No full textEros e libertà: Gianni Carchia interprete di Schelling
No full textThe paper reconstructs Gianni Carchia’s reading of the elaborate notion of love in Schelling’s philosophy of freedom. Love, according to Schelling, is a relationship between two terms, which have the power to exist independently of the relationship itself and therefore freely choose to bind themselves to each other. According to the analysis conducted by the philosopher from Turin, love in this context is not only a uniting force, but also a self-destructive force, pushing man towards the abyss. On the basis of his reading of Schellingian texts, Carchia then theorized a form of philosophy in which the dialectical form of mediation is transcended by narrative
Negotiating motherhood in the works of Laudomia Bonanni
No full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the notion of the maternal in the works of Laudomia Bonanni. I have focused on three of Bonanni’s texts for this purpose: a collection of three short stories entitled Il fosso, and the novels L'imputata and Le droghe. In my analysis, I demonstrate how her writing provides a voice for women and their struggle to survive as mothers and wives in postwar Italy. While examining these issues, I also consider the influence of patriarchal institutions in shaping the status of motherhood in post-World War II Italy and how these cultural and social constraints are portrayed in her works. My research leads to significant conclusions regarding intertextual relationships in Bonanni’s works and her commitment to social critique. In the end, I claim that Laudomia Bonanni, despite her insistence that she is not affiliated with any feminist movement, emerges as a true champion of women’s rights, particularly those of mothers.Ph.

Dropped head syndrome with necrotizing myopathy: A drug class effect confirmed by 3 repeated exposures to non ergolinic dopamine agonists, due to L-Dopa phobia
No full textBackground: Dropped head syndrome (DHS) or antecollis is a common complication in multiple system atrophy and a rare complication in L-Dopa responsive Parkinson's disease (PD). Few reports described DHS as a side effect of dopamine agonists (DAs) treatment in PD, mostly in Asian patients. Case report: We report a single case of DHS in a 56 year-old Caucasian male patient affected by PD. Insistent and repeated DA treatment with pramipexole, ropinirole and rotigotine was due to L-Dopa phobia and DA withdrawal syndrome. Each DA treatment was accompanied by DHS recurrence with muscle enzyme increment. Results: The cause of DHS was identified by muscle biopsy as a necrotizing myopathy. Repeated administration of different DAs, inducing recurrence of DHS shows that DHS was due to a drug class effect of non ergolinic dopamine agonists. Conclusion: The exposure to three different non ergolinic DA induced DHS in this patients, suggesting a role of DA receptor sensitivity in the pathogenesis of DHS. Our case report also calls attention to a possible rare side effect of non ergolinic dopamine agonists go along with two other complications of PD treatments, L-Dopa phobia and dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome, which prompted the repeated exposures. © 2015 Elsevier GmbH
Bone Marrow NK Cells: Origin, Distinctive Features, and Requirements for Tissue Localization
No full textNK cell maturation is a continuous process, which initiates in the bone marrow and proceeds in peripheral tissues, where NK cells follow distinct differentiation routes. Drastic phenotypic changes are observed during progression from precursors to mature NK cells, including changes of expression and functionalities of several chemoattractant receptors. Upon differentiation, mature NK cells migrate outside the bone marrow; as well, peculiar subsets of NK cells can also home back to or localize in this anatomic compartment to play specific functions. In humans, NK cells with a tissue resident phenotype have been identified in bone marrow, sharing similarities with tissue resident memory CD8+ T cells; while in mouse, long-lived NK cells undergo homeostatic proliferation in this site during viral infections. The mechanisms underlying NK cell subset localization in the bone marrow have only recently started to be investigated, especially in pathological settings such as tumors or infections. In this review, we discuss the phenotype and function of NK cells as well as their requirements for bone marrow maintenance and/or homing. Copyright © 2019 Bonanni, Sciumè, Santoni and Bernardini.

Albori di Entomologia merceologica e urbana nell'opera del microscopista Filippo Bonanni (1638-1725)
No full textFILIPPO BONANNI (1638-1725)
The Roman Jesuit Filippo Bonanni (1638-1725) is a prominent figure in the European cultural
landscape of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He was a scholar, a man of many interests,
both humanistic and scientific, an eclectic writer; in the history of biological sciences Bonanni
occupies a non-marginal position for his contributions in the malacological and entomological
fields, but he is best known for being, in the wake of his master the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, a
staunch defender of the theory of spontaneous generation. This certainly damaged his reputation
as a scholar in comparison with more or less contemporary scientists who instead contributed to
refuting this theory with accurate experimental research (among the Italians, in this regard, Redi,
Malpighi, Marsili, Cestoni and Vallisnieri stand out). Bonanni’s observations on insects and other
arthropods, which he carried out above all with the aim of finding arguments in favor of the
generatio aequivoca, are found in his work Observationes circa viventia, quae in rebus non
viventibus reperiuntur. Cum micrographia curiosa sive rerum minutissimarum observationibus,
quae ope microscopii recognitae ad vivum exprimuntur, published in Rome in 1691. Written
observations thus supporting spontaneous generation, but accompanied by numerous valuable
illustrations made with the aid of the microscope which Bonanni, valiant microscopist as well as
a skilled draftsman and engraver, perfected himself, in order to investigate the microcosm of
arthropods beyond the potential of the human eye - apart from the dialectical intent mentioned
above. This is the primary objective of the Micrographia curiosa, the appendix to his work, which
enriches what is presented in the main part of the volume with further findings and tables. A
valuable work, above all related to commodity, urban and stored product entomology, given that
the author finds in the arthropods of the urban and domestic environment the raw material most
at hand as a source for observations and experiences. With surprising precision for the time, in
the Observationes mosquito, sand fly, flea, lice, booklice, coleopteran larvae, moths, other
dipterans and their details, mites, etc. are illustrated. Bonanni is the first descriptor and illustrator
ever of certain insects. Among others, worthy of note is a dermestid larva, very probably of the
genus Anthrenus, with much enlarged detail of the typical hastisetae or spear bristles, and some
figures of pretarsi of Diptera Brachycera. As a microscopist he can be compared to the
Englishman Robert Hooke (1635-1709), almost coeval, who published a Micrographia in London
(1667), from which Bonanni seems to have drawn useful insights
Le destinazioni educative della Generazione X: risultati e disuguaglianze in una prospettiva generazionale
No full textL'analisi delle disuguaglianze nel tempo, specialmente quelle
legate all'istruzione, è stata un tema rilevante nelle scienze sociali. Questo
studio propone un approccio diacronico basato su coorti-generazioni dal
secondo dopoguerra a oggi, mostrando la doppia tendenza per un verso di
crescita dei livelli di istruzione della popolazione italiana e per un altro di
quanto i divari persistenti tra le classi sociali siano rimasti relativamente
stabili nonostante l accresciuta partecipazione al sistema educativo.
Nell'articolo ci si concentra poi sulla cosiddetta Generazione X, poiché essa
può essere considerata la generazione che per prima ha esperito il
rallentamento di uno sviluppo economico ritenuto illimitato e inevitabilmente
positivo. Infine, si è cercato di avviare una riflessione sui destini educativi
delle generazioni future alla luce dei cambiamenti paradigmatici avvenuti nel
tempo
