Shakespeare a part: Scenes of Translation in Jean-Luc Godard's Bande a part and the Nouvelle Vague
2018
The article explores the "otherness" of Shakespeare in some films of the nouvelle vague of the early sixties, and argues that this otherness is bound up with processes of cultural translation involving different kinds of movements (i.e., across cultures, languages as well as media boundaries
Tra sé. Funzioni e tecniche del “cantare a parte” in Jommelli
2018
Singing "a parte" is a specific device of the theatrical and operatic communication. The first part of the article discusses the theorical and performative problems involved in the use of phrases said "tra sé" in musical numbers as reflected in eighteenth- end nineteenth-century treatises. The second part examines some examples taken from Jommelli's works, both serious and comic, in order to identify recurrent technics and features.
La competenza docimologica per la valorizzazione dei talenti. Una ricerca con i futuri docenti di scuola primaria e dell’infanzia
2018
Educating gifted students must be a priority for educators and education systems if society is to capitalise on their potential to contribute to an economical and sustain- able future. Given the importance of teachers in supporting academic achievement, educating preservice teachers on how to cater for gifted students commences the process as they can foster the implementation of current teaching practices that draw on sub- stantial research into the education of gifted children. If Evaluation process becomes an instrument for the development of talent in the classroom pre-service teacher training in docimological skill is necessary. In the ed- ucational field, talent and excellence find th…
Il patrimonio "cavo". Architetture ipogee e spazio idraulico nella piana di Palermo
2018
The valorisation policies and protection of “visible” architectural heritage are often promoted by the public opinion, that immediately perceives in the artefacts or landscape degradation the risk of an irreparable loss. Conversely, the safeguard of the underground built heritage is ever more difficult to achieve. It is the case of the "hollow architecture" functional to ensuring water provisioning in the Plain one of Palermo, the so-called “horizontal wells”. The most interesting aspect is the complex dense network of canals for the abstraction of groundwater resources. These artefacts date back to the sixteenth century – though an older dating is not to be excluded – and they outline the …
Del giuoco e della scommessa
2018
Il lavoro si propone una rilettura degli artt. 1933-1935 c.c. alla luce delle recenti evoluzioni della giurisprudenza, segnatamente europea, e della legislazione, in specie quella consumeristica. Particolare attenzione è dedicata al tema dei rapporti fra scommessa e derivati, affrontato a valle di una più generale riflessione intorno a neutralità e tipicità di gioco e scommessa.
Chemical characterization of okra stalk (Abelmoschus esculentus) as potential raw material for biorefinery utilization
2018
In the present work, okra stalk (Abelmoschus esculentus) was chemically characterized to evaluate its appropriate exploitation as a biorefinery feedstock. The chemical composition of this renewable lignocellulosic material yielding maximum up to 120 tons per hectare was primarily determined by methods of wood chemical analysis. In terms of its main organic constituents, its dry matter contained 65.0% carbohydrates (cellulose, hemicelluloses and other polysaccharides), 20.5% lignin and 5.0% extractives. In addition, thermogravimetric analyses revealed that the content of proteins and inorganics was 6.6 and 3.3% of the dry matter, respectively. Among the inorganic elements determined by induc…

