Le storie del castello di Trezza

Autor: Giovanni Verga

Número de Páginas: 153

Il rozzo e arrogante barone don Garzia d'Arvelo, rimasto vedovo, si risposa con l'intrepida Isabella. Ma nel castello del barone si odono voci e lamenti spettrali e in paese circolano dicerie a proposito di strane apparizioni notturne. Si tratta del fantasma di donna Violante, la prima moglie del barone, a suo tempo innamorata di un giovane paggio e destinata a una tragica sorte... È questa l'antica leggenda medievale di Trezza, che Luciano narra agli amici Matilde e Giordano, recatisi in visita turistica al castello. Ma il passato si mescola al presente, i piani temporali si sovrappongono, dando vita a un vero e proprio giallo di stampo gotico, ricco di suspense e di mistero. Un Verga insolito, che combina abilmente tutti gli elementi del gotico (ataviche maledizioni, tenebrose leggende, castelli, sotterranei, amori proibiti, fantasmi), per dar vita a una narrazione di straordinaria attualità e di grande suggestione anche per il lettore moderno.

The Civil Rights Act and the Battle to End Workplace Discrimination

Autor: Raymond F. Gregory

Número de Páginas: 341

On the fiftieth anniversary of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, Raymond F. Gregory evaluates our progress towards the full implementation of one of the law’s key provisions: Title VII, which prohibits discrimination in the workplace. Gregory looks at key litigation as the law has come to include discrimination based on more than just race, but on gender, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. From the segregationist policies of the past to lingering workplace oppression in the form of sexual harassment, age discrimination, and religious conflicts, the places we work have always been the scenes of some of our greatest civil rights battles. This study of the landmark cases and rulings, and debates surrounding workplace discrimination of all kinds sheds light on the cultural tensions we grapple with in America. Gregory also looks at the broader history of oppression suffered, recognized, and overcome, in the 50 years since this country passed its Civil Rights Act. In addition to a detailed history of the legal history of civil rights and America’s workplace discrimination, this book also outlines positive ways forward for our society as we continue to diversify and...

Unbending Gender

Autor: Joan Williams

Número de Páginas: 354

In Unbending Gender, Joan Williams takes a hard look at the state of feminism in America. Concerned by what she finds--young women who flatly refuse to identify themselves as feminists and working-class and minority women who feel the movement hasn't addressed the issues that dominate their daily lives--she outlines a new vision of feminism that calls for workplaces focused on the needs of families and, in divorce cases, recognition of the value of family work and its impact on women's earning power. Williams notes that good jobs in America are designed for the ideal employee, who works full-time and often overtime, with no career interruptions. Even today, most American mothers do not meet this ideal: a majority do not work full-time, and only a small fraction work overtime. Williams points out that women will never achieve equality until mothers do: she argues that employers need to implement parent-supportive policies--or face liability for sex discrimination. She also maintains that ideal-worker fathers are supported by a flow of family work from mothers, yet divorce courts treat the family wage as owned solely by the ideal worker. The result is the impoverishment of women and ...

Número de Páginas: 368

During the past years there has been rapid progress in the understanding of how early life stress impacts psychopathology in children. The first two parts of this book present the basic principles of brain development and describe the most important neuronal systems. This includes systems involved in emotion processing, cognitive control, and social processes. These first two general sections are followed by an overview about recent research on various neuronal and psychiatric disorders, where environmental exposures and altered brain development play an important role: sleep, autism, ADHD and other developmental forms of psychopathology.

Luchino Visconti, entre Giovanni Verga et Gabriele D’Annunzio

Autor: Jeanclaude Arnod

Número de Páginas: 225

Luchino Visconti, metteur en scène de cinéma, de théâtre mais aussi d’opéra a été particulièrement influencé par la littérature de la fin du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle. S’il reste, près de 50 ans après sa mort, l’esthète décadent, lecteur de Marcel Proust et de Thomas Mann, il n’en a pas moins été influencé par les œuvres de deux autres écrivains, italiens ceux-là : Giovanni Verga et Gabriele D’Annunzio. Si leur notoriété est moins éclatante, ils ont, malgré tout, fortement marqué le parcours du réalisateur, qui adapta du premier I Malavoglia (son deuxième film) et du second L’Innocente (son dernier film). Cet ouvrage s’interroge sur l’ampleur de ces influences littéraires et sur les rapports entretenus par Visconti avec Verga et D’Annunzio à travers l’analyse de quatre de ses films : La terra trema, Roccoe i suoi fratelli, Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa... et L’Innocente, dans lesquels leur empreinte est particulièrement prégnante.

Translational Research Methods in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Autor: Stéphane Martin , Frédéric Laumonnier

Número de Páginas: 271

This volume explores the latest techniques used to study neurodevelopmental diseases (NDD) that range from molecular aspects to integrated research approaches and brain imaging in living rodents. Chapters in this book cover topics such as protocols to deliver shRNA in vitro and in vivo using lentiviral particles to knock-down specific protein expression; experimental procedures to use recombinant fluorescent probes to visualize endogenous proteins at the mammalian synapse; CRISPR/Cas9 toolkit to assess either gain- or loss-of-gene function in brain organoids; detailed protocols to use in vivo manipulations to correct the behavioral phenotypes in cognitive disorder mouse lines; and experimental approaches to genetically engineer macaque models of NDDs and investigate how genetic predisposition may cause neural and functional alterations. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and practical, Translational Research Methods in Neurodevelopmental Disorders is a valuable resource for all researchers who want to learn more about this important and...

Innovative approaches and therapeutic perspectives for early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders: from bench to bedside.

Autor: Barbara Bardoni , Maria Vincenza Catania , Viviana Trezza

Número de Páginas: 176

In partnership with the Jacques Monod Conference “Genetics, environment, signaling & synaptic plasticity in developmental brain disorders: from bench to bedside", the Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal announces an article collection that will highlight cutting-edge research presented at the 2022 meeting from Monday 11th Apr - Friday 15th Apr in Roscoff (Brittany). Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs) are a highly heterogeneous group of disorders with a prevalence of 3% of the worldwide population. These disorders include Intellectual Disability (ID), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, specific learning disorder, motor and language disorder, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Thus, NDDs are characterized by deficits in cognition, social interaction, behavior, and motor functioning as a result of abnormal brain development. Several of these phenotypes can co-exist in the same patient. Indeed, for instance, up to 50% of ASD patients display also ID. Similarly, the prevalence of epilepsy in ID patients is around 26%. This phenotypic overlap is also mirrored at the genetic and molecular levels. For instance, some pathways (e.g., Rho-GTPase, group I...
