Aldo Capitini e la riforma della scuola pubblica nell’Italia degli anni Sessanta

2018

Questo articolo ricostruisce gli anni della militanza del pedagogista italiano Aldo Capitini nell’ADESSPI (Associazione per la Difesa e per lo sviluppo della Scuola Pubblica). Dall’esame di diverse fonti, quali opere dell’autore (carteggi, dispense dei corsi universitari, volumi, articoli), pubblicazioni ministeriali, letteratura critica, ma anche pubblicazioni dell’associazione e degli altri soci dell’ADESSPI, è emerso il ruolo di primo piano che Capitini svolse all’interno del movimento di riforma della scuola italiana degli anni Sessanta, impegnandosi in prima persona nella progettazione e nella stesura delle sue linee programmatiche. I temi a cui egli dedicò maggiormente la sua militanz…

Redrawing as key to the spatial thought of Hana Kučerová Zaveská

2017

The paper analyzes two works of Hana Kučerová Zaveská, Czech architect and designer who has made an important contribution to the Modern Movement, dealing with social housing and social services and placing its emphasis on improving the status of women. His brief but intense activity is developed in Czechoslovakia in the period between the wars and is influenced by the architecture and art movements that occurred in the country during the twenties and thirties. In the footsteps of Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe, she creates furniture where functionality is combined with the elegance and in which we recognize the signature style of the designer, her innovative use of materials and produ…

Between looking back and moving ahead : an exploration of the role of the body and its movement in a music therapy case study

2017

We exist in this world through our bodies. Every single experience is stored in it, it helps us to communicate with others, relate and build meaningful relationships. However, when the connection to our experiences or the control over our body is disrupted by a traumatic experience or disease, we become disconnected from our genuine self and the world around us. Music therapy provides us with a space for integration – of painful or joyful memories, emotions, and our bodies. Especially in Western cultures this physical relationship to music is often neglected, even though music and dance probably developed simultaneously and are still very much the same in some African cultures. When we are …

Domestic resource mobilization by social movement organizations in Latin America : a case study of the Abrinq Foundation for children rights of Brazil

2008

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to study the feasibility and sustainability of mobilizing domestic resources to advance social movement causes in Latin America. The question is based on the understanding that Social Movement Organizations (SMO) can mobilize the resources –funds and labor- of domestic elite instances in order to favor their beneficiary bases. The thesis proposes a Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) approach and addresses various theoretical and practical concerns regarding the qualitative impact of that conception in the work of Social Movement Organizations. The specific focus of is centered on resource mobilization strategies and initiatives conducted by the SMO Abrin…

A novel microtubule de-stabilizing complementarity-determining region C36L1 peptide displays antitumor activity against melanoma in vitro and in vivo

2015

AbstractShort peptide sequences from complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of different immunoglobulins may exert anti-infective, immunomodulatory and antitumor activities regardless of the specificity of the original monoclonal antibody (mAb). In this sense, they resemble early molecules of innate immunity. C36L1 was identified as a bioactive light-chain CDR1 peptide by screening 19 conserved CDR sequences targeting murine B16F10-Nex2 melanoma. The 17-amino acid peptide is readily taken up by melanoma cells and acts on microtubules causing depolymerization, stress of the endoplasmic reticulum and intrinsic apoptosis. At low concentrations, C36L1 inhibited migration, invasion and proli…

Lovastatin inhibits Rho-regulated expression of E-selectin by TNFalpha and attenuates tumor cell adhesion.

2003

E-selectin mediated cell-cell adhesion plays an important role in inflammatory processes and extravasation of tumor cells. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induces E-selectin gene and protein expression in primary human endothelial cells (HUVEC) and in an endothelial cell line (EA.hy-926). As shown by ELISA and FACS analyses, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g., lovastatin) impair the TNF-alpha stimulated increase in E-selectin protein expression. Similar results were obtained for E-selectin mRNA expression and promoter activity, indicating that the effect of lovastatin is based on inhibition of gene expression. The effective inhibitory concentration of lovastatin was in a physiologic…

LAW AND SOCIAL CHANGE: RIGHT TO A NAME, PERSONAL IDENTITY AND PRIVATE LIFE IN CONTEXT

2014

The name is the key to identify a single individual and to link a person to her family, as well as the primary interface in the relationship between a person and the community he or she lives in. This study claims that private life and private autonomy are becoming interpretative arguments and vehicles to ensure that law would be able to follow – and sometimes to chase – social changes in personal and family life, in finding new rules to regulate the relationship between the individual, the family and public authorities or between a private individual and the community she interfaces with.1 Judicial interpretative activity often reveals legislative shortcomings. In particular, the judiciary…

Ruch pokojowy w RFN (Friedensbewegung) w pierwszej połowie lat osiemdziesiątych XX wieku

2017

W latach 80. XX wieku ruch pokojowy mobilizujący setki tysięcy osób w protestach przeciwko podwójnej uchwale NATO z grudnia 1979 r. był istotnym elementem zachodnioniemieckiej sceny politycznej. Wpływał na układ sił i konflikty wewnętrzne w socjaldemokracji niemieckiej (SPD), będąc największym oponentem polityki prowadzonej przez rząd kanclerza Helmuta Schmidta, przyczynił się do powstania Partii Zielonych, a jego działania doprowadziły do zaistnienia polemiki w związkach zawodowych i były bodźcem do dyskusji etycznych i religijnych w Kościele katolickim i protestanckim w RFN. Stał się również przedmiotem wielu kontrowersji oraz symbolem aktywności i siły społecznej.
