Solai ad orditura metallica. Per una storia della costruzione
2016
Sommario: Il saggio approfondisce gli aspetti storici e costruttivi dei solai ad orditura metallica dalla fine del XVIII secolo all’ultima guerra. Dopo una parte generale in cui vengono delineate le motivazioni e le fasi iniziali dell’uso dei materiali ferrosi in edilizia, si traccia ed analizza una serie di linee evolutive della trave metallica, fino al raggiungimento della sezione a doppio T che, a pieno titolo, si considera il punto di arrivo della ricerca sulla forma più conveniente per evidenti motivi di efficienza statica, pur coi successivi affinamenti nella produzione, nel calcolo e nella messa in opera. Si è ipotizzata l’evoluzione attraverso le strade della combinazione legno-ferr…
The Strategic Cognition View of Issue Salience and the Evolution of a Political Issue : Landis & Gyr, the Hungarian Uprising and East-West Trade, 195…
2017
Why do firms facing similar stakeholder issues respond quite differently? The recently introduced strategic cognition view of issue salience and firm responsiveness (hereinafter: issue salience model) seeks to tackle this core question of stakeholder theory. I extend the nascent theorizing with a historical case study in order to rethink the model’s firm-centric perspective. The firm under examination in this historical case study is the Swiss multinational Landis & Gyr (LG) during the Cold War period. Like many other Swiss exportoriented companies in the 1950s and early 1960s, LG was challenged by Swiss pressure groups, which were highly effective at putting an issue on the public agenda: …
August Karl Heylman's thoughts on the legal science
2020
August Heylman is one of the forgotten lawyers of the Kingdom of Poland in the 19th century. He was a practician, holding high positions in the then administration and judiciary of the Kingdom. At the same time he occupied himself with scholarly activity. He was one of the main advocates of the historical school of law in the Polish legal science in the 19th century as well as a co-creator of one of the best-known Polish scientific journals edited under the title Themis Polska.
Ekspansja ludyczności w kulturze współczesnej
2020
The process of the carnivalization of urban space is aided by contemporary media, which, in popularizing myriad events, amplifies community activities ranging from festivals to mass public shows connected with historical events. Contemporary fascination with such phenomena finds its sources in ritualized models of para- theatrical activity rooted in the traditions of peasant culture, as well as in forms of mass folk protest. As a result, we can observe the rapidly-developing ability of city-dwellers to occupy public space while creating emotional communities that extend into virtual, and other, realms, with the aim of realizing political goals.
I giardini storici di Bagheria fra abbandono, complice distruzione e valorizzazione
2021
Il saggio indaga il patrimonio delle ville e dei giardini storici, sistemati con parterre, viali, sculture, padiglioni, fontane e ricca flora e in alcuni casi anche fauna esotica, realizzati, dalla seconda metà del Seicento, a Bagheria, vicino Palermo. Sono anche presentati i processi di trasformazione, abbandono e distruzione (seconda metà del sec. XX), valutando le nuove politiche d’intervento basate sulla necessità di un censimento dei giardini e dei parchi storici superstiti, attivando le basi indispensabili per contribuire all’azione di conoscenza, tutela, manutenzione, restauro e valorizzazione. Per alcuni interventi di restauro già effettuati su giardini storici, come villa Cattolica…
A Historical Analysis of Media Practices and Technologies in Protest Movements : A Review of Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun
2017
Dr. Anne Kaun’s book, <em>Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis</em> (London: Zed Books, 2016, 131 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78360-736-5), is a concise but comprehensive analysis of the changing media practices and technologies in protest movements. The book overviews the topic within the context of major economic crises and scrutinises three richly detailed case studies in the United States: (a) the unemployed workers’ movement during the Great Depression in the 1930s, (b) the tenants’ rent strike movement of the early 1970s, and (c) the Occupy Wall Street movement following the Great Recession of 2008. Kaun begins her book with an introduction t…

Recognition of earthquake-induced damage in the Abakainon necropolis (NE Sicily): results from geo-morphological, geophysical and numerical analyses
2017
Seismotectonic activity and slope instability are a permanent threat in the archaeological site of Abakainon and in the nearby village of Tripi in NE Sicily. In recent times, signs of an ancient earthquake have been identified in the necropolis of Abakainon which dating was ascertained to the first century AD earthquake. The site is located on a slope of Peloritani Mts. along the Tindari Fault Line and contains evidence for earthquake-induced landslide, including fallen columns and blocks, horizontal shift and counter slope tilting of the tomb basements. In this paper, we used an integrated geomorphological and geophysical analysis to constrain the landslide. The research was directed to th…
Lapsuuden löytämisestä toimijuuden tutkimukseen : lapsuuden historian kuusi vuosikymmentä
2022
Luvussa esitellään lapsuuden historiaa tutkimusalana ja tarjotaan välineitä ymmärtää tutkimusalan traditioita, erityispiirteitä ja lähestymistapoja. Luvussa pohditaan, millaisista lähtökohdista tutkimus on versonut 1960-luvulta lähtien, millaisia paradigmamuutoksia alalla on tapahtunut ja millaisia painopistealueita siitä voidaan havaita. Samalla pohdittavaksi asettuu tieteidenvälisen keskustelun merkitys menneisyyden lapsia koskevan tutkimuksen lähestymistapojen ja menetelmien muutokselle. Teksti perustuu aiemman lapsuuden historian tutkimuksen syntetisoivaan luentaan. Huomion kohteena ovat erityisesti tutkimusalaa eri aikoina määrittäneet ja tuloksia yhteen koonneet kokoomateokset, vaikut…
3D modelling of a historical building using close-range photogrammetry and remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS)
2018
Abstract. The photogrammetric survey of architectural Cultural Heritage is a very useful and standard process in order to obtain accurate 3D data for the documentation and visualization of historical buildings. In particular, the integration of terrestrial close-range photogrammetry and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs) photogrammetry allows to create accurate and reliable 3D models of buildings and to monitor their state of conservation. The use of RPASs has indeed become more popular in Cultural Heritage survey to measure and detect areas that cannot normally be covered using terrestrial photogrammetry or terrestrial laser scanner. The paper presents the results of a photogrammetr…
