Etna. Miti e riti della "montagna" sacra

2019

L’Etna con la sua immensa mole fumante, la sua incessante attività vulcanica, il potere distruttivo e generativo delle sue lave, i suoi mutevoli paesaggi, ha costituito nei millenni un riferimento costante dell’immaginario isolano, offrendosi come inesauribile sorgente di affabulazione mitopoietica, teatro epico e lirico di vita e di morte, soggetto e scenario di riti, di miti, di leggende molteplici. Colosso dall’indole incostante e dalla potenza terrifica, vorace distruttore di tuguri e palazzi costruiti della sua stessa pietra, di campi e di piantagioni prima nutriti dalla sua stessa lava, l’Etna contiene e rappresenta, materialmente e simbolicamente, gli opposti: l’alto e il basso, la t…

Etnostoria e pluralismo culturale in Sicilia

2015

In epoca contemporanea, il leitmotiv ricorrente nell'immaginario collettivo è quello della rottura del sistema della trasmissione, talvolta di un mancato incontro intergenerazionale, in un contensto spesso percepito come globalizzato e, al contempo, sgretolato.

Territories of Life in Europe. Towards a Classification of the Rural Commons for Biodiversity Conservation

2022

International awareness has grown about the relevance of considering indigenous and local communities as agent of eco-compatible territorial governance. This is today fully acknowledged in the context of the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) and the CBD (United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity). Notions like “territories of life”, “ICCAs”, “community-based OECMs” (Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures) and voluntarily “conserved areas” have become central in international conservation discourse, but they are not equally considered in the EU environmental and agricultural policy. The Italian case here presented shows that rural commons have surviv…

Separated Children’s Migration in the Mediterranean Sea. An Ethnohistorical Perspective

2016

In the imaginary of Italian people, the Island of Lampedusa (Italy) has always been considered a paradise destination for summer holidays. The beauty of this small island at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, far from big harbors and cities, with its rich biodiversity and unspoilt nature, has made it a national and international tourist attraction. However, in recent years its name become associated with scenes of tragic, desperate journeys made by people of different origins trying to reach Europe from North African coasts. This shift exists not only in Italian people’s perception, but also all over the world, as the news related to Lampedusa and other Italian areas affected by this pheno…

The Neural Bases of Event Monitoring across Domains: a Simultaneous ERP-fMRI Study.

2017

The ability to check and evaluate the environment over time with the aim to detect the occurrence of target stimuli is supported by sustained/tonic as well as transient/phasic control processes, which overall might be referred to as event monitoring. The neural underpinning of sustained attentional control processes involves a fronto-parietal network. However, it has not been well-defined yet whether this cortical circuit acts irrespective of the specific material to be monitored and whether this mediates sustained as well as transient monitoring processes. In the current study, the functional activity of brain during an event monitoring task was investigated and compared between two cognit…

“ἔργον τόδ᾽ ἐϋγραφὲς Ζανὶ ἀνέθεντο” (Anth. Pal. VI 221). Continuità morfologiche e funzionali negli ex voto figurativi

2022

Gli ex voto dipinti sono un oggetto di culto dalla lunga storia. Esempi di questo tipo di ex-voto, largamente utilizzati fino alla fine dell'Ottocento nell'Italia meridionale e in altre regioni dell'Europa meridionale, sono infatti già attestati nel mondo classico (pinakes, tabellea pictae). Nel passaggio tra il mondo "pagano" e il mondo "cristiano", nel mutare dei referenti divini e delle teologie, si osserva una continuità dei simboli rituali e delle pratiche votive e, più in generale, una significativa persistenza di forme, funzioni e significati in campo religioso. The painted ex-votos are a cult object with a long history. Examples of this type of ex-voto, widely used up to the end of …

«Portavano pitture della disgrazia sofferta». Divagazione sulle continuità e sulle trasformazioni degli exvoto figurativi

2021

Gli ex voto dipinti costituiscono un oggetto cultuale dalla lunga storia. Esempi di questa tipologia di ex voto, ampiamente in uso fino a tutto il xix secolo, e oggi in minor misura, nel Meridione d’Italia e in altre regioni del Sud Europa, sono infatti già attestati nel mondo classico (pinakes, tabellea pictae). Nel passaggio tra mondo «pagano» e mondo «cristiano», nel mutare dei referenti divini e delle teologie, si osserva una continuità dei simboli rituali e delle pratiche votive e, più in generale, una significativa persistenza delle forme, delle funzioni e dei significati cultuali delle immagini in ambito religioso.

On thermoeconomics of energy systems at variable load conditions: integrated optimization of plant design and operation

2007

Abstract Thermoeconomics has been assuming a growing role among the disciplines oriented to the analysis of energy systems, its different methodologies allowing solution of problems in the fields of cost accounting, plant design optimisation and diagnostic of malfunctions. However, the thermoeconomic methodologies as such are particularly appropriate to analyse large industrial systems at steady or quasi-steady operation, but they can be hardly applied to small to medium scale units operating in unsteady conditions to cover a variable energy demand. In this paper, the fundamentals of thermoeconomics for systems operated at variable load are discussed, examining the cost formation process an…

However the thermoeconomic methodologies as such are particularly appropriate to analyse large industrial systems at steady or quasisteady operation but they can be hardly applied to small to medium scale units operating in unsteady conditions to cover a variable energy demand. In this paper the fundamentals of thermoeconomics for systems operated at variable load are discussed examining the cost formation process and separately the cost fractions related to capital depreciation (which require additional distinctions with respect to plants in steady operation) and to exergy consumption. The relevant effects of the efficiency penalty due to off design operation on the exergetic cost of internal flows are also examined. An original algorithm is proposed for the integrated optimization of plant design and operation based on an analytical solution by the Lagrange multipliers method and on a multi-objective decision function expressed either in terms of net cash flow or primary energy saving. The method is suitable for application in complex energy systems such as ‘‘facilities of components of a same product’’ connected to external networks for power or heat distribution. For demonstrative purposes the proposed thermoeconomically aided optimization is performed for a grid connected trigeneration system to be installed in a large hotel.Energy Engineering and Power TechnologyCost accountingThermoeconomicsGridEnergy conservationVariable (computer science)symbols.namesakeFuel TechnologyNuclear Energy and EngineeringLagrange multipliersymbolsProcess engineeringbusinessSimulation
