The path of liberation. Women’s associationism and workers’ cultures in the Second Republic (1931-1936)

2021

El presente texto reflexiona sobre algunas experiencias asociativas de las mujeres de distintas organizaciones femeninas de izquierda durante la Segunda República española (1931-1936). A través de ellas, las mujeres aumentaron su presencia pública en este período, sus vinculaciones y su compromiso, a través de múltiples acciones y propuestas. Pero a la vez, estas experiencias incrementaron el contacto y la interacción entre ellas, posibilitando su reconocimiento mutuo, su «apoyo mutuo», y con él, el desarrollo de su conciencia y de su identidad como mujeres, como socialistas y como trabajadoras. En otras palabras, su identidad como «compañeras», y su sociabilidad asociativa como «camino de …

Introduction: Impression(s)

2019

This is the introduction to the volume "Impression(s)". The articles presented in this cluster discuss literary and visual impressions from the premise that literary impressionism and printmaking share the trope of impression as “impress” and as “imprints” in a technical and epistemological sense. Most works on Impressionism and literary impressionism dwell on the genealogy and mutual influence of fiction and painting, but few authors tackle the importance of printmaking. The five essays presented here all examine impressions as theme, trope and technique in 19th and 20th-century texts and images. These essays discuss intermedial practices, the mutual influence of artistic practice and text…

Il Paradigma della Città Fluida

2013

Nella recente crisi globale i poderosi flussi di capitali finanziari, sociali e relazionali che hanno alimentato la riqualificazione urbana nel corso degli ultimi quindici anni non sono più disponibili ad essere intercettati in maniera indiscriminata così come è stato possibile fino a qualche anno fa. Nell'era della crisi strutturale le città più dinamiche non sono più quelle in grado di attrarre progetti urbani iconici ed investitori spinti dal mercato immobiliare o dalla redditività delle attività ricreative, ma quelle città che, a partire dalle loro profonde e diversificate risorse culturali, saranno capaci di attuare una vera e propria “metamorfosi” per usarle come base per la creazione…

Pellegrini Agata, Sguardo sull'India. Filosofie e religioni nella storia dell'India

2014

Adottando un taglio antropologico, il volume delinea un quadro delle filosofie e delle religioni dell'India in un arco di tempo che va dalla preistoria del continente a oggi. In an anthropological way, the book offers an history of filosofies and religions on India from prehistoric ages to contemporary ages.

Giarraffa and Grossa di Spagna naturally fermented table olives: Effect of starter and probiotic cultures on chemical, microbiological and sensory tr…

2014

Abstract This work investigated on the effects of selected starters and of probiotic strains on the evolution of microbiota, on trend of volatile compounds and on the final sensorial traits of green table olives. The olives, belonging to Giarraffa and Grossa di Spagna cultivars, were processed according to Sicilian traditional method and the following samples were obtained: (1) un-inoculated spontaneous olives, control; (2) olives inoculated with probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus H25; (3) olives inoculated with commercial probiotic L. rhamnosus GG; (4) olives inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum GC3 plus Lactobacillus paracasei BS21; and (5) olives inoculated with L. plantarum GC3 plus L…

Languaging across cultures

2013

As a theoretical notion, 'languaging' denotes a fluid system of communication that is constructed and performed by individuals during 'collaborative dialogue'. In language learning, the term 'languaging' has been defined as: “the process of making meaning and shaping knowledge and experience through language” (Swain 2006: 98). Swain continues, likening languaging to reformulating, where the intent is not to change meaning but the form to improve learning (maybe writing down the thoughts, or talking about and explaining what has been writen) so that the meaning is clear or acceptable to another reader or listener. Liddicoat and Scarino (2013: 61), in their discussion of intercultural teachin…

Bourdieu y la traducción e interpretación en los servicios públicos: hacia una teoría social

2010

Dentro de los Estudios de Traducción, la Traducción e Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos (TISP) es un área relativamente reciente (Critical Link 1995) en lucha todavía por conseguir el reconocimiento académico y profesional que se merece dentro y fuera de los límites que marca dicha disciplina. Gran parte de las dificultades para conseguir esa aceptación y reconocimiento se halla en la controversia que envuelve el papel del traductor e intérprete en sus actuaciones en los servicios públicos. En un intento por explicar la actuación de estos intérpretes, que con frecuencia va más allá de la invisibilidad y del mero trasvase lingüístico, y siguiendo la influencia que la teoría social de …

Inclusion of Trehalose (TRH) into liposomes to regulate uptake of this cryoprotectant into human hepatocytes.

2009

Purpose. Problems with the limited availability of human hepatocytes for cell transplantation may be overcome by improving the efficiency of their cryopreservation. TRH-loaded liposomes could enhance epatocyte viability by regulating the intracellular uptake of the cryoprotectant [1]. Methods. TRH-loaded liposomes were prepared by film hydration method (EPC, sodium cholate, 200mM TRH solution) [2]. Liposomal size was determined by dynamic light scattering. Intraliposomal TRH content was measured using the Megazyme spectrophotometric method. After incubation (1-5 h, 37°C, 5% CO2, 95% RH) of human hepatocytes with TRH-loaded liposomes or equivalent TRH solution, intracellular sugar content wa…

In vitro evidences of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in low cell-density cultured human fetal hepatocytes

2017

Abstract Culturing fetal hepatocytes in high cell-density allowed stabilization of the hepatocyte phenotype up to 8 weeks, including the maintenance of liver-specific functions. On the other hand, when cultured at low cell-density, fetal hepatocytes underwent morphological modifications and acquired fibroblastic morphology. Since a switch from E-cadherin to vimentin expression accompanied these changes, we hypothesized the occurrence of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition when fetal hepatocytes were cultured at low cell-density. Changes in gene expressionsuch as up-regulation of fibrosis-related geneswere also observed, suggesting that the low cell-density culture system promoted the acqui…
