Seneca on the Mother Cow: Poetic Models and Natural Philosophy in the Consolation to Marcia

2020

Seneca’s Consolation to Marcia embraces the orthodox Stoic view that, when unduly protracted, grief reflects a logical misunderstanding of the natural world, human life, and the limits of the self. Seneca is aware that persuading Marcia to leave her false beliefs is the only way to reawaken her interest in communal life, family reciprocity, and constructive memory. He conceives his consolatory writing as an intellectually engaging didactic work tailored to the needs and disposition of his addressee. The main purpose of the present paper is to show that in this and several other respects the Consolation to Marcia makes a conscious move towards the different but evidently related genre of did…

Segregated ice and liquefaction effects on compaction of fragipans

2004

The brittleness of fragipans is generally ascribed to the close-packing fabric arrangement acquired at the initial step of pedogenesis thanks to physical processes. However, there is an on-going debate over the agent causing soil densification. In this work, we tested the plausibility that ice segregation or liquefaction could have been the cause of the compaction of four fragipans. Two of them are located in nonseismic areas that have experienced periglacial conditions; one is from a strongly seismic area not affected by periglacial conditions, while the fourth site underwent moderate seismic activity and slight periglacial conditions. After disaggregation in the laboratory, soil specimens…

Can the balloon expulsion test be used to exclude the diagnosis of'"dyssynergic defecation"?

2016

BACKGROUND: Fimctional constipation (FC) is a common disorder, particularly frequent m women. The aim of our study was to compare the results of balloon expulsion test with the manometry and defecography findings to exclude dyssynergic defecation (DD) in patients with chronic constipation.

They were divided into three groups: 24 with DD, 54 with descending perineum syndrome (PDS), 49 without DD/PDS. Diagnosis of DD was established by manometnc and defecographic fmdmgs according to Rome EH criteria. RESULTS: The balloon expulsion test was abnormal m 11 out o…

Is participation in the tourism market an opportunity for everyone? Some evidence from Italy

2016

This paper investigates whether there are differences in tourism consumption behaviour among families by analysing the main determinants of tourism participation at national and international levels. In particular, it explores whether tourism is becoming part of the lifestyle of Italians or whether it is still a luxury good only for the privileged. A Heckman model was used on micro-data on Italian family expenditure over the period 1997–2007, and an income elasticity analysis for different personal and household characteristics was carried out. The results show that participation in the tourism market is strongly affected by the personal characteristics of individuals and that tourism cons…

The urban and environmental building code as implementation tool

2014

The frame within which the work is placed refers to the actions necessary to achieve the objectives of the coverage of the consumption of energy from renewable sources compared to the gross final consumption, posed to Regions by 2020, and that can be implemented through various actions involving local gov-ernments including the revision of the Building Regulations municipalities in a sustainable view. Theseactions are increasingly being recognized as energy plan-ning tools for the territories where administrations have committed to the Euro-pean project Covenant of Mayors. The discussion shows how the adoption by the Regions of Guidelines for sustainable Municipal Building Regulations can b…

Riflettere in gruppo come pratica emancipativa

2021

Un percorso di consapevolezza legato ad una pratica auto-osservativa e autoriflessiva all’interno del proprio contesto di lavoro è di grande importanza per la formazione personale e per un apprendimento organizzativo; implica infatti, la comprensione dei processi cognitivi individuali, organizzativi o istituzionali in cui si è immersi e costituisce uno spazio indispensabile perchè avvengano degli “apprendimenti di secondo livello”. Ciò comporta lavorare sul piano dei significati, non solo con quelli espliciti propri e altrui, ma anche con le premesse che danno origine a prassi comuni e condivise . Fondamentale in questo senso è la dimensione di gruppo perché consente di adottare una logica …
