Tra biografia ed elogio funebre. Le principesse Medicee (sec. XVI)
Authors: Fubini Leuzzi Maria 
Published: April 2018

Questo saggio si propone di dimostrare quale peso abbia avuto l’elogio funebre, per il genere biografico riferito a donne di vita secolare di età moderna. Tale componimento retorico apparve a Roma nel I secolo a. C., per ricordare matrone illustri, ma passò alla tradizione, per avere avuto origine nel IV secolo, quando per i loro meriti civili le matrone romane ebbero, come gli uomini, l’onore dell’orazione funerale pubblica. In Italia soltanto in età rinascimentale questo uso venne riproposto, per ricordare in occasione delle esequie principesse o regine di cui si esaltavano il genos
proprio e del marito, la terra di origine e le virtù, retoricamente definite. Tale genere di orazione riferita ad un soggetto concreto poteva suscitare il pathos del ricordo solo menzionando note biografiche di colei che si intendeva elogiare. Di qui il legame con le biografie vere e proprie. Firenze fu la capitale letteraria anche di questo genere e prima ancora che F. Bonciani ne teorizzasse le caratteristiche, l’ambiente politico-culturale patrocinato dai Medici promosse la composizione di un notevole numero di elogi funebri delle sue principesse fra il 1540 e il 1580. Qui si presenta un’analisi delle composizioni scritte e lette fra gli altri da B. Varchi, P. Vettori, G. B. Adriani.
Ceramica figurata siceliota dalla città e dalla Chora di Adranon. Documenti e riflessioni
Authors: Barresi Sebastiano 
Published: April 2018

La recente riorganizzazione del Museo regionale di Adrano (Catania) ed il conseguente programma di studio dei reperti archeologici lì conservati avviato ormai da qualche anno dalla sezione archeologica della Soprintendenza ai BB. CC. AA. di Catania ha consentito, tra gli altri risultati, di isolare un certo numero di vasi e frammenti figurati sicelioti di IV secolo a. C. rinvenuti nella città e nel territorio dell’antica
Adranon. L’analisi stilistica di tali ceramiche, oggetto dello studio, ed il loro inquadramento nel contesto storico-archeologico di Adrano permettono di offrire non solo nuovi dati utili all’ «archeologia » del centro etneo, ma anche un piccolo ma interessante contributo a quel riesame del fenomeno ceramografico siceliota auspicato già dallo stesso Arthur Dale Trendall nell’ormai lontano 1983.
Représentations architecturales de la peinture pompéienne. Evolution de la pensée archéologique
Authors: Fragaki Hélène 
Published: April 2018

Les représentations architecturales des systèmes décoratifs pompéiens ont fait l’objet d’un débat complexe. Après avoir longtemps recherché le lieu de naissance de ces systèmes tantôt en Italie même, tantôt en Égypte, en Syrie, en Asie Mineure ou en Macédoine, on a été amené à accepter l’existence de précurseurs variés, aussi bien en Orient qu’en Occident, dans l’architecture et la peinture de la
koiné hellénistico-romaine, marquées par un illusionnisme de plus en plus poussé. Les constructions fictives des fresques étant en grande partie imaginaires, les édifices réels qui leur ont été rapprochés, scènes théâtrales, palais ou maisons, proposés initialement comme des modèles fidèlement reproduits, ont fini par être considérés plutôt comme de vagues sources d’inspiration. Dans cet univers architectural fantastique, on a vu parfois de simples trompe-l’oeil, mais aussi des reflets d’un «monde meilleur » , inaccessible et sublime. On y a décelé également des croyances religieuses, des doctrines philosophiques et des idéologies politiques.

Authors: Brugnone Antonietta , Vassallo Stefano 
Published: April 2018

Le campagne di scavo condotte dalla Soprintendenza ai beni culturali e ambientali di Palermo nella necropoli di Pestavecchia, sita a Est della foce del fiume Imera settentrionale, hanno riportato alla luce 438 anfore commerciali riadoperate come
enchytrismoi. Si tratta di anfore databili tra la fine del VII e l’inizio del V secolo a. C, riconducubili ai principali centri di produzione del Mediterraneo. Il restauro del 50% delle anfore ha consentito di individuare la presenza su 43 esemplari di «iscrizioni » incise o dipinte che sono presentate in questa sede.
La inscripcion pavimental con litterae aureae y la arquitectura del teatro romano de Spoleto
Authors: Monterroso Checa Antonio , Gorostidi Diana 
Published: April 2018

