La disputa fra Federigo Enriques e i neoidealisti italiani: una disfatta dell’Enriques? (The dispute between Federigo Enriques and the Italian neo-idealists: a defeat for Enriques?)
Full text linkAbstractThe controversy that between 1908 and 1912 saw Benedetto Croce and Giovanni Gentile opposed, on one side, and Federigo Enriques, on the other, did not actually have a conclusive episode, but its end was perceived, for its results on culture, on society and teaching in Italy, as a "defeat" of Enriques. A more careful examination of the events and of the historical context in which it took place seems, however, to clearly demonstrate that we can speak not of a personal defeat of the great mathematician from Livorno, but rather of a defeat of the commendable attempts at cultural and social modernization of Italy in an international perspective, of which Enriques was not the only actor but certainly the most exposed. Such intentions were crushed by the myopic provincial conservatism of the Italian neo-idealism, favored by the fascist regime, concerned only with affirming in the world an alleged autarkic national cultural superiority, based on the traditional literary-humanistic culture, ignoring the progress of the new technical-scientific thought, placed in an international context. Keywords: Federigo Enriques, Italian neo.idealists, Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Gentile.[1] SuntoLa polemica che dal 1908 al 1912 vide contrapposti da una parte Benedetto Croce e Giovanni Gentile e dall’altra Federigo Enriques non ebbe, in realtà, un episodio conclusivo, ma la sua fine è stata percepita, per i suoi esiti sulla cultura, sulla società e sull’insegnamento in Italia, come una “sconfitta” dell’Enriques. Un esame più attento delle vicende e del contesto storico nel quale si svolse sembra, invece, dimostrare chiaramente di poter parlare non di una sconfitta personale del grande matematico livornese, quanto piuttosto di una sconfitta dei lodevoli tentativi di ammodernamento culturale e sociale dell’Italia in una prospettiva internazionale, di cui Enriques non fu l’unico attore ma sicuramente quello più esposto. Tali propositi furono schiacciati dal miope conservatorismo provinciale del neoidealismo italiano, favorito dal regime fascista, preoccupato unicamente di affermare nel mondo una pretesa superiorità culturale nazionale autarchica, basata sulla tradizionale cultura letterario-umanistica, ignorando il progresso del nuovo pensiero tecnico-scientifico, per sua natura, invece, inserito in un contesto internazionale.Parole chiave: Federigo Enriques, Neo-idealisti italiani, Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Gentile.[1] Received on February 28th, 2024.

Lie-isotopic representation of stable nuclei II: Exact and time invariant representation of the Deuteron data
Full text linkIn the preceding paper, we have presented apparent insufficiencies of quan- tum mechanics in nuclear physics To attempt a resolution of the indicated insufficiencies, in this paper we present a systematic and upgraded out- line of the axiom-preserving, time reversal invariant, Lie-isotopic branch of hadronic mechanics for the characterization of stable nuclei via the rep- resentation of the dimension, shape and density of protons and neutrons in the experimentally measured conditions of partial mutual penetration in a nuclear structure, with ensuing potential-Hamiltonian and contact non- Hamiltonian terms in nuclear force. We show that the Lie-isotopic methods allow a numerically exact and time invariant representations of all Deuteron data in the ground state without orbital contributions. We finally show that said representations are primarily due to the violation by Lie-isotopic meth- ods of Bell’s inequalities with explicit and concrete realizations of Bohm’s hidden variables, as well as to the completion of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle for point-like particles in vacuum under electromagnetic interac- tions into the isouncertainty principle of hadronic mechanics for extended nucleons in condiitons of partial mutual penetration allowing a progressive recovering of Einstein’s determinism under strong interactions up to its full recovery at the limit of Schwartzschild’s horizon
On Nano Generalized α^(**) Continuous and Nano Generalized α^(**) Irresolute Mappings
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to present nano generalized - continuous functions and nano generalized - irresolute mappings in Nano Topological Spaces. We introduce the terminologies for the sets, Nano Supremum and Nano Infimum. The fundamental properties of these functions with nano interior, nano closure, nano supremum, and nano infimum are investigated. The terms nano generalized - open mapping, nano generalized -closed mapping and nano generalized - homeomorphism are also defined and their associations with other continuous functions are investigated
Partecipazione, democrazia e politica sostenibile: una prima lettura) (Participation, democracy and sustainable politics: a first reading)
Full text linkSuntoIn questa prima lettura interpretativa, questo lavoro si focalizza, anche attraverso l’uso di numerose fonti reperite, sulla idea-forza della partecipazione attiva dei cittadini nella vita politica della propria comunità quale elemento centrale per la realizzazione compiuta della democrazia e il perseguimento di una politica sostenibile. Esaminando nel dettaglio sia gli strumenti tradizionali sia le metodologie innovative, si tenterà di comprendere come aumentare la partecipazione attiva, in particolare delle nuove generazioni, e, soprattutto spingendola in modo che sia più consapevole, si riuscirà a costruire una società effettivamente democratica, dove le istituzioni politiche sono identificate come attori chiave nel promuovere la partecipazione democratica, malgrado le difficoltà insite nella spigolosità stessa della tematica affrontata.AbstractIn this first interpretative reading, this work focuses, also through the use of numerous sources found, on the idea-strength of the active participation of citizens in the political life of their community as a central element for the complete realization of democracy and the pursuit of a sustainable policy. By examining in detail both the traditional tools and the innovative methodologies, we will try to understand how to increase active participation, in particular of the new generations, and, above all by pushing it so that it is more aware, we will be able to build an effectively democratic society, where political institutions are identified as key actors in promoting democratic participation, despite the difficulties inherent in the very angularity of the topic addressed.
