Metaphorical Language and Its Significance in Machiavelli's Il principe
Authors: Pugliese Olga Zorzi
Published: September 2024

An assessment of Machiavelli's declaration that he refrained from using stylistic ornamentation in his treatise on the prince, along with a brief review of theories of metaphor, serve as the basis for an analysis of both well-known and neglected metaphors found in the work. Some images (e.g. the ladder and Fortuna) are interpreted in a new light, and patterns of imagery emerge that reveal underlying meanings in Machiavelli's text.
Il parlato-digitato dell'italiano come heritage language nei gruppi Facebook: riflessioni e modellizzazioni da un corpus multilingue
Authors: Ferrini Caterina
Published: September 2024

Il saggio illustra i primi risultati derivanti da una ricerca in corso sul parlato-digitato (Compagnone 2014) delle comunità di emigrati italiani sui social network. Le tipologie di raccolta dati adottate sino ad ora dalla linguistica migrazionale hanno riguardato l'osservazione partecipata, la raccolta di interviste, la diffusone questionari e l'analisi dei testi. È la prima volta che nella linguistica migrazionale si adotta questa metodologia di raccolta che ci permette di osservare il comportamento linguistico online di determinate categoria di utenti. Nei gruppi analizzati interagiscono italiani emigrati di prima generazione, le generazioni 0, composte dai figli degli emigrati italiani nati nel Paese di emigrazione che non parlano italiano come prima lingua, i neoemigrati che si inseriscono nel tessuto del discorso. La tipologia inedita di raccolta dati apre alla possibilità di osservazione di una altrettanto inedita categoria linguistica: quella del parlato-trasmesso di utenti interessati in qualche modo dalla diaspora.

Premised upon a comprehension-based view of language acquisition and, thus, the need to provide learners with communicatively-embedded input, we describe our attempt to incorporate a modified version of Blaine Ray's TPRS into our curriculum. We provide a detailed description of the design and execution of the project in addition to the positive outcomes framed in terms of increased student engagement and responsiveness, along with greater teacher satisfaction.
Dust as Archi-writing in Lampedusa's Il Gattopardo
Authors: Privitello Lucio Angelo
Published: September 2024

Within Il Gattopardo, dust settles within and upon everything by scintillating and multifarious motes. These trans-immanent layers of “voluptuous immobility” extend from geography, historiography, and are even framed as a cosmology. The purpose of this brief study is to initiate a rereading of the novel by its most sustained thematic thread: dust. This polyhedral phantom structuring, both surface and substrate, would in turn allow experiencing how dust preserves, reveals, judges, erases, and disseminates key aspects of the novel.
Italian Enrollments: Trends and Concerns
Authors: Looney Dennis , Lusin Natalia , Granacki Alyssa
Published: September 2024

The most recent MLA language enrollment census and report (published in 2018) revealed that 106 programs that had offered courses taught in Italian language in 2013 did not report any enrollments for 2016. Although 50 programs were added in 2016, there was a net loss of 56 programs in Italian between 2013 and 2016 – “loss” here meaning that where there once were courses in Italian, they are no longer offered. But at the same time the data also show many programs, undergraduate and graduate, with increasing or stable enrollments. The article considers briefly what works to make some programs thrive at a time of serious challenges. The article concludes by recommending that Italian programs embrace diversity initiatives to create innovative curricula that will appeal to more students.
The Educational Aspect of Bandello's Beffa
Authors: Di Iorio Aniello
Published: September 2024

The focus of this paper entails the instructive quality that Bandello instills in some of the beffa's short stories. From the characters’ intellectuality to the writer's moralistic burden, Bandello employs the ruse beyond the traditional scope of entertaining the audience. While the erudite intellectuals’ reasoning interferes with the coherency of the joke within the story, this same character's intellectual ability also alienates humor from the conventional joke's settings, which ultimately outshines the laughter. This article will explore this typology of beffa and considers how Bandello's ruse becomes a didactic instrument that engages with the core of the stories while producing a moralistic representativeness around the ambiance of the respective characters of beffa.
Land of Extremes: The Power of Sicilian Landscapes in Tomasi di Lampedusa's Il Gattopardo
Authors: Crognale Megan
Published: September 2024

