    La mappa e il territorio. Ripensare l’educazione fra strada e scuola

    No full text
    Per necessità professionale molti insegnanti si aggrappano alle proprie mappe, all’ordine immutabile delle proprie discipline nel tentativo di ordinare la caotica realtà di una classe di giovani che apprendono (accettate provvisoriamente che gli allievi siano a scuola per apprendere e che lo facciano realmente). Ma non si può amare una mappa: nel momento stesso in cui il nostro sguardo perde di vista la realtà a cui la mappa si riferisce tutto il sape- re viene devitalizzato e con esso la relazione tra gli allievi ed il proprio insegnante. Se vogliamo fare il mestiere di educatori dobbiamo amare il mondo e, se questo accade, anche le mappe più improbabili, meno colorate, acquisteranno bellezza, profondità e significato. Dunque noi Maestri di Strada ci siamo collocati saldamente dalla parte del territorio e da quella posizione pretendiamo di dare delle indicazioni ai cartografi del sapere e dell’educazione avendo come guida sicura il cuore che ama il mondo e una mente che ha imparato a compiere continui viaggi tra mappa e territorio. In questo libro sono raccontate significative esperienze dei Maestri di Strada nella loro relazione con il territorio e sono discusse importanti questioni psicopedagogiche connesse al tema della responsabilità educativa nella complessità sociale e culturale dell’oggi

Di Iorio 2012” [handwritten by Di Iorio on white paper inside a black frame, except “det.” printed]. Holotype. Length between anterior margin of pronotum and the elytral apices, 19.2 mm; maximal width between humeri, 12.3 mm. General color orange on dorsum; pronotum with diffused dark oval spots; elytra with small and irregular dark spots. Ventral side with indefinite, dull, light brown-orange color, as well as in the legs and dorsum of the first two tarsomeres of mesotarsi and metatarsi, except glossy dark brown color of the integument in the ventral side of the three pairs of femora and tibiae, the apex of all tibiae, the remaining tarsomeres of the tarsi, and the mesosternal process. Clypeus angulate between the anterior and lateral margins, anterior margin slightly reflexed, with sparse, round punctures on dorsum. Protibia with small lateral teeth, the first at middle of its length, very small, poorly indicated. Setae light yellow in color on the venter, as well as on legs. Pygidium strongly sculptured, with wide vermiform markings in the anterior half, sparser and smaller, C-shaped towards apex. Paratypes: Length between anterior margin of pronotum and the elytral apices, 13.7 mm to 19.9 mm; maximal width between humeri, 9.2 mm to 13.2 mm. Females without sexual dimorphism (abdominal sternites with the same ventral color as in the males). Parameres as in Fig. 54 (paratype from Sachayoj, Santiago del Estero). Both paratypes from Charata, Chaco have more intense orange color on the dorsum (Fig. 48). Remarks: The most similar species, G. litigiosa, can be distinguished by its general grey color on the dorsum and nearly black on the venter; the clypeus is rounded between the anterior and lateral margins; the head has dense, round punctures; the protibia has the first tooth larger and well developed; the pygidium has fine and anastomizing vermiform markings; and the paremeres are distinct (Fig. 53). The lighter specimens of G. chalcipes (Fig. 45) may be distinguised by the cupreous shine on the venter and tarsi, the different ornamentation on the pygidium, and the shape of the male parameres (Fig. 52). Etymology: The name hepatica, given by Burmeister in allusion to the general russet coloration, is maintained here in memorian of his work on the group. Note 1: The lectotype of Paragymnetis rubrocincta Schürhoff, 1937, illustrated by Ratcliffe (2004: Fig. 32), shows that the identification by Ratcliffe of one specimen of G. hepatica at MLPA as “ Gymnetis / heiroglyphica / rubrocincta Schur. ” was erroneous.

