Ferrarotti: Histoire et histoires de vie
No full textEl llibre que tenim a les nostres mans i que comentem a continuació és la traducció francesa del text escrit originàriament en italià i publicat l\u27any 1981 per l’editorial Laterza (Roma-Bari). L\u27autor és un conegut sociòleg que treballa en la línia de dotar a la Sociologia d\u27una metodologia que permeti un aprofundiment qualitatiu, en contraposició a l\u27ús i abús de les dades quantitatives: les històries de vida són l\u27instrument principal que Ferrarotti fa servir per aquesta finalitat. El subjecte de la publicació és, de fet, una presentació de l\u27estratègia metodològica vinculada a la utilització de biografies com a principal font d\u27obtenció de dades
Historias de vida y Ciencias Sociales. Entrevista a Franco Ferrarotti
No full textA La autonomía del método biográfico, las historias de vida como praxis interactiva, el carácter participativo de la investigación con fuentes orales, la propuesta de leer una sociedad a través de una biografía, son principios epistemológicos cuyos fundamentos teóricos deben bastante a las aportaciones del sociólogo italiano Franco Ferrarotti. Catedrático en la Universidad de Roma "La Sapienza", el autor se inscribe en la rica tradición de la escuela italiana de historia oral, que desde Gramsci, De Martino y Bosio ha utilizado las autobiografías como un acceso privilegiado a las clases subalternas. Sus libros Storia e storie di vita (1981) y La storia e il quotidiano (1985) constituyen obras fundamentales para los que trabajan con fuentes orales. La presente entrevista recoge los planteamientos del autor sobre la relación entre historias de vida y ciencias sociales.The autonomy of the biographical method, the interactive praxis of life stories, the participative character of the research based on oral sources, the proposal of reading a society through biographies, are all epistemological principles which theoretical foundations are in debt with the contributions of Italian sociologist Franco Ferrarotti. Chair of the Università di Roma "La Sapienza", the author belongs to the rich tradition of Italian school of oral history, that from Gramsci, De Martino and Bosio has used the autobiographies as a privileged acces to the subaltern classes. His books Storia e storie di vita (1981) and La storia e il quotidiano (1985) are basic works for researchers using oral sources. The present interview gathers the author's ideas about the relationship between life stories and social sciences

Bilingualism and language contact in 16th-century Northern Italy. Some external evidence for the phonological history of French
No full textThe paper aims to present some lesser-known evidence relevant to the phonological history of French gathered through the bilingual texts in the Opera Jocunda by Giovan Giorgio Alione, published in Asti, Piedmont, Northern Italy, in 1521. In these texts, French is spelled using the graphemic system that the author employed primarily to write in his native Gallo-Italian dialect, thus rendering French phonetically transparent through linguistic comparison. This makes it possible to sketch a phonetic profile of the French known to the author at the end of the Middle French period. The evidence gathered seems to point to a more conservative variety if compared to the commonly reconstructed relative chronology of the phonological history of French. Some hypotheses in a framework of historical sociolinguistics and language contact are put forward to explain this discrepancy
Rare variants in alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency: a systematic literature review
No full textBackground: Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a largely underrecognized genetic condition characterized by low Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (AAT) serum levels, resulting from variations in SERPINA1. Many individuals affected by AATD are thought to be undiagnosed, leading to poor patient outcomes. The Z (c.1096G > A; p.Glu366Lys) and S (c.863A > T; p.Glu288Val) deficiency variants are the most frequently found variants in AATD, with the Z variant present in most individuals diagnosed with AATD. However, there are many other less frequent variants known to contribute to lung and/or liver disease in AATD. To identify the most common rare variants associated with AATD, we conducted a systematic literature review with the aim of assessing AATD variation patterns across the world. