The aim of this article is to show methods for dissection of the neck. In the summer of 2017 a group of students of the University of Palermo that have already passed the exam of Human Anatomy took a 4 weeks dissection course at the University of Malta. The students were provided with a dissection kit, video recording equipment and cameras for taking pictures. They dissected the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, the muscular bundles, the muscles, the vascular and nervous bundles, the nerves, the larynx, the trachea and the esophagus. This paper presents the results of the dissection course and a small and simple guide to young students and medical doctors who want to learn the bases of neck di…

Enhanced TESF methodology for course excellence
2010
The need to achieve the excellence in services provided by a University has been object of study and research for several decades. Often, the focus is not only on the education service, but on several satellite services provided by a university. This article focuses on teaching, considered as a central service, believing (the authors) that the improvement actions of an academic institution should always start from this service. The work proposes the implementation of a tool able to measure student perceptions on certain selected aspects of the course. This tool is part of the Teaching Experiment and Student Feedback (TESF) methodology previously developed by the authors. Here, the steps to …
Statistical properties of a new student satisfaction index
2010
Quality of Higher Education is increasingly important in all developed countries. In fact quality and reputation are key elements to control the flow of students at national and international level. The authors have shown that quality of education can be improved through a process of self-assessment of the teaching services and a well studied analysis of the student feedback. In particular a new student satisfaction index was formulated which allows student feedback being summarised and interpreted for a continuous course improvement. In this paper some statistical properties of the student satisfaction index are illustrated, and comparisons with other measures based on Likert scales are ma…

Violenza di genere e femminicidio nelle narrazioni giudiziarie in Italia. Il punto di vista dei testimoni privilegiati
2020
L’articolo espone i primi risultati di una ricerca sulle rappresentazioni del femminicidio in ambito giudiziario in Italia, illustrandone il quadro teorico, le scelte metodologiche, l’impianto analitico, gli strumenti. Le problematiche connesse all’uso del termine femminicidio sono analizzate ponendo al centro il processo normativo, esplorandone i significati sociali e questionando gli ancoraggi politici e economici attraverso il modello del “campo giuridico”. Partendo dall’analisi di interviste condotte tra testimoni privilegiati, il discorso giuridico sulla violenza di genere è criticamente studiato come “ipotesi di significazione dell’agire sociale”, osservando i modi in cui “il contenut…
Le parole della violenza. Recrudescenze mediterranee di patriarcalismo e sessismo
2016
l capitolo ha lo scopo di descrivere i modi e gli escamotages con cui le parole, nei diversi contesti pubblici e privati in cui definiscono le relazioni, veicolano un portato di violenza simbolica mirante a classificare i generi performandone le rispettive identità. A tale scopo l’autrice fa riferimento al “discorso eufemizzato (Bourdieu 1993) e al concetto di “agentività” (Duranti 2007), per descrivere la procedura di naturalizzazione di pratiche discorsive volta ad affermare il sistema androcentrico della parola. Sullo sfondo i retaggi di una cultura mediterranea ancora patriarcale e sessista, passata in rassegna attraverso l’analisi discorsiva di alcuni racconti di Camilleri e l’individu…
Violence against Women and Femicide: an analysis on the murders of foreign women in Italy
2022
AbstractThis paper presents the results of a research on the representations of femicide in the judicial field, in Italy. The use of the term femicide is analysed through the lens of the normative process, examining its social meanings and questioning its political and economic anchoring using the “juridical field” model (Bourdieu 1986). The essay is based on a wide theoretical framework. It starts by highlighting the problems evoked by the term ‘femicide’ (Corradi, et al. 2016; Radford and Russell 1992); its declension in criminal law and jurisprudence through its coding in specific types of offence (Merli 2015). The topics of power and imbalance between the sexes (Goffman 1977) are analys…
There's A Ghost In Every Mirror: The Identity of the Ghost In Hamlet
2009
Tutkielmassani käsittelen William Shakespearean näytelmän Hamlet keskeisen hahmon, Haamun, identiteettiä katolisessa ja protestanttisessa teologiassa eriävän kiirastuliopin kautta avautuvana ristiriitana. Tulkitsen Haamun hahmoa perinteistä skeptisemmästä näkökulmasta, jonka pohjalta pyrin löytämään tekstistä viitteitä siihen, että Haamun identiteetti ei missään vaiheessa ole suoraan johdettavissa siihen perinteiseen tulkintaan, jonka mukaan se olisi Hamletin isä. Pyrin valottamaan jo 1500-luvun lopulla Englannissa vaikuttaneen protestanttisen maailmankuvan valossa teoksen kuvauksia Haamun alkuperästä sekä analysoimaan, millä tavalla sen kanssa tekemisissä olevat henkilöhahmot siihen reago…
