Femme et dame de courtoisie dans les manuscrits enluminés en France aux xive et xve siècles
2020
Femme et dame de courtoisie ne sont guère semblables, malgré la confusion visuelle que leur mise en image engendre parfois. Il est donc essentiel de comprendre quelles modulations et répétitions visuelles utilisent les artistes de la fin du Moyen Âge pour représenter ces deux figures féminines. L’image de la dame est-elle également représentative de la place de la femme dans la société du Moyen Âge tardif ? En effet, la première est un personnage historique, rattaché à une réalité aristocrati...
Macrobiotus naginae sp. nov., a New Xerophilous Tardigrade Species from Rokua Sand Dunes (Finland)
2022
Animals that colonize soil show specific adaptations to soil. Compared to closely related species living on the surface, the limbs of soil-dwelling animals are often shortened, reduced, or absent to allow a less restricted passage through cavities between soil particles. This pattern of limb reduction has also been observed in tardigrades, where multiple lineages that colonized the below-ground habitat show independent reduction and/or loss of legs and claws. In the tardigrade superfamily Macrobiotoidea, leg and claw reductions are a common trait found in the Macrobiotus pseudohufelandi complex. This rarely found species complex currently contains four nominal taxa. Here we describe, with t…
Dalla traditio pecuniae ai pagamenti digitali
2018
La monografia “Dalla traditio pecuniae ai pagamenti digitali” indaga le tensioni evolutive che – vuoi per la digitalizzazione degli strumenti di circolazione dei capitali, vuoi per i recenti interventi normativi in tema di pagamento con moneta non contante e, in particolare, la disciplina europea dei servizi e delle operazioni di pagamento di cui alla direttiva UE 2015/2366 e la normativa interna di attuazione – agitano la materia delle obbligazioni pecuniarie. Dalla messa a sistema di queste regole il volume mira a verificare l’emersione di un nuovo paradigma dell’«adempimento (necessariamente) intermediato» dell’obbligazione pecuniaria, retto da principi e logiche autonome rispetto al mod…
IL JOBS ACT DEI LAVORATORI AUTONOMI E LE STRATEGIE DI TUTELA DEL CONTRAENTE DEBOLE NEI RAPPORTI “B2B”: IL METICCIAMENTO DELLE REGOLE COME PRELUDIO A …
2018
Il saggio analizza gli aspetti di interesse prettamente civilistico del cosiddetto "Jobs Act dei lavoratori autonomi" (legge 22 maggio 2017, n. 81), mettendo in evidenza le novità in tema di strategie di tutela del contraente debole-lavoratore autonomo con specifico riferimento all'inserimento di clausole abusive nei contratti ricadenti sotto il suo ambito di operatività e all'abuso di dipendenza economica, e segnalando i tratti di continuità dello strumentario scelto con soluzioni proprie della legislazione consumeristica, nell'ottica di una possibile convergenza tra discipline .
Expanding Acutuncus : Phylogenetics and morphological analyses reveal a considerably wider distribution for this tardigrade genus
2023
The tardigrade genus Acutuncus has been long thought to be an Antarctic endemism, well adapted to this harsh environment. The Antarctic endemicity of Acutuncus was recently dispelled with the description of Acutuncus mariae Zawierucha, 2020 found in the Svalbard archipelago. The integrated analyses on two newly found Acutuncus populations from UK and Italy, and a population of Acutuncus antarcticus found close to its type locality allowed us to expand the climatic and geographic range of the genus Acutuncus. These findings also allowed us to re-evaluate the morphological diagnoses of Acutuncus and accommodate it in the newly proposed monotypic family Acutuncidae fam. nov. Two new Acutuncus …
The toughest animals of the Earth versus global warming: Effects of long-term experimental warming on tardigrade community structure of a temperate d…
2021
Abstract Understanding how different taxa respond to global warming is essential for predicting future changes and elaborating strategies to buffer them. Tardigrades are well known for their ability to survive environmental stressors, such as drying and freezing, by undergoing cryptobiosis and rapidly recovering their metabolic function after stressors cease. Determining the extent to which animals that undergo cryptobiosis are affected by environmental warming will help to understand the real magnitude climate change will have on these organisms. Here, we report on the responses of tardigrades within a five‐year‐long, field‐based artificial warming experiment, which consisted of 12 open‐to…
Desiccation risk favours prevalence and diversity of tardigrade communities and influences their trophic structure in alpine ephemeral rock pools
2022
AbstractRock pools are ephemeral freshwater habitats characterized by their small size, well-defined boundaries, and periodic desiccation, making them ideal model systems to answer numerous ecological questions. Although there are numerous studies on rock pool fauna around the world, tardigrades have only rarely been recorded. We conducted the first tardigrade-focused study on rock pools by quantitatively extracting and classifying them from rock pools in the Italian Apennines. Rock pools were divided into three types, based on maximum duration of their inundation period. Following the patterns usually observed with rock pool invertebrates, we tested the hypothesis that desiccation has a ne…
Angst als Textspur und Bildspur in Graphic Novels zum historischen Geschehen des 20. Jahrhunderts
2020
Neben vielen anderen Charakterisierungen, etwa ‚Jahrhundert der Diktatoren‘, ist für das 20. Jahrhundert wahrscheinlich auch die Formulierung ‚Jahrhundert der Angst‘ gerechtfertigt. Dieser Beitrag ist ein erster Versuch, die Darstellung von Angst in verbal-piktoralen Narrativen zu erschließen. Text- und Bildspuren zu Angst – politisch genutzte Techniken der Angsterzeugung einerseits und bis zu dauerhafter Traumatisierung gehende Angsterfahrung andererseits – sind in vielen Graphic Novels zur Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts ein wesentliches Deutungsangebot. Obwohl ästhetisch und intellektuell anspruchsvoll, somit ein Angebot zur Aufarbeitung von Geschichte, ist diese Fokussierung von Angst d…
Olanzepine-induced tardive dyskinesia
2003
Tardive dyskinesia is a serious and common motor side-effect of treatment with traditional neuroleptics, with an unknown pathophysiological basis. It affects 20-30% of patients on long-term neuroleptic therapy, with elderly patients being at higher risk ( [American Psychiatric Association, 1994][1
Trigeminal Meningioma in a Patient with Tardive Dyskinesia as Only Symptom
2018
Most meningiomas are benign, encapsulated tumors (95% of the cases), generally undergoing a limited number of genetic aberrations. We present the case of a 74-year-old patient with no significant pathological history, who is admitted to the neurology ward for orofacial dyskinesias accompanied by hypoesthesia in the left hemiface, a symptomatology that had started insidiously about two months before and worsened progressively over the past 3 weeks. A cerebral MRI was performed which revealed a small mass with discrete T2 hyperintensity and T1 iso-signal compared to the gray matter located in the left pontine cistern, with a large, well-defined base at the level of the cerebral tentorium. The…