Se parte del estudio del fragmento de inscripción monumental para letras de bronce conservado en el pavimento de la orchestra del teatro de Spoleto. Del texto sólo se conserva la palabra podiu[ m– – –], pero la excepcionalidad del material de soporte elegido, mármol de Teos, así como la calidad de la incisión, destinada a litterae caelatae, denotan sus connotaciones áulicas, hasta el punto relacionarse con una «commitenza » vinculada con el círculo augusteo. La gens Calvisia, oriunda de Spoleto, detenta en dicho momento el mayor poder en la ciudad, especialmente a partir del cónsul C. Calvisius Sabinus.
El análisis epigráfico replantea una nueva lectura del edificio, que incide en sus características arquitectónicas y resalta su inserción entre los teatros augusteos centroitálicos construidos según el modelo teatral del Campo de Marte. Se deduce que el teatro spoletino fue proyectado a la vanguardia, pero en su construcción pudo más el diseño arquitectónico que las facilidades del emplazamiento elegido, lo que condicionó su vida estructural.
A proposito di un’epigrafe sepolcrale da Selinunte
Authors: Brugnone Antonietta 
Published: April 2018

Si presenta un’iscrizione sepolcrale databile intorno alla metà del VI secolo a. C., rinvenuta nel 1997 nella necropoli selinuntina di Galera-Bagliazzo. La collocazione all’interno della tomba non trova confronti in ambito selinuntino, mentre l’alfabeto e la formula con oimoi
e il vocativo del nome del defunto sono tipici di Selinunte.
Une proposition d’identification du toponyme Lucos sur la Tabula Peutingeriana : le sanctuaire de Méfitis à Rossano di Vaglio?
Authors: De Cazanove Olivier 
Published: April 2018

Sur la Table de Peutinger apparaît le toponyme Lucos,
en Italie du Sud, à 12 milles de Potenza. Il conserve le souvenir d’un sanctuaire qu’on propose d’identifier ici avec le lieu de culte de Méfitis à Rossano di Vaglio. Diverses hypothèses de restitution des itinéraires antiques
Potentia-Venusia sont proposées, qui toutes amènent à placer la station Lucos à proximité du Monte Macchia di Rossano (la plus satisfaisante au «Bivio di Tricarico» , important carrefour à 18 km de Potenza où se trouve encore aujourd’hui l’accès au sanctuaire de Méfitis). On pourrait par ailleurs mettre en rapport ce toponyme Lucos avec le lucus primordial dans lequel les Lucaniens étaient censés s’être établis, non bien sûr pour historiciser indûment un récit légendaire, mais pour comprendre comment ils ont pu se représenter leur établissement originel comme un sanctuaire prenant la forme d’un bois sacré.
Le pape et les devoirs de sa charge dans les projets de Réforme autour du concile de Latran V
Authors: Schmitz Benoit 
Published: April 2018

En réexaminant les projets de réforme du début des années 1510, cet article voudrait mettre en lumière le discours sur la papauté comme office spirituel. Moins connue que l’idéal du bon évêque ou que l’idéal impérial, cette conception fait du bon exercice par le pontife de son pouvoir plénier le vecteur de l’avènement sur la terre du royaume de Dieu. L’étude se concentre tout particulièrement sur le cas du Libellus ad Leonem X
adressé au pape en 1513 par Giustiniani et Quirini. Cet article étudie en premier lieu les attentes qui se portent sur le vicaire du Christ. Il se propose de montrer ensuite que le pouvoir du pontife est défini essentiellement comme un pouvoir pastoral : la plenitudo potestatis a pour finalité le salut des âmes. Il explique enfin comment l’insistance mise sur les devoirs du souverain pontife vise à distinguer radicalement son pouvoir de l’imperium terrestre des princes séculiers. La conclusion tente de cerner l’influence et les limites de cet idéal d’une papauté spirituelle.
A new western Canadian record of Epeoloides pilosulus (Cresson), with discussion of ecological associations, distribution and conservation status in Canada
Authors: Sheffield Cory , Heron Jennifer 
Published: April 2018

