Nicola Andria et les origines de la psychiatrie moderne Une contribution historiographique
No full textFrFrancesco Nicola Maria Andria (Massafra – 1747; Naples – 1814), auteur malheureusement presque complètement inconnu aujourd’hui, déploya son activité de professeur à l’Université de Naples, occupant divers enseignements: Histoire Naturelle, Médecine Théorique et Pratique, Pathologie, Agriculture. Il publie des oeuvres appréciées et examinées dans diverses parties d’Europe. En Andria, recherche et didactique s’inscrit dans un seul projet de re-fondation de la science médicale, que le «philosophe de Parthénope» méditait dès le commencement: former la nouvelle génération des médecins philosophes était partie intégrant de ce plan ambitieux. Nous avons besoin d’une médicine qui soit philosophique en combinant les résultats des recherches dans les domaines des différentes disciplines dont elle se sert, à orienter les efforts vers un but unique: l’homme est «l’oeuvre la plus merveilleuse de la main de l’Omnipotent», «convertie en une machine matérielle», principalement par le réductionnisme mécaniste. C’est pourquoi, si le but de la science est celui de protéger l’homme (voici la grande nouveauté de Andria), objectif principal semble être la pratique d’une médicine ni chimique, ni mécanique, mais d’une médicine “à l’èchelle humaine”, morale dans le traitement de ces patients qui souffrent de troubles mentaux. En Andria, la pathogénie de ces troubles est certainement organique, mais peut aussi s’enraciner dans des raisons psycho-émotionnelles. Il devient, donc, promoteur d’une thérapie morale comme moderne psychothérapie. Il insiste sur les avantages que la “médicine gentille” peut ammener aux patients, dont «aliénations mentales» peuvent être traitées avec methodus, à partir de ceux qu’on appellerait aujourd’hui les données anamnestiques; c’est à dire les souvenirs, principalement de l’enfance et des relations familiales, ainsi que les relations scolaires dans l’enfant.EnFrancesco Nicola Maria Andria (Massafra – 1747; Naples – 1814), author unfortunatelyalmost unknown nowadays, carried out his activity of teacher at the University of Naples, holding various subject: Natural History, Theoretical and Practical Medicine, Pathology, Agriculture. He published works, which were appreciated and reviewed in different parts of Europe. In Andria, investigation and teaching are inscribed in a unique project of medical science re-foundation, which the «philosopher of Partenope» meditated from the beginning: forming the new generation of medical philosophers was an integral part of this ambitious plan. It’s needed a medicine which is philosophical in combining the results of investigations in the areas of the several disciplines he uses, in addressing the efforts towards a unique end: the man is «the most wonderful Work from the hand of the Almighty», «converted in a material machine», mainly by the mechanistic reductionism. So that, if the aim of science is to protect the man (here stands the great Andria’s innovation), the main aim appears to be the practice of a medicine neither chemical nor mechanical, but a medicine “on a human scale”, moral in treating those patients suffering from mental disorders. In Andria, the pathogenesis of such disorders is certainly organic, but may also be rooted in psycho-emotional reasons. Hence, he becomes the promoter of a moral therapy as a modern psychotherapy. He insists on the advantages that the “kind medicine” may bring to patients, whose «mental alienations» can be treated with methodus, starting from those we would define today as anamnestic data, the memories, mainly of childhood and family relationships, besides the school relationships in the child.ItFrancesco Nicola Maria Andria (Massafra – 1747; Napoli – 1814), autore purtroppo oggi quasi del tutto sconosciuto, svolse la sua attività di cattedratico presso l’Università di Napoli, ricoprendo vari insegnamenti: Storia Naturale, Medicina Teoretica e Pratica, Patologia, Agricoltura. Pubblicò opere apprezzate e recensite in varie parti d’Europa. In Andria, ricerca e didattica s’inscrivono in un unico progetto di ri-fondazione della scienza medica, che il «filosofo di Partenope» meditò fin dall’inizio: formare la nuova generazione dei medici filosofi era parte integrante di questo ambizioso disegno. Occorre una medicina che sia filosofica nel coniugare i risultati delle ricerche negli ambiti delle varie discipline di cui si serve, nel dirigere gli sforzi verso un fine unico: l’uomo è «l’Opera più stupenda della mano dell’Onnipotente», «convertita in una macchina materiale», principalmente dal riduzionismo meccanicistico. Ragion per cui, se scopo della scienza è tutelare l’uomo (qui è la grande novità dell’Andria), obiettivo primario risulta essere la pratica di una medicina né chimica, né meccanica, ma di una medicina “a misura d’uomo”, morale nel curare quei pazienti che soffrono di disturbi mentali. In Andria, la patogenesi di questi disturbi è certamente di carattere organico, ma può altresì radicarsi in ragioni psicoemotive. Egli si fa quindi promotore di una terapia morale quale moderna psicoterapia. Insiste sui vantaggi che la “medicina gentile” può recare ai pazienti, le cui «alienazioni mentali» sono curabili con methodus, a partire da quelli che oggi diremmo i dati anamnestici e cioè i ricordi, principalmente dell’infanzia e delle relazioni familiari, oltreché nel bambino di quelle scolastiche
Rapid room-temperature synthesis of biocompatible metal-organic framework for enzyme immobilization with improved stability and on-demand release
No full textEnzyme immobilization within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) addresses the inherent fragility of enzymes, playing a crucial role across diverse industries by improving efficiency and lowering economic costs. While the application of MOFs in the food and pharmaceutical industries is constrained by toxicity concerns, MIL-88A(Fe) emerges as an ideal candidate due to its non-toxicity and biocompatibility. However, the release of encapsulated enzymes is significantly hampered, reducing their bioactivity. Herein, we present a safe and simple platform for creating enzyme@MIL-88A, which provides enzyme stabilization and controlled release. The thermal stabilization of a spectrum of enzymes (phytase, xylanase, amylase, mannanase, and glucanase) is achieved, elevating their endurance threshold to 95 ◦C. Furthermore, the controlled on-demand release of the encapsulated enzymes at target sites is accomplished by adjusting defects in enzyme@MIL-88A composites via an acid modulation approach, while preserving enzyme activity. This approach has improved the amount of enzyme released from 10 % to 99.7 %. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time enzyme@MIL-88A has been synthesized rapidly under mild conditions for enzyme stabilization and controlled release. Our method offers a universal platform for stabilizing vulnerable biomaterials and the controlled delivery of biological macromolecules.Yilun Weng, Penghui Yan, Baode Sun, Andria Wan, Jiakang You, Xin Xu, Zeyu Lu, Glen A.

