Palazzo Lanza dei Principi di Deliella. Dai disegni di archivio di Ernesto Basile alla ricostruzione virtuale
2022
Il contributo indaga il progetto di Ernesto Basile, mai realizzato, per Palazzo Lanza dei principi di Deliella a Palermo, attraverso lo studio dei disegni originali (1895-1897). Questi consistono in 15 documenti grafici che raccolgono 5 piante, 6 prospetti e 4 viste prospettiche, che rappresentano quattro versioni di progetto con diverse soluzioni, di ognuna delle quali è possibile reperire una documentazione frammentaria e incompleta, riconducibile a tempi ideativi differenti. Il contributo ripercorre, mediante il ridisegno, il percorso compiuto da Basile per giungere dalla prima all’ultima versione, raccontando graficamente l’evoluzione della pianta dell’edificio che, dall’impianto simmet…
Casual, Colloquial, Commonsensical: A News Values Stylistic Analysis of a Populist Newsfeed
2021
This study explores a mediated variety of right-wing populist discourse in the digital context, given the populists’ inclination to bypass legacy media to connect directly to the citizens to garner political support. It analyzes a sample of the Tea Party’s newsfeed headlines posted in the spring of 2019. A corpus of 308 headlines collected according to a “constructed week” formula has been coded first according to selected news values parameters (Bednarek and Caple 2017), and then with respect to stylistic devices operationalized in terms of “casual,” “colloquial” and “commonsensical” expressions. Methodologically, the study aims to combine the perspectives of newsworthiness and stylistics …
I ponti in Sicilia fra XVIII e XIX secolo attraverso la rappresentazione inconografica
2014
Il contributo presenta i primi esiti di una più ampia indagine sui ponti siciliani, finalizzato alla inventariazione dei materiali iconografici relativi alle strutture realizzate o progettate e mai costruite in Sicilia fra XVIII e XIX secolo. I disegni di architettura conservati negli archivi pubblici isolani consentono di verificare conoscenze, tecniche e prerogative dei professionisti chiamati a realizzare o a ristrutturare i ponti. L’intervento prende le mosse dalla celebre incisione del ponte sul fiume Milicia (1729) dell’architetto Ferdinando Fuga, oggetto di una lunga contesa, fino alle sperimentazioni con materiali innovativi e tecniche d’importazione attuate alla metà del XIX secolo…
I ponti in Sicilia fra XVIII e XIX secolo attraverso la rappresentazione iconografica
2013
La comunicación tiene como objetivo catalogar el material iconográfico relacionado con los puentes y los proyectos de puentes elaborados en Sicilia entre los siglos XVIII y XIX. A través de una investigación que estudie los dibujos arquitectónicos conservados en los archivos públicos, se pueden comprobar los conocimientos, las técnicas y las peculiaridades de los profesionales llamados a crear o a restaurar los puentes. Las características orográficas de la isla, rica en ríos de régimen torrencial obligó a una especial atención en este campo. De hecho, son frecuentes las polémicas y los debates en situaciones complejas enfrentando el constante peligro de derrumbe determinado por las inundac…
Can we organize courage? Implications of Foucault's parrhesia
2012
Ethics in organizations, raising concerns, and whistleblowing have been previously theorized through Foucault's work on the power/knowledge bond. However, approaching these issues through the work from Foucault's third period on parrhesia, or fearless speech remains an underdeveloped route. This paper contributes to this emerging research stream. Based on Foucault's work on parrhesia, and the importance of courage for fearless speech to occur, we theorize the possibility of critique within organizations as a moment of disorganizing, which requires a chain of parrhesia where not only the speaker but also the hearer requires courage. The paper examines the possibility and risks of organizing …
Predicting the 2000‐m Rowing Ergometer Performance from Anthropometric, Maximal Oxygen Uptake and 60‐s Mean Power Variables in National Level Young R…
2020
Abstract Many studies reported various relationships between 2000-m rowing performance and anthropometric as well as metabolic variables, however, little is known about 60-s mean power in elite youth athletes. The aim of this study was to develop different regression models to predict 2000-m rowing indoor performance time (t2000) using anthropometric variables, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and mean power established during a 60-s all-out test (W60) in national elite youth rowers. Fifteen youth male Italian rowers (age: 15.7 ± 2.0 years; body height: 176.0 ± 8.0 cm; body mass: 71.2 ± 10.0 kg) performed an incremental maximal test, a 60-s all-out test and a 2000-m race simulation using a Co…
Specialized Movement on the Rowing Ergometer and Post-workout Changes in Selected Peripheral Blood Parameters – a Case Report.
2018
Rowing is a sport discipline, which requires extreme physical strength and endurance and appropriate aerobic and anaerobic capacity as well. However, when the workout intensity and load is very high, exercise is associated with temporary changes in cellular metabolism and the immune system. The study included one male rower aged 28 years – the highly-skilled and experienced athlete. We determined basic cardiorespiratory fitness measures, complete blood count, and 24 clinical chemistry parameters including relevant biochemical and haematological parameters and matrix metaloproteinases activities. Maximal exercise on the rowing ergometer induced 2-fold increase in absolute counts of all leuko…
Modificazioni posturali indotte dal canottaggio in giovani atleti ben allenati
2005
This research brings evidence that rowing represents a valid sports model for helping both healthy and paramorphic people in changing unhealthy back positions. In particular, this study analyzed the changes induced to the back of twenty well trained athletes. Furthermore, it was taken into consideration a case of an athlete who presented a case of kyphosis and lordosys. This study was carried on for a period of two years during which it was observed that both kyphosis and lordosys had disappeared in the subject observed for this study. The quantitative and qualitative variables taken into account here, demonstrate that the positive results for correcting and self-correcting the position of …
