William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury. A study of time sequences, shifts in time and linking mechanisms
2019
The aim of my current research in the frame of my PhD studies is to study the time structure of William Faulkner’s The Soun d and the Fury, with special attention to Benjy’s chapter, in order to establish whether there is a cohesive link between any two consecutive, apparently disconnected episodes narrated in Benjy’s part. The theoretical framework builds upon the theories on narrative syntax , from Aristotle to Propp, Lévi - Strauss, Greimas, Todorov and Genette, on the one hand, and the research on the concept of time across disciplines such as physics, psychology and philosophy, on the other. The methodology includes both quant itative (measurement of the number of lines devoted to each…
Peripersonal Visuospatial Abilities in Williams Syndrome Analyzed by a Table Radial Arm Maze Task
2020
Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic deletion syndrome characterized by severe visuospatial deficits affecting spatial exploration and navigation abilities in extra-personal space.To date, little is known about spatial elaboration and reaching abilities in the peripersonal space in individuals with WS. The present study is aimed at evaluating the visuospatial abilities in individuals with WS and comparing their performances with those of mental age-matched typically developing (TD) children by using a highly sensitive ecological version of the Radial Arm Maze (table RAM). We evaluated 15 individuals with WS and 15 TD children in two different table RAM paradigms: the free-choice paradigm, ma…
Brain. Broad Research In Artificial Intelligence And Neuroscience-To What Extent Is Free Will Actually Free? The Answer Of Neurosciences
2018
Even though at the beginning of the 1980s the results of the first neuroscience experiments made some researchers label free will as an "illusion", researches of recent years have unexpectedly changed this perspective. It is raised the issue of post-classical, post-dualistic views in which free will can no longer be regarded as an "all-or-nothing" phenomenon, and in which freedom itself is paradoxically redefined as an unconscious predetermination out of an infinite number of options. The present paper summarizes the perspectives on free will generated by the first experiments in neuroscience and aims to find an answer regarding the freedom of choice, taking into account the latest scientif…
Consumo de alimentos funcionales: factores determinantes
2019
El concepto de alimento funcional nació en Japón en 1991, y desde entonces ha sido objeto de estudio debido al gran crecimiento de mercado que ha experimentado esta categoría de producto en las últimas décadas (Arai, Osawa, Ohigashi, Yoshikawa, Kaminogawa, Watanabe, . . . Nishino, 2001). En líneas generales, podemos definir que un alimento se considera funcional si se demuestra que ejerce un efecto beneficioso sobre una o más funciones selectivas del organismo, además de sus efectos nutritivos intrínsecos, de modo que mejore el estado de salud y bienestar, reduzca el riesgo de enfermedad, o ambas cosas (Diplock, Agget,Ashwell, Bornet, Fern y Roberfroid, 1999). Ahora bien, el consumidor s…
Oral diseases in a patient with Prader-Willy syndrome.
2007
BACKGROUND: A case of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in a 13-year-old girl is reported. The patient presents with systemic and oral manifestations of the disease. Case report The patient shows: obesity, hypotonia, mental retardation, small hands, prominent forehead, strabismus, hypoplastic teeth, poor oral hygiene, caries, oral candidiasis and thick, sticky saliva. This case is reported to underline the importance of the oral and dental problems of these patients. Caries and oral candidiasis are correlated with the reduced secretion of saliva and with poor oral hygiene. The role of paediatric dentistry is considered to be necessary for the prevention of oral complications of this syndrome.
Classroom context's influence on students' willingness to communicate : a study of upper secondary school students' views
2015
Suullisen kielitaidon harjoittelua vieraissa kielissä sekä asenteita sitä kohtaan on tutkittu melko paljon niin Suomessa, kuin muualla maailmassakin (ks. esim. Mäkelä 2005 tai Yli-Renko ja Salo-Lee 1991). Sen sijaan oppilaiden ja opiskelijoiden halukkuudesta puhua vieraita kieliä, tässä tapauksessa erityisesti englantia, ei suomalaisessa kontekstissa ole tutkimustietoa. Kielen opettamisen kannalta olisi kuitenkin tärkeää ymmärtää, miten oppilaat ja opiskelijat kokevat oman halukkuuteensa puhua englantia, ja miten erilaiset tilanteet oppitunnilla siihen vaikuttavat. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena onkin selvittää suomalaisten lukiolaisten halukkuutta puhua englantia erityisesti oppitunnilla,…
Organic food consumption: The relevance of the health attribute
2020
During the last decades, organic food products have become the main sustainable alternative to conventional food consumption. Among the several organic food attributes that consumers recognize in organic food, healthiness has been reported as the primary motivation to buy products certified as organic. The objective of the current study is to assess the relative weight of the health attribute among other recognized organic food attributes. To achieve this aim, a multiple price list (MPL) methodology is adopted to elicit consumers&rsquo
La Madonna della Bruna di Monreale: un testimone della 'maniera cypria' nell’abbazia benedettina del re Guglielmo II
2019
Il saggio affronta lo studio storico-artistico di un antico dipinto su tavola della Cattedrale di Monreale rappresentante la Madonna col Bambino nell'iconografia dell'Odigitria. Tradizionalmente datato al XII o addirittura all'XI secolo e collegato al re Guglielmo II "il buono", grazie ai risultati del recente restauro scientifico si è invece spostata la datazione alla metà del XIII secolo, come prodotto della cosiddetta 'maniera cypria' diffusa in Italia meridionale e nell'area mediterranea, dovuto piuttosto alla committenza di un abate-arcivescovo di Monreale. The essay deals with the historical-artistic study of an ancient painting on wood of the Cathedral of Monreale representing the Ma…
