The authenticity of Platonic Critias
2020
The article discusses the thesis of Rashed and Auffret, who believe that the Critias, which has until now been considered Platonic by almost all scholars, is spurious, due to some inconsistencies that seem to emerge from a comparison between the prologues of the Critias and the 77-maeus. These contradictions do not seem decisive and can be explained through a different interpretation of the two texts. In addition to the arguments concerning the contents of the work, some linguistic and lexical observations can be added that also confirm the authenticity of the dialogue.
Semantics driven interaction using natural language in students tutoring
2007
The aim of this work is to introduce a semantic integration between an ontology and a chatbot in an Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to interact with students using natural language. The interaction process is driven by the use of a purposely defined ontology. In the ontology two types of conceptual relations are defined. Besides the usual relations, which are used to define the domain's structure, another type of relation is used to define the navigation schema inside the ontology according to the need of managing uncertainty. Uncertainty level is related to student knowledge level about the involved concepts. In this work we propose an ITS for the Java programming language called TutorJ…

Sobre los diálogos escolares de Juan Luis Vives en México en 1554 : una edición con comentario
2019
En este trabajo se presenta un estudio acerca de la edición de los Diálogos escolares de Juan Luis Vives que el humanista toledano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar pasó por la imprenta de Juan Pablos en la recién fundada ciudad de México de los conquistadores en el año 1554. Fue la primera vez que Vives es editado en el continente americano debido principalmente a la necesidad del profesor de retórica de la recién fundada universidad novohispana de utilizar los breves diálogos para uso pedagógico en su desarrollo docente. La novedad de esta edición radica en un comentario de Francisco Cervantes de Salazar a los textos de Vives, poco conocidos, pues no se han editado desde su publicación en 15…
Dialogues in partner abusive clients' group treatment: conversational tools used by counselors with differently motivated clients.
2014
This qualitative study investigated talk and interaction as process factors potentially influencing outcomes in abuser group intervention. The findings showed that (a) abusers participate in group programs with considerably different degrees of motivation; (b) the interaction in abusers’ various stages of change is characterized by different qualities; and (c) group counselors face a challenge in adapting their ways of working to abusers’ various needs and backgrounds. The findings demonstrate the importance of attending to the interactional elements in abuser treatment programs and show the value of matching an abuser’s needs and degree of motivation with the timing of interventions. It is…

Shared Sequences from Network Therapy with Adolescents Only the therapist Finds Meaningful
2016
As part of a larger research project, this qualitative study explores sequences from six network therapy sessions. We focused on these sequences because only the therapists found them to be meaningful; the other participants did not think they were significant. The aim of this study was to explore the therapists’ inner dialogues, the degree to which these inner dialogues consist of professional and personal voices, and what this means for the dialogical process. We used a multi-perspective methodology that combines video recordings of network therapy sessions, participants’ interviews, and text analysis. We found that the outer dialogue and the therapists’ inner dialogues are strongly relat…
Global connectedness in higher education : student voices on the value of cross-cultural learning dialogue
2015
The study explores how sense of global connectedness can be enhanced by creating opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue in higher education. Thematic analysis of randomly selected 15 learning journals, students’ reflections on their learning during an international seminar was used to identify students’ significant learning experiences. The results emphasise the added value of diversity (geographical, disciplinary, cultural and social) among students, faculty and invited presenters for creating meaningful learning. Furthermore, they suggest that designing an integrated approach of contents, contexts and activities for critical engagement in global dialogue and knowledge generation in hig…
The Significance of Silent Moments in Creating Words for the Not-Yet-Spoken Experiences in Threat of Divorce
2015
In the context of couple therapy involving the threat of divorce, the study examined the significance of silent moments for arriving at words for the not-yet-spoken experiences. It also examined whether interactional and embodied synchrony occurred during such silent moments. A mixed method analysis was conducted, focusing on the therapeutic dialogue, psychophysiological data (the Autonomic Nervous System, ANS), and the participants’ thoughts and feelings during individual Stimulated Recall interviews. Two episodes containing several silent moments were analyzed. The analysis indicated that during the silent moments the participants continued the therapeutic conversations through their enti…
The role of the silent moments in relational conflict situation in multi-actor therapy dialogue
2015
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli syventää hiljaisten hetkien merkitystä pariterapiassa keskusteltaessa parisuhdekonfliktista. Lisäksi tarkastelimme, löytyykö hiljaisten hetkien aikana synkroniaa osallistujien väliltä keskustelun ja kehon tasolla. Monimenetelmäinen tutkimuksemme keskittyi kolmeen tasoon: terapeuttiseen keskusteluun, psykofysiologisista mittareista (autonominen hermosto) saatuun informaatioon sekä osallistujien ajatuksiin ja tunteisiin SR- haastattelussa. Nämä mittarit analysoitiin ensin erikseen, jonka jälkeen niiden antama informaatio yhdistettiin. Tarkoituksena oli saada mahdollisimman luotettavaa tietoa hiljaisten hetkien merkityksestä parisuhdekonfliktin käsittelyssä.…
