Alcune note su filosofia e didattica della matematica in Francesco Cecioni. Le Lezioni sui fondamenti della matematica
No full textIn questo contributo, esponiamo e commentiamo le principali idee sviluppate da Francesco
Cecioni nelle sue Lezioni sui fondamenti della matematica, pubblicate nel 1958. Il testo
comprende buona parte del materiale delle lezioni svolte da Cecioni per il corso di matematiche
complementari all’università di Pisa. Siamo convinti che questo volume non abbia ricevuto
l’attenzione che merita. Vi sono, infatti, esposte interessanti concezioni su numerosi aspetti
fondazionali della matematica. Noi abbiamo selezionato quelli che ci sembravano più rilevanti.
Abbiamo così esposto la concezione generale della matematica per come emerge dallo scritto di
Cecioni, deducendola: 1) dall’analisi di come egli intende la natura dell’aritmetica; 2) dal
modo in cui interpreta l’assioma di scelta. Qui sono notevoli le critiche di Cecioni alla
proposizione zermeliana; 3) dal confronto istituito da Cecioni tra implicazione logica e
causalità; 4) dalla sua concezione del rapporto tra matematica e logica simbolica. Siamo certi
che il lettore troverà spunti stimolanti e originali nelle idee di Cecioni, anche se alcune
potranno non esser condivise
« “Dessins” et “desseins” : techniques d’impression chez Matteo Ripa et édition impériale en Chine (XVIIIe siècle) »
No full textInternational audienceThe Italian missionary Matteo Ripa (1682–1746) realized a set of engravings representing the Summer Palace at Jehol for the Emperor Kangxi (r. 1662–1723). These imprints are very often reproduced in the books about the history of printing in China, because they are the first examples of Western metal plates engraved in this country. They are also quoted in publications about cultural and artistic exchanges, since they were among the earliest representations of the empire and of the “Chinese gardens” brought in Europe by missionaries. But these prints can also be considered like the products of an unaccomplished technical transfer. Moreover, the author of this contribution tries to highlight the gap existing between personal narration of the facts related in the Journal of Matteo Ripa (a native of South Italy loyal to the Church of Rome but active within missionary circles at the Qing court) and much more impersonal story of this editorial work made under the patronage of the Manchu ruler. The various editions about the Summer Palace are just some of numerous collective publishing projects of the empire and they become the expression of “designs” that exceed the confined space of the courtyards where they were created.Cet article porte sur les gravures sur plaque de métal représentant le palais d’été au Jehol réalisées par le missionnaire italien Matteo Ripa (1682-1746) pour l’empereur Kangxi (r. 1662-1723). Leurs reproductions sont omniprésentes dans les ouvrages concernant l’imprimerie en Chine, car elles constituent les premiers exemples de l’utilisation de la technique occidentale dans ce pays. Elles apparaissent aussi souvent dans les études consacrées aux échanges culturels et artistiques, car les exemplaires rapportés en Europe par le missionnaire ont été parmi les premières représentations connues du « jardin chinois ». Un examen à nouveaux frais de cet ensemble gravé a été l’occasion d’étudier celui-ci comme un transfert technique demeuré inabouti. On a aussi cherché à mettre en avant la différence existante entre la narration «individuelle» des faits, élaborée par un homme ayant grandi dans le sud d’une Italie qui n’existait pas encore, soutenu par la foi, motivé le plus souvent par des raisons propres au cercle des missionnaires et à l’Église de Rome, et les travaux éditoriaux sous l’égide des souverains Qing, des entreprises collectives et multiples, véhicules de « dessins» qui dépassent l’espace de la cour où ils furent créés

TUTELA DEL LAVORO E LIBERTA' D'IMPRESA NEI PROCESSI DI ESTERNALIZZAZIONE
No full textL’elaborato analizza le conseguenze lavoristiche della successione fra imprenditori, muovendo da una ricognizione delle varie tipologie di esternalizzazione con le relative esigenze e principali criticità.
