Moorish silver work with wire (sixteenth century)
2020
El artículo trata de veinte exámenes de maestro de "obra de hilo" valencianos que se conservan, de fechas 1508-1538. Consideradas trabajos menores dentro del capítulo de la platería, son joyas caracterizadas por su decoración de alambre superpuesto. Una peculiaridad de estos exámenes es que las piezas no se dibujaron, sino que se estamparon tras ennegrecerlas, por lo que se conserva su impronta a tamaño real, además de la fecha de realización y el nombre de sus autores. Son plateros de biografías conocidas, todos cristianos, muchos de ellos con obradores en El Tossal de Valencia, junto a la morería. Seis placas cuadradas llevan una banda epigráfica con letras árabes, lo que explica que esta…
Problemi di giurisdizione nel contrasto al traffico di migranti via mare
2018
I trafficanti di esseri umani si avvalgono con sempre più insistenza di ben collaudati protocolli operativi. Questi ultimi consentono loro di sottrarsi alla giurisdizione penale italiana che non si radica qualora – in ossequio ai criteri di cui all’art. 6 c.p.ed in conformità alla Convenzione sull’Alto Mare– l’azione illecita avvenga in acque internazionali.Così, premesse alcune linee concettuali sui limiti spaziali alla efficacia della legge penale, l’indagine si sofferma sulla soluzione ermeneutica offerta dallaCassazione che, apparentemente in modo sbrigativo e per esigenze di effettività della risposta punitiva, ha fatto ricorso alla controversa figura dell’autore mediato per sanzionare condott…
Literacy skills seem to fuel literacy enjoyment, rather than vice versa
2023
Children who like to read and write tend to be better at it. This association is typically interpreted as enjoyment impacting engagement in literacy activities, which boosts literacy skills. We fitted direction-of-causation models to partial data of 3690 Finnish twins aged 12. Literacy skills were rated by the twins' teachers and literacy enjoyment by the twins themselves. A bivariate twin model showed substantial genetic influences on literacy skills (70%) and literacy enjoyment (35%). In both skills and enjoyment, shared-environmental influences explained about 20% in each. The best-fitting direction-of-causation model showed that skills impacted enjoyment, while the influence in the othe…
Corpus Stylistics and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: (De-)constructing the Spirit of the Soul
2019
Corpus Stylistics is an emerging field in the discipline of Linguistics which has become increasingly popular during the last decades: applying corpus methods and techniques to the stylistic analysis of literary texts seems to be a successful way of making linguistic evidence, style ornamentations, aesthetic choices, manners of expressions or deviations from language norms, more visible to the eyes of the traditional literary critic or, simply, the reader. Reading A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man by James Joyce becomes challenging again if we find new lexical, grammatical patterns and structural features that serve as evidence for our critical hypotheses. Easily and rapidly processed…

Il legittimo affidamento nel bilanciamento della Corte costituzionale e della Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo in materia di retroattività legisla…
2018
The chapter examines the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence on legislative retroactivity, which is compared to the jurisprudential direction of the European Court of Human Rights. In particular, it is concerned with assessing the compatibility of retroactive laws to the so-called right to peaceful enjoyment of property, referred to in the European Convention on Human Rights.
Perceived physical competence towards physical activity, and motivation and enjoyment in physical education as longitudinal predictors of adolescents…
2015
Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate if adolescents' perceived physical competence towards physical activity (PA), and autonomous motivation and enjoyment in physical education (PE) during early adolescence can predict amount and intensity of self-reported physical activity six years later. Design This study utilized a 6-year longitudinal data set collected within Finnish school settings. Students responded to questionnaires measuring their perceived physical competence towards physical activity, and autonomous motivation and enjoyment in PE during their first year at middle school (Grade 7), and their PA engagement during their last year in high school (Grade 12). Me…
Associations among Basic Psychological Needs, Motivation and Enjoyment within Finnish Physical Education Students
2018
The purpose of this study was to analyse the associations between basic psychological needs, motivational regulations and enjoyment within Finnish physical education (PE) students. The participants of the study were 260 Grade 5 students (Mage=11.86, SD=0.28) and 242 Grade 8 students (Mage=14.93, SD=0.37) who completed a questionnaire prior to their regular PE classes. This cross-sectional study incorporated a multigroup structural equation modelling (SEM, path model) separately for Grade 5 and 8 students, using gender as a grouping value. Results indicated that among Grade 5 students autonomy was directly associated with enjoyment. In addition, there was an indirect path from autonomy to en…
Can loss of sensory attenuation be accurately demonstrated using two effectors simultaneously?
2015
Sir, Recently, Parees and colleagues (2014) compared patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders and healthy subjects who were asked to match a force delivered to their left finger by pressing on it directly, or by operating a joystick to press down on it, with the other hand. They observed that healthy subjects generated more force than required when pressing directly on their finger (compared with using the joystick), whereas patients did not. They interpreted and discussed this result as a loss of sensory attenuation that typically occurs in healthy subjects during self-generated movements and suggested by return, that it illustrates an altered sense of agency for the patie…
