Sul concetto di oikeiotes nelle relazioni interstatali greche
2007
Lo studio è incentrato sul significato e sulla funzione dei termini di parentela nelle relazioni diplomatiche greche per esprimere la presenza di legami particolarmente stretti tra città e popoli. In particolare, viene concentrata l’attenzione sul termine oikeiotes, che indica generalmente un rapporto di “familiarità” tra comunità non appartenenti allo stesso ethnos, sebbene talvolta venga adoperato anche con un significato sovrapponibile alla nozione di syngeneia, con la quale si esprimevano le più strette relazioni di parentela tra città e popoli ritenuti discendenti da un medesimo capostipite. Al fine di delimitare con più chiarezza i campi semantici di entrambi i concetti, si sono presi…
Effect of 18:3 n-3 geometrical isomers of heated linseed oll on the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid in rat
1990
Abstract The influence of dietary heated linseed oil on the fatty acid composition of rat liver, platelet and plasma phospholipids (PL) with particular reference to the metabolism of linoleic acid (18:2 n-6) were studied. Δ6 and Δ5 desaturase activities and fatty acid composition of hepatic microsomal total lipids (TL) also were determined. Two groups of male weanling rats were fed, for 6 weeks, diets containing 10% (in weight) of a fresh linseed oil (LO group) and of a heated linseed oil (HLO group). The contents of geometrical isomers of linolenic acid (18:3 n-3) were high in the oil heated at 240°C for 10 hours. The pattern of arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6) in the different lipid fractions …
Mediterranean spotted fever: clinical and laboratory characteristics of 415 Sicilian children
2006
Abstract Background Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) is an acute febrile, zoonotic disease caused by Rickettsia conorii and transmitted to humans by the brown dogtick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Nearly four hundred cases are reported every year (mainly from June to September) on the Italian island of Sicily. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with MSF and the efficacy of the drugs administered. Methods Our study was carried out on 415 children with MSF, during the period January 1997 – December 2004, at the "G. Di Cristina" Children's hospital in Palermo, Sicily, Italy.

"Thérèse Raquin" d'Émile Zola : la notion de tempérament entre l'héritage antique et l'apport de la physiologie du XIXe siècle
2020
Therese Raquin, Zola’s first important work, is based on the modern version of the old physiological theory of “temperaments”, e.g. the combination of four cardinal “humours” that determine a man’s physical and mental constitution. Through the story of two murderers, an adulterous woman and her lover who kill the woman’s husband, the author shows the mutual influence of two temperaments considered in the 19th century as more important than all the others: sanguine and melancholic (or nervous). The novel intends to “verify” a theory dealing with the consequences of each type of temperament for people’s behaviour, their relationships and their internal life.
