"While highlighting the prevailing role of television in Western societies, Art vs. TV maps and condenses a comprehensive history of the relationships of art and television. With a particular focus on the link between reality and representation, Francesco Spampinato analyzes video art works, installations, performances, interventions and television programs made by contemporary artists as forms of resistance to and appropriation and parody of mainstream television. The artists discussed belong to different generations: those that emerged in the 1960s in association with art movements such as Pop Art, Fluxus and Happening; and those appearing on the scene in the 1980s, whose work aimed at deconstructing media representation in line with postmodernist theories; to those arriving in the 2000s, an era in which, through reality shows and the Internet, anybody could potentially become a media personality; and finally those active in the 2010s, whose work reflects on how old media like television has definitively vaporized through the electronic highways of cyberspace. These works and phenomena elicit a tension between art and television, exposing an incongruence; an impossibility not only to converge but at the very least to open up a dialogical exchange"--

This book represents a compilation of research in sustainable architecture and planning. Its main focus is offering strategies and solutions that help reducing of the negative impacts of buildings on the environment and emphasizing the suitable management of available resources. By tackling the topic of sustainability from a historical perspective and also as a vision for the future, the book in hands provides new horizons for engineers, urban planners and environmentalists interested in the optimization of resources, space development, and the ecosystem as a whole to address the complex unresolved problems our cities are facing. This book is a culmination of selected research papers from IEREK’s sixth edition of the International Conference on Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development (UPADSD) held online in collaboration with the University of Florence, Italy (2021) and the first edition of the International Conference on Circular Economy for Sustainable Development (CESD) held online in collaboration with the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy (2021).

Inflammation is a complex biological response to injury as a result of different stimuli such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Inflammatory injuries induce the release of a variety of systemic mediators, cytokines, and chemokines that orchestrate cellular infiltration, consequentially bringing about the resolution of inflammatory responses and the restoration of tissue integrity. However, persistent inflammatory stimuli or the disregulation of the mechanisms of the resolution phase can lead to chronic inflammation and inflammatory-based diseases. Nowadays, commercially approved anti-inflammatory drugs are represented by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID); glucocorticoids (SAID); and, in some cases, immunosuppressant and/or biological drugs. These agents are effective for the relief of the main inflammatory symptoms. However, they induce severe side effects, and most of them are inadequate for chronic use. Starting from these premises, the demand for new, effective, and safe anti-inflammatory drugs has led research in new therapeutic directions. The recent and emerging scientific community slant is oriented towards natural products/compounds that could represent a boon for the discovery of new active molecules and for the development of new drugs and potentially useful therapeutic agents in different inflammatory-related diseases. We hope that it will stimulate the interest of the scientific community involved in studying the effects of natural and synthetic compounds in different fields of interest such as acute and chronic inflammation, inflammatory pain, inflammation-related diseases (e.g., autoimmune diseases), amongst others.

Explore an alternative method of front-end application development without using frameworks or third-party libraries. This updated book provides you with the required skills and freedom to consider a “no framework” approach when choosing a technology for creating a new project. New topics covered include a brief history of JavaScript frameworks and their key developments, how to protect domain code, and how to work with frameworkless in legacy applications. You’ll work through the most important issues in a clear and sensible way, using practical methods and tools to gain an understanding of non-functional requirements. This book answers questions on important topics such as state management, making a routing system, creating a REST client using fetch, and reveals the trade-offs and risks associated with choosing the wrong framework or tool for your project, as well as provides sustainability, and functional alternatives. Frameworkless Front-End Development breaks down the concept of technical debt and the ways in which a framework can impact the lifespan of a project. Along with gaining a comprehensive and clear guide on coding effectively from scratch without frameworks, you will also learn some principles of technical decision-making. You will: Understand DOM manipulation Manage the state of a fronted application with different patterns Safely migrate existent applications to a new framework or to frameworkless code Understand the importance of non-functional requirements See how a Framework can affect the “health” of a codebase.

