“Maria-nuova Eva”: un’insolita iconografia per un’Immacolata Concezione alabastrina del XVIII secolo
2015
Protagonista dell’articolo è un’inedita Immacolata Concezione in alabastro dorato e dipinto individuata in una collezione privata dell’isola di Malta. Particolarmente affascinante risulta la sua iconografia, che afferma con forza il dogma dell’Immacolata Concezione, e quindi l’assoluta innocenza spirituale della Vergine, ma anche il suo ruolo salvifico svolto in favore dell’umanità intera, privata della redenzione per l’errore commesso dalla progenitrice Eva. The article is dealing with an unpublished Immaculate Conception in gilded and painted alabaster located in a private collection of the island of Malta. Its iconography is very attractive. It firmly establishes the dogma of the Immacul…
Improvisation et processus compositionnel dans la genèse de Fenêtre Ovale de Karl Naëgelen
2015
Improvisation and Compositional Process in Karl Naëgelen’s Fenêtre Ovale
 This paper is centred around the analysis of the creative process underlying the genesis of a recent work of music by French composer Karl Naëgelen, Fenêtre Ovale (2011), written in collaboration with two free improvisers active on the Parisian scene, Ève Risser (piano) and Joris Rühl (clarinet). This piece is remarkable in that, contrary to the vast majority of works composed in a so-called “comprovisation” framework, where the interaction between the composed and the improvised elements essentially takes place during the moments of performance, its score never actually requires any act of improvisation from its…
IDENTIFYING STUDENTS’ WAYS OF LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL
2019
The Mathematics study course is one of the core subjects in study programs of Technical Universities. To acquire this course successfully it is necessary to have mathematics background of sufficiently high quality. The authors of this paper recognize the difficulties first year students face due of their insufficient mathematical knowledge.Today, universities emphasize independent study work by students and allocate special time slots for this. To be successful, students need to plan their study time, use appropriate learning methods, and have motivation. Because of the significance of students’ individual work, a questionnaire was developed to research how students plan their time and acti…
Teollisen internetin määrittely kirjallisuudessa
2016
Teollisen internetin (engl. Industrial Internet) käsite ei ole täysin vakiintunut kirjallisuudessa. Sillä on useita erilaisia englanninkielisiä vastineita, joiden määrittelyt poikkeavat jonkin verran toisistaan. Teollisella internetillä tarkoitetaan usein teknologisia ratkaisuja, joilla pyritään luomaan teollisia sovelluksia prosessien optimointiin, tehostamiseen, mittaamiseen ja tarkkailuun. Laiteverkolla (engl. Internet of Things) taas tarkoitetaan teknologiaa, joka mahdollistaa internetin laajentumiseen tavanomaisilta alustoilta omaan ympäristöömme: vaatteisiin, huonekaluihin ja kulkuneuvoihin. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa tutkittiin teollisen internetin määrittelyä kirjallisuudessa. Katsauk…
Assessing infertility-related stress: The factor structure of the Fertility Problem Inventory in Italian couples undergoing infertility treatment
2015
The factor structure of the Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI) and its invariance across gender were examined in Italian couples undergoing infertility treatment. About 1000 subjects (both partners of 500 couples) completed two questionnaires prior to commencing infertility treatment at a private Clinic in Palermo, Italy. Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated that the original factor structure of the FPI was partially confirmed. Two correlated factors (Infertility Life Domains and Importance of Parenthood) were obtained via a post hoc Exploratory Factor Analysis. Finally, the invariance of this factor structure across gender was confirmed. The study supported the relevance of two interre…
On the Nature of Information Management in Complex and Natural Disasters
2015
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present reflections on the nature of information management (IM) and its role and function to support coordination in one of the largest humanitarian crises of our time, the Syria crisis. Starting from general principles for humanitarian information management, we analyze the challenges that information managers face in conflict situations, when information is – more than anywhere else – a source of power and influence. This work outlines the interdependence of advocacy and operational information management, the sensitivity of information, and barriers to information sharing. The results are complex and highly interlaced information and coordination…
The Results of Changing the Current Solution Concept of Universal Motor Gear Reducers with Helical Gears
2021
By analysing and comparing the existing solutions of universal gear reducers with helical gears of the leading manufacturers, it can be noticed the effort to increase the load capacity of the gear reducer within the same axis height. In this way, the manufacturers can offer smaller (cheaper) gear reducers, as well as to simultaneously increase the values of the largest gear ratios. This concept enables the offer of lower-stage (cheaper) gear reducers with higher gear ratios in certain segments of gear ratios. By these efforts, it is reached the maximum, but the further increase is possible only by changing the current concept of universal gear drives. Within this paper, it is given an overv…
Regional Susceptibility in VCD Spectra to Dynamic Molecular Motions
2018
Experimental and theoretical studies of the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum of 3-methyl-1-(methyldiphenlsilyl)-1-phenylbutan-1-ol, whose absolute configuration is key to elucidating the Brook rearrangement of tertiary benzylic α-hydroxylsilanes, are presented. It is found that the entire OH-bending region in this spectrum—a region that provides important marker bands—cannot be reproduced at all by standard theoretical approaches even though other regions are well described. Using a novel approach to disentangle contributions to the rotational strength of these bands, internal coordinates are identified that critically influence the appearance of this part of the spectrum. We s…
El descubrimiento de nuevos fármacos, concepto umbral en farmacología.
2021
[EN] The so-called “threshold concepts” are present in all areas of study. Its acquisition by the student represents a milestone in the advancement of the conceptual understanding of a subject. They are often difficult to learn, but when they are overcome they generate a reconceptualization that allows progress and deepening in the subject of study. We present an activity designed to develop a key threshold concept in pharmacology, the drug discovery process. To do this, we develop a practical laboratory project that will integrate both the extraction and search for active ingredients and the simulation of some aspects of their clinical trials in the phase I.
Social Constructionist and Social Engineer
2021
This chapter follows the times series of the previous chapter. It is not just the scale of the problem that distinguishes one stage from another but also the nature of the problem. When social entrepreneurs try to shift the context in an institutional approach, they have to face some issues previously described in the second part of the book. This case study exemplifies what these issues are, linked to the concept of legitimacy, and the strategies carried out by the social entrepreneur to overcome them.
