Jay Sarno Roundtable
No full textAudio of the 3/2/2014 UNLV Libraries Jay Sarno Roundtable. Jay Sarno did more than build two of the most iconic casinos in the world, Caesars Palace and Circus Circus. He created the mold for modern Las Vegas. In this panel discussion, those who knew him best will talk about his contributions and his quirks. Panelists include: Oscar Goodman, Mel Larson, Dana Gentry, Jay C. Sarno, September Sarno, Freddie Sarno, and Heidi Sarno Straus. The panel is moderated by CGR Director and Grandissimo author David G. Schwartz
Patrimoni sonori della Toscana: il soundscape dello Scoppio del Carro a Firenze
No full textIl saggio propone una osservazione e descrizione della dimensione acustica del rito pasquale fiorentino dello Scoppio del Carro intesa in termini di paesaggio sonoro. Dopo una ricognizione breve ma sistematica delle fonti che permettono di delineare le progressive configurazioni del rito nella sua lunga storia, sono individuati gli elementi costituitivi del paesaggio sonoro dello Scoppio del Carro in relazione alle componenti della drammaturgia rituale complessiva. Obiettivo del contributo è mostrare in che termini ed entro quale misura il suono possa evidenziare negoziati simbolici e valoriali sottesi all’espressione rituale, anche in riferimento a quanto avvenuto nel periodo della pandemia. Si devono a Daniele Palma l’introduzione (pp. 180-182) e il paragrafo “Suoni della liturgia” (pp. 190-192); a Giulia Sarno, i paragrafi “Lo Scoppio del Carro: cenni storici per un inquadramento del rito” (pp. 183-188) e “Suoni del gioco pirotecnico” (pp. 199-205); ad Antonella Dicuonzo e Ludovico Peroni, in “Suoni dei cortei”, rispettivamente le pagine 192-195 e 196-199. Le conclusioni sono il frutto di una riflessione collettiva
Introduction: Understanding a pandemic through sound
No full textThis introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses mainly on the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, analysing the processes and issues that sound and music embodied during that period. The editors' introduction focuses on pandemic silence, processes of mediatisation of reality, musicking as a technology of the self, changing perceptions of time and values associated to memory
Frog Gonad as bio-indicator of Sarno River Health
No full textThe Sarno River is affected by an extreme environmental degradation as a result of uncontrolled agricultural activities and the outflow of industrial waste. Changes in the abundance indexes and biodiversity of frogs can be used as a measuring tool to determine water quality of the Sarno River. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the potential in using frog tissue as environmental indicators and to monitor changes in water quality of local streams in the development area of Sarno River. Thus, many samples are collected from sedi-ment, water and frogs for metals analysis. To identify any differentiations of bioaccumulation of metals we have been analyzed skin and gonad of the more representative frog specie along the Sarno river, the barcoded Pelophylax bergeri. Results show that the degree of pol-lution in the Sarno river varies by zone, as well as by metal to metal, with contents that often are very elevated in frogs and higher in water than sediment. The concentrations of heavy metals, especially Arsenic (As) Chromium (Cr) and Zinc (Zn) were found higher in testis than skin of the collected frogs. Therefore, our results sustain the important role of frog gonads as a good bio-indicator of pollution. Frogs, Pelo-phylax bergeri, and water of Sarno River are very contaminated by arsenic and need to be urgently remediated
Sounds of the pandemic: Accounts, experiences, perspectives in times of COVID-19
No full textSounds of the Pandemic offers one of the first critical analyses of the changes in sonic environments, artistic practice, and listening behaviour caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. This multifaceted collection provides a detailed picture of a wide array of phenomena related to sound and music, including soundscapes, music production, music performance, and mediatisation processes in the context of COVID-19. It represents a first step to understanding how the pandemic and its by-products affected sound domains in terms of experiences and practices, representations, collective imaginaries, and socio-political manipulations. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners working in the realms of music production and performance, musicology and ethnomusicology, sound studies, and media and cultural studies
La criticità della relazione con il sovrasistema imprenditoriale per il governo del territorio
No full textToward a new paradigm in open economy modeling: where do we stand?
No full textThis paper provides a selective, up-to-date survey of the recent, fast-growing literature on new open economy macroeconomics. Lucio Sarno begins with a review of the seminal paper in this literature, describing the baseline model proposed therein. He then covers a number of variants and generalizations of the baseline model involving the allowance for nominal rigidities, pricing to market, alternative preference specifications, and alternative financial markets structures. The author also discusses the recent stochastic extensions of these models, especially focusing on their implications for the link between risk and exchange rates and on new directions for the relevant literature.Econometric models ; Macroeconomics
The terraced houses of the Insula Meridionalis (VIII, 2) and of the Insula Occidentalis in Pompeii.
No full textopenCon case terrazzate si intendono tutte quelle case che presentano uno o più piani sotterranei articolati su terrazze costruite seguendo il pendio naturale del terreno su cui sono edificate. Gli esempi meglio conservati sono a Roma, a Ercolano e a Pompei1.
A Pompei le case terrazzate compaiono alla fine del II secolo a.C. lungo il confine sud-occidentale, favorite dalla morfologia del terreno. Con la defunzionalizzazione della cinta muraria, avvenuta alla fine del I secolo a.C., si assiste all’espansione delle terrazze già presenti o alla costruzione di nuovi piani, realizzati inglobando il pomerio e riutilizzando i materiali all’interno delle abitazioni stesse.
Ai civici 17-21 dell’Insula 2 della Regio VIII si trova il Complesso del Sarno, edificio a sei piani che costituisce un unicum nell’intero panorama edile pompeiano: noto anche come Terme del Sarno, è proprio il piano termale al terzo livello inferiore a renderlo famoso. In questa sede, dopo una breve analisi della struttura dell’edificio, ci si concentrerà sulle abitazioni dell’Insula Occidentalis (Regio VI e Regio VII) e dell’Insula Meridionalis (Regio VIII, Insula II), con l’intento di analizzare le soluzioni adottate e verificare la presenza di modelli architettonico-costruttivi.By terraced houses we mean all those houses that have one or more underground floors articulated on terraces built following the natural slope of the land on which they are built. The best preserved examples are in Rome, Herculaneum and Pompeii1.
At Pompeii terraced houses appear in the late 2nd century BC along the southwestern boundary, favored by the morphology of the terrain. With the defunctionalization of the city wall in the late 1st century BCE, there is the expansion of the terraces already present or the construction of new floors, made by incorporating the pomerio and reusing materials within the houses themselves.
At Nos. 17-21 of Insula 2 of Regio VIII is the Sarno Complex, a six-story building that constitutes a unicum in the entire Pompeian built environment: also known as the Sarno Baths, it is precisely the thermal floor on the third lower level that makes it famous.
Here, after a brief analysis of the structure of the building, we will focus on the dwellings of the Insula Occidentalis (Regio VI and Regio VII) and the Insula Meridionalis (Regio VIII, Insula II), with the intention of analyzing the solutions adopted and verifying the presence of architectural-constructive patterns
