Le omissioni di Senofonte nella descrizione della battaglia di Aliarto (Hell. 3, 5, 17-25)
No full textIt has been well established that each historian, even ancient ones, uses among the composing techniques of his narrative what Paul Ricœur identifies as stratégies de l’oubli, through the omission of some details. Xenophon’s Hellenica have always represented a privileged ground for investigating this tendency. Scholars have tried, through systematic studies of the work and comparison with other sources, to understand the reasons why the Athenian historian includes only some details in his narrative, while eliminating others. Riedinger and Pownall’s studies are quite comprehensive in their analysis of such omissions. Nevertheless, no one delved into the description of the Battle of Haliartos proposed by Xenophon. Indeed, the historian focuses on Lysander’s and Pausanias’ planning of the attack on the Boeotian city, the changing mood of the Thebans, and the impulsiveness of the Spartan general, by passing in silence certain details that any reader would expect from the account of the battle. The article aims to point out narrative inconsistencies and to reflect on the reasons why Xenophon has given birth to an only partially reliable description of the battle of Haliartos
Recensione a Squillace G., Filippo II di Macedonia, Salerno Editrice, Roma 2022, pp. 360, ISBN 9788869736780

Squillace è il risultato di una ricerca che
l’autore ha iniziato in ambito dottorale e
che ha conosciuto un primo sviluppo con
la pubblicazione di un libro dedicato al
Macedone nel 2009. Nonostante si tratti di
una seconda analisi della vita di Filippo, il
lavoro presenta elementi di novità, includendo non soltanto la storia evenemenziale,
ma anche uno studio, condotto spesso in
ottica comparatistica, delle fonti e delle
letture che su questo personaggio nacquero
a partire dal Settecento
Indagare il lessico federale nella Grecia antica. La Confederazione beotica: un caso di studio
No full textThe paper aims to investigate the Greek federal lexicon, by considering the Boeotian confederacy as a case study. Starting from the assumption that the London papyrus’ discovery of the Oxyrhynchia Hellenika, which contains a long description of the Boeotian constitution, marks a pivotal moment for the history of Greek federalism, the analysis will extend to the impact that the federal lexicon used by the Oxyrinchus historian had on later authors. It will be shown that, before the testimony of the Oxyrhynchia Hellenika, the only way to refer to the Boeotian confederacy of the classic age was by using the ethnikon. The employment of the federal lexicon (e.g. koinon, sympoliteia, ethnos, synteleia) by 5th century BC authors whatsoever implies the presence of a federal state in Boeotia, as those same terms knew numerous other contexts in the Greek language. Thanks to the Anonymous these terms are also repurposed to refer to the Boeotian confederacy of the classical period and this tendency was shared by some later authors to also define the further stages of the koinon

No full textComparison of Different 3D Surface Registration-Based Methods to Assess Facial Asymmetry
No full textBackground/Objectives: Facial asymmetry is gaining an increasing diagnostic interest in many clinical contexts. Several three-dimensional surface-based methods have been proposed for its assessment; however, they might provide non-equivalent data. Since there is a lack of comparative studies in these terms, this study aims to compare three methods for assessing the asymmetry of the face and facial thirds, thus addressing whether the potential differences can be considered clinically acceptable or not. Methods: Two ‘maxillofacial’ methods based on the trigeminal nerve distribution and one ‘orthodontic’ method based on reference horizontal planes were used to identify the facial thirds on 3D facial models of 80 Italian healthy adults to calculate the asymmetry of the face, and the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face differently selected by each method. As a measure of asymmetry, the Root Mean Square value was calculated through a mirroring surface-based registration. Intra- and inter-operator reliability was verified for each method. Differences and interchangeability between the methods were tested, respectively, by two-way repeated measures ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and Bland–Altman and Similarity Percentage model analysis. Additionally, the time required to perform each method was assessed. Results: All methods demonstrated excellent intra- and inter-operator reliability. While the ANOVA analysis found significant differences (p < 0.001) for the majority of facial Regions of Interest between each method, the Bland–Altman analysis revealed that the differences were clinically acceptable (<0.50 mm) for all facial regions between the trigeminal methods, and for the face and the upper third of the face between the orthodontic method, which was revealed to be faster, and the trigeminal ones. The additional similarity percentage model provided visual support for the complete interchangeability of the two trigeminal methods, as evidenced by the lower Coefficient of Variation value. Conclusions: There is no best method for assessing facial asymmetry that applies to all types of clinical settings, as we have shown that different methods may not be completely interchangeable. However, we suggest that the methods based on the trigeminal subdivision can be used interchangeably in contexts where the morpho-functional analysis of maxillofacial regions with different embryological origins is considered. Thus, the clinical setting imposes the choice of one method over another and, as we have pointed out, the consequent comparison of data with those obtained with methods whose interchangeability has been demonstrated
Navigating the Hallways: A Dance/Movement Therapy Method for Adolescents in Schools
No full textThis thesis will describe the development of a dance/movement therapy method catered towards adolescents in a school setting that experience anxiety and chaos while in the classroom. The literature review addresses adolescent development, adolescents "at-risk", anxiety, identity development, and applications for dance/movement therapists working with adolescents. The method itself is a multi-step, somatic experience to help mitigate the symptoms of anxiety. Often, chaos occurs in the classroom. For adolescents with added exposure to violence, aggression, and abuse, classrooms become undesirable environments and increase levels of student’s anxiety. The method, "Navigating the Hallways" begins with body awareness to identify triggers that lead to anxiety. It is followed by four pathways, co-created with the therapist, to support the student’s ability to emotionally regulate, and to calm down enough to return to the classroom. This author looks at ways to provide students with body-based techniques to reduce anxiety that can then be utilized more independently or in coordination with other students in need. This author reflects on the process of developing this method and how relationships with the students aided in her growth as a dance/movement therapist.M.A., Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling -- Drexel University, 201
