Women fighters as agents of change: A Brazilian jiu jitsu case study from Finland
2015
Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ), a grappling system of combat, evolved from the teachings of a Japanese judoka who moved to Brazil in the 1920s. Focusing on ground fighting, BJJ is rapidly evolving into a combat sport with competitions taking place worldwide (Hogeveen and Hardes, 2014; Spencer, 2014). Unique to the BJJ culture is the way that the ‘secrets’ of the sport are transferred from expert to novice and from one club to the other. Clubs are organised into international ‘teams’, shaping global communities of practitioners that share techniques and philosophies. Unlike many other martial arts that insist on the traditional way of passing knowledge from one teacher to many students behind the…
Anwendungsbezogene Transformationen antiker Literatur im Neuhumanismus und in unmittelbarer Zeitgegenwart. Ausstellungspraktische und jugenddidaktisc…
2017
Właśnie w czasach oszczędności finansowych oraz postępującego procesu ekonomizacji kultury jest ważnym fakt, aby filolodzy angażowali się również kulturowo i politycznie dla swoich autorów, nad którymi sprawują opiekę naukową, oraz w zakresie tematyki dzieł. Artykuł opisuje przygotowywaną wystawę w Domu Literatury im. Johann-Heinrich-Voß'a w Penzlin, w miejscowości, w której Voß otrzymał pierwsze impulsy rozwoju. Voß wyjaśnia propozycje szkolno-pedagogiczne, w pewnym sensie skromne warsztaty literackie, które zostaną zrealizowane w ramach wystawy stałej zatytułowanej "Johann Heinrich Voß. Grek z Mecklenburii".

Disumano, troppo umano. La maschera del tiranno e l’antropologia dei filosofi (da Sofocle a Seneca)
2019
Tyranny is often regarded as "a perennial problem" (Boesche 1996) on the basis of its ubiquitous presence in literature. Even more enduring is the problem of how to define human nature, its place in the environment, and its relationship to the divine – a core issue of philosophical anthropology (Pansera 2001, Honenberger 2015). In the present paper, I shall approach the literary construction of the tyrant figure in Greek and Roman tragedy from the holistic perspective of philosophical anthropology. I will focus on three well-known dramas (Sophocles’ Oedipus the King and Antigone and Seneca’s Thyestes) which put great emphasis on the moral and cognitive status of tyrants as “exceptional” hum…
Predicting species richness of wood-inhabiting fungi, epiphytic bryophytes and lichens based on stand structure and indicator species
2015
Maailmanlaajuinen monimuotoisuuden vähentyminen on ollut suuri huolenaihe jo useiden vuosikymmenten ajan. Lauhkeat lehtimetsät ovat yksi eniten ihmisen vaikutuksesta kärsineistä biomeista ja eteenkin vanhat, luonnontilaiset metsät ovat vähentyneet huolestuttavasti. Ilmaston ja maisemallisten tekijöiden lisäksi metsän historia, häiriödynamiikka, metsätalous ja ekologinen jatkuvuus vaikuttavat metsän rakenteelliseen monimuotoisuuteen ja näin ollen myös lajirunsauteen. Monet lajiryhmät ovat kuitenkin huonosti tunnettuja ja vaikeasti havaittavissa, eikä lopullisia syitä lajin häviämiseen alueelta pystytä varmasti sanomaan. Tutkimukseni tarkoitus oli selvittää, mitkä elementit metsän rakenteessa…

Ceramic Production in the Indigenous Settlement of Entella (Western Sicily) During the Archaic Age
2010
Indigenous fine tablewares (both plain and with painted geometric patterns/decorations) were widely diffused in western and central Sicily between the seventh and the fifth centuries BC (Gargini 1995; Spatafora 1996; Trombi 1999; Campisi 2003 However, the considerable recurrence of shapes and decorative subjects inhibits the identification of specific production centres merely on the basis of stylistic and morphological analyses. Therefore, the extent of the distribution of objects manufactured in different workshops cannot be fully appreciated, and the network of ceramic trade in Archaic Sicily is acknowledged only in terms of the relationships between the Phoenician and Greek colonies and…
Il progetto EFIAN per Noto Antica, indagine storica e rappresentazione digitale: un connubio necessario
2017
Il progetto “Experimental Fruition Ingenious Ancient Noto” (E.F.I.A.N) cofinanziato dal M.I.U.R nell’ambito di fondi dedicati all’incentivazione delle start up, costituisce l’ultima iniziativa, in ordine di tempo, rivolta allo studio, alla salvaguardia e alla valorizzazione del sito archeologico di Noto Antica, città distrutta e poi abbandonata in seguito al terremoto del 1693 che devastò la Sicilia sud-orientale.
