Soluzioni per la ventilazione naturale e precetti igienici nell’edilizia ospedaliera tra Ottocento e Novecento
2016
La ventilazione, il riscaldamento e raffrescamento, il soleggiamento divennero, tra Ottocento e Novecento, strumenti imprescindibili per garantire la salubrità dell’aria e degli ambienti, sia nel caso di risanamento di edifici esistenti, sia nella realizzazione di nuove costruzioni. La tipologia degli ospedali era, al pari delle scuole, teatri, mercati quella in cui i sistemi di ventilazione finalizzati all’igiene dell’aria erano studiati con più accuratezza. Si ricorreva ad ingegnosi espedienti che consentivano di mantenere nello stabilimento sanitario quelle condizioni che garantissero il comfort ambientale, evitando l’entrata di aria dai padiglioni delle malattie infettive; particolare i…
Towards Socio-material Research Approaches in Language Education
2022
AbstractThis chapter outlines the socio-material framing of the book that it opens. We situate this volume materially not only in the discipline of applied linguistics and language education, but also in the long tradition of applied language studies at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland and the community there. In doing so, the book builds on the authors’ roots in social constructionist thought and explicates why an orientation towards new materialism may be useful for a consideration of equity issues in language education. Socio-materialism fosters a critical, transformative perspective and encourages an ontological ethical grounding of research, thus providing a starting point for re…
Les anglicismes en français et en tcheque contemporains : le cas des formes en-ing
2020
The aim of this study is to analyze the neological borrowings from English that occur in contemporary French and Czech. Special emphasis is placed on neological borrowings with the -ing suffix. Owing to the status of Anglo-American as a lingua franca, Anglicisms affect all languages. This study investigates more specifically the processes involved in these -ing constructions. After a quantitative analysis of the respective diffusion and productivity in both languages, we focus on a few specific words (phishing, géocaching, sharing, washing), attested in both languages, and compare their integration from several perspectives (phonological, orthographical, morphological, semantic and local va…
Brain Source Correlates of Speech Perception and Reading Processes in Children With and Without Reading Difficulties
2022
Neural correlates in reading and speech processing have been addressed extensively in the literature. While reading skills and speech perception have been shown to be associated with each other, their relationship remains debatable. In this study, we investigated reading skills, speech perception, reading, and their correlates with brain source activity in auditory and visual modalities. We used high-density event-related potentials (ERPs), fixation-related potentials (FRPs), and the source reconstruction method. The analysis was conducted on 12–13-year-old schoolchildren who had different reading levels. Brain ERP source indices were computed from frequently repeated Finnish speech stimuli…
Event reconstruction in NEXT using a ML-EM algorithm
2017
La desintegración doble beta sin neutrinos es un proceso hipotético en el que dos neutrones de un núcleo se transforman en dos protones emitiendo únicamente dos electrones, sin neutrinos. La detección de un proceso así demostraría que los neutrinos son partículas de Majorana y que el número leptónico total no se conserva (las oscilaciones de neutrinos ya han demostrado que el número leptónico por familia no se conserva). La determinación de la naturaleza del neutrino podría responder a varias preguntas de diversa índole dentro de la física de partículas. Primero, podría dar explicación a la escala de masas del neutrino a través de un mecanismo de balancín (see-saw). Por…
Identity exploration through given names
2018
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten alakouluikäiset oppilaat luovat merkityksiä etunimelleen ja lempinimelleen sekä rakentavat identiteettiään käsitellessään nimeään. Nimen ja identiteetin merkityksellinen yhteys on havaittu aiemmassa kirjallisuudessa; aihe on kuitenkin saanut verrattain vähän huomiota aiemmissa suomalaisissa tutkimuksissa. Kahdeksantoista 6. luokan oppilasta osallistui tiedon tuottamiseen. Osallistujat valmistivat portfolion ja jälkikäteen 12 heistä osallistui puolistrukturoituun haastatteluun. Osallistujien narratiivit analysointiin tulkitsevalla diskurssinanalyysillä. Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että tutkimukseen osallistuneet 6.-luokkalaiset rakentavat …
Person reference as a device for constructing experiences as typical in group therapy.
2008
Sharing one's experiences is a crucial activity in group therapies. In such therapies, groups can be either constituted around one problem or goal common to all the clients, or the group can work as a place in which clients can learn from one another and share experiences whether their individual problems are similar or not. Almost all (psycho) therapy types have a group application, and groups are assumed to be rather efficient in psychological progressing (see, e.g. Corey, 1986; Wootton, 1977). In this article I will concentrate on one type of group therapy, namely the Minnesota model group therapy for addicts, and examine how the clients share experiences and, especially, how they constr…
Non-linear analysis of plane steel prestressed truss in fire
2002
The concept of analysis of 2-D static loaded prestressed steel trusses till failure during fire using a modified method of forces is presented. Failure of steel trusses in fire is based on the criterion of stresses. Behaviour of steel is described by non-linear constitutive model (based on hypo-elastic Ramberg-Osgood formula and Dorn creep theory) and Plem proposition (for string). Both models are approximated in calculations by hyperbolic Norton-Bailey rule. Fire simulates thermal force as an action of high temperature that increases linearly up to some level. The complete formulation of this method is illustrated by the algorithm of model parameters identification. Analysis of results for…

Numerical construction of the density-potential mapping
2018
We demonstrate how a recently developed method Nielsen et al. [Nielsen et al., EPL 101, 33001 (2013)] allows for a comprehensive investigation of time-dependent density functionals in general, and of the exact time-dependent exchange-correlation potential in particular, by presenting the first exact results for two- and three-dimensional multi-electron systems. This method is an explicit realization of the Runge–Gross correspondence, which maps time-dependent densities to their respective potentials, and allows for the exact construction of desired density functionals. We present in detail the numerical requirements that makes this method efficient, stable and precise even for large and rap…
