Insects as sustainable feed and food
Full text linkSubmitted 2020-07-06 | Accepted 2020-07-31 | Available 2020-12-01https://doi.org/10.15414/afz.2020.23.mi-fpap.214-216Insects are one of the proposed responses to the increasing request of alternative feed/food productions with high production yield and low environmental impact. Insect production offers a new sustainable alternative for unexploited or underexploited resources, in accordance with the waste hierarchy principles. Insects constitute a reliable alternative or addition to feed due to their nutritional characteristics (e.g. protein content, amino acid profile and/or digestibility levels). Edible insects may be part of human foods mostly as ingredients in already well-known products or integration of insect-based foods into existing diets. In the near future research is needed to increase knowledges and support the insect industry to a considerably scale up to reach competitive price and high-quality products.Keywords: entomophagy, novel food, environment, protein, fatReferenceFinke, M.

La DaD nell’emergenza Covid19: restrizione spaziale e sfida per una nuova temporalizzazione
No full textL’introduzione della DaD nell’università, come risposta di emergenza alla pandemia del Covid19, ha comportato inevitabilmente il sacrificio della dimensione spaziale nel percorso formativo degli studenti e nella loro socialità. Questa restrizione, tuttavia, può creare il presupposto per riguadagnare in intensità ciò che si perde in estensione e ripensare, in termini filosofici, il rapporto tra temporalizzazione e spazializzazione nel processo di costruzione della personalità nella sua coscienza storica.The introduction of the DDA in the university, as an emergency response to the Covid19 pandemic, inevitably entailed the sacrifice of the spatial dimension in the training of students and in their social relations. This restriction, however, can create the prerequisite for regaining in intensity what is lost in extension and rethinking, in philosophical terms, the relationship between temporalization and spatialization in the process of building the personality in its historical consciousness
MUSULMANE ED EUROPEE: CITTADINANZA, GENERE E CULTURA NELL’EUROPA PLURALE
No full textAfter highlighting the importance of gender difference in the construction of collective identities, this article identifies a shift in the ratio of
measures regulating Muslim women’s clothing, from the need to protect
them from their oppressive culture, to their constructions as emblems of
the enemy.
Dopo aver sottolineato l’importanza della differenza di genere nella
costruzione delle identità collettive, l’articolo identifica un cambiamento
nella giustificazione delle misure che limitano il diritto delle donne musulmane a portare il velo, da una logica di protezione delle donne ad una
che le costruisce come emblemi del nemico
Approccio eutanasico e palliativo al fine vita
No full textL'articolo intende mostrare le aporie che inficiano l'ultimo documento della commissione di bioetica delle Chiese italiane valdese, metodista e battista, nel legittimare l'eutanasia, e nel ritenere non sufficiente la via della sedazione terminale continua e profonda. L'articolo mostra che alla base di quella scelta opera il presupposto aporetico della bioetica di Engelhart, che traccia un’astratta linea di separazione tra comunità e società
Histoire des religions et constructivisme. La religion comme 'technique'
No full text(Résumé de l'ouvrage) Qu'est-ce qui justifie l'emploi de rituels dans de nombreuses civilisations, anciennes ou contemporaines ? Sur quoi repose l'efficacité des rites ? Pour répondre à ces questions, ce livre propose une approche transdisciplinaire novatrice, qui rompt avec le cloisonnement en champs scientifiques étanches prévalant trop souvent dans l'exploration des pratiques rituelles. La réflexion autour des frontières et interactions entre les sphères socioculturelle, psychique et physiologique fait ressortir le caractère plastique et dynamique de celles-ci. Il s'agit notamment de souligner l'importance, dans de nombreuses cultures et à des épo-ques différentes, de techniques ou « orthopratiques » corporelles, psychologiques et sociales utilisées en vue de résultats pratiques spécifiques. Par ailleurs, les discours et les « représentations » propres aux systèmes institutionnels (science, médecine, philosophie, théologie) sur lesquels repose notre culture moderne se révèlent à même d'effectuer la « construction-réalisation » des objets mêmes qu'ils prétendent décrire. Ainsi, tant les « orthopratiques » appliquées, traitées dans la première partie du volume, que les pratiques émanant de nos systèmes institutionnels, traitées dans la seconde partie, tendent vers des objectifs transformationnels et opératoires. Alors que les unes opèrent dans un cadre magico-religieux, thérapeutique ou pédagogique, les autres se situent dans le contexte de la modernité. Mais elles se rejoignent en une dynamique dont les contribu-tions réunies ici viennent éclairer la nature et l'homme aux niveaux organique, psychique et historico-social. Ce qui revient, du même coup, à relancer l'interrogation philosophique qui porte sur la notion même de « réalité »
Il senso e il futuro della coscienza individuale nella metafisica di Piero Martinetti
No full textL'articolo intende analizzare la posizione di Martinetti sulla sopravvivenza dell'anima individuale dopo la morte, così come si presenta nella sua metafisica e alla luce della sua principale fonte di ispirazione, individuata nella filosofia di Plotino.
Martinetti mostra come il rapporto tra unità e molteplicità si presenti nell'uomo in due diverse e complementari prospettive: come una fondamentale identità nella dimensione intemporale della vita intelligibile dello spirito, e come una tensione dinamica nell'ordine empirico del divenire spazio-temporale. Entrambe queste dimensioni si esprimono finalisticamente, attratte dall’Uno che opera in loro come potenza di armonizzazione e raccoglimento. L’Uno come “omnitudo realitatis” costituisce appunto il cardine della posizione di Martinetti sulla sopravvivenza dell'anima individuale dopo la morte: un raccoglimento che avviene in modo misterioso, perché trascende le capacità della mente umana, ma che avviene con certezza. “Questo solo sappiamo: che ciò che era degno di vivere, vivrà” .The article analyses the position of Martinetti (1872-1943) on the survival of the individual soul after death, as presented in his metaphysics and in the light of his main source of inspiration, identified in Plotino's philosophy.
Martinetti shows how the relationship between unity and multiplicity is present in man in two different and complementary perspectives: as a fundamental identity in the timeless dimension of the intelligible life of the spirit, and as a dynamic tension in the empirical order of space-time becoming. Both these dimensions are expressed finalistically, attracted by the One that works in them as a power of harmonization and recollection. The One as "Omnitudo Realitatis" is precisely the cornerstone of Martinetti's position on the survival of the individual soul after death: a recollection that takes place in a mysterious way, because it transcends the capacities of the human mind, but which happens with certainty. "We only know this: that what was worth living, will live"
