Ugo Gregoretti, auteur et réalisateur : télévision, cinéma, opéra et théâtre
No full textLa thèse de doctorat représente une enquête approfondie et complète sur la carrière vaste et diversifiée d'Ugo Gregoretti dans les domaines de la télévision, du cinéma, de l'opéra et du théâtre. À travers une approche biographique et une utilisation extensive des sources du Centre d'études Ugo Gregoretti à Pontelandolfo, cette recherche met en lumière la vie et les œuvres d'un artiste éclectique dont la signification a largement été négligée. Les résultats de l'analyse révèlent un profil artistique d'une grande polyvalence, caractérisé par une profonde sensibilité à l'ironie et une inclination marquée à exprimer sa vision artistique à travers divers médias. Gregoretti se présente comme un auteur d'une grande versatilité, capable de couvrir différents genres et modes d'expression tout en maintenant une originalité cohérente dans chacune de ses œuvres. Un aspect fondamental de la recherche est l'absence d'études approfondies dédiées à Gregoretti, malgré son impact significatif sur le paysage artistique et culturel italien. Cette thèse comble cette lacune en fournissant une analyse complète de sa carrière et de sa contribution au développement de l'art et du divertissement en Italie. Ainsi, la recherche dévoile non seulement une figure négligée, mais elle jette également une nouvelle lumière sur les dynamiques culturelles et artistiques du pays, enrichissant la compréhension globale de son évolutionThe doctoral thesis represents an in- depth and comprehensive investigation into Ugo Gregoretti's extensive and diverse career in the fields of television, film, opera, and theater. Through a biographical approach and extensive use of sources from the Ugo Gregoretti Study Center in Pontelandolfo, this research sheds light on the life and works of an eclectic artist whose significance has been largely overlooked. The findings of the analysis reveal an artistically multifaceted profile, characterized by a deep sensitivity to irony and a marked inclination to express his artistic vision through a variety of media. Gregoretti emerges as an author with extraordinary versatility, capable of spanning different genres and modes of expression while maintaining consistent originality in each of his works. A fundamental aspect of the research is the absence of in-depth studies dedicated to Gregoretti, despite his significant impact on the Italian artistic and cultural landscape. This thesis fills this gap, providing a comprehensive analysis of his career and his contribution to the development of art and entertainment in Italy. In this way, the research not only unveils a neglected figure but also sheds new light on the cultural and artistic dynamics of the country, enriching the overall understanding of its evolutio
Citations and metrics of journals discontinued from Scopus for publication concerns: the GhoS(t)copus Project
No full textBackground: Scopus is a leading bibliometric database. It contains a large part of the articles cited in peer-reviewed publications . The journals included in Scopus are periodically re-evaluated to ensure they meet indexing criteria and some journals might be discontinued for 'publication concerns'. Previously published articles may remain indexed and can be cited. Their metrics have yet to be studied. This study aimed to evaluate the main features and metrics of journals discontinued from Scopus for publication concerns, before and after their discontinuation, and to determine the extent of predatory journals among the discontinued journals. Methods: We surveyed the list of discontinued journals from Scopus (July 2019). Data regarding metrics, citations and indexing were extracted from Scopus or other scientific databases, for the journals discontinued for publication concerns. Results: A total of 317 journals were evaluated. Ninety-three percent of the journals (294/317) declared they published using an Open Access model. The subject areas with the greatest number of discontinued journals were Medicine (52/317; 16%), Agriculture and Biological Science (34/317; 11%), and Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (31/317; 10%). The mean number of citations per year after discontinuation was significantly higher than before (median of difference 16.89 citations, p<0.0001), and so was the number of citations per document (median of difference 0.42 citations, p<0.0001). Twenty-two percent (72/317) were included in the Cabell's blacklist. The DOAJ currently included only 9 journals while 61 were previously included and discontinued, most for 'suspected editorial misconduct by the publisher'. Conclusions: Journals discontinued for 'publication concerns' continue to be cited despite discontinuation and predatory behaviour seemed common. These citations may influence scholars' metrics prompting artificial career advancements, bonus systems and promotion. Countermeasures should be taken urgently to ensure the reliability of Scopus metrics for the purpose of scientific assessment of scholarly publishing at both journal- and author-level
Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of l‐valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum CGMCC 7.366 for all animal species (Ningxia Eppen Biotech Co., Ltd.)
