L’isola da mangiare. L’alterità siciliana vista dai ricettari per stranieri

2020

The work focuses on the relation between typical food and insularity, through a semiotics analysis of Sicilian cookbooks for anglophone readers. Initially, we briefy show examples of how cookbooks have contributed in the past, according to historians and anthropologists, which have shaped territorial identities and promotes regional and local identities. Following this there is a recap on the semiotics approach towards cookbooks and on the several elements involved in this kind of text analysis such as spatial, historical, political and translational factors. Secondly, we analyze a group of Sicilian cookbooks, published for the international market, highlighting their cartographical constru…

Morphologically similar but not closely related: the long-spored species of Subulicystidium (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota)

2020

AbstractSpecies boundaries and geographic distribution of corticioid fungi (resupinate Basidiomycota) are often poorly known. Our recent study on Subulicystidium showed that species diversity in this genus is at least twice as high as previously recognized. This re-estimation of the species diversity was based on a study of only a part of the genus. The present study sheds light on molecular and morphological diversity of three more species. We generated 27 ITS and 24 28S nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from 49 specimens labelled as Subulicystidium cochleum, S. longisporum and S. perlongisporum and collected in distant geographic localities. We assessed pairwise dissimilarities and phylogen…

RICOSTRUIRE L’IDENTITÀ Transitive-Car Design

2018

l concetto di Transitive Design si affaccia all’agone del dibattito internazionale sullo scorcio del XX secolo, nel momento in cui il disegno industriale nella sua globalità stava interrogandosi sui possibili indirizzi del gusto e sui mutamenti che stavano vivendo l’economia e la società. Il termine è stato coniato da Clino Trini Castelli per identificare quegli oggetti di produzione industriale che creano un legame sinergico tra passato e presente, riassumendo forme archetipiche e rinnovandole attraverso nuove funzioni e nuovi materiali. Rientrano nella categoria del Transitive Design tutti quei prodotti che collegano il passato e il futuro sotto il segno della continuità nel mutamento; so…

An exploratory analysis of website quality in the agrifood sector: The case of extra virgin olive oil

2018

Besides verifying the current consistency on the Internet of websites set up by Sicilian (Southern Italy) EVO oil firms, this paper aims to verify their e-service quality by evaluating which main quality features, as derived from the literature, they have. To process the data, descriptive statistics were used, which allowed detection of the presence/absence of the variables examined. The study found 280 websites with some qualitative gaps. Findings highlight that EVO oil firms do not exploit the potentialities of the web adequately. They often use the Internet as a communication and promotion tool, but only to a lesser degree for e-commerce. The results may be useful to both agrifood manage…

Forme del fritto: alcune esperienze di consumo

2020

Questo capitolo propone uno studio sul campo di una pratica alimentare che caratterizza la Sicilia e, in particolare, la città di Palermo: lo street food. Lo street food palermitano si caratterizza per essere indissolubilmente legato alla frittura, una modalità di cottura pervasiva tanto nei mercati storici della città, quanto in quei luoghi chiusi che, in forme diverse, tentano di replicarne l'esperienza. Il fritto è, ancor prima che una modalità di cottura dei cibi, un particolare dispositivo ambientale e sensoriale, che pregiudica olfattivamente gli spazi di vendita e consumo e che spinge, alcuni format di distribuzione, a limitarne la pervasività. Vedremo, in questo senso, come la diffe…

In vivo application and dynamics of lactic acid bacteria for the four-season production of Vastedda-like cheese.

2014

article Twelve lactic acid bacteria (LAB), previously selected in vitro (Gaglio et al., 2014), were evaluated in situ for their potential to act as starter cultures for the continuous four-season production of Vastedda-like cheese, made with raw ewes' milk. The strains belonged to Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides and Streptococcus thermophilus .L AB werefirst inoculated in multiple-strain combinations on the basis of their optimal growth temperatures in three process conditions which differed for milk treatment and medium for strain development: process 1, growth of strains in the optimal synthetic media and pasteu…

Changes and persistences of traditional architectural shapes in Burkina Faso

2018

Oggetto del presente lavoro è l’esito di una ricerca condotta presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, finalizzata all’analisi dello stato dell’arte dell’architettura tradizionale dei Paesi dell’Africa Nord-Occidentale e agli effetti che su questa ha determinato il processo di modernizzazione dell’habitat, attraverso l’introduzione di nuovi materiali da costruzione e di tecnologie avanzate importate da Paesi industrializzati. Il Paese preso in esame è il Burkina Faso, nell’Africa sub-sahariana, uno dei più poveri del Mondo e dell’Africa e, per tale ragione, uno dei più suscettibili alla superiorità economica e tecnologica dei paesi industrializzati che …

Cytotoxicity and inhibition of P-glycoprotein by selected medicinal plants from Thailand.

2014

Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Thai medicine has a long tradition of tonifying medicinal plants. In the present investigation, we studied the flower extracts of Jasminum sambac, Mammea siamensis, Mesua ferrea, Michelia alba, Mimusops elengi, and Nelumbo nucifera and speculated that these plants might influence metabolism and substance flow in the body. Materials and methods Isolation of porcine brain capillary endothelial cells (PBCECs) as well as multidrug-resistance CEM/ADR5000 leukemia cells, MDA-M;B-231 breast cancer, U-251 brain tumor, and HCT-116 colon cancer cells were used. The calcein-acetoxymethylester (AM) assay was used to measure inhibition of P-glycoprotein transport.…
