La città di Francesc Eiximenis. A proposito del «Dotzè del Crestià», I, 1
2007
The work «Lo Crestià» by Eiximenis is an encyclopaedic project that develops, among many other subjects, the political worries of his author. The Dotzè is the place where the ideas about the ideal society, a society that takes form in the space of the city, are related. Which exactly the image of the ideal city is and with which sources Eiximenis works, is the central subject of this article. Some of these sources have been fully studied, one of them being, for example, the relationship between the Dotzè with the Politics by Aristotle. This is one of the aspects that places the book within Aristotle’s trend of modernization of political language, a reference point that surpasses an influenc…
Croce lector de Oriani
2015
En la lectura que hace Croce de Oriani es posible individualizar el recorrido que lleva al filósofo de Pescasseroli a tratar la primacía de la dimensión ético-política. Aparentemente marginal, la confrontación con Oriani resurge en los años cruciales de la elaboración filosófica de Croce y señala puntos teóricos y políticos de notable importancia para la cultura italiana de los primeros decenios del siglo XX. El juicio positivo de la obra de Oriani nace de una común matriz idealista y antipositivsta, además de una muestra del interés crociano por el nacioanlismo y el fascismo. La posterior y mezquina crítica negativa deja, pues, la impresión de querer constituir una tardía autocrítica del f…
Un segmento de la filosofía de Benedetto Croce. La teoría de la actividad política
2015
La lectura analítica de los textos crocianos, mediante el aparato conceptual y el estudio de las fuentes, nos sirve para interpretar la realidad que para el filósofo práctico se define a través de la tensión entre idealidad y realidad. En el ensayo la búsqueda de una teoría modelo se define mediante el paradigma de la ética que entra en contacto con la política. De este modo, 'la teoría de la actividad política' desde descripciones empíricas y desde la abstracción de la política individualiza los atisbos de la realidad concreta que se descubren a través de actos y acciones cuyo fin es el bien común.
Acción y muerte en la Antígona de Hegel
2019
El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer, al hilo de un análisis del texto de la Fenomenologíadel Espíritu que comenta la Antígona de Sófocles, una interpretación del concepto hegeliano de acciónque pone en cuestión la tesis, defendida habitualmente, según la cual Hegel habría pretendido que elconflicto trágico resulta superado por la acción moderna (o el espíritu moderno en general).Ese texto revela que la acción, que comparece ahí como principio absoluto, posee sin embargo unaestructura quebrada y paradójica: necesariamente presupone y niega una instancia en sí, inmediata ysustantiva que, finalmente, oculta la negatividad de la muerte. En la medida en que esa vinculación ala sustancia se d…
A coupled discontinuous Galerkin-Finite Volume framework for solving gas dynamics over embedded geometries
2021
Author(s): Gulizzi, Vincenzo; Almgren, Ann S; Bell, John B | Abstract: We present a computational framework for solving the equations of inviscid gas dynamics using structured grids with embedded geometries. The novelty of the proposed approach is the use of high-order discontinuous Galerkin (dG) schemes and a shock-capturing Finite Volume (FV) scheme coupled via an $hp$ adaptive mesh refinement ($hp$-AMR) strategy that offers high-order accurate resolution of the embedded geometries. The $hp$-AMR strategy is based on a multi-level block-structured domain partition in which each level is represented by block-structured Cartesian grids and the embedded geometry is represented implicitly by a…
Technique for prediction of outcome of election of national leaders.
1968
A technique is presented for evaluating the degree of support a candidate for national public office is likely to have at the polls. The technique involves the use of an adjective check list, Activity Vector Analysis (AVA), for which forms are available in French, Spanish, German, and Italian. Data are presented and discussed relative to a study made by the authors using this technique of public-image analysis just prior to the 1964 presidential elections in the United States. The data are based on the personality profiles of Johnson and Goldwater obtained from the public images held of these two candidates by 672 adults drawn from a population of voters representing a wide geographical di…
What is individual in individualised instruction? Five storylines of meeting individual needs at school
2015
Abstract The purpose of this narrative case study was to examine the meanings and practices of individualised instruction narrated by two seventh-grade Finnish pupils with mild learning difficulties, their mothers, their special education teacher and researchers. The data comprise narrative interviews and field notes. The analysis showed that the narrators had various, even conflicting, experiences of individualisation, which was narrated through five storylines: individual needs as difficulties and limitations; individualisation as the ideal principle for inclusive education; individualisation as a bureaucratic procedure; individualised instruction as making room for emotions, and individu…
Molecular endoscopic imaging: the future is bright
2019
The prediction and final survival rate of gastrointestinal cancers are dependent on the stage of disease. The ideal would be to detect those gastrointestinal lesions at early stage or even premalignant forms which are difficult to detect by conventional endoscopy with white light optical imaging as they show minimum or no changes in morphological characteristics and are thus left untreated. The introduction of molecular imaging has greatly changed the pattern for detecting gastrointestinal lesions from purely macroscopic structural imaging to the molecular level. It allows microscopic examination of the gastrointestinal mucosa with endoscopy after the topical or systemic application of mol…
A paradigm shift: from disease to health orientation
2006
The history of science has been described as 'paradigm shifts' of sequential overthrow, each new paradigm replacing the previous one. A paradigm is an overarching view-point which guides the articulation of theories and other activities in a particular field. In the exploration of health, two different types of approach can be identified. The pathogenic view, which has dominated the orientation of medicine over the last hundred years, focuses on disease states and underlying factors that modify the chances of entering into one of those states. The competing salutogenic view appears to be undergoing a renaissance in the new strategies of public health and health promotion, and producing theo…
Joint local quantization and linear cooperation in spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks
2014
—In designing cognitive radio networks (CRNs), protecting the license holders from harmful interference while maintaining acceptable quality-of-service (QoS) levels for the secondary users is a challenge effectively mitigated by cooperative spectrum sensing schemes. In this paper, cooperative spectrum sensing in CRNs is studied as a three-phase process composed of local sensing, reporting, and decision/data fusion. Then, a significant tradeoff in designing the reporting phase, i.e., the effect of the number of bits used in local sensing quantization on the overall sensing performance is identified and formulated. In addition, a novel approach is proposed to jointly optimize the linear soft-…
