Questa raccolta di saggi ha una semplice e diretta ambizione: dimostrare che anche in campo letterario il confronto con i testi di Antonio Gramsci non può limitarsi a una passiva pratica di richiamo bibliografico, ma deve dirigersi verso l'orizzonte della politica riscoprendo il nesso tra teoria e prassi. Nell'ambito sempre meno politico degli studi letterari, questa prospettiva ha un significato assai preciso: le traiettorie interpretative, le riflessioni sullo statuto della letteratura, il modo in cui una certa produzione viene letta e pensata, la discussione sui valori e sulle categorie - tutto ciò influenza e determina il campo culturale, produce visioni del mondo, abilita punti di vista che, inevitabilmente, si legano alle pratiche quotidiane e forniscono materia di azione politica. Il volume raccoglie i saggi di Mimmo Cangiano, Roberto Dainotto, Paolo Desogus, Gabriele Fichera, Guido Mattia Gallerani, Marco Gatto, Lorenzo Mari, Francesco Marola, Gian Luca Picconi, Antoni...

Sea urchin eggs are objects of wonder for the student who sees them for the first time under the microscope. The formation of the fertil ization membrane after insemination, the beauty of mitotic cleavage, the elegant swimming of embryos, remain an esthetic pleasure even for the eyes of seasoned investigators. But sea urchin eggs have other, more practical, advantages: they lend themselves to surgical operation without difficulty and they heal perfectly; they can be obtained in very large amounts and represent thus an extremely favorable material for biochemists and molecular embryologists. It is not surprising that, in view of these exceptional advantages, sea urchin eggs have attracted the interest of innumerable biologists since O. HERTWIG discovered the fusion of the pronuclei (amphimixy), in Paracentrotus lividus, almost a century ago. The purpose of the present book is to present, in a complete and orderly fashion, the enormous amount of information which has been gathered, in th...

Recent technological advances have enabled comprehensive determination of the molecular composition of living cells. The chemical interactions between many of these molecules are known, giving rise to genome-scale reconstructed biochemical reaction networks underlying cellular functions. Mathematical descriptions of the totality of these chemical interactions lead to genome-scale models that allow the computation of physiological functions. Reflecting these recent developments, this textbook explains how such quantitative and computable genotype-phenotype relationships are built using a genome-wide basis of information about the gene portfolio of a target organism. It describes how biological knowledge is assembled to reconstruct biochemical reaction networks, the formulation of computational models of biological functions, and how these models can be used to address key biological questions and enable predictive biology. Developed through extensive classroom use, the book is designed ...

Sexual obsessions are a common symptom of OCD, but addressing them in treatment is uniquely challenging due to feelings of shame, prior misdiagnosis, and the covert nature of ritualizing behaviors. These complicating factors make it difficult for clients to disclose their symptoms and for clinicians to know how to approach treatment. Sexual Obsessions in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder provides clinicians with the information and guidance needed to help clients experiencing unwanted and intrusive thoughts of a sexual nature. Opening with background information on sexual obsessions and OCD, including assessment and differential diagnosis, Williams and Wetterneck then offer a complete, step-by-step manual describing treatment using a combination of empirically-supported CBT strategies, such as exposure and response prevention, cognitive therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, as well as useful mindfulness techniques. Accompanying these practical, step-by-step instructions are educ...