L’indagine si concentra in primo luogo sul trasferimento d’azienda, esaminando la normativa e la giurisprudenza europee per passare poi alla disciplina di diritto interno, alle procedure sindacali e a uno specifico focus sul trasferimento delle aziende in crisi.
Successivamente l’autore si sofferma sull’appalto, prendendone in particolare considerazione gli indici di genuinità, i criteri di distinzione dalla somministrazione illecita di manodopera e la tutela delle maestranze in caso di avvicendamento fra imprese.
Da ultimo, la ricerca approfondisce le c.d. “clausole sociali”, sia di prima che di seconda generazione, valutandone la compatibilità con il diritto eurounitario e con la costituzione nonché riflettendo sui possibili rimedi in caso di loro violazione.The author analyzes the labour consequences of the succession between entrepreneurs, starting from a recognition of the various types of outsourcing with the related needs and main critical issues.
The survey focuses primarily on the transfer of businesses, examining European legislation and case-law and then moving on to internal legislation, trade union procedures and a specific focus on the transfer of companies in crisis.
The author then dwells on the contract, taking into account in particular the indications of authenticity, the criteria of distinction from the illicit administration of labour and the protection of workers in the event of turnover between companies.
Finally, the research deepens the "social clauses", both first and second generation, assessing their compatibility with European law and with the constitution and reflecting on possible remedies in case of their violation
Michelangelo Unveiled. Bussotti’s «Nottetempo»
No full textA particularly representative example of the frequent thematisation of all-round eroticism in Bussotti’s operas is Nottetempo, “a one-fragment lyrical drama based on Varagine, Michelangelo and Sophocles”. Commissioned by the Teatro alla Sca- la, the opera debuted at the Teatro Lirico in Milan on 7 April 1976 in a diptych with Oggetto amato, marking the birth of BussottiOperaBallet.
The chapter investigates how queerness permeates this original reinterpretation of a classical myth. Elements of the plot and the scenography designed by Bussotti for the premiere are explained in terms of the author’s wish to underscore the homoerotic desire.
The aria sung by the protagonist in the section Nottetempo – the third of the four parts into which the work is divided – is read in light of Bussotti’s intent to underscore the erotic charge of the passage. Quotations from Michelangelo’s Rime, from Heimito von Doderer’s «The Lighted Windows» and from a story by Aldo Palazzeschi are also read in this context.
Lastly, some excerpts from the press review of the première are discussed to highlight how most journalists harshly criticised the opera because of its contro- versial topic
Ultra Low Carbon Vehicles: New Parameters for Automotive Design
No full textAs the influence of vehicle emissions on our environment has become better understood, the UK government has recently placed urgent emphasis on the implementation of low carbon
technologies in the automotive industry through: the UK Low Carbon Industrial Strategy. The overall objective is to offer big incentives to consumers and support for the development of infrastructure and engineering solutions. This scheme however does not consider how the development of functional and experiential user value might drive consumer demand, contributing to the adoption of low carbon vehicles (LCVs) in the mass market.
With the emergence of the North East of England as the UK’s first specialised region for the development of ultra-low carbon vehicles (ULCVs), ONE North East, as a development agency for the region's economic and business development, and Northumbria University Ideas-lab have supported a project to facilitate innovation through the collaboration of technology, research and development (R&D) and business. The High Value Low Carbon (HVLC) project aims to envisage
new user value made possible by the integration of low carbon vehicle platforms with new process and network technologies. The HVLC consortium represents vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers as well as technology based companies and through an ongoing process of design concept generation the project offers a hub for innovation led enterprise.
Whilst new technological developments in areas such as power generation, nano materials, hydrogen fuel cells, printed electronics and networked communications will all impact on future automotive design, the mass adoption of low carbon technologies represents a paradigm shift for the motorist. This paper aims to describe how the mapping of new parameters will lead to new transport scenarios that will create the space for new collaborative research on user experiences supported by innovative technologies and related services
