    «Non s'introduce alcun vocabolo se il bisogno non se ne fa sentire» : Emmanuele Rocco e la questione dei neologismi nell'Ottocento

    No full text
    Riassunto : Il «filologo napoletano» Emmanuele Rocco è una figura di un certo rilievo nella cultura linguistica italiana del medio e secondo Ottocento. Giornalista poligrafo e polemista vivace, oltre che lessicografo di prim’ordine, Rocco fu uno dei principali compilatori del Vocabolario universale italiano noto come Tramater e fu autore, tra le altre cose, di una raccolta di diverse migliaia di aggiunte e correzioni alla lessicografia italiana e, soprattutto, di un monumentale dizionario storico del dialetto napoletano, redatto per intero, ma interrotto nella stampa alla voce feletto. Il presente articolo si propone in particolare di delineare le idee e la posizione di Rocco nell’ambito delle discussioni ottocentesche intorno ai neologismi.||Abstract : The «filologo napoletano» Emmanuele Rocco is a figure of some prominence in Italian linguistic culture of the middle and second half of the 19th century. A polygraph journalist and lively polemicist, as well as a first-rate lexicographer, Rocco was one of the main compilers of the Vocabolario universale italiano known as Tramater and was the author, among other things, of a collection of several thousand additions and corrections to Italian lexicography and, above all, of a monumental historical dictionary of Neapolitan, compiled in full but discontinued in print at the entry for feletto. This article aims in particular to outline Rocco’s ideas and position in the context of nineteenth-century discussions around neologisms

    Building international doctoral schools in computer science in italy, de nicola’s way

    No full text
    Rocco De Nicola has played a key role in establishing two international PhD schools in computer science in Italy, one at IMT Lucca and the other at the GSSI in L’Aquila. This short article describes some of the principles that have guided the establishment of the doctoral programmes at those institutions and the lessons the authors have learnt by working with Rocco De Nicola at the GSSI

    Pension reforms, longer working horizons, and absence from work

    Using matched employer-employee data for Italy and newly available information on sick leave certificates, we study the effect of an exogenous increase in the length of the residual work horizon—triggered by a pension reform that increased minimum retirement age—on middle-aged employees’ absence from work due to sick leaves. We find that this effect is positive for females and negative for males. We explain these results by arguing that the intertemporal substitution of leisure prevailed over the fear of job loss for females, while the opposite happened to males. Sick leaves increased only for females working in firms that pay smaller wage premia to female workers than to males, suggesting that, in these firms, females exchange lower pay for higher flexibility in their work schedule

    Dormancy of Medicago marina (L.) seed

    Medicago marina (L.) is a Mediterranean species whose seeds show strong dormancy that prevents germination. We used an integrated approach of physiological analyses and proteomics to investigate the mechanisms that control M. marina dormancy/germination and that underlie stress tolerance. First, we evaluated the effects on dormancy breaking of the following treatments: mechanical scarification, freezing at −20 ◦C, storage for 4 months and heating at 100 ◦C for 1 h. Mechanical scarification and freezing were the most effective treatments in overcoming dormancy. The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in M. marina dormancy was studied by ELISA immuno-enzymatic assay. The ABA content of germinated and nongerminated mature (control) and treated seeds was determined. The level of ABA was higher in treated seeds than in control seeds; the most significant increase occurred in the heated seeds. A comparison of the ABA level in the germinated, control and treated seeds suggests that different mechanisms modulate ABA content in response to different stresses, and that a specific ABA-signalling pathway regulates germination. Proteomic analysis revealed 46 proteins differentially expressed between treated and untreated seeds; 14 of these proteins were subsequently identified by mass spectrometry. Several of the proteins identified are important factors in the stress response, and are involved in such diverse functions as lipid metabolism, protein folding and chromatin protection. Lastly, an analysis of the phosphoproteome maps showed that the function of many proteins in seeds subjected to temperature treatment is modulated through post-translational modifications
