Tillage intensity and pasture in rotation effectively shape soil microbial communities at a landscape scale
2018
International audience; Soil microorganisms are essential to agroecosystem functioning and services. Yet, we still lack information on which farming practices can effectively shape the soil microbial communities. The aim of this study was to identify the farming practices, which are most effective at positively or negatively modifying bacterial and fungal diversity while considering the soil environmental variation at a landscape scale. A long-term research study catchment (12 km2 ) representative of intensive mixed farming (livestock and crop) in Western Europe was investigated using a regular grid for soil sampling (n = 186). Farming systems on this landscape scale were described in terms…
Eleonora Duse's Library: The Disclosure of Aesthetic Value in Real Acting
2010
Even though Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) referred to her books as her own artistic wardrobe, her most highly valued possessions, scholars and biographers have insisted on neglecting her library and furthermore, have for many years considered it lost forever. This article explains the value of the founding and reconstructing of the Murray Edwards Eleonora Duse Collection in Cambridge. She specifically refers to a selection of books which have been renamed 'Cleopatra's Books'. They are remarkable examples which are representative of Duse's library as a whole and lay bare the roots of Duse's intellectual evolution. Many have believed the romantic notion that Duse acted out her own personal life o…
Eleonora Duse as Juliet and Cleopatra
2017
From her debut as Juliet in 1872 onwards, the career of Eleonora Duse (1858–1924) is marked by an evolving, changeable approach to her Shakespearean roles. In different ways and under diverse circumstances, each of her Shakespearean parts represented something of a turning-point in her cursus. Scholars have argued that life and art, emotional instinct and theatrical performance, coalesced seamlessly throughout her Shakespearean repertoire, and in particular in her interpretation of Cleopatra (Puppa 2009). Yet while this theory that she acted out her own personal life, and that her characters’ feelings coincided with her own, is an attractive one, it is also reductive. New evidence——the disc…
The Murray Edwards Duse Collection
2012
The volume is the result of the discovery of Eleonora Duse’s books in Cambridge by Anna Sica (now De Domenico Sica). It is written in English and includes a contribution by Alison Wilson. It illustrates and explains why the Duse Collection in Cambridge, which is housed at Murray Edwards College, is a remarkable resource that enables us to understand the erudition that Duse displayed throughout her acting career, and her artistic and intellectual profile which inspired some of the major poets (f. i. d’Annunzio, Rilke, Claudel) and poetesses of her time. The volume gathers Sica’s complex and long investigation to identify all Duse’s books housed at Murray Edwards College, and from it further …
Key advantages of the leverage points perspective to shape human-nature relations
2021
This perspective paper synthesises the special issue 'Human-nature connectedness as a leverage point for sustainability transformation'. Based on the articles in this special issue, we aim to foster the operationalisation of the leverage points perspective to shape human-nature relations to enable sustainability transformations. Specifically, we draw on four key advantages of the leverage points perspective: (i) the explicit recognition of deep leverage points; (ii) the ability to examine the interactions between shallow and deep system changes; (iii) the combination of causal and teleological modes of research; and (iv) the ability to function as a methodological boundary object. The contr…
The Eleonora Duse Collection in Cambridge
2008
Il saggio esplora la seducente icona di Eleonora Duse, e mette in luce come il segreto della recitazione dell'attrice, nota per la sua genialità sfrenata, libera da ogni inibizione e unica nel suo modo di cancellare i confini tra finzione e realtà, risieda nella sua impareggiabile destrezza di adoperare mimica e declamazione. Il confronto tra i copioni, i carteggi e i marginalia, che Anna Sica ha ritrovato entro il corpus dei suoi libri a Cambridge, fa emergere la natura dotta della sua recitazione, alimentata incessantemente dalla sua smania di cultura e di tecniche declamatorie. Inoltre lo studio della recitazione dusiana fa emergere visibilmente come l'uso della sintassi declamatoria abb…
Krūts vēža pacientu preoperatīva limfātisko mezglu izvērtēšana ar radioloģiskajām izmeklēšanas metodēm
2022
Problēmas būtība: Krūts audzējs ir viens no biežākajiem ļaundabīgajiem audzējiem sievietēm, incidence pēdējo gadu laikā pieaugusi par 0,5 % (pēc PVO statistikas datiem). Preoperatīva paduses limfmezglu statusa noteikšana ir svarīgs faktors audzēja prognozē un labākās iespējamās terapijas izvēlē. Visprecīzākā invazīvā metode paduses limfmezglu stāvokļa noteikšanai ir sargmezgla biopsija, savukārt neinvazīvās metodes ietver ultrasonogrāfiju, datortomogrāfiju, pozitronu emisijas tomogrāfiju, mamogrāfiju, magnētisko rezonansi u.c. Primārā izmeklēšanas metode ir ultrasonogrāfija, bet vēl nav neviena pilnīgi precīza metode, kas ļautu identificēt vai izslēgt limfmezglu metastāzes. Pētījuma mērķis:…
Edusemiotics of meaningful learning experience: Revisiting Kant’s pedagogical paradox and Greimas’ semiotic square
2016
AbstractIn this article we examine the educational process and learning from the edusemiotic point of view in terms of meaningful experience and meaningful action. A conception of meaningful experience is central in many branches of educational thinking, from pragmatism to existentialism. We analyze this conception from two traditional and somewhat remote perspectives, utilizing some themes of Kant’s educational philosophy on the one hand and Greimas’ semiotics on the other. Kant’s views of human formative powers – Bildung – will be described as a basic philosophy of learning experience. Kant’s theory is then critiqued from the perspective of existentialist educational philosophy. Concepts …
Usability of Programming Languages
2016
Programming languages form the interface between programmers (the users) and the computation that they desire the computer to execute. Although studies exist for some aspects of programming language design (such as conditionals), other aspects have received little or no human factors evaluations. Designers thus have little they can rely on if they want to make new languages highly usable, and users cannot easily chose a language based on usability criteria. This SIG will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in increasing the depth and breadth of studies on the usability of programming languages, and ultimately in improving the usability of future languages. nonPeerReviewed
An Evidence of Modernity: Eleonora Duse's Library
2010
Even though Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) referred to her books as her own artistic wardrobe, her most highly-valued possessions, scholars and biographers have insisted on neglecting her library and, what’s more, it had for years been considered lost forever.

She specifically refers to a selection of books which have been renamed ‘Cleopatra’s Books’. They are remarkable examples which are representative of Duse’s library as a whole and lay bare the roots of Duse’s intellectual evolution.