Though Il Gattopardo has enjoyed resounding commercial and critical success since its publication in 1958, literary circles took issue with the novel's treatment of history and lack of linear structure. In addition to studying the novel's cyclical temporality, the present study will investigate the often underappreciated category of space, which has risen to prominence within Il Gattopardo scholarship in recent years. Lampedusa himself nods to the novel's spatial character, insisting that: “La Sicilia è quella che è; del 1860, di prima e di sempre.” The present study argues that the extreme nature of Sicily's landscape – where there is no mean between extreme pragmatism and pure abstraction – reveals the illusory nature of the Risorgimento's promise of progress. Even as Garibaldi's soldiers light the bonfires of history, Sicily's timeless, fossilized quality reminds its inhabitants that nothing ever truly passes out of existence, and that revolution is cyclical not only in name.
L’ idillio perduto della provincia amalfitana. Francesca e Nunziata di Maria Orsini Natale
Authors: Di Nino Nicola
Published: September 2024

L'articolo presenta un'analisi del volume Francesca e Nunziata di Maria Orsini Natale (1928-2010) che, sul finire degli anni Novanta, diede alla semisconosciuta e anziana autrice campana un'improvvisa notorietà. Il testo, costruito sulle memorie personali della Orsini, offre un resoconto nostalgico-favolistico del secolo che corre dagli anni pre-unitari a quelli del secondo dopoguerra. La vicenda di una famiglia di pastai campani è raccontata con una prosa barocca che, indugiando spesso compiaciuta su se stessa, fa perdere all'autrice la bussola storico-critica tanto che il ritratto offerto della Campania pre-unitaria è quello di una sorta di paradiso perduto. Un testo che, preferendo le immagini edulcorate del paesaggio e i profumi inebrianti del cibo rispetto alle analisi dei secolari problemi storico-sociali della Campania svolte dai contemporanei (Compagnone, La Capria, Prisco), non esce dal suo manierato provincialismo.
The Miracle of the Epileptic Demoniac in Medieval Sicilian
Authors: Pietropaolo Domenico
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this article is to examine a medieval Sicilian translation of the episode from the Gospel of St. Mark in which Jesus releases a deaf and dumb boy from a demonic possession that afflicted him with epilepsy (Mark 9: 14-28). The translation was prepared as a script for use in a religious function, and it was written in the interlinear space of a Greek evangeliary using the Greek alphabet as a phonetic aid to oral performance in the local dialect. The oral Sicilian version was meant to make the evangelist sound like a fellow countryman, aware of the concerns and beliefs of the congregation. This approach to the translation of the gospel called for subtle metaleptic intrusions of contemporary culture into the text. Through this process, the translator made use of modern beliefs as aids to the vernacularization of his theology, presented as an expression of the local culture.
“Servando morta anchor quella vergogna”. La castità esemplare nel De mulieribus admirandis di Antonio Cornazano
Authors: Carapezza Sandra
Published: September 2024

Il saggio riguarda l'inedito poemetto in terzine di Antonio Cornazano, De mulieribus admirandis (1467-68), in cui sono presentati ventotto profili di donne illustri per bellezza o per pudicizia. Ci si sofferma su questa seconda categoria, ponendo in rilievo come il modello dominante sia quello della donna che muore per difendere il proprio onore. Fa eccezione il caso di Chiomara, trasmesso da molteplici fonti. Rispetta il paradigma invece la vicenda di Idalia, ambientata durante la guerra di Francesco Sforza nelle Marche. Insieme con la regina di Inghilterra, Idalia è l'unica donna contemporanea dell'opera. La sua morte nel fiume è accostata a quella della celebre contadina di Gazuolo (narrata da Castiglione e Bandello). Avvicinandosi al presente, si definisce come esemplare il caso dell'onore servato a costo della morte, piuttosto che quello di Chiomara, sposa che sopravvive alla violenza e fa la sua vendetta.

Integrating Art into STEAM Education: An Interview-Based Study of Interdisciplinary Art Educators
Authors: Si Li , Nagappan Rajendran
Published: September 2024

Extensive research has shown that students proficient in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects are more likely to succeed later in life. However, by adding the arts to the STEM curriculum (creating STEAM) and providing educators with a more interdisciplinary framework, students can be better prepared to understand and solve global problems and engage more effectively in social activities. This study employs a narrative approach to collect data and interpret results through interviews with three interdisciplinary art educators. The primary research question is: What is the self-perception of interdisciplinary art educators? By exploring how these educators integrate their specific fields into the arts to develop unique, comprehensive curricula, the study aims to highlight their role. Currently, the arts are viewed as optional rather than essential in education. Therefore, to create a truly effective, comprehensive, and engaging interdisciplinary educational system that benefits students, it is crucial to conduct in-depth interviews and research with interdisciplinary art educators, demonstrating that the arts are a vital component of all core curricula.

