"Non è in crisi il romanzo borghese": una polemica degli anni Sessanta
2018
26 marzo 1965: su «Paese Sera-Libri» esce la trascrizione, mai più riedita, di una delle svariate tavole rotonde organizzate dal giornale in quegli anni, intitolata Requiem per il romanzo?: a cui hanno partecipato Alberto Arbasino, Francesco Leonetti, Alberto Moravia, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Edoardo Sanguineti, e, in veste di coordinatore, Armando Vitelli (fondatore e curatore del supplemento, con Piero Dallamano). La ripubblichiamo qui, insieme ad altri due pezzi di poco successivi, rispettivamente di Italo Calvino e di Vitelli stesso, che come vedremo le si agganciano.
Leptin and Its Receptor are Overexpressed in Brain Tumors and Correlate with the Degree of Malignancy
2009
Although leptin and its receptor (ObR) have emerged as important cancer biomarkers, the role of the leptin system in brain tumor development remains unknown. We screened 87 human brain tumor biopsies using immunohistochemistry and detected leptin and ObR in 55.2% and 60.9% cases, respectively. In contrast, leptin and ObR were absent in 14 samples of normal brain tissue. The presence of leptin correlated with ObR with overall concordance 80.5%. The leptin/ObR system was highly expressed in glioblastomas and anaplastic astrocytomas, while lower expression of both markers was noted in low-grade astrocytomas and gangliogliomas. The association between leptin/ObR and the degree of tumor malignan…
Observation of novel oxygen⋯oxygen interaction in supramolecular assembly of cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes: a combined experimental and computati…
2015
Two mononuclear cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes with azide [Co(L)(N3)(L0 )] (1) and [Co(L)(N3)(L00)] (2) {where HL ¼ 1-((2-(diethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)naphthalene-2-ol, HL0 ¼ 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and HL00 ¼ acetylacetone} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Both complexes show mononuclear structures with azide as terminal coligand. Structural features have been examined in detail that reveal the formation of interesting supramolecular networks generated through non-covalent forces including hydrogen bonding, C–H/H–C and C–H/p interactions. These interactions have been studied ener…
On the Relationship Between Contemporary Novel-Essay and Science-Fiction
2022
The article inquires upon a possible connection (both formal and thematical) between the literary genre of science-fiction and the form of the novel-essay. Both of them trace their roots back to the late 19th century culture and share a philosophical ambition to interpret the world through narrative philosophy, albeit in opposed ways. After sketching a brief history of the two forms (also underlining their crossroads and similarities), the essay concludes with a parallel reading of two novels by David Foster Wallace and Michel Houellebecq in late 20th century. An open question upon the future paths of a "science-fictional" novel-essay is placed at the end.
"There Is No Book, No Matter How Bad It Is, That Does Not Have Something Good in It": The Circulation of the Novels by Sebastiano Erizzo and Niccolò …
2019
This paper provides a first consideration of the dissemination and impact of the novels by Sebastiano Erizzo and Niccolò Granucci in the Spanish Golden Age, focusing on two of their main works, Le sei giornate (1567) and La piacevol notte et lieto giorno (1574), respectively. The characteristics of the identified copies, some coincidences with texts by Lope and Cervantes, and the information collected on the circulation of these two works, whose focus on morality may have favoured their dissemination, lead to the suggestion that their novels had a certain influence on Spanish literature. These circumstances should encourage Hispanists to turn their eyes towards the novels of Niccolò Granucc…
La educación de la mujer en el franquismo y su evolución en Valencia (1951-1970)
1993
El nacional-catolicismo cuenta entre sus principios ideológicos con la separación estricta de la sociedad en razón del género. Este constructo atraviesa y determina toda la organización social y, como parte de ella, el aparato educativo. Existirán dos maneras de educar a los ciudadanos según se trate de hombres o mujeres. Se trata de realizar un seguimiento y análisis de la evolución de la educación de las mujeres durante el franquismo en la etapa histórica del predesarrollismo y el desarrollismo que comprende la que como colectivo recibieron (educación de las mujeres) y la destinada a modelarlas según unos estereotipos determinados (educación como mujeres). Cabe destacar que no existe un ú…
Determining your own grade – Student perceptions on self-assessment in a large mathematics course
2018
International audience; In our poster, we report on students' perceptions on self-assessment in large undergraduate course context taught with the DISA model (Digital Self-Assessment) in which the final exam is replaced by self-assessment. The students found that practising self-assessment skills was valuable and encouraged them to study for themselves. At the same time, self-assessment was considered unfamiliar and therefore difficult. We argue that the DISA model encouraged students to take more responsibility on their own learning.
Physicians' appraisal of mobile health monitoring
2013
This study addresses what factors influence and moderate Japanese physicians' mobile health monitoring (MHM) adoption for diabetic patients. In light of the multilevel sequential check theory, the study tests whether novelty seeking, self-efficacy, and compatibility moderate the effects of overall quality, net benefits, and perceived value of MHM on physicians' usage intention. Self-efficacy serves as an evaluation of resources for coping with an event, while compatibility involves the judgment of an event's congruence with a motive or goal. The study results support four out of nine moderation hypotheses. Our findings clearly indicate that the impact of overall quality and net benefits on …
Memorable tourist experiences versus ordinary tourist experiences analysed through user-generated content
2020
Abstract This study aims to test some previously proposed MTE (memorable tourist experience) scales by using UGC (user-generated content) posted in social media sites, through script theory and thematic analysis. In addition, MTEs and OTEs (ordinary tourist experiences) are compared to identify any significant differences between their dimensions. The results suggest that some dimensions of the MTE scale (hedonism, novelty, meaningfulness, involvement, knowledge and serendipity) are significantly more frequently reported in MTEs than in OTEs, but are not exclusive to MTEs. Despite this, the MTE scale dimensions are able with some accuracy to classify tourist experiences as MTEs or OTEs. Thu…
Le Novelle di Gentile Sermini.
2009
Il libro è dedicato all'originale lavoro di Gentile Sermini, allla fisionomia letteraria del narratore senese che ha svolto un ruolo importante nell'evoluzione del genere letterario della novella, fra Tre e Quattrocento. Il testo presenta una dettagliata analisi delle Novelle, mettendo in evidenza l'ideazione innovativa di un corpus novellistico governato da un unico soggetto narrante, la mescolanza di linguaggi, letterari e popolari,la retorica del lusus. Elemento di spicco della scrittura serminiana risulta essere l'irriverenza stilistica, da cui discendono smaliziati impasti di forme umanistiche ed elementi di comico burlesco, giochi formali e tematici ( scambi di ruolo, travestimenti, m…
