Lezione 9 – Breve storia dell’epistemologia pedagogica moderna
2017
In questa Lezione vengono tracciate le tappe più significative del cammino che la pedagogia ha percorso nella modernità per essere riconosciuta come sapere autonomo. Fra il Seicento e l’Ottocento il sapere pedagogico era ancora assimilato al modello speculativo-sistematico e il suo codice epistemologico prevalente era quello filosofico, la cui logica astratta e autoreferenziale non rendeva conto dell’esperienza concreta educativa storicamente determinata. I tentativi da parte di Comenio, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart, i Positivisti, di conferire una qualche autonomia alla pedagogia rispetto alla filosofia non hanno condotto ad una trasformazione radicale della sua identità come invece sareb…
Identification et caractérisation de candidats d’origine naturelle à action herbicide pour contrôler les adventices
2016
EASPEIPMGESTADAGROSUPINRA; The use of herbicides to control weeds is very common. However, some herbicides are both environmentally detrimental and human unhealthy. The use of microorganisms acting as natural herbicide could be an alternative control method. Symptomatic weeds will be collected in field. Microorganisms will be isolated from symptomatic weeds, purified, identified and inoculated on weeds to confirm Koch’s postulates. The identified pathogenic microorganisms will be tested against a selection of weeds and crops to characterize the host range and the specificity of these microorganisms. In parallel, the diversity of endophytic microorganisms of symptomatic weeds will be charact…
Ambrosia trifida L. in France: current distribution and ecological knowledge. Towards an eradication of the species?
2014
National audience; Giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) is an annual plant belonging to Asteraceae, originating from North America. It was introduced in France in the early twentieth century. Originally described as a ruderal plant, Ambrosia trifida was recently reported in agricultural areas (maize and soybean) in the region Midi-Pyrénées. Beyond the potential public health issue, this species is a major invasive weed in North America, its native area. That is why a question arises about the future trend of the species in France. Can we expect a low ability of the species to adapt the French habitats and land-uses, with a low probability of naturalization? Viceversa, should we consider lead…
Prévenir et réduire les risques de sélection de résistances : de la théorie à la pratique, des pistes pour améliorer la durabilité des PPP
2015
SPEPôle GEAPSICT2communication orale invitée, résumé; La résistance est le résultat inéluctable de la sélection exercée par les PPP sur les populations de bio-agresseurs. On ne peut pas empêcher une résistance d’évoluer, mais on peut retarder substantiellement son évolution en mettant en place des stratégies appropriées avant (prévention) et après (gestion) la détection des premiers individus résistants. Le point-clef à retenir pour cela est que plus le contrôle d’un bio-agresseur est basé sur une chimie peu diversifiée, plus le risque de sélectionner rapidement une résistance est élevé. Un exemple type de ce qu’il ne faut pas faire est de contrôler un bio-agresseur présent sur de grandes s…
Réduire les risques de sélection de résistances : de la théorie à la pratique, des pistes pour améliorer la durabilité des PPP
2013
National audience; La résistance est le résultat inéluctable de la sélection exercée par les PPP sur les populations de bio-agresseurs. À terme, on ne peut pas empêcher une résistance d’évoluer. Mais on peut retarder substantiellement cette évolution. Le point-clef à retenir pour ce faire est que plus une pression de sélection est répétée dans le temps et homogène, plus elle conduit rapidement et efficacement à une adaptation. Autrement dit, plus les techniques de contrôle déployées contre un bio-agresseur sont peu diverses, plus le risque de sélectionner rapidement une résistance est élevé. En agriculture, un exemple type d’application d’une pression de sélection homogène et répétée est de…
Biological Activity of Extracts from Artemisia arborescens (Vaill.)L.: An Overview about Insecticidal, Antimicrobial, Antifungal and Herbicidal Prope…
2016
Following their evolutionary process, many plants have oriented their secondary metabolism towards the production of complex molecules, which often show an apparent protective function against pests (insects, fungi, viruses, but also competing plants). The identification and the study of such compounds could play a significant role in the frame of the development of new techniques for sustainable plant protection, where they could help in achieving the goal of a reduction in the use of the most highly-impact chemicals. The Mediterranean basin, with its very large biodiversity, represents a huge reservoir of highly promising plant material, which is scarcely explored as far. Indeed, prelimin…
Herbal Medications in Endodontics and Its Application—A Review of Literature
2022
Herbal products are gaining popularity in dental and medical practice nowadays due to their biocompatibility, higher antimicrobial activity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbal medicine has experienced rapid growth in recent years due to its beneficial properties, ease of availability, and lack of side effects. As pathogenic bacteria become more resistant to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, researchers are becoming more interested in alternative products and treatment choices for oral diseases. As a result, natural phytochemicals separated from plants and utilized in traditional medicine are suitable substitutes for synthetic chemicals. The aim of this review articl…

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic problem which is among the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 30% of mortality. Previous investigations have demonstrated that mortality from CVD is more than three times higher in obese people than in normal-weight people. Due to these facts, it is necessary to continue the efforts to control obesity and overweight. Medication, health education and diet are the most common ways to manage and control obesity. As well as the implementation of a specific nutritional style along with the practice of physical exercise, are the most traditionally used methods to treat obesity. Physical exercise, represent an effective strategy to prev…
Herbicidal activity of phosphonic, phosphinic, and phosphonous acid analogues of phenylglycine and phenylalanine
1995
A series of phosphonic, phosphinic, and phosphonous acid analogues of phenylglycine and phenylalanine was synthesized and tested as herbicides against Lepidium sativum and Cucumis sativus. Aminobenzylphosphonic acids exhibited notable herbicidal activity and thus represent a group of the most active herbicides found among aminophosphonic acids.
Typification of five plant names described based on specimens collected by Józef Warszewicz in Central and South America.
2022
Józef Warszewicz (1812–1864) was one of the first Polish naturalists to explore the flora of the tropical New World. During two expeditions to Central and South America (1844–1850 and 1850–1853) he collected and delivered to Europe up to twenty thousand plant specimens. To honour his service and his achievements in plant collections, different taxonomists described more than 100 taxa using the surname Warszewicz, for example in the genus name (Warszewiczia) and the species epithets (warszewiczii, warscewiczii, warszewicziana). Unfortunately, a large part of Warszewicz’s collection of plant species deposited in the Berlin Herbarium (B), including many type specimens was destroyed during Worl…
