Three phenanthroline-metal complexes with topologically similar but geometrically different conformations.

2016

Two out of the three very similar complexes described present twofold symmetry but not the third one, probably by way of a strong intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond disrupting the symmetry, a fact which is analysed in detail.

University Exchange Students’ Practices of Learning Finnish: A Language Ecological Approach to Affordances in Linguistic Landscapes

2020

In linguistic landscape (LL) studies, various projects have demonstrated how language learners benefit from tasks that involve the documentation and interpretation of the LL. In this chapter, we investigate how Finnish as a second language learner exchange students turned the local LL into affordances during their time abroad in Finland. While language awareness and its relation to learning and teaching have been extensively discussed, it has often been regarded as a property of an individual consciousness: a faculty or a tendency of a particular person to perceive, notice and reflect upon the linguistic features present in their environments. In contrast, we argue for an approach that cont…

Istruzione e produzione nei Quaderni del carcere

2019

In questo scritto, verranno interrogati alcuni paragrafi dei Quaderni del carcere di Gramsci relativi alla questione dell’istruzione, mostrandone i nessi con paragrafi dedicati all’industrialismo fordista e alle trasformazioni economico-produttive dei primi decenni del Novecento. Verrà, così, evidenziata la presenza, nei Quaderni, di un isomorfismo lessicale tra discorso sulla scuola e discorso sulla produzione e sulle mutazioni antropologiche consustanziali all’affermazione del fordismo. Per farlo, ci si soffermerà, tra le altre cose, sulla figura della scuola unica/unitaria per la prima volta evocata nel Quaderno 1 e poi approfondita nei Quaderni 4 e 12.

Cannabis and Psychosis: A Causal Association

2021

Nowadays, the use of cannabis is widespread around the world and THC content of confiscated cannabis has increased in the last years. This fact has raised some consequences, especially in the mental health of the people. Although there have existed some initial controversies about the relationship between cannabis and psychosis, at the present time there are some certainties of the causal association between them. Through the Bradford Hill postulates, we will try to demonstrate that cannabis produces psychosis. The strength of the association, the consistency along the studies, biological gradient, temporality, plausibility, coherence, experimentation, and analogies support the cause-effect…

Using Social Simulations in Interdisciplinary Primary Education: An Expert Appraisal

2020

Many people recognize that teaching basic skills in primary schools (reading, writing, and arithmetic) is no longer sufficient for pupils in the digital age. Therefore, governments now increasingly ask schools to add other skills (oral, digital) and to create connections between subjects (e.g., use mathematics in history lessons). In this study, we explored how social simulations can be used in primary education to meet these new goals. We conducted an expert appraisal (a qualitative Delphi method) with four experts specializing in innovating primary education. We selected three simulations that were freely available on the web, relevant for pupils’ lives and had a limited number of paramet…

The Oxford Union Debate on War in 1933 : Rhetoric, Representation. Political Action

2017

This paper shows how a debate conducted in the Oxford Union, the leading student debating society in Britain, was used to make a point about representation and politics in the national press, and what it means in terms of political action and who can be considered to make political arguments. In 1933 the Union debated a motion ‘That this House under no circumstances will fight for its King and Country’. It was carried by a clear margin, and the scandal it caused put the role of the Union and what it represented into question. It is here argued that there were two rhetorical levels in operation, rhetoric of representation and rhetoric of debate. With the former, the Union was blamed in the n…

Propedeutics and practice of research in Methodology programs of undergraduate Sociology degrees in Argentina and other Latin American countries

2020

Los programas de materias de Metodología de la Investigación en carreras universitarias de grado en Sociología, principalmente de Argentina (2018), constituyen el objeto de análisis del presente artículo. Partiendo de interrogantes en torno a los modos en que se enseña a investigar, se escogió analizar programas en tanto documentos que cristalizan y brindan indicios de prácticas y discursos formativos. Si bien los programas distan de las prácticas en las aulas, ofrecen información significativa y permiten ampliar la muestra respecto a la observación in situ. Los resultados del relevamiento se organizaron en dos ejes: las variantes en las propuestas de enseñanza y las maneras de entender las…
