Opals infiltrated with a stimuli-responsive hydrogel for ethanol vapor sensing
2013
We report on a novel class of optical materials for ethanol vapor sensing, based on polystyrene opals infiltrated with an innovative stimuli responsive hydrogel. We describe the fabrication process of the bare polystyrene opals and their subsequent infiltration. The optical characterization of the photonic crystal templates was performed to prove the good quality of the samples. Measurements on the infiltrated opals showed that the transmission spectra in the visible range strongly change at varying concentrations of ethanol vapor. The fabricated structures show a linear optical response in the visible range, for high values of ethanol concentration.
Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement
2016
In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …
Testimonies of chilean exile: beetween public protest and the working through of trauma.
2007
El artículo analiza rol de los testimonios de supervivientes de los campos de concentración chilenos, que fueron publicados en los primeros años tras el golpe militar de Pinochet en 1973. El artículo se centra en dos elementos principales. Por una parte, en el rol cumplido por los testimonios en la protesta internacional contra la dictadura de Pinochet. Por otra parte, en el modo en que la escritura testimonial participó de la elaboración del trauma de la violencia militar. The article analizes the role accomplished by the testimonies of survivors of concentration camps in Chile, wich were published in the early years after the military putsch of Pinochet on 1973. The article focuses in two…
Emotional politics on Facebook. An exploratory study of Podemos’ discourse during the European election campaign 2014
2015
The results of the European elections 2014 in Spain were characterized by the outstanding rise of a new party, Podemos, which obtained five seats in the European Parliament, despite being founded few months before the elections. The present study analyzes both the content and the presence of emotions in Podemos’ discourse on Facebook during the European electoral campaign. In particular, the affective content of both the party’s discourse and the comments of its followers will be analyzed through a pragmatic linguistic approach applied to a corpus of 163 posts and 215 followers’ comments. Results show an insistence on positive emotions in the party’s discourse and a prevalence of negative e…
Anti-Speciesist Rhetoric
2017
The various laws protecting animals that were established in Nazi Germany (but for the most part were never put into effect) had, among others, the aim of marking the taxonomic and ontological distance between pure animals and impure sub-humans (Jews, homosexuals, the Roma). The attention to and respect for the alpha predator and noble animals was a vertiginous ignoratio elenchi of the concentration camps. With analogous fallacy, today’s anti-human and anti-speciesist eco-fascism, which regularly makes use of the reductio ad Hitlerum (“meat-eaters = Nazis”), avails itself in an irrational and populist way of the rudimentary argumentum ad personam typical of xenophobic and racist propaganda.…

Cibo e banchetto rituale nella festa della Beata Vergine del Miracolo di Lula
2019
Sul consumo di alimenti nell’ambito delle feste campestri si tenta di ragionare nel contributo, assumendo a caso emblematico i festeggiamenti che annualmente si rinnovano a Lula, centro rurale in provincia di Nuoro, in onore della Madonna del Miracolo. La costruzione del santuario e l’istituzione della festa sono relativamente recenti (1899) e ciò consente di documentare più agevolmente sensi e funzioni di un tipo di occorrenze cerimoniali diffuse in tutta l’isola, che presentano un iter rituale pressoché analogo e che rimandano a un simbolismo rituale proprio di una società tradizionale di tipo agropastorale. L’esempio preso in esame consentirà di rilevare, inoltre, quando e in che misura …

Crassula campestris(Eckl. & Zeyh.) Endl.(Crassulaceae), a new record for the Italian flora
1998
Abstract Brullo, S., Campo, G., Marceno, C., Romano, S. & Siracusa, G.: Crassula campestris (Eckl. & Zeyh.) Endl. (Crassulaceae), a new record for the Italian flora. — Willdenowia 28: 53–58. 1998. — ISSN 0511-9618. Crassula campestris, a species widespread in S Africa, was discovered in Sicily near Palermo, which is a new record for the Italian flora. A description and illustration of C. campestris is provided and the species is compared with C. tillaea and C. basaltica, the two other Crassula species in Sicily.
