Minio Paluello, Lorenzo
No full textLorenzo Minio Paluello (Belluno 1907 – Oxford 1986). Di famiglia veneziana, studiò a Padova, dove si laureò nel 1929. Tra il 1932 e il 1933 si perfezionò a Parigi. Al suo rientro in Italia, insegnò in una scuola secondaria in Istria fino al 1935, quando fu escluso dall’insegnamento per la sua opposizione al regime fascista. Nel 1939 accettò l’invito dell’Oriel College di Oxford e si trasferì in Inghilterra. Oxford sarebbe rimasta la sua università per tutta la carriera, a parte un breve passaggio a Padova. Nel 1954 Minio era stato infatti incluso nella terna vincitrice di un concorso di Filologia medioevale e umanistica presso l’Università cattolica di Milano; sulla base di quel risultato, nell’autunno 1956 la Facoltà di Lettere e filosofia dell’Università di Padova lo chiamò come professore straordinario (prese servizio il 15 dicembre 1956). Per l’a.a. 1956/57 tenne un corso su “I testi filosofici greci nella tradizione latina”, in cui dovette ricoprire un ruolo centrale la traduzione latina della “Poetica” di Aristotele che lo stesso Minio aveva attribuito qualche anno prima a Guglielmo di Moerbeke (1215-1286) e di cui nel 1953 aveva curato l’edizione portando a termine, con Ezio Franceschini, il lavoro iniziato da Erse Valgimigli, precocemente scomparsa nel 1931, figlia di Manara Valgimigli, che era stato uno dei maestri padovani di Minio. Per l’a.a. successivo gli era stato affidato l’insegnamento di Storia della filosofia medioevale, ma, con lettera del 3 novembre 1957, Minio presentò le sue dimissioni.
Minio Paluello, il «grande solitario delle cultura filologica e letteraria del Novecento» (Claudio Leonardi), è stato uno dei maggiori studiosi del pensiero aristotelico medievale: «tutta la sua vita fu dedicata a un lavoro filologico tra i più ardui, e di conseguenza solitari: la riconquista dell’opera logica nella sua autenticità […]; ma insieme mettendo in luce le deformazioni subite nella tradizione manoscritta, nei grandi centri che hanno cambiato la cultura medievale e in essa la cultura dell’Occidente e di tutto il mondo» (Id.). Fu uno dei motori propulsori della monumentale impresa dell’ “Aristoteles Latinus”, collana di edizioni delle traduzioni latine dello “Stagirita”, con cui collaborò già dal 1947 e che diresse dal 1959 al 1973. Oltre all’opera di progettazione e direzione, Minio curò personalmente diverse edizioni di traduzioni delle opere logiche di Aristotele. Giova qui ricordare anche il suo interesse dantesco.

No full textSelf-identification with another person's face. The time relevant role of multimodal brain areas in the enfacement illusion
No full textIllusory subjective experience of looking at one's own face while in fact looking at another person's face can surprisingly be induced by simple synchronized visuo-tactile stimulation of the two faces. Recently, Apps and colleagues (Cerebral Cortex, 2014) investigated for the first time the role of visual unimodal and temporo-parietal multimodal brain areas in the enfacement illusion, and suggested a model in which multisensory mechanisms are crucial to construct and update self-face representation

The beauty of the body
No full textAesthetics can be defined as our ability to perceive, feel and sense objects in the world and assign them positive or negative values along a continuum between beauty and ugliness. The psychological processes underlying the sense of what is beautiful or ugly imply perception and appraisal of objects of art, as well as emotional and interoceptive reactivity towards them. Exploration of the neural underpinnings of these processes is at the core of neuroaesthetics, a new cognitive neuroscience domain that aims to investigate the neural activity associated with feelings of pleasure or displeasure generated by either cognitive or sensuous interaction with a wide variety of objects that may thus become objects of art. We argue that the sensuous dimension of art appreciation calls into play the cerebral sensorimotor representation of one's own and others' bodies. Studies indicate that specific brain areas process perception of static or dynamic bodies. In the present article, we discuss two related issues (1) whether aesthetic visual appreciation of bodies is based on neural activity linked to visual body perception, beauty appreciation or both and (2) whether there exists a single cerebral locus where all possible types of aesthetic experiences ultimately converge
Minio dzieciom. O twórczości przekładowej Janusza Minkiewicza
No full textJanusz Minkiewicz was an excellent poet, satirist, translator, contributor to many important periodicals, friend of Tuwim and Brzechwa, author of famous satires and political cribs, but also of numerous works for children and translator. His first translation published in book form appeared after the war, quickly gaining a circle of enthusiasts, both among children and adults. To date, more than a dozen titles intended for a young audience have been published, the vast majority of which have been reprinted many times. Minkiewicz translated mainly from Russian, but his translation output also included English poetry, German or Italian. The paper – the result of a search conducted at the Polish Writers Donation Library, at the State Archive in Warsaw, at the Nasza Księgarnia and at the Adam Mickiewicz Museum in Warsaw – is the first attempt to look at Janusz Minkiewicz’s translation output addressed to young readers

Effects of sulphate limitation on photosynthesis and cell composition of unicellular marine microalgae of different phylogeny.
No full textSulfur (S) is an essential macroelement for photosynthetic organisms and is acquired as sulfate and assimilated as sulfide into cysteine through a highly demanding reductive process. S is a key component of proteins, lipids, and various other cellular metabolites and plays a direct role in photosynthesis, both in the electron transport and in carbon fixation reactions. Despite such central functions, most of our knowledge on S metabolism is focused on plant species, while in microalgae it is still fragmented, particularly concerning their huge phylogenetic diversity. Here, we investigated responses to continuous low sulfate availability in three marine microalgae, two Chlorophytes, Tetraselmis suecica and Dunaliella salina, and the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, by characterizing their growth, photosynthesis, elemental, and macromolecular composition. As a general trend, all the microalgae acclimated to the low sulfate medium prioritized the allocation of available resources to photosynthesis. By modulating their pigment content per cell and the stoichiometry of their photosynthetic apparatus, S-limited cells kept in vivo photosynthetic activity close to that of control cultures. Conversely, growth and cell composition were modulated in a species-specific manner. Results are discussed also in an evolutionary perspective, taking into consideration that, throughout Earth's history, sulfate concentration significantly increased from ancient to modern oceans, and such variation was paralleled by changes in the ecological abundances between algal groups, with the red algae lineage of present-day oceans supplanting the green algae, more abundant in the past
