Balance control in aging: improvements in anticipatory postural adjustments and updating of internal models
2015
International audience; Postural stability of older subjects can be estimated during orthostatic equilibrium. However, dynamic equilibrium is also important to investigate risks of fall. It implies different interpretations of measures given by force plates. Same dependant variables (e.g. center of pressure displacement) cannot be interpreted the same ways depending of the type of equilibrium that is investigated. In particular, sways increases during dynamic equilibrium and before movement execution may reflect an improvement of feedforward control.
Italian Amateur Pop-Rock Musicians on Facebook: Mixed Methods and New Findings in Music Making Research
2017
This chapter investigates how and why amateur musicians use social networking sites, employing a mixed-methods approach. Attention is focused on four big Italian Facebook communities of pop-rock musicians: drums, bass, guitar, and keyboard players (overall, 2,101 active users), analyzing the relational and textual data extracted from the web. The chapter analyzes the network structures emerging from the interactions among the users. It also identifies and maps the main areas of discussion (sound shaping, studio recording, marketplace, musical references, computer production, and relations) and the latent semantic dimension characterizing Facebook users’ activities, through social network an…
Psicodinamiche di convivenza nel gruppo di lavoro: un'indagine esplorativa
2009
Psicodinamiche di convivenza nel gruppo di lavoro: un'indagine esplorativa - This work is focused on the study of psychodynamics of cohabitation in work groups, organizations and institutions. The generic aim is to explore the relations between organizational feelings and work group efficacy. The research has been carried out with a group of 120 Sicilian workers. In the present study we considered organizational commitment, justice, trust and power feeling. The multiple correspondence analysis point out two dimensions called: Collusion/Collusion Failed and Adhesive Professional Identity/Repulsive Professional Identity. The results point out relations between middle scores of organizational …
Exploring automatic grouping procedures in ceramic petrology
2004
Although a small number of studies have attempted to introduce automatic grouping procedures into thin section petrography of archaeological ceramics, the majority of studies continue to be carried out by non-automatic means. Although such an approach with the single observer grouping samples has a number of advantages, it is problematic when dealing with large numbers of samples. This paper aims to explore different coding systems and statistical analyses for grouping ceramic thin sections. In the example discussed a number of variables are defined, codified and analysed by correspondence analysis, classical multidimensional scaling, non-metric isotonic multidimensional scaling and Sammon …
A 350,000-year climatic record from the loess sequence of Achenheim, Alsace, France
2008
Up to now the best Quaternary climatic sequences come from oceanic isotope studies, but terrestrial sequences are also well known, usually for pollen or ice core data. A new sequence providing climatic information for the last 500,000 years has been studied in the loess series of Achenheim (Alsace), using the mollusc record in relation to other stratigraphical data. Mollusc assemblages are analysed using a multivariate method. The correspondence analysis used here allows us to explain, in ecological terms, the general variability of the Achenheim set. Most Pleistocene mollusc species have the advantage that modem individuals live in the same assemhlages. So, the known ecology and distributi…
Look for methods, not conclusions
2019
Qualunque sia l'esito effettivo di un'indagine su un caso di presunta manipolazione dei dati, ci sono alcuni principi fermi che sono sempre veri e alcuni errori che devono essere evitati.
Tra «pentoloni per il solfato ammonico» e «un numero inverosimile di tubi»: le lettere di Carlo Emilio Gadda all’Ammonia Casale
2022
The essay analyzes the correspondence between Carlo Emilio Gadda and the "Ammonia Casale S.A." which intermittently covers a period from April 1927 to January 1940, with a long break between the autumn of 1931 and the spring of 1936. It is a decisive period of time on the public and private level. Reading the correspondence allows you to retrace an entire page of the history of Italian industry under fascism from an eccentric perspective.
CARTEGGIO CROCE-RICCI
2009
L'edizione comprende il carteggio intercorso tra Benedetto Croce e Corrado Ricci dal 1890 al 1925 (con un'ultima lettera isolata del 1928), qui trascritto e presentato per la prima volta. Tutte le lettere sono corredate di note esplicative e critiche. Un voluminoso saggio introduttivo ricostruisce il contesto storico del carteggio e ne approfondisce tutti i principali punti di interesse: il confronto tra l'approccio critico positivista e quello idealista in genesi: il rapporto tra le istituzioni e gli intellettuali militanti nell'Italia giolittiana; l'impegno per la tutela e la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale e artistico; il legame con l'orizzonte europeo e il modo diverso di coltiv…
Lev Tolstoy's Appreciation of Charles Dickens?
2022
In Lev Tolstoy’s letters, memoirs and even literary works, mentions of Charles Dickens, his works and his influence on the Russian writer are found often enough to deserve a closer look. Of the Victorian writers Tolstoy read, Dickens was the most eminent, and his appreciation of the English author was permanent and unchangeable. Even in the period of his spiritual crisis, when he rejected most of his own works, some inspired by Dickens, he did not change his positive attitude towards his favourite English writer. Tolstoy read many of Dickens’s works, both in English and in Russian. He even managed to publish in his publishing house “Intermediary” Dickens’s Little Dorrit, Great Expectations,…
Fusion of experimental data
1997
Abstract The integration of information from various sensory systems is one of the most difficult challenges in understanding both perception and cognition. For example, the problem of auditory-visual integration is a correspondence problem between perceived auditory and visual scenes. Two main questions arise when designing data analysis systems: what is the useful information to be integrated?, and what are the integration rules? The problem of integrating information becomes relevant whenever: (a) the same kind of data are detected by spatially distributed sensors; (b) heterogeneous data are detected by different sensors; (c) heterogeneous distributed data are involved. General problems …
