On Simon Nelson Patten’s Progressivism: A note
2020
This article is an attempt to offer an assessment of the main coordinates of Simon Nelson Patten’s views on democracy and biological determinism. This will allow us to better delineate the differences—as well as the affinities—between Patten and the core of progressives discussed by Thomas C. Leonard in a series of path-breaking contributions, culminating in his Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, and American Economics in the Progressive Era. It is our contention that even within the persisting intricacies, ambiguities, and contradictions of Patten’s expository style, it is possible to trace a shift in some aspects of his ideas—a gradual evolution that makes his peculiar brand of progress…
Strange bedfellows: the Bundestag’s free vote on pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) reveals how Germany’s restrictive bioethics legislation is …
2015
Germany’s bioethical legislation presents a puzzle: given structural factors, the country should be at the forefront of reproductive medicine, but its embryology regime remains one of the strictest in Western Europe. Past research has linked this fact to an unusual coalition of Christian and New Left groups, which both draw a connection from modern embryology to eugenics under the Nazis. In this article, the workings of this alleged alliance are demonstrated at the micro-level for the first time. The behaviour of individual MPs in a crucial free vote on pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is modelled using data on their political, sectoral and religious affiliations. Identifying as a …
New reactive isoeugenol based phosphate flame retardant : toward green epoxy resins
2019
A biobased reactive phosphate flame retardant derived from isoeugenol was synthesized and fully characterized (1H, 13C, 31P NMR, FTIR, MS) with the aim of improving flame retardancy behavior of bio...
Binari, spirale, orizzonte
2012
Europa. La guerra ha distrutto muri, case, segnato strade, scavato fossi fra i popoli. In un paese qualsiasi, un bambino affamato, uno qualsiasi, uno dei tanti, forse quello di “Germania Anno Zero”. Forse ce la farà e diventerà un uomo qualsiasi. O un grande uomo. Colline liguri, un partigiano ferito muore. Da qualche parte in Unione Sovietica il gelo si allontana e risparmia uno dei suoi ventitre milioni di morti contro il nazifascismo.
Manicomio Rizzeddu di Sassari
2013
Il Manicomio di Sassari fu costruito tra il 1896 e il 1904, in località Rizzeddu, dall’ingegnere della Provincia di Sassari Domenico Cordella sulla base del progetto redatto nel 1894 da Eugenio Manunta Bruno con la consulenza dell’alienista Federico Rivano. Il progetto era improntato alla massima economicità, all’utilizzo razionale delle strutture ricettive e consistente in un sistema di sei distinti padiglioni isolati disposti secondo un doppio sistema assiale. Lungo l’asse principale, in direzione nord-ovest sud-est, erano ubicati l’edificio dell’amministrazione e il padiglione dei servizi comuni, mentre lungo il secondo asse erano distribuiti, opportunamente distanziati, i quattro padigl…

Play and Self-Reflection. Eugen Fink’s Phenomenological Anthropology
2018
The paper takes into consideration the relationship between philosophical anthropology and phenomenology from the point of view provided by Eugen Fink’s philosophical path. Starting with phenomenological researches into the structure of constitution and reduction, after the Second World War Fink puts forth an anthropological theory based on the notion of play. This paper identifies the self-reflective and practical structure of Selbstbesinnung as a constant element of Fink’s analysis of the phenomenological method, of consciousness, and of the anthropological dimension of play, thus suggesting a profound continuity in his philosophical thought.
In vitro antibacterial activity of endodontic sealers
2004
Summary Objectives To evaluate the antibacterial activity of four endodontic sealers: one epoxy resin sealer (AH Plus), two zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE)-based sealers (Endomethasone, Pulp Canal Sealer), and one sealer containing both ZOE and orthophenilphenol (Vcanalare). Methods A direct contact test (DCT) was performed. A 10 μl suspension of Enterococcus faecalis was placed on the test material 20 min, 24 h and 7 days after mixing. Bacteria were allowed to directly contact the sealers for 1 h at 37 °C. Bacterial growth was then spectrophotometrically measured every 30 min for 7 h, and again after 24 h as well. Results All freshly mixed sealers showed complete inhibition of bacterial growth. S…
Relevant essential oil components: a minireview on increasing applications and potential toxicity.
2021
[EN] Phenolic compounds carvacrol, thymol, eugenol, and vanillin are four of the most thoroughly investigated essential oil components given their relevant biological properties. These compounds are generally considered safe for consumption and have been used in a wide range of food and non-food applications. Significant biological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, or anti-carcinogenic activity, have been described for these components. They are versatile molecules with wide-ranging potential applications whose use may substantially increase in forthcoming years. However, some in vitro and in vivo studies, and several case report…
Karta z kalendarza, czyli wspomnienie o Gdyni
2022
On September 23, 1922, the Legislative Sejm of the Republic of Poland passed an act on the creation of the port in Gdynia. The resolution was a confirmation of the will of the Polish nation, which, although in the Treaty of Versailles, received access to the Baltic Sea, but without a port, which was necessary for the development of the state. Bearing in mind this important and round anniversary, the authors of the article decided to recall the most important circumstances and figures related to the construction of the port and the city of Gdynia. The article contains a historical outline of Gdynia, reminding that the first historical mention of it dates back to 1253. However, a lot of space…
