    L'informe deviare del corpo. Note riflessive sull'espressione grafica di Francesca Magro.

    No full text
    Nell'opera di Francesca Magro si può osservare una generalizzata idea educativa della devianza (figurativa e umana). L’arditezza estetica evoca il peso della separatezza, della rottura e dell’allontanamento dal primigenio senso organico del tutto, e lo fa elegantemente con sensibili graffi, ripetuti, avvolgenti, sensuali, insistenti, profondamente catalizzanti l’intimo sguardo del dialogante. L’intero è spezzato e la diversità interiore è regnante. La scomposta anatomia dei corpi – pezzi di corpi assemblati – è tenuta insieme da elettroniche metafore neuro-immaginative, informatiche, cibernetiche

    GO! geographical ontology

    No full text
    GO! (Geographical Ontology) ontology has been developed by Claudia Corcione, Paola De Caro and Silvia naro, with the collaboration of Diego Magro, Timothy Tambassi and Maurizio Lana for the research project “Geolat – geography for Latin literature”. It describes the geographical locations, with a particular attention to the description of the Ancient World, especially to give the opportunity of having a link between the places mentioned in the texts, especially ancient, and their identification and correspondence with contemporary ones. For classical scholars this correspondence of ancient / contemporary modelling is of undisputed interest, both for the study of the habits of the most ancient peoples, and for the most various themes of literary interest. Through ontologies you can build maps of the ancient world and compare them to contemporary ones, annotate historical, geographical, cultural details connected to the place, indicate in which ancient text the place is mentioned and as which author discloses the details. These are just some ideas for research that can be developed, but the scenario that opens through these connections will be much larger. The GO! modules contain numerous classes and relations and differ in the specific entities defined in them, and are connected by a Top Level ontology - GO TOP ( http://purl.org/geolit/GO-TOP ): • an ontology that describes the physical and natural places ( http://purl.org/geolit/GO-PHY ) • an anthropic ontology, in which are specified all administrative bodies and artifacts created by human activity ( http://purl.org/geolit/GO-HUM )an • an ontology for the ancient world, which describes the specific aspects ( http://purl.org/geolit/GO-FAR ), where FAR means For Ancient Resources. The GO! ontology serves as an information base for the platform of the project GeoLat. The GO! modelling choices took into account the needs which the ontology must meet, allowing to add a range of additional information about the geographical place, through the inclusion of ad hoc relationships, in particular it is possible to express: • the correspondence with the places listed by Pleiades (historical online gazetteer http://pleiades.stoa.org/) • the physical and cultural characteristics shown in the Barrington Atlas • the source where the ancient place is mentioned (with philological reference) • the geographical coordinates of corresponding contemporary sites • a description of historical events (wars, defeats ...) • the changes of the place (e.g. a village which becomes a city) • the hypotesized location of imaginary places (such as Hades) • the physical and geopolitical description of the place These are only some of the potentialities of the GO! ontology, which incorporates some standard ontologies (for example GeoSPARQL), so as to be more easily shared and reused, because the quality of the ontology and the project in its entirety resides in its widespread use, in order to become a benchmark for the projects that link to the geographical description

    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors: a prospective clinicopathologic and outcome study of 13 children

    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) are benign intracortical masses that are typically observed in children and young adults and are classified as glioneuronal tumors (WHO grade I). Large and retrospective series of patients with DNETs have been reported, but prospective studies on pediatric cohorts of patients with DNETs have been lacking. In the present study, 13 children (8 boys, 5 girls; age 8-18 years) who had simple (n = 2) or complex (n = 11) partial seizures (seizure duration range, 2-4 years; mean, 1.5 years; mode, 1.2 years) were prospectively enrolled and monitored over 13 years. The DNETs were located in the frontal (n = 2), temporal (n = 9), or occipital (n = 2) cortex. In 11/13 cases, the seizures were resistant to drug therapy, and all the children had surgery consisting of extended lesionectomy coupled with neuronavigation. Pathology examination revealed cortical dysplasia (n = 8), glial nodules (n = 11), calcification (n = 4), cellular atypia (n = 3), endothelial proliferation (n = 1), perivascular inflammation (n = 3), and meningeal involvement (n = 6). All children were seizure free throughout postsurgical follow-up of 2-11 years. This first prospective study with follow-up monitoring of a childhood population with DNETs confirms, on a long-term basis, that the coupled strategy of extended lesionectomy and neuronavigation has good outcome for long-term seizure control

    Soft skills have received a great Attention with respect to various methods of evaluation. However, there are still few studies about statistically significant methods for to be able to train them. The embodied cognition allows pose a theory of how these would be identified from the awareness of embodied abilities that have to be developed and maintained in a context socio-cultural history to bring them to a level superior in stages mediated by interoception. This theory put forward by the author of the present report has been put to the test in a program that has been applied to thirteen university students and whose results, contrasted with a control group, have been significant with respect to levels of nervousness (t = -3,379 Sig. =, 003) Mindfulness (t = 4,762 Sig. =, 000) Levels of cognition (t = 5,560 Sig. =, 000) Coping with academic stress (t =2,802 Sig. =, 014) and reactions to academic stress (t = -4.614Sig. =, 000). When looking for the effects at reactions to academic stress it was found that levels of cognition, program variable, not only predicts them better (Linear R2 = 0.669) but that acts as a mediating variable of coping of academic stress and reactions to stress academic (BootLLCI = -. 7933 BootULCI = -. and indirect effect of -.4439). Checking the effectiveness of the program and the possibility of develop this theory.Las habilidades blandas han recibido una gran atención con respecto a diversos métodos de evaluación. Sin embargo, aún hay pocos estudios sobre métodos estadísticamente significativos para poder entrenarlas. La cognición corporizada permite plantear una teoría de cómo estas se identificarían desde la conciencia de habilidades encarnadas que han de desarrollarse y mantenerlas en un contexto histórico socio-cultural para llevarlas a un nivel superior en etapas mediadas por la interocepción. Esta teoría planteada por el autor del presente informe se ha puesto a prueba en un programa que ha sido aplicado a trece alumnos universitarios y cuyos resultados, contrastados con un grupo control, han sido significativos con respecto a niveles de nerviosismo (t = -3,379 Sig.= ,003) Atención plena (t = 4,762 Sig.= ,000) Niveles de cognición (t = 5,560 Sig.= ,000) Afrontamiento del estrés académico (t = 2,802 Sig.= ,014) y reacciones al estrés académico (t = -4,614Sig.= ,000). Al buscar los efectos a las reacciones al estrés académico se encontró que los niveles de cognición, variable del programa, no solo las predice mejor (R2 Lineal=0,669) sino que actúa como variable mediadora del afrontamiento del estrés académico y las reacciones al estrés académico (BootLLCI=-.7933 BootULCI=-.2247 y efecto indirecto de -.4439). Comprobando la efectividad del programa y la posibilidad de desarrollar esta teoría
