Based on recent studies on materiality, picturebook research, and cognitive studies, this paper investigates how children may perceive picturebooks as objects and their material properties. In this regard, we emphasise three dimensions of picturebooks as objects and relate them to developmental stages. The first dimension concerns the materials the picturebooks are composed of, such as paper, cardboard, wood, plastics, and cloth. The second dimension refers to the type of book, e.g. hardbacks, sets of cardboard sheets, fanfold books, pop-up books, and even hybrid objects such as books which are toys at the same time. Finally, this study focuses on the types of actions that are associated wi…
Small-x, Diffraction and Vector Mesons
2015
This talk discusses recent progress in some topics relevant for deep inelastic scattering at small x. We discuss first differences and similarities between conventional collinear factorization and the dipole picture of deep inelastic scattering. Many of the recent theoretical advances at small x are related to taking calculations in the nonlinear saturation regime to next-to-leading order accuracy in the QCD coupling. On the experimental side significant recent progress has been made in exclusive and diffractive processes, in particular in ultraperipheral nucleus-nucleus collisions.
Decreased intersubject synchrony in dynamic valence ratings of sad movie contents in dysphoric individuals
2021
Emotional reactions to movies are typically similar between people. However, depressive symptoms decrease synchrony in brain responses. Less is known about the effect of depressive symptoms on intersubject synchrony in conscious stimulus-related processing. In this study, we presented amusing, sad and fearful movie clips to dysphoric individuals (those with elevated depressive symptoms) and control participants to dynamically rate the clips’ valences (positive vs. negative). We analysed both the valence ratings’ mean values and intersubject correlation (ISC). We used electrodermal activity (EDA) to complement the measurement in a separate session. There were no group differences in either t…
Walking on exoplanets: Is Star Wars right?
2016
As the number of detected extrasolar planets increases, exoplanet databases become a valuable resource, confirming some details about planetary formation, but also challenging our theories with new unexpected properties.
Borgese, Jovine e Silone prefatori per il Touring Club Italiano
2014
Si mettono a sistema tre brevi testi di tipo etnogeografico con cui si sono cimentati Silone, Jovine e Borgese negli anni Trenta-Quaranta del Novecento, concettualizzando e testualizzando i caratteri più peculiari della propria regione di appartenenza. Prenderò in esame la prefazione che Borgese scrisse per Sicilia (Touring Club Italiano, 1933) e le due prefazioni che Silone e Jovine scrissero per Abruzzo e Molise, (Touring Club Italiano, 1948). Mi ripropongo di innestare le ragioni di questi testi nel dibattito sui processi di “orientalizzazione” del Mezzogiorno italiano, intendendo per orientalizzazione i percorsi culturali di tra- sformazione in categoria metastorica e stereotipata dell'…
Understanding of tactile pictures in visual impaired children
2015
The present PhD aims at understanding how Visual Impaired (VI) children process the tactile pictures that illustrate the tactile books specially designed for them. Our work is organized around two main axes of analysis. The first axis concentrates on the child who explores the tactile images, while the second axis focuses on the impact that the properties of these images can have on children’s haptic processing. Our researches included children presenting various degrees of visual impairment but without any associated disorders (in particular, without any cognitive delay), distinguishing early blind children from children with low vision. We also compared their performance with those of sig…
Enseñar estrategias de afrontamiento a padres de niños con cáncer a través de un cortometraje
2010
Este trabajo describe la utilidad de un cortometraje para enseñar estrategias de afrontamiento positivas a los padres de hijos con cáncer. Para la realización del cortometraje se han utilizado los resultados de un trabajo de investigación sobre las estrategias de afrontamiento que utilizan los padres. Los resultados se extrajeron del análisis del discurso de los padres que participaron en un grupo de autoayuda durante ocho sesiones. El cortometraje ha sido evaluado por los psicólogos de todas las asociaciones de padres que forman parte de la Federación de padres de niños enfermos de cáncer. Asimismo, se ha experimentado en sesiones grupales realizadas en las sedes de ASPANION (Asociación de…
Front Cover: Electrochemical Synthesis of Fluorinated Orthoesters from 1,3‐Benzodioxoles (ChemistryOpen 9/2019)
2019
The Front Cover shows the robustness achieved by the installation of fluorinated alcohols on 1,3‐benzodioxoles, which appears like the shield of a knight protecting the obtained orthoesters against acids and bases. The simple protocol allows access to interesting compounds, whose lipophilicity is tremendously increased by the incorporation of fluorinated groups. This makes it possible to adjust the physicochemical properties of the biologically active 1,3‐benzodioxole motif. The surprisingly high stability against acids and bases gives rise to subsequent functionalizations or direct application in medicinal or agrochemistry. More information can be found in the Communication by J. L. Röckl …
The damped harmonic oscillator in deformation quantization
2005
We propose a new approach to the quantization of the damped harmonic oscillator in the framework of deformation quantization. The quantization is performed in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture by a star-product induced by a modified "Poisson bracket". We determine the eigenstates in the damped regime and compute the transition probability between states of the undamped harmonic oscillator after the system was submitted to dissipation.
A metabolism of Adam and Eve: Damien Hirst meets Edvard Munch
2016
Sari Kuuva, University of Jyvaskyla Sari Kuuva, PhD (in cognitive science, 2007 and art history, 2010) is a post-doctoral researcher who works at the Department of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Jyvaskyla. She has studied the relationship between art, aesthetics and psychology, particularly the concept of the symbol and the problematics of experiencing and creating visual art. Among Kuuva’s main publications relating to the art of Edvard Munch are: Symbol, Munch and Creativity: Metabolism of Visual Symbols (University of Jyvaskyla 2010); ‘Emotional creativity in art: case scream’ in Mind and Matter: Selected Papers of Nordic 2009 Conference for Art Historians (Helsinki, Socie…
