Girls4STEM: Gender Diversity in STEM for a Sustainable Future

2020

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are key disciplines towards tackling the challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals. However, evidence shows that women are enrolling in these disciplines in a smaller percentage than men, especially in Engineering related fields. As stated by the United Nations Women section, increasing the number of women studying and working in STEM fields is fundamental towards achieving better solutions to the global challenges, since the potential for innovation is larger. In this paper, we present the Girls4STEM project, which started in 2019 at the Escola T&egrave

The embodied self, the pattern theory of self, and the predictive mind

2018

Do we have to presuppose a self to account for human self-consciousness? If so, how should we characterize the self? These questions are discussed in the context of two alternatives, i.e., the no-self position held by \(\textit {Metzinger (2003, 2009)}\) and the claim that the only self we have to presuppose is a narrative self \(\textit {(Dennett, 1992; Schechtman, 2007; Hardcastle, 2008)}\) which is primarily an abstract entity. In contrast to these theories, I argue that we have to presuppose an embodied self, although this is not a metaphysical substance, nor an entity for which stable necessary and jointly sufficient conditions can be given. Self-consciousness results from an integrati…

Storia di Montalbano

2018

Questo libro raccoglie gli scritti che Gianfranco Marrone ha dedicato alla figura del commissario di polizia Salvo Montalbano: personaggio a tutto tondo di intramontabile successo, e modello di riferimento per numerosissimi avatar letterari, televisivi, mediatici. Tali scritti mettono alla prova i modelli d’analisi della semiotica su un ampio spettro ampio di opere e testi in costante dialogo fra loro (romanzi, film, fumetti, pietanze, itinerari turistici…), studiandoli ai loro diversi livelli e dimensioni del senso. Una ricostruzione al tempo stesso puntigliosa e profonda di un universo sociale e antropologico, geografico e ideologico – quello camilleriano e montalbanesco – che fatica a po…

Data from: Sex-specific effects of natural and sexual selection on the evolution of life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans

2015

1. Variation in the strength of age-dependent natural selection shapes differences in ageing rates across species and populations. Likewise, sexual selection can promote divergent patterns of senescence across the sexes. However, the effects of these processes on the evolution of ageing have largely been considered independently, and interactions between them are poorly understood. 2. We use experimental evolution to investigate how natural and sexual selection affect life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans. 3. Replicate populations were evolved under lifetime monogamy (relaxed sexual selection) or lifetime polyandry (elevated sexual selection) and at one of two temperatures, 25 °C (rel…

Com los castells de nostra religió no sien per a sostenir hòmens bandolés ni metre en mal e bandositat los vassalls nostres e de nostra religió. Guer…

Fins fa pocs anys, la historiografia havia analitzat la conflictivitat al món rural des del punt de vista de la lluita de classes. En aquest discurs només s’atenien els enfrontaments entre senyors i camperols, especialment els esclats violents que caracteritzen el segle XIV. Ara bé, els últims estudis han de posat de manifest l’existència de profundes divisions internes en les comunitats rurals i la presència d’una conflictivitat latent no solament entre senyors i llauradors, sinó també entre els mateixos pagesos. A banda dels enfrontaments individuals, com ocorre a les ciutats de la Mediterrània Occidental, a les comunitats rurals del Maestrat s’articulen bàndols encapçalats pels pagesos m…

Inny/obcy: doświadczenie języka i rzeczywistości (literacko-kulturowa ponowoczesność)

2017

The subject matter is developed around the Other, their presence and their personalising in the literary-cultural space. The reality becomes the source of observation (fiction and non-fiction) and reveals not only a variety of human experience in the world of multiculturalism, but also forms of “branding” the Other (rhetoric of the dominant communities towards cultural minorities) which correspond to them. The analysis of the rhetoric of speech and image permits to reveal the good and the bad side of language-cultural stereotypes, including also attitudes and behaviours affected by ideology.

Developmental pathways of language development : a longitudinal predictive study from prelinguistic stage to outcome at school entry

2017

This research focused on the pathways of development during the prelinguistic stage and from prelinguistic development to later language ability. The first goal was to follow and describe the development of several prelinguistic communication skills during the first two years of life (Studies I and II). The second goal was to examine the predictive relations between this development and language ability and difficulties, as well as memory, up to school age (Studies I, II, and III). The third goal evaluated the feasibility of parental screening in identifying children at risk for language and communication difficulties (Studies I, II, and III). Prelinguistic skills were followed with a paren…

The Impact of Adolescent Internet Addiction on Sexual Online Victimization: The Mediating Effects of Sexting and Body Self-Esteem

2021

Adolescents’ problematic use of the internet and the risk of sexual online victimization are an increasing concern among families, researchers, professionals and society. This study aimed to analyze the interplay between adolescents’ addiction to social networks and internet, body self-esteem and sexual–erotic risk behavior online: sexting, sextortion and grooming. While sexting refers to the voluntary engagement in texting sexual–erotic messages, sextortion and grooming are means of sexual–erotic victimization through the use of the internet. Participants were 1763 adolescents (51% girls), aged 12 to 16 years (M = 14.56