PROPORTION OF EARLY ONSET SEPSIS IN LOCAL NICU AND IDENTIFICATION OF MATERNAL RISK FACTORS
Authors: HABIB M
Published: September 2024

Early onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Identifying maternal risk factors associated with EOS is crucial for early diagnosis and prevention. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of early onset sepsis in neonates admitted to the local neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and identify maternal risk factors associated with neonatal sepsis. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pediatrics Department, Combined Military Hospital Peshawar, from January 2021 to May 2022. One thousand neonates admitted to the NICU due to any indication were included. A consultant paediatrician or neonatologist diagnosed neonatal sepsis based on clinical signs and laboratory findings. Maternal factors such as age, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), maternal fever, and chorioamnionitis were analyzed for their association with early onset sepsis. Data were statistically analysed using SPSS, with p-value <0.001 considered significant. Results: Out of 1000 neonates, 690 (69%) were male and 310 (31%) were female. The mean maternal age was 33.38 ± 4.53 years. EOS was observed in 123 neonates (12.3%), while 877 (88.7%) neonates showed no signs of sepsis. PROM and chorioamnionitis were significantly associated with early-onset sepsis (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: Early onset neonatal sepsis is a common condition in neonates admitted to the NICU. Neonates born to mothers with PROM or chorioamnionitis were at a significantly higher risk of developing EOS. These findings emphasise the importance of addressing maternal risk factors in reducing the incidence of neonatal sepsis.

Treating Multilevel Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease in a Patient With Stage IV Lung Cancer With Notable Comorbidities Using a Drug Eluting Biomaterial: A Case Report
Authors: Margulies Bryan S. , Loy Joe C. , Thakur Nikhil , Sanz-Altamira Pedro
Published: September 2024

A 64-year-old patient with stage IV non–small-cell lung carcinoma and several comorbidities, which include obesity and long-term smoking, was treated with N-allyl noroxymorphone eluting osteoinductive bone graft biomaterial. The patient had multilevel degenerative disk disease (DDD), which has a high rate of failure when osteoinductive bone grafts are not used. Infuse, the most widely administered osteoinductive bone graft, is contraindicated in the spine for patients with active tumor. As such, a novel drug eluting osteoinductive biomaterial was administered to this patient, for whom no other therapeutic options were available, to promote bone fusion in a three-level anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion as part of the Food and Drug Administration Expanded Access program. Despite patient comorbidities that are associated with poor bone physiology, confirmed radiographic fusion was achieved in all three cervical levels at 8 months.

Authors: oban Deniz , Tan O , mu brahim
Published: September 2024

Aim/background: Gender is related to differences in the prevalences, manifestations and comorbidities of mental disorders. Findings on the effect of sex on adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are limited and inconsistent. We aimed to compare male and females with OCD in a large sample of adults.
Methods: We included 559 patients with OCD (299 females, 50.68%). We employed the Yale-Brown Obsession and Compulsion Scale (Y-BOCS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). We gathered data about the onset of illness, the years of education, marital status, long-term unemployment, history of hospitalization and suicide attempts, lifetime attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), tic disorder, alcohol use disorder (AUD), substance use disorder (SUD), smoking and symptom dimensions.
Results: The Y-BOCS, HDRS-17 and BAI scores were significantly higher in women. Men were characterized by earlier onset of OCD, younger age, longer years of education, higher prevalence of past or current tic disorders and higher frequency of AUD/SUD and smoking. Ratio of being married was higher among women whereas most of males were never-married. History of suicide attempt was more common among women.
Conclusions: Our research offers additional support for variations in clinical characteristics of OCD based on gender. It is essential to investigate the biological foundation of gender differences on OCD.

Investigates the Effect of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth in Cameroon
Authors: Chungong Caroline Tchoutouo
Published: September 2024

Every nation requires a certain amount of investment to reach a particular degree of growth. Investment and economic growth are topics of intense debate in developing countries today. This study investigates the effect of foreign direct investment on economic growth in Cameroon. Using the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation technique, the data covered a period from 1985 to 2022 collected from the world development indicators (WDI). The finding reveals that there is a positive and significant effect between foreign direct investment (FDI) and Cameroonian GDP; this implies that a unit increase in FDI leads to increased economic growth. A negative correlation has been observed between economic growth and inflation, suggesting that a rise in inflation generally leads to a decline in economic growth. Furthermore, trade openness (TOP) and economic growth have a statistically significant positive association, suggesting that Cameroon's economic growth may rise due to greater global trade involvement. These findings have important policy implications. The Cameroonian government should improve infrastructure, guarantee political stability, and strengthen regulatory frameworks in order to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and capitalize on its benefits. Since boosting international trade further spur economic growth, initiatives to encourage trade openness should also be given top priority. Trade agreements, tariff reductions, and the encouragement of export-oriented sectors.

