Autobiographical memory and the self in a single-case of chronic unilateral spatial neglect
2016
International audience; Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is mainly defined as a condition affecting perception and the mental representation of the environment. However, nothing is known about its impact on the ability to mentally represent one's past and on personal identity. We addressed these questions in a case of chronic USN, DR, a 59-year-old right-handed woman, who underwent a variety of measures exploring the self and autobiographical memory (AM). DR showed preserved self-images and her AM performance was only preserved when memories were prompted by her own self-images and not by self-unrelated cues. Our findings are discussed in light of the interconnection between the self and AM.
La dialettica tra giudice costituzionale e legislatore sulla parità di genere
2021
The aim of this paper is to analyse the evolution of gender balance in the Italian Constitutional system with respect to electoral representation (Art. 51th of the Italian Constitution). Effective achieving of electoral representation has been heavily difficult for women in Italy. In 2010 the Constitutional Judge recognized the necessity of gender balance measures. However, the instruments provided by laws had not any real success and women are not effectively represented in political Assemblies.
La Corte definisce un altro tassello per l’effettività del principio delle pari opportunità: la sentenza n. 62 del 2022
2022
In the judgment no. 62 of 2022, the Italian Constitutional Court deals one more time with the principle of equal access in political representation. The decision shows a new approach of the Italian Constitutional Judge in strengthening gender equality, on the basis of Art. 3rd and Art. 51.1st of the Italian Constitution and provides the principle with a new effectiveness.
Cleaning mums and brave policemen: gender representation and gender-inclusive language in EFL teaching materials in Lithuania
2019
Socialinės lyties kalbinės raiškos ir įvaizdžio kūrimo aspektai anglų kalbos (kaip svetimosios ar antrosios) vadovėliuose yra sulaukę nemažai tyrėjų dėmesio, tačiau lyties raiška Lietuvoje leistuose anglų kalbos vadovėliuose iki šiol analizuota sporadiškai (Brusokaitė, Verikaitė-Gaigalienė 2015), o tyrimų, skirtų ne vadovėliams, bet kitoms mokymo priemonėms, iki šiol beveik neatlikta. Šiame straipsnyje kiekybiniu (pasitelkiant tekstynų analizės įrankius) ir kokybiniu (remiantis turinio analize) būdu analizuojamos socialinės lyties vaizdavimo tendencijos keturiose – dviejose pratybų ir dviejose testų – anglų kalbos (kaip svetimosios) mokymo priemonėse, išleistose 2005–2017 m. Lietuvoje. Remi…
“What time is it? It’s gender time!” : gender representation in the animated cartoon Adventure Time
2016
Median vaikutusta sukupuolistereotypioiden muodostajana ja vahvistajana on tutkittu paljon. Lapset viettävät suuren osan lapsuudestaan altistuen eri medioille, joiden vaikutusta heidän sosialisaatioonsa ei pidä aliarvioida. Erityisesti lasten lempihahmot ja niiden käyttäytymismallit heijastuvat heidän kehitykseensä sekä siihen, miten he näkevät itsensä ja muut ympärillään. Fiktiiviset hahmot osaltaan luovat lapsille käsityksen siitä, mikä on hyväksyttävää ja toivottavaa käyttäytymistä. Tämä tutkimus keskittyy selvittämään, millaisia esimerkkejä sukupuolirooleista lapsille suunnattu amerikkalainen piirretty Adventure Time välittää. Tutkimusta varten valittiin viisi jaksoa sarjan viidenneltä …
La costruzione simbolica del conflitto generazionale nei discorsi politici di Renzi e Grillo
2018
L’età dei parlamentari italiani e dei principali leader politici è stata al centro delle ultime campagne elettorali nazionali ed europee. In entrambi gli schieramenti, dalla “rottamazione” di Matteo Renzi agli “zombie in poltrona” di Beppe Grillo, gli slogan incitavano a uno svecchiamento della classe politica italiana. Ma chi è il giovane e chi l’anziano al quale si riferiscono i due leader? Quali sono i ruoli che essi prospettano per giovani e anziani? Quali sono le soglie costruite nei discorsi pubblici e nei post sui siti web ufficiali e sui profili nei social network dei due leader? Quale dialettica si è sviluppata? Quali analogie e differenze rispetto alle rappresentazioni proposte da…
Digital and Interactive Learning and Teaching Methods in Descriptive Geometry
2013
Abstract During the course of “Fundamentals and applications of Science of Representation - Geometric drawing” (held at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Palermo) we successfully tested the adoption of informatics tools to enhance the comprehension and the critical analysis of complex figures in the geometrical space. The peculiarity in the teaching methodology was the adoption of interactive software products (Cabri Geometre and GeoGebra concerning dynamic and geometrical constructions; the well-known Rhinoceros plug-in, Grasshopper, about generating algorithms; Linceo regarding implementing the graphic display of complex solids in augmented reality). According to our experie…
The relevance of psychosocial maps in the study of urban districts
2011
Abstract This pilot study proposes a social map-making method based on the link between the evaluation of the neighbourhoods and the populations residing in them. It was carried on a sample of residents of Dijon’s urban area, a French city (N = 99) divided into four groups, according to the geographical location (in the city / in the suburbs) and the social status (wealthy / disadvantaged) of their living space. The procedure is inspired by social representation gathering methods. Respondents were asked (1) to evaluate their own neighbourhood and others on two scales (social reputation and personal appreciation); (2) to evaluate populations on two similar scales; (3) to determine how these …
Pants complex, TQFT and hyperbolic geometry
2021
We present a coarse perspective on relations of the $SU(2)$-Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT, the Weil-Petersson geometry of the Teichm\"uller space, and volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Using data from the asymptotic expansions of the curve operators in the skein theoretic version of the $SU(2)$-TQFT, as developed by Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum and Vogel, we define the quantum intersection number between pants decompositions of a closed surface. We show that the quantum intersection number admits two sided bounds in terms of the geometric intersection number and we use it to obtain a metric on the pants graph of surfaces. Using work of Brock we show that the pants graph equipped with this …
Directionlets: Anisotropic Multidirectional representation with separable filtering
2006
In spite of the success of the standard wavelet transform (WT) in image processing in recent years, the efficiency of its representation is limited by the spatial isotropy of its basis functions built in the horizontal and vertical directions. One-dimensional (1-D) discontinuities in images (edges and contours) that are very important elements in visual perception, intersect too many wavelet basis functions and lead to a nonsparse representation. To efficiently capture these anisotropic geometrical structures characterized by many more than the horizontal and vertical directions, a more complex multidirectional (M-DIR) and anisotropic transform is required. We present a new lattice-based pe…
