A novel noise figure and gain test set for microwave devices
2002
A new instrument for the measurement of noise and gain of microwave devices is presented. It differs from the commercial ones in the accomplishment of the gain measurement and is also useful for measuring mismatched devices such as transistors, The instrument is driven via HP-IB by a PC and a user-friendly virtual panel is designed to perform all the required operations. Also included is the possibility of removing the second-stage noise contribution and correcting various sources of error (source ENR variations, temperature variations, etc.). The test set provides a very good accuracy for both matched and mismatched devices, usually limited by source ENR accuracy and step attenuator repeat…
Dioniso a Centuripe: iconografia ‘teatrale’ e imagerie dionisiaca in contesto funerario
2021
The purpose of the paper is to bring together and to assess some strands of the funerary imagery elaborated in Centuripe (Sicily) in 3rd-1st centuries B.C., that until recently have been viewed in total isolation from each other. Dionysian themes and motifs have been variously identified in the local polychrome pottery, since the discovery, early in 20th century, of two impressive vases representing Dionysos himself in a relaxed pose; as opposed to the prevailing “bacchic-orphic” explanation, however, from the second half of past century the nuptial theme was considered to be the most important of the Centuripan vase inventory; finally, some scholars have argued that the repertory was not s…
Obraz Hrista v romane Čingiza Ajtmatova "Plaha"
2011
Aitmatov introduced a biblical motif into his novel – he chose Christ examination by Pilate. The writer extended the meaning of the scene, he altered its essence and “genre,” changing it into philosophical disputation. He also invented the story of Christ sailing with his mother on the Nile and their miraculous rescue by a crocodile. These scenes are presented in such a way that they remind the myth of the birth and death of Christ which allows rating Aitmatov's figure of Christ to the fifth category of literary embodiment of Christ proposed by T. Ziołkowski and called CHRIST AS A MYTH. A figure of Christ in the novel is a symbol of the highest perfection of humanity.
New media and perennial problems in foreign language learning and teaching
2015
The book concerns the ways in which the new media shape communication along with educational expectations and practices in foreign language classrooms. Although foreign language learners have cheap and easy access to information and ways of communication, they also wrestle with problems that have always accompanied language learning. The focus of the book is two-fold. On the one hand, the authors demonstrate how using social networks, videoconferencing, mobile phones, wikis, and computer-mediated interaction contributes to the development of language skills, negotiated interaction, autonomy, and intercultural competence. On the other, they discuss “old” issues pertaining to the role of voca…
La committenza gesuitica e la pittura a Palermo tra XVI e XVIII secolo
Il presente lavoro di ricerca mira ad approfondire e arricchire, mediante nuove acquisizioni, lo studio in merito alle opere pittoriche di committenza gesuitica custodite presso le fondazioni palermitane dell’Ordine: chiesa del Gesù a Casa Professa, Collegio Massimo dei Gesuiti, chiesa di San Stanislao Kostka e chiesa di San Francesco Saverio. A queste si aggiungono i dipinti di committenza della Compagnia trasferiti presso altre sedi. Ulteriore intento è quello di organizzare in maniera più organica la trattazione delle commissioni artistiche dell’Ordine a Palermo, che si presentava dispersiva e frammentaria. Tra i risultati più significativi si annovera il ritrovamento di un ciclo di affr…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2018
La siguiente investigación pretende analizar en qué medida los recursos educativos, en este caso los libros de texto, contribuyen a la alfabetización visual del alumnado de Educación Primaria en Ciencias Sociales. Este tipo de alfabetización es un aspecto fundamental en cualquier etapa educativa tal y como ha venido confirmando la investigación hasta fechas muy recientes. Para ello se han seleccionado los manuales más utilizados en un determinado espacio geográfico desde 2006 y se han analizado siguiendo un método de investigación que combina procedimientos cuantitativos (ex post-facto) y cualitativos (análisis mediante categorías conceptuales) aplicándolos sobre las actividades relacionada…
Figuration/Figure/Form
2020
It is still Weizsäcker to show that rather than a clear contrast (usually already referring to the names of Plato and Aristotle and to the competition between the concepts of eidos and morphé) it is a necessary correlation and a way through which the fundamental problem of unity of knowledge is placed.
Engraved in the Body: Ways of Reading Finnish People’s Memories of Mental Hospitals
2021
AbstractFinnish psychiatric practice has been heavily based on institutionalization. Mental hospitals have thus been part of Finns’ lives in many ways. Our multidisciplinary research group has investigated how experiences in these institutions are remembered today by analysing writings by patients, relatives, personnel and their children, collected in 2014–2015 with the Finnish Literature Society. The memories cover phases of psychiatric care from the 1930s to the mid-2010s. This article presents multiple ways in which experiences that are often difficult verbalize can be interpreted, e.g. by drawing on perspectives from creative, artistic and cultural studies. Collecting and archiving the …
La "lotta" alla criminalità organizzata
2020
Il contributo considera possibilità, limiti e condizioni dell’intervento del diritto penale nell’ampio fronte delle misure di contrasto al crimine organizzato. Si nega in primo luogo che tale forma di criminalità abbia una natura meramente temporanea e contingente, e che dunque la relativa normativa di contrasto possa confinarsi ad una pur grave, ma sempre circoscritta stagione dell’emergenza. Si procede quindi con una verifica della materia alla luce delle due teorie del diritto penale del nemico e del diritto penale di lotta. La conclusione nega l’utilizzabilità di formule così generali, per ragioni di ordine costituzionale e di caratteri costitutivi dell’intervento penale, e si pronuncia…
