Brancati su Pirandello e il pirandellismo
2019
Nel romanzo breve "Sogno di un valzer" uscito a puntate su “Quadrivio”, dal 5 giugno al 14 agosto 1938, Vitaliano Brancati mette in scena, tra osservazione dei luoghi e rilevamento di costume, un’umanità fuori misura, continuamente in bilico tra realtà e sogno. A Caltanissetta (Nissa) la città nel cui Istituto magistrale lo scrittore, voltate le spalle alla Roma fascista, è venuto a insegnare, personaggi non appariscenti, insignificanti, che tuttavia covano desideri, si arrovellano in domande metafisiche. Prende così forma il leitmotiv delle critica al pirandellismo che più volte con ironia sottile affiora negli scritti brancatiani. Il saggio mostra come esso si intrecci con la comicità sul…
Isoindolo[2,1-c]benzo[1,2,4]triazines: a new ring system with antiproliferative activity.
2006
Abstract A series of isoindolo-benzo-triazines of type 4 was obtained by diazotization of 2-(2-aminoaryl)-1-cyanoisoindoles 3a – j . All the synthesized derivatives were screened by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, USA), for in vitro antitumor activity against a 3-human cancer cell line panel consisting of MCF7 (breast), NCI-H460 (lung), and SF-268 (CNS). Derivatives 4a , f , i , j were selected to be evaluated in the full panel of about 50 human tumor cell lines derived from nine human cancer cell types and showed antiproliferative activity generally in the micromolar range. The most sensitive cell lines were: MOLT-4 and SR of the leukemia subpanel, A549/ATCC and EKVX of the n…
Hysteresis Model of Unconscious-Conscious Interconnection: Exploring Dynamics on m-Adic Trees
2015
The theoretical model outlined in this paper, has been experimentally validated by: H. Kim ,J-Y. Moon ,G.A. Mashour & U. Lee, ''Mechanisms of hysteresis in human brain networks during transitions of consciousness and unconsciousness: Theoretical principles and empirical evidence'', PLOS-Computational Biology, August 30, 2018, https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006424; International audience; In this brief note, we focus attention on a possible implementation of a basic hysteretic pattern (the Preisach one), suitably generalized, into a formal model of unconscious-conscious interconnection and based on representation of mental entities by m-adic numbers. …
Organisational Learning and Knowledge Management: A Prospective Analysis Based on the Levels of Consciousness
2018
In this chapter, we analyse the concepts of organizational learning and knowledge management by relating them to the levels of human and organizational consciousness. In doing so, we understand the existence of different conceptualizations of both organizational learning and knowledge management, and relate them to several organizational models and levels of organizational learning. The learning organization model is related to the highest level of consciousness and to the highest level of learning: triple-loop learning. We associate this with an organizational learning perspective that stresses the importance of mindfulness, mindful learning, and with a knowledge management perspective tha…
The need and implications of the human capital management system
2021
In an era where technology and innovation seem to take over every organizational process, differentiation in terms of sustainable economic growth is achieved by implementing a human capital management system. In order to develop a proper model that encompasses a long-term perspective and an infinite organizational mindset, using a survey questionnaire collected data from 118 responses and 3 focus groups were conducted. This paper aims to highlight the results regarding the degree of implementation of the human capital management system and the implications for organizational performance arising from this approach. The results of this study present an evaluation model of human capital in org…

A Note on Palaeolithic Soundscapes. Further Thoughts on the LMT (Landscape Mind Theory)
2010
Homo sapiens sapies' mind possesses a cognitive module specifically for landscape that spatially organizes perceptions, representations and individual and collective knowledge. This module also acts in the conceptual and symbolic organization of sounds.
From a bodily-based format of knowledge to symbols. The evolution of human language
2013
Although ontogeny cannot recapitulate phylogeny, a two-level model of the acquisition of language will be here proposed and its implication for the evolution of the faculty of language will be discussed. It is here proposed that the identification of the cognitive requirements of language during ontogeny could help us in the task of identifying the phylogenetic achievements that concurred, at some point, to the acquisition of language during phylogeny. In this model speaking will be considered as a complex ability that arises in two different steps. The first step of competence widely relies on a bodily-based format of knowledge. The second step relies on more abstract meta-representations …
Wrong Hand, Wrong Children? The Education of Left-Handed Children in Soviet Latvia
2019
Left-handers have always been surrounded by stigma and controversy, and attitudes toward this group have always been rooted in the ideas and traditions of power relations existing in a given society. Thus, the goal of this study is to describe the retraining of left-handers as it was conducted in Soviet education. The impact of political power on an individual’s body-mind interaction is a significant problem in research on the creation of the “New Soviet Man.” The teaching of left-handed children in the Soviet Union is a noteworthy example of the totalitarian regime’s illusionary endeavors to change human nature. The Soviet education envisaged neither a special attitude nor any particular p…
On Negation. What do we need to “say no”?
2011
By looking at first-language learning, we can see three broad categories in the acquisition of negation (see DIMROTH 2010 for a review):1) rejection/refusal; 2) disappearance/ non-existence/unfulfilled expectation; 3) denial. Denial is the most complex form of negation and the last to be acquired. I present the hypothesis that denial relies on false belief understanding. Evidence from normally developed and from Autistic subjects confirms this hypothesis. Competence in linguistic denial is usually acquired by the age of 2 years and a half and 3 years. According to this hypothesis, the attribution of false belief understanding could be lowered to the age of about 2 and a half years. Hence, p…
