Introduzione. La pedagogia di Aldo Capitini. Un misticismo al servizio del bene comune
2016
Aldo Capitini (1899-1968) è una figura rappresentativa e al tempo stesso originale della cultura italiana del Novecento. La sua pedagogia è una filosofia paideitica fondata sul principio della compresenza di tutti, che ha il compito di indicare ad ogni soggetto la propria responsabilità nei confronti dell’altro e del bene comune. La compresenza, l’apertura, l’aggiunta, la tramutazione, il valore, il maestro-profeta, la scuola aperta, la riforma dell’Università: sono questi alcuni dei temi capitiniani che richiamano l’attenzione del lettore sulla straordinaria attualità di una pedagogia che promuove l’incontro tra educazione e religione in vista della costruzione di un mondo nonviolento.

La pedagogia di Aldo Capitini. Un misticismo al servizio del bene comune
2016
This contribution presents Aldo Capitini (1899-1968), a representative and original figure of the Italian culture of the twentieth century. In the anthology of his unpublished writings, his pedagogy appears as a paideitic philosophy founded on the principle of the coexistence of everyone, which has the task of indicating to each subject their responsibility towards the other and the common good. The coexistence, the openness, the addition, the transmutation, the value, the teacher-prophet, the open school, the reform of the University: these are some of the Capitinian themes that catch the reader's attention on the extraordinary relevance of a pedagogy that promotes the encounter between ed…
Dietary and Temporal Niche Differentiation in Tropical Ants-Can They Explain Local Ant Coexistence?
2014
How species with similar ecological requirements avoid competitive exclusion remains contentious, especially in the species-rich tropics. Niche differentiation has been proposed as a major mechanism for species coexistence. However, different niche dimensions must be studied simultaneously to assess their combined effects on diversity and composition of a community. In most terrestrial ecosystems, ants are among the most abundant and ubiquitous animals. Since they display direct, aggressive competition and often competitively displace subordinate species from resources, niche differentiation may be especially relevant among ants. We studied temporal and trophic niche differentiation in a gr…
MINIMALIST THEORY OF FICTION AND THE ICTHINKING® METHOD AS A BACKGROUND FOR NEW INSIGHTS TO AUTISM
2021
The standard approach to conceptual understanding in the case of autism uses the distinction of abstract versus concrete thinking. This approach has its benefits but fails to explain all features of language use. For example, some concepts change their meaning in different contexts in contrast to concepts that are more rigid in their uses, such as mathematical concepts. This idea has its background in Minimalist theory of fiction (MTF), a theory that considers ‘skills to use words’ essential for understanding fiction, contrasting with theories that require pretending or make believe to understand fiction. From this background, the theory of Integrative Complexity (IC), and the method animat…
From Mood to Meaning: The Changing Model of the User in Entertainment Research
2015
In recent years, entertainment theory has undergone a paradigmatic shift: The traditional conceptualization of entertainment as an exclusively pleasurable affective state has been significantly extended by recent two-factor models. These models have introduced a second dimension of entertainment that incorporates more complex nonhedonic experiences, such as the search for meaning or intrinsic need satisfaction. They have not only crucially altered the way communication scholars conceptualize the audience of media entertainment but also our discipline's view on the effects of entertaining media content. The present article discusses the implications of this changing model of the media user b…
Perceptual semantics: A three-level approach
2010
In this work we suggest a model according to which semantics has been already generated during the perception through the interaction of three dynamic levels of perceptual organization. We consider perceptual grouping as the first order processing. Shape formation is considered as the second order processing. Both grouping and shape formation can be considered as two complementary and interrelated processes of perceptual organization. The third — partially overlapping — level is meaning assignment. Most of the results are supported by empirical evidence based on new visual illusions of shape and meaning and are consistent with several other proposals (e.g., [1], [2] and [3]).
Towards a conceptual representation of actions
2000
An autonomous robot involved in missions should be able to generate, update and process its own actions. It is not plausible that the meaning of the actionsus ed by the robot isgiv en form the outside of the system itself. Rather, this meaning should be anchored to the world through the perceptual abilitiesof the robot. We present an approach to conceptual action representation based on a "conceptual" level that actsasan intermediate level between symbolsand data coming form sensors. Symbolic representations are interpreted by mapping them on the conceptual level through a mapping mechanism based on artificial neural networks.
Zur Existenz von Lösungen gewisser Randwertaufgaben
1971
With the aid of some known results about integral equations of the Hammerstein type there is proofed an existence theorem for the following class of boundary value problems−y″−l 2 y′=f(x,y),y(a)=y(b)=0,l 2>0 mit|f(x, y)|=0,l 3 (x)>0. The existence range is determined by the greatest eigenvalue of some linear problem.
Correspondences Between 2-Brauer Characters of Solvable Groups
2010
Let G be a finite solvable group and let p be a prime. Let P ∈ Syl p (G) and N = N G (P). We prove that there exists a natural bijection between the 2-Brauer irreducible characters of p′-degree of G and those of N G (P).
Almost Tight Bound for the Union of Fat Tetrahedra in Three Dimensions
2007
For any AND-OR formula of size N, there exists a bounded-error N1/2+o(1)-time quantum algorithm, based on a discrete-time quantum walk, that evaluates this formula on a black-box input. Balanced, or "approximately balanced," formulas can be evaluated in O(radicN) queries, which is optimal. It follows that the (2-o(1))th power of the quantum query complexity is a lower bound on the formula size, almost solving in the positive an open problem posed by Laplante, Lee and Szegedy.
