Full text linkRipoliticizzare la casa, riprendersi lo spazio. Pratiche del 'fare casa' nella e oltre la pandemia
Full text linkLa pandemia da Covid-19 ha intaccato profondamente il modo in cui è vissuto lo spazio urbano, spostando le attività quotidiane prevalentemente all’interno dello spazio domestico. La casa è stata definita dal discorso pubblico come uno ‘spazio sicuro’ e ha assunto una centralità che necessita di essere indagata anche alla luce del dibattito sulla città post-pandemica. Lo spazio domestico, infatti, può rappresentare la lente attraverso cui osservare la riproduzione sociale a partire dalla ridefinizione dei confini tra spazio pubblico e spazio privato. Questo contributo si pone dunque l’obiettivo di indagare la casa come spazio sociale, tanto nei significati che oggi assume quanto nella sua accezione di spazio politico. A questo proposito, si è preso in esame il caso della Magni*fica, casa delle donne transfemminista queer nella città di Firenze, letto come una pratica generativa del ‘fare casa’ che svela contraddizioni e possibilità del concetto di ‘casa sicura’. The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the way urban space is experienced, shifting everyday activities predominantly into domestic space. The home has been defined in public discourse as a ‘safe space’ and has taken on a centrality that needs to be investigated in the post-pandemic city debate. The domestic space, in fact, could represent the lens through which to observe social reproduction starting from the redefinition of the boundaries between public and private space. The aim of this contribution is therefore to investigate the home as a social space, both in terms of the meanings it has today and in its meaning as a political space. In this regard, the case of Magni*fica, a queer transfeminist women's house in the city of Florence, is examined, as a generative practice of ‘making a home’ that reveals contradictions and possibilities of the concept of ‘safe house’.The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the way urban space is experienced, shifting everyday activities predominantly into domestic space.

Materiali da innesto: Proprietà ed uso nel rialzo del seno mascellare (revisione crirtica)
No full textPHOTOSYNTHETIC MEMBRANES .36. ENZYMATIC-ACTIVITY UNDER TANGENTIAL FLOW CONDITIONS OF PHOTOCHEMICALLY GRAFTED MEMBRANES CONTAINING IMMOBILIZED CATALASE
No full textCatalase has been immobilized within sandwich membranes prepared by the photoinduced grafting of an epoxy-diacrylate prepolymer onto commercial asymmetric cellulose membranes. The enzymatic activity of the membrane composite on hydrogen peroxide decomposition has been studied in a recirculation apparatus under tangential flow conditions without ultrafiltration. The enzymatic membranes were exposed to very low mechanical stresses and showed a very good catalytic performance and durability. Initial reaction rates, measured at 25-degrees-C as a function of both substrate concentration and enzyme amount immobilized per unit membrane surface, indicate that the mechanism of action of catalase is not altered after immobilization, although substrate diffusion through the original thin layer of membranes may become rate controlling
Women’s Safety Between Neo-Liberalization and Re-Writings of Public Spaces
Full text linkThis contribution aims to understand the transformations and at the same time the production of public space through a strategic point of observation: women’s safety. Much research has focused on safety in public space through a gendered lens but without considering co-implications with domestic space. The literature on the relationship between women and safety has increasingly recognized the interactive nature of public and private spaces, and that this interaction is pivotal in understanding gendered social relations. Through a case study on Bolognina neighborhood in Bologna, Italy, the aim is to examine the re-configurations of spaces, looking at women’s practices. For this purpose, I draw on urban theories of social reproduction that keep private and public spaces together in everyday life. This approach shows, on the one hand, the spatialisation of women’s safety and, on the other, how women produce spaces differently and change their meanings
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
