Eusebius on Constantine and Nicaea: Intentions and Omissions
No full textThis article is dedicated to illuminating problems associated with one of the main sources of the history of the early church up to the time of the First Ecumenical Council — The Church History and the Life of the Emperor Constantine — both written by Eusebius of Pamphilus. The author points to the fact that these works have little to say about the theological disputes which were part and parcel of the First Ecumenical Council. Eusebius, instead, fills his account with details of the disputes concerning the date of the celebration of Easter. The arian controversies which dominate the pages of the works of other early Church Fathers are passed over in silence by Eusebius. Researchers have concluded that this was precisely the intention of Eusebius since he himself belonged to the party which sympathized with the heretic Arius. The author of this article attempts to refute this argument and offers another explanation. The author points out that Eusebius always devotes special attention to events and functions organized by Constantine. These events and activities are described by Eusebius in a way which deliberately excludes theological controversies. The author concludes that Eusebius, like Constantine himself, 28 М. Рицци. Евсевий о Константине и Никейском соборе: намерения и умолчания deliberately avoids mentioning the theological disputes since both considered them of relatively little importance and that their solution should be reserved to the narrow circle of intellectuals among the early churchmen. Eusebius thought that the conservation of ecclesiastical peace and unity was of primary importance for all his fellow bishop
La sostenibile leggerezza della pietra. Dall’architettura rupestre alla progettazione biofila
No full textThis contribution reflects on a broader field of investigation, developed through the activities of the Nature City LAB at the University of Basilicata, with particular reference to the research on biophilic design conducted by the author and the team she coordinates. Specifically, a trajectory is outlined below that explores the relationship between the urban ecosystem, architecture, and stone. Taking the Sassi of Matera as a privileged observation point, this exploration is oriented towards defining a perspective situated in a field of research-action defined by a double binomial: rock habitat/sustainability, biophilic design/regeneration

Artist’s colour rendering of HDR scenes in 3-D Mondrian colour-constancy experiments
No full textThe presentation provides an update on ongoing research using three-dimensional Colour Mondrians. Two still life arrangements comprising hand-painted coloured blocks of 11 different colours were subjected to two different lighting conditions of a nearly uniform light and directed spotlights. The three-dimensional nature of these test targets adds shadows and multiple reflections, not found in flat Mondrian targets. Working from exactly the same pair of scenes, an author painted them using watercolour inks and paints to recreate both LDR and HDR Mondrians on paper. This provided us with a second set of appearance measurements of both scenes. Here we measured appearances by measuring reflectances of the artist's rendering. Land's Colour Mondrian extended colour constancy from a pixel to a complex scene. Since it used a planar array in uniform illumination, it did not measure the appearances of real life 3-D scenes in non-uniform illumination. The experiments in this paper, by simultaneously studying LDR and HDR renditions of the same array of reflectances, extend Land's Mondrian towards real scenes in non-uniform illumination. The results show that the appearances of many areas in complex scenes do not correlate with reflectance
Neo-Simulation and Gaming Toward Active Learning
No full textThis book provides tips to teachers for moving toward active learning by using simulation and gaming. The book is a rare reference for teachers who wish to initiate active learning by applying many real experiences from world experts in simulation and gaming. This cumulative wisdom comes from cutting-edge trials reported at the 49th International Simulation and Gaming Association’s annual conference in Thailand 9–13 July 2018. The importance of changing teachers’ one-way lecture approach to that of active learning has been commonly understood for several decades and has been promoted especially in recent years in Asian universities. Simulation and gaming meets the requirements of such teaching programs, especially for active learning, but there are few books or references on how to gamify a lecture. This book serves as a guide to facilitate that change. The author recognizes the duty to provide readers with fixed directions toward simulation and gaming in the next generation, which have still not been fully elucidated. Developing a simulation and gaming culture and making it sustainable in the next decade are the purpose of this book
An unedited sketch of Turkish grammar (1711) by the Venetian giovane di lingua Pietr’Antonio Rizzi
No full textThe unedited manuscript Memoria locale di precetti grammaticali turchi (‘A local memory of Turkish grammatical rules’), dated 1711, is an Italian grammar of Ottoman Turkish compiled by Pietr’Antonio Rizzi, a member of the Venetian “language boys” (giovani di lingua). Essentially a translated summary of F. Meninski’s Grammatica turcica (Vienna, 1680), the grammar consists of 27 chapters covering writing, phonetics, morphology, and syntax. The Turkish language material is written in both Arabic and Latin scripts. The Memoria locale was not written for publication, but is an example of an auto-referential language notebook addressed directly to its own author. The manuscript constitutes a valuable source of information about the history of the teaching and learning of Ottoman Turkish in the eighteenth century, and about the reception history of Meninski’s monumental work; it also adds to our knowledge regarding the Venetian diplomatic institution of the “language boys.” My principal aims in this preliminary study are to analyse the system of grammatical description adopted by Rizzi in the Memoria locale, and to compare some of the linguistic data therein with corresponding material in Meninski’s Grammatica
On birationally trivial families and adjoint quadrics
No full textCopyright © 2022 The Author(s).Let π: X → B be a family whose general fibre Xb is a (d1, ⋯, da)-polarization on a general abelian variety, where 1 ≤ di ≤ 2, i = 1, ⋯, a and a ≥ 4. We show that the fibres are in the same birational class if all the (m, 0)-forms on Xb are liftable to (m, 0)-forms on X, where m = 1 and m = a - 1. Actually, we show a general criteria to establish whether the fibres of certain families belong to the same birational class.11Nsciescopu
The image of the Tatra Mountains on the maps of Czaki and Rizzi-Zannoni
No full textThe greatest achievement of the Tatra cartography in the first period of its development is the image of the Tatras on two maps of the territories of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth dating from the end of the 18th century. Their co-author was captain of Polish artillery Franciszek Florian Czaki. For the first time in cartography he presented genuine details of the high-mountain relief of the Tatras as well as geographical names of peaks, valleys, lakes and watercourses. The article analyses, in terms of form, topography and toponymics, the contents of the Tatra sections of two maps: the Spiš district by Franciszek Florian Czaki (1760 or 1762) and Carte de la Pologne by Giovanni Antonio Rizzi-Zannoni (1772). The article undertakes a critical revision of earlier studies and presents new findings, identifying all of the named topographical objects. The article is based on cartographic sources and studies