Dorsal bristles long, more dense on head, antennal segments I and II (Fig. 2), sides of pronotum (continued towards the posterior margin) (Figs. 3–4), hemelytral pads, and at apical half of each abdominal segment; these intermixed with very short setae. Lb2 distinguishable by its greater length and its more internal base (Figs. 3– 4). Venter with more sparse and shorter bristles, with a long hair at the latero-apical angle of each ventrite. Legs with long and thick bristles (Fig. 6). Females with a very small and reduced apical tuft of hairs on front tibiae and absent in middle tibiae; males with apical tufts of hairs in front and middle tibiae.</p> <p>Clypeus strongly widened, subquadrangular, more than 1/2 as wide as interocular space, with many long setae (Fig. 2). Head disk rugose, with a few bristles on each side near eyes and at middle. Eyes small, separated from the anterior margin of pronotum by a distance subequal to their width (Fig. 2). Antennae about equal to width of head; second segment longest, greater than interocular space (Table 1, Fig. 2), I and II thick, and III and IV slender, these ones slightly shorter than segment II and subequal among them. Rostrum reaching middle of front coxae; first and third segments subequal, second slightly shorter and wider.</p> <p>Pronotum nearly 3 times as wide as long, and about 3/5 again as wide as head; sides extremely arcuate, rounded; posterolateral angles rounded; anterior margin concave; posterior margin slightly convex; sides with a series of marginal long bristles (Figs. 3–4).</p> <p>Hemelytral pads short; twice as wide as long, contiguous only at base; broadly rounded at sides and convergent posteriorly; sides depressed before margins, with sparse long bristles (Figs. 3–4).

In <i>Cyanolicimex,</i> A2> pIS> aIS is clearly longer than the A 2 in <i>Psitticimex</i> (Fig. 2 and Fig. 16 respectively). Affinities of <i>Cyanolicimex</i> are unclear, because some characters are shared with other South American genera: the absence of the apical tufts of hair in the middle tibia of the females (<i>Ornithocoris</i>); A2> aIS (<i>Psitticimex</i>); the maximum width of the pronotum in the middle of its length (<i>Acanthocrios</i> and <i>Psitticimex</i>); the shape of the spermalege, extended anteriorly (<i>Psitticimex</i>); and one species of Psittacidae as a host (<i>Psitticimex</i>). On the other hand, <i>Cyanolicimex</i> shows some similarities with <i>Hesperocymex</i> List, 1925 from the Nearctic Region. In this latter genus, the pronotum has very long bristles at the lateral margins, the posterolateral angles of the pronotum are rounded, and the apical tufts of hair are absent in the front and middle tibiae of the females (Usinger 1966). <i>Hesperocymex</i> was considered as a more derived genus in the Nearctic Region (Ueshima 1966), and <i>Cyanolicimex</i> seems to be its counterpart in the Neotropical Region.</p> <p> The phylogeny of the Haematosiphoninae, first proposed by Usinger (1966), and later modified by Di Iorio <i>et al</i>. (2008) and Poggio <i>et al</i>. (2009), should be modified again with the tentative incorporation of <i>Cyanolicimex</i> as the sister genus of <i>Psitticimex</i> (Fig. 8). A further cytogenetic study of <i>C. patagonicus</i> will confirm if its chromosome number and sexual mechanism are similar to <i>Psitticimex</i>, as is suggested by its position in the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 8).</p>Published as part of <i>Iorio, Osvaldo Di, Turienzo, Paola, Masello, Juan & Carpintero, Diego L., 2010, Insects found in birds' nests from Argentina.

    Can you do the wrong thing and still be right? Hypothesis Testing in I(2) and near-I(2) cointegrated VARs

    No full text
    We review the I(2) model with a focus on its application to near-I(2) data, i.e. I(1) data with a second root very close to unity, and report the results of some Monte Carlo experiments. We show that with I(2) data tests on the long-run coefficients in the I(2) model have small sample properties consistent with asymptotic results. More importantly, we show also that with near-I(2) data the properties of the tests are (i) similar to those found with genuine I(2) data, (ii) systematically superior to those of the analogous tests constructed in the I(1) model, even if the latter is in principle correctly specified and the former is not. Our results thus provide strong support to the suggestion to model near-I(2) data using the I(2) model
