Santi, apostoli e patroni. Storie di agiografia e di potere nell’Inghilterra anglosassone
2018
L’agiografia è un potente veicolo di propaganda e i testi agiografici medievali forniscono una chiave di lettura anche riguardo ai temi dell’etnia e dell’identità dei popoli germanici. Per quanto riguarda il mondo germanico riveste particolare rilievo il culto di quei santi che appaiono più strettamente legati alle formazioni politiche che vanno emergendo in Europa occidentale. Si tratta di culti sostenuti dalle autorità non solo ecclesiastiche ma anche e soprattutto civili, dai sovrani e dai loro entourage. Non si tratta in ogni caso di movimenti prodromici alla affermazione di culti sovraregionali o all’introduzione del concetto di patrono nel senso pieno del termine. I casi presi in esam…
Biskup Würzburga Johann Philipp von Schönborn we francuskojęzycznej korespondencji Charlesa II i Jamesa II Stuartów z lat 1652-1673
2021
Podpisany w 1648 r. pokój westfalski nie kończył zmagań wojennych w Europie Zachodniej. Do 1658 r. trwała wojna francusko-hiszpańska, a po drugiej stronie kanału La Manche Anglia targana była najpierw wojną domową, a potem, pod władzą Oliwera Cromwella, uwikłała się w konflikt z Holandią (1652–1654), który stanowił jedynie preludium do kolejnych wojen między tymi państwami. Kluczową rolę w dobie zmagań z Niderlandami odgrywała Rzesza Niemiecka, gdzie jedną z czołowych postaci był biskup Würzburga (arcybiskup Moguncji) Johann Philipp von Schönborn. W planach politycznych uwzględniali go dyplomaci francuscy i habsburscy. O zainteresowaniu Anglików jego osobą świadczą listy Charlesa II i James…

EPI-CT: design, challenges and epidemiological methods of an international study on cancer risk after paediatric and young adult CT
2015
Computed tomography (CT) has great clinical utility and its usage has increased dramatically over the years. Concerns have been raised, however, about health impacts of ionising radiation exposure from CTs, particularly in children, who have a higher risk for some radiation induced diseases. Direct estimation of the health impact of these exposures is needed, but the conduct of epidemiological studies of paediatric CT populations poses a number of challenges which, if not addressed, could invalidate the results. The aim of the present paper is to review the main challenges of a study on the health impact of paediatric CTs and how the protocol of the European collaborative study EPI-CT, coor…
Isotopic composition of cattle pancreatic stones: biological and geochemical implications.
1977
Latitudinal variations of the O18/O16-ratios of carbonate and phosphate of cattle pancreatic stones parallel a similar pattern of oxygen isotope values in rain water. C13/C12-ratios were virtually identical for the 7 cases studied. Isotopic measurements of mammalian hard tissues may be used for studying short-term climatic variations through Quaternary.
Matrimonio e Chiesa d’Inghilterra oggi
2015
It seems to take growing root in the West a certain idea of marriage, which appears to descend from the French secularism model, in being “counter-traditional”, respectful of the individual autonomy, and devoted to an “integral” application of the principle of equality. The proof is that it putted down roots in legal contexts poles apart from the above model, for their way to set the space and the relevance of religion in the public sphere. The study examines the emblematic English case, where this notion has led to the introduction of “same-sex marriage”, without the peculiar framework of the relations between the State and his national Church, with his singular legal tecnical implications…
Correlation between the level of the potential biomarker, heat-shock protein, and the occurrence of DNA damage in the dab, Limanda limanda: a field s…
2000
In the present study, heat-shock protein of M-r 70 kDa (HSP70), a marker of cellular stress response, was validated as a potential biomarker under field conditions. The dab, Limanda limanda (female, size greater than or equal to 25 cm, spawning maturity stage 2) was used as the indicator organism. The data on HSP level were correlated with the occurrence of DNA damage, measured in the same specimens of L. limanda, to prove the usefulness of the method. The area under investigation was the North Sea. Four locations were selected: station N01, close to Heligoland, in the North Sea; station N04 at the Dogger Bank; station N06 at the Firth of Forth; and station G08 in the English Channel. Ten a…
Is the PGM1 locus subject to selection?
1973
The placental phosphoglucomutase phenotypes controlled by the first locus of 235 German and 119 non-German samples were determined. Both in the pooled material and in the sample containing German subjects only there was a significant deviation from the expected Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A segregation analysis of 1174 families also revealed significant deviations in the phenotypes of the children, though the mating frequencies were as expected. The distribution of the children's phenotypes deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium though this was not found in the parent samples. The results are discussed.
Paper 6: EUROCAT member registries: organization and activities.
2011
BACKGROUND: EUROCAT is a network of population-based congenital anomaly registries providing standardized epidemiologic information on congenital anomalies in Europe. There are three types of EUROCAT membership: full, associate, or affiliate. Full member registries send individual records of all congenital anomalies covered by their region. Associate members transmit aggregate case counts for each EUROCAT anomaly subgroup by year and by type of birth. This article describes the organization and activities of each of the current 29 full member and 6 associate member registries of EUROCAT. METHODS: Each registry description provides information on the history and funding of the registry, popu…
