Taxonomic Identity, Geographic Distribution, and Commercial Exploitation of the Culinary-Medicinal Mushroom Pleurotus nebrodensis (Basidiomycetes)
2016
An updated overview of the outcome of studies conducted on the culinary-medicinal mushroom Pleurotus nebrodensis is presented by placing emphasis on the clarification of the taxonomic identity of P. nebrodensis and other related taxa possessing entirely white to cream basidiomes, which grow in association with different plants of the family Apiaceae. Cultivation techniques, quality of the product sold and sales price, as well as nutritional and medicinal aspects are discussed. Taking also into consideration the high economic importance of P. nebrodensis, it is essential to proceed with the verification of the commercial strains currently available in the international market under the name …
Volatile constituents of aerial parts ofCentaurea sibthorpii(Sect. Carduiformes, Asteraceae) from Greece and their biological activity
2008
The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Centaurea sibthorpii [Sect. Carduiformes, Asteraceae] collected in Greece were extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC-MS. Altogether 63 components were identified. Fatty acids and sesquiterpenoidic compounds were the most abundant components in the oil. A study on the biological activity of the oil showed no action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Biopolitics in the Political Thought of Classical Greece
2016
This article deals with biopolitics in classical Greek thought. Its aim is to demonstrate that biopolitics is not a distinctively modern phenomenon. It is as old a phenomenon as western political thought itself. Focusing on Aristotle’s Politics as well as Plato’s Republic and Laws, I argue that the politico-philosophical categories of classical thought were already biopolitical categories. In their books on politics, Plato and Aristotle do not only deal with all the central topics of biopolitics (sexual intercourse, marriage, pregnancy, childcare, public health, education, population, and so forth) from the political point of view but for them these topics are the very keystone of politics …
La mediazione o la difficile arte di mettere d’accordo nella Grecia antica. Cosa dire e come dirlo
2017
Conflict resolution always follows the same pattern, whether on an interpersonal or social level or between cities. This paper aims at illustrating the general patterns and at identifying some means of communication with the parties, both in terms of content and in terms of relationship. Regarding the content of the mediation, the following issues will be adressed: the reasons for the resolution, the appeal to a positive relationship between the parties and the mediator himself, the appeal to ‘collaborative individualism’, and the construction of a deep bond between the parties. Concerning relationships, the following issues will be discussed: the importance of a respectful attitude, the ro…
Costruzioni discorsive sull’Europa e sui rapporti tra continenti nell’antichità greca
2019
L’articolo studia le retoriche cui sono state sottoposte le identità rappresentate dai continenti. Viene mostrato così che la mitica parentela originaria ha dato luogo ora ad un legame di solidarietà tra i popoli che occupano l’una o l’altra zona geografica, ora ad una giustificazione delle pretese imperialistiche di un popolo su un altro. Si mostra altresì che i confini tra i continenti vengono presentati, a seconda del punto di vista difensivo o aggressivo da cui se ne parla, ora come segni di una ‘architettura’ naturale di cui si pretende il rispetto, ora come ostacoli da superare in nome dell’amore della conoscenza che vuole esplorare l’ignoto o dell’addomesticamento di ciò che è selvag…

La enseñanza basada en preguntas : La ley de Ampère y el término de Maxwell
2020
Frecuentemente a los maestros de Física y de Matemáticas se les recomienda una enseñanza activa de estas áreas del conocimiento, que consiste en una interacción continua entre el maestro y el estudiante. Con una metáfora de un interrogatorio adecuado, se pretende mostrar al docente una manera de orientar al estudiante en su aprendizaje, motivándolo a recuperar conocimientos previos o causándole un conflicto cognitivo que lo lleve a reformular su aprendizaje. Esta manera de proceder didácticamente se ha llamado enseñanza basada en preguntas, cuya primera referencia histórica nos remite a la Grecia antigua. En este trabajo se presenta la enseñanza de la ley de Ampère con la generalización de …
Is Bactra bactrana (Kennel, 1901) a novel pest of sweet peppers?
2015
AbstractThis is the first report of Bactra bactrana (Kennel, 1901) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) attacking a major solanaceous crop, sweet pepper Capsicum annuum L. The infestation was detected in two greenhouses at the area of Tympaki (Southern Crete, Greece). The moth larvae caused typical symptoms of a fruit borer with numerous small holes on the surface of the peppers and extensive damage on the inside of the fruit as a result of the feeding activity. Unknown factors facilitated this major shift in host range since B. bactrana is typically a stem borer of sedges. In addition, the pest status of B. bactrana is currently under question, as in both cases the infestations by the moth were asso…
Murals and tourism: heritage, politics and identity

« Autonomy in the Dock: Oscar Wilde’s first trial »
2014
Les procès d’Oscar Wilde de 1895 ont donné lieu à de multiples interprétations qui soulignent en particulier comment ils ont permis la cristallisation d’une identité gaie. Ils méritent également d’être mis en relation avec le texte de Wilde « The Soul of Man under Socialism » (1891) qui propose une subjectivité fondée sur l’individualisme et l’autonomie personnelle. Ce projet qui a fort inquiété les juges et l’Establishment anglais n’est pas sans rapport avec les thèses de Cornélius Castoriadis sur l’autonomie dans la Grèce antique, référence que les deux auteurs partagent. The 1895 Wilde trials are usually seen as either the trial of non-normative sexualities or as enabling a definition of…
