Lucrezio e Carlo Magno. A proposito dell’epistola di Dungal sulle eclissi (MGH Epistolae IV Karolini aevi II, pp. 570-578)
2021
It is generally assumed that Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura disappeared with the end of antiquity and did not reappear until Poggio Bracciolini’s rediscovery (1417). Yet, the oldest and most valuable manuscripts of DRN were copied in the Carolingian age and reflect a high degree of attention to Lucretius’ text and its content. In the present paper, I argue that by studying more carefully the origin and diffusion of Lucretian manuscripts in Carolingian Europe, it is possible to detect an almost unrecognized connection between textual tradition, grammatical erudition, and literary imitatio. In the first section, I offer an overview of the reception of DRN in such representative ninth-century writ…
Benefit of hearing aid use in the elderly: the impact of age, cognition and hearing impairment
2018
Il beneficio protesico e il ruolo delle abilità cognitive, dell’età e del deficit uditivo nel paziente anziano.Questo studio analizza il beneficio protesico in un campione di soggetti anziani (n = 102, età media 81,1 anni), indagando il ruolo svolto dall’età, dal deficit uditivo e dalle abilità cognitive. Il beneficio protesico è stato valutato sia come miglioramento delle caratteristiche audiometriche con protesi (in termini di soglie tonali e soglie di percezione del parlato in quiete e nel rumore) sia come diminuzione della percezione della disabilità e dell’handicap dovuti alla ipoacusia. Sono state valutate diverse abilità cognitive, tra cui la memoria a breve termine, le funzioni esec…
Preface
2018
This book represents the third noteworthy product of the Memità Network. The essays within this book constitute a critical approach from a linguistic and cultural point of view regarding authoritarianism’s reception in the media. In particular, the work opens up with a session whose purpose is to demonstrate the role of colonial press as an instrument of identity construction.
Architectures for the reception in Lampedusa
2016
Il percorso di ricerca e di didattica è stato orientato alla conoscenza dei luoghi di forte valenza architettonica e paesaggistica, interessati da fenomeni di immigrazione che definiscono sempre più i nuovi paesaggi architettonici e sociali delle nostre città. Il Laboratorio di Progettazione Architettonica di terzo anno (A.A. 2011-2012 e 2012-2013) svolto insieme ai progetti di laurea ha avuto come obiettivo il progetto di architettura per l’accoglienza a Lampedusa come risposta ai problemi dell’abitare dei migranti che approdano continuamente nell’isola. Questo tema legato a quello delle migrazioni, reso ancora più complesso dalle recenti continue migrazioni dal Nord-Africa, ha rappresenta…
Joint LMMSE equalizer for HSDPA in full-rate space time transmit diversity schemes
2005
This contribution presents a joint linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) equalizer for full-rate space-time transmit diversity multi-code schemes based on W-CDMA, featuring two and four transmit antennas. Specifically, high-rate, high load systems are targeted, in order to analyze the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) of 3GPP Release 6. We derive an equivalent transmission scheme to equalize the received sufficient statistic in a single stage. To reduce the effects of multipath and multiuser interference, and to provide spatial and frequency diversity at the receiver, an LMMSE equalizer is employed. Computer simulations confirm that the proposed schemes achieve robust performance…
Recepció crítica de Crim de Germania, de Josep Lozano
2014
El present estudi ofereix una anàlisi de la recepció crítica de l’obra Crim de Germania, de l’escriptor valencià Josep Lozano, publicada per primera vegada a l’abril de 1980 per l’editorial Tres i Quatre, que permet fixar els elements a l’entorn dels quals s’ha anat elaborant la lectura de la novel·la i la seua evolució temporal. Durant més de trenta anys, Crim de Germania ha sigut objecte de nombroses valoracions crítiques a la premsa i en publicacions periòdiques de diversa índole a tot arreu dels territoris de parla catalana. L’estudi s’ha dividit en tres etapes: la primera s’inicia amb la publicació del llibre i conclou l’any 1981; la segona comprén el período des de 1982 fins al 2004, …
Interpreting Distress Narratives in Italian Reception Centres: The need for caution when negotiating empathy
2020
This paper examines the interpreting of migrant narratives in reception centres in Italy, based on first-hand data collected by the authors, and discusses the potential risks of empathic bonding. The data consists in recorded mediated interactions between migrants, public service interpreters and service providers, as well as recorded interviews. The data show how asylum seekers and migrants construct their narratives both to reflect their own life experiences and to be as persuasive as possible to improve the chances of a successful asylum application. Public service interpreters – or ‘language mediators’ as they are termed in the Italian setting – may struggle to position themselves profe…
Filodemo, Cicerone, Nepote: a proposito del contesto storico-culturale di Oec. Col. XXII.9-48
2018
Until recently, Philodemus’ treatise On Household Management (Περὶ οἰκονομίας, PHerc. 1424) has been mainly used as a source for the reconstruction of early Epicurean economic thought (especially of Metrodorus’ writing Περὶ πλούτου). Over the past few years, however, scholars have called attention to Philodemus’ creative (yet philosophically orthodox) readaptation of Epicurean ethical and social theories to the needs of contemporary Roman society. Following this scholarly line, the present paper reassesses a passage from On Household Management (col. XXII.9–48) which has so far been interpreted as an unoriginal repetition of Metrodorus’ arguments, and situates it in the cultural context of …

Proximity Violence in Migration Times. A Focus in some Regions of Italy, France and Spain
2019
This volume, edited by Ignazia Bartholini, principal investigator of the PROVIDE - Proximity on Violence: Defence and Equity project (Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme - 2014-2020) funded by the EU, shifted the interpretative focus of its research from gender-based to proximity violence. This theoretical intuition-assertion, fruitful too at empirical level, is informed by a wide-scale reconstruction of the phenomenon of migratory violence and corroborated by the results of the action research carried out by six international teams ˗ Ismu, Oxfam, Telefono Donna, Badia Grande, Aseis Lagarto, Samù International, the University of Jaén and the University of Palermo. Systems of protecti…
