Retorica Vivente. Un approccio retorico alla filosofia del linguaggio.
2015
Starting from some suggestions from Living Thought. The Origins and Actuality of Italian Philosophy (R. Esposito, 2010), this paper sustains that rhetoric can be a fruitful way of doing philosophy of language. According to Esposito, one of the main characteristics of the so called italian thought is the focus on the necessary connection between language and extra-linguistic world. In this article I argue that rhetoric, thanks to its extra-linguistic aim (persuasion), pays particular attention to this connection. This attitude involves many important consequences such as: 1. considering speakers and listeners as essential components of speech and not as its external users; 2. assigning a key…
Separaxion anxiety in pediatric migraine without aura: A pilot study
2017
Background: Separation anxiety (SA) can be defined as the fear reaction and protest manifested by children when the main caregivers move away from him/her or in front of unfamiliar person. SA near eight months may be considered as an important and normal phase of the correct and typical social neurodevelopment. Aims of the present pilot study is assessing the prevalence of separation anxiety in a population of patients with migraine without aura (MwA). Materials and methods: 119 children (69 males) suffering from MwA (mean age 1.78 ± 7:59) were consecutively recruited. The control population consisted of 231 (114 males) healthy subjects similar for age (7.64 ± 1:34; p = 0.768) and gender (p…
Salivary levels of Tumour Necrosis Factor-alpha in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis
2010
Objetives: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common pathology of the oral mucosa with a complex and multifactorial etiology. Tumour Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF?) is a cytokine with an important but not well-known role in the development of new lesions in RAS patients. Modifications of salivary levels of TNF? in RAS patients during the active periods of the disease have been measured in this work. The possible implication of TNF? in RAS etiology is also discussed. Study design: The study group was composed of 20 patients previously diagnosed with RAS and randomly selected. As a control group 10 healthy patients were also randomly selected. In both groups a TNF? assessment was carried o…
Salivary levels of IgE and ECP in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis
2019
Background Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common oral mucosa disease, with no specific etiology. Atopy has been implicated in the development of this disease. In this study, the salivary levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) were measured as allergy-related biomarkers in patients with aphthous stomatitis. Material and Methods In this case-control study, non-stimulated saliva was collected from 85 participants and IgE and ECP were measured. Data were analyzed in SPSS 20 through the Mann-Whitney test, and p<0.05 was considered significant. Results The salivary levels of IgE and ECP were 1.11±0.65 Iu/ml and 26.93±6.95 ng/ml in the case group and 0.73±0/39 I…
Metilazione del DNA in artrite reumatoide
2005
Lo stato di metilazione del DNA genomico e del gene PTHrP è stato valutato con tecniche molecolari e citogenetiche in artrite reumatoide (AR), patologia autoimmune caratterizzata anche da alta incidenza di linfomi e da ipercalcemia per overespressione del gene PTHrP. La metilazione del DNA, infatti, ha un ruolo critico nello sviluppo delle malattie neoplastiche; il gene PTHrP avendo tre promotori uno dei quali contiene un’isola CpG è un buon candidato per la deregolazione da alterato pattern di metilazione locale. Le indagini sulla metilazione genomica, condotte su DNA estratto da sangue periferico di pazienti e di donatori e amplificato in reazioni di Methylation-Sensitive Arbitrarily Prim…
The Maifinito phenomenon. Confession, Forgiveness, and Healing: “condoni” and“sanatoria”, Isabella Fera in Conversation with Arno Brandlhuber
2016
The book Maifinito featured essays, projects, and a selection of “international artistic, social and architectural experiences,” all of which centered around the “fenomeno del maifinito,”1 the maifinito phenomenon—in other words, the enormous number of unfinished buildings in southern Italy, and especially on the island of Sicily. Many of these buildings, so-called maifiniti, have been constructed entirely outside the legislative framework—a phenomenon that perfectly encapsulates the relationship in Italy between construction, the public vs. private realm, the state, and legislation. In December 2015, Arno Brandlhuber met Isabella Fera in Palermo for a wide-ranging discussion.
Inner speech for a self-conscious robot
2018
The experience self-conscious thinking in the verbose form of inner speech is a common one. Such a covert dialogue accompanies the introspection of mental life and fulfills important roles in our cognition, such as self-regulation, self-restructuring, and re-focusing on attentional resources. Although the functional underpinning and the phenomenology of inner speech are largely investigated in psychological and philosophical fields, robotic research generally does not address such a form of self-conscious behavior. Existing models of inner speech inspire computational tools to provide the robot with a form of self-consciousness. Here, the most widespread psychological models of inner speech…
Diritti e principi nello spazio giuridico europeo dei diritti fondamentali: un aspetto dell’esperienza costituzionale
2020
La Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Unione europea e le sue interrelazioni con le Costituzioni nazionali hanno dato origine ad una giurisprudenza della Corte di Lussemburgo e delle Corti costituzionali sui rapporti fra la Carta e le Costituzioni degli Stati, che mira a definire e a contemperare i tratti caratteristici dell’identità costituzionale degli Stati membri. Il punto di sintesi fra identità costituzionale nazionale e patrimonio costituzionale europeo racchiuso nella Carta sono le tradizioni costituzionali comuni degli Stati membri. Queste ultime, com’è noto, sono strumento d’interpretazione della Carta, dunque, veicolo per definire la portata e gli effetti della stessa Carta. Qui…
Prospettive di riforma della tutela penale dell'ambiente nel diritto europeo e sovranazionale
2021
Il saggio descrive le prospettive di riforma della normativa penale ambientale, di recente delineatesi tanto a livello internazionale, quanto in ambito europeo. Pur non spingendosi sino a prevedere i possibili esiti delle dinamiche in corso, il contributo non rinuncia ad analizzarne luci ed ombre, anche alla luce delle difficoltà di tipizzazione delle fattispecie incriminatrici determinata dalla particolare complessità della materia ambientale.
Desobediencia civil y teoría del derecho Tomar los conflictos en serio
2016
El tema de la desobediencia civil se centra en una de las cuestiones clásicas de la filosofía del derecho, como es aquella de la obligatoriedad de la ley injusta. Sin embargo, hoy en día, las prácticas de desobediencia civil plantean también otras cuestiones, que se debaten de forma polémica, como la tesis de la «separabilidad» entre el derecho y la moral y la naturaleza de la interpretación jurídica de los documentos normativos que tienen un contenido vago y ambiguo, como es el caso de la Constitución Italiana o la Española. En particular, analizamos el caso de las prácticas de desobediencia de carácter público y no violento que violan algunas normas con la finalidad de denunciar no sólo s…
