Oxytocin in Brain Health and Disease: How can it exert such pleiotropic neuromodulatory effects?
Oxytocin is a pituitary hormone able to produce a multitude of heterogeneous central and peripheral responses. Within the central nervous system, oxytocin is synthesized by the hypothalamic parvocellular neurons and released in many different brain areas where it acts as a neuromodulator. It exerts pro-social and anxiolytic effects by promoting attachment, trust, maternal bonding, social affiliation, and eating and metabolic functions. Imbalances in the oxytocinergic system are implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases associated with altered socio-emotional competence, such as autism spectrum disorder, clinical depression, and eating disorders. Also, oxytocin impairments could affect memory f...

Diplomacy
'Kissinger's absorbing book tackles head-on some of the toughest questions of our time . . . Its pages sparkle with insight' Simon Schama in the NEW YORKER Spanning more than three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the fragility of the 'New World Order', DIPLOMACY is the now-classic history of international relations by the former Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES
La scala più corta per salire in cielo Rosario con il beato Carlo Acutis
Carlo Acutis affermava che «il Rosario è la scala più corta per salire in cielo»! Egli nutriva, infatti, una profonda devozione mariana ed era sempre fedele alla recita del Rosario, che considerava l’«appuntamento più galante della sua giornata». Michele Munno, in questo Rosario con il beato Carlo Acutis, propone per ogni mistero i testi di uno stesso evangelista: Luca per i misteri della gioia e per quelli della gloria, Giovanni per quelli della luce e Matteo per quelli del dolore, in modo che la preghiera mariana guidi, sempre più profondamente, l’orante nella conoscenza del Vangelo, che è Gesù. Per la stessa ragione, ogni mistero, per richiamare i “gradini” di questa “scala del paradiso”, è strutturato in tappe: Ascoltiamo, Meditiamo con il beato Carlo, Preghiamo, Contemplazione. Recitando il Rosario in compagnia di Carlo desideriamo anche noi salire i gradini della scala che porta al cielo!
Descriptive Geometry, The Spread of a Polytechnic Art
This book seeks to explore the history of descriptive geometry in relation to its circulation in the 19th century, which had been favoured by the transfers of the model of the École Polytechnique to other countries. The book also covers the diffusion of its teaching from higher instruction to technical and secondary teaching. In relation to that, there is analysis of the role of the institution – similar but definitely not identical in the different countries – in the field under consideration. The book contains chapters focused on different countries, areas, and institutions, written by specialists of the history of the field. Insights on descriptive geometry are provided in the context of the mathematical aspect, the aspect of teaching in particular to non-mathematicians, and the institutions themselves.
The Italian Literature of the Axis War
This book investigates the representation of the Axis War – the wars of aggression that Fascist Italy fought in North Africa, Greece, the Soviet Union, and the Balkans, from 1940 to 1943 – in three decades of Italian literature. Building on an innovative and interdisciplinary methodology, which combines memory studies, historiography, thematic criticism, and narratology, this book explores the main topoi, themes, and masterplots of an extensive corpus of novels and memoirs to assess the contribution of literature to the reshaping of Italian memory and identity after the end of Fascism. By exploring the influence that public memory exercises on literary depictions and, in return, the contribution of literary texts to the formation and dissemination of a discourse about the past, the book examines to what extent Italian literature helped readers form an ethical awareness of the crimes committed by members of their national community during World War II.
