La Ergonomía del Ciclismo
No full textCycling Ergonomics may be defined as an interdisciplinary and systemic field concerned with the study of interactions among “the cyclist, the bicycle, and the cycling environment”. Its primary objective is to enhance efficiency, comfort, safety, and overall human well-being, while minimizing fatigue and the risk of injury. The discipline seeks to establish an optimal correspondence between the cyclist’s anatomical, physiological, and biomechanical characteristics and the functional requirements imposed by cycling equipment, activities, and environmental conditions. In essence, Cycling Ergonomics advocates the adaptation of the bicycle and cycling infrastructure to the cyclist, rather than compelling the cyclist to conform to the constraints of the bicycle or route. This approach promotes the development of a sustainable, safe, and user-centered human–machine–environment system. Drawing upon the theoretical and methodological foundations of biomechanics, physiology, engineering, and human factors research, Cycling Ergonomics examines how posture, pedaling technique, and equipment design influence both performance outcomes and long-term health.L’Ergonomia del Ciclismo può essere definita come un campo interdisciplinare e sistemico, che si occupa dello studio delle interazioni tra “ciclista, bicicletta e ambiente ciclistico”. Il suo obiettivo principale è quello di migliorare l’efficienza, il comfort, la sicurezza e il benessere generale dell’uomo, riducendo al minimo l’affaticamento e il rischio di infortuni. Questa disciplina cerca di stabilire una corrispondenza ottimale tra le caratteristiche anatomiche, fisiologiche e biomeccaniche del ciclista e i requisiti funzionali imposti dall’attrezzatura, dalle attività e dalle condizioni ambientali. In sostanza, l’Ergonomia del Ciclismo promuove l’adattamento della bicicletta e dell’infrastruttura ciclistica al ciclista, piuttosto che costringere il ciclista a conformarsi ai vincoli della bicicletta o del percorso. Questo approccio promuove lo sviluppo di un sistema uomo-macchina-ambiente sostenibile, sicuro e incentrato sull’utente. Basandosi sui fondamenti teorici e metodologici della biomeccanica, della fisiologia, dell’ingegneria e della ricerca sui fattori umani, l'Ergonomia del Ciclismo esamina come la postura, la tecnica di pedalata e la progettazione dell’attrezzatura influenzino sia i risultati delle prestazioni che la salute a lungo termine.La Ergonomía del Ciclismo puede definirse como un campo interdisciplinario y sistemático dedicado al estudio de las interacciones entre “el ciclista, la bicicleta y el entorno de circulación”. Su objetivo principal es optimizar la eficiencia, la comodidad, la seguridad y el bienestar humano en general, al tiempo que se minimiza la fatiga y el riesgo de lesiones. Esta disciplina busca establecer una correspondencia óptima entre las características anatómicas, fisiológicas y biomecánicas del ciclista y los requisitos funcionales impuestos por el equipamiento, la actividad y las condiciones ambientales del ciclismo. En esencia, la Ergonomía del Ciclismo promueve la adaptación de la bicicleta y de la infraestructura ciclista al usuario, en lugar de obligar al ciclista a ajustarse a las limitaciones de la bicicleta o del recorrido. Este enfoque favorece el desarrollo de un sistema humano–máquina–entorno sostenible, seguro y centrado en el usuario. Basándose en los fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos de la biomecánica, la fisiología, la ingeniería y la investigación en factores humanos, la Ergonomía del Ciclismo analiza cómo la postura, la técnica de pedaleo y el diseño del equipamiento influyen tanto en el rendimiento como en la salud a largo plazo
Research and innovation on green and blue networks
No full textThe research investigates the way in which the green and blue networks project, within new territorial re-infrastructure strategies, can contribute to creating circular and adaptive territorial and infrastructural models. Among them, the reclamation landscape is the subject of a “re-cycling” operation, moving this concept from the building scale to the territorial scale.La ricerca indaga il modo in cui il progetto delle reti verdi e blu, nell'ambito di nuove strategie di ri-infrastrutturazione territoriale, possa contribuire alla creazione di modelli territoriali e infrastrutturali circolari e adattivi. Tra questi, il paesaggio di bonifica è oggetto di un'operazione di "ri-ciclo", spostando questo concetto dalla scala edilizia a quella territoriale
