Initial Evaluation of a Smoking Cessation Program Incorporating Physical Activity Promotion to Greek Adults in Antismoking Clinics
2012
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an initial application of a smoking cessation program that integrated the promotion of physical activity (PA) as a cessation aid to Greek adults in antismoking clinics. From an initial pool of 50, 12 men and 28 women from Central Greece completed the program, and 18 of them succeeded in quitting for 1 year after the program. Additionally, after the program, they increased their PA. Suggestions for future applications of the program are further discussed. peerReviewed
Rasgos esquileos en la caracterización de algunos personajes sofocleos
2008
Jose.V.Banuls@uv.es Carmen.Morenilla@uv.es Frente a la ignorancia en sus diversas formas como fuente del error trágico que caracteriza a los héroes de Sófocles, los de Esquilo son conscientes de lo que hacen, pero su grado de consciencia se halla alterado por una fuerza negativa que surge de su propio linaje. Encontramos estos rasgos esquileos, pero positivados, en Antígona. In contrast with ignorance as the source of the tragic error which characterizes the heroes of Sophocles, the heroes of Aeschylus are fully aware of their actions. However, the degree of their awareness is altered by a negative force which emerges from their lineage. These Aeschylean features are positively presented in…
Riscoprire le vecchie scoperte: il sacello presso l’Olympieion di Agrigento
2016
I risultati delle nuove indagini stratigrafiche nel sacello posto a SE del tempio di Zeus Olympios ad Agrigento, condotte da un'equipe dell'Università di Palermo diretta dalla autrici e coinvolgente anche numerosi studenti di Archeologia dell'Ateneo, insieme con lo studio integrato della documentazione d'archivio e dei vecchi scavi, consentono una ricostruzione della storia, della fisionomia e delle pratiche religiose di un edificio rimasto finora di ardua interpretazione, specie in rapporto al monumentale vicino. In particolare, viene confermata la costruzione del sacello verso la metà del VI secolo, ma si definisce una fase di rimodellamento, risalente ai primi decenni del V secolo, finor…
Note sull'embriologia nella tarda antichità e la prima età bizantina
2019
This paper deals with the outcomes of Galenism in Greek Late Antiquity and in the first period of the Byzantine era, considering particularly the rare but significant elements of novelty which are present in the rereading of the ancient tradition by John of Alexandria, in the Alexandrian Summaries of the Galenic Canon, and by Stephanus and Theophilus Protospatharius.
Algebra Without Context Is Empty, Visualizations Without Concepts Are Blind
2018
In the acquisition and formalization of mathematical concepts, the transition between algebraic and geometric representations and the use of different modes of representation contextualizes abstract algebra. Regrettably, the role of geometry is often limited to the visualization of algebraic facts and figurative memory aids. Such visualizations are blind for the underlying concepts, since transitions between concepts in different representations assume the existence of symbols, language, rules and operations in both systems. The history of mathematics offers contexts to develop geometrical language and intuition in areas currently being taught in school in a purely algebraic fashion. The ex…
Studi greci e latini nell?antica Università di Altamura (1748-1821)
2019
The article tries to highlight, despite the scarse of available documentation, the Greek and Latin studies (language and texts) in the ancient Apulian University in Altamura (1748-1821). Furthermore, on the basis of unpublished archival materials (school registers and student workbooks) it is possible to shed light on the ancient authors explained at school, the teaching methods, and the study practices.
Inuentiones y translationes de S. Mercurio
2019
Inuentiones and translationes of the relics are part of the hagiographic dossier of a saint and provide interesting information about his cult over the centuries. For S. Mercurius of Caesarea the original texts in Greek have been lost, but we have two collections miracles in Coptic that narrate the inuentio and translatio of his relics and there is also a medieval tradition about his translatio to Benevento (Italy). From all these texts is deduced a healing cult of S. Mercurius based on the usual topics.
Glosse mediche (embriologiche) nel Lessico di Esichio: una ricognizione
2021
The Lexikon by Hesychius from Alexandreia (V-VI century) is one of the most important lexicographical works in Ancient Greek. It contains an encyclopedic amount of glossematic terms (lexeis) from several kinds of literary sources – epic, lyric and dramatic poetry, rhetoric, historiography, paremiography, neo and veterotestamentary tradition, and so on. Although medical glosses – in particular Hippocratic – are significantly present in the Lexikon, they have not been systematically investigated so far. After presenting a brief story of the more recent studies on the textual tradition and the edition of the Hesychius’ work, this paper aims to offer a thorough investigation of some Hesychian g…
IE *weid- as a Root with Dual Subcategorization Features in the Homeric Poems.
2012
This paper is organized as follows: the first section sketches the theoretical background involved in the case study of Old Greek éidon/óida. As is well known, the aorist éidon takes only an accusative DP-object, while the perfect óida can take either a genitive or an accusative DP-object. Sections 2-5 I aim to prove that the diachronic development of the root *weid- in early Greek must be take into consideration to explain the synchronic phenomenon of dual subcategorization features. This root proves indeed to be polysemous and is split into two different meanings which are lexicalised by means of different bridging contexts and different morphological developments. In section 6 the peculi…
Il nuovo peana misterico-pitagorico da Selinunte
2018
Nuova edizione critica commentata di un carme esametrico conservato su lamina di Selinunte del V sec. a. C., attualmente al Museo Getty (Malibu). Si propone di riconoscere nel testo in questione un peana pitagorico, forma letteraria testimoniata da alcune fonti antiche, ma di cui finora non si aveva documentazione diretta.
