Proportions in Salvatore Caronia Roberti Between Theory and Practice

2022

AbstractIn 1949 Salvatore Caronia Roberti published the volume Introduzione allo studio della composizione architettonica. It is a compendium of his own studies and research came together in his architecture, testifying to the close interweaving of theory and practice. Caronia Roberti was a student of Ernesto Basile, one of the leading exponents of Art Nouveau, a style in which proportions played a marginal place. He later broke away from the Master’s school to attempt a new path in which geometry and proportion constitute the core of his theoretical research. This study aims to highlights the organic nature of Caronia Roberti’s thought, between architectural history and representation, by …

Morir en femenino:la construcción simbólica en las exequias fúnebres de María Josefa Amalia de Sajonia

2021

Este artículo ofrece un análisis de la construcción simbólica de la reina María Josefa Amalia de Sajonia, tercera esposa de Fernando VII, a través de sus exequias fúnebres celebradas en España en 1829. A través de los textos impresos de las Relaciones, Oraciones fúnebres y textos poéticos nos adentramos en el lenguaje hiperbólico que en ellos se ofrecía de la difunta, mientras que las Descripciones de las fiestas y de los cenotafios o túmulos funerarios, así como los grabados que se conservan de estos nos plantean en qué medida el lenguaje artístico contribuyó a fabricar el concepto de la reina doméstica frente a la antigua imagen de la reina cortesana, en la crisis del Antiguo Régimen. En …

Scuole d'autore. Per una storia del "doppio lavoro" in letteratura a partire dagli scrittori-insegnanti del Novecento siciliano

La tesi propone la riflessione sulla centralità delle istituzioni scolastiche nei processi di produzione della letteratura italiana, selezionando i casi di studio di quelle vissute e/o rappresentate dai maggiori narratori siciliani del Novecento, e offrendo un ventaglio di opzioni metodologiche per l’indagine dei vincoli fra gli scrittori e la scuola. L’obiettivo immediato è quello di restituire dignità e visibilità alla didattica d’autore, anche attraverso il recupero delle tracce materiali del lavoro di docenti meridionali illustri, come Brancati, Sciascia, Bufalino e Consolo. Alla luce del protagonismo della professione docente nella storia letteraria italiana, si riflette, pertanto, sul…

Vitamin D and Osteoporosis in HIV/HCV Coinfected Patients: A Literature Review

2015

Vitamin D deficiency further increases the risk of osteoporosis in HIV-positive patients coinfected with hepatitis C virus (HCV); however, it is still unclear whether HCV-related increased fracture risk is a function of the severity of liver disease. The aim of this review was to identify studies on associative vitamin D deficiency patterns in high-risk populations such as HIV/HCV coinfected patients. We did this by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, from inception to August 2014, and included bibliographies. The final 12 articles selected are homogeneous in terms of age but heterogeneous in terms of sample size, participant recruitment, and data source. Most of the HIV/HCV coinfected …

Caractérisation des tôles Fer-Silicium en régime dynamique pulsant

1992

Using a characterization method based on the Epstein's frame principle, we study the evolution of the magnetic and losses characteristics of NO Fe-Si sheets with respect to the fundamental frequency, the temperature and the wave front under time-variable sinusoidal or constant wave front trapezoidal magnetic flux density. At last, we modelise the evolution of the iron losses with respect to these parameters, except the temperature

Diagnostic follow-up of blood donors with indeterminate results to Western Blot for HIV infection in Palermo, Sicily

2002

27,343 blood donors, were tested for HIV infection at the Poli- clinico of Palermo in the period 1999-2001 by using a com- mercial ELISA as screening test and a commercial Western Blot (WB) as confirmatory test. HIV infection was detected in two subjects, whereas five individuals reacted faintly at the screening and tested indeterminate at the confirmatory test showing the presence of only one band for gp41 (four cases) or p24 (one case). A one year follow-up was performed in these patients. All donors but one, spontaneously seroreverted during the follow-up; the only one who persisted as WB inde- terminate, tested also negative for HIV RNA by PCR assay at the end of follow-up. In conclusio…

Female Architecture

2015

The objective of this study is that one, starting from the initial considerations, to give back to the history of architecture, through drawing as a critical means of inquiry, the thought and work of some women-architect who, between 1926 and 1962, have designed and/or built buildings of fine architectural quality. The critical re-drawing, which in this case is mimetic to the construction of the project, wants to make manifest the thought of some figures of the Modern Movement often relegated to an unknown fate; in particular it analyses a part of the activity of Lilly Reich, Helena Niemirowska Syrkus and Charlotte Perriand. The study aims to build a graphic inedited and exhaustive repertor…

A Shock to the System: HIV among Older African Women in Zimbabwe

2018

HIV remains a threat to the ordinary everyday life of older woman in African society. In what can be called “a reality shock,” HIV challenges most of the ordinary everyday endeavors in conservative African societies as it imposes new Western prevention, treatment, and health-management methods over long-held African traditions. The reality of the “Western” HIV epidemic, and its impact on the “African” ordinary everyday life, demands that the infected undergo a paradigm shift in order for them to live harmoniously within their society. This calls for a re-examination of traditional values and a strong sense of responsibility, courage, and determination to remain relevant and not be considere…

Une histoire en révolution ? Du bon usage des archives, de Moscou et d'ailleurs

1996

International audience; L'accès à de nouvelles archives, jusqu'alors interdites, va-t-il révolutionner l'histoire contemporaine, celle du mouvement ouvrier et du communisme en particulier ? Au-delà des effets d'annonce suscités par l'ouverture, partielle, mais bien réelle, des fonds d'archives conservés à Moscou, quels sont les enjeux scientifiques et historiographiques soulevés par l'utilisation d'une masse documentaire considérable ? Des historiens spécialistes de l'histoire du mouvement ouvrier européen font dans cet ouvrage le point sur les recherches anciennes et nouvelles dans ce domaine. Se gardant de tout sensationnalisme, ils présentent au lecteur des pistes de recherches et des ré…

Les sources pour faire l’histoire du syndicalisme, le cas de la CGT : Le fonds rapatrié de Moscou pour l’entre-deux-guerres

2010

International audience; En France, l’histoire du syndicalisme ne tient qu’une place mineure dans la discipline historique. Si plusieurs facteurs peuvent être avancés pour expliquer cet état de fait, la disparition des archives syndicales de l’entre-deux-guerres constituait jusqu’à présent le principal frein au développement des recherches sur la CGT, pour cette période. En effet, c’est seulement depuis une petite dizaine d’années que ces fonds sont réapparus et ont été rapatriés de Moscou où ils séjournaient depuis un demi-siècle. Cet article se propose de retracer le parcours mouvementé de ces documents et d’examiner les pistes de recherche qui s’ouvrent désormais grâce à ce retour inespér…
