Anna Dziembowska: "Zagadnienie zła u Słowackiego". Przyczynek do eksplikacji okrucieństwa w "Królu-Duchu"
2020
The obsession with bodily decomposition, the destruction of matter, life manifested in the images of rotting, dead bodies, vermin, brutal murders and crimes, resulting from the existence in the world of evil, are within the imagination and stylistic expression of many of Slowacki’s works. After the transfiguration of the poet these horrors of the destruction of matter do not disappear from his works, on the contrary, they are multiplied, compounded. The procession of the Kings- Spirits through history is shown here as painful, marked by suffering. Hence there are so many horrors here, ugliness, death - evil. How do we explain its existence in the world of Słowacki? It has been written about…
Drivers’ experiences during floods: Investigating the psychological influences underpinning decisions to avoid driving through floodwater
2018
Abstract A major risk factor for many flood-related drownings is driving through floodwater. We aimed to understand Australian drivers’ experiences and beliefs with respect to avoid driving through floodwater using the theory of planned behaviour as a framework. Study 1 (N = 23) used a qualitative design to gain an in-depth understanding of individuals’ experiences with driving through floodwater. Study 2 (N = 157) used a survey-based design to identify the factors related to this behaviour including knowledge, beliefs, and social-cognitive factors. In Study 1, drivers identified a range of advantages (e.g., didn’t damage car), disadvantages (e.g., inconvenient, but not so terrible), barrie…

Longitudinal Gait Analysis of a Transfemoral Amputee Patient: Single-Case Report from Socket-Type to Osseointegrated Prosthesis
2023
The aim of the present case report was to provide a longitudinal functional assessment of a patient with transfemoral amputation from the preoperative status with socket-type prosthesis to one year after the osseointegration surgery. A 44 years-old male patient was scheduled for osseointegration surgery 17 years after transfemoral amputation. Gait analysis was performed through 15 wearable inertial sensors (MTw Awinda, Xsens) before surgery (patient wearing his standard socket-type prosthesis) and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups after osseointegration. ANOVA in Statistical Parametric Mapping was used to assess the changes in amputee and sound limb hip and pelvis kinematics. The gait symm…
Attività anti-proliferativa di derivati di organostagno(IV) con Na-Boc-Ornitina e studio dell’azione pro-apoptotica del derivato Ph3Sn(Boc- Orn)
2013
Nuovi composti di organostagno(IV) [R3SnL e R¢2SnL2 (R = Me, Ph e R¢= Me, nBu, HL= Na-Boc-Ornitina)] sono stati sintetizzati e caratterizzati sia allo stato solido (FT-IR) che in soluzione (1H e 13C NMR) per poterne valutare la citotossicità in linee cellulari tumorali [1]. Na-Boc-Ornitina si comporta come un legante chelante dello stagno con il gruppo carbossilato, mentre il gruppo amminico Na-protetto è esente dalla coordinazione. I composti sono stati testati per l’attività citotossica in vitro su cellule neoplastiche umane HepG2 di epatocarcinoma ed MCF7 di cancro al seno. L’effetto dei composti, nel range da 0.5 a 25 μM, dopo 24 h di incubazione è stato valutato mediante saggio MTT. Il…
Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
Metabolic Changes in Tumor Microenvironment: How Could They Affect γδ T Cells Functions?
2021
The metabolic changes that occur in tumor microenvironment (TME) can influence not only the biological activity of tumor cells, which become more aggressive and auto sustained, but also the immune response against tumor cells, either producing ineffective responses or polarizing the response toward protumor activity. γδ T cells are a subset of T cells characterized by a plasticity that confers them the ability to differentiate towards different cell subsets according to the microenvironment conditions. On this basis, we here review the more recent studies focused on altered tumor metabolism and γδ T cells, considering their already known antitumor role and the possibility of manipulating th…

Unità e paradosso. Un événement de l’âme?
2020
La sura 112 inizia con il pronome huwa (egli) e rivela l'unità assoluta e inaccessibile di Dio. Il tawḥīd è l'atto di fede fondato sulla rivelazione del pronome dell'assente e rischia di essere un monoteismo paradossale. Per il trinitarismo la relazione è sostanziale, esclusa dal monoteismo assoluto islamico che per superare il paradosso necessita della teofania docetica. Henri Corbin si rivolge a questa dottrina extra-ipostatica e fonda la mediazione Dio-uomo esclusivamente sullʼascesa dellʼuomo mediante uccessive teofanie. Questa antropologia è unʼimamologia modellata sulla cristologia angelomorfica e nega la salvezza mediante la croce. La radice del docetismo è divelta dallʼunione iposta…
Los derechos de los animales: una visión global del Derecho Animal, ejemplificada con un estudio de caso.
2018
En el siguiente trabajo se pretende dar una visión global del Derecho Animal, se han analizado las corrientes filosóficas actuales, partiendo de diferentes autores y sus ideas en materia de animalismo que han tenido a lo largo de la historia. La postura animalista actual tiene un movimiento predecesor, llamado el Ecologismo, el cual también se analizará, con la finalidad de un entendimiento más profundo de la actualidad filosófica. Como se verá el valor moral va a tener una importancia relevante en este tema, y por ello se ha reflexionado en ese aspecto, los derechos morales y los derechos legales son un punto importante que se ha desarrollado como consecuencia del análisis previo de las te…
