Patrimonio Cultural y Política Educativa del Consejo de Europa: ¿Preservando la identidad y buscando un núcleo central?
2019
This article presents the Council of Europe’s educational policy, indicating its major milestones and characteristics when it comes to issues of cultural heritage. First it offers an analysis of the strategic documents (i.e. recommendation No. R (98) 5 of the committee of ministers to member states concerning heritage education and conventions, with emphasis on the Council of Europe Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society (Faro Convention). The notion of a common European Cultural Heritage as a shared and non-renewable resource is presented in the human rights approach to cultural heritage. The article pays special attention to intercultural dialogue and how it is…
A taxonomic survey of lactic acid bacteria isolated from wheat (Triticum durum) kernels and non-conventional flours
2007
In order to explore the correspondence between raw material- and mature sourdough-lactic acid bacterial (LAB) communities, 59 Italian wheat (Triticum durum) grain samples, one bran and six non-conventional flour samples were analyzed through a culture-dependent approach. The highest cell count by an agar medium specific for LAB was 2.16 log CFU/g. From about 2300 presumptive LAB (Gram-positive and catalase-negative) colonies collected, a total of 356 isolates were subjected to identification by a genetic polyphasic strategy consisting of RAPD-PCR analysis, partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing, species-specific and multiplex PCRs. The isolates were recognized as 137 strains belonging to Aerococc…
Representation of Children’s Views in Finnish Newspaper Media Across Three Decades
2020
As the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, it is relevant to explore how understandings of children’s rights have appeared during these three decades. As a key public actor in society, the media provides an interesting field in which to study the salience of children’s rights in societal and public discussions. Thus, in this article, we examine how children’s views are represented in «Helsingin Sanomat», the main national newspaper of Finland, in 1997, 2007, and 2017. This examination is based on articles 12 and 13 of the UNCRC, where it is stated that children have the right to express themselves in all matters affecting them. …
Laser Ultrasonics Inspection of Train Wheel - Evaluation of Optimized Setup
2021
In the railway field, the safety of passengers and the service life of train components are a crucial issue. For this reason, continuous periodic inspections by non-destructive techniques are required. Among these, ultrasonic tests are widely used in this field, even though the conventional ultrasound techniques have the disadvantage of requiring the disassembly of the wheels and of putting the train out of service. This procedure is expensive and time-consuming and can be neglected if non-contact ultrasonic techniques are used. In this work, the authors present an experimental research on some defects, artificially obtained on a railway wheel supplied by Trenitalia Spa, by adopting three d…
Diffuse Liver Diseases: Role of imaging
2018
Nowadays, the most common imaging techniques allow to study focal liver lesions with high diagnostic accuracy but a relatively recent emerging field of interest is represented by diffuse liver disease. They include a variegated series of storage and metabolic pathologies (ie, iron overload disorders and steatosis) requiring a precise diagnosis not always possible at imaging due to the overlapping of findings at conventional ultrasound, CT, or MR studies. In recent years, several imaging tecniques and specific softwares have been developed, especially for ultrasound and MR imaging, in order to identify different parameters useful in the noninvasive recognition and follow-up of these diffuse …
Improving the Seismic Response of Tall Buildings: From Diagrid to Megastructures and Mega-Subcontrol Systems
2022
Background: Diagrid structures, widely used for the tall buildings of the third millennium, are characterized by a very effective behaviour in the elastic field due to the grid triangulation. In particular, under horizontal actions, axial forces and deformations mainly arise in the structural members of the diagrid, thus resulting in the reduction of the shear lag effect and racking deformations. The response to incremental horizontal actions beyond the plastic threshold, however, shows a poor plastic redistribution capacity, with consequent low values of global ductility, in spite of a significant design overstrength. Objective: In this paper, it is proposed to exploit the high elastic ef…
Understanding of Mendelian Inheritance Model after conventional teaching methods in Secondary Education students
2015
Mostrar que una nueva propuesta de enseñanza produce mejores actitudes y aprendizajes en los alumnos requiere disponer de un análisis de lo que se hace y se consigue con la enseñanza habitual. Para realizar dicho análisis se ha efectuado un estudio histórico y epistemológico de la evolución de las ideas en genética clásica, identificando los problemas que están en su origen, las ideas que permitieron avanzar y los obstáculos que hubo que superar. Como resultado de dicho estudio se han seleccionado un conjunto de indicadores de aprendizaje que deberían manifestarse en aquellas personas que hubieran comprendido los aspectos esenciales del modelo de herencia mendeliana, que se imparte en 4º de…
«The best interests of the child»: un’analisi giurisprudenziale comparata per un approfondimento concettuale
La vera innovazione apportata dalla Convenzione ONU diritti dell’infanzia del 1989 è, senz’altro, costituita dall’introduzione del concetto di “best interests of the child”. L’articolo 3 della CRC, infatti, sancisce espressamente che: «In all actions concerning children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities or legislative bodies, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration». Ma in cosa consiste realmente questo "interesse superiore del minore"? A chi spetta indicarne il contenuto? E soprattutto quali sono i parametri di riferimento da tenere in considerazione nel valutarlo? Nell’arco di pochi anni…
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on human rights of women and girls with disabilities
2021
El presente artículo aborda la situación de especial vulnerabilidad en la que se encuentran las mujeres y niñas con discapacidad, la cual se ha visto agravada en el contexto de la crisis provocada por la pandemia de Covid-19. En efecto, en la primera parte el autor toma nota del actual deterioro de los derechos humanos de las mujeres y niñas con discapacidad, lo cual constituye un desafío para evitar su marginación en términos de doble discriminación. Para afrontar dicho reto, en la segunda parte se pone el énfasis en el papel crucial de la Convención de Naciones Unidas sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad como estándar mínimo de protección. En este sentido, en la tercera par…
