L'Economista Anglofilo. Paolo Balsamo e l'utopia liberale in Sicilia (1787-1816)
2023
Paolo Balsamo -economist and professor of University of Palermo from 1787 to 1812- was a traveller and expert in the most advanced and modern British and European agriculture. He wrote articles and essays, both in English and Italian, on agriculture and political economy and was a correspondent of important cultural and political circles of British Whiggism. As a member of the Sicilian Parliament, ideologist of the constitutional party and trusted collaborator of Lord Bentinck, he wrote the Sicilian Constitution of 1812 which reformed the old institution of the Kingdom of Sicily transforming it into a liberal State. This monography explores Balsamo's intellectual and political figure throug…
Paolo Balsamo, Smithianism and the Birth of Liberalism in Sicily
2020
The article focuses on the transition process of Sicily, between the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, from the Ancien Regime to a modern society, underlining the intellectual and political role of the Sicilian economist Paolo Balsamo. The professor of Agriculture and Economics at University of Palermo founded the Sicilian liberalism on Adam Smith’s works and tried to reform the institutions of the island aiming to make them the model of a Smithian nation. The article analyses Balsamo’s work by highlighting the interlacement of culture, social interests and political emergencies, all of which had an effect on how Smithianism was adopted in Sicily.
La "società commerciale" e il tema della corruzione nel dibattito del XVIII secolo.
2018
La tradizione repubblicana, a partire da Machiavelli, pone la corruzione come l'elemento disgregatore della convivenza civile, la cui diffusione conduce al prevalere del vantaggio del singolo sul bene della comunità e alla perdita di libertà dei cittadini. La riflessione su virtù e corruzione nei secoli XVII e XVIII assume sempre più rilievo a seguito dell'affermarsi di una moderna economia di mercato e della transizione verso forme più avanzate di capitalismo. Tale dibattito giunge al suo più maturo compimento nel tardo illuminismo quando il tema della società commerciale - l'espressione con cui Adam Smith definisce quelle organizzazioni sociali fondate sul mercato- impone un ripensamento …
Biskup Antoni Adamiuk we wspomnieniach sióstr szkolnych de Notre Dame
2017
Opolski biskup pomocniczy Antoni Adamiuk blisko współpracował z siostrami szkolnymi de Notre Dame, które przed 2000 r. pracowały w kurii diecezji opolskiej i Wydawnictwie św. Krzyża. W pamięci sióstr bp Adamiuk to wzorowy kapłan, znakomity katecheta i odważny kaznodzieja, dobry, skromny i prosty człowiek, strażnik pamięci polskich Kresów Wschodnich oraz obrońca prawdy i sprawiedliwości (związku zawodowego „Solidarność”). W ramach pomocy opozycji antykomunistycznej u boku biskupa działała s. Angela Orłowska SSND. Siostry mogły liczyć na pomoc biskupa w trudnych latach Polski komunistycznej. Organizował wtedy kursy katechetyczne, przygotowujące siostry szkolne do pracy z dziećmi i młodzieżą. …
Ceci c'est la pipe: come si racconta l'assedio di Leningrado
2017
L'assegnazione del premio Nobel a Svetlana Aleksievič è stata interpretata da più parti come un atto di canonizzazione della letteratura non-fiction, e spesso come una prova della caduta definitiva delle barriere tra letteratura e giornalismo. Aleksievič ha però alle spalle, nella letteratura sovietica, una tradizione che, se non è definitivamente codificata, risale però probabilmente fino agli anni Trenta e, soprattutto a partire dal dopoguerra, presenta una consistenza niente affatto trascurabile. L'analisi comparata di un testo del maestro dichiarato di Aleksievič, Ales' Adamovič, la Blokadnaja kniga (scritta a quattro mani con Daniil Granin) e della più canonica delle opere letterarie s…
Strategies to Target ADAM17 in Disease: From Its Discovery to the iRhom Revolution
2021
For decades, disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) has been the object of deep investigation. Since its discovery as the tumor necrosis factor convertase, it has been considered a major drug target, especially in the context of inflammatory diseases and cancer. Nevertheless, the development of drugs targeting ADAM17 has been harder than expected. This has generally been due to its multifunctionality, with over 80 different transmembrane proteins other than tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) being released by ADAM17, and its structural similarity to other metalloproteinases. This review provides an overview of the different roles of ADAM17 in disease and the effects of its ablation in a n…

The humour in science fiction litterature : identification ans specification of its contours, its attributes, its techniques and its variations
2014
This thesis is divided in two parts. The first part suggests a theory of humour, it starts studying that concept by explaining its enunciative, logical or syntactical structures in order to draw a clear vision of it, before offering a first attempt to define it. Then it establishes necessary distinctions between the various categories of the risible to refine the delineation of the contours of humour. Once the concept is marked out, the theory of humour suggests an original typology of humourous themes and a study of the three main variations of humour, before focusing on its purpose. The second part discusses, in the light of certain concepts developed in the first part, the question of hu…
Enfermedad de Adamantiades-Behçet: Un proceso enigmático con manifestaciones orales
2006
La enfermedad de Adamantiades-Behçet es una vasculitis multisistémica crónica, potencialmente capaz de afectar a cualquier órgano o sistema del cuerpo humano y en la que la aparición repetida de úlceras orales es una de sus principales expresiones clínicas. La EAB es una patología de carácter universal, con una prevalencia variable en función de la población estudiada y que muestra una curiosa distribución geográfica. A pesar de ser un proceso conocido desde la antigüedad, su etiopatogenia en la que probablemente se hayan implicados factores genéticos, microbiológicos e inmunológicos, continua siendo enigmática. Su amplio espectro de manifestaciones clínicas orales, genitales, cutáneas, ocu…
