Virgin and Child sculptures in Buenos Aire’s public collections, 12th to 16th centuries
2016
During the last years, the building process and history of art collections became a prolific field of study in Argentina. However, research on medieval art in private and public collections in our country received little or no attention. But even if medieval art is considerably less represented than modern styles, there is an interesting amount of high quality medieval pieces exhibited at several museums in Argentina. The main purpose of this thesis is therefore to expand our knowledge of the medieval works of art in public Argentine collections, as related to their origin, dating, interpretation, technique and provenance. These pieces show great diversity of styles, provenance and techniqu…
Religious and spiritual motifs in the art of the patients of Nikkilä Hospital
2021
This article focuses on religiousness and spirituality in the art works of psychiatric patients of Nikkilä Hospital, Finland. The pictures analysed here belong to a collection held at the Helsinki City Museum and they were made during the twentieth century. The theoretical frame of the study is a cultural study of mental health. The collection is approached as presenting a specific kind of imagery which has connections not only to the personal history and diagnoses of the patients; their cultural context and hospital environment is also taken into account. The religiousness and spirituality of the Nikkilä collection are also compared with outsider art and examples of art history internation…
Treating madness and collecting the 'art of the insane' : asylum art during the nineteenth century : an archeology of Art Brut
2019
Treating madness and collecting the "art of the insane". Asylum art during the nineteenth century : an archeology of Art Brut.This work is about artifacts made by patients in asylums during the XIXth and the beginning of the XXth century: from their entrance into scientific collections and publications, until the first exhibitions into art galleries during the 1920's. We will try to show how, thanks to the role of some personalities of medical, litterary and artistic areas, the medical status of those creations will be overtaken and they will begin to invest artistic scene.

L’art. 28 dello Statuto e le trasformazioni del lavoro: cinquant’anni portati bene, ma non troppo
2020
L’art. 28 dello Statuto dei lavoratori ha attraversato un cinquantennio di storia del conflitto sindacale italiano. Si tratta di un rimedio ancora attuale, che necessità di un intervento manutentivo alla luce delle trasformazioni del diritto del lavoro. Partendo dalla validità del modello normativo, il saggio individua le criticità per il legislatore in una prospettiva de jure condendo.
Artes marciales japonesas: prácticas corporales representativas de su identidad cultural
2011
La implantación y difusión de las artes marciales japonesas en Occidente supuso la importación de prácticas socioculturales privadas de las premisas de su contexto de origen. ¿Cómo afrontar estas prácticas que son ajenas a nuestra identidad cultural? Una interpretación estricta exige entenderlas como prácticas corporales con una idiosincrasia cultural, caracterizadas por incorporar una experiencia vivencial en la que el cuerpo ocupa un lugar preeminente. Su enseñanza y aprendizaje se establecen a través de un sistema triangular integrado por una esencia espiritual, una forma técnica y una estructura física (sin-gi-tai), que se inserta en un proceso singular (shu-ha-ri).
Modelling and analysis of real-world wind turbine power curves: Assessing deviations from nominal curve by neural networks
2019
Abstract The power curve of a wind turbine describes the generated power versus instantaneous wind speed. Assessing wind turbine performance under laboratory ideal conditions will always tend to be optimistic and rarely reflects how the turbine actually behaves in a real situation. Occasionally, some aerogenerators produce significantly different from nominal power curve, causing economic losses to the promoters of the investment. Our research aims to model actual wind turbine power curve and its variation from nominal power curve. The study was carried out in three different phases starting from wind speed and related power production data of a Senvion MM92 aero-generator with a rated powe…
