Il paradigma perturbante della differenza sessuale. Una filosofia femminista
No full textTraduzione dal francese di alcuni saggi di F. Duroux accompagnato, scritti tra il 1983 e il 2005. Leggere delle questioni cui la sua scrittura risponde, dei problemi che la filosofia si è posta nel dipanarsi del tempo e delle occasioni d'attualità per le quali ha sentito l'urgenza di esporsi nella dimensione del dibattito pubblico è come seguire un'autobiografia di pensiero vivente. Molte le tematiche trattate: dalla scommessa problematica della differenza sessuale alla critica al concetto di genere; dalle forme della politica delle donne alle questioni che riguardano la legge. Nodi scoperti e brucianti per il femminismo, legati insieme da una sottostante critica al neo liberalismo di matrice maschile e da una lettura della realtà in chiave psicoanalitica

Genetic abnormalities in pancreatic cancer
No full textAbstract The incidence and mortality of pancreatic adenocarcinoma are nearly coincident having a five-year survival of less than 5%. Enormous advances have been made in our knowledge of the molecular alterations commonly present in ductal cancer and other pancreatic malignancies. One significant outcome of these studies is the recognition that common ductal cancers have a distinct molecular fingerprint compared to other nonductal or endocrine tumors. Ductal carcinomas typically show alteration of K-ras, p53, p16INK4, DPC4 and FHIT, while other pancreatic tumor types show different aberrations. Among those tumors arising from the exocrine pancreas, only ampullary cancers have a molecular fingerprint that may involve some of the same genes most frequently altered in common ductal cancers. Significant molecular heterogeneity also exists among pancreatic endocrine tumors. Nonfunctioning pancreatic endocrine tumors have frequent mutations in MEN-1 and may be further subdivided into two clinically relevant subgroups based on the amount of chromosomal alterations. The present review will provide a brief overview of the genetic alterations that have been identified in the various subgroups of pancreatic tumors. These results have important implications for the development of genetic screening tests, early diagnosis, and prognostic genetic markers.</p
Root physiological and transcriptional response to single and combined S and Fe deficiency in durum wheat
No full textA number of connections and insights are emerging regarding the molecular and physiological basis of Fe and S interplay response of combined Fe and S starvation of durum wheat roots are here presented. Microarray analysis revealed that 128 transcripts were commonly modulated by both single and combined deficiencies, thus representing the “core” set of transcripts involved in the responses both to S and Fe shortage, whereas a total of 509 transcripts were modulated only by the simultaneous deficiency of S and Fe. Interestingly, among these latter, most of the genes of nitrate uptake and assimilation were down-regulated, while those involved into ammonium uptake were up-regulated as confirmed by the decrease in nitrate reductase enzyme activity. Transcripts playing a role into phosphate uptake were down-regulated in agreement with the observed lower P accumulation in roots. Combined deficiency mainly up-regulated transcripts involved with oxidative stress response although the related enzyme activities did not appear to differ significantly. Results allowed the identification of transcripts that are specific as well as those that are shared among single and combined deficiency responses, thus providing a starting point for detailed studies on candidate genes to improve the understanding of the molecular basis of nutrient acquisition

A Human Rights Approach to Environmental Health
No full textThis chapter explores the interface between health and the environment through the human rights prism, focusing on the environmental dimension of the right to health and on the now widely recognized right to a healthy, safe and clean environment. To this end, the chapter intends to offers a comprehensive analysis of the relevant provisions contained in human rights treaties and the obligations stemming therefrom. The review of these legal sources is completed by a critical assessment of the case law produced by regional human rights bodies and their evolutive interpretation of individual rights and corresponding State obligations in this field, with a special focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The aim of this legal analysis is to evaluate the added value of a human rights approach to environmental health litigation, with a view to best achieving the overarching goal of public health protection from environmental harm. The author highlights that human rights can be used in court as effective tools to protect public health against the adverse effects of environmental degradation and severe pollution. She also stresses that the potential of human rights bodies in the field of environmental health is yet fully unexpressed, but further positive developments towards the protection of collective and intergenerational rights related to the environment and human health can be achieved thanks to the dynamic and evolutive approach adopted by these bodies and through the virtuous circle created by judicial cross-fertilization
A Multitude of Women: The Challenges of the Contemporary Italian Novel
No full textA Multitude of Women looks at the ways in which both Italian literary tradition and external influences have assisted Italian women writers in rethinking the theoretical and aesthetic ties between author, text, and readership in the construction of the novel. Stefania Lucamante discusses the valuable contributions that Italian women writers have made to the contemporary novel and illustrates the relevance of the novelistic examples set by their predecessors. She addresses various discursive communities, reading works by Di Lascia, Ferrante, Vinci, and others with reference to intertextuality and the theories of Elsa Morante and Simone de Beauvoir.
This study identifies a positive deviation from literary and ideological orthodoxy, a deviation that helps give meaning to the Italian novel and to transform the traditional notion of the canon in Italian literature. Lucamante argues that this is partly due to the merits of women writers and their ability to eschew obsolete patterns in narrative while favoring forms that are more attuned to the ever-changing needs of society. She shows that contemporary novels by women authors mirror a shift from previous trends in which the need for female emancipation interfered with the actual literary and aesthetic significance of the novel. A Multitude of Women offers a new epistemology of the novel and will appeal to those interested in women's writing, readership, Italian studies, and literary studies in general
Stefania Poznanska (1923-2010) : a teacher, nursing tutor
No full textStefania Poznańska, PhD, was one of five managers of the school, which informal name was Cracow School of Nurses. The School was
founded on 5 November 1911 under the name of School of Professional Nursing, also called the "old Cracow school". Its successor i.e. the
University School of Nurses and Health Carers later Hygienists was opened on 10 December 1925. The abovementioned term also refers to
the following nursing schools: University School of Nursing and Midwifery (1946-1951), Public School of Nursing and Midwifery (1949-1951), Public School Of Nursing (1950-1964), Public Medical School of Nursing (1964-1971), Department of Nursing of the Medical Vocational
College No 1 (1971-1981), and Anna Rydlówna Department of Nursing of the Medical Vocational College No 1 (1982-2001). The
school was localised in Cracow, 25 Kopernika St. until 1975, and then was moved to a new location - 12 Michałowskiego St. The aim of the study was the recollection of Stefania Poznańska, PhD, a nurse, teacher, tutor of nursing, author of multiple research studies
and publications, a person dedicated to the development of modern nursing, and last but not least, a great fiend.
The study material is based on a review of personal notes and archive materials gathered by the Institute of Nursing and Midwifery,
Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical Collage, Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Also, personal recollections of multiple encounters
with Stefania Poznańska were taken into account. A biography-historical method as well as the review of documents were applied by
the authors. A significant contribution of Stefania Poznańska to the development of modern nursing must be emphasized. This contribution included her
work for the Programme Committee in Cracow for nursing education curriculum at university level as well as specific detailed programs regarding nursing history and ethical issues in nursing care, and the publication of a series of articles on new concept for teaching nursing
profession. Stefania Poznańska was a person open to another human being
