Different approaches to research and innovation in physics education at college and university
2019
Abstract In this article we report a Symposium organized by GTG-Physics Education Research at University (PERU) with different proposals that includes innovative educational approaches and research on problems of teaching-learning physics at university. In the second section, two research projects are described on teaching specific curriculum topics that present special difficulties for students. In the next section the third project on a work experience in the laboratory that takes into account the characteristics of scientific work, is presented. Finally, the fourth project presents a way to investigate the types of student reasoning. In the discussion, the importance of research projects…
Caccia alla volpe: nel labirinto della non fiction
2020
Con questo numero inauguriamo una nuova rubrica, Campo aperto, che ospiterà discussioni e polemiche su opere recenti e questioni controverse. Partiamo con un confronto che, incentrato su Max Fox o le relazioni pericolose di Sergio Luzzatto (2019), si dilata in ragionamento sul rapporto tra etica e letteratura e sulle caratteristiche della non fiction contemporanea.
The Rise and Fall of the Aizjomi Landscape†
2012
Jurmalciems, an ancient fishing-farming village on the Baltic Sea coast in southwestern Latvia, provides the setting for this article.

It was one of the initial forces in the spread of the Vesalian reform, but in spite of that it has been almost completely ignored by specialized historical research.' The purpose of this article is to provide a general study of the movement with special emphasis on the conditions which determined its development. In the first place I should make it clear that the renewal in question did not arise from the relationship that Vesalius maintained throughout
Introduction: Historical Background

Treatment of cancer patients with lipid A analogs is now feasible. This is the culmination of a long story, beginning hundreds of years ago, of progress in different scientific fields bacteriology, chemistry, immunology, genetics, cell biology and experimental medicine. Knowing the history of this domain of research is important in understanding why there is increasing acceptance among the scientific community of attempts to treat cancer with lipid A analogs.
