Políticas de aparición/desaparición (The Politics of Appearance/Disappearance)
2019
Los asuntos concernientes a las políticas de la des/aparición son amplios, variados y complejos. Atendiendo a los procesos históricos y a las categorizaciones de la (des)aparición que de ellos se derivan, en este trabajo identificamos dos entradas analíticas que consideramos principales. En primer lugar, abordamos el significado de la aparición y la desaparición desde la perspectiva de la teoría política liberal. En concreto, analizamos cómo regímenes políticos distintos se relacionan con el individuo-ciudadano y el espacio púbico. En segundo lugar, respondiendo a una asentada tradición te&oacu…
Smart heritage: un approccio multiscalare
2016
L'articolo affronta un'analisi sulla duplice accezione dell’aggettivo smart, declinato in ambito energetico-ambientale e storico-culturale. La riqualificazione dei contesti urbani viene qui affrontata seguendo due filoni paralleli: da un lato, quello relativo agli aspetti della sostenibilità ambientale, verificata attraverso una lettura bioclimatica del luogo; dall'altro quello relativo alla rappresentazione di queste nuove città digitali. Si tratta di definire un approccio multidisciplinare, che interpola tecnologia e disegno, adottando nuovi mezzi di rappresentazione per la conoscenza multiscalare del patrimonio urbano. Una simile metodologia mira a individuare nell'ambiente costruito urb…
La Formation et la Reproduction des capacités humaines dans la pensée de Romano Alquati
2022
L’article traite de l’importance assumée par la question de la formation (de la reproduction à la capacité active vivante), dans la dernière période de Romano Alquati. On aborde également le problème de l’appauvrissement de la subjectivité qui, selon l’auteur, serait provoquée par la numérisation des processus d’éducation. The essays deals with the centrality increasingly assumend by the thems of training (the reproduction of active living working capacity) in the last Alquati, as well as the impoverishment of subjectivities that, according to this author, would occur with the digitation of many educational processes.
Higher Socioeconomic Status Predicts Less Risk of Depression in Adolescence: Serial Mediating Roles of Social Support and Optimism.
2020
Family socioeconomic status (SES) is known to have a powerful influence on adolescent depression. However, the inner mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. Here, we explore this issue by testing the potential mediating roles of social support (interpersonal resource) and optimism (intrapersonal resource), based on the predictions of the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM). Participants were 652 adolescents (age range: 11-20 years old, Mage =14.55 years, SD = 1.82; 338 boys (51.80%)) from two junior and two senior high schools in Wuhan, China. They completed questionnaires measuring family SES, perceived social support, trait optimism, and depression. Results showed, as predicted, (1) …
Phytoplankton dynamics in a shallow, hypertrophic reservoir (Lake Arancio, Sicily)
1994
Phytoplankton abundance and composition in the hypertrophic man-made Lake Arancio was analyzed, based on a programme of weekly sampling from May 1990 to November 1991 and supported by measurements of limnological parameters. The highest value of phytoplankton biomass (78 mg l-1) was observed in October 1990, during a bloom of the desmid Closterium limneticum var. fallax, while the lowest (0.15 mg l-1) was measured in April 1991. During spring, autumn and winter 1990, species of the genus Closterium dominated the community, in the sequence: C. aciculare, C. limneticum var. fallax, C. limneticum. The summer community was more diverse with the predominance of organisms belonging to Chlorophyce…
Residual a posteriori error estimation for frictional contact with Nitsche method
2023
We consider frictional contact problems in small strain elasticity discretized with finite elements and Nitsche method. Both bilateral and unilateral contact problems are taken into account, as well as both Tresca and Coulomb models for the friction. We derive residual a posteriori error estimates for each friction model, following [Chouly et al, IMA J. Numer. Anal. (38) 2018, pp. 921-954]. For the incomplete variant of Nitsche, we prove an upper bound for the dual norm of the residual, for Tresca and Coulomb friction, without any extra regularity and without a saturation assumption. Numerical experiments allow to assess the accuracy of the estimates and their interest for adaptive meshing …
Between looking back and moving ahead : an exploration of the role of the body and its movement in a music therapy case study
2017
We exist in this world through our bodies. Every single experience is stored in it, it helps us to communicate with others, relate and build meaningful relationships. However, when the connection to our experiences or the control over our body is disrupted by a traumatic experience or disease, we become disconnected from our genuine self and the world around us. Music therapy provides us with a space for integration – of painful or joyful memories, emotions, and our bodies. Especially in Western cultures this physical relationship to music is often neglected, even though music and dance probably developed simultaneously and are still very much the same in some African cultures. When we are …
Sport Coaches Burnout as a Threat to Professional Success, Mental Health and Well-Being
2021
The article explores motivational and personality predictors of burnout syndrome in sports coaches. The study involved 183 sports coaches of 20–63 years old (86.9% women; M=41.34±10.56 years), with professional experience for 13.83±9.98 years. Three components of professional burnout ― Emotional exhaustion, Depersonification and Reduction of professional achievements ― were measured with the adapted Maslach professional burnout inventory (Vodopyanova, et al 2008). Motivational aspects were measured with the adapted Ryan and Connell Professional Motivation inventory (Osin et al, 2017). Personal resources ― stress resistance, authenticity and coping strategies ― were measured with the adapted…
Photoinduced lethal and sublethal toxicity of retene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derived from resin acid, to coregonid larvae
2004
A comparative investigation on the acute phototoxicity of retene to vendace (Coregonus albula) and whitefish (C. lavaretus), both having pelagial larvae in spring, was conducted. To test the concept of early warning of sublethal biomarkers in relation to lethality to posthatch stages, we examined the effects of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) and retene on the levels of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) by exposing the animals to elevated levels of these factors for 48 and 72 h, respectively. Whereas UV-B and retene on their own were not lethal, simultaneous retene and UV-B exposure caused very high mortality to both species. The median lethal concentration (LC50; i.e., the c…
Contentio honestissima e certamen nequitiae nelle opere di Seneca
2017
Nel De beneficiis (I 4.3-4; III 21-22; V. 1-5), Seneca si serve del motivo della contentio per rappresentare il meccanismo virtuoso che suggerisce di impiegare nella prassi dei benefici, in cui la sconfitta non è mai considerata vergognosa. Come mostrano i più recenti studi sul trattato (in particolare, i contributi a cura di G. Picone, R. R. Marchese e R. Raccanelli), questo modulo non vanifica le diseguaglianze sociali delle relazioni asimmetriche, ma offre un modello di comportamento positivo consistente in una forma di alternanza virtuosa. Così, alla luce degli studi antropologici sul dono e sulla reciprocità nella società romana, il contributo si propone di mettere a confronto la dinam…