Bodies of Antithesis: Gender power relations in conflict and militarized environments
No full textThe thesis aims to unveil and challenge institutionalized gender hierarchical relations between the military and women in conflict environments. It critically examines the military as an institution inherently intertwined with conflict in periods of war and during periods of conflict. The thesis argues that the military plays a significant role in shaping and maintaining gender power structures, through institutional perceptions and spatial practices. It explores the relationship between the military and women and how institutionalized gender perceptions contribute to the widening gap between them, using Cyprus as a case study. Through the use of visual ethnography as a primary methodology, the thesis seeks to shed light and challenge the oppressive prescript narratives and power dynamics imposed on women by the military.Using Nicosia and Pyla as a case study, conflict environments where inhabitants have normalized the experiences of living with the constant presence of the military, the thesis spatializes its theoretical framework. It utilizes tools and insights gained from theoretical and artistic analyses, to make visible and challenge the gender institutional perceptions, fixed gender roles, and spatialities that feed gender hierarchical structures. The ultimate goal is to expose this issue in various existing and ongoing conflict environments. Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

The World Bank Inspection Panel and Quasi-Judicial Oversight: In Search of the 'Judicial Spirit' in Public International Law
No full textThis PhD dissertation conceptualizes the World Bank Inspection Panel as a mechanism of quasi-judicial review or oversight, aimed at enhancing the accountability and legitimacy of the World Bank –
which is conceived as an international institution exercising public power. The author engages
in comparative constitutional law analysis, looking towards three non-international constitutional
systems (the United States, European Union, and post-Apartheid South Africa) to construct a
‘conceptual model of judicial oversight’ that refl ects the concept’s ‘nature’, ‘effect’, and ‘dynamics’.
The author employs this Model to analyze the institutional history and practice of the World Bank
Inspection Panel, covering the Panel’s entire institutional lifespan to date. The author concludes
that the nature, effect and dynamics of judicial oversight – indeed, the ‘judicial spirit’ – are more
alive in this area of public international law than what might be expected
IS VIDEO SURVEILLANCE GOING TOO FAR?
No full textDon\u27t think you are being watched? Think again. Everyday new types of video surveillance are being implemented. Among the newest uses are cameras mounted on school buses to catch those who do not stop and cameras installed on the outside of buildings in high crime areas. Professor John Neiman says there is no definitive solution from the courts as to when surveillance constitutes an invasion of privacy. To read the complete story, see the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Peace Education through Sport: Critical Pedagogy for Conflict Literacy
No full textM.A.This thesis presents the findings and analysis of an empirical research project on peace education through sport. The data set is made up of expert interviews with scholars, practitioners, and coaches and supplemented by ethnographic records about youth sport programs collected by the author in the Federal Republic of Germany between May and August of 2011. Part of a global mapping project on sport and peace, the research investigated what approaches and methods select sport programs for youth in Germany consider most effective for peace education. A grounded theory approach (Charmaz, 2011) was used to code, categorize, and analyze the data, and simultaneous desk research in critical pedagogy and anti-extremist education was conducted through the constant comparative (Creswell, 2007) research method. It is argued that critical literacy provides a terminology by which sport and peace initiatives might express their theories of change. A new concept is presented as one explanation for peace education through sport: critical conflict literacy. The research analysis is supported with excerpts from the raw data and the concept is contextualized within Germany's security climate. Based on Galtung's theory of violence and peace, the thesis asserts that critical conflict literacy is one method for addressing violence (specifically, direct violence in extremism) in Germany. Implications for the current European security environment conclude the thesis.Keywords: Anti-Extremist Education, Conflict Resolution, Critical Literacy, Critical Pedagogy, European Union, Experiential Education, Extremism, Germany, Integration, Peacebuilding, Peace Education, Pedagogy, Multiculturalism, Sport for All, Sport for Peace and Development, Sport for Social Change, Terrorism, Youth and Violenc
