Una teoria pragmatica del diritto

2012

Il saggio prende in esame la teoria del diritto costituzionalista di Luigi Ferrajoli. Nel criticare le teorie del diritto anglosassoni, che vanno oggi per la maggiore, l'autore sottolinea l'utilità di una teoria pragmatica del diritto che sia adeguata all'esperienza giuridica del mondo latino. Una teoria che stabilisca una certa connessione tra diritto e morale e riconosca il ruolo che nel diritto hanno i principi, da sottoporre a bilanciamento, oltre alle regole. Il ruolo dei principi rende manifesto che nel diritto sono importanti non soltanto i riferimenti all'autorità, ma anche ai valori morali.

An elongation factor-like protein (EF-Tu) elicits a humoral response in infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas: an immunoproteomics investigation.

2011

Abstract Objectives In the current study, we have used an immunoproteomics approach to identify proteins that commonly elicit a humoral response in patients with infiltrating ductal carcinomas of the breast. Design and methods Sera obtained at the time of diagnosis from 40 patients with invasive breast cancer and 42 healthy controls were screened for the presence of IgG antibodies to MCF-7 cell line proteins using a serological proteomics-based approach. Results An immunoreactive protein detected in sera from 21 of 40 patients was isolated and subsequently identified as elongation factor-Tu. Conclusions The immunoproteomic approach implemented here offers a powerful tool for determining nov…

Proteomics of Galápagos Marine Iguanas Links Function of Femoral Gland Proteins to the Immune System

2020

Femoral glands secrete a wax-like substance on the inner side of lizard hind legs, which is thought to function as a mode of chemical communication. Though the minor volatile fraction is well studied, the major protein fraction remains enigmatic. Here, we use proteomics to analyze proteins in femoral gland secretions of the Galápagos marine iguana. Although we found no evidence for proteins and peptides involved in chemical communication, we found several immune-regulatory proteins which also demonstrate anti-microbial functions. Accordingly, we show that femoral gland proteins and peptides function as a barrier against microbial infection and may prevent the rapid degradation of volatile s…

Il discorso sui 'metalla' fra ideologia, poetica e retorica. Da Cicerone a Prudenzio

2002

L'articolo mira a ricostruire, attraverso un percorso per sondaggi e campioni, l'ampio dibattito sviluppato dalla cultura latina intorno al tema dello sfruttamento delle risorse minerarie in un arco di tempo che va dalla tarda repubblica al V secolo d. C. Analizzando una serie di testi appartenenti ad epoche, generi ed autori diversi (Cicerone, Ovidio, Manilio, Seneca, Lucano, Silio Italico, Tiberiano, Prudenzio) si pone in luce la natura eminentemente etico-culturale, e assai spesso moralistica, dell'interesse mostrato dagli scrittori latini per questo tipo di tematiche. Al contempo, tuttavia, si segnala un significativo slittamento prospettico nelle varie fasi della storia culturale roman…

Desafiaments interdisciplinars i socials de la psicologia moral contemporània: obertura i reflexivitat

2017

Les relacions entre la Psicologia Moral i la Filosofia Moral han sigut motiu de diverses i importants reflexions. Per a Piaget i Kohlberg, la col· laboració entre ambdues disciplines era tan lògica com important; però junt al declivi dels seus enfocaments, s’han plantejat preocupacions sobre les conseqüències negatives d’un excés apropament entre ambdues especialitats, així com exhortacions a reafirmar l’autonomia de la Psicologia Moral front la Filosofia, amb «més psicologia». Diagnòstic i tractament amb què no tots els comentaris concorden. Després de passar revisió, esquemàticament, al curs del dit debat, aquí es conclou amb la proposa de què s’hi conceba i pros· seguisca en termes més a…

P-Value, Confidence Intervals, and Statistical Inference: A New Dataset of Misinterpretation

2017

Statistical inference is essential for science since the twentieth century (Salsburg, 2001). Since it's introduction into science, the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), in which the P-value serves as the index of “statistically significant,” is the most widely used statistical method in psychology (Sterling et al., 1995; Cumming et al., 2007), as well as other fields (Wasserstein and Lazar, 2016). However, surveys consistently showed that researchers in psychology may not able to interpret P-value and related statistical procedures correctly (Oakes, 1986; Haller and Krauss, 2002; Hoekstra et al., 2014; Badenes-Ribera et al., 2016). Even worse, these misinterpretations of P-value …

The treatment of madness in Spain in the second half of the 19th century: conceptual aspects.

2006

This paper deals with the conceptual principles which governed the treatment of madness in Spain during the nineteenth century. Against the general view that treatments were targeted to diseases, we argue that clinicians were more syndrome-oriented than disease-oriented in their treatments. Mental syndromes were classified into groups according to the different treatments that were thought to be useful. We also describe the conceptual basis of moral treatment and study the correlation between somatic and mental disease in relation to treatment.

The Centered Reality

2016

This paper discusses the criticism of naturalism based on the irreducibility of first-person-perspective facts. This critique considers naturalism insufficient since it proposes the view of reality as a centerless dimension. However, simply reintegrating subjective facts into a naturalistic view of reality we eventually produce a split situation in which conscious and self-conscious forms of life require a special consideration, thus appearing as separated from the whole of reality. In order to overcome what turns out to be a dualistic interpretation of reality, this paper considers Helmuth Plessner’s non-naturalistic approach. It elaborates the notion of positionality and aspectivity as ch…
