No full textThe Michaelic cult, originally from Asia Minor, landed in the West following the Greek-Gothic war and the Byzantine conquest of southern Italy. The first theophanic sanctuary linked to the Archangel was born in Apulia, in Monte Sant'Angelo, in the 5th century AD. Following the conquest of the Gargano by the Lombards, the veneration of the Archangel spread to all the territories they occupied, in particular in the so-called Langobardia Minor. Between the 8th and 9th centuries southern Italy - and, more specifically, Molise and Campania - was affected by a widespread diffusion of sanctuaries connected to the Michaelic cult. In fact only 34 of the attested rupestrian churches in Campania have a cultic structures or preserve the title to the Archangel in the toponymic indication. Particularly affected by this phenomenon are the Alburni Mountains and the Tanagro Valley. The Michaelic cult in the ancient Vallis Rationis is characterised by being permeated by a strong duality, which manifests itself in the tradition of a double typology of foundation: Byzantine and Lombard. Actually, within such a circumscribed and peripheral territory, which has always been a melting pot of peoples and cultures thanks to its strategic position, the devotion to the Archangel Michael takes on peculiar characteristics, witnessing itself as the product of the coexistence of different communities, uses and customs, source of new traditions and new forms of worship. Therefore, the Archangel venerated in the Tanagro Valley presents, at the same time, the characteristics of the Byzantine physician and of the Lombard difensor dei. So the Michaelic cult is substantiated in a perfect fusion - not without strong elements of originality - of the two "canonical" traditions. This fusion is manifested by the rurality of the territory in which the cult is established, thanks to the distance from the main urban centres of the region and the dogmatic conformity of their cultic expressions
Papaleo F., La frequentazione della cavità in età medievale, in Larocca F. (a cura di), “Tra Pietra e Acqua: Archeologia delle Grotte di Pertosa-Auletta. Studi e ricerche 2004-2016”., Bari 2017, pp. 154-167
No full textL’esplorazione della cavità ha portato alla luce un contesto unico nel suo genere che ha arricchito, sin dalle prime esplorazioni, le conoscenze sulla frequentazione umana della grotta in età preistorica e classica. Nonostante l’esiguità di evidenze materiali, tale frequentazione si estese anche per tutto l’arco del Medioevo, durante il quale la grotta acquisì l’intitolazione all’Arcangelo Michele, prendendo il nome di Crypta Sancti Angeli . A causa dell’esiguità dei manufatti ceramici e dell’assenza di strutture in alzato, “l’esplorazione” della grotta medievale è stata effettuata mediante un’attenta analisi dei fondi pergamenacei e delle fonti bibliografiche ottocentesche relativi all’antico pagus di Pertusia e alla sua Spelunca . In particolare le ricerche si sono concentrate presso la Biblioteca della Badia di Cava de’ Tirreni, gli Archivi di Stato di Napoli e Salerno, le biblioteche e gli archivi comunali e parrocchiali di Caggiano, Polla e Sala Consilina. L’analisi delle fonti ha permesso di ricostruire la storia economico-religiosa delle Grotte di Pertosa tra l’XI e il XIV secolo. Dal punto di vista economico, la cavità si presenta, pertanto, come il centro propulsore dell’economia rurale dell’antica Pertosa e della sua comunità monastica, divenendo parte di svariate donazioni fatte da privati a favore dei Benedettini di Cava de’ Tirreni. La sua frequentazione, inoltre, si caratterizza per avere una forte componente religiosa, che si manifesta in questo periodo nell’erezione dell’ara di San Michele e nella trasformazione della grotta in meta di pellegrinaggio. Appare evidente una forte continuità cultuale, che rende questa cavità fondamentale per la comprensione del passaggio dai culti pagani al culto micaelico

No full textThe Archeological Museum situated inside the monumental Chartusia of San Lorenzo, in Padula (SA) is an important institution and its exposition provides essential information about the history of a whole area: the Vallo di Diano. Because of its important frame, this little Museum sees its entries depending on those of the Chartusia. This work intends to propose innovative solutions to refresh the image of the MAPLO, thanks to the help of ICT and the use of multimedial content in free sharing
Acute administration of Urb597 fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor prevents attentional impairments by distractors in adolescent mice
Full text linkThe maturation of attentional control during adolescence might influence later functional outcome or predisposition to psychiatric disorders. During adolescence, the cannabinoid system is particularly sensitive to pharmacological challenges, with potential impact on cognitive functions. Here, we used a recently validated five-choice serial reaction time task protocol to test adolescent C57BL/6J mice. We showed that the pharmacological inhibition (by URB597) of the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the major enzyme implicated in anandamide degradation, prevented cognitive disruptions induced by distracting cues in adolescent mice. In particular, these protective effects were indicated by increased accuracy and correct responses and decreased premature responses selectively in the distractor trials. Notably, at the relatively low dose used, we detected no effects in other cognitive, motor, or incentive measures nor long-lasting or rebound effects of FAAH inhibition in cognitive functions. Overall, these data provide initial evidence of selective procognitive effects of FAAH inhibition in measures of attentional control in adolescent mice
Enhancing cognition through pharmacological and environmental interventions: Examples from preclinical models of neurodevelopmental disorders
Full text linkIn this review we discuss the role of environmental and pharmacological treatments to enhance cognition with special regards to neurodevelopmental related disorders and aging. How the environment influences brain structure and function, and the interactions between rearing conditions and gene expression, are fundamental questions that are still poorly understood. We propose a model that can explain some of the discrepancies in findings for effects of environmental enrichment on outcome measures. Evidence of a direct causal correlation of nootropics and treatments that enhanced cognition also will be presented, and possible molecular mechanisms that include neurotrophin signaling and downstream pathways underlying these processes are discussed. Finally we review recent findings achieved with a wide set of behavioral and cognitive tasks that have translational validity to humans, and should be useful for future work on devising appropriate therapies. As will be discussed, the collective findings suggest that a combinational therapeutic approach of environmental enrichment and nootropics could be particularly successful for improving learning and memory in both developmental disorders and normal aging
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
