Giovanni Maffei, Le apocalissi difficili. De Roberto Vittorini Pomilio Frasca
No full textNous sommes l’un de ces « vingt-cinq lecteurs » pronostiqués par Giovanni Maffei dans l’introduction (p. 29) pour son Le apocalissi difficili. De Roberto Vittorini Pomilio Frasca et nous ressentons le poids d’une responsabilité importante : rendre en peu de lignes la profondeur de cette œuvre, remarquable pour la finesse du regard et l’originalité de la perspective. Maffei nous livre aux mains du Temps : à travers la comparaison de quatre œuvres de quatre auteurs italiens bien différents app..
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Aging, Obesity, and Inflammatory Age-Related Diseases
No full textThe increase in the prevalence of obesity represents a worldwide phenomenon in all age groups and is pathologically and genetically correlated with several metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, representing the most frequent age-related diseases. Obesity superimposed on aging drastically increases chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging), which is an important link between obesity, insulin resistance, and age-associated diseases. Immune cells of both the innate and the adaptive immune systems infiltrate the adipose tissue (AT) and during obesity induce inflammatory responses associated with metabolic switches and changes in phenotypes and function of immune cell subsets. Obesity poses new health problems especially when it occurs in the context of other diseases, many of them frequently affect elderly subjects. An emerging problem is the decreased proportion of patients with obesity achieving clinical response to therapy. In this review, we will discuss the reciprocal influences of immune cell and AT inflammation in aging and age-associated diseases and the complex relationship of nutrient and energy-sensing homeostatic checkpoints, which contribute to shape the phenotype of the AT. We will specifically examine type-2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, cognitive impairment, and dementia, where obesity plays a significant role, also in shaping some clinical aspects
Imparare le lingue per abbracciare il mondo
No full textL’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

I MODELLI INFORMATIZZATI PER L'ARCHITETTURA. LEGGERE DOCUMENTARE COMUNICARE
No full textIl mutare degli apparati di elaborazione del progetto fa sì che il tema della rappresentazione dell'architettura si configuri, oggi, come argomento centrale sia se è finalizzato alle nuove figurazioni contemporanee, sia quando è rivolto alla restituzione di opere esistenti e non realizzate. La presenza, sempre più cospicua, di strumenti informatizzati applicati alla rappresentazione, ha indotto ad un ampliamento delle precipue valenze e dei contenuti della rappresentazione stessa, sempre più intesa nella sua accezione di rappresentazione digitale. Le ricerche tese all'approfondimento delle tematiche che mirano ad ampliare il concetto di rappresentazione tradizionale sono state determinanti e condizionanti per la definizione di un metodo di indagine critica dell'architettura applicabile alla logica dell'informatica. Tale metodologia si concretizza nell'elaborazione di modelli tridimensionali che assumono un ruolo cardine nella lettura critica dell'architettura ponendosi come strumento sincretico di indagine, visualizzazione e comunicazione. La costruzione del modello tridimensionale informatizzato ed esso stesso costituiscono, dunque, sul piano metodologico, un insieme di attività conoscitive che rendono possibile la decodificazione dell'architettura costruita o di "architetture in potenza"
Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal: atores, preocupações, padrão territorial e resoluções
No full textThis paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental
issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between
2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning
and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces
the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental
grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by
local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental
quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of
the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case
study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth
section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal
evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems
and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This
information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental
quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance
in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n. E05M053040B
