L'educazione tra generi e generazioni
2020
Il contributo analizza il legame in educazione tra identità di genere e generazioni, intendendo con quest'ultimo termine sia l'aspetto generazionale sia quello generativo che troviamo all'interno di ogni storia familiare. La riflessione avviata approda all'idea di un'educazione che dovrebbe rendere consapevoli della reciprocità tra maschile e femminile come fondamento della comprensione della propria storia familiare e della costruzione del proprio sé. In quest'ultimo punto, il tema del genere si intreccia fortemente con quello delle generazioni, e quindi con la propria storia familiare, in cui il maschile e il femminile avranno assunto significati specifici, non sempre segnati dalla recipr…
Human-centred Assembly: A Case Study for an Anthropocentric Cyber-physical System
2014
Abstract To engineer the factory of the future the paper argues for an anthropocentric cyber-physical reference model that assimilate in an integrated, dynamic, structural and functional way all the required components (i.e. physical, computational and human) of a synthetic hybrid system. This is due to the real need to design large-scale complex systems that accommodate the latest achievements in factory automation where the human is not merely playing a simple and clear role inside the control-loop, but is becoming a composite factor in a highly automated system (“man-in-the-mesh”). The concept is demonstrated by instantiating our anthropocentric cyber-physical reference model in a concre…
Influence of the channel design on the heat and mass exchange of induction channel furnace
2011
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present in‐depth numerical modelling of heat and mass exchange in industrial induction channel furnace (ICF).Design/methodology/approachThe turbulent heat and mass exchange in the melt is calculated using a three‐dimensional (3D) electromagnetic model and a 3D transient large eddy simulation method. The simulation model has been verified by flow velocity and temperature measurements, which were carried out using an industrial sized channel inductor operating with Wood's metal as a low temperature model melt.FindingsThe ICF is well‐established for melting, holding and casting in the metallurgical industry. But there are still open questions regarding th…
Numerical studies of the melting process in the induction furnace with cold crucible
2008
PurposeAims to present recent activities in numerical modeling of cold crucible melting process.Design/methodology/approach3D numerical analysis was used for electromagnetic problem and 3D large eddy simulation (LES) method was applied for fluid flow modeling.FindingsThe comparative modeling shows, that higher H/D ratio of the melt is more efficient when total power consumption is considered, but this advantage is held back by higher heat losses through the crucible walls. Also, calculations reveal that lower frequencies, which are energetically less effective, provide better mixing of the melt.Originality/value3D electromagnetic model, which allows to take into account non‐symmetrical dist…
Legislative drafting and gender: some linguistic insights into English and Italian
2022
Languages vary widely in terms of gender systems showing differences in the number of classes, underlying assignment rules and how and where gender is marked. The legislative drafting policy conventionally known as the ‘masculine rule’, whereby ‘he includes she’, raised opposition in the 1970s (under the pressure of feminist movements in the United States and Europe), and the adoption of plain English style forced legislative drafters to basically avoid sentences of undue length, superfluous definitions, repeated words and gender specificity with the aim of achieving clarity, minimising ambiguity, and enhance gender-neutrality. Given the prevalence of English as lingua franca, an increasing…
In a World Where You can be Anyone: An Investigation into the Gendered Social Practices of Pakistani Facebook Users
2021
AbstractThis article investigates the construction of gender identities of Pakistani men and women Facebook users given that Facebook has emerged as the prime social media platform through which Pakistani users interact. By employing thematic analysis and taking insights from theory of performativity and intersectionality, the findings of the interview data suggest that the formation, negotiation, and expression of gender identities on Facebook occurs through complex interplay between the discourses of religion, class, culture, and tradition. In some cases, Facebook highlighted the reproduction of the prevalent cultural models of masculinity and femininity while in other cases; there was re…

El hombre unidimensional fragmentado
2013
Parafraseamos el título del conocido ensayo de Herbert Marcuse, puesto que la imagen que tradicionalmente se ha generado del hombre, de la masculinidad, ha sido unidimensional. Es decir, el hombre se caracterizaba por unos rasgos y conductas establecidos y afianzados desde tiempos remotos, considerándose todas las demás señas diferenciadoras como meras desviaciones impropias de lo normativo. Pero observaremos que esta realidad incuestionable, tal y como han analizado diversos investigadores a través de lo que se ha venido en denominar Men’s studies, ha demostrado ser una falacia difícil de mantener a lo largo de la historia y que en la actualidad deviene en falaz e inoperante frente a los c…
Masculinidad(es), diversidad(es) y género en la literatura infantil: un caso práctico
2022
Las masculinidades no hegemónicas ocupan cada vez más los espacios de reflexión, de diálogo, de información, de producción de conocimiento y, en definitiva, de la vida en nuestras sociedades. Se trata de un proceso necesario y que quizá llega con retraso, pero esta generalización de la necesidad de articular formas de vivir la masculinidad alejadas de esquemas cerrados y tóxicos es sin duda un soplo de esperanza para el conjunto de la sociedad, y también para todas aquellas personas que trabajan en favor de la igualdad desde todos los ámbitos del conocimiento y de la acción social (De Stefano, 2020). Planteamos en este trabajo la necesidad de llevar a las aulas esta sensibilidad, de maner…
Specificità femminili e maschili. Opinioni e aspettative di insegnanti di scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado
2017
Le recenti ricerche psicologiche, pedagogiche e didattiche hanno accertato che gli alunni e le alunne apprendono e si comportano a scuola in modo diverso e che la probabilità di successo nello studio aumenta, per entrambi i sessi, quando gli insegnanti, nella loro attività didattica, tengono presenti le peculiarità maschili e femminili. È avvertita pertanto l’esigenza di studiare e diffondere le migliori esperienze didattiche sul modo pedagogicamente più valido di insegnare alle donne e agli uomini. In questa ricerca abbiamo voluto conoscere le opinioni di 232 docenti dell’ultimo anno di scuola secondaria di primo grado e dei primi due anni di scuola secondaria di secondo grado di tutte le …
