Dynamis, the Object of a Philosophical Medicine: An Epistemological Analysis of the Treatise On Ancient Medicine
No full textIn this study, we propose to analyze the concept of dynamis in the treatise On Ancient Medicine that is part of the Corpus Hippocraticum. We will study it inasmuch as it constitutes a core concept on which a particular epistemological relationship between philosophy and medicine is resolved. There is an extensive hermeneutical tradition that presents this writing as the birth of a scientific medicine detached from all kinds of philosophical reflection. For the author of the letter would seem to behave like an empiricist who seeks as a doctor to get radically rid of philosophy or, at least, that ancient medicine that founds his medical practice in the philosophical theory of the elements. However, despite the partial success of this interpretive tradition, we believe that it runs the risk of offering a fragmentary and incomplete reading of the new epistemological statute that the author seeks to assign to medicine. In our opinion, the author, far from trying to expel the philosophy of practice and medical research, integrates it into a new model of scientific explanation.Fil: Gargiulo, María Teresa.

Per un profilo dell'anonimo autore dell'Athenaion Politeia pseudo-senofontea
No full textThis paper examines and discusses a number of relevant passages of the Pseudo-Xenophontic Constitution of the Athenians in order to outline a profile of its author that turns out to be slightly different from the one usually envisaged by scholars. In all likehood this person was an Athenian citizen and a shipowner, who was not so opposed to Athen's seapower as much as he was hostile to Athenian democracy. Especially important is Athenaion Politeia III 12-13 because, when he states that the atimoi in Athens are few, he is tacitly admitting that the democratic government is not guilty of wickedly abusing the political instrument of atimia against oligarchs, and this is as well an argument in favour of a not too late date of composition
Immunohistochemical and immunochemical characterization of the distribution of leptin-like proteins in the gastroenteric tract of two teleosts (Dicentrarchus labrax and Carassius auratus L.) with different feeding habits.

No full textIn this study we have clearly demonstrated that ghrelin producing cells exist in the
chicken gastrointestinal tract. The distribution pattern and morphological character-
istics of ghrelin-ic suggest that they correspond to endocrine type cells. However,
further investigations are required in order to identify the specific cell types according
to the current classification (Solcia et al., 2000). In the frog stomach ghrelin endocrine
cells have been observed in the mucosa and in pit-associated glands (Galas et al.,
2002). In the rat and human stomach ghrelin-producing endocrine cells have been
identified as X/A like cells of the oxyntic mucosa (Kojima et al., 1999; Date et al.,
2000). These results indicate that chicken ghrelin is also evolutionally conserved both
in its distribution and in its aminoacidic sequence

No full textHouseholds’ willingness to pay in good and bad economy. The case study of Naples
No full textThere is no debate that the 2008/09 economic crisis has severely affected housing market in Italy at national, regional and city level and Naples has been one of the most hit cities of the country. Indeed, data from the Italian Revenue Agency show that between 2006 and 2014 the normalized transactions number of housing units in Naples has extraordinarily decreased, going from over 9000 to less than 6000, and the same has occurred to the average house price that experienced the fiercest fall between 2009 and 2010 (-24%). In this context, the paper aims to measure the impacts of the 2008/09 economic crisis on the housing market of the city of Naples using the hedonic price approach. The application of this method allows estimating the price of significant housing characteristics, whose relationship with housing price can be expressed as follows (Wen et al. 2005): = () The goal is to understand how homebuyers’ preference for specific housing characteristics has changed between 2008 and 2015 in order to identify (1) those features which have maintained their relevance before and after the crisis, (2) those which were considered significant during good economy but not during bad economy, and finally (3) those which become of interest for homebuyers only when the market was declining.Our case study is the city of Naples, whose housing market has suffered great negative consequences due to the economic crisis, as previously described. We have identified a sample of 60 proprieties sold in 2008 and 123 proprieties sold in 2015 distributed over the entire municipal territory, and for each of them we have collected data about nine housing characteristics. Then, we have used a hedonic price method (OLS) to establish which housing characteristics were significant in determining propriety values in 2008 and 2015 (Corsini 2009), and we have compared the two results obtaining two main findings: the Neapolitan residential real estate has substantially changed during the seven years of reference; homebuyers have partially changed their preference for the considered housing characterizes. The paper is structured as follows: paragraph 2 includes the description of the methodological steps followed in this research, from data collection to the application of the hedonic price method (HPM); in paragraph 3 we describe and comment the results obtained using HPV both at 2008 and 2015; in paragraph 4 we provide some concluding remarks and we propose possible further research

Complementary web-based geoinformation technology to Geodesign practices
No full textThe teaching of territorial planning requires students be trained in geo-information technology tools. The practice was held on engineering course in the University of Bologna and intended to train students in the use of geodesign methods to co-create alternative futures proposals for a territory by applying the framework proposed by Steinitz and using the GeodesignHub web-based platform. The method assumes the construction of representative and evaluative models about the place before the workshop stage, when users are put in contact with data already produced. In order to avoid misunderstanding, noises and encouraging active participation during the workshop, sharing-decision mechanisms using web-based geo-information technology tools were tried, adjusted for the expressive capacity of young millennia in the use of digital social media. As methods, we explored the possibilities of Crowdsourcing Mapping to gather information about main characteristics of the area, WebGis to share georeferenced maps and favor combinations of variables, Delphi method to maximize consensus, Geo-questionnaires for territory evaluation, Word Cloud and Hashtags for ontologies association of design ideas. The case study was Faenza, in Emilia-Romagna, since we had access to VAS data and assessments for the region. As a result, the interest and quality of participation in the co-creation workshop for the area was significantly increased and it was possible to observe the easiness of understanding the processes, due to the improvements applied in language visualization, so that the experience favored the development of knowledge and skills
