Le consulte collettive nell'architettura siciliana tra tra XVI e XVII secolo
2015
Il contributo esamina alcuni casi di " consulte" di natura costruttiva avvenute nell'architettura siciliana tra XVI e XVII secolo, attraverso la documentazione ad oggi nota. Quello che emerge dal confronto di una serie di documenti è la continuità di certe formule, come nella stima dei costi, mentre le differenze sono evidenti nelle consulenze svolte. Ci sono ad esempio cantieri (come per esempio quello relativo alla chiesa madre di Piazza) dove il processo è frequente mentre ce ne sono altri dove le consulte appaiono discontinue nel tempo (per esempio nella cattedrale di Agrigento). Durante il XVII sussiste anche un divario tra perizie affidate ad architetti e quelle compilate da maestri c…
De capitanías generales y tesorerías militares: el control financiero y sus dilemas en tiempos de Alejandro Farnesio (siglo XVI)
2015
A partir de fuentes inéditas, este artículo analiza qué tipo de medidas administrativas estableció la Corona en la década de 1580 para someter la gestión financiera de la capitanía general del ejército de Flandes a un control más riguroso. también proporciona evidencias documentales de por qué la Corona desistió en su empeño fiscalizador en esta misma década. Con ello, el artículo muestra la disyuntiva de incrementar o rebajar el control que se planteaba en coyunturas clave. Además, pone de manifiesto el apoderamiento que la función fiscalizadora del consumo de fondos militares podía proporcionar en un escenario de guerra; la resistencia que semejante apoderamiento suscitaba entre los agent…
Finnish pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their strategic learning skills and collaboration dispositions
2019
To support the development of pupils’ 21st-century skills, teachers themselves must also be competent in these skills and learn them during pre-service teacher education. The aim of this study is to investigate what kind of profiles emerge among Finnish first-year pre-service teachers’ (N = 872) in terms of perceptions of their strategic learning skills and collaboration dispositions and what background variables explain membership of the profiles found. Latent profile analysis showed five student profiles corresponding to perceived strategic learning skills and collaboration dispositions. The most robust factor explaining the membership of the profiles was life satisfaction. Pre-service te…
Preparing teacher-students for twenty-first-century learning practices (PREP 21) : a framework for enhancing collaborative problem-solving and strate…
2016
With regard to the growing interest in developing teacher education to match the twenty-first-century skills, while many assumptions have been made, there has been less theoretical elaboration and empirical research on this topic. The aim of this article is to present our pedagogical framework for the twenty-first-century learning practices in teacher education. We will first review the current status of policy frameworks for the twenty-first-century learning skills. Based on our previous work and current understanding in the field of learning sciences, we will next elaborate the processes and strategies for collaborative problem-solving skills and strategic learning skills to specify curre…
Amuleti scursuna in corallo
2021
Some amulets in the shape of sea animals/monsters, called scursuna, have received little attention in scientific studies of the coral red works of the Trapani craftsmen of the late 18th and 19th centuries. These are not only fascinating artefacts because of the curiosity that coral and the symbolic universe to which it refers still arouse today, but they also hold an intrinsic interest on two levels: the first, easily intuitable, linked to popular customs and beliefs, and the second as an artistic manifestation to be related to the historicist eclecticism that also affected Sicilian decorative arts during the 19th century.
El papel de los conjuntos conventuales en la renovación ur bana de Palermo en la época de la Contrarreforma
2014
In a city like Palermo, ancient capital of the Reign of Sicily, the effect of new religious complexes born from the catholic politic of the Counter-Reformation, was sudden and explosive, and it caused, between the second half of the16th century and the first of the 17th century, a process of urban renewal never seen before. The essay means to analyze, first of all, the architectural interventions from a quantitative point of view, so to render the real dimension of the phenomenon and of the role it played in the destruction of the medieval city and the creation of the modern one, triggering un uninterrupted state of conflict between the new religious settlements and the owners of the near b…
A classification of European skulls from three time periods.
1987
We analyze the taxonomic structure of European populations at three time periods, the Early Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Recent Period. The data consist of sample means for 10 cranial variables based on 137, 108, and 183 samples for the three periods. Clustering by standard numerical taxonomic procedures reveals that the data are represented only poorly as hierarchic classifications. The clusters form significant and moderately strong associations with an arrangement of the samples by regions (geography) and by language family. Whereas during the early period, language family showed a stronger association with clusters based on cranial morphology, in the recent populations thes…

Critical evaluation skills when using online information are considered important in many research and education frameworks; critical thinking and information literacy are cited as key twenty-first century skills for students. Higher education may play a special role in promoting students' skills in critically evaluating (online) sources. Today, higher education students are more likely to use the Internet instead of offline sources such as textbooks when studying for exams. However, far from being a value-neutral, curated learning environment, the Internet poses various challenges, including a large amount of incomplete, contradictory, erroneous, and biased information. With low barriers t…
La intervención de la Junta de Comercio de Valencia en la política arrocera de la monarquía en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII: los informes emitido…
2005
El análisis de los informes emitidos por la Junta de Comercio de Valencia en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII revela la influencia que tuvo la institución en la conformación de la política arrocera de la monarquía. Al igual que ésta, su posición evolucionó desde la hostilidad hacia el cultivo del arroz en la etapa inicial de su intervención hasta la defensa de sus ventajas en la década de 1790. Los argumentos esgrimidos en ambos sentidos permiten identificar los intereses económicos que condicionaron sus planteamientos. Igualmente, el análisis del marco socioeconómico en el que se insertaba la institución contribuye a explicar las razones de la evolución experimentada. The analysis of the r…