“The Wings I Liked”: Russian Rock as A Language of Violence in The Poetry of Elena Fanailova
No full textСтатья посвящена роли русского рока в поэзии Елены Фанайловой. Русский рок, к которому принято относить имеющих мало обще- го друг с другом в музыкальном плане групп и исполнитель:ниц, представляет собой не конкретный жанр, а скорее специфический культурный феномен, характер- ными чертами которого является текстоцентричность, социальная направленность, противоставление себя «бездуховной» популярной музыке. Несмотря на изначальный протестный потенциал, со временем русский рок теряет его и перестаёт противоречить идеологии. Автор статьи рассматривает, как Фанайло- ва критически осмысляет феномен русского рока и его изменившийся статус в русскоязычной культуре.The article explores the significance of Russian rock in the poetry of Elena Fanaylova. Russian rock, which is usually considered to include bands and performers that have little in common with each other in musical terms, is not a specific genre, but rather a specific cultural phenomenon, the characteristic features of which are text-centricity, social orientation, and opposition to “soulless” popular music. Despite the initial protest potential, over time, Russian rock loses it and ceases to contradict ideology. The author investigates Fanaylova’s interpretation of the Russian rock phenomenon and its evolving status within contemporary Russian-speaking cultural landscape
The Metamorphoses in Elena Fanailova’s book With a Special Cynicism
No full textВ статье рассмотрены образы ме- таморфоз в центральной для темы поэтической книге Елены Фанай- ловой. Доказывается связь темы метаморфоз с телесной экстатич- ностью, которую объяснил философ Владимир Бибихин. Экстатичность понимается не как расставание с со- бой, но как концентрированность. В нарративной поэзии Фанайловой эта концентрированность означает схватывание собственного состоя- ния до и после метаморфозы, стол- кновение уже не двух временных, но двух онтологических планов. Фанайлова рассматривает опыт умирания в ключе и религиозной медитации, и постоянного насилия образов, которые циничны в совре- менной медиасреде. Бессмертие тогда понимается не как измене- ние экзистенциальной кодировки, но как обретение особого перволич- ного высказывания, требующего признания чужой боли, а значит, и особой политики отношений с другим человеком.The paper examines the imagery of metamorphoses in the poetic book of Elena Fanailova, which is pivotal to the issue. The link between the theme of metamorphosis and corporeal ecstaticity, which was explained by philosopher Vladimir Bibikhin, is substantiated. Ecstaticity is conceptualized not as parting with the self, but as concentratedness. In Fanailova’s narrative poetry, this concentratedness means grasping one’s own state before and after metamorphosis, the collision of not two temporal but two ontological perspectives. Fanailova addresses the experience of dying in the key of both religious meditation and the constant violence of images, which are cynical in the current media sphere. Immortality is then understood not as a change of existential identity coding, but as the acquisition of a distinctive first-person utterance that requires the recognition of another’s pain, and thus a special politics of relationship with another person
L’immagine di Apollo nell’Etruria arcaica
No full textThe paper focuses on the image of Apollo in archaic Etruria and aims to highlight how, in the reception of a Greek iconographic framework, the selection of figural features is calibrated to emphasise the characters and functions of Etruscan deities assimilated to the god. The images illustrate the Etruscan making of the visual identity of the God, autonomous but consistent with cultic coordinates: the incorporation of the anthropomorphic dimension through Greek iconography constitutes the result of a cultural and religious process which began around the end of the 7th century B.C. and whose logic can be contextualised
Memory
