Il sistema cooperativo-paritetico nell'AIMIT e alleanza terapeutica: studio preliminare sulla validità dei costrutti

La nascita dell' AIMIT (2008, in stampa) come strumento di analisi della motivazione interpersonale nei trascritti, apre nuove possi- bilità nell'analisi di aspetti connessi allo studio dei determinanti della qualità della relazione terapeutica. In questo lavoro preli- minare, viene proposto un affiancamento dei concetti di Sistema Motivazionale lnterpersonale (SMI) Cooperativo- Paritetico, così come descritto nel manuale AIMIT e di Alleanza Terapeutiea

Impact of Bt Corn on Rhizospheric and Soil Eubacterial Communities and on Beneficial Mycorrhizal Symbiosis in Experimental Microcosms

A polyphasic approach has been developed to gain knowledge of suitable key indicators for the evaluation of environmental impact of genetically modified Bt 11 and Bt 176 corn lines on soil ecosystems. We assessed the effects of Bt corn (which constitutively expresses the insecticidal toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis, encoded by the truncated Cry1Ab gene) and non-Bt corn plants and their residues on rhizospheric and bulk soil eubacterial communities by means of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analyses of 16S rRNA genes, on the nontarget mycorrhizal symbiont Glomus mosseae, and on soil respiration. Microcosm experiments showed differences in rhizospheric eubacterial communities associated with the three corn lines and a significantly lower level of mycorrhizal colonization in Bt 176 corn roots. In greenhouse experiments, differences between Bt and non-Bt corn plants were detected in rhizospheric eubacterial communities (both total and active), in culturable rhizospheric heterotrophic bacteria, and in mycorrhizal colonization. Plant residues of transgenic plants, plowed under at harvest and kept mixed with soil for up to 4 months, affected soil respiration, bacterial communities, and mycorrhizal establishment by indigenous endophytes. The multimodal approach utilized in our work may be applied in long-term field studies aimed at monitoring the real hazard of genetically modified crops and their residues on nontarget soil microbial communities

Planning and Discussing Corporatism and the “New International Order”

The essay describes the role of some important economic congresses during fascism regime, focusing on: 1) Italian economists contributions and debate on the role of Italian economic system in the “new world order”, to be implemented after the end of the WWII; 2) the debate of planning in the forties

Clio among the Camicie Nere

What was the impact of Fascism on the Italian historical profession? From the 1930s through the early 1940s, Italian scholars loyal to the regime could count on a government that supported their work both in the universities and through the establishment of new research institutions. This academic infrastructure served an emerging generation of historians who had begun their careers under the dictatorship, trained by masters who were sympathetic to the Fascist cause. In some of their writings they would come to closely reflect the regime’s political and ideological priorities, particularly with respect to foreign policy. These historians would reevaluate the country’s geopolitical position since the Risorgimento, as well as Italy’s place in Europe and the Mediterranean, in a way that dovetailed with the regime’s ideology of colonial conquest and national grandeur. As Fascism strived to fulfill these historians’ interpretations of Italy’s “destiny,” they in turn distilled and enunciated visions of an Italian world power. This chapter will analyze the intellectual discourse prevalent in the universities, in order to assess the various ways in which Fascist beliefs were gradually assimilated, consciously or unconsciously, by different generations. I will thus examine the reception of Fascist foreign policy objectives not only in the lectures and writings of major Italian historians but also in the tesi di laurea (senior theses) of their young students