FE modeling of Partially Steel-Jacketed (PSJ) RC columns using CDP model
2018
This paper deepens the finite element modeling (FEM) method to reproduce the compressive behavior of partially steel-jacketed (PSJ) RC columns by means of the Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) Model available in ABAQUS software. Although the efficiency of the CDP model is widely proven for reinforced concrete columns at low confining pressure, when the confinement level becomes high the standard plasticity parameters may not be suitable to obtain reliable results. This paper deals with these limitations and presents an analytically based strategy to fix the parameters of the Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) model. Focusing on a realistic prediction of load-bearing capacity of PSJ RC column…
Memoria de reyes y memorias de la ciudad: Valencia entre la conquista cristiana y el reinado de Fernando el Católico (1238-1476)
2018
La conquista de Valencia en 1238 y la fundación del nuevo reino por la voluntad de Jaime I con la promulgación del marco jurídico de los fueros fueron conmemorados por las instituciones civiles y religiosas de la ciudad capital del reino: la catedral, el monasterio de San Vicente de la Roqueta, el palacio del Real y la Casa de la Ciudad fueron los ámbitos desde los que se elaboró y plasmó en imágenes y arquitectura una visión del pasado de la conquista y la colonización cristiana, invocada a menudo con distintos fines y medios. Este trabajo aborda el estudio de las imágenes y de la arquitectura desde este punto de vista, destacando la diversidad de medios (manuscritos, esculturas, pinturas …
Estudio de la influencia de la técnica y el material de sutura en la exposición prematura del tornillo de cierre en implantes sumergidos
2018
Objetivo: El objetivo principal fue determinar con qué técnica de sutura (anudado simple o doble), y con qué tipo de sutura (sintética o seda), se presentaban menos exposiciones de los tornillos de cierre de los implantes dentales tras las cirugías. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio experimental para investigar si se pueden prevenir y/o eliminar las exposiciones prematuras con un protocolo quirúrgico de colocación de implantes que incluya unas técnicas y unos materiales de sutura que el clínico pueda utilizar de forma habitual. Se seleccionaron pacientes de forma aleatoria para incluirlos en cuatro grupos diferentes (1= grupo sutura seda-simple, 2= grupo sutura seda-doble, 3= grupo sutura …
Gibellina City of Art
2018
The earthquake that hit Western Sicily in 1968 destroyed, among others, the town of Gibellina. Back then, the town was abandoned and a new city was built ex novo at a distance of eighteen kilometres from the original site. The ex novo foundation of a new city requires the interaction of two fundamental components: one characterised by a physical-formal nature, related to urban layout and architectural characterisations, and the other related to socio-cultural issues concerning the relationships between citizens and their city. If the rst component might be dealt with by means of theories and techniques from architectural and urban disciplines, how is it possible to deal with the even more i…

Ambienti aumentati e archeologia dei media
2018
Notoriamente le tecniche di Realtà virtualmente Aumentata (AR) consentono di arricchire la scena “reale” acquisita da un dispositivo portatile – usato come protesi percettiva (indossabile) – integrandovi oggetti di sintesi (virtuali) che figurano tanto verosimilmente in scena da essere giudicati altrettanto “reali”. Sia la Realtà Virtuale (VR), sia la AR, producendo esperienze di telepresenza consapevolmente decettive, funziona come una forma artificiale (protesica e utilitaria) di allucinazione1 consapevole, cioè, di “sogno lucido”. Le differenze tra VR ed AR – con rispettivi pregi e difetti – sono orami fatti noti e dibattuti.2 Da un lato la VR consente di esperire un ambiente “finto” com…
La tutela dei lavoratori tra frammentazione organizzativa e sviluppo tecnologico
2018
L'A. rileva come nei processi di frammentazione organizzativa, realizzati attraverso molteplici strumenti giuridici di esternalizzazione, si assista sempre più frequentemente al ricorso alla contrattazione collettiva pirata, e quindi al ribasso dei trattamenti economico-normativi previsti per i lavoratori. Per far fronte a questo fenomeno, l'A. suggerisce di colmare le lacune del sistema costituzionale causate dalla mancata attuazione dell'art. 39, mediante una legge che vi provveda, imitando il modello del TU sulla rappresentanza del gennaio 2014. Per altro verso, l'A. pone in evidenza la necessità che il diritto del lavoro cerchi di inquadrare le nuove fattispecie di lavoro su piattaforma…

