Forte Avalos: tra memoria e oblio, un disegno per ricordare
2020
In 16th century Sicily, in order to deal with the incursions of the Turks and Barbary, the Spanish viceroy government put in place the construction of some maritime forts in order to defend the coasts of the island. Among these, in the port city of Augusta, Avalos fort was built around 1570, a small modern fortification characterized by the particular semicircular floor plan, capable of having a wide radius of action. Various and extensive studies have been conducted on the events and historical representations of the fort also in relation to the fortified maritime system of the Sicilian coasts. However, these studies have not always been related to the actual state of the property, which, …
Using schematic representation of resource systems to examine how first year engineering students use resources in their studies of mathematics
2018
International audience; Very little research has been done on how students use resources when studying mathematics. My project aim to examine this both quantitatively and qualitatively. The qualitative data collection includes hierarchical focus interviews and schematic representation of resource system, with the intent to impose as little terminology as possible on the students.
Transferencia inter-dominios en resolución de problemas : una propuesta instruccional basada en el proceso de «traducción algebraica»
2009
Understanding a science and math word problem means constructing mental representations at different levels of abstraction. Secondary students have dificulties solving algebraic word problems due to the transition from the concrete representation to the mathematic representation. In order to facilitate the «algebraic translation» of the problems, we adapt a «rule to put a problem into equations» by Puig (1998) and insert it in an experimental methodology devoted to improving the inter-domain transfer in science. Results show the power of the instructional methodology to overcome most of the students’ dificulties, no matters their average academic performance.

Union representation and prevention of occupational risks during the crisis: impact and limits
2019
La investigación que presentamos estudia el impacto de la intervención sindical en materia de salud laboral, en lo que se refiere tanto a la gestión preventiva y creación de una cultura participativa como en los procesos de vigilancia y control de las condiciones de trabajo. A tal efecto, se han consultado las principales encuestas nacionales e internacionales sobre gestión de riesgos laborales en las empresas, analizando los datos más relevantes en base a modelos de regresión logística y lineal, lo que ha permitido constatar que la representación sindical de los trabajadores en la empresa (generalista y especializada) correlaciona positivamente con el desarrollo de las principales dimensio…
A Curvature Based Method for Blind Mesh Visual Quality Assessment Using a General Regression Neural Network
2016
International audience; No-reference quality assessment is a challenging issue due to the non-existence of any information related to the reference and the unknown distortion type. The main goal is to design a computational method to objectively predict the human perceived quality of a distorted mesh and deal with the practical situation when the reference is not available. In this work, we design a no reference method that relies on the general regression neural network (GRNN). Our network is trained using the mean curvature which is an important perceptual feature representing the visual aspect of a 3D mesh. Relatively to the human subjective scores, the trained network successfully asses…
Tumori femminili: gli script emozionali del proprio sé corporeo in relazione all’iter terapeutico e alle rappresentazioni del dominio maschile
2015
This text provides on reflection on the effects of experience of female cancer in the emotional sphere and in the gender relations of 36 women of South Italy. The research aimed discussing the role of medicine as a social practice that imposes the domination of traditional representations in which female beauty is equivalent to the physical integrity and full functioning of specific attributes sexed (uterus and breast). It is an analysis particularly focusing on the transformations of perception of body as Körper and the emotions which, cross-sectionally, constitutes the self-perception of Leib. The survey describes how language of medicine and power of male representations performs the sub…
Descrizione di una battaglia. Attori e strategie della prova in un processo per femminicidio
2022
Spostando l’attenzione dalla dimensione della verità a quella della veridizione e analizzando la sentenza come una battaglia dialettica che ridefinisce i confini delle identità degli attori coinvolti, il libro propone l’esame di un caso di femminicidio andato in giudizio nel dicembre del 2015. È l’omicidio di una donna che viene insolitamente definito dai giudici come un femminicidio e il cui movente è rinvenuto nel desiderio di possesso dell’omicida nei confronti della vittima. Un caso del quale la cronaca si è poco occupata, anche per il basso livello socio-economico e culturale di vittima e assassino. A renderne ancor più ricca la narrazione, il fatto che di esso (e della giovane vittima…
The representation of marginalized identities through language use : Study of Character Development in Ali Smith s Hotel World
2009
Käsittelen tutkielmassani kielen keinoja marginalisoituneiden identiteettien representaatiossa. Käytän aineistonani fiktiivistä tekstiä, jonka avulla selvitän menetelmiä, joita kirjailijan on mahdollista hyödyntää identiteettien kielellisessä representaatiossa halutunlaisen kuvan aikaansaamiseksi. Olen erityisen kiin-nostunut marginalisoitumisesta yhteiskunnan sisällä ja valtakulttuurin keskusten läheisyydessä. Haluan tutkielmallani kiinnittää huomiota erilaisuuden kulttuuriin sidottuihin esittämistapoihin ja toivon tuovani alan tutkimukseen tuoretta näkökulmaa käsittelemällä sosiaalista marginalisoitumista fiktiivisen represen-taation kautta. Tutkielmani aineistona toimii Ali Smithin roma…
Autobiographical memory and the self in a single-case of chronic unilateral spatial neglect
2016
International audience; Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is mainly defined as a condition affecting perception and the mental representation of the environment. However, nothing is known about its impact on the ability to mentally represent one's past and on personal identity. We addressed these questions in a case of chronic USN, DR, a 59-year-old right-handed woman, who underwent a variety of measures exploring the self and autobiographical memory (AM). DR showed preserved self-images and her AM performance was only preserved when memories were prompted by her own self-images and not by self-unrelated cues. Our findings are discussed in light of the interconnection between the self and AM.