Epeoloides pilosulus, one of the rarest bees in North America, is a cleptoparasite of Macropis bees which themselves are uncommon oligoleges of oil-producing Lysimachia flowers. Only two specimens of the cleptoparasite have been reported from Canada since the 1960s, both from Nova Scotia.
A recently collected specimen of Epeoloides pilosulus from Alberta, Canada confirms this species from that province and greatly increases its known range in western North America. This record and additional specimens from southern Ontario (one collected in 1978) have implications for the conservation status of this COSEWIC assessed species in Canada, which are discussed.
Contribution of Neuromuscular Factors to Quadriceps Asymmetry After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Authors: Johnson Alexa K. , Palmieri-Smith Riann M. , Lepley Lindsey K. 
Published: April 2018

Context: To quantify quadriceps weakness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), researchers have often analyzed only peak torque. However, analyzing other characteristics of the waveform, such as the rate of torque development (RTD), time to peak torque (TTP), and central activation ratio (CAR), can lend insight into the underlying neuromuscular factors that regulate torque development.Objective: To determine if interlimb neuromuscular asymmetry was present in patients with ACLR at the time of clearance to return to activity.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Laboratory.Patients or Other Participants: A total of 10 individuals serving as controls (6 men, 4 women; age = 23.50 ± 3.44 years, height = 1.73 ± 0.09 m, mass = 71.79 ± 9.91 kg) and 67 patients with ACLR (43 men, 24 women; age = 21.34 ± 5.73 years, height = 1.74 ± 0.11 m, mass = 77.85 ± 16.03 kg, time postsurgery = 7.52 ± 1.36 months) participated.Main Outcome Measure(s): Isokinetic (60°/s) and isometric quadriceps strength were measured. Peak torque, TTP, and RTD were calculated across isometric and isokinetic trials, and CAR was calculated from the isometric trials via the superimposed burst. Repeated-measures analyses of variance were used to compare limbs in the ACLR and control groups.Results: No between-limbs differences were detected in the control group (P &gt; .05). In the ACLR group, the involved limb demonstrated a longer TTP for isokinetic strength (P = .04; Cohen d effect size [ES] = 0.18; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.16, 0.52), lower RTD for isometric (P &lt; .001; Cohen d ES = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.38, 1.08) and isokinetic (P &lt; .001; Cohen d ES = 0.84; 95% CI = 0.49, 1.19) strength, lower CAR (P &lt; .001; Cohen d ES = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.03, 0.71), and lower peak torque for isometric (P &lt; .001; Cohen d ES = 1.28; 95% CI = 0.91, 1.65) and isokinetic (P &lt; .001; Cohen d ES = 1.15; 95% CI = 0.78, 1.52) strength.Conclusions: Interlimb asymmetries at return to activity after ACLR appeared to be regulated by several underlying neuromuscular factors. We theorize that interlimb asymmetries in isometric and isokinetic quadriceps strength were associated with changes in muscle architecture. Reduced CAR, TTP, and RTD were also present, indicating a loss of motor-unit recruitment or decrease in firing rate.
Determinants of urban consumers’ participation in informal vegetable markets: Evidence from Mahikeng, North West province, South Africa, and implications for policy
Authors: Marumo Olebogeng , Mabuza Majola L. 
Published: April 2018

Background: This article seeks to examine the perceptions of urban dwellers towards participating in informal vegetable markets and determine the underlying factors shaping their decisions to participate in such markets. Aim and setting: The objectives were achieved by using cross-sectional data obtained from a random sample of 230 households from Mahikeng in the North West province of South Africa. Households’ perceptions were measured using numeric responses to several questions, which covered various issues related to vegetable marketing and consumption. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to draw dominant perceptions from the set of responses. Method: The probit model was used to determine factors influencing households’ decisions of whether or not to participate in informal vegetable markets. Explanatory variables included demographic and socio-economic factors as well as perception-related factors, which were proxied by the dominant principal components (PCs) obtained from the PCA results. Results: Two PCs were found dominant, representing safety and quality perceptions as well as the convenience and bargaining opportunities provided by informal traders. The probit regression results indicated that households’ preference for the informal vegetable market were positively influenced by age of household head, low level of education of adult household members, and convenience provided by informal markets. However, households’ wealth status and the perceptions on safety and quality of vegetables were found to have a significant negative influence on participation in the informal market. Conclusion: Given that informal vegetable trade forms an integral part of the urban economy by offering easy access to food in public spaces and connecting with the formal economy where informal traders source their supplies, the study concludes by highlighting policy interventions aimed at improving the quality of food traded in the informal sector.
Bakry–Émery Curvature Functions on Graphs
Authors: Cushing David , Liu Shiping , Peyerimhoff Norbert 
Published: April 2018

