Roboception and adaptation in a cognitive robot
No full textIn robotics, perception is usually oriented at understanding what is happening in the external world, while few works pay attention to what is occurring in the robot’s body. In this work, we propose an artificial somatosensory system, embedded in a cognitive architecture, that enables a robot to perceive the sensations from its embodiment while executing a task. We called these perceptions roboceptions, and they let the robot act according to its own physical needs in addition to the task demands. Physical information is processed by the robot to behave in a balanced way, determining the most appropriate trade-off between the achievement of the task and its well being. The experiments show the integration of information from the somatosensory system and the choices that lead to the accomplishment of the task
(Ri-)Scrivere di santi: sulle tracce di Agnese
No full textL’articolo, seguendo una sollecitazione di Gennaro Luongo, recentemente scomparso, si interessa al dossier agiografico di Agnese. L’autrice lo ripercorre fra storia e leggenda, documenti letterari e testimonianze monumentali, iconografia e pratiche devozionali. Ciò le consente di mettere in evidenza le trasformazioni e continue ri-funzionalizzazioni del personaggio, nonché di avanzare alcune ipotesi sulle ragioni che presiedettero a questi continui processi di rilettura.The article following a solicitation by Gennaro Luongo, recently deceased, deals with the hagiographic dossier of Agnese. The author traces it between history and legend, literary documents and monumental evidences, iconography and devotional practices. This allows her to highlight the transformations (modifications) and continuous re-functionalizations of the character, as well as to advance some hypotheses on/regarding the reasons that presided over these continuous re-reading processes
Quale educazione da zero a sei anni? Prospettive legislative e nuove sfide culturali per i servizi educativi italiani
No full textL’articolo presenta e analizza la nuova prospettiva posta dal “Sistema integrato di educazione e istruzione dalla nascita ai sei anni” definita dalla Legge 107/2015 e dal Decreto n.65 del 2017. I servizi educativi per la prima infanzia e la scuola dell’infanzia compongono un sistema integrato in cui, a partire da una nuova visione del bambino da zero a sei anni, avrà particolare importanza il tema della continuità educativa e di una cultura pedagogica condivisa tra nido e scuola dell’infanzia. La nuova legge apre importanti prospettive educative nell’ottica dello zero-sei ma solleva anche nuove sfide che riguardano in particolare le modalità di coordinamento e i processi di formazione della professionalità di educatori e insegnanti
Giuseppe Dessí
No full textTwenty-five years after the death of one of the most refined and secluded writers of the second half of the 20th century, the complete catalogue of works and author papers in the Giuseppe Dessí Collection is available, thanks to the work and philological expertise of Agnese Landini. The filing of the material, deposited in the Contemporary Archives of the Gabinetto Vieusseux in Florence, allows to retrace the complete bibliography of the published and unpublished works of the Sardinian writer and, while telling the story of a narrative path through documents, it eases access to notes and drafts of novels, short stories, plays, anthologies, translations, essays, poems, interviews
Osservazioni su un apografo della farrago pucciana (Roma, Biblioteca Casanatense, vol. inc. 694)
No full textThis paper offers an analysis of the marginalia to Catullus’ poems contained in a Roman incunable (Biblioteca Casanatense, Vol. Inc. 694). Most of these notes can be traced back to the so called ‘farrago pucciana’, annotations to Catullus, Tibullus and Propertius by Francesco Pucci, a disciple of Poliziano. These marginalia were held in high esteem by 16th-century humanists, and over twenty copies of them survive today. In this paper the exemplar of the Casanatense incunable is identified and some hypotheses regarding the author of this copy and his connections with Piero Vettori are discussed, along with an outline of the tradition of the farrago pucciana
Per la biografia di fr. Iacopo Passavanti OP (1302 ca.-1357)
No full textIacopo Passavanti is currently known for his sermons and as the author of one of the oldest theological treatises, which was redacted both in Latin and Vernacular. However, he was also a leading member of the Order of Preachers and a spokesman of an innovative reli- gious and cultural project which, it seems, he held in common with the entirety of the Order of St. Dominic. With this paper, we intend to recreate the friar’s biography and shed light on his works. Thus, we will proceed with a critical reading of the documents that concern him, which we organized, for the occasion, in a new Diplomatic Code

Conversation and learning in early childhood education: what works best for children’s cognitive development and how to improve pupil engagement?
No full textGenerally, all schools state that they are children-focused, but this
aim is most visible in communication if children have autonomy
and freedom of expression. The purpose of this article is twofold:
first, to describe some features of conversations’ in early
childhood education, and, second, to investigate the conditions in
which pupils are more engaged and more participative. The
research was carried out by the author observing real daily
activity in preschools around Reggio Emilia. Conversations are
intentionally defined and started by teachers. The teachers’ open
and closed questions are analysed and categorised, as well as the
children’s answers and child-initiated interactions. Results indicate
that classroom discourse can be categorised with four kinds of
topics, showing that narrative contexts and shared knowledge
contexts are the most promising situations to promote children’s
engagement, through longer children’s interactions and complex
child-initiated interactions. Findings are discussed also in relation
to the groups’ numerosity
