Manner of motion verbs in Latin
2011
In this talk I present the theoretical premises, methodology, corpus, and preliminary results of an ongoing research carried on with Egle Mocciaro (University of Palermo) and Claudio Iacobini (University of Salerno) on the encoding of motion expression in Latin. Some data concerning manner of motion expression in Classical Latin are presented and commented. o Main aim: • to make a first approach towards the manner-of-motion encoding strategies in Latin o Outline: 1. Overview of the main proposals about the typology of motion event encoding • Talmy’s classification of motion event lexicalization patterns • Definitions of the manner component in motion encoding • Connection between manner sal…
Detect VS Reveal. The survey as an investigative tool in the didactic experience of the architectural project
2020
The aim of the contribution is to reflect retrospective on the experience developed within the Laboratory of Architectural Design I of the Bachelor of Architecture Design course at the School (AUIC) of the Politecnico di Milano (Campus Piacenza). The teaching structure includes, in addition to the module of Architectural and Urban Composition (8CFU) and Architectural Design (4 CFU) a further module of integrative teaching of Representation Techniques (4 CFU) of ICAR/06. The aim of the latter is to provide students with the theoretical and operational information necessary for the survey and graphic representation of the architectural work and its reference context. The Representation module…
Supply and uses of wood in Auvergne, from the Iron Age in the Middle Ages
2018
Waterlogged woods are rare discoveries in archeology because of the conditions inherent in their conservation. When they reach us, they give a lot of data on the importance of this material for past populations.Auvergne is a privileged context for their conservation. Thousands of woods from fortuitous discoveries or archaeological excavations are dated from the Neolithic to the modern era, however the corpus covers mostly the Second Iron Age until the Middle Ages.The diversity of the woods enables a better understanding of different uses according to their respective destination.The state of conservation of many elements gives information about the different stages of shaping, from the fell…
“When You Thought That There Is No One and Nothing”: The Value of Psychodrama in Working With Abused Women
2018
This paper discusses how psychodrama methods and techniques can empower abused women and stimulate changes in their victim role. Through an in-depth exploration, we sought to gain an insider’s perspective of the experiences of change and perceived outcomes for abused women, which could contribute to optimizing gender violence intervention. Theoretically, the study is grounded in the female co-responsibility and trans-generational transmission of women’s victim role from mother to daughter. A mixed methods experimental design employing an explanatory sequential approach to data collection was implemented. A total sample of 33 abused women (15 in the experimental group, and 18 in the control …
States of mourning: A quantitative analysis of national mournings across European countries
2018
Despite their growing incidence over the last decades, national days of mourning received curiously sparse attention throughout social sciences and death studies. This study investigates the 327 national mournings observed across European countries between 1989 and 2017 in terms of their national variance, temporal dynamics, typology of events that led to their declaration, and victimology. Drawing on a Durkheimian-inspired conceptualization of national mournings as political rites of solidarity and reconciliation, this article finds empirical support for the thesis that the frequency with which European countries declare national mourning is a negative function of a society's level of soci…
Male perpetrators of intimate partner violence against women: A Spanish typology
2020
Typological approaches in research of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) have been discussed on the basis of their validity and applicability in professional practice; yet most of the published studies on offender typologies are limited due to the use of relatively small, non-representative samples. The current study explored typologies of IPVAW perpetrators in a large-scale representative Spanish sample ( n = 9,731 cases extracted from the Comprehensive Monitoring System of Gender-Based Violence Cases; VioGén System), according to classic batterer typologies proposed by Holtzworth-Munroe and Stuart (1994) . To this end, the risk factors measured by the most extended Spanish p…
Predictors of early dropout in treatment for gambling disorder: The role of personality disorders and clinical syndromes
2017
Several treatment options for gambling disorder (GD) have been tested in recent years; however dropout levels still remain high. This study aims to evaluate whether the presence of psychiatric comorbidities predicts treatment outcome according to Millon's evolutionary theory, following a six-month therapy for GD. The role of severity, duration of the disorder, typology of gambling (mainly online or offline) and pharmacological treatment were also analysed. The recruitment included 194 pathological gamblers (PGs) to be compared with 78 healthy controls (HCs). Psychological assessment included the South Oaks Gambling Screen and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III. The "treatment fail…
Structural Uses of Stone and Timber in The European Historical Construction
2018
This paper investigates the stone masonry with timber reinforcement through Europe. It is a remarkable practice, either historical and contemporary, consisting of combining different materials to build up a masonry. This technology shows a wide variety of typological, formal, and technological types of buildings across Europe as it is strongly influenced by the nature and availability of local materials, the cultural aspects of the various communities, and the soils geological nature. As a consequence, the same constructive typology is based on different premises and leads to many interesting results. In this paper the various uses of such a mixed stone-timber masonry are shown in relation …
How relevant are local climate zones and urban climate zones for urban climate research? Dijon (France) as a case study.
2018
17 pages; International audience; Several typologies of urban surface properties have been proposed, in recent years, for urban heat island studies and climate modeling. Some were specifically developed for cities and urban climate issues, like the Urban Climate Zones, and the more recent Local Climate Zones. The initial objective of this paper is to evaluate the capacity of these two typologies to identify thermal environments in and around cities, and to determine which typology best captures the daily spatio-temporal patterns of surface and urban canopy heat islands. To simulate urban climate with a model, LULC data based on a given typology are required. To avoid circularity, we combine…
Communicator styles of hospital patients during nurse-patient counseling.
2002
Abstract This article describes nurse–patient communication during counseling sessions. It focuses on the patient as a participant in a discussion and aims at a description of patients’ communicator styles, which were observed on videotape based on 38 counseling sessions transcribed word by word. Interviews of the participating nurses and patients were used for partial support of the interpretations. The analytic method chosen was typology, and it has been used for achieving a multifaceted qualitative description of patient communication. The research material yielded seven types of communicator styles: Quietly Assenting, Emotionally Expressive, Storyteller, Stoic Observer, Inquisitive of D…
