Una fonte dalle molteplici valenze e chiavi di lettura: il testamento nel tardo Medioevo siciliano

2019

Attraverso l’esame di testamenti editi e inediti dell’aristocrazia siciliana, il saggio si propone di illustrare le diverse chiavi di lettura offerte da questa tipologia di fonte che permette di ricostruire elementi biografici, rapporti familiari, religiosità personale, aspetti economici, sociali e geografici. Verranno messe in luce le principali caratteristiche e le costanti dei testamenti in modo da fornire gli strumenti per la lettura e lo studio di questo tipo di fonte. Ricchissimo di dati, il testamento, specchio del vissuto e della morte, espressione della finitezza umana, offre speranze di redenzione mediante i legati pro anima e i legati pro malis ablatis incertis, ma, al contempo, …

Temas e interpretaciones del derecho sucesorio italiano

2021

El articulo quiere mostrar que las interpretaciones de las instituciones del derecho de sucesiones que consideran el interés familiar, como expresión del principio de solidaridad (cada vez más en una protección patrimonialista de la legitimidad), siempre prevalente sobre todos los demás intereses, ya no pueden ser compartidas, porque la solidaridad no se distingue del personalismo. Modernizar el derecho de sucesiones no significa tener que abdicar en favor del contrato, sino descubrir el valor de la autonomía privada y el potencial del acto de última voluntad. Es la centralidad de la persona humana y no sólo el principio de solidaridad (más aún si se entiende en un sentido patrimonialista) …

Explicit Oral Narrative Intervention for Students with Williams Syndrome

2018

Narrative skills play a crucial role in organizing experience, facilitating social interaction and building academic discourse and literacy. They are at the interface of cognitive, social, and linguistic abilities related to school engagement. Despite their relative strengths in social and grammatical skills, students with Williams syndrome (WS) do not show parallel cognitive and pragmatic performance in narrative generation tasks. The aim of the present study was to assess retelling of a TV cartoon tale and the effect of an individualized explicit instruction of the narrative structure. Participants included eight students with WS who attended different special education levels. Narratives…

Territorial songs and intraspecific evolution of East Asian Willow Tits (Parus montanus)

1995

Territorial songs of 4 Asian Willow Tit subspecies namelyParus montanus kamtschatkensis, P. m. songarus, P. m. affinis andP. m. stoetzneri and in addition those of a southern outpost ofP. m. baicalensis are dealt with. These far-eastern subspecies use song types of their own, but nearly identical types may used by different geographical representatives, which are not closely related. The consequences for reconstructing the evolution of the Willow Tit complex by means of acoustical characters are discussed.

Risk of predation and foraging sites of individuals in mixed-species tit flocks

1993

Abstract Abstract. Foraging sites of individual willow tits, Parus montanus, and crested tits, P. cristatus, on spruce were studied in a winter when the risk of predation from pygmy owls, Glaucidium passerinum, was high and in a winter when it was low. Mixed-species flocks consisted of two crested tits (a pair) and three to six willow tits. The risk of predation from owls is likely to be highest on the most exterior tree parts. Female crested tits foraged further out on the branches than other individuals when predation risk was low, but foraged in the safer sites close to the tree trunk when the risk was high. Male crested tits retained both their relative distance to the trunk and their r…

Alarm calling by individual willow tits, Parus montanus

1990

Abstract Alarm responses of wild-captured individual willow tits to model sparrowhawks, Accipiter nisus, flying over a test chamber were studied. Tits did not usually give alarm calls if the apparent predator was passing nearby (at a height of 10 m), while over half of the individuals responded by alarm calling for a more distant predator (40 m). This suggests that alarm calling involves a risk to the caller. Second, there was individual variation in the responses, with older males giving the call more frequently than females or young males. The greater responsiveness of adult males may indicate that different individuals in a flock gain different benefits by warning the others. The tendenc…

Food Caching By Willow and Crested Tits: A Test of Scatterhoarding Models

1995

In coniferous forests of Central Finland, Willow (Parus montanus) and Crest- ed Tits (P. cristatus) store seeds in a scattered distribution within their territory during the autumn. Individuals cache and recover food items while moving together as members of mixed-species flocks. The purpose of this study was to test certain predictions of scatter- hoarding models (Stapanian and Smith 1978, Clarkson et al. 1986), which predict how the animal should hoard food items from a superabundant source to maximize the number of caches recovered. Our field experiments gave support to most of the predictions of the models. Individual tits stored seeds closer to the food source when food had been availa…
