Hunting area affects chemical and physical characteristics and fatty acid composition of wild boar (Sus scrofa) meat
No full textWild boar populations have increased in the last few decades. The hunting will increase the availability of wild boar meat. the geographycal hunting area influenced the cooking loss percentage, dry matter and protein content. The major fatty acids in Longissimus thoracis muscle are oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic respectively
Annotazioni sull’amicizia. Bruti, animali fra Leibniz e Kant
No full textThe essay starts with an analysis of friendship and love for the other in Leibniz to
reflect on his youthful view of the animal (brute) as distinct from the person, closely
linked to the concept of justice and public law. The author then examines Kant’s position
on animality, benevolence and love by tracing the Leibnizian motifs
Digressione sui fenomeni di confine in Husserl
No full textThe essay clarifies the Husserlian concept of boundary by interpreting it as a
passage (Übergang) between different states and levels of consciousness. With particular attention
to Husserl’s late research manuscripts, the author investigates the meaning of biological
birth and death, dreamless sleep and original wakefulness, and the concept of the unconscious
itself, looking for their relation to different senses of temporalit
“Le promesse di J.R. Searle”
No full textnel saggio si esamina il concetto di "atti linguistici" in J. Searle, indagandone le fonti fenomenologiche. L'intento è valutare se dal concetto di 'significato' e dal suo legame con quello di comunicazione possa scaturire una correzione alla visione husserliana della teoria del significato legata alla nozione di evidenza.The author examines the theory of intentionality from the perspective of John Searle's "speech acts" in order to explore the meaning of language wich can be derived from his concept of "promise". The general purpose of the essay, however, is to evaluate the relevance of these notions in an intersubjective theory of language. The author wants to explore the problem of intersujectivity in Husserl's conception of "meaning" and the reasons why Husserl's concept of meaning is founded on "insight" and not on intersubjective communicatio
Big Tech and E-money Token
No full textCurrency, in all its forms, as an intermediate instrument of trade, has come into existence and continues to exist because of a living economy that needs it.
After describing the main arguments and characteristics of the new “monetary language” of cryptocurrency, the author analyses the new legal framework of e-money tokens in the light of the development of new forms of money and exchange, seeking to identify a point of contact between the legislator’s intention and the proliferation of new cryptographic resources within the new markets of Big Tech. The complex legal configuration of crypto-activities and their possible use as a means of payment forces the interpreter to consider the phenomenon in the light of private regulatory law and to deal with a reality that – whether it is positive or negative – is definitely not neutral
La critica filosofica incontra Lutero
No full textThe essay considers Lutheran theology from a critical-philosophical
point of view. Inspiration is drawn from the relationship between philosophy
and theology delineated by Leibniz in the Théodicée. The essay continues by
clarifying the essential nucleus of Lutheran theology: the insuperability of the
dialectic opposition between contraries. The author explores the centrality
of the dialectic of opposites to demonstrate how Lutheran theology can be
interpreted as an anthropology dominated by the negative. According to the
principle of the relationship between opposites, Luther’s negative anthropology
is capable of liberating the “Christian Prince” from the oligarchic exercise
of power. Lutheran theology is fruitful for a political anthropology that puts
concepts such as service, risk and dignity in the centre of its reflection
LA DIALETTICA DELLA GIUSTIFICAZIONE. LUTERO VERSUS LUTERO
No full textThe dialectic of justificat ion. Luther versus Luther. The essay considers Lutheran
theology from the perspective of the Enlightenment thinking. Inspiration is drawn from
the relationship between philosophy and religion sketched out by Leibniz in the Théodicée
and in some of his earlier writings. Examinations are made of the dispute between Leibniz
and Bayle and, in particular, of the relationship between the power/impotence of reason with
respect to faith. The essay continues by clarifying the essential nucleus of Lutheran theology:the insuperability of the dialectic opposition between contraries. The author explores the centrality
of the dialectic of opposites to demonstrate how Lutheran theology was inverted into
an anthropology dominated by the negative. To become a true Christian and to rise above sin,
man must repeat the process of self-emptying, the same undertaken by God to reveal himself
in Christ. Both the dynamic of divine revelation and that of human justification by Grace are
based on the notions of estrangement, self-alienation and that of “difference”, a constant in
the opposition between form/essence, wisdom/foolishness, passive/active, sin/elevation, external
strength/internal charity
The Impact of Organisational Factor on Negligence Offences in Italy
