Christianissimus princeps: note sulla politica ecclesiastica di Filippo Maria Visconti

ITALIANO: Muovendo da alcuni aspetti della sua politica ecclesiastica – provvista beneficiaria, fiscalità nei confronti del clero, fondazione di patronati ducali, relazioni con ordini religiosi – il saggio mostra l’ampiezza degli interventi di Filippo Maria Visconti nei confronti delle chiese e del clero del ducato. Se da un lato l’istituzione di benefici e il sostegno a ordini religiosi miravano ad avvalorare e a veicolare l’immagine di principe devoto ed attento alle necessità delle Chiese, dall’altro l’istituzione di economi preposti all’amministrazione dei benefici vacanti, l’esercizio della fiscalità anche nei confronti degli ecclesiastici, il sostegno alla predicazione di Minori osservanti in funzione antifazionaria, l’istituzione di numerosi benefici sottoposti al patronato visconteo anche presso località poste in punti nevralgici del ducato, delineano l’aspirazione del principe ad esercitare un controllo capillare sulle istituzioni ecclesiastiche del dominio, avvalendosene anche per consolidare la presenza e l’immagine dell’autorità signorile sul territorio. / ENGLISH: Starting from some aspects of his ecclesiastical policy – provisions, foundation of beneficia, taxation of clergy, ducal patronage, relations with religious orders – the essay shows the extent of the action of Filippo Maria Visconti towards churches and towards the clergy of the duchy. The foundation of beneficia and the support to religious orders aimed to validate and to convey the image of his devotion and his attention to the needs of the Church. Other important elements are the establishment of yconomi, who were responsible for the administration of the vacant churches; the taxation of clergy, the support to the Observant Franciscans preaching against factions, as well as the foundation of several beneficia even in focal places of the duchy. These aspects show the aspiration of the prince to exercise fine-grained control over ecclesiastical institutions and to use them to support the structure of the State, and to strengthen the presence and the image of his authority over the duchy

Simultaneous determination of triazines and their main transformation products in surface and urban wastewater by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry

This work describes the optimization, validation and application to real samples of an ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for the quantification and confirmation of 11 compounds (atrazine, simazine, terbuthylazine, terbumeton, terbutryn and their main transformation products) in surface and wastewater samples. Most of these analytes are included in the list of priority substances in the framework on European Water Policy. The application of this method to water samples reveals that the most relevant transformation products (TPs) should be incorporated into current analytical methods (which are focused mainly on the determination of unchanged compounds), to obtain a more realistic knowledge on water quality regarding pesticide contamination. TPs are generally more polar and mobile than the parents and they can be transported to the aquatic environment more rapidly than their precursors. Additionally, they can present some degree of toxicity and in fact TPs are also included within the legislation on drinking water as pesticide derivatives. To efficiently combine UHPLC with MS/MS, a fast-acquisition triple quadrupole mass analyzer was used. Working in selected reaction monitoring mode, up to three simultaneous transitions per compound were acquired allowing a reliable identification at ng/L levels. The method developed includes a pre-concentration step based on solid-phase extraction (OASIS HLB cartridges). Satisfactory recoveries (70-120%) and relative standard deviations (<20%) were obtained for all compounds in different water samples types spiked at two concentration levels (0.025 and 0.1 μg/L). The optimized method was found to have excellent sensitivity with instrumental detection limits as low as 50 fg. In addition, the influences of the matrix constituents on ionization efficiency and extraction recovery have been studied in different types of Italian and Spanish surface and urban wastewater. Signal suppressions were observed for all compounds, especially for influent wastewater. The use of isotope-labelled internal standards was found to be the best approach to assure an accurate quantification in all matrix sample

Development of delivery plans for pregnant women with complex heart disease.

