Introduzione
2005
The Introductory word explains the role and scope of music historiography during the second half of 19th-Century Italy. At that time, historiographers were oriented to discover the value and the ideal place of musical oeuvre, rethinking music periodization through different paradigms and philosophies.
Chi ha bisogno della mobilità? Per una critica situata del new mobilities paradigm
2021
Nei vent’anni trascorsi dalla pubblicazione di “Sociology Beyond Societies” di John Urry (2000), il testo che ha anticipato e ispirato il successivo mobility turn nelle scienze sociali, si è assistito a un proliferare di discorsi sulla mobilità che hanno travalicato dipartimenti, riviste e discipline portando al centro della scena migrazioni, flussi turistici, viaggi virtuali, trasporti di merci e persone. Obiettivo di questo contributo è di indagare criticamente i processi e le condizioni di produzione del mobility turn e di rileggerne contenuti, attori e metodologie all’interno dell’operazione strategica che l’ha sostenuto. In particolare, muovendo da una delle domande fondative della geo…
PenRed: An extensible and parallel Monte-Carlo framework for radiation transport based on PENELOPE
2021
Monte Carlo methods provide detailed and accurate results for radiation transport simulations. Unfortunately, the high computational cost of these methods limits its usage in real-time applications. Moreover, existing computer codes do not provide a methodology for adapting these kind of simulations to specific problems without advanced knowledge of the corresponding code system, and this restricts their applicability. To help solve these current limitations, we present PenRed, a general-purpose, stand-alone, extensible and modular framework code based on PENELOPE for parallel Monte Carlo simulations of electron-photon transport through matter. It has been implemented in C++ programming lan…
Study on difficulties and misconceptions with modern type systems
2014
Functional programming is often presented as an advantageous programming paradigm by its advocates, but many students and teachers consider it to be hard to learn. One particular hurdle in learning functional programming is mastering the modern type systems employed in these languages. In this article, we identify student difficulties with means of multiple choice questions embedded into the on-line materials of an introductory functional programming course. The most prevalent misconceptions were confusing with parametric polymorphism with subtyping, the assigning too much meaning to variables names, and confounding general language patterns with special cases.
El diàleg paradigmàtic en Educació Social: la simulació com una manera d'ensenyar i aprendre en les aules universitàries
2012
El text presenta una pràctica de simulació a l'aula, realitzada -en els últims anys- amb estudiants que han cursat l'assignatura de 'Pedagogia Social' a la Diplomatura d'Educació Social i en la Llicenciatura de Pedagogia (ara Graus), a la Facultat de Ciències de l'Educació de la Universitat de Santiago de Compostel la. Amb un enfocament didàctic innovador, en què els alumnes adquireixen un protagonisme directe en els processos d'ensenyament-aprenentatge que es proposen, els seus plantejaments metodològics es projecten en un 'diàleg paradigmàtic' que pren com a referència els tres models de racionalitat teòrica (teories) als que sol remetre la Pedagogia-Educació Social: tecnològic, interpret…
Usability of Programming Languages
2016
Programming languages form the interface between programmers (the users) and the computation that they desire the computer to execute. Although studies exist for some aspects of programming language design (such as conditionals), other aspects have received little or no human factors evaluations. Designers thus have little they can rely on if they want to make new languages highly usable, and users cannot easily chose a language based on usability criteria. This SIG will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in increasing the depth and breadth of studies on the usability of programming languages, and ultimately in improving the usability of future languages. nonPeerReviewed
The Design and Execution of Performance Management Systems at State Level: A Comparative Analysis of Italy and Malaysia
2016
ABSTRACTThis comparative study analyses the experience of Italy and Malaysia in the design and execution of performance management systems at the state level. The article investigates how performance management systems have changed over the past decades, the motivations behind their metamorphoses, their common elements across the two countries, and what accounts for the respective progress. It also investigates the role that the institutional framework plays in making performance management systems robust. The study presents policy recommendations on how governments can create more robust performance management systems for enhanced accountability and transparency in an age of resource const…
Bioprogressive Paradigm in Physiotherapeutic and Antiaging Strategies: A Review
2018
This review updates the knowledge on the use of bioprogressive philosophy in current rehabilitation paradigms, focusing on age-related ailments and antiaging strategies. It is a holistic approach that combines aspects of biology and function into the realm of rehabilitation therapy. The bioprogressive philosophy, with assistance of modern technological developments, such as microgravity-producing devices and techniques, enables personalized and targeted therapeutic approach that seems the most effective in rehabilitation and prevention of neuro-myo-sensory disorders that compromise the homeostatic body harmony, particularly in old age. The review defines the aging, discusses the most common…
"Los granicznej krainy". Śląsk Cieszyński w socjologicznej refleksji Jana Szczepańskiego
2021
The article is an attempt to reconstruct the image of Cieszyn Silesia contained in the works of Jan Szczepański. The author presents the most important elements of the image of Silesia (the Polish part of Silesia, i.e. the Silesian Voivodeship at that time) drawn by Szczepański in the interwar period, and the image of Cieszyn Silesia in the post-war period. In his opinion, the essence of Silesian reality is conflict and struggle. Treating Cieszyn Silesia as a borderland area with a strongly outlined cultural, religious (Protestant) and aesthetic distinctiveness, he argues about its Polishness, emphasizing that it is a misunderstood region in Poland. The author believes that in Jan Szczepańs…
Modular Paradigm for Composites: Modeling Hydrothermal Degradation of Glass Fibers
2021
Fiber-reinforced composite materials are often used in structural applications in humid, marine, and offshore environments. Superior mechanical properties are compromised by environmental ageing and hydrolytic degradation. Glass fibers are the most broadly used type of fiber reinforcement to date. However, they are also most severely affected by environmental degradation. The glass fiber degradation rates depend on: (1) glass formulation; (2) environmental factors: pH, T, stress; (3) sizing; (4) matrix polymer; (5) fiber orientation and composite layup. In this short review (communication), seven modules within the Modular Paradigm are reviewed and systematized. These modeling tools, encomp…
