La nuova donna. I romanzi tedeschi al femminile nell’Italia fascista

2011

Tra i numerosi romanzi tedeschi che varcarono i confini italiani durante il fascismo, la letteratura al femminile fu uno dei filoni letterari di maggior successo. Specchi vivi di un mondo moderno e all’avanguardia, questi romanzi proponevano il confronto con un nuovo modello di femminilità, fatto di emancipazione e di indipendenza, in netto contrasto con l’ideale femminile fascista. Le lettrici italiane, disattendendo aspettative e modelli comportamentali proposti dal regime, si lasciarono conquistare dal fascino delle eroine d’oltralpe, rivelandosi consumatrici attente alle novità letterarie. Gli stessi elementi vagamente anticonformisti che rendevano quelle storie così attraenti per il pu…

Predictive value of the Merrill-Palmer-R Scale applied during the first year of live

2016

Resumen basado en el de la publicación Títulos, resumen y palabras clave en inglés y español El valor predictivo de una escala de desarrollo utilizado durante el primer año de vida es de gran interés en la planificación de las intervenciones tempranas. El valor predictivo de un instrumento es la probabilidad de acertar el diagnóstico de trastorno o retraso en el desarrollo de un niño. Se analizaron las puntuaciones de escala Merrill-Palmer-R (MP-R) en una muestra de 291 niños menores de un año de la Comunidad Valenciana. A pesar de que no se distribuyen normalmente las puntuaciones de la escala MP-R en esta muestra, los resultados predichos eran buenos. Además, las puntuaciones de desarroll…

Deletion of beta-fructofuranosidase (invertase) genes is associated with sucrose content in Date Palm fruit

2019

AbstractThe fruit of date palm trees are an important part of the diet for a large portion of the Middle East and North Africa. The fruit is consumed both fresh and dry and can be stored dry for extended periods of time. Date fruits vary significantly across hundreds of cultivars identified in the main regions of cultivation. Most dried date fruit are low in sucrose but high in glucose and fructose. However, high sucrose content is a distinctive feature of some date fruit and affects flavor as well as texture and water retention. To identify the genes controlling high sucrose content we analyzed date fruit metabolomics for association with genotype data from 121 date fruits. We found signif…

An experimental investigation on the long-term compatibility of preheated crude palm oil in a large compression ignition diesel engine

2018

An experimental study was carried out on a large stationary compression ignition engine to evaluate the long-term compatibility and durability issues associated with the use of crude palm oil as fuel. Two different preheating temperatures (60 and 80 °C) were adopted to assess the potential improvements related to lower fuel viscosity. The results obtained, in terms of in-cylinder carbon deposits and engine wear, were compared with the results obtained using ordinary diesel fuel. For each fuel and preheating temperature, the engine was operated for 300 consecutive h, during which several engine lubricant samples were collected and analysed to determine soot and fuel contaminations, viscosity…

Los orígenes del Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes de Palma (Mallorca) y sus inventarios iniciales: 1820-1850

2012

Una de las consecuencias de la desamortización de Mendizabal fue la creación de la red estatal de Museos Provinciales. Aquí se considera el origen del Museo de Bellas Artes de Palma en sus dos etapas iniciales: la primera es la que se vincula con la Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, la cual realizó la primera recopilación de los fondos; la segunda, entre 1844 y 1850, discurre bajo el signo de la Comisión provincial de monumentos. Estos períodos llevan a cabo la selección de las obras, la instalación provisional del Museo y elaboraron una serie de inventarios de los bienes museísticos, de los cuales presentamos los realizados durante los años cuarenta. One of the consequences of the Spa…

Contribution of vitamin A to the oxidation resistance of human low density lipoproteins.

1995

This study investigated the antioxidant contribution of vitamin A in protecting human low density lipoprotein (LDL) against copper-stimulated oxidation. The presence of small amounts of retinol (0.033 ± 0.012 nmol/mol LDL) and retinyl palmitate (0.036 ± 0.021 nmol/mol LDL) was routinely ascertained in the LDL. A single oral supplementation with 20,000 IU vitamin A caused a two- to three-fold increase of retinol and retinyl palmitate in the LDL isolated 8 h after the supplementation. In comparison to autologous-control LDL, vitamin A-enriched LDL were more resistant to oxidation, as expressed both by a clear delay in the onset of lipid peroxidation and by a reduction of the rate of conjugate…

Antioxidant Activity of Vitamin A within Lipid Environments

1998

New information about deleterious effects of free radicals on cell compartments, and a growing amount of associations between free radicals and various pathological conditions, have produced considerable interest in the biological defense systems against oxidative injury. The antioxidant properties of vitamin A, known for decades (Monaghan and Schmitt, 1932), have been reinvestigated in recent years in chemical as well as in biological systems. Its lipid nature and the localization within the lipophilic compartment of membranes and lipoproteins make vitamin A effective in reducing lipid peroxidation by acting as a chain-breaking antioxidant.

A time-course investigation of vitamin A levels and drug metabolizing enzyme activities in rats following a single treatment with prototypic polychlo…

1987

Xenobiotics previously characterized as selective inducers of drug-metabolizing enzymes were chosen to probe possible relationships between enzyme induction and vitamin A metabolism. Liver, kidney and serum retinol and retinyl palmitate levels were investigated in male Sprague--Dawley rats receiving a single i.p. injection of the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl or 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (300 mumol/kg) or 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-ethane (DDT) (150 mumol/kg). While 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, a weak or non-inducer, and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexaclorobiphenyl and DDT, phenobarbital-type inducers of cytochrome…