No full text[EN] Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of the feed additive consisting of l-valine produced by fermentation using a non-genetically modified strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum (CGMCC 7.366). The additive is intended to be used in feed and water for drinking for all animal species and categories. The production strain is considered suitable for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that l-valine produced using C. glutamicum CGMCC 7.366 is safe for the target species when supplemented in appropriate amounts to the diet according to the nutritional needs of the target species. The FEEDAP Panel has concerns on the use of amino acids in water for drinking for hygienic reasons, and due to the risk of imbalances when administered simultaneously via feed. The use of l-valine produced using C. glutamicum CGMCC 7.366 in animal nutrition is considered safe for the consumer and for the environment. No conclusion could be drawn on the potential of l-valine produced using C. glutamicum CGMCC 7.366 to be toxic by inhalation, irritant to the skin or eyes, or a dermal sensitiser due to the lack of data. The additive l-valine produced by fermentation using C. glutamicum CGMCC 7.366 is regarded as an efficacious source of the essential amino acid l-valine for non-ruminant nutrition. For the supplemental l-valine to be as efficacious in ruminants as in non-ruminant species, it requires protection against degradation in the rumenSIThe Panel wishes to acknowledge the contribution of Jaume Galobart, Yolanda Garc ıa Cazorla and Lucilla Gregoretti to this opinio

Apollon, una fabbrica occupata: quando la lotta diventa “docufiction”
No full textThe essay will be dedicated to a careful analysis of the 1968 film scene, with the birth of the so-called militant cinema. We will try to bring back, thanks to the numerous archival materials found in the historical archive of «l’Unità», the debate that raged then on how to pose and must shoot a political documentary. It is in this context that the director and television author Ugo Gregoretti will become a standard bearer of militant «reformist» cinema. The central theme of the essay will be to investigate the forms of intervention of the political-social commitment of the director, especially by examining his first documentary of political and social commitment: Apollon: una fabbrica occupata, shot alongside the workers in an occupied print shop on the outskirts of Rome. We will see above all why Apollon: una fabbrica occupata became in a few months the stone of scandal: loved by the workers, hated by almost all the film criticsIl saggio sarà dedicato ad una attenta analisi del panorama cinematografico del 1968, con la nascita del cosiddetto cinema militante. Si tenterà di riportare, grazie al numeroso materiale archivistico reperito nell’archivio storico de «l’Unità», il dibattito che allora imperversava su come porsi e dover girare un documentario politico. È proprio in questo contesto, che il regista e autore televisivo Ugo Gregoretti diventerà un alfiere del cinema militante «riformista». Il tema centrale del saggio sarà indagare le forme d’intervento dell’impegno politico-sociale del regista, in particolar modo prendendo in esame il suo primo documentario di impegno politico e sociale: Apollon: una fabbrica occupata, girato al fianco degli operai in una tipografia occupata della periferia di Roma. Si vedrà soprattutto perché Apollon: una fabbrica occupata diventò in pochi mesi la pietra dello scandalo: amato dagli operai, odiato da quasi tutta la critica cinematografica. ; Apollon; Docufiction; Cinema militante; Movimento studentesc
Assessment of the feed additive consisting of <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> NCIMB 30117 for all animal species for the renewal of its authorisation (Chr. Hansen A/S)
No full textFollowing a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the application for renewal of Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30117 as a technological additive for use in forage for all animal species. The additive aims to improve the production of silage and is authorised for all animal species. The applicant has provided evidence that the additive currently on the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. There is no new evidence that would lead the FEEDAP Panel to reconsider its previous conclusions. Thus, the Panel concludes that the additive remains safe for all animal species, consumer and the environment under the authorised conditions of use. Regarding user safety, the additive should be considered as a respiratory sensitiser. No conclusions can be drawn on the skin sensitisation, and eye and skin irritancy potential of the additive. There is no need for assessing the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation.</p
Assessment of the feed additive consisting of Lactococcus lactis DSM 11037 for all animal species for the renewal of its authorisation (Chr. Hansen A/S)
