Caritas e bene comune

2014

Tra il XIII e il XIV secolo in Italia, e soprattutto a Firenze, prende forma una nuova ideologia del «bene comune», molto legata al rafforzamento dello «stato» comunale durante la fase caratterizzata dal dominio del «popolo» . Alla base di questo rinnovamento sta l’esplicita politicizzazione della virtù cristiana della carità. Il legame politico rientrava tradizionalmente nelle categorie dell’amicizia e dell’amore, non della carità, virtù «universale» che legava l’uomo a Dio e gli uomini tra di loro nella comunità della chiesa: il sistema tomista fornisce un rappresentazione codificata di questa logica. Viceversa, alcuni autori, da Tolomeo da Lucca a Remigio de’Girolami a Coluccio Salutati,…

In vitro evaluation of probiotic strains for lactic acid production

2019

Background The growing interest on usage of probiotic lactobacilli in maintaining oral health has posed number of questions on its probable side effects. One such consideration could be an increased acid production in dental plaque, in turn leading to dental caries. Thus, the aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the lactic acid producing ability of L. acidophilus and L. plantarum with and without dental plaque. Material and Methods The study consisted of five groups: 3 control groups (Supragingival plaque, L. acidophilus and L. plantarum) and 2 test groups (Supragingival plaque with L. acidophilus and Supragingival plaque with L. plantarum). 26 samples for each group were collect…

Methods: The research was conducted through the inclusion of teachers who are implementing these actions in dialogue with the researchers t…

The role of cefditoren in the treatment of lower community-acquired respiratory tract infections (LRTIs): from bacterial eradication to reduced lung …

2014

Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), including pneumonia and acute exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), are among the most common diagnoses in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

Moreover, the role of acute and chronic infection in the pathogenesis of COPD has received considerable attention, since chronic infection can contribute to airways inflammation and COPD progression. This review discusses the role of cefditoren for the treatment of LRTIs, compared with the definition of "appropria…

Eucharistie als Quelle für den karitativen Einsatz der Kirche

2020

Jak ustrzec charytatywne działania Kościoła przed sekularyzacją i pomijaniem odniesień do Boga? Jak nadać tym działaniom właściwy sens? Jak odzyskać chrześcijańską tożsamość kościelnej Caritas? Konstytucja o liturgii świętej Sacrosanctum Concilium Soboru Watykańskiego II określa Eucharystię jako źródło i szczyt życia chrześcijańskiego i centrum życia całego Kościoła (nr 10). Z tego powodu, aby nie utracić chrześcijańskiego charakteru charytatywnego zaangażowania Kościoła, lecz jeszcze bardziej go wydobyć, wydaje się ważnym powrót do źródła chrześcijańskiego życia. Chodzi o ponowne odkrycie na nowo związków między Eucharystią a charytatywną posługą Kościoła. Taka perspektywa wyznacza cel pod…

Forme limite a margine del periurbano. Lo ZEN come nuova agorà creativa.

2012

La città contemporanea, alle soglie del nuovo millennio, appariva già priva di senso e di forma e animando il dibattito sulla qualità della periferia. Al risveglio del nuovo millennio l’accelerazione delle trasformazioni territoriali, determinate da processi di globalizzazione, restituisce due dimensioni urbane: da una parte una città reticolare costituita da filamenti urbani tende a saldare i centri più densi in un continuo edilizio, dall’altra parte si diffondono miriadi di frammentazioni urbane, isole urbane o gated community, separate per scelta o recluse per costrizione. In questo modello reticolare a due velocità, una più rapida che si assoggetta al consumo di suolo e alla dissipazion…