AbstractWe study local properties of the Bakry–Émery curvature function ${\mathcal{K}}_{G,x}:(0,\infty ]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ at a vertex $x$ of a graph $G$ systematically. Here ${\mathcal{K}}_{G,x}({\mathcal{N}})$ is defined as the optimal curvature lower bound ${\mathcal{K}}$ in the Bakry–Émery curvature-dimension inequality $CD({\mathcal{K}},{\mathcal{N}})$ that $x$ satisfies. We provide upper and lower bounds for the curvature functions, introduce fundamental concepts like curvature sharpness and $S^{1}$-out regularity, and relate the curvature functions of $G$ with various spectral properties of (weighted) graphs constructed from local structures of $G$. We prove that the curvature functions of the Cartesian product of two graphs $G_{1},G_{2}$ are equal to an abstract product of curvature functions of $G_{1},G_{2}$. We explore the curvature functions of Cayley graphs and many particular (families of) examples. We present various conjectures and construct an infinite increasing family of 6-regular graphs which satisfy $CD(0,\infty )$ but are not Cayley graphs.
Using lagged dependence to identify (de)coupled surface and subsurface soil moisture values
Authors: Carranza Coleen D. U. , van der Ploeg Martine J. , Torfs Paul J. J. F. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Recent advances in radar remote sensing popularized the mapping of surface
soil moisture at different spatial scales. Surface soil moisture measurements
are used in combination with hydrological models to determine subsurface soil
moisture values. However, variability of soil moisture across the soil column
is important for estimating depth-integrated values, as decoupling between
surface and subsurface can occur. In this study, we employ new methods to
investigate the occurrence of (de)coupling between surface and subsurface
soil moisture. Using time series datasets, lagged dependence was incorporated
in assessing (de)coupling with the idea that surface soil moisture conditions
will be reflected at the subsurface after a certain delay. The main approach
involves the application of a distributed-lag nonlinear model (DLNM) to
simultaneously represent both the functional relation and the lag structure
in the time series. The results of an exploratory analysis using residuals
from a fitted loess function serve as a posteriori information to determine
(de)coupled values. Both methods allow for a range of (de)coupled soil
moisture values to be quantified. Results provide new insights into the
decoupled range as its occurrence among the sites investigated is not limited
to dry conditions.
The dynamics of İzmir Bay under the effects of wind and thermohaline forces
Authors: Sayın Erdem , Eronat Canan 
Published: April 2018

Abstract. The dominant circulation pattern of İzmir Bay on the
Aegean Sea coast of Turkey is studied taking into consideration the influence
of wind and thermohaline forces. İzmir Bay is discussed by
subdividing the bay into outer, middle and inner areas. Wind is the most
important driving force in the İzmir coastal area. There are also
thermohaline forces due to the existence of water types of different physical
properties in the bay. In contrast to the two-layer stratification during
summer, a homogeneous water column exists in winter. The free surface version
of the Princeton model (Killworth's 3-D general circulation model) is
applied, with the input data obtained through the measurements made by the
research vessel K. Piri Reis. As a result of the simulations with
artificial wind, the strong consistent wind generates circulation patterns
independent of the seasonal stratification in the bay. Wind-driven
circulation causes cyclonic or anticyclonic movements in the middle bay where
the distinct İzmir Bay Water (IBW) forms. Cyclonic movement takes
place under the influence of southerly and westerly winds. On the other hand,
northerly and easterly winds cause an anticyclonic movement in the middle
bay. The outer and inner bay also have the wind-driven recirculation patterns
expected.
Endomorphin analogs as potential analgesic drug
Authors: Perlikowska Renata , Janecka Anna 
Published: April 2018

