Assessment of synthetic chemicals for disruption of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus attraction in an urban environment

2012

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is currently one of the most severe pests of Canary palms in urban areas of Mediterranean countries and date palms in cultivated areas of the Middle East. RPW aggregation pheromone can be implemented for both monitoring and mass trapping however risks of RPW 'spillover' onto palms is of great concern. Aim of this work was to discover repellent semiochemicals for RPW population management in urban environments. For this purpose we conducted electroantennographic (EAG) screenings of 17 commercially available synthetic compounds, representing three groups of plant volatiles (isoprenoids, phenyl propanoid …

Per favore, non chiamatelo cibo per cani

2017

Fra uomo e cane esiste quello che potremmo chiamare un patto nutrizionale, un accordo del tutto implicito che, per tramite del cibo, li lega. Come fare allora a conoscere i termini di tale patto? Come ricostruire le tante potenziali logiche che possono governarlo? Come capire insomma cosa può essere un cane per una persona e viceversa? Due modi di affrontare la questione sono evidentemente quelli dell’etologia e dell’antropologia, che cercano di risolvere il problema da un lato guardando agli animali, al modo in cui si comportano e imparano, capiscono e si esprimono, dall’altro alle comunità umane, e al ruolo che di volta in volta queste creature assumono al loro interno. L’approccio semiot…

Io sono Gandhi, io sono Telecom. Intorno a uno spot istituzionale di Telecom Italia

2009

Cosa succede quando una marca dice “io”? E quando lo dice un testimonial? E se si dovesse trattare di un leader mondiale riconosciuto come Gandhi? Che differenza si pone fra discorso di marca e discorso politico? L’analisi dello spot della campagna “Se avesse potuto comunicare così” e “A voi comunicare” assume un ruolo di cartina di tornasole per i processi di costruzione dell’identità aziendale. Le due campagne pongono anche la questione del ruolo delle nuove tecnologie nel discorso di marca. Si riflette sul “dialogo” intorno agli spot della campagna e attraverso di essi fra la marca e la rete (comunità facenti riferimento al cosiddetto web 2.0). L’analisi quindi si costruisce come opportu…

Bcl-xL as a Modulator of Senescence and Aging

2021

Many features of aging result from the incapacity of cells to adapt to stress conditions. When cells are overwhelmed by stress, they can undergo senescence to avoid unrestricted growth of damaged cells. Recent findings have proven that cellular senescence is more than that. A specific grade of senescence promotes embryo development, tissue remodeling and wound healing. However, constant stresses and a weakening immune system can lead to senescence chronicity with aging. The accumulation of senescent cells is directly related to tissue dysfunction and age-related pathologies. Centenarians, the most aged individuals, should accumulate senescent cells and suffer from their deleterious effects,…

Consensus nomenclature for CD8(+) T cell phenotypes in cancer

2015

International audience; Whereas preclinical investigations and clinical studies have established that CD8+ T cells can profoundly affect cancer progression, the underlying mechanisms are still elusive. Challenging the prevalent view that the beneficial effect of CD8+ T cells in cancer is solely attributable to their cytotoxic activity, several reports have indicated that the ability of CD8+ T cells to promote tumor regression is dependent on their cytokine secretion profile and their ability to self-renew. Evidence has also shown that the tumor microenvironment can disarm CD8+ T cell immunity, leading to the emergence of dysfunctional CD8+ T cells. The existence of different types of CD8+ T…

Els serveis socials municipals en risc de desaparició. L'avantprojecte de Llei de racionalització i sostenibilitat de l'Administració local

2013

This bill endangers the municipal social services system because it deeply modifies the conception thereof (leaning social services towards charity), the distribution of powers (taking competences to the town and city councils) and the public responsibility (encouraging private management and the commercial exploitation thereof). During the last thirty years, the Social Services system had been consolidated throughout Spain, being the proximity to the citizenry its most fundamental value. Such proximity has been achieved thanks to the benefits provided by the town and city councils, which have become the closer public bodies to citizens and their needs with great capacity to understand and …

L'application du principe de laïcité à la justice

2019

Ce rapport sur « l’application de la laïcité à la justice » est le fruit d’un travail collectif mené sur deux années par une équipe d’enseignants-chercheurs (juristes et sociologues) avec le soutien de la mission de recherche « Droit et Justice ».Le sujet est d’autant plus intéressant que la justice n’est sans doute pas un service public comme les autres. Outre une laïcisation plus lente, la justice se distingue également des autres services publics par la diversité des acteurs qui s’y croisent : tous ne sont pas des professionnels (les jurés notamment) et parmi les professionnels, tous ne sont pas des agents publics. Toutes ces personnes ne sont donc pas soumises aux mêmes règles.L’essenti…
