Kindergarten pre-reading skills predict Grade 9 reading comprehension (PISA Reading) but fail to explain gender difference
2020
AbstractOne of the aims for compulsory education is to diminish or alleviate differences in children’s skills existing prior to school entry. However, a growing gender gap in reading development has increasingly been documented. Regrettably, there is scant evidence on whether differences between genders (favouring girls) have their roots in pre-reading skills or whether determining mechanisms are related to factors to do with schooling. We examined the extent to which pre-reading skills assessed in Kindergarten (age 6) predict reading comprehension in Grade 9 (age 15) and, whether the gender difference in reading comprehension can be explained by gender differences in the Kindergarten pre-r…

Acute and reversible Pisa syndrome as unusual presentation of portosystemic encephalopathy
2020
Abstract We present the first case of acute and reversible Pisa Syndrome, as a clinical manifestation of a portosystemic encephalopathy bout occurring in a patient affected with cirrhosis and clinical-radiological signs of acquired hepatocerebral degeneration, without exposure to psychotropic medications. A 62 year-old man suffering from cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital for sudden onset of mild confusion and postural change. He was observed walking and standing with a tilt toward the right during the last two hours. On neurological examination, he showed bilateral asterixis and extrapyramidal signs. Clinical diagnosis of Pisa Syndrome was made in a setting of raised serum ammonia. A b…
LA REAL CASA DEI MATTI DI PALERMO E IL MITO LETTERARIO DEL BARONE PISANI
2020
This story is about a government, which considered the management of madness not a medical issue but a matter of law and order, and a 64 years old official who became the director of a madhouse having no medical nor managing expertise in mental disease, but just humanity and dedication. But most of all its the story of their attempt to project an image of themselves and of what they had done, that turned out in something completely different: a literary myth which went so far to reach the pen of Alexandre Dumas and Edgar Allan Poe.
La Madonna di Trapani di Nino Pisano e i suoi epigoni
2020
La scultura della Madonna di Trapani del Santuario dell’Annunziata, riferita a Nino Pisano, che introduce l’iconografia della Vergine in amorevole colloquio, favorì la produzione di numerose copie del simulacro marmoreo sin dal XV secolo. Tra le tarde riproposizioni viene inserita la statua alabastrina della Madonna con il Bambino del Museo Diocesano di Palermo. The sculpture of the Madonna of Trapani of the Santuario dell'Annunziata, referring to Nino Pisano, who introduces the iconography of the Virgin in loving conversation, favoured the production of numerous copies of the marble simulacrum since the 15th century. The alabastrine statue of the Madonna and Child of the Diocesan Museum of…
Pero Tafur y Bertrandon de la Broquière en Constantinopla : la imagen ceremonial de María de Trebisonda y los encuentros diplomáticos en torno al con…
2018
Tras la caída de Constantinopla (1453), Pero Tafur y Bertrandon de La Broquière difunden sus libros de viajes, dos de los más importantes europeos escritos en el siglo XV. Ambos habían conocido, entre quince y veinte años antes, al emperador de Grecia, Juan VIII Paleólogo, al Papa Eugenio IV y a otros protagonistas de los concilios de Basilea (1431-1434) y Ferrara-Florencia (1438-1439), que decretaron la unión entre las iglesias romana y griega. Los viajeros fueron, así, testigos, pero también informantes y diplomáticos activos para los intentos de unión religiosa y política, que trató de reavivar el Papa Pio II tras la caída de Constantinopla (1453). Tafur y La Broquière conocieron en Cons…
Percorsi architettonici. Un caso di studio alla Cala di Palermo
2022
Il caso di studio è stato presentato nel 2019 alla Biennale di Pisa. Si tratta di una ricerca progettuale che sovrappone lo stato fisico del fare architettura verso ‘territori’ mediati da luce/ombra, interno/esterno e viceversa. Il progetto è un fatto complesso che va affrontato in modo semplice per un tempo che cambia abitudini e stili di vita. Deve saper ascoltare le condizioni fisiche e ambientali di un luogo e interrogarsi costantemente per stabilire un dialogo necessario e ricomprendere la connessione che lega realtà e mimesis. Ed è proprio all’interno di questa sequenza che individuiamo, nel sistema complesso di segni, il nuovo. Questi sono identificabili come ‘limiti’ o ‘risorse’ ent…
ArchéoGEographie du premier Remiremont et de ses abords : le Saint-Mont et le massif du Fossard (Communes de Saint-Etienne-lès-Remiremont, Saint-Amé,…
2018
As part of an approach focusing on the phases of anthropisation of the Vosges mountains, which has already begun on the Alsatian slope and the Haut-Vosges, this project, which combines archaeo-geography and geoarchaeology, aims to measure, over the long time, the dynamics of a medium-altitude forest area, located on the Lorraine slope, a priori impacted by Man. The choice of the Fossard Massif as the object of study, which extends over a hundred km² to the north of Remiremont (Vosges), is the result of its close topographical and historical link with this town, born of an abbey originally founded, in the 7th century, in a late-antique castrum, situated at an altitude of 670 m at the souther…
The relevance of educational poverty in Europe: Determinants and remedies
2021
Abstract This paper explores the degree of educational poverty in European countries using data from OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This research adopts the class of additive multidimensional poverty measures proposed by Alkire & Foster (2011) and investigates the degree of educational poverty in terms of incidence, breadth, depth and severity. Also, we analyse the impact of students’ characteristics and school-level factors on the probability of being educational poor in various learning dimensions. The findings reveal that between 2006 and 2015 the incidence of educational poverty became more relevant in many European countries, while most of them experienced …
