Errors d?edició : dels manuscrits als diccionaris. Exemples de textos mèdics medievals (Hipòcrates, Arnau de Vilanova, Bernat de Gordon, misser Joan)
2017
The commonly used Catalan lexicons (DCVB, DECLC, the vocabulary of Lluis Faraudo de Saint-Germain) collect words and give them meaning from ancient editions of texts. Lexicographers’ performance had its own logic: they used the documentary sources they had at their disposal when they set up to write their works. The advances in philological research (new critical editions, new sources of information) allow us to refine results and detect errors that occurred in old editions and went into dictionaries. Wrong lexemes were included, as well as incorrect or insufficient definitions. This article offers examples of it, out of four medical works. On the one hand, the Catalan translations of the R…
Il caso Hoodia: successo o fallimento? La protezione giuridica delle conoscenze tradizionali
2012
Il presente articolo analizza gli elementi giuridici e politico-strategici del famoso caso di biopirateria della Hoodia gordonii. Il caso è normalmente citato come esempio di successo della collaborazione tra case farmaceutiche e comunità indigene in merito all’utilizzo delle conoscenze tradizionali. Sulla base di ricerche bibliografiche e sul campo, il testo ne descrive lo svolgimento e ne svela alcuni dei non pochi e spesso tralasciati lati oscuri, domandandosi non solo se sia necessario metterne in dubbio il tanto professato successo, ma anche se l’attuale regime giuridico per la protezione delle conoscenze tradizionali sia adeguato ed efficace.
The nearly Gorenstein property for numerical duplications and semitrivial extensions
2022
In this thesis we present and study the ideal duplication, a new construction within the class of the relative ideals of a numerical semigroup $S$, that, under specific assumptions, produces a relative ideal of the numerical duplication $SJoin^b E$, for some ideal $E$ of $S$. We prove that every relative ideal of the numerical duplication can be uniquely written as the ideal duplication of two relative ideals of $S$; this allows us to better understand how the basic operations of the class of the relative ideals of $SJoin^b E$ work. In particular, we characterize the ideals $E$ such that $SJoin^b E$ is nearly Gorenstein. With the aim to generalize this construction to commutative rings with…

Objectively measured far vision impairment and sarcopenia among adults aged ≥ 65 years from six low- and middle-income countries
2021
Background:\ud \ud There are currently no studies on visual impairment and sarcopenia. We investigated the cross-sectional association between objectively measured far vision impairment and sarcopenia in a nationally representative sample of older adults aged 65 years and over from six low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).\ud \ud Methods:\ud \ud Cross-sectional, community-based data from the study on global ageing and adult health (SAGE) were analyzed. Far vision acuity was measured using the tumbling E LogMAR chart and classified as: no vision impairment (6/12 or better); mild vision impairment (6/18 or better but worse than 6/12); moderate vision impairment (6/60 or better but worse t…
Differences in between-reinforcer value modulate the selective-value effect in great apes (Pan troglodytes, P. Paniscus, Gorilla gorilla, Pongo abeli…

We investigated how apes allocated their choices between 2 food options that varied in terms of their quantity and quality. Experiment 1 tested whether subjects preferred an AB option over an A option, where the A item is preferred to the B item (e.g., apple + carrot vs. apple). Additionally, we tested whether the length of the intertrial interval (ITI) affected subjects' choices. Five orangutans, 4 gorillas, 7 bonobos, and 10 chimpanzees received 3 types of trials: preference (A vs. B), quantity (AA vs. A), and mixed (AB vs. A where A is the preferred food). We used 3 food items that substantially differed in terms of preference (carrots, apples, and pellets). Subjects showed no overall pr…
Process art as an aesthetic alternative
2022
The present chapter examines Creed’s early career, particularly the artistic connection to his hometown as well as his peculiar conception of creativeness, for which Douglas Gordon emerges as an influential point of reference. This link to Glasgow has been widely overlooked by critics so far, who rather analyse Creed from a London-centred perspective. Hence, the principal aim of this chapter is to broaden the research scope and possibly detect some strains of early philosophical reasoning and artistic ontogenesis that gradually shaped Creed’s early production. My investigation covers roughly a decade from the late 1980s – Creed’s art school years in London – to the end of the century, short…
The evolution and changing ecology of the African hominid oral microbiome
2021
Significance The microbiome plays key roles in human health, but little is known about its evolution. We investigate the evolutionary history of the African hominid oral microbiome by analyzing dental biofilms of humans and Neanderthals spanning the past 100,000 years and comparing them with those of chimpanzees, gorillas, and howler monkeys. We identify 10 core bacterial genera that have been maintained within the human lineage and play key biofilm structural roles. However, many remain understudied and unnamed. We find major taxonomic and functional differences between the oral microbiomes of Homo and chimpanzees but a high degree of similarity between Neanderthals and modern humans, incl…
Norme sulla tutela dell'ambiente nelle poleis greche di età pre-ellenistica
2020
This paper offers a study of fifth- and fourth-century BC epigraphical and literary documents pertaining to what we may call ‘ancient ecology’. Even though documents are not many, there is proof of laws governing cleanness and decorum of Greek cities’ public space. From the evidence it is possible to state that city institutions intervened on this matter only in few and ‘exceptional’ cases, with the aim of preventing that some particular areas of the city, which were of primary importance for the community life, got dirty. Citizens were subject to fines, if they threw in public spaces (i.e. streets) animal and human waste, or craftwork activities’. In particular, inscriptions from Athens an…
