De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe

2021

Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …

A Reconsideration of the Role of Forward-Market Arbitrage in Keynes’s and Hicks’s Theories of the Term Structure of Interest Rates

2014

International audience; This paper develops the relationship between Hicks’s and Keynes’s writings on the theory of the term structure of interest rates, and shows in detail how Hicks built on and extended Keynes’s account. According to this theory, the level of the long-term interest rate is determined by expectations of future short-term rates. Keynes’s thinking contained several notions – such as the preferred habitat of lenders, the theory of forward markets, and risk-premiums – which Hicks used to give a more complete theory of the term structure of interest rates. Besides implementing these notions in his own theory, Hicks introduced the concepts of the preferred habitat of borrowers,…

Declaration and Handling of Conflicts of Interest in Guidelines

2015

Clinical guidelines are developed in order to support physicians and patients in specific clinical situations when decisions concerning diagnosis and treatment are made. Recommendations provided in guidelines are based on the findings of clinical studies and on expert opinion. Identical study findings may be evaluated differently depending on whether or not guideline authors have conflicts of interest (1). A conflict of interest is defined as a circumstance that gives rise to a risk that professional judgement or actions concerning a primary interest may be inappropriately influenced by a secondary interest (2, 3). A conflict of interest is therefore a state of affairs, not a biased evaluat…

Cognitive and behavioral techniques used by olympic and paralympic swimmers to manage sport related thoughts and emotions

2018

The present study investigated the thoughts and emotions of swimmers and what techniques they used to manage them before and during their best and worst performances. Twelve male Brazilian swimmers (5 Olympic and 7 Paralympic) took part of the study. They were 22 to 37 years old (M = 26.16, SD = 4.32). Three athletes (25%) were middle distance swimmers in freestyle, and the other nine (75%) were sprinters in all four swimming styles. An in-depth semi-structured interview was designed to explore the internal processes of participants and the techniques they used to manage them in the competitive events. The interview consisted of three sections: the first section examined the thoughts and em…

From art to geometry: Aesthetic and beauty in the learning process

2015

Starting from the concept that knowledge comes as element of mediation between the convergent thinking, founded on experience, and the divergent thinking, placed in the perceptive, intuitive, creative dimension, in this paper we want to present an idea for developing an educational path combining the concept of “beauty” and some historical notes. It is possible to use this dissertation as a starting point to conceive a geometric laboratory that drawing inspiration from artistic works, get to create geometric shapes provided with fascinating symmetries

2013

Obiettivi. Scopo del presente studio è esplorare il funzionamento psichico dei soggetti con disturbo bipolare I e II attraverso l’analisi e il confronto degli stili di pensiero e dei pattern difensivi. Metodi. Nel corso di un intero anno solare (2009-2010), presso la clinica Psichiatrica del Policlinico Universitario di Palermo sono stati reclutati 29 pazienti con disturbo bipolare I e II. È stato somministrato il seguente protocollo: Wechsler Adult Intelligent Scale-R (WAIS-R) per valutare il funzionamento cognitivo generale; Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI) per misurare i pattern difensivi. Sono stati quindi ana- lizzati e confrontati i risultati ai due reattivi. Risultati. I soggetti c…

Technai e prerogative divine sulla scena del teatro di Eschilo

2019

Lo studio indaga la posizione delle technai nell’opera di Eschilo, con particolare attenzione per il ruolo occupato dalle divinità come originarie, quando non esclusive detentrici e inventrici dei saperi tecnici. Attraverso una dettagliata disamina dell’uso del vocabolario della techne nei diversi drammi eschilei, emerge una doppia accezione del sapere tecnico, sia tradizionale che specificamente prometeico. In tal senso, la vicenda drammatica descritta nel Prometeo incatenato appare particolarmente rilevante per cogliere motivi di continuità e differenze all’interno del sistema di pensiero greco, specificamente eschileo, sulla techne. Chiude la disamina una postilla critica su due passi es…

The link between violence and suicidal behavior among female university students in Spain

2019

Objective: To explore the association between violence and suicidal behavior in female university students. Method: A convenience sample of 540 female students enrolled in the Nursing and Teacher Training Faculties at the University of Valencia was selected. Violence by partners, nonpartners, and both was compared with suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. An adjusted logistic regression and the Wald Test were performed to explore whether the effect on student's suicidal behavior differed if a partner or others committed violence. Results: 18.1% reported suicidal thoughts in the last month and 2.4% had attempted suicide in the past five years. Suicidal behavior was significantly higher in…
