L'edizione critica digitale. La critica del testo nella storia della tradizione
2019
The traditional output of philological work aiming at the constitutio textus is the print critical edition with apparatus footnotes showing select variant readings. The digital scholarly edition, instead, is not constrained by the space limits of the printed page, so it can encode and visualize synoptically many versions of a text, as found in different textual witnesses. This opportunity has often been exploited by New Philology editions, in which textual versions are juxtaposed without any attempt to reconstruct an "original" text. However, the digital critical edition can constitute a "third way" between constitutio textus and New Philology: the digital editor can provide different versi…
Hypnosis, Animal Magnetism, and Monstrosity in late Nineteenth Century English Literature
2019
We will explore the literary image of animal magnetism and hypnosis through the analysis of two works of fiction: the novels Richard Marsh’s The Beetle: A Mystery (1897) and Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897). During all the 19th century and mainly at its last, many authors used animal magnetism and hypnosis in their fictional creations in an environmental or plot way, so much that Arthur Quiller-Couch, an important literary critic of the nineteenth century, spoke about the emergence of a new literary subgenre that he called “hypnotic fiction”. Starting from the idea that in this mesmeric and hypnotic fiction literature you can clearly trace differentiated stereotypes of magnetizers and hypnotist…
Motivating Individuals With Disabilities to Be Physically Active
2002
The benefits of exercise andlor physical activity among individuals with disabilities have been well documented. However, very few people with disabilities are active. In this paper, a series of contemporary theoretical models will be presented to facilitate the identification of strategies to increase individuals with disabilities' opportunities and motivation toward physical activitylexercise. These models can be empirically tested by researchers, and practitioners can be guided by the hypothesized relationships to determine optimal strategies for motivating physical activity participation. This blend of theory, research, and practice in adapted physical activity scholarship may result in…
El secano mejorado y la agricultura aterrazada. Paisajes significativos con un gran valor socio-ambiental y didáctico
2019
En los últimos veinte años, en las denominadas sociedades postproductivistas se ha producido un redescubrimiento del paisaje asociado a su identificación como un elemento identitario y de calidad. En la provincia de Alicante, representativos resultan el denominado secano mejorado (aprovechamiento de turbias) característico de la comarca de l’Alacantí y los paisajes aterrazados (Montaña de Alicante). Los objetivos de esta investigación son: 1) Analizar la ordenación tradicional de los paisajes derivados del uso de turbias y los aterrazados; 2) Analizar las estrategias de adaptación al medio y cómo el proceso de abandono ha repercutido ambientalmente en el área de estudio; 3) Poner de manifie…

Doctoral Education and Doctoral Theses — Changing Assessment Practices
2008
Most European countries are today highly interested in the quality of doctoral education. Undoubtedly, the Bologna Process has also given impetus to a reassessment of national doctoral education systems. There is a need to find comparable indicators measuring the efficiency and quality of doctoral education systems and educational practices alike. At the centre of the doctoral education agenda are not only national research funding systems, research training and doctoral programmes but also issues involving international collaboration and mobility (Enders and de Weert 2004; Tomusk 2006). It is widely accepted that doctoral candidates and doctoral theses make a major contribution to the crea…
A Taxonomy as a Vehicle for Learning
2009
In this article, we describe the development of a classification system providing a framework for analysis of, and communication about, a subgroup of learning objects. The objects we consider are highly visual, animated, interactive, and mathematics-related, and we call them VaniMaps. Secondly, we discuss the use of the system. In the first phase, the development was based on literature studies and discussions on examples of VaniMaps. In the second phase, the classification system was tested by students and their responses were analyzed to identify possible improvements. Now, the system is developed further based on experience gained while using it for different purposes. We see several pos…
