Influence of artificial aging and ZrO2 nanoparticle-reinforced repair resin on the denture repair strength
2019
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aging process on the tensile strength (TS) of repaired acrylic denture base using ZrO2 nanoparticles (nano-ZrO2)-reinforced autopolymerized resin. Material and Methods A total of 240 heat-polymerized acrylic resin specimens (n=10) were prepared and sectioned creating 2 mm-repair-gap. Autopolymerized acrylic resin, pure and modified with 2.5, 5, and 7.5wt% nano-ZrO2 were used for specimens repair. TS of repaired specimens were measured using the universal testing machine after water immersion at 37oC for 2, 7 and 30 days. At each time interval, half the immersed specimens underwent thermo-cycling aging process (5000 cycles at…

Universalità e analogia: metafisica e logica nel pensiero islamico
2012
Il discorso su universalità e analogia rispetto alla ragione, nell’orizzonte storico del pensiero islamico medievale, ha guadagnato l’esplicitazione dell’analogia ipotetica come analogia fondamentale ed è orientato verso la discussione sul rapporto analogico tra analogia logica ed analogia metafisica: è mediante l’analogia che la ragione estende l’universalità del suo dominio dall’esistente al principio sia dell’essere sia del conoscere, ma il passaggio dall’analogia logica all’analogia metafisica dell’esistente richiede la costruzione di una teoria generale dell’universalità, che renda possibile il discorso sull’analogia tra esistente e principio. L’esplicitazione dell’analogia ipotetica c…
Feminist Perspectives on Teaching Masculinities
2019
The chapter discusses the positive public role of gay and queer masculinities in their intersection with other identity configurations (class, race, and able-bodiedness). It presents an overview of the main perspectives on social construction and representation of homosexual masculinities within educational and academic settings using critical masculinities theory. While challenging homonormativity in research and education representations of the ‘rational man’ and ‘macho ethics’ of male researchers who ‘discover’, ‘conquer’ investigate ‘systematically’ or ‘rigorously’ are analyzed. Criticizing the play of inexpressiveness and emotionlessness objectivity as criterion of academic writing, re…
Lingue, invarianti e altri strani oggetti
2011
The paper aims to analyze the concept of linguistic invariant introduced by several research programs in linguistics: from the typological linguistics to the theory of enunciative and predicative operations until some branches of the so-called Minimalist program. As we will shows, it is necessary to distinguish between «universals of language» and «linguistic invariant».
Sempre uguale sempre diverso. Riflessioni sulla nozione di invariante linguistico
2008
The paper aims to analyze the concept of linguistic invariant. It is a theoretical tool that plays a pivotal role in several research programs: from the typological linguistics to the theory of enunciative and predicative operations, until some branches of the so-called Minimalist program. As we will show, it is necessary to distinguish between «universal of language» and «linguistic invariant».
Values, ideological attitudes and patriotism
2014
We tested a series of discriminant associations, investigating how dimensions of patriotism (i.e. blind and constructive) differently relate to value orientations, and to ideological attitudes such as Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO). Using an Italian student sample (N = 146) we found that blind patriotism correlated positively with tradition and negatively with universalism, whilst constructive patriotism correlated negatively with tradition and positively with universalism. Both RWA and SDO correlated negatively with universalism, whilst only RWA was associated with security and tradition and only SDO related positively to power and self-direction. …
