    No full text
    In this paper academic, pedagogical and social life of an Italian priest, thinker and a scholar, famous for his numerous achievements prof. Luigi Giussani is depicted. Undoubtedly, his assets: attentiveness, discernment and courage made him a well-known and respected person in academic, ecclesiastical, cultural and political The author of the paper, considering a pedagogical aspect, shows Giussani as an exceptional scholar and educator. His way of understandin of pedagogy and upbringing as well as selected achievements are presented. As an educator, Giussani was characterized by a realistic approach to a man and his upbringing. He emphasized the fact, that a man is a sensible and free being. Giussani dedicated himself both to God and a man. A short biography is included in the paper, ways of upbringing recommended by Giussani, teaching/upbringing events, personality traits of an educator and a pupil are discussed and a relationship between upbringing and freedom of the individual, conscience and tradition is dealt with as well

    IL RUOLO DELLA CHIMICA TEORICA NELLA FOTOFISICA E NELLA FOTOCHIMICA

    La fotofisica e la fotochimica costituiscono due importanti discipline scientifiche che trattano lo studio dell’interazione luce-materia. Diversi processi biologici fondamentali, quali la fotosintesi clorofilliana ed i meccanismi alla base della visione, rientrano nel loro campo di ricerca. Con il presente contributo viene discusso il ruolo chiave svolto dalla chimica teorica e dalla sua implementazione pratica nella chimica computazionale, per la previsione, caratterizzazione e comprensione di fenomeni fotoindotti, portando come esempio significativo la caratterizzazione fotofisica e fotochimica della molecola indolo, cromoforo dell’amminoacido essenziale triptofan

    TOWARD THE ACCURATE SIMULATION OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRONIC SPECTRA

    Two-dimensional pump-probe electronic spectroscopy is a powerful technique able to provide both high spectral and temporal resolution, allowing the analysis of ultrafast complex reactions occurring via complementary pathways by the identification of decay-specific fingerprints. [1-2] The understanding of the origin of the experimentally recorded signals in a two-dimensional electronic spectrum requires the characterization of the electronic states involved in the electronic transitions photoinduced by the pump/probe pulses in the experiment. Such a goal constitutes a considerable computational challenge, since up to 100 states need to be described, for which state-of-the-art methods as RASSCF and RASPT2 have to be wisely employed. [3] With the present contribution, the main features and potentialities of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy are presented, together with the machinery in continuous development in our groups in order to compute two-dimensional electronic spectra. The results obtained using different level of theory and simulations are shown, bringing as examples the computed two-dimensional electronic spectra for some specific cases studied.

    Attitude toward non-human animals and their welfare: do behaviorists differ from other veterinarians?

    No full text
    Veterinarians are an important source of information about animal care for owners. They provide general advice about topics important to an animal’s well-being, such as appropriate training, exercise and nutrition. Veterinary behaviorists, when dealing with undesired or abnormal behaviors, also perform an assessment of pet welfare and an evaluation of owners’ behavior and attitudes. It is likely that these assessments are affected by the attitude toward animals and toward animal welfare of the behaviorists. The aim of this study was to investigate whether veterinary behaviorists have a different attitude toward animals and animal welfare compared to other veterinarians. An online questionnaire, also including the 20-item Animal Attitude Scale, was completed by a convenience sample of 540 Italian veterinarians dealing with companion animals: 140 were behaviorists, 22 were starting to work in the field of behavioral medicine, and 378 were not involved in the field. Veterinary behaviorists showed a more positive attitude toward non-human animals and their welfare, which seems to be more related to the interest in behavioral medicine than to its practice. Moreover, behaviorists attached more importance to the psychological aspects of pet welfare that they perceived as less protected in their feline and canine patients. These findings suggest that being involved in one discipline or another of veterinary medicine do matter in the attitude toward non-human animals and their welfare
