Altered neural responses to social fairness in bipolar disorder
2020
Highlights • Bipolar disorder is characterized by impaired processing of social fairness. • BD patients exhibit increased rejection of moderate unfairness in Ultimatum Game. • BD patients display decreased response to moderate unfairness in anterior insula. • BD patients deactivate posterior and middle insula in response to unfairness. • Trait impulsivity positively correlated with deactivations in posterior insula.
Patrimonio culturale e tecnologia: un incontro ancora da valorizzare
2020
Today, many factors are driving cultural institutions to adopt digitization strategies. For some of them, as organizations in charge of monument care, historical or archaeological museums and heritage parks, this might be critical. Indeed, making available off-site experiences of heritage places, for instance by augmented reality and/or video games, fuels polyvalent and potentially contradictory dynamics. They lay at the intersection of three main dimensions: understanding how cultural heritage and technology interact; which attitudes people in charge of cultural heritage bear, and how tourist destinations are built and promoted. The paper combines information about the evolution of the lit…

Similarities between Playing World of Warcraft and CLIL
2012
This article argues that playing World of Warcraft (WoW) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) have a number of similar features. We base our argument on findings from three studies. The first (Sylvén 2004/2010) is about CLIL and non-CLIL students at upper secondary level and aims to investigate what effect, if any, CLIL has on the incidental acquisition of vocabulary. The second (Sundqvist 2009) is about extramural English and aims to examine its potential impact on learners’ oral proficiency and vocabulary. Extramural English is broadly defined as any type of contact that learners have with English outside the classroom. The third is a joint study focusing on young learners …
Cardinal inequalities involving the Hausdorff pseudocharacter
2023
We establish several bounds on the cardinality of a topological space involving the Hausdorff pseudocharacter $H\psi(X)$. This invariant has the property $\psi_c(X)\leq H\psi(X)\leq\chi(X)$ for a Hausdorff space $X$. We show the cardinality of a Hausdorff space $X$ is bounded by $2^{pwL_c(X)H\psi(X)}$, where $pwL_c(X)\leq L(X)$ and $pwL_c(X)\leq c(X)$. This generalizes results of Bella and Spadaro, as well as Hodel. We show additionally that if $X$ is a Hausdorff linearly Lindel\"of space such that $H\psi(X)=\omega$, then $|X|\le 2^\omega$, under the assumption that either $2^{<\mathfrak{c}}=\mathfrak{c}$ or $\mathfrak{c}<\aleph_\omega$. The following game-theoretic result is shown: i…
Los ballesteros del rey, los arneses empeñados y otros nuevos documentos sobre Pero Niño
2018
RESUMENSe presentan cuatro documentos hasta ahora desconocidos sobre Pero Niño, datados entre 1404 y 1431, que arrojan luz sobre algunos episodios poco detallados o silenciados en El Victorial, la biografía caballeresca que le dedicó Gutierre Díaz de Games.PALABRAS CLAVEPero Niño, Gutierre Díaz de Games, El Victorial.ABSTRACTThis study presents four unknown documents about Pero Niño, dated between 1404 and 1431. They shed light on several episodes that are undetailed or silenced in El Victorial, the chivalric biography written by Gutierre Díaz de Games.KEYWORDSPero Niño, Gutierre Díaz de Games, El Victorial.

(H, ρ)-induced dynamics and the quantum game of life
2017
Abstract We propose an extended version of quantum dynamics for a certain system S , whose evolution is ruled by a Hamiltonian H, its initial conditions, and a suitable set ρ of rules, acting repeatedly on S . The resulting dynamics is not necessarily periodic or quasi-periodic, as one could imagine for conservative systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. In fact, it may have quite different behaviors depending on the explicit forms of H, ρ as well as on the initial conditions. After a general discussion on this (H, ρ)-induced dynamics, we apply our general ideas to extend the classical game of life, and we analyze several aspects of this extension.
Gaming as a Key Approach for the Recovery Process of a Public Space: The Case Study of the Old Chemical Plant ‘Chimica Arenella’ in Palermo
2021
This poster describes the FORGE (FactOry of uRban GamEs) project, a proposal that our research group launched in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo (Italy) and other local stakeholders in 2019. FORGE will be hosted in what was previously a chemical plant (the former 'Chimica Arenella') and is an open factory designed to collect needs and to generate interventions for urban innovation. The four key terms we have used for the project are urban, game, factory and participation. In fact, FORGE employs a participatory methodological model based on the concept of game, aimed at supporting social and economic development through a platform for participatory co-design. FORGE plays also a …
Solutions of nonlinear PDEs in the sense of averages
2012
Abstract We characterize p-harmonic functions including p = 1 and p = ∞ by using mean value properties extending classical results of Privaloff from the linear case p = 2 to all pʼs. We describe a class of random tug-of-war games whose value functions approach p-harmonic functions as the step goes to zero for the full range 1 p ∞ .
