Formalized classification of ephemeral wetland vegetation (Isoëto-Nanojuncetea class) in Poland (Central Europe)

2021

Formalized classification of the class Isoëto-Nanojuncetea has not been performed in Poland. We used 69,562 relevés stored in Polish Vegetation Database. Based on the literature and expert knowledge we selected 63 diagnostic species for the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea class. Unequivocal classification was applied in this work according to Cocktail method. A set of formal definitions was established using a combination of logical operators of total cover of species in case of high-rank syntaxa while sociological species groups and cover of particular species were used for logical formulas describing class, alliances and associations. An Expert System was prepared and applied to classify the whole da…

A Guide to Designing a Memory fMRI Paradigm for Pre-surgical Evaluation in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

2020

There has been increasing interest in the clinical and experimental use of memory functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The 2017 American Academy of Neurology practice guidelines on the use of pre-surgical cognitive fMRI suggests that verbal memory fMRI could be used to lateralize memory functions in people with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) and should be used to predict post-operative verbal memory outcome. There are however technical and methodological considerations, to optimize both the sensitivity and specificity of this imaging modality. Below we discuss these constraints and suggest recommendations to consider when designing a memory fMRI paradigm.

The Role of the Cerebellum in Social and Non-Social Action Sequences: A Preliminary LF-rTMS Study

2021

An increasing number of studies demonstrated the involvement of the cerebellum in (social) sequence processing. The current preliminary study is the first to investigate the causal involvement of the cerebellum in sequence generation, using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS). By targeting the posterior cerebellum, we hypothesized that the induced neuro-excitability modulation would lead to altered performance on a Picture and Story sequencing task, which involve the generation of the correct chronological order of various social and non-social stories depicted in cartoons or sentences. Our results indicate that participants receiving LF-rTMS over the cerebe…

Manner of motion verbs in Latin

2011

In this talk I present the theoretical premises, methodology, corpus, and preliminary results of an ongoing research carried on with Egle Mocciaro (University of Palermo) and Claudio Iacobini (University of Salerno) on the encoding of motion expression in Latin. Some data concerning manner of motion expression in Classical Latin are presented and commented. o Main aim: • to make a first approach towards the manner-of-motion encoding strategies in Latin o Outline: 1. Overview of the main proposals about the typology of motion event encoding • Talmy’s classification of motion event lexicalization patterns • Definitions of the manner component in motion encoding • Connection between manner sal…

Grammaire et méthodes de fle : enquêtes sur les constructions infinitives de perception

2022

Through our observations of classroom practices, as didacticians and linguists, we notę that infinitive constructions govemed by a verb of perception (1CP) are only extremely rarely included in French as a Foreign Language teaching programmes. Yet, the perception of reality through the senses is one of the sociolinguistic objectives. In this case, unless we are inattentive, this is a notable gap in didactics that should be filled. We would propose to elucidate the specificities of the French ICP from a semantic-logical and cognitive perspectives.

Zur Trennung von Unrecht und Schuld im Strafrecht: Sinn und Grenzen in der italienischen Strafrechtswissenschaft

2022

Il lavoro esamina la tenuta della distinzione fra illecito e colpevolezza nel sistema penale italiano, alla luce di un confronto critico con la teoria delle norme che ne viene talvolta indicata come presupposto necessario. Der Beitrag untersucht die Unterscheidung zwischen Unrecht und Schuld im italienischen Strafrechtssystem im Lichte eines kritischen Vergleichs mit der Theorie der Normen, die manchmal als notwendige Voraussetzung dafür angegeben wird.

Volume change characteristics of fine-grained soils due to sequential thermo-mechanical stresses

2019

Know-how of volume change characteristics, VCC, of the fine-grained soils, exposed to thermal stresses, is essential for design of various thermo-active structures. These stresses are known to induce excess pore-water pressure, Δu θ , in the saturated state of such soils, which in turn affects their compression and shear strength characteristics. In this context, through several experimental studies, the effect of thermo-mechanical stress-path, the over-consolidation ratio (OCR) and degree of saturation on VCC (viz., thermally induced volumetric strain, ε vθ , compression and re-compression indices, c c and c r ) of the fine-grained soils has been demonstrated by earlier researchers. Howeve…
