Nonlinear interaction phenomena between bone and pin
No full textInteraction phenomena between bone and pin are investigated according to a contact surface strategy and assuming that bone material properties range in an elasto-plastic field. The analysis is performed by adopting a numerical model that considers coupled geometric and material nonlinearities. Particular attention is paid to the theoretical formulation of the contact problem and of the material constitutive law. Results are reported in terms of stress fields in bone material andbone-pin interface and of detachment displacements
Decameron: i molteplici volti dell'ordine
No full textIl saggio analizza la polisemia del termine ‘ordine’ nel capolavoro boccaccesco, mettendo in evidenza come esso sia qui soprattutto Legge e Comandamento, in prevalenza impartiti dal sesso maschile e, in prima istanza, dall’autore stesso, rinnovato demiurgo di un mondo precipitato in un caos analogo a quello primigenio. The essay analyzes term’s ‘order’ polysemy in Boccaccio’s masterpiece, highlighting how it is here above all Law and Commandment, mainly given by the male sex and, in the first place, by the same author, world’s precipitate into a chaos similar to the primordial renewed demiurge
Il «senso primario del valore come impegno»: il permanere del trascendentalismo della prassi in Dal Pra
No full textStarting from the manuscript notebooks stored in the philosopher's personal archive, the article aims to show how the theme of the tran- scendentalism of praxis (t.d.p.), developed by Dal Pra particularly during the 1950s, remained an important point of reference for him at least until the mid- 1970s. Taking the original and public formulation of the t.d.p. as his starting- point, the Author fol- lows the recurring and constant return of the philosopher's unpublished notes to some conceptual focal points, for which the t.d.p.'s contribution was still relevant: the rela- tionships between philosophy and history of philosophy, theory and praxis, and gene- ral "orientation" and sectoral concepts. A different and more complex picture emerges compared to the common historiographical thesis, in a certain sense supported by Dal Pra himself, of an interest in the t.d.p. arising and developed within a limited and clo- sed time frame

A Visual Approach for Green Criminology ::Exploring the Social Perception of Environmental Harm /
No full textThis book brings the visual dimension of environmental crimes and harms into the field of green criminology. It shows how photographic images can provide a means for eliciting narratives from people who live in polluted areas - describing in detail and from their point of view what they know, think and feel about the reality in which they find themselves living. Natali makes the argument for developing a visual approach for green criminology, with a single case-study as its central focus, revealing the importance of using photo elicitation to appreciate and enhance the reflexive and active role of social actors in the symbolic and social construction of their environmental experiences. Examining the multiple interactions between the images and the words used to describe the socio-environmental worlds in which we live, this book is a call to open the eyes of green criminology to wider and richer explorations of environmental harms and crimes. An innovative and engaging study, this text will be of particular interest to scholars of environmental crime and cultural, green and visual criminologies. Lorenzo Natali holds a PhD in Criminal Law and Criminology and is currently a post-doctoral Fellow at the Department of Sociology and Social Research, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy. His research focuses on violent crime, symbolic and radical interactionism, green criminology, and qualitative and interdisciplinary approaches, including visual methodologies. He is the author of Green Criminology: Prospettive Emergenti sui Crimini Ambientali (Torino: Giappichelli)
The anthropological recorded interview. Methodological issues and ethnographic examples
No full textThis work is conceived for students who already have a background in anthropological studies; it aims to teach students to carry out anthropological interviews with the use of recording instruments. This study was prepared in the frame of the E-QUAL project, and it provided the narrative structure on which a moodle module on the same topic was built by the present author.
The study is divided into three units: “How to prepare an interview”, “How to carry out an interview”, and “How to transcribe an interview”. The first unit looks into the ethical aspects and methods of preparation of the topic, and provides information on how to approach first contact with the interviewee. The second unit analyses the importance of building a relationship with the interviewee, strategies for conducting the interview and preparation of the questions. The third unit tackles the issues relating to transcription (timing and methods).
In all the units, the students will have to put into practice what they have learned, individually working out the goals of an interview, contacting a possible interviewee, creating a list of questions, carrying out the interview and finally transcribing it.
The aim of the module is not to create a perfect or correct interview on a specific topic, but rather to enable students to be capable of formulating an interview for any kind of research they might undertake

Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).Transforming long-term conflicts into peaceful intergroup relations is one of the most difficult challenges for humanity. Such meaningful social changes are often driven by young people. But do young people living in contexts of long-term conflicts believe that change is even possible? In a series of six studies (Ntotal = 119,671) over two decades and across two unrelated intractable conflicts in Israel/Palestine and Cyprus, we found that younger (compared to older) generations from both respective rival groups have less hope for peace, and consequently less conciliatory attitudes. We also show that this gradual improvement of peace-promoting emotions and attitudes with increasing age can be experimentally accelerated in young people through a virtual reality-based aging simulation. These findings provide a new perspective on the fundamental question of why long-term conflicts are so difficult to resolve and highlight the importance of instilling hope in young generations to advance peace processes.Peer reviewe
Lecturas de la correspondencia entre Plinio y Trajano relativa a los cristianos desde Tertuliano hasta Pietro de Natali
No full textThe author intends to check the most important vesions of the correspondence between pliny and Trajan (plin.Ep.10.96-97) referred to Christian people, dated betwen Tertullian a pietro de natali. To this analysis it´s added that of the general circumstances and the particular context of each author, all of this allows to appraise how, as the circumstances of each author change, the original episode changes from versions in which the emperor appears as a persecutor among the others to the ones that make of him a saviour of christianity, through those that present him as an innocent ruler who was lead to error by his bad advisers.El autor examina las principales versiones de la correspondencia entre plinio y Trajano (plin.Ep.10.96-97) referida a los cristianos fechadas entre Tertuliano y pietro de natali. al análisis de los textos se suma el de las circunstancias generales y el contexto particular de cada autor, todo lo cual permite apreciar cómo, según las influencias que recibe cada uno, el episodio originario va variando, oscilando de este modo las versiones entre las que retratan al emperador como un perseguidor más y las que hacen de él un salvador del cristianismo, pasando por las que pintan a un gobernante inocente que fue conducido al error por sus malos consejeros
Gli alieni siamo noi: la fantascienza antropologica di Ursula K. Le Guin
No full textDopo una parte introduttiva dedicata all'illustrazione della nascita della fantascienza antropologica, l'articolo analizza la sensibilità etnografica presente nella narrativa di Ursula K. Le Guin. Autrice assai prolifica e figlia dell'antropologo Alfred Kroeber, in tutta la sua produzione Le Guin dimostra un interesse per l'antropologia che va oltre la presenza di etnografi come protagonisti dei suoi romanzi, e si estende alla dimensione della critica culturale caratterizzante la disciplina. Le Guin è inoltre una saggista, che si avventura in teorie letterarie di stringente attualità, punti di riferimento per autori come James Clifford e Donna Haraway.After an introductory part devoted to illustrating the birth of anthropological science fiction, the article analyses the ethnographic sensibility present in the fiction of Ursula K. Le Guin. A very prolific author and daughter of anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, throughout her production Le Guin demonstrates an interest in anthropology that goes beyond the presence of ethnographers as protagonists of her novels, and extends to the dimension of cultural criticism that characterises the discipline. Le Guin is also an essayist, who ventures into literary theories of pressing relevance, a point of reference for authors such as James Clifford and Donna Haraway
