Oration on the Dignity of Man. A new Translation and Commentary. Overview of the Text §§ 103-41 and Translation and commentary of the text §§ 103-41
No full textThe main subject of "Overview of the Text" pages is Pico's use of non-biblical sources in order to provide evidence supporting the universal recognition of his "tripartite philosophy". This is a new approach to the philological and exegetical problem of Pico's appropriation of Greek and "Chaldean" or "Zoroastrian" sources against the background of the proposed universal model of a "prisca Theologia" and of the transformation of the "ritual mysteries" into "literary mysteries".This is followe by a rich commentary on, and a new translation (from Latin into English) of, the §§ 103-141 of the Oratio on the Dignity of Man by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. The translation rectifies some errors to be recognized in all English translations and the commentary is innovative in that it reflects the effort of identifying all possible non-biblical sources and resonances of this long section of Pico's Discourse

Paradigme de la réforme et discours méta-religieux dans l'hindouisme moderne
No full textLe mot “réforme”, qui échappe au domaine religieux et s’applique aussi aux domaines social et politique, fait l’objet, dans l’Inde colonisée du XIXe siècle, de discussions très vivantes et importantes, le plus souvent en langue anglaise. Ces discussions portent sur les rapports possibles entre réforme religieuse d’une part, et réformes sociales et politiques de l’autre. C’est un véritable débat qui est ouvert par les élites intellectuelles urbanisées et qui donne naissance à un discours métareligieux très riche et sophistiqué. Ce qu'on appelle "hindouisme moderne" est le fruit de ce processus, aboutissant à l'universalisation du "dharma", à la remise en question du paradigme de la réforme et au passage à un paradigme "faible" de la réforme. Au-delà de toute dispute sur la prétendue synonymie entre modernisation et occidentalisation, il nous suffit d’une analyse un peu plus nuancée pour montrer que la prise de distance du paradigme européen, la «provincialisation de l’Europe » comme on l’a dit, n’est pas une exigence récente, mais remonte justement aux intellectuels néo-hindous du 19ème siècle. Le discours méta-religieux dans l’Inde colonisée s’est croisé en effet de façon très caractéristique avec le problème de la légitimité de la représentation de la civilisation indienne et de son auto-représentation. Mais le passage du paradigme forte de la réforme au paradigme faible qui aboutit dans le discours méta-religieux de l’Hindouisme moderne, n’a pas signifié l’oubli des instances réformatrices et des idéaux d’égalité et d’émancipation qui se rattachaient, entre autre, aux Lumières européennes
"Education" or "Training"? Observations on the Role and Definition of the University in a Historical Perspective
No full textThe contribution offers some reflections about three subjects: a) the nature of the crisis of the “University” as seen in the reform proposals that pervade present day University policies;
b) the role of University teachers and students; c) the analytical usefulness of the concept of the University as an institution “committed to truth”.
The first draft of the contributions was a paper presented at the International Conference “Breaking
Boundaries: Interdisciplinarity, E-Learning, and Universities without Walls” organized at Jadavpur University (Kolkata) in January 2016 within the framework of the E-QUAL Project
Intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm newborn: Predictors of mortality
No full textBACKGROUND AND AIM: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. It occurs primarily in preterm newborns with an incidence of about 20% and, despite the evolution of neonatal care that allows more and better survival, continues to be a cause of morbidity and mortality in all intensive care units. Our research aimed to evaluate the independent risk factors of mortality and the relative odds ratio for each degree of IVH. METHODS: In this retrospective study were included 96 preterm infants, born between 23^ and 36^ weeks of gestational age, which developed IVH of degree two-three-four diagnosed by means of cranial ultrasound. It was made a comparison within the sample by distinguishing the group with IVH degree two from degrees three and four. RESULTS: IVH of degree three and four was independently associated with mortality. We found a higher number of deaths in the GAs <= 26 weeks (p <0.01), which was also an independent predictor of mortality. CONCLUSION: With this study it was further highlighted the high mortality of patients with an elevated degrees of IVH and low birth weight and early gestational age. These data, of important clinical relevance, oblige us to find new therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing the serious consequences of that disease
Uneven Linguistic Outcome in Extremely Preterm Children
No full textOne primary problem in extremely preterm children is the occurrence of atypical language development. The aim of this study was to explore the components of language (articulatory phonetics, lexicon and syntax) in comprehension and production in extremely preterm children between the 4th and 5th year of age. The language section of the Preschool Neuropsychological Test was administered to 20 extremely preterm monolingual Italian children (GA < 28 weeks) and to a control sample of 40 full term children (GA > 37 weeks), matched for age and non-verbal IQ. Language comprehension was fully efficient in all of the components that we assessed. In the tasks of language production the clinical sample fared much worse than their age and IQ matched controls and the differences were highly significant (p <.001). Language acquisition in extremely preterm children may follow uneven developmental trajectories: language comprehension can be spared in the face of a selective impairment of language production at the level of articulatory phonetics and syntax
Recovery of Interlaminar Tensile Stresses in Curved Laminates Subject to Biaxial Flexure: The Case of an Elastically Induced Curvature Purposely Misaligned with the Principal Directions of Initial Curvature
No full textTeaching and University Internationalization: the E-qual Project
No full textThis volume is intended as a first collection of contributions which exemplifies and records the participation of the University of Bologna in the E-QUAL Project.
The E-QUAL project (2013-2017) was a project of international collaboration funded by the European Union, carried out by a consortium of partners, with the British Council as the main
partner in terms of strategic supervision of the project. The project activities have been implemented in four key areas: Critical Thinking, Cultural Studies, Human Ecology, Management of Natural Resources and Sustainable Development. The overall objective of the project was to improve the quality, access and governance of higher education in India, through the promotion of
partnerships and collaborations between Indian universities and
universities in the EU. The project facilitated the exchange of experience and knowledge in university teaching and learning, using technologically advanced approaches, including the development of online and e-learning modules to augment and diversify classroom teaching. Peculiar characteristics of the project were the sharing of innovative pedagogies and evaluation techniques and the exploration of their use in Indian and European institutions. It has facilitated international mobility and has involved a wide range of policy makers, academics, staff members, students and professionals through debates, conferences and workshops. The E-QUAL project resulted to be an example of
how Universities from Europe and India can interact and collaborate in providing students with an international environment of learning and new ways for the transmission of knowledge at a global level. In this sense, from the point of view of the University of Bologna, it has been part of the internationalization processes implemented by the Department of History
and Cultures and by the entire University
