LGB´s Arts Affinity: An Empirical Study of Theater Audiences Based on Motivations

2021

The extended belief of gay people being more creative and showing higher interest toward arts lacks robust empirical support. The pioneer study on this issue highlighted that LGB´s arts participation was mostly explained by demographic factors such as level of studies, residence and family situation, which suggests that differences due to sexual orientation tend to fade. In this paper, we put forward the hypothesis that sexual orientation influences motivations to participate, which emphasizes their role and heterogeneity. To do so, we conducted a survey on participants at an alternative performing arts festival collecting information on socio-demographics, including sexual orientation, mot…

The Boundless World of Cranioplasty: A Multicenter Retrospective Study and Therapeutic Flow-Chart Patient-Specific Based.

2021

Background Cranioplasty is both a functional and aesthetical therapeutic option. In the clinical scenario every cranioplasty's material is potentially qualified to achieve the goal of calvarian reconstruction but there is a lack of agreement about the optimum choice, especially between the heterologous ones. The choice of cranioplasty widely depends on surgeon's personal preferences. In this retrospective multicentric study a comparative analysis of hydroxyapatite or titanium cranioplasties was carried on analyzing the main factors considered by the surgeon to choose a material rather than another one. Our results and data were compared with those reported in the scientific literature and a…

Museums as disseminators of niche knowledge: Universality in accessibility for all

2019

Accessibility has faced several challenges within audiovisual translation Studies and gained great opportunities for its establishment as a methodologically and theoretically well-founded discipline. Initially conceived as a set of services and practices that provides access to audiovisual media content for persons with sensory impairment, today accessibility can be viewed as a concept involving more and more universality thanks to its contribution to the dissemination of audiovisual products on the topic of marginalisation. Against this theoretical backdrop, accessibility is scrutinised from the perspective of aesthetics of migration and minorities within the field of the visual arts in mu…

Mental health of medical students belonging to sexual minorities: A focus on help-seeking behavior in an Italian multicenter survey

2021

Tracce dell’arcaico locativo nell’opera di Luca Matranga

2021

L’opera di Luca Matranga “E mbsuame e Krështerë” (1592), che dal punto di vista cronologico è, secondo monumento in albanese (dopo il “Messale” di Buzuku del 1555) e la prima testimonianza in dialetto tosco, fin dalla sua scoperta agli inizi del secolo scorso ha costituito una preziosa fonte di dati per i linguisti e gli studiosi della storia della lingua albanese. Pervenutaci in ben tre versioni manoscritte e una a stampa, la traduzione di Matranga ha vissuto una storia tanto travagliata quanto affascinante, soprattutto dal punto di vista della critica del testo e del trattamento strettamente filologico. L’opera ha conosciuto, infatti, ben quattro edizioni critiche parziali prima dell’ediz…

Mniejszość Niemiecka w prasie regionalnej w sytuacji konfliktu. Framing i agenda medialna w ramach sporu o „Duże Opole”

2017

Jednym ze wskaźników kondycji państwa demokratycznego jest jego stosunek do mniejszości narodowych. Istotny jest nie tylko wymiar formalny tych relacji, ale także funkcjonowanie sfery publicznej. Kluczowa będzie zatem zdolność do efektywnego negocjowania i deliberacji nad kwestiami ważnymi dla społeczności i budzącymi duże emocje. Naturalną przestrzeń dla takiej debaty stwarzają media, które ukazują przedmiot sporu i stanowiska stron. Będąc również uczestnikiem debaty, media pozycjonują strony i wpływają na postawy społeczne wobec dyskutowanych kwestii. Celem badań, których wyniki są prezentowane w niniejszym artykule była analiza medialnego pozycjonowania mniejszości niemieckiej (MN) w ram…