Tradizionalmente la poesia epica d’età flavia è stata studiata in rapporto all’Eneide virgiliana; questo volume, invece, si sofferma sulla ricezione in Argonautiche, Tebaide e Punica di quattro grandi episodi dell’Iliade legati alla dimensione dell’eroismo. Omero non è soltanto archetipo della virtus, talora arcaica e primitiva, messa in campo dai protagonisti dei poemi esaminati, ma è usato persino come modello delle perversioni e della negazione della virtus stessa. Il volume, che evidenzia affinità e differenze tra Valerio Flacco, Stazio e Silio Italico in rapporto alla tecnica poetica e all’uso dei modelli, spazia lungo l’arco della poesia epica fino al I sec. d.C. e affronta anche questioni di cronologia relativa, piuttosto spinose specialmente per quanto riguarda Tebaide e Punica.

Dieser anlässlich des 70. Geburtstages von Hubert Houben publizierte Band stellt Grenzüberschreitungen als eines der Themen, die dem Jubilar am Herzen liegen, in den Mittelpunkt. Indem die Autorinnen und Autoren Grenze als soziales Konstrukt verstehen, befassen sie sich mit ausgewählten Fällen der Überschreitung von räumlichen, kulturellen und rechtlichen Grenzen im Mittelalter. Die daraus resultierende Vielschichtigkeit und Multiperspektivität spiegeln verschiedene Ansätze und Forschungstraditionen, die in der Zusammenschau ein breites Spektrum möglicher Zugänge zur Thematik der Grenzüberschreitung aufzeigen.

Questo studio sull'opera filosofica più ambiziosa di Christoph Sigwart (1830-1904) si concentra su un'idea di logica della conoscenza. Un'idea che non si conforma al modello kantiano, perché rinuncia ad attribuire universalità e necessità alle leggi che definiscono a priori le condizioni trascendentali della conoscenza. Un'idea che sviluppa un diverso significato di "trascendentale" e "a priori", privo dell'esigenza di uno statuto epistemico speciale rispetto a quello richiesto dalle altre scienze empiriche. Intrecciata nella stessa contingenza che caratterizza i risultati di queste scienze, una tale logica della conoscenza può approntare critiche adeguate alla mobilità di questi risultati. La scelta di esplorare questa possibilità proprio attraverso un'analisi della Logik (1904) è motivata dalla convinzione che questo lavoro, smarcato dalle pastoie del Novecento, sia in grado di offrire, oggi, un'alternativa alla dismissione del progetto di un'epistemologia in prospettiva trascendentale. Ma quest'opera è anche un accesso dimenticato al vivace laboratorio postkantiano che, nella Germania a cavallo tra XIX e XX secolo, produce un modello di filosofia scientifica che ha influenzato profondamente il successivo dibattito epistemologico. Questo studio si propone, quindi, anche di introdurre il lettore ai principali temi epistemologici affrontati da Sigwart e dalla tradizione kantiana a cui Sigwart appartiene.

Dans les religions polythéistes de l'Antiquité, à forte dimension publique et collective, les cultes dits « à mystères », réservés à des groupes d'initiés, ont longtemps tenu un rôle limité, malgré la célébrité de certains d'entre eux comme les Mystères d'Eleusis. Mais sous l'Empire romain, la notion de mystères semble connaître une diffusion sans précédent et influencer tant les pratiques religieuses que les façons de les représenter. Or, ce processus concerne aussi bien les groupes chrétiens que les cultes traditionnels. En effet, dès le milieu du IIè siècle, les auteurs chrétiens s'approprient le vocabulaire des cultes à mystères pour parler de leurs propres rituels et croyances, et construisent ainsi des formes de compétition avec les tenants des religions traditionnelles. A partir de ce moment et jusqu'à la fin de l'Antiquité, les mystères des religions polythéistes et les nouveaux mystères chrétiens ne cessent de se croiser. La notion de mystères devient le lieu d'interactions entre païens et chrétiens reflétant les nouveaux rapports de force politiques et religieux qui s'établissent dans les territoires d'un empire multiculturel et multireligieux. L'ouvrage retrace cette évolution et interroge le rôle qu'a pu jouer le discours chrétien sur les cultes à mystères « païens ».