Comment le silence d’André Souris nous parle. A propos de l’article d’André Souris, « Le Silence et la Musique »
2018
Following Christine Esclapez’ research of another musicology, we take the study of the notion of silence of André Souris as an opportunity to think about the specificity of musicological expression. The links between music, musicologist and their audience create a movement of speech, which in turn defines a space of expression. The distance between theoretical speech and its practical application, or the distance between the speaker and the auditor are observable signs of the passing into speech of music, considered as an entity which can’t perish, awaiting an extension. André Souris’ choice is nothing more, and nothing less, than an attempt to bring a conterminous world into existence, cre…
Forecasting the Equity Risk Premium in the European Monetary Union
2018
This article examines the performance of several variables that could be good predictors of the equity risk premium in the European Monetary Union for a period that spans from 2000 to 2015. In-sample, technical indicators display predictive power, matching or exceeding that of traditional economic forecasting variables. We also find consistent results in the fact that combining information from technical and economic variables improves equity risk premium forecasts, compared to using these variables alone. Nevertheless, out-of-sample exercises do not confirm in-sample results. Economic predictors show stronger out-of-sample forecasting ability than technical indicators, and apart from volum…

Zwischen Wissenschaft und Literatur. Der Ort des Schreibens in weltbürgerlicher Absicht
2018
Durch sein Schreiben in weltburgerlicher Absicht kommt Karl Jaspers ein unverwechselbarer Ort unter den philosophischen Schriftstellern vor allem, aber nicht ausschlieslich seiner Zeit zu. Er hat uber ihn nicht – mehr – zusammenhangend nachgedacht, nur fallweise, das allerdings so scharfsinnig, wie es seine Art war. Im Ganzen aber scheint er sich als Autor nicht so wichtig genommen zu haben, dass er es fur notig erachtet hatte, seine Art zu schreiben eingehend zu erklaren. In seiner Philosophischen Autobiographie gibt es blos ein vergleichbar kurzes Kapitel, das vorletzte, das seinen »Schriften im Ganzen« gewidmet ist – und den Schriften im Ganzen mehr als dem Schreiben. Jaspers hat sich da…
Experimental and theoretical study of the energetic, morphological, and photoluminescence properties of CaZrO3:Eu3+
2018
In this study, we present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the geometry, electronic structure, morphology, and photoluminescence properties of CaZrO3:Eu3+ materials. The polymeric precursor method was employed to synthesize CaZrO3:Eu3+ crystals, while density functional theory calculations were performed to determine the geometrical and electronic properties of CaZrO3:Eu3+ in its ground and excited electronic states (singlet and triplet). The results were combined with X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements to elucidate the local structural changes induced by the introduction of Eu3+ in the crystal lattice. This process results in the formation of intermediate levels in the ba…
Perceived Benefit From Hearing Aid Use and Life-Space Mobility Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
2018
Objectives: To examine the association between perceived benefit from hearing aid (HA) use and life-space mobility among older adults. Method: Cross-sectional analysis of 76- to 91-year-old community-dwelling adults ( n = 702). Data on perceived hearing with and without a HA were obtained via postal questionnaire and data on life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment, range = 0-120) via phone interview. Results: Participants who perceived more benefit from HA use, had a better life-space mobility score ( M = 65, SD = 2.6) than participants who had less benefit from using a HA ( M = 55, SD = 3.2). Participants who benefitted more from HA use did not differ from those who did not have a HA (…

Do plant-based biogeographical regions shape aphyllophoroid fungal communities in Europe?
2018
Aim: Aphyllophoroid fungi are associated with plants, either using plants as a resource (as parasites or decomposers) or as symbionts (as mycorrhizal partners). In spite of their strong association with plants, it is unknown how much plant distributions determine their biogeographical patterns compared with environmental factors such as climate and human land use. In this study, our aims are to (1) describe the spatial diversity patterns of aphyllophoroid fungi in Europe and (2) identify the factors shaping these patterns. Location: Europe, as well as the adjacent Subarctic to Arctic islands (Greenland, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Svalbard), Palestine and the south-east coast of the Caspian Sea…

