La "Trilogia del limite": i "silent book di Suzy Lee", laboratorio di metafore e immaginario
No full textNella storia della Letteratura per l'infanzia, l'albo illustrato ha ormai conquistato un posto di rilievo; esso, per sua natura, è caratterizzato dalla contaminazione di linguaggi diversi e dalla polisemia che nasce dal fruttuoso incontro tra testo e immagine, produttore di sempre nuovi testi. Il "picture book" si pone al servizio di un processo in cui la costruzione di una competenza testuale, fondata principalmente sul pensiero logico, deve procedere insieme alla stimolazione e all'utilizzo del pensiero analogico metaforico e combinatorio. I "silent book" dell'illustratrice sudcoreana Suzy Lee, che costituiscono una sorta di trilogia ("L'onda", "Ombra" e "Mirror"), si propongono quale terreno di interessante e prolifica analisi del meccanismo polialfabetico dell'albo illustrato, con il loro valicare i limiti anche fisici posti dal libro
volgendo lo sguardo del lettore verso una nuova prospettiva
"TI RACCONTO ERACLE PER EMMA DANTE"
No full textIl saggio racconta uno spettacolo teatrale che contiene l’“antichità” e l’“oggi”, l’Eracle di Euripideper la regia di Emma Dante, alla cui prima l'autrice ha assistito, il 10 maggio 2018 nella mitologica cornice del teatro greco di Siracusa. Se ne rilevano i codici scenografici, coreografici e recitativi, individuando la cifra registica nel confronto con il testo (tradotto per l'occasione da Giorgio Ieranò
Michele Taruffo: el magisterio y la obra ejemplares del genial procesalista «todoterreno»
No full textThe author reflects on Michele Taruffo’s extraordinarily important contribution to the renewal of both conventional procedural law scholarship and the theoretical background of law-court professionals. Taruffo’s contribution was achieved by means of introducing to mainstream culture in those circles the necessary knowledge of the underlying epistemic dimension, which was traditionally suppressed by the strictly legal one.El autor discurre acerca de la importantísima contribución de Michele Taruffo a la renovación del procesalismo convencional y del bagaje teórico de los profesionales de la jurisdicción, mediante la incorporación a la cultura dominante en tales medios del imprescindible conocimiento de la dimensión epistémica subyacente y tradicionalmente sofocada por la propiamente jurídica
"Le voci di dentro": Eduardo e dopo...
No full textDopo l’analisi del testo drammaturgico e la ricostruzione della prima rappresentazione di “Le voci di dentro” da parte dell’autore, il saggio mette a confronto alcune messinscena post-eduardinane: quella per la regia di Alfonso Santagata, con la sua compagnia Katzenmacher, nel 2004; quella , nel 2006-2007, per la regia di Francesco Rosi, scene di Enrico Job, con Luca De Filippo nella parte principale; infine la versione più recente, il 27 marzo 2013, per la regia di Toni Servillo, anche lui interprete di Alberto. Non manca, tuttavia, di considerare, come testimonianza virtuale dell'autore, l'edizione televisiva a colori del 1978, con gli stessi attori della messinscena teatrale del '76-77 (oltre a Eduardo/Alberto Saporito, Luca De Filippo/Carlo, suo fratello, Pupella Maggio/Rosa Cimmaruta, Maria Confalone/Maria, cameriera, Ugo D'Alessio/Michele, portiere, Gino Maringola/Pasquale Cimmaruta)
Effects of Continuous Kinaesthetic Feedback Based on Tendon Vibration on Motor Imagery BCI Performance
No full textBackground and objectives: Feedback plays a crucial role for using brain computer interface systems. This paper proposes the use of vibration-evoked kinaesthetic illusions as part of a novel multisensory feedback for a motor imagery (MI)-based BCI and investigates its contributions in terms of BCI performance and electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates. Methods: sixteen subjects performed two different right arm MI-BCI sessions: with the visual feedback only and with both visual and vibration-evoked kinaesthetic feedback, conveyed by the stimulation of the biceps brachi tendon. In both conditions, the sensory feedback was driven by the MI-BCI. The rich and more natural multisensory feedback was expected to facilitate the execution of MI, and thus to improve the performance of the BCI. The EEG correlates of the proposed feedback were also investigated with and without the performing of MI. Results and Conclusions: the contribution of vibration-evoked kinaesthetic feedback led to statistically higher BCI performance (Anova, F(1,14)= 18.1, p <.01) and more stable EEG event-related-desynchronization. Obtained results suggest promising application of the proposed method in neuro-rehabilitation scenarios: the advantage of an improved usability could make the MI-BCIs more applicable for those patients having difficulties in performing kinaesthetic imagery
Occurrence of fungi from conjunctiva of healthy horses in Tuscany, Italy
No full textSixty-two horses (62%) were positive for moulds and 34 (34%) had positive cultures from both eyes. Yeasts were isolated from only four subjects. The following fungal genera and species were recovered: Aspergillus (33% of the total examined horses), Cladosporium (7%), Mucor (7%), Paecylomyces (1%), Fusarium (1%), Trichoderma (1%), Drechslera (1%), Alternaria (1%), Candida spp. (3%) (identified as Candida membranaefaciens 1%, Candida famata 1%, and Candida lambica anamorph of Pichia fermentans var. fermentans 1%), and Cryptococcus sp. (1%) (identified as Cryptococcus laurentii). Different fungal genera and/or species were recovered from the same horse in 13 cases (13%). The yeasts were always associated with moulds. The number of colony-forming units ranged from 10 Aspergillus spp. in a subject, to one in 43 animals. Aspergillus species most frequently recovered were A. fumigatus (33.3% of the total Aspergillus species recovered), A. glaucus (27.2%), A. cervinus (21.2%), A. ochraceus (21.2%), A. ustus (12.1%), A. flavus (9%), A. versicolor (9%), A. niger (6%), A. candidus (3%) and A. cristatus (3%).
The prevalence of fungal isolation was 84.2% on farm number 1, 72% on farm number 2, and 42.4% on farm number 3. The value found on farm 3, the only one where horses were kept outside, was significantly lower (p < 0.01) in comparison with the results obtained on the other two farms
Ocular abnormalities in healthy Standardbred foals
No full textObjective To determine the prevalence and describe ocular abnormalities in healthy Standardbred foals within 48 h of birth. Animals One hundred and two neonatal foals. Procedures All foals had an unassisted delivery. On the basis of physical examination and the results of hematological and biochemical parameters, all foals were unaffected by systemic diseases. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed within 48 h of birth. Foals with ocular hemorrhages were re-examined weekly until the abnormalities were resolved. Results 65/102 (63.7%) foals did not show ocular abnormalities, while in 37/102 (36.3%) cases, ocular abnormalities were present. Retinal and subconjunctival hemorrhages were recorded in 19/102 (18.6%), and in 13/102 (12.7%), respectively. In 4/102 (3.9%) animals, an entropion of the lower eyelid was present. Only one foal (1%) showed a congenital nuclear unilateral cataract. No other ocular abnormalities were detected. However, all foals showed various degrees of remnants of hyaloid system. One week after the first ocular examination, retinal hemorrhages had resolved in 100% of the eyes, whereas subconjunctival hemorrhages had disappeared in all eyes by the second week following the first examination. Conclusions The acquired ocular lesions observed with relatively high frequency in the examined healthy Standardbred foals were ocular hemorrhages, which always showed a good outcome. Although these abnormalities were present at birth, they were not considered strictly congenital but likely acquired during parturition. Instead, congenital ocular abnormalities were rarely diagnosed, and the entropion of the lower eyelid was the most common disease in the breed
