Archibald Alison e l’estetica del quotidiano? Una prospettiva neoestetica

2020

Il saggio rilegge l’estetica di Archibald Alison alla luce della neoestetica (una chiave di lettura introdotta da Luigi Russo) secondo cui per capire il presente, è necessario trovarne la genesi nel passato. Dopo aver inquadrato il pensiero di Alison nell’estetica Britannica settecentesca, il saggio mette a fuoco il concetto di “familiare” e quello di “adeguatezza allo scopo” e, tenendo conto delle chiavi ermeneutiche contemporanee sull’Everyday Aesthetics, traccia già in Alison l’insorgere di idee e riflessioni che aprono l’estetica alla vita di ogni giorno

Nueva era en el combate contra el cáncer: Evolución y cáncer: progreso y tratamiento de tumores

2013

L’oncohematologia ha assistit en les últimes dècades a importants avenços en el tractament i supervivència. La toxicitat derivada de la quimioteràpia clàssica i la necessitat de millorar l’eficàcia i tolerància als tractaments han fet que es desencadene un allau d’activitat investigadora que constantment proporciona fruits. Gran part d’aquest esforç s’ha enfocat al desenvolupament de «teràpies diana» dirigides contra determinades alteracions funcionals, clau per a la supervivència de la cèl·lula tumoral. Així es pretén aconseguir major eficàcia en el tractament i que el pacient pague un menor cost en toxicitat. Avenços en altres disciplines de l’oncologia com l’epidemiologia, la cirurgia i …

Eat or Be Eaten: Psychological and Bodily Violence in Michèle Roberts’s Reworking of Fairy-Tale Cannibalism

2014

This paper focuses on Robertsʼs counter-narrative “The Cookery Lesson” and the theme of fairy-tale cannibalism. While questioning the representation of the cannibalizing and the cannibalized bodies through the analysis of the sensuous language describing the desire-violence nexus, we shall take into account the ways in which the narrative form is affected in the passage from traditional fairy tale to contemporary short story, not only as concerns the representation of characters but also as regards the use of narrative voices and narrative strategies recalling the oral origins of fairy tales. At the same time, such formal choices critically re-contextualize source stories in a modern space-…

The King’s Lace Bug Recaredus rex Distant, 1909 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae): Systematic Position, First Palaearctic and Afrotropical Rec…

2022

The systematic position and actual distribution of Recaredus rex, for a long time one of the most enigmatic lace bug genus and species, is very obscure because only the type specimen and three other individuals from India are known to date. In the present paper, we report the first records of R. rex from the Palaearctic region (Iran) and tropical Africa (Ghana). Based on the occurrence localities and climatic variables, we predict potentially useful ecological niches for this species using Maxent software. The areas with the best environmental conditions for R. rex indicated in our studies suggest its possible Palaeotropical distribution. Moreover, we regard these results as a good starting…

Cibo, corporeità e spiritualità in Sante Impossibili di Michèle Roberts: la visione sovversiva del sacro pasto

2019

This paper takes into consideration the interconnections between, food, sexuality and spirituality which constitute the core of Michèle Roberts's novel Impossible Saints. We shall be focusing on the process of cannibalization of women's bodies, considering the term both in a metaphorical and in a literal sense with relation to the stories told in the novel. We shall examine the relationship between Roberts's "new" saints and food and the desecratory, macabre representations that the author offers of the sacred meal.

Isolation, characterization and determination of biotechnological potential of oil-degrading bacteria from Algerian centre coast

2019

Aims The Algerian coastline is exposed to several types of pollution, including hydrocarbons. The aim of this work was to isolate oil-degrading bacteria and to explore the intrinsic bioremediation potential of part of its contaminated harbour. Methods and results A collection of 119 strains, capable to grow on mineral medium supplemented with hydrocarbons, were obtained from polluted sediment and seawater collected from Sidi Fredj harbour (Algiers). Twenty-three strains were selected for further studies. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene showed that most isolates belong to genera of hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (Alcanivorax), generalist hydrocarbons degraders (Marinobacter, Pseudomonas, Gordo…

Biological and antibacterial properties of a new silver fiber post : in vitro evaluation

2016

Background The incorporation of nano silver particles (AgNPs) to improve antibacterial properties of dental materials has become increasingly common. The aim of the present study was to compare the antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity effects of different fiber posts: glass fiber post, quartz fiber post, nano fiber post and silver fiber post. Material and methods The antibacterial activity against S. mutans, S. salivarius and S. sanguis was evaluated by using the agar disc diffusion test (ADT). Four wells of 3x2 mm (one for each material) were made with a punch by removing the agar and filled with the materials to be evaluated. The size of the inhibition zone was calculated. An extract w…

Evaluation of holy basil mouthwash as an adjunctive plaque control agent in a four day plaque regrowth model

2014

Objectives: Various antibacterial and antiplaque agents are used in chemical plaque control but none are without their shortcomings. Chlorhexidine considered a gold standard, also has an array of side effects. To overcome these, numerous herbal extracts have been tried and tested and one among them is holy basil. The present study evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of holy basil in vitro against some periodontopathogens and its antiplaque ef fect in vivo. Study Design: Thirty periodontally healthy volunteers were randomly divided into three groups and refrained from all mechanical oral hygiene measures for 4 days and used one of the randomly assigned mouthwash (1- chlor - hexidine; 2- hol…
