Episode 105 - Aimi Hamraie
No full textThis episode begins our new mini-series on bodies and embodiment. Leah Marion Roberts, senior graduate teaching fellow at the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching, interviews experts who can help us understand why paying attention to bodies in teaching and learning spaces is important. The episodes explore how theories of the body make sense of social life and inequity; how learning is sensory, experiential, physical and emotional; how educators can incorporate embodied practices into their classrooms to enhance learning; and the relationships between bodies and technology.
On this first installment, Leah talks with Aimi Hamraie, associate professor of medicine, health, and society and of American studies here at Vanderbilt University. They direct the Critical Design Lab and host the Contra* podcast on disability, design justice, and the lifeworld. They are also the author of Building Access: University Design and the Politics of Disability from the University of Minnesota Press. Aimi is trained as an intersectional feminist scholar, and their work focuses on disability, accessibility, and design.
In the interview, Aimi shares some key conceptions of embodied learning from their interdisciplinary perspective, discusses the intersection of bodies and learning and technology, and provides some very interesting examples of teaching practices that tap into embodied learning
Decomposition of a planar vector field into irrotational and rotational components
No full textA formulation of the boundary value problem in a finite domain for the scalar potential and
the stream function is given: the basic decomposition equation is assumed as boundary
condition. The problem is singular: the existence of solutions, which are determined up
to conjugate harmonic functions, is proved. The basic properties of the spectrum of the
homogeneous operator associated to the boundary value problem for the potentials are
derived. The discrete equations are obtained by means of the finite volume method. It is
verified that the main properties of the continuous problem are maintained in the discrete
equations. We address the computation of minimum norm solutions, which are obtained
by means of the SVD algorithm. Numerical experiments have been performed in different
situations of the assigned vector field (presence of zero points, size of the finite domain,
degree of stochasticity of the field) to estimate the effects on the decomposition–
reconstruction operations
Hemoperitoneum following sexual intercourse in a woman with deep infiltrating endometriosis
No full textEndometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease, defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at ectopic sites. A rare and life-threatening complication associated with endometriosis is represented by spontaneous hemoperitoneum due to the rupture of utero-ovarian vessels. Most cases of spontaneous hemoperitoneum previously described involved pregnant women affected by endometriosis; here, we present a case of acute and massive hemoperitoneum in a nulliparous woman with deep infiltrating endometriosis. When acute abdominal pain with hemoperitoneum occurs in non-gravid reproductive age women, with no positive findings for liver or spleen lesions, a possible spontaneous rupture of utero-ovarian vessels related to the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis should be included among the possible causes of the condition
Scuola canonicale e filologia liturgica
No full textIl contributo analizza il codice Angelica 123 dal punto di vista liturgico, geografico-cultuale e filologico. Esso è frutto di una ripresa arcaizzante del testo neogelasiano, in contrapposizione al Pontificale romano; il tropario lascia trasparire una stretta relazione con la Toscana, Arezzo in particolare, e Ravenna. Dal punto di vista filologico, iconografico e musicologico il codice dimostra di essere un superbo prodotto della scuola canonicale bolognese
