No full textEducazione, socializzazione, formazione dell identità, istruzione. Attorno a queste parole chiave si è sviluppata nel ventesimo secolo una riflessione importante che ha travalicato i confini della pedagogia. Via via che i fenomeni educativi si sono estesi da una élite circoscritta a tutti gli strati sociali, andando a intrecciarsi con più complesse variabili esterne, anche nel pensiero sociologico si è andata raffinando una elaborazione intorno ai perché dell educazione, alla funzione che riveste nella società moderna, agli attori principali del sistema educativo e alle sue tendenze di sviluppo. Questa antologia raccoglie 13 testi raggruppati nei quattro percorsi tematici - che aiutano a ripercorrere le tappe del cammino scientifico in sociologia dell educazione, ponendo a confronto autori classici (dall inizio del Novecento alle prime fasi della scolarizzazione di massa) e contemporanei (dagli anni Settanta in poi) di diverso orientamento: funzionalismo, conflittualismo, interazionismo simbolico, fenomenologia sociale, individualismo metodologico, teoria istituzionalista. Dalla voce degli autori emerge un ampio spaccato degli approcci ai fattori sociali dell educazione, toccando con mano l eredità del secolo passato e la complessità del dibattito attuale su una delle grandi questioni della nostra società. Una esaustiva presentazione delle tematiche e dei testi introduce il lettore alla metodologia dello studio mediante le fonti. Chiude il volume una breve descrizione della vita e delle principali opere di ciascun autore (a cura di D. Langialonga).

Around this key-words an important reflection has been developed during all the Twenty Century, going beyond the pedagogical boarders. The more education has been spread out from a restricted elite to every social group, more the sociology has elaborated a large thinking upon the reasons of education, its functions in modern society, its most signfiicative actors and evaluable trends. This book collects 13 texts – divided in 4 thematic sections – that lead the reader to understand the path of modern sociology of education; it shows classical authors (from early Nineteen century to the mass education time) beside to contemporary authors (from the Seventies to now), form different approaches: functionalists; conflictualists; symbolic interactionists; methodological individualists; and institutional theorists. From the essais rises a wide scenary of the “social factors” in education, showing both the past heritage and the rich current debate on one of the most crucial issue in society. An exhaustive presentation of topics and texts introduces the reader to the study based on sources. At the end of volume is offered a short description of life and books of each author (written by D. Langialonga). Essays by: Simmel G., Parsons T., Berger P.L., Luckmann T., Wrong D.H., Cooley C.H., Mead G.H., Riesman D., Dubar C., Meyer J., Weick K.E., W.Becker H., Platt M.G., Coleman J.
Infiltration and Selective Interactions at the Interface in Polymer-Oxide Hybrid Solar Cells
No full textPositron annihilation spectroscopy was used to characterize polymer-based hybrid solar cells formed by poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) finely infiltrated in a porous TiO2 skeleton. A step-change improvement in the device performance is enabled by engineering the hybrid interface by the insertion of a proper molecular interlayer namely 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MP). In order to obtain depth-resolved data, positrons were implanted in the sample using a variable-energy positron beam. The characteristics of the partially filled nanoporous structures were evaluated in terms of the depth profile of the positronium yield and the S-parameter. A quantitative evaluation of the pore filling in the deep region is given from the analysis of Coincidence Doppler Broadening taken at fixed implantation energy. We note a remarkable difference in terms of the positronium yield when the 4-MP interlayer is introduced, which means a better covering of P3HT on the porous surface

Sternite VIII with conspicuous median strut.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The exact location of “Cerro de Plumas”, the type locality of <i>M. ferrugineus</i> cited by Gorham (1888), is unknown. It may refer to “Cerro de Palmas” in Veracruz, introduced as a correction to “Cerro de Plumas” in a subsequent issue of Biologia Centrali-Americana (Selander & Vaurie 1962). The type locality is certainly in Mexico, which places it far from the species described herein. <i>Mycomystes nigriventris</i> fits well in the genus because it has conspicuously dilated tibiae, an oval body, and a subpentagonal mentum plate, with a rounded outline and very elongate maxillary palpomeres in relation to labial palpomeres. All of these features are uncommon in Neotropical Tritomini and, as discussed below, they may also be found in at least four species of <i>Mycotretus</i>. Based on the original description, <i>Mycotretus misellus</i> Lacordaire is similar to <i>M. nigriventris</i> in the black ventral coloration. The type of <i>M</i>. <i>misellus</i> has not been located by either Alvarenga (1994) or the senior author of the present work. However, we think <i>Mycotretus misellus</i> is not conspecific to <i>M. nigriventris</i> based on the examination of a specimen identified as <i>M. misellus</i> from the Reiche collection, housed in the University Museum of Zoology Cambridge (Camdridge, UK). This specimen fits Lacordaire’s description well in the slightly elongate body and the coarse elytral punctation (features not observed in <i>M. nigriventris</i>). Aside from that, Lacordaire (1842) did not mention dilated tibiae, a conspicuous feature of <i>M. nigriventris</i>.</p> <p> <b>Host fungi.</b> There is a record of four specimens collected in <i>Pleurotus</i> sp.

Barn-Owl painters in St.Peter's in the Vatican, 1604: three mocking poems for Roncalli, Vanni and Passignano (and a note on the breeches-maker)
No full textThe article is organized in two parts.
The first is based on 3 unpublished poems which the author found in a MS in the BL, London. The author dates and edits the texts and demonstrates that they offer a wide range of new information about the patronage, the date and the reception of the three altarpieces by Vanni, Roncalli and Passignano in St.Peter's. The poems are analysed in the light of another MS held in the Archivio Capitolino, Rome, many passages from that MS have been edited as well since they were still unpublished or misreported, and overall misdated in the precedent literature. The comparison between the two MSS shed new light on the habit of writing mocking texts (generally sonnets or epigrams) on works of art in early modern era. The topic has been mostly neglected in the precedent literature. Therefore, the author analyses the texts in the context of other early modern sources.
Being conceived immediately, as soon as a work was shown in public, these texts represent a first-hand account of the reception of works of art in their own time: i.g. one of the sonnet reports a slating comment on Caravaggio which adds a meaningful data to his reception in 1604.
The last part of the article concerns a poem addressed to Domenico Carnevali da Modena (in the same MS at the BL), it has previously been published by J. Shearman but with a wrong date and many mistakes in the transcription. The author provides with a new date in the light of the first restoration of Raphael's Isahia in Saint Augustin. The study shows that the famous nickname "braghettone" could be intended to mock Domenico Carnevali as well