No full textAbstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the application for renewal of Lactococcus lactis DSM 11037, a technological additive to improve ensiling of forage for all animal species. The applicant has provided evidence that the additive currently on the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. There is no new evidence that would lead the FEEDAP Panel to reconsider its previous conclusions. Thus, the Panel concludes that the additive remains safe for all animal species, consumer and the environment under the authorised conditions of use. Regarding user safety, the additive is not a skin and eye irritant but should be considered a respiratory sensitiser. In absence of data, the Panel cannot conclude on the skin sensitisation potential of the additive. There is no need for assessing the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation
Safety and efficacy of secondary aliphatic saturated or unsaturated alcohols, ketones, ketals and esters with a second secondary or tertiary oxygenated functional group belonging to chemical group 10 when used as flavourings for all animal species
No full textFollowing a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of 11 compounds belonging to chemical group 10. They are currently authorised as flavours in food. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that: diacetyl [07.052] is safe at the proposed maximum use level of 25 mg/kg complete feed for all target species, except piglets, chickens for fattening, laying hens and cats, for which the proposed normal use level of 5 mg/kg is safe; 3-hydroxybutan-2-one [07.051], 3-methylcyclo-pentan-1,2-dione [07.056], 3- ethylcyclopentan-1,2-dione [07.057], pentan-2,3-dione [07.060], 3,4-dimethylcyclopentan-1,2-dione [07.075], 3,5-dimethyl cyclopentan-1,2-dione [07.076], hexan-3,4-dione [07.077] and sec-butan-3-onyl acetate [09.186] are safe at the proposed maximum dose level of 5 mg/kg for all target species; 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en- 1,4-dione [07.109] and 3-methylnona-2,4-dione [07.184] are safe only at concentrations below the proposed use levels (0.5 mg/kg for cattle, salmonids and non-food producing animals, and 0.3 mg/kg for pigs and poultry). No safety concern would arise for the consumer from the use of these compounds up to the highest proposed level in feeds. Hazards for skin and eye contact and respiratory exposure are recognised for the majority of the compounds under application. Most are classified as irritating to the respiratory system. For 3- hydroxybutan-2-one [07.051], diacetyl [07.052], pentan-2,3-dione [07.060], hexan-3,4-dione [07.077], 2,6,6- trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1,4-dione [07.109], 3-methylnona-2,4-dione [07.184] and sec-butan-3-onyl acetate [09.186], the maximum proposed use levels are considered safe for the environment. For cyclopentanediones (3-methylcyclopentan-1,2-dione [07.056], 3-ethylcyclopentan-1.2-dione [07.057], 3,4 dimethylcyclopentan- 1,2-dione [07.075] and 3,5-dimethylcyclopentan-1,2-dione [07.076]) usage at levels up to 0.5 mg/kg feed is unlikely to have an adverse effect on the terrestrial or freshwater environments. Because all the compounds under assessment are used in food as flavourings and their function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy is necessary
Assessment of the feed additive consisting of copper chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine for all animal species for the renewal of its authorisation (Novus Europe S.A./N.V.)
No full textThe Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the application for renewal of authorisation of copper chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine (Mintrex (R) Cu) for all animal species. The FEEDAP Panel has delivered two opinions (in 2008 and 2009) on the safety and efficacy of the additive. The additive was authorised in 2010 as 'Copper chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine' containing 18% copper, 79.5-81% (2-hydroxy-4-methylthio)butanoic acid (DL-methionine hydroxy analogue, HMTBa) and 1% mineral oil. Following some modifications in the manufacturing process, the additive does not contain mineral oil and the applicant proposes the following specifications: >= 16% copper and >= 78% HMTBa. The data provided indicate that the additive complies with the new specifications. No new evidence was found that would make the FEEDAP Panel reconsidering its previous conclusions on the safety for target species, consumers and environment. The applicant provided new studies on the effects of the additive on the respiratory tract and on skin and eyes. Data on the characterisation of the additive and the new studies on skin/eyes led the Panel to reconsider the safety for the user. Mintrex((R))Cu is considered as a skin and eye irritant and a skin sensitiser; the risk of respiratory sensitisation is considered low. The present application did not include a proposal for amending or supplementing the conditions of the original authorisation that would have an impact on the efficacy of the additive; therefore, there was no need for assessing the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation.