The population of pregnant patients with complex cardiac disorders is increasing. The overarching goal of guidelines and best practices revolve around optimal patient outcome and experience. This is achieved through collaborative practice models focused on the goal of the management of these high-risk patients. A coordinated multidisciplinary delivery plan is a centerfold of this iterative collaborative team approach to safe pregnancy care of the pregnant person and her neonate. Here, we provide an overview of how the delivery plan is developed and integrated into the clinical management of pregnant women with complex cardiac disease

Tra lucro, affetto, devozione .Note sui testamenti di notai di Milano e contado(fine secolo XIV - secolo XV)

ITALIANO: Il saggio riguarda le disposizioni testamentarie in materia di imbreviature dettate da alcuni notai di Milano e del contado milanese nel XV secolo. Da un lato la trasmissione delle carte risulta pienamente aderente alla normativa locale (in particolare per quanto riguarda la puntuale designazione di eredi idonei all’esercizio della facultas expletandi), dall’altro i casi di studio presi in considerazione lasciano intravedere l’influenza di assetti famigliari, strategie patrimoniali e, talora, di personali orientamenti devozionali. / ENGLISH: The paper deals with testamentary provisions about imbreviature drafted by some notaries in Milan and Milanese countryside in the 15th century. On the one hand, the transmission of notarial acts appears to be fully in accordance with local legislation (particularly regarding the precise designation of heirs suited to exercise the facultas expletandi); on the other hand, the case studies give us a glimpse of the influence of family arrangements, patrimonial strategies as well as, sometimes, personal devotion

L’Atlas linguistique comme outil de recherche ? À propos de quelques expériences italiennes

Les atlas linguistiques ont fait l’objet de critiques et de réserves que la première partie de cet article rappelle. Puis l’auteure présente quatre nouveaux projets de recherche italiens, très différents les uns des autres, mais qui se posent tous des questions essentielles sur les dimensions de l’espace linguistique qu’un atlas peut de nos jours avoir l’ambition d’explorer et d’illustrer.Linguistic atlases have been the subject of criticism and reservations, which the first part of this article recalls. Then the author presents four new Italian research projects, very different from each other, but which all raise essential questions about the dimensions of the linguistic space that an atlas can nowadays have the ambition to explore and illustrate

Teología y canonística. Hipótesis para superar la separación

The essay aims to suggest how the split between theology and the study of canon law may be overcome. The approach is twofold: first, the two disciplines are shown to have the same object, the life of the Church as a phenomenon to be interpreted; and second, the link between the two disciplines is elucidated: theology sheds light on the Church’s raison d’etre, and the study of canon law gives an account of the rules that enable the Church to carry out her mission in a particular time-period.El ensayo tiene como objetivo sugerir cómo se puede superar la división entre teología y canonística. Procedemos en dos tiempos: en el primero se muestra cómo las dos disciplinas tienen un mismo objeto, la vida de la Iglesia como fenómeno a interpretar; el segundo indica cómo pueden conectarse las dos disciplinas: la teología debe ilustrar la razón de ser del fenómeno de la Iglesia; la canonística, la razón de ser de las normas que permiten a la Iglesia llevar a cabo su misión en un tiempo determinado

Between Como, Milan and Pavia: Female Religious Communities According to the Words of Margherita Lambertenghi (First Half of the 15th Century)

Il saggio presenta un memoriale in volgare, compilato negli anni Quaranta del XV secolo per essere utilizzato nella causa tra il monastero di S. Marta di Milano e la domus di S. Marco in Borgovico, presso Como. Il documento, di cui si propone la trascrizione, fu probabilmente composto da Margherita Lambertenghi, che diede impulso all’istituzionalizzazione dei due enti, e offre un prezioso e inconsueto punto di osservazione sulle differenziate dinamiche che sullo scorcio del medioevo sostennero i processi di istituzionalizzazione di forme di vita religiosa femminile.&nbsp; The essay presents a ‘memorial’ in vernacular, written in the 1440s to be used in the controversy between the monastery of S. Marta in Milan and the domus of S. Marco in Borgovico, near Como. The document, whose transcription is given at the end of the essay, was probably composed by Margherita Lambertenghi, who promoted the institutionalization of both monastries, and gives a precious and unusual point of view on the differentiated dynamics that supported the processes of institutionalization of forms of female religious life at the end of the Middle Ages