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed to identify published studies reporting AATD/SERPINA1 variants. Study eligibility was assessed for the potential to contain relevant information, with quality assessment and data extraction performed on studies meeting all eligibility criteria. AATD variants were grouped by variant type and linked to the geographical region identified from the reporting article. Results: Of the 4945 articles identified by the search string, 864 contained useful information for this study. Most articles came from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Collectively, the articles identified a total of 7631 rare variants and 216 types of rare variant across 80 counties. The F (c.739C > T; p.Arg247Cys) variant was identified 1,281 times and was the most reported known rare variant worldwide, followed by the I (c.187C > T; p.Arg63Cys) variant. Worldwide, there were 1492 Null/rare variants that were unidentified at the time of source article publication and 75 rare novel variants reported only once. Conclusion: AATD goes far beyond the Z and S variants, suggesting there may be widespread underdiagnosis of patients with the condition. Each geographical region has its own distinctive variety of AATD variants and, therefore, comprehensive testing is needed to fully understand the true number and type of variants that exist. Comprehensive testing is also needed to ensure accurate diagnosis, optimize treatment strategies, and improve outcomes for patients with AATD
I dialetti del Piemonte orientale. Contatto e mutamento linguistico
No full textThis study analyzes the historical and sociolinguistic dynamics of dialect contact among Galloitalic dialects in Eastern Piedmont, which have been reconstructed with the analysis of several linguistic features. They have been examined at several levels of linguistic analysis, with special attention to the diatopic and diachronic variation. The study makes use of a great array of sources for linguistic data, such as field interviews, linguistic atlases, descriptive grammars, and historical texts
Farrell, Thomas S. C.. Reflective language teaching: from research to practice
No full textIl testo presenta una combinazione di suggerimenti pratici, gli ultimi risultati nell’ambito della ricerca e molti casi studio che riguardano la didattica linguistica riflessiva. Ciascuno dei 14 capitoli che compongono il volume sviluppa e discute i vari aspetti della didattica linguistica riflessiva e fornisce una visione completa del tema. I primi sette capitoli descrivono ciò che la didattica linguistica riflessiva comporta, con la presentazione di numerose tecniche utili, che possono essere vantaggiosamente adottate per aumentare l’autocoscienza di un singolo insegnante e per migliorare la propria pratica di insegnamento. I restanti capitoli discutono la didattica linguistica riflessiva presentandola come un valido strumento che può essere utilizzato in collaborazione con altri docenti per garantire un miglioramento generale delle pratiche d’insegnamento. Tale miglioramento includerebbe, tra i vari aspetti, il monitoraggio dello stile d’insegnamento, la condivisione di idee su episodi critici e problematiche.This book presents a combination of practical suggestions, the latest research findings, and an abundance of case studies
concerning reflective language teaching. Moreover, each of the fourteen chapters in the volume develops and discusses
various aspects of reflective language teaching, providing a well-rounded and comprehensive view of the topic. The first seven
chapters illustrate what reflective language teaching entails by means of a number of useful techniques that can be profitably
adopted to enhance an individual teacher’s self-awareness and to improve his or her teaching practice. The remaining
chapters discuss reflective language teaching as an effective tool that can be adopted at an institution-wide level in an effort to
guarantee overall improvement in teaching practices, which include monitoring one’s teaching style, sharing ideas on critical
classroom events and issues, being informed about the latest teaching techniques, and overcoming a sense of isolation
Heat Release Rate Markers for the Adelaide Jet in Hot Coflow Flame
No full textIn the present work, the correlation between the Heat Releaser Rate (HRR) and species mole fractions and net reaction rates is studied. The PaSR closure model is employed in a RANS framework to implement a detailed kinetic scheme, including the excited species OH*, used as a HRR marker. The effect of oxygen dilution on the combustion regime is investigated, as it can lead to Moderate or Intense Low-Oxygen Dilution (MILD) conditions. Two cases with different levels of oxygen concentration are analyzed. The results suggest the possibility of combining chemical species to construct an appropriate scalar to achieve better correlation with the HRR. It is found that typical markers such as radicals O, OH, OH* correlate fairly well with the HRR but improved correlations can be achieved with appropriate species mole fractions combinations, particularly for the MILD region of the flame.This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 714605.
