“At the Western Palace”: The Dehumanization of Whiteness, Americanness, and Chinese-Americanness in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior
2021
The dehumanization of whiteness in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior (1976) inheres in the overarching ghosthood metaphor. While first generation Chinese American immigrants in The Woman Warrior attribute the power of transforming people into ghosts to the United States of America as a country, the questioning of a person’s humanity by calling them a “ghost” is not reserved for white people alone. Chinese American immigrants also run the risk of losing their humanity and becoming ghosts if they renounce their relatives and their heritage. The husband of the first-person narrator’s Chinese aunt, Moon Orchid, is an example of a Chinese American man, who turns into a ghost on account of…

Tensions and Paradoxes of Scaling Up : A Critical Reflection on Physical Activity Promotion
2022
Background: Achieving system-level, sustainable ‘scale-up’ of interventions is the epitome of successful translation of evidence-based approaches in population health. In physical activity promotion, few evidence-based interventions reach implementation at scale or become embedded within systems for sustainable health impact. This is despite the vast published literature describing efficacy studies of small-scale physical activity interventions. Research into physical activity scale-up (through case-study analysis; evaluations of scale-up processes in implementation trials; and mapping the processes, strategies, and principles for scale-up) has identified barriers and facilitato…
Giacomo Serpotta. Gli oratori di Palermo. Guida storico-artistica
2016
Il volume monografico prende in esame la vasta produzione di Giacomo Serpotta specificatamente all'interno del sistema degli oratori nella città di Palermo, edifici sacri di natura privata e di committenza laica ma religiosa, dunque con specifiche caratteristiche tipologiche e funzionali. La ricerca parte dall'identificazione degli oltre quaranta luoghi presi in esame, e prosegue con la ricostruzione storica, compresa la particolare committenza dei singoli monumenti, e degli apparati decorativi che investono tutta la sfera della produzione artistica, affrontata in sintesi anche nei capitoli introduttivi. Tutte le schede descrivono dettagliatamente gli oratori accompagnando il visitatore pas…

La edad como condicionante del derecho: El caso del paciente menor
2014
INTRODUCCIÓN La autonomía de las personas es un derecho fundamental indiscutible que tan solo puede verse limitado en las circunstancias que marque la Ley. Dentro del ámbito de la Medicina, superada la etapa de la filosofía paternalista, se acepta sin duda que una persona enferma no pierde, a causa del menoscabo de su salud, la capacidad de decidir. La autonomía del paciente está reconocida y constituye uno de los cuatro pilares en los que se fundamenta la Bioética. Pero además se encuentra protegida por las normas legales. La Ley General de Sanidad, la Ley 41/2002 básica reguladora de la autonomía del paciente y las diferentes normas autonómicas, recogen la obligación de los profesionales …
Formation and Mitigation of Technostress in the Personal Use of IT
2022
Understanding information technology (IT) use is vital for the information systems (IS) discipline due to its substantial positive and negative consequences. In recent years, IT use for personal purposes has grown rapidly. Although personal use is voluntary and can often reflect fun, technostress is a common negative consequence of such use. When left unaddressed, technostress can cause serious harm to IT users. However, prior research has not explained how technostress forms over time or how its mitigation takes place in a personal—rather than organizational—environment. To address these research gaps, we conducted a qualitative study with narrative interviews of IT users who had experienc…
High precision numerical approach for Davey–Stewartson II type equations for Schwartz class initial data
2020
We present an efficient high-precision numerical approach for Davey–Stewartson (DS) II type equa- tions, treating initial data from the Schwartz class of smooth, rapidly decreasing functions. As with previous approaches, the presented code uses discrete Fourier transforms for the spatial dependence and Driscoll’s composite Runge–Kutta method for the time dependence. Since DS equations are non-local, nonlinear Schrödinger equations with a singular symbol for the non-locality, standard Fourier methods in practice only reach accuracy of the order of 10−6or less for typical examples. This was previously demonstrated for the defocusing integrable case by comparison with a numerical approach for …
Barthes e il racconto
2017
Barthes ha scritto parecchio sul racconto, e secondo un’opinione diffusa ne è uno dei principali studiosi e interpreti. Ma possiamo dire che fosse realmente interessato a esso? che ne abbia colto l’articolazione formale profonda e le valenze antropologiche? che percepisse l’interesse teorico, al di là del racconto propriamente detto, di quella sua conseguenza metodologica che è la narratività? Le risposte non sono così scontate come sembrerebbe . Da una parte, grazie anche ai suoi scritti, entro il paradigma delle scienze umane – nonostante le continue epifanie di un positivismo redivivo – oggi nessuno dubita che la forma del racconto sia un modello ermeneutico essenziale per una generale c…
