Oddawanie czci władcy w Rzymie w okresie cesarstwa na przykładzie manus velatae i silentiarii
2019
During the Roman Empire period, the ruler was venerated in many ways. Prostration, proskynesis, referring to the emperor as dominus; adora-tio purpurae; manus velatae; observing the ritual silence; and other rituals were supposed to strengthen the emperor’s authority. During the period of Dominate, the Roman freedom was replaced by etiquette at the imperial court. This article discusses only two examples of veneration of the ruler in the Roman Empire period, namely manus velatae and silentiarii. The manus velatae ritual consisted of giving hands covered with a cloth to the ruler and receiving objects from him in such hands. The gesture had already been encountered in many ancient cultures, …
Todo tosco y sin labrar: el model conventual de santa Teresa i el seu reflex en la normativa arquitectònica de l’orde carmelità descalç
2015
Resum: El concepte de vida de clausura plantejat per santa Teresa va determinar la naturalesa de les edificacions escomeses en el si de la congregació de carmelites descalços. La senzillesa i l’estretor requerits per la fundadora en l’establiment dels nous convents esdevingueren preceptes d’obligat compliment per part de les autoritats de l’orde, i quedaren recollits en les diverses constitucions internes generades al llarg dels segles XVI, XVII i XVIII. Aquest article analitza els models constructius establerts des dels inicis de l’existència de la congregació i la manera en què van ser aplicats amb posterioritat. Paraules clau: santa Teresa, carmelites descalços, normativa, convent, traça…
Virtual tour through the towers of the defensive system in the province of Salerno
2019
The coastal towers of the defensive system in the province of Salerno are architectures developed over time; they are buildings belonging to an extended strategic plan of the coastal territory useful to defend populations and cities from the ancient enemy attacks. Hence, their location comes from careful studies in which the orographic characteristics of the place and the visual connection between a tower and another played a fundamental role.The aim of this work is to focus the attention on the visual communication between the towers, or on the “dialogue” that the different artefacts entertain each other. In order to pursue this objective, a virtual tour that connects the different ancient…
Il Palazzo Cutò di Bagheria
1995
Disegnata dal frate Giuseppe Mariani, la villa-palazzo di Luigi Naselli, Principe di Aragona, fu edificata nella seconda decade del Settecento. Attraverso una originale indagine archivistica la monografia ricostruisce le fasi della sua edificazione, le trasformazioni, l'importante passaggio di proprietà ai Filangeri di Cutò nel 1803, i rifacimenti intervenuti nelle sale interne tra la metà dell'Ottocento e i primi del Novecento, i rapporti con il fenomeno più ampio dell'architettura delle ville. Lo studio si interrompe con il primo dopoguerra, che registra il passaggio dalla proprietà aristocratica - la villa era stata ereditata da Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa - ad alcuni gruppi familiari d…
Exploring the sense distributions of homographs
2006
This paper quantitatively investigates in how far local context is useful to disam-biguate the senses of an ambiguous word. This is done by comparing the co-occurrence frequencies of particular context words. First, one context word representing a certain sense is chosen, and then the co-occurrence frequencies with two other context words, one of the same and one of another sense, are compared. As expected, it turns out that context words belonging to the same sense have considerably higher co-occurrence frequencies than words belonging to different senses. In our study, the sense inventory is taken from the University of South Florida homograph norms, and the co-occurrence counts are based…
H2S: A Secure and Efficient Data Aggregative Retrieval Scheme in Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks
2009
In unattended wireless sensor networks, data are stored locally and retrieved on demand. To efficiently transmit the collector’s retrieval results, data are aggregated along being forwarded. The data confidentiality and integrity should be protected at the intermediate nodes. End-to-end encryption or hop-by-hop encryption based schemes are not efficient. Straightforward homomorphic encryption based scheme is not compromise resilient. To achieve all the desires, we propose a scheme - H2S by making use of both homomorphic secret sharing and homomorphic encryption. The security and efficiency of our scheme are justified by extensive analysis.
Effects of heat and cold on health, with special reference to Finnish sauna bathing.
2018
Environmental stress such as extremely warm or cold temperature is often considered a challenge to human health and body homeostasis. However, the human body can adapt relatively well to heat and cold environments, and recent studies have also elucidated that particularly heat stress might be even highly beneficial for human health. Consequently, the aim of the present brief review is first to discuss general cardiovascular and other responses to acute heat stress, followed by a review of beneficial effects of Finnish sauna bathing on general and cardiovascular health and mortality as well as dementia and Alzheimer's disease risk. Plausible mechanisms included are improved endothelial and …

Houses that Look to the Mediterranean to Learn How to Inhabit and Teach to Design / Casas que miran el Meditérraneo para aprender a habitar y enseñar…
2018
Il Mediterraneo è osservato da infiniti occhi che ne svelano la bellezza e la restituiscono nelle forme dell’architettura. Questi occhi sono case, alcune sorte quasi spontaneamente, altre di cui è possibile ricostruire la genealogia. Se queste aiutano a comprendere come abitare il Mediterraneo, un’attività didattica recente svolta nelle scuole di Architettura e di Ingegneria di Palermo esplora i modi con cui il Mediterraneo può ancora essere espressione di memoria e di invenzione per la casa contemporanea. The Mediterranean sea is observed by countless eyes that reveal its beauty and give it back in form of architecture. These eyes are houses, some of them were arisen almost spontaneously, …
Taking Human Dignity More Humanely
2016
The chapter argues that Kantian autonomy has sometimes been misunderstood, as if Kant would have viewed any choice as lawful, whatever its content might be. It should be noted that Kant followed earlier thinkers who had already found human rights (or natural rights) in the ‘dignity of human nature’. Thus Kant was not the first thinker to connect human rights with dignity, and the latter with human nature. The link between human rights, human nature and the expression ‘dignity’ appeared in the eighteenth century, but earlier than Kant.
