Age-related differences of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic transmission in human colonic smooth muscle.
2021
Background: Enteric neurons undergo to functional changes during aging. We investigated the possible age-associated differences in enteric γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic transmission evaluating function and distribution of GABAergic receptors in human colon. Methods: Mechanical responses to GABA and GABA receptor agonists on slow phasic contractions were examined in vitro as changes in isometric tension in colonic muscle strips from young (<65 years old) and aged patients (>65 years old). GABAergic receptor expression was assessed by quantitative RT-PCR. Key Results: In both preparations GABA induced an excitatory effect, consisting in an increase in the basal tone, antagonized by th…

2021
Ulota macrodontia Dusen ex Malta is an Andean-Patagonian epiphytic moss that has been misunderstood in recent times (Garilleti et al. 2016). This may be due partly to the fact that it is a rarely c...
Glen Philips: Western Australia's poet of the land and environment
2020
Artykuł ten nawiązuje do problematyki stosunkowo młodej gałęzi, jaka rozwinęła się w krytyce literackiej ostatnich dekad, tzw. ekokrytyki i jej obecności w literaturze australijskiej na przykładzie zachodnioaustralijskiego poety i krytyka Glena Philipsa (1936–), którego poezja jest ściśle związana ze środowiskiem naturalnym, w którym wzrastał i które zawsze inspirowało jego pisarstwo. Po skrótowym przedstawieniu historii ekokrytyki w USA, Europie i Australii autor, posługując się koncepcją pochodzenia dzieła sztuki niemieckiego filozofa Martina Heideggera, interpretuje wiersz Glena Philipsa pt. „In the Hollow of the Land”, widząc w nim egzemplifikację wspólnego rozumienia świata, jaki jest …

Perdere il senno e darsi la morte. Due casi singolari di punizione divina nelle Storie di Erodoto (V 85; VI, 75)
2016
Scopo di questo paper è l’analisi dei temi della follia e del suicidio nella struttura narrativa di Erodoto. I due episodi esaminati sono: a) il racconto della pazzia che colpì gli Ateniesi, che avevano tentato invano di sottrarre agli Egineti le sacre statue di Damia e Auxesia; b) la storia dei disaccordi tra i due re spartani Demarato e Cleomene e il loro tragico esito. Questi due episodi sono profondamente interconnessi: attraverso i rimandi interni, suggeriti dalle scelte linguistiche dello storico, noi vogliamo infine riflettere sul modello causale erodoteo. The aim of this paper is the analysis of the themes of madness and suicide in the narrative structure of Herodotus. Two episodes …
La battaglia di Himera nelle Storie di Erodoto e il sincronismo con Salamina
2022
The very short report of the battle of Himera given by Herodotus’ Histories seems to have the primary aim of supporting a widespread tradition among the inhabitants of Sicily (still circulating at the time when the historian lived) about the true reason preventing Gelon from siding with the Hellenic League against Persians: he was impelled to engage in the battle of Himera, which took place the very same day as the sea battle of Salamis. No celebratory intent emerges from the account of Gelon’s and Theron’s victory over the Carthaginians, since Herodotus wants to report all the versions known to him about the explanations given to Gelon’s refusal to join the Hellenic League; there is no roo…
