A Conversation with Francis J DiSalvo
No full textVideographer & Producer: J. Robert Cooke"A Conversation with Francis J DiSalvo" is a contribution from the Oral History Project of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Frank DiSalvo, the John A. Newman Professor of Physical Science and Director of the Center for a Sustainable Future, is interviewed by Héctor D. Abruña, the Emile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell. This wide-ranging conversation explores the influences from early childhood forward that led DiSalvo to a career in science, how his pathway took many interesting but unanticipated turns and how he came to Cornell. This also describes his approach to leadership in science and his latest challenge as Director of the David R. Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. New graduate students should find this to be a useful introduction to the realm of scientific research. Running time: 64 minutes. Three alternative QuickTime versions (H.264 codec) for the web and for mobile devices are included.1_l61cbry

No full textEn este texto, la gran literatura infantil-juvenil será tratada por Santiago Disalvo. Así, propondrá estudiar a J. R. R. Tolkien, el autor de la famosa saga El señor de los anillos, a través de la contribución crítica de destacados estudiosos de la historia cultural de la Edad Media como Erich Kohler. De igual manera, dedicará varias páginas a otra obra significativa como es El hobbit.Fil: Disalvo, Santiago. Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación.

Il ripensamento di una pratica nel corso della pandemia. Il tirocinio a distanza del Centro di Ricerca e Studio per l’Infanzia dell’Università di Foggia
No full textIl contributo illustra le evidenze emerse dall’esperienza di ridefinizione del percorso di tirocinio formativo del Centro di Ricerca e Studio per l’Infanzia dell’Università di Foggia, nell’ambito dei Corsi di Laurea L-19 e LM-85, in seguito all’avvento dell’emergenza sanitaria da COVID-19. A partire dall’analisi del contesto, si approfondiscono le ragioni delle strategie di implementazione delle attività, con particolare riferimento all’esercizio delle capacità riflessive d e i / d e l l e f u t u r i / e p r o f e s s i o n i s t i / e dell’educazione. Tra le diverse strategie, ruolo cruciale è stato svolto dalla figura del tutor online di tirocinio e dall’utilizzo del diario riflessivo. In ultima analisi vengono illustrate le evidenze emerse dalla lettura ermeneutica dei questionari finali compilati dagli/dalle studenti/esse tirocinanti. Enucleate in punti di forza e di debolezza, le evidenze permettono di definire criteri di migliorabilità e delineare aspetti significativi del percorso di tirocinio realizzato
Polis crisis, ecosystemic resilience, and schools. What strategies to support Italian teachers?
No full textThe contribution intends to propose a pedagogical and ecosystemic reading of the crises affecting the polis today. In particular, the repercussions they have on the epistemologies, i.e. the way of understanding reality, of high school teachers will be problematised. Pedagogical supervision is identified as a possible coping strategy for the difficulties experienced in school contexts. Such difficulties, which are eminently relational, call teachers to adopt genuinely transformative epistemological postures that return them to the role of resilient mentors in their students’ lives
A Conversation with Héctor D. Abruña
No full textThis is an oral history interview in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.“A Conversation with Héctor D. Abruña” is a contribution from the Oral History Project of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. Héctor D. Abruña (known to his friends as Tito; which derives from the diminutive of his first name in Spanish “Hectitor”), the Emile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell is interviewed by his long-time friend and colleague, Prof. Frank DiSalvo, the John A. Newman Professor of Physical Science and Director of the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. This wide-ranging conversation, between two long-time friends, colleagues and collaborators, explores the influences from Tito’s early childhood, growing up in Puerto Rico, the people who inspired and encouraged him to pursue a career in science and how, through a series of less than direct turns, he came to Cornell in 1983. It also describes the evolution of fuel cell and battery research, starting with a joint project and the Cornell Fuel Cell Institute, to the current Energy Materials Center at Cornell (emc2). It also describes his years as Chair of the department (2004-2008) and how the Department has changed through the past three decades.1_8ym09oh
Occurence of Bechstein's bat Myotis bechsteini (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) in Sicily.
No full textThe bat fauna of Sicily is still poorly known and no extensive survey of these mammals
on the island has been so far carried out. Here we report on the occurrence of Bechstein’s bat
(Myotis bechsteinii) on the island. We recorded this species’ presence at two sites of the Nebrodi
mountains (central Sicily) at an elevation of ca. 1500 m a.s.l. The occurrence of M. bechsteinii in
Sicily has been regarded as doubtful and not mentioned in recent checklists. Our observations
clearly establish that this species does occur on the island and awaits appropriate consideration
for conservation actions
