Un âsociolinguistaâ cinquecentesco: Girolamo Olives e i suoi Commentaria et Glosa in Cartam de Logu
The present paper explores the Commentaria et Glosa in Cartam de Logu (1567), the first juridical commentary, written in Latin, of the Carta de Logu, a collection of norms published in the 14th century by the judge-kings of the Sardinian Giudicato (kingdom) of Arborea. The author of the Commentaria, the Sardinian jurist Girolamo Olives, from Sassari, was the first Sardinian magistrate to be appointed as fiscal lawyer in the Council of Aragona in 1554. In his work, Olives gives us important (socio)linguistic data for a better understanding of the Sardinian linguistic community in the 16th century. It is in this period that, beside Sardinian, Catalan achieves the highest status in the linguistic repertoire, while Castilian only slowly starts to expand. Olives takes into account some patterns of Sardinian multilingualism and provides rhetorical examples of the judge-kingsâ complicated strategy of legitimation and power consolidation through biblical narrative models.Il presente lavoro si propone di analizzare i Commentaria et Glosa in Cartam de Logu (1567), il primo commento giuridico, scritto in latino, della Carta de Logu, una compilazione di norme promosse dai giudici del Giudicato Sardo dâArborea nel XIV secolo.

La Tavola Ritonda: le joug et le jeu de la chevalerie = The Tavola Ritonda: The Yoke and the Game of Chivalry
The chivalric romance known as Tavola Ritonda, written in Italy in the early 14th century, bears the seal of contemporary leanings. His anonymous compiler gives life to a project inspired by the desire to make the legend of Tristan and Yseut a sort of encyclopaedia, able to establish a dialogue with the Italian contemporaneity and to update the myth while
rationalizing and moralizing its message. The chivalrous universe of the Tavola Ritonda is thus suspended above the system of genres of medieval Italy, presenting chivalry at the same time as a game, a literary amusement, and as a yoke, a concrete possibility to promote the civil commitment that derives from adhesion to Christian values. The present paper aims at focusing on the complex representation of the chivalrous society painted in the novel. The vision of a
monolithic chivalry, perfectly at ease in a feudal system organized by closed castes, is turned upside down by the very notion of adventure thanks to its many facetings, while an atmosphere of imminent end masters the text and compels the knights to question the meaning of their own civilization, the irrational drift of certain customs, the obsolescence
and inconsistency of the values they persist (sometimes unjustifiably) to perpetuate.Le roman de chevalerie connu sous le titre de Tavola Ritonda, Ă©crit en Italie au dĂ©but du XIVe siĂšcle, porte le sceau des orientations contemporaines.

Octave bias in an absolute pitch identification task
Octave errors are common within musicians, even among
absolute pitch possessors. Overall, evidence shows pitch class
and octave to be perceived in a different way, even if they are
highly connected. We investigated whether pitch class
perception, in an absolute pitch identification task, can be
influenced by the octave context, examined among two
consecutive octaves. Participants, all musicians with formal
musical education, showed different response patterns in the
two octaves even if the octave context was explicitly told to
be task irrelevant. The direction of errors revealed a
consistent tendency to underestimate pitch height in the
lowest octave and to overestimate pitch height in the highest
octave. Thus, pitch class identification showed to be biased by
the octave context. These results are discussed in terms of
polarity and pitch enhancement
Protective Activity of Broccoli Sprout Juice in a Human Intestinal Cell Model of Gut Inflammation
Benefits to health from a high consumption of fruits and vegetables are well established
and have been attributed to bioactive secondary metabolites present in edible plants. However,
the effects of specific health-related phytochemicals within a complex food matrix are difficult to
assess. In an attempt to address this problem, we have used elicitation to improve the nutraceutical
content of seedlings of Brassica oleracea grown under controlled conditions. Analysis, by LC-MS, of
the glucosinolate, isothiocyanate and phenolic compound content of juices obtained from sprouts
indicated that elicitation induces an enrichment of several phenolics, particularly of the anthocyanin
fraction. To test the biological activity of basal and enriched juices we took advantage of a recently
developed in vitro model of inflamed human intestinal epithelium. Both sproutsâ juices protected
intestinal barrier integrity in Caco-2 cells exposed to tumor necrosis factor under marginal zinc
deprivation, with the enriched juice showing higher protection. Multivariate regression analysis
indicated that the extent of rescue from stress-induced epithelial dysfunction correlated with the
composition in bioactive molecules of the juices and, in particular, with a group of phenolic
compounds, including several anthocyanins, quercetin-3-Glc, cryptochlorogenic, neochlorogenic and
cinnamic acids
Octave Bias in Pitch Perception: The Influence of Pitch Height on Pitch Class Identification
The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link (open access).Pitch height and pitch class are different, but strictly related, percepts of music tones. To
investigate the influence of pitch height in a pitch class identification task, we systematically analyzed the errorsâin terms of direction and amountâcommitted by a group of musicians. The aim of our study was to verify the existence of constant errors in the identification of pitch classes across consecutive octaves. Stimuli were single piano tones from the C major scale executed in two consecutive octaves. Participants showed different response patterns in the two octaves. The direction of errors revealed a constant tendency to underestimate pitch classes in the lowest octave and to overestimate pitch classes in the highest octave. Thus, pitch height showed to influence pitch class identification. We called this bias ââpitch class polarizationââ, since the same pitch class was judged to be respectively lower and higher, depending on relatively
low or high pitch height
