Severo Alessandro e la responsabilità del governante: P. Fayum 20 e altri testi a confronto
No full textL’analisi dell’editto trasmesso dal P. Fay. 20, con cui Severo Alessandro rimetteva il pagamento dell’aurum coronarium all’inizio del suo impero, e il confronto con altre testimonianze documentanti l’attività amministrativa imperiale evidenziano un comune denominatore, frutto delle scelte dei giuristi che collaboravano con l’imperatore, sul piano della comunicazione e della ricerca del consenso. In tutta questa documentazione virtù etiche inerenti alla sfera della philanthropia, in tutte le sue declinazioni, incarnano la responsabilità di chi governa in un’epoca di crisi e segnano la distanza dai predecessori
A imagem de Alessandro Baricco no Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here
Il potere imperiale nella cultura pagana e cristiana sotto Severo Alessandro
No full textAttraverso Cassio Dione, Erodiano, l’Historia Augusta (in particolare Alexander Severus Aeli Lampridi), e varie altre fonti (non solo letterarie), la ricerca tratta la paideia di Severo Alessandro e il disegno politico del suo avvento (con il ruolo importante della soggettività femminile, cioè di Mesa e Mamea); il suo rapporto con gli intellettuali (mecenatismo), con le opere di Filostrato (Apollonio di Tiana, Eroico, Ginnastica), con le religioni e segnatamente con il cristianesimo (Origene, Giulio Africano); il Consilium principis, gli atti di governo, i rescripta e le constitutiones utili a illuminare i problemi trattati. L’idea centrale è una caratterizzazione culturale della politica di Severo Alessandro, tra continuità e prefigurazione di futuri sviluppi.By Dio Cassius, Herodianus, Historia Augusta (particularly Alexander Severus Aeli Lampridi), and other various sources (not only literary), the work discusses Severus Alexander’s paiediaa and the political design of his accession (with the leading role of the feminine subjectivity, i. e. of Maesa and Mamea); his relationship with intellectuals (patronage), with Philostratus’ outputs (Apollonius of Tyana, Heroicus, Gymnasticus), with religions and segnally with Christianity (Origenes, Iulius Africanus); the Consilium principis, the government acts, the rescripta and the constitutiones illuminating the treated problems. The research focuses on a cultural foundation of Severus Alexander’s politics, between continuity and prefiguration of future developments
La maturità di Alessandro Fei del Barbiere, in bilico tra Maniera e Riforma
No full textThis article studies the mature career of the Florentine painter Alessandro Fei del Barbiere (1537-1592), beginning with the rediscovery of the 'Ascension' altarpiece formerly in the Albizi Chapel in the destroyed church of San Pier Maggiore, Florence. Studying this painting and others recorded in 1584 by the biographer Raffaello Borghini, such as the two altarpieces for Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Madonna dell'Umiltà in Pistoia, the author reconstructs a body of works showing how in the 1580s Fei gradually went beyond the archaic style of his apprenticeship - he had been trained by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio and Pierfrancesco Foschi, but was also marked by the Maniera of Vasari - evolving towards naturalism in both mimesis and pictorial handling. In Florence, his development partly parallels that of Santi di Tito and his circle, but Fei was also influenced by a probable sojourn during the early part of that decade in Rome, where he could have been inspired by Girolamo Muziano and the painters working for Pope Gregory XIII. Among other proposals, the author suggests that the artist was responsible for decorating the chancel of Fiesole Cathedral (c. 1584-1589), which consisted of an altarpiece, only rarely discussed by scholars, and a cycle of frescoes hitherto attributed to Nicodemo Ferrucci

Novel therapeutic clues in thyroid carcinomas: The role of targeting cancer stem cells
No full textThyroid carcinomas (TCs), the most common endocrine tumors, represent the eighth most common cancer diagnosed worldwide in both women and men. To treat these malignancies, several drugs are now available and a number of novel ones have been enrolling in clinical trials, addressing both oncogenic pathways in cancer cells and angiogenic pathways in tumor endothelial cells. However, their use is not devoid of serious toxicities and their efficacy is limited, being dependent on carcinoma typology and the occurrence of acquired resistance. Accordingly, it is time to recast therapeutic strategies against these types of tumors to get to newer and fully effective drugs. In this perspective, latest findings demonstrate that cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a challenging target to strike. They possess core traits of self-renewal and differentiation, being resistant to the effects of chemotherapy and radiation and playing a key role in mediating metastasis. Therefore, basic molecular elements sustaining both development of thyroid cancer stem cells and their residence in the stemness condition represent a set of innovative and still unexplored targets to address. In this review, a thorough literature survey has been accomplished, to take stock of mechanisms governing thyroid carcinomas and to point out both their currently available treatments and the novel forthcoming ones. Pubmed, Scifinder and ClinicalTrials.gov were exploited as research applications and registry database, respectively. Original articles, reviews, and editorials published within the last ten years, as well as open clinical investigations in the field, were analyzed to suggest new exciting therapeutic opportunities for people affected by TCs

years of Alessandro Natta’s secretariat (1984-1988) through largely original archival documentation,
from the Alessandro Natta Fonds of the Historical Archive of the Chamber of
Deputies. Natta’s papers are also cross-referenced with those kept in the PCI Archive at the
Gramsci Foundation. The author analyses the relationship that the PCI establishes with
Gorbachev’s Perestroika, Deng’s China, and European social democracies during the last
years of the Cold War
Tuning the properties of graphene oxide by chemical functionalization
No full textGraphene oxide (GO) has attracted rising interest since the discovery of the wet chemical route to graphene. GO is a non-stoichiometric, bi-dimensional carbon nanomaterial composed of a graphitic sheet decorated with various oxygen functional groups (OFGs). It is easily produced in large quantities and of good quality by wet-chemical oxidation and exfoliation of bulk graphite. Amongst the most, Hummers’ method is the most widely employed synthetic approach. The GO produced by these means is rich in OFGs such as islands of epoxides and hydroxyls in the basal plane and carbonyls, phenols, and carboxyl-groups on the edges and in the defects1. The coexistence of these groups makes GO prone to chemical functionalization through a plethora of synthetic pathways and to a wide range of electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the presence of graphitic domains enables non-covalent functionalization through dispersive interactions such as π- π stacking. Additionally, GO and GO-based materials can be reduced by both electrochemical and chemical means to restore the π-delocalized network obtaining a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with similar properties to pristine graphene. Therefore, due to its quivering chemistry, graphene oxide can be regarded as a perfect starting point for the design of graphene-based functional materials2.
This work aims to obtain graphene-based materials e.g. carboxyl-rich GO (GO-COOH) and reduced graphene oxide through different reaction approaches on previously synthesized GO. Respectively, these functionalized materials are obtained by exploiting O-acylation with succinic anhydride and reduction reaction with ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate3. Furthermore, it will be explored the electrochemical reduction and concurrent deposition of GO and GO-based nanomaterials on different substrates. The materials obtained are characterized, step-by-step, by spectroscopy means e.g. XPS, Raman, and UV-Vis spectroscopies.