The search for novel, safe and efficient analgesics is an important but still elusive goal for medicinal chemists. Morphine and other plant-derived alkaloids have been used for centuries to alleviate strong, acute or chronic pain. However, administration of morphine is accompanied by serious side-effects, such as physical dependence, respiratory depression, constipation, decrease of blood pressure. Although in recent times a number of effective opiate derived analogs has been developed for clinical use, the ideal opiate analgesic lacking side-effects attributed to the use of morphine still remains out of reach.Opiates exert their antinociceptive activity by activation of the μ-opioid receptors. Therefore, the search for natural and synthetic ligands of this receptor has become an attractive goal. The discovery in 1997 of two endogenous ligands of the µ-opioid receptor, endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2), gave hope that they could be used as analgesics devoid of at least some of undesired side-effects of morphine. However, the exogenous administration of EMs as analgesics is of little therapeutic value because these peptides are quickly degraded by proteolytic enzymes and have a very limited ability to effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) due to their small size and hydrophilic nature. The aim of the project was the search for novel peptide analogs based on EM structure which would be stable against proteolytic enzymes and could produce strong antinociception after intravenous or oral administration.
The influence of danazol on angiogenesis in endometriosis woman

Published: April 2018

<b>Background</b>: Angiogenesis and inflammation are pivotal processes in developing endometriosis in the peritoneal cavity. The aim of the study was to evaluate these two processes in women with endometriosis and treated with danazol. The second object of the study was to determine the sensitivity of a non-invasive test combined of studied biomarkers in diagnosing endometriosis.<b> Methods>/b>: The case control study was conducted in a group of 103 women diagnosed laparoscopically for endometriosis. 35 patients were qualified to the treatment with danazol. Pain assessment was in Visual Analogue Scale. Endometriosis was assessed with rASRM scale. In serum Ca-125, CRP, VEGF and IL-1β were determined before and after danazol treatment. IL-8 expression in the endometrium was determined before treatment. <b>Results</b>: Endometriosis group (68.9% of patients) demonstrated a higher concentration of Ca-125 in serum and higher levels of both Ca125 and VEGF in the peritoneal fluid. The expression of mRNA for IL-8 in the endometrium was significantly higher in the study group. After treatment with danazol a lower VAS score and a lower level of Ca-125 (p<0.001) was observed. The concentration of VEGF in plasma increased (p=0.009). For the diagnosis of endometriosis, no combination of the given markers reached a sensitivity higher than 60%. <b>Conclusions</b>: Treatment with danazol is highly effective in relieving pain and decreasing the concentration of Ca-125. A higher level of VEGF in plasma after treatment might imply stimulation of angiogenesis.
Uplatňovanie zásady primeranosti a zdržanlivosti pri využívaní informačno-technických prostriedkov v trestnom konaní v Slovenskej republike
Authors: Záhora Jozef 
Published: April 2018

Účelom trestného konania je náležite zistiť trestné činy a ich páchateľov podľa zákona spravodlivo potrestať, pričom treba rešpektovať základné práva a slobody dotknutých osôb. V trestnom konaní, pri vykonávaní niektorých dôkazných prostriedkov, predovšetkým informačno-technických prostriedkov, dochádza k zásahom do súkromia jednotlivca. Súkromie sa chápe predovšetkým ako sféra života človeka, do ktorej nemožno zasahovať bez jeho súhlasu, informácie ktoré môže jednotlivec zatajovať bez strachu, že bude štátom potrestaný alebo znevýhodnený oproti iným. Do tejto sféry patria zároveň všetky záležitosti jednotlivcov, ktoré nemôže štát alebo iná súkromná osoba bezdôvodne získavať a o ktorých nemožno informovať verejnosť. V rámci rekodifikácie trestného práva procesného bola do Trestného poriadku doplnená zásada zdržanlivosti a primeranosti. Do základných práv a slobôd osôb v prípadoch dovolených zákonom možno zasahovať len v miere nevyhnutnej na dosiahnutie účelu trestného konania, pričom treba rešpektovať dôstojnosť osôb a ich súkromie. Na rozhodnutiach Európskeho súdu pre ľudské práva a Ústavného súdu autor poukazuje na základné východiská pri posudzovaní oprávnenosti zásahov do práva na súkromie pri využívaní informačno-technických prostriedkov v trestnom konaní. V rámci diskusie poukazuje na niektoré úskalia slovenskej trestno-procesnej úpravy.