No full textLa memoria è un concetto fondamentale che attraversa diverse discipline, quali filosofia, psicologia e neuroscienze, e che ha suscitato interesse e riflessione per secoli. Questo contributo si propone di rispondere alla domanda “Che cos’è la memoria?” attraverso un percorso storico e teorico, partendo dalle tradizioni filosofiche antiche e moderne, passando per le principali teorie psicologiche del Novecento, fino ad arrivare ai modelli computazionali sviluppati nella seconda metà del secolo scorso. Infine, si presenta una panoramica sui dibattiti contemporanei, che coinvolgono prospettive innovative come la simulazione mentale, il viaggio mentale nel tempo e l’approccio embodied. Ogni fase contribuisce a delineare la complessità della memoria e la sua importanza nello studio della cognizione umana.In a broad sense, memory can be understood as the capacity to preserve, rework, and transmit information over time, a faculty crucial for the construction of identity and for understanding human cognition. This contribution seeks to address the complex question “What is memory?” through a historical and theoretical journey that includes philosophical traditions, twentieth-century psychological theories, and computational models. It also offers an overview of contemporary debates, from mental simulation to mental time travel and embodied approaches. The aim is to highlight the complexity, interdisciplinarity, and central role of memory in the understanding of human cognitive processes

Simultaneous interpreting (with text): impact of condition, speech difficulty, speech rate and visual attention on young professional interpreters’ performance
No full textIn simultaneous interpreting (SI) with text (SIMTXT), interpreters receive input through auditory (via the speaker) and visual (via the transcript of the speech) channels, rendering the activity multimodal. Whereas some researchers indicate that transcript use may facilitate performance, others claim it may add a layer of complexity to the intricate cognitive processes involved in SI. To fill this research gap, we conducted a quasi-experimental within-subject design study involving 12 English-Dutch junior interpreters to investigate the impact on performance of the condition (SI versus SIMTXT), the speech difficulty, the speech rate and the visual attention allocation to the transcript. The study combined data from eye-tracking glasses (visual attention) and audio recordings (performance). Performance was measured via two methods: Overall Quality Indicator and Problem Trigger Accuracy Rate. Results from a Linear Mixed Model analysis show that interpreting performance was superior in the SIMTXT condition. In addition, high speech rate and speech difficulty negatively affected performance in both conditions, with the extent of the effect depending on the method of measurement. Finally, in SIMTXT, a positive – be it limited – effect of visual attention to the transcript on performance was established, although a great variability was observed between the participants
Advanced Theory of Mind and Quality of Life in School-aged Children: The Mediating Role of Coping Strategies and Resilience
No full textResearch shows that school-aged children with higher levels of Advanced Theory of Mind (AToM) perceive a better quality of life, use more adaptive coping strategies, and exhibit greater resilience than children with lower levels of AToM. This study explored the relationships among these constructs in 332 fourth- and fifth-grade children (M = 10 years, SD = 7 months) based in north-eastern Italy, using self-report questionnaires. Results showed that higher AToM was linked to greater quality of life and resilience, and to lower use of trivializing and externalizing coping. Mediation analyses revealed that resilience and externalizing coping fully mediated the AToM–quality of life relationship. Findings underscore the value of fostering theory of mind, resilience, and adaptive coping to support children’s well-being.La ricerca dimostra che i bambini in età scolare con livelli più elevati di Teoria della Mente Avanzata (AToM) percepiscono una migliore qualità della vita, utilizzano strategie di coping più adattive e mostrano una maggiore resilienza rispetto ai bambini con livelli più bassi di AToM. Questo studio ha esplorato le relazioni tra questi costrutti in 332 bambini di quarta e quinta elementare (M = 10 anni, DS = 7 mesi) provenienti dall’Italia nord-orientale, utilizzando questionari self-report. I risultati hanno mostrato che una AToM più elevata era collegata a una migliore qualità della vita e a maggiori livelli di resilienza, e a un minore utilizzo di strategie di coping minimizzanti ed esternalizzanti. Le analisi di mediazione hanno rivelato che la resilienza e le strategie di coping esternalizzanti mediavano completamente la relazione AToM-qualità della vita. I risultati sottolineano l'importanza di promuovere la teoria della mente, la resilienza e le strategie di coping adattiv
