L'idea della libertà. Sorte e rinnovamento
No full textContemporary philosophy of freedom seems to ignore the great philosophical debate
that has gone along with the history of the idea of freedom and its fundamental crisis
in the late medieval voluntarism and in modern determinism, since Hobbes. Voluntarism and
modern determinism on opposite sides converge in identifying the idea of freedom with free
will. On the contrary, the great philosophical tradition (top of which the author considers
Plotin, St. Thomas, Kant, and Fichte) places the basic meaning of freedom respectively in
self-possession, self-motivation, autonomy. Without this basic meaning, it is impossible to
save free will

L'umana generazione e la sua antropologia
No full textA previous question on the human meaning of “generating” concerns its anthropological extention: is it partial (a certain kind of behaviour) or total (generativity of the subject)? The issue of this paper is the second hypothesis. 1. The first perspective on the issue concerns the living body. A very meaningful reference is E. Levinas’s speech on the link between eros and fertility, in which the author shows how from the very inside of f erotical autoreferentiality the dimension of someone beyond the self. The experience of fatherhood opens wide the world of generativity, which covers all kinds of relation where the existence of somebody else is promoted. Fatherhood has a paradigmatic value, like that of “birth” and “acknowledgement”, where the event of being given birth by, or of giving birth to others, takes place. At this level, the relation among men reveals its generative vocation as well as its being consistent as reality “among” the subjects with its own autonomy. 2. The second perspective on the issue concerns the conditions that make relational generativity possible. This has a paradoxical nature: it seems there is contradiction between generation and autonomy of the subjects. The solution can only be a nature of the relation capable of realizing unity where a real distinction of the subjects is maintained. This is (only) the intentional and reflexive nature reflexive nature of the mind. From this goes the issue on having to be moral and the moral criteria of gratuity and work on the relation. 3. Finally, a confrontation is proposed with the philosophical and cultural question of contemporary nihilism presenting a model of anthropological self-comprehension in an extreme contradiction (arelational) with the generative paradigm, especially in a influential author like G. Deleuze, actually in persuasively consistent with the modes of technological post-modernism. This is a negative proof of the fact that the generative anthropology is an important possibility of humanisation for the man of the 21st century as well as of the fact that the human relation becomes unconceivable without certain anthropological premises

No full textDevelopment of monitoring system to assess honeybee colony health
No full textIn the last decades, beekeepers recorded millions of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses due to climate change, and crop chemical treatments, but mostly the parasitic spreading of mites, in particular Varroa destructor. The mite lives in synchrony with the brood, parasitizing bees' brood before capped. The growing mites start feeding on the larva, weakening without killing the host. Once the affected larva becomes a bee, it leaves the brood cell, by uncapping the wax cap, allowing the parental mites and their offspring to spread out. The weakening from the mite feeding leads to evident symptoms as bees are unable to fly (deformed wing virus), helping mites to spread out and lead the colony to collapse. The presence of these viruses has been directly linked to colony losses, thus raising the need for more accurate techniques to measure and estimate the rate of infestation. The most used method for detecting a Varroa destructor infestation is manual sampling. Typically, a bunch of live bees (almost 300 bees) is put into a jar with alcohol or powdered sugar and shaken until most mites fall off. An alternative consists of sampling the brood by opening brood cells and checking for mites' presence. Lastly, a noninvasive method but still manual makes use of a bottom sticky board placed under each beehive to monitor the natural mite drop. However, all these methods have drawbacks. For these reasons, automatic monitoring inside the beehive might be a valid support tool for beekeepers to estimate the mite infestation level, limiting manual inspections and continuously monitoring the mite infestation level.
In this research project, the authors are working on developing an image-based acquisition system to gather samples of healthy and sick bees inside the beehive, with the aim of providing a tool for beekeepers to support the decision-making phases to limit the spread of mites
Perception-centric Force Scaling in Bilateral Teleoperation
No full textIn this work we propose a control architecture that leads to an intrinsically stable bilateral teleoperation system, where the telepresence of the user is improved in terms of remote force discrimination. We iden- tify, through a set of psychophysical experiments, a variable force scaling matrix that improves the oper- ator’s feeling of the remote environment. We show that it is possible to build a passive control scheme that embeds this perception-centric scaling. Finally, an experiment is presented to validate the results pro- posed in the paper
