La poesia viaggia in treno.La ferrovia nella poesia italiana del Novecento
No full textL’articolo, dopo una premessa di carattere metodologico e sociologico, compie un excursus sulla presenza del treno, nuovo mezzo di comunicazione a partire dalla fine dell’Ottocento, nella poesia italiana del Novecento, partendo dalla novità tematica che questo mezzo di comunicazione rappresenta per l’immaginario poetico dell’ultimo secolo.
Dagli scapigliati a Carducci a Montale a Luzi a Sereni a Caproni a Erba il saggio analizza i vari modi di rappresentazione della ferrovia nella poesia italiana del Novecento

Primi appunti di Luzi su Teilhard de Chardin. Note in margine a un articolo ritrovato
No full textIl lascito degli scritti di Teilhard de Chardin sull'opera di Mario Luzi si arricchisce di una nuova scheda, fatta oggetto di studio in questo saggio: si tratta di un articolo intitolato "Teilhard e Maritain", rimasto inedito e recentemente rinvenuto tra le carte dell'autore, che nel 1967 avrebbe dovuto inaugurare la collaborazione del poeta alla pagina letteraria del "Corriere della Sera", con argomenti di francesistica
Infrared Thermography (IRT) in nude mice : an alternative method for body temperature measurement
No full textResearchers at Milan University and Mario Negri Institute in Italy have developed an alternative method for body temperature measurement, using infrared thermography (IRT) in nude mice. At the 2010 Scand FELASA meeting, Fornasier et Al., showed that baseline recordings (5 min) of Tmax (the time after administration of a drug where maximum plasma concentration is achieved) showed an acceptable variability within the same animal with a coefficient of variability (CV%) ranging between 0.8–1.21. Tmax (39.0°C) was always located in the intrascapular region, in the area of brown adipose deposits (IBAT) which is normally involved in thermogenesis in rodents.
In another trial2,3, researchers studied stress in C57BL/6j and BALB / c mice housed in different individually ventilated cages (IVCs). To ensure the highest state of welfare of laboratory animals, they evaluated the behavioural and physiological (surface temperature) response of mice maintained in two different IVCsystems characterised by different points of air injection (cover or animal level) to determine any possible difference in the anxiety levels of the animals.
64 C57Bl6/J and 64 BALB/c 6 weeks old SPF, female mice were used; the animals were maintained at 22± 2 °C and 55± 10% RH with food and water provided ad-libitum. The animals were housed four per cage in two different IVC cages with different air inlet solutions at cover (75 ACH) or animal (50 ACH) level and observed for seven weeks.
They found significant differences in anxiety-related behaviour between strain and housing systems. These results suggest that, in addition to influencing mouse choice4, different IVC housing systems can influence mouse behaviour, with mice of both strains, exhibiting more anxiety-related behaviour when housing in cage systems where the air entry is at “animal” level at 50 ACH.
The same Milan University team2 showed the use of IRT analysis in immunodeficient mice’s nest (Figures 1 and 2). Through the use of IRT, they evaluated the temperature of the nest during the cage change, showing a decrease of about 3°C, as shown in Figure 3. The thermographic technique ensured a strict SPF status and limited operator intervention and invasiveness, improving animal welfare.
CONCLUSION
InfraRed thermography is a non-invasive method to monitor the health status of laboratory animals. In the future, the thermographic technique could be optimised in order to detect temperature of the animals in the least invasive way possible. This technique has to be further investigated to determine the correlation between superficial (as measured by thermography) and internal body temperatures in different species and in different physiological conditions.

Technical note: Applicability of infrared thermography as a non invasive measurements of stress in rabbit
No full text[EN] Among the main physiological stress indicators, the temperature evaluation is very important and
innovative because it may be monitored without directly interacting with the animal. The use of a thermographic
system, which is based on the detection of infrared radiation emitted by a subject, is a suitable method in order
to measure temperature without any contact. In this research, a thermographic system was employed in order
to single out the rabbit skin's zones most suitable for the temperature monitoring during stress challenges. Six
hybrid rabbits were observed during induced stress; the areas selected as reference were: the ocular area
(globe and periocular area), the internal auricle pavilion, and a shaved area of the head. The results of this pilot
study show that the thermographic technique is a suitable method for the evaluation of temperature on rabbit.
The best areas singled out were the eye bulb, the periocular area and the ear skin. The results concerning the
effect of stress on cutaneous temperature showed that during stress condition a decrease in temperature
occurs with respect to the basal condition (AT~1°C) and this trend is more evident for the auricle pavillion. In
fact, this reaction is more evidenced in the ear skin, where a vasoconstriction process occurs. Moreover,
corticosterone levels slightly increase (P=0.08) following the stressor's challenge due to tonic immobility test.
In this research, both temperature and the change in corticosterone level show that the stress reaction
induced by tonic immobility test is stronger than the one due to the other stressors applied to rabbits.The authors wish to thank for the kind collaboration: Dr. Elena Cavallone, Dr. Marino Campagnol,

L’india di mario luzi: «questa enorme, meravigliosa forza del paradosso»
No full textThe article is focused on Mario Luzi’s travels to India, a compelling experience for the Florentine poet. Starting from the author’s travel notebooks, the essay analyses Luzi’s impressions and attitudes towards Indian culture. The poet was initially shocked at the sight of extreme poverty, even if fascinated by India’s monumentality. Little by little, he discovered the essence of India in its “force of paradox”. The article also investigates the importance for Luzi’s poetical career of the writings of the Indian philosopher Sri Aurobindo
