Abjection and alterity in the imagining of transgender in physical education and sport: a pedagogical approach in higher education
2014
In physical education (PE) and sports there is little theoretical and empirical knowledge about transgender people, and particularly, on how they are and can be imagined within this context. In this paper, we present and analyze a pedagogical activity based on the reading and discussion of a fictional representation of a transgender person within a group of undergraduate students of Sport Sciences. Our theoretical frame situates abjection and alterity as opposing concepts on a continuum. Results show several ways in which a transgender person is imagined by students, as well as constraints and possibilities for the pedagogical proposal to promote moral imagining of transgender. Students sit…
High-pass energy-filtered photoemission electron microscopy imaging of dopants in silicon.
2008
Differently doped areas in silicon can show strong electron-optical contrast in dependence on the dopant concentration and surface conditions. Photoemission electron microscopy is a powerful surface-sensitive technique suitable for fast imaging of doping-induced contrast in semiconductors. We report on the observation of Si (100) samples with n- and p-type doped patterns (with the dopant concentration varied from 10(16) to 10(19) cm(-3)) on a p- and n-type substrate (doped to 10(15) cm(-3)), respectively. A high-pass energy filter of the entire image enabled us to obtain spectroscopic information, i.e. quantified photo threshold and related photoyield differences depending on the doping lev…
The “Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology” Journal Club Series: Highlights on Recent Papers in Athletic Training
2018
We are glad to introduce the tenth Journal Club. This edition is focused on several relevant studies published in the last years in the field of athletic training, chosen by our Editorial Board members and their colleagues. We hope to stimulate your curiosity in this field and to share with you the passion for the sport seen also from the scientific point of view. The Editorial Board members wish you an inspiring lecture.
The precious treasure of Mariano Valenza: The history of Ludovico Sicardi and the birth of geochemical volcano monitoring
2020
I was lucky enough to meet Mariano Valenza in September 1995. I was hitchhiking on the highway that leads from Cefalu to Palermo to go back home. I had spent my summer holidays in the beautiful and wild Madonie mountains. An off-road vehicle (a Land Rover Defender) stopped and a refined gentleman with a curious and charismatic gaze offered me a ride. During our journey, we chatted pleasantly and he told he was originally from that area. When I told him, I was a Geology student, he smiled at me and said Then we will meet again soon, I am going to be your Teacher of Geochemistry!. After a few weeks the lessons began and I met again Professor Valenza in Via Archirafi 36, at the University of P…
Del mundo medieval al moderno: cambio devocional y conflicto social. El ejemplo valenciano de las cofradías de Llíria (siglos XV-XVI)
2019
Mediante el análisis del conflicto que se generó entre las cofradías de una pequeña ciudad valenciana del interior, Llíria, a mediados del siglo XVI, se explican sus características y las causas que dieron lugar a su diferente evolución posterior. Analizamos también el complejo contexto socioeconómico y religioso-cultural de transición al mundo moderno en el que se produjeron las importantes transformaciones en los aspectos espirituales y devocionales que afectaron al mundo confraternal, y que en el espacio valenciano dieron lugar a la extensión de las agrupaciones relacionadas con la Pasión y la Sangre de Cristo a lo largo de todo el siglo XVI. Through the conflict of the confraternities i…
Analysis of a full-scale integral test in PERSEO facility by using TRACE code
2017
Over the last decades a lot of experimental researches have been done to increase the reliability of passive decay heat removal systems implementing in-pool immersed heat exchanger. In this framework, a domestic research program on innovative safety systems was carried out leading the design and the development of the PERSEO facility at the SIET laboratories. The configuration of the system consists of an heat exchanger contained in a small pool which is connected both at the bottom and at the top to a large water reservoir pool. Within the frame of a national research program funded by the Italian minister of economic development, the DEIM department of the University of Palermo in coopera…
Perpètua de Cartago i Camar de Tunis. Sobre algunes fonts del Curial accessibles a Itàlia
2016
Resum: Els estudiosos del Curial han relacionat facilment l’enamorament de l’africana Camar amb els amors –tambe africans– d’Enees i Dido. Tanmateix, els ha passat desapercebuda la figura de la martir romana Perpetua de Cartago, jove estudiosa de l’ Eneida, que fou lligada a un pal i exposada als lleons, entre altres aspectes biografics relacionables amb el personatge curialesc de Camar. La revisio de les Actes del martiri (versions A i B, divulgades ensems) i de la novel·lada Passio Perpetuae (segle III) permet detectar coincidencies argumentals i connexions intertextuals amb la novel·la cavalleresca del segle XV. El fet que aquestes fonts foren facilment accessibles a Italia (Mila, Napols…
El bordell dels prohoms. El control municipal de la prostitució al Castelló del segle XV
2005
As in other medieval towns, local authorities of Castelló de la Plana controled legal prostitution. Town council supported public brothel in order to dissuade some passions that, otherwise, could degenerate into adultery and violence, and in the lastanalysis into disorders that threaten marriage as guarantee of material and social reproduction of community and its hierarchies. In this paper we analyze moral and politic arguments, places and protagonists of legal prostitution, and repression of transgressor behaviours.<br><br>Com en altres poblacions medievals, les autoritats municipals de Castelló de la Plana regulaven I'exercici legal de la prostitució. El municipi sostenia el …
Depth Enhancement by Fusion for Passive and Active Sensing
2012
This paper presents a general refinement procedure that enhances any given depth map obtained by passive or active sensing. Given a depth map, either estimated by triangulation methods or directly provided by the sensing system, and its corresponding 2-D image, we correct the depth values by separately treating regions with undesired effects such as empty holes, texture copying or edge blurring due to homogeneous regions, occlusions, and shadowing. In this work, we use recent depth enhancement filters intended for Time-of-Flight cameras, and adapt them to alternative depth sensing modalities, both active using an RGB-D camera and passive using a dense stereo camera. To that end, we propose …