2018
The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale models are being used for weather and air quality studies as well as forecasting tools in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems. In the current study, we perform a comparative assessment of these models under distinct typical atmospheric conditions, classified according to the dominant wind flow and cloudiness, over Eastern Iberian Peninsula. This study is focused on the model representation of key physical processes in terms of meteorology and surface variables during a 7-days period in summer 2011. The hourly outputs produced by these two models are compared not only with observed…
Computational modeling of molecularly imprinted polymers as a green approach to the development of novel analytical sorbents
2018
Abstract The development of novel molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) sorbents for specific chemical compounds require a lot of tedious and time-consuming laboratory work. Significant quantities of solvents and reagents are consumed in the course of the verification of appropriate configurations of polymerization reagents. Implementation of molecular modeling in the MIP sorbent development process appears to provide a solution to this problem. Appropriate simulations and computations facilitate the determination of the nature of interaction between the reagents and thus the selection of the best configuration of chemicals for the preparation of the sorbent. The article presents literature …
Developing an Assessment Method of Active Aging: University of Jyvaskyla Active Aging Scale
2018
Objective: To develop an assessment method of active aging for research on older people. Method: A multiphase process that included drafting by an expert panel, a pilot study for item analysis and scale validity, a feedback study with focus groups and questionnaire respondents, and a test–retest study. Altogether 235 people aged 60 to 94 years provided responses and/or feedback. Results: We developed a 17-item University of Jyvaskyla Active Aging Scale with four aspects in each item (goals, ability, opportunity, and activity; range 0-272). The psychometric and item properties are good and the scale assesses a unidimensional latent construct of active aging. Discussion: Our scale assesses ol…
Gender Injustices in Neoliberal Times. On Nancy Fraser’s Proposal
2018
El artículo se propone elaborar una crítica al neoliberalismo desde una perspectiva de género, empleando la teoría de la justicia de Fraser como marco analítico. Tras recoger la narrativa histórica que Fraser elabora en torno al feminismo de la segunda ola y sus relaciones con el capitalismo, se realiza un análisis pormenorizado de las características del modelo neoliberal según los criterios de redistribución, reconocimiento y representación de la teoría de la justicia de Fraser. Finalmente, se analizan las críticas que diversas teóricas, entre las que destaca Fraser, han realizado a un supuesto feminismo neoliberal, el cual deja intactas las estructuras de dominación económicas y promueve…
Lymphoscintigraphic findings in patients with lipedema.
2018
Introduction: Lipedema is a syndrome that is characterised by edema, an accumulation of fat, pain and haematomas in the lower limbs that principally affects women. Diagnosis is currently based on clinical criteria, since there is no accurate diagnostic imaging for the condition. The aim of our study was to describe the lymphoscintigraphic findings in patients with lipedema. Material and method: A prospective cohort study of women with clinical criteria of lipedema who underwent lymphoscintigraphy. Two independent nuclear physicians described and classified the lymphoscintigraphy findings in different grades of severity, according to the migration and distribution of the radiopharmaceutical.…

Chrząszcze w soli
2018
Kopalnia Soli „Wieliczka” jest obiektem sztucznie stworzonym przez człowieka, dawniej eksploatowanym, obecnie intensywnie odwiedzanym. Dzięki kopalni powstała nowa nisza ekologiczna, którą zaczęły zasiedlać troglofilne organizmy żywe. Jednymi z ciekawszych zwierząt żyjących w tej kopalni są chrząszcze Niptus hololeucus. Naturalnie występują w miejscach niezwiązanych z solnymi systemami podziemnymi, jednak zawleczone przystosowały się do troglobiontycznego trybu życia. Obecnie prowadzone badania ukierunkowane są m.in. na biologiczne i morfologiczne porównanie populacji troglofilnych z kopalni i żyjących poza nią. W tym celu przy pomocy pułapek Barbera pobierane są próby z 13 stanowisk z pozi…
Discrimination in the sharing economy: evidence from a hungarian field experiment on the topic of ridesharing
2018
This paper describes small-scale experimental research (total N=160) implemented in Hungary in summer 2017 by TÁRKI, the Hungarian Social Research Centre. The research was based on a controlled field experimental design and examined the chances of ethnically different testers being offered rides on the most well-known international ridesharing platform. The creation of eight experimental profiles enabled us to test the interaction between two experimental stimuli: ethnic/racial background and gender. The present paper provides evidence of ethnic/racial disproportionality in offers of rides to the different testers by multiethnic drivers. A large-size effect was detected in the case of the A…
