Self-portrait of an Orator as a Poet : images and Poetic references in Aelius Aristides' work

2022

Aelius Aristides is one of the major representatives of the Second Sophistic : his speeches are exemplary of the development of epidictic rhetoric in the imperial period. Everything in his work, including what he himself says on the subject, gives the image of an orator devoted body and soul to rhetoric and confident in the powers of prose. This is also the portrait that most studies since the 19th century have confirmed.However, poetry plays an important role in Aristide's speeches : they contain many poetic images and references. Moreover, Aristide writes poems and gives us fragments of them. He does not hesitate to refer to his own verses in speeches from both the beginning and the end o…

Statue ritratto "ideali" a Gortina

2018

The paper deals with the category of the “statua - rischen Idealporträts”, treating the few specimens until now recognizable within the large corpus of Roman sculptures collected in the city of Gortyn at Crete. A high-quality example of Hadrianic age was found by Prof. Antonino Di Vita, head of the large scale excavations in the site, during the 1988–1990 field season in the area NW of the “Praetorium”, adjoining the Caput aquae of the Roman aqueduct. Beside this spectacular find, two acephalous torsos of the “Diomedes” type are suitable to have been used for portrait statues, most probably for a couple of emperors. These latter are old surface finds in an area (W of the theatre near the Py…

Una statua togata di retore (?) da Alesa

2017

Il contributo prende in esame una statua togata rinvenuta nel sito di Halaesa prima dell'avvio delle indagini scientifiche e ne effettua una ricontestualizzazione, sulla base dell'analisi dell'iconografia, dello stile e dei dati antiquari, nell'alveo della ritrattistica medioimperiale. Viene vagliata e ammessa la possibilità del collegamento con la dedica di un'effigie onoraria per un retore, rinvenuta nell'agorà di Halaesa. The paper examines a togated statue found on the site of Halaesa before the start of scientific investigations and carries out a re-contextualization, on the basis of the analysis of iconography, style and antiquarian data, in the bed of middle-imperial portraiture. The…

Method Effects and Gender Invariance of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale: A Study on Adolescents

2015

AbstractRosenberg's self-esteem scale has been extensively used in all areas of psychology to assess global self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1965, 1979). Its construct validity, and specifically its factor structure, has almost from the beginning been under debate. More than four decades after its creation the cumulated evidence points that the scale measures a single trait (self-esteem) but confounded by a method factor associated to negatively worded items. The aim of the study is to examine the measurement invariance of the RSES by gender and test potential gender differences at the latent (trait and method) variable level, while controlling for method effects, in a sample of Spanish students. A …

Measuring self-esteem in Spanish adolescents: Equivalence across gender and educational levels

2015

Rosenberg's self-esteem scale (RSES) has been applied in many areas of psychology, highlighting the interest in the study of gender differences and educational level. At the same time, there was a methodological debate on its psychometric properties. Evidence points at a scale measuring a single trait confounded by a method factor associated to negatively worded items. The aim of the study is to examine RSES differences due to gender and educational level at the factor level, while controlling for the presence of method effects, in Spanish students. A completely a priori model was separately tested in four subsamples: college men and women, and high school men and women, and an invariance r…

Moscato Cerletti, a rediscovered aromatic cultivar with oenological potential in warm and dry areas

2021

Baron Antonio Mendola was devoted to the study of grapevine, applying ampelography and dabbling in crosses between cultivars in order to select new ones, of which Moscato Cerletti, obtained in 1869, was the most interesting. Grillo, one of the most important white cultivars in Sicily, was ascertained to be an offspring of Catarratto Comune and Zibibbo, the same parents which Mendola claimed he used to obtain Moscato Cerletti. Thus the hypothesis of synonymy between Moscato Cerletti and Grillo or the same parentage for both sets of parents needs to be verified.In the present study, historical documents were consulted and genetic analyses and ampelographic, agronomic and qualitative character…

Study of a plasma generated in metal surface treatment by laser ablation in air : characterisations of induced radiation and nanoparticules

2015

The interaction of a laser beam of short pulse duration with metallic materials such as aluminum, iron or titanium is characterized by the presence of a high energy and strongly ionized plume (plasma). The aim of this study is to understand the mechanisms involved in plasma, created when laser-target interaction, which lead to the formation of nanoparticles. We would generally consider the dynamic expansion in the air of the plasma plume formed with a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser to specify the conditions of formation of these particles and their morphological and structural characteristics. Thus, this work is divided onto two parts. In the first part, we present the experimental characterizatio…

Rice cooking and sensory quality

2019

International audience; This chapter provides a state-of-the-art review of the diversity and dynamics of consumer demand with respect to the eating quality of rice worldwide. Quality includes both tangible measurable factors (rice characteristics) and the context of consumption. The main sensory attributes evaluated around the world are described, and their relationship with the diversity of consumer demand is discussed. Instrumental methods for predicting quality measured on either raw or cooked grains are reviewed. The changes that occur in the rice grain during cooking are described along with a modeling approach able to predict the changes and their spatial distribution in the rice grai…