No full textConsistent interpretation is one of the main obligations related to the interpretation of national law in accordance with the acquis communitaire of the European Union. The main aspects of the principle of consistent interpretation will be highlighted in this article in order to analyze its application and its impact in a specific field, namely in the field of consumer credit. After examining the institution of consumer credit, with particular reference to early repayment, the Author analyses the challenges and difficulties in the application of the aforementioned principle in this matter. There will be some focus on the implementation of the Directive on credit agreements for consumers,1 with particular reference to the Italian legal system – taking into account the so called Lexitor case2 – which constitutes an interesting illustration of the necessarily binding effect of Court of Justice’s interpretation upon national courts
Edenic Animality, Feeding, Loving, and Dying: Corporal Biological Needs as Natural Historical Community by Kant
No full textThe author wants to emphasize the role of the Kantian concept of genesis, still not
sufficiently and attentively explored by scholars, who tackled it from the aesthetical
perspective as in the case of Gilles Deleuze (L'idée de genèse dans l'esthétique de
Kant, in «Revue d'esthétique» n.16, pp. 113-136). Differently from Deleuze, in the
paper the author investigates the historical-anthropological interpretation of the Old-
Testamentarian word “genesis”. Kant describes the passage of the human being from
edenic naturalness to the acknowledgment of herself and of the other as an end, thus
offering us the description of the process of formation of the historical-natural
community. By following the biblical “tale”, Kant begins from the fundamental corporal
biological needs of human beings (nutrition and sexual drive), describing then their
relationship with death and with the hope in the future so to finally get to the historical
being understood as a free communitarian being. The analysis of nutrition and sexual
drive, etc. wants to show a new side in Kant’s reflection about physiological and
pragmatic anthropology. Food, love, fear and hope are the indispensable passages for
the formation of the ethical and social life. Kant thus intertwines the genetic-natural
reflection with the educational purpose of pragmatic anthropology. Acting in community
is regulated by the concept of end (Zweck/ Zweckmaessigkeit) but the ethical-social
finality of the human being is the result of a long process of elaboration and education
of human instincts and needs
Buffalo meat quality, processing, and marketing: harnessing its benefits and nutraceutical potential
No full textBuffalo meat production is growing in different countries also because buffalo products exhibit some positive characteristics for human health compared to red meats from other species. However, meat quality is also defined by organoleptic aspects. This review aims to highlight the distinctive characteristics of buffalo meat. The principal problems of buffalo meat production are related to the low yield and an abundant layer of subcutaneous fat deposition when the animal is older than 14 months. This last trait, which may seem negative, allows us to carry out prolonged aging time (PAT) without compromising the shelf life and improving meat tenderness, one of the organoleptic characteristic’s consumers desires. Another organoleptic characteristic that guides consumer choice is color. This trait depends mainly on the amount and state of myoglobin, a species- specific sarcoplasmic heme protein, and buffalo presents a different molecule than beef. Furthermore, this bright red molecule in the oxidized state transforms into metmyoglobin or deoxy myoglobin in the absence of oxygen, giving a dark color to the meat, which consumers associate with poor quality from old animals. The presence or absence of oxygen shows advantages and disadvantages by acting on the one hand, on the bright meat color and, on the other, on the oxidation of lipids. The best compromise between the two situations is given by skin packaging, which preserves the meat in an anaerobic environment. Keeping the high nutritional quality over time is imperative to maintain the numerous nutritional properties of buffalo meat. In this regard, buffalo meat presents numerous distinctive characteristics among the different groups of fatty acids. Among the saturated one, the abundance of odd and branched fatty acids compared to the bovine breed should be highlighted; for the unsaturated ones, this meat is characterized by the abundance of biohydrogenation products by rumen bacteria such as trans vaccenic and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), best known for its anti- carcinogenic properties. In comparison, the endogenous pathway of fatty acid formation through the liver or adipose tissue allows us to enhance the elongation capacity of polyunsaturated n3 fatty acids, vital for human health as precursors of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Finally, buffalo meat is an essential source of N- acetylneuraminic sialic acid (Neu5Ac), a nine-carbon molecule located in the terminal ends of glyco-proteins and glycolipids, an essential nutrient for brain development and function. This molecule can also counteract the intestinal absorption of N-glycolyl sialic acid (Neu5Gc) exogenous for humans, abundant in red meat, with high inflammatory action. In addition to being marketed as fresh meat, Buffalo meat can also be transformed into semi-processed or cured products with peculiar characteristics. Lean products could be well integrated into the modern diet, with clear advantages to consumers and breeders. The nutritional and technological potential of buffalo meat is considerable, and it is necessary to communicate this to the consumer, creating an efficient and dynamic market for buffalo meat-based products