Results on Expansion Maps in Fuzzy Menger Space via Property-(E.A) and (E.A)-like Property
Full text linkThe main goal of this paper is to establish two results in fuzzy menger space by using property-(E.A), (E.A) like property and occasionally weakly compatible mappings. Furthermore these results are justified with proper examples.These are generalization of the theorem proved by Diwan and others.
Unravelling the Tapestry: Quantum Physics, Biocentrism, and Indian Philosophy
Full text linkIn the intricate dance between the scientific and the metaphysical, the realms of quantum physics, biocentrism, and Indian philosophy converge, offering profound insights into the nature of reality. This article embarks on a journey to explore the interconnected threads that weave through these seemingly distinct domains, revealing a tapestry that challenges our understanding of existence
Citizen Science: which kind of public participation is epistemologically feasible?
Full text linkProjects concerning the participation of citizens to the scientific research have become very popular in recent years. However, the literature seems not offer much foundational investigations into the epistemological conditions that make citizens’ contribution to science a fruitful and rigorous activity. Research institutions and citizens, understood as entities bearing generally distinct requests, practices and goals, knowledge and skills, are totally misaligned. In order to participate to collaborative research, citizens need an epistemic and methodological literacy to overcome common sense ideas, towards an ever adequate vision of phenomena under investigation. Besides understanding the social advantages introduced by the participatory dimension, it is therefore necessary to analyze the related epistemological problems, to understand to what extent and in what respect to the participation of citizens to research processes might be regarded as truly advantageous from an epistemological perspective
The incompleteness of the Schroedinger equation
Full text linkThe Schrodinger equation with the nonlinear term is derived in the framework of the Dirac heuristics. The particle behaves classically in case its mass is infinite. The nonlinear term is crucial and involves a new physical constant b which can be measured via the same meth- ods used for the Casimir effect and accurate experimental procedures. New experiments, different from the Zeilinger ones, are proposed with Faraday simplicity for the determination of the new very small value of the constant b
Il latino della scienza Galilei e i fratelli Bernoulli in uno studio interdisciplinare sulla brachistocrona (Latin in Science, Galilei and the Bernoulli brothers in interdisciplinary study over the Brachistochrone)
Full text linkIn this paper, we describe an interdisciplinary study between Latin and Mathematics, where Latin serves as a tool for inquiry, facilitating access to and reflection on the new mathematical concepts that emerged during the Scientific Revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries. By examining original texts in Latin, we trace the genesis of these concepts and their development through the creation of a new Latin lexicon tailored to express them.We analyze texts by Galileo and the Bernoulli brothers concerning the brachistochrone problem, which marks the transition from classical mathematics to the new infinitesimal calculus that laid the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution. From an epistemological perspective, solving this problem—which requires the new tools of differential calculus—offers a significant example of the limitations of classical mathematics. The analysis of primary sources allows us to reconstruct the original thinking that led scientists to propose solutions, while also encountering an epistemological obstacle: the concept of the limit. Furthermore, analyzing the Latin texts reveals the construction and evolution of scientific language as it developed alongside the new mathematics.
Numerical solution of pollutant transport model with source term by RDTM
Full text linkThe focus of this paper is the study of mathematical model for the analysis of diffusion and transport processes of chemicals in river systems. In the present study, we have introduced a one-dimensional model that is described by time-dependent convection-diffusion differential equations. The focus of our study is the potential pollution of the river, both with and without a specific pollution source. The current investigation aims to analyze the impact of two different input source functions, namely constant and linear forms. In order to validate the model, we conducted a study on the diffusion and transport of chemicals, specifically focusing on NO and PO of the Tapi river. Reduced differential transform method (RDTM) is used to obtain solutions. For the accuracy of the solution, the convergence of solution function is examined in each case obtained from RDTM. The pollutant concentration at various distances and time levels has been shown numerically and graphically in each case. The pollution levels with and without sources are compared in 2D and 3D graphs. The methodology proposed in this study for river pollution prediction using a 1D pollution model can be applied to other rivers