O Ministério da Saúde considera a adolescência como a faixa etária de 10 a 19 anos, pois reconhece que a partir dos 10 anos se inicia várias transformações no corpo, tendo em vista o crescimento e o desenvolvimento na vida de ordem emocional, social e nas relações afetivas (BRASIL, 2010). Objetiva-se traçar o comportamento sexual de escolares adolescentes. Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória-descritiva, realizada com adolescentes, na faixa etária de 14 a 17 anos, com aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado. A coleta de dados realizou-se em duas escolas de tempo integral da rede de ensino estadual do município de Sobral- Ce. Após aplicação do questionário, aponta-se uma discussão sobre o comportamento, saúde e sexualidade dos adolescentes, através de tabelas e com apoio da literatura vigente. Como resultado, a investigação revelou o perfil socioeconômico e o comportamento sexual dos adolescentes. Os investigados apresentaram diferenças de classe socioeconômica. Contudo, referente ao aspecto sexual é importante estar atento às repercussões deste acontecimento na vida dos adolescentes, bem como oferecer informações relevantes sobre o relacionamento afetivo, pois produzir saúde com adolescentes é considerar seus projetos de vida e o desenvolvimento de sua autonomia.

У статті на основі методів аналізу та синтезу досліджено основи правового регулювання освіти як засобу виправлення та ресоціалізації засуджених в Україні. Проаналізовано типові програми «Освіта» та «Професія», як програми диференційованого виховного впливу на засуджених, проведено статистичний аналіз закладів освіти, які надають послуги з дистанційної освіти. На прикладі проєктів «IT-Start» та «IT-Step», проаналізовано навчання і працю ув’язнених в ІТ-професіях, що додатково наголошує на сприянні їх соціальної реабілітації та ресоціалізації, враховуючи затребуваність та високу матеріальну цінність такої праці у сучасному суспільстві. Виокремлено низку проблем, які ускладнюють процес навчання і як наслідок виправлення та ресоціалізацію засуджених, серед них: обмежений доступ до освіти, оскільки не усі установи виконання покарань мають навчальні класи; обмежений доступ до ресурсів, тобто брак підручників, навчальних матеріалів і сучасних комп’ютерних технологій; низька якість проведення навчальних занять, тобто відсутність достатньої кількості кваліфікованих викладачів, які готові працювати в умовах установ виконання покарань; використання застарілих навчальних планів, які не відповідають сучасним вимогам; стигматизація засуджених, що може впливати на їхню мотивацію до навчання та психологічний стан, а саме психологічні проблеми засуджених, які ускладнюють освітній процес в установах виконання покарань. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що освіта засуджених, здобута в установах відбування покарань, може суттєво вплинути на їхнє майбутнє, допомагаючи знизити рівень рецидиву та сприяючи успішній інтеграції в суспільство після звільнення. Зроблено висновок про те, що декриміналізація ув’язнених – це процес, який включає відновлення прав та можливостей для їх інтеграції у суспільство, який має починатися ще під час відбування покарання, враховуючи, що освіта є вирішальним елементом у цьому процесі та має забезпечувати не тільки професійний розвиток, але й психосоціальну адаптацію та особистісну трансформацію ув’язнених.

High-entropy alloys are promising for hydrogen storage, especially in terms of their tunable hydrogen storage properties. Although several experimental studies, a fundamental and detailed atomistic comprehension of physical and electronic of the hydrogenation process is still lacking. This work investigated the structural, electronic and mechanical properties of TiZrFeRu high-entropy alloys (HEAs) using first-principle calculation. Indeed, we employed both density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory in the calculations with generalized gradient approximation and plane-waves pseudo-potential formalism. In addition, we used Virtual crystal approximation (VCA) to describe HEA as is well suited for predicting elastic properties. We have calculated relevant physical parameters, including lattice constants, elastic constants, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, Pugh's ratio, anisotropy factors and Vickers hardness..etc. Our calculated finding show that that TiZrFeRuH2 is mechanically stable and has a good ductility with a Pugh’s ratio (B/G) greater than 1.75. Lastly, we investigated and discussed electronic bandstructure, the total and partial electronic density of state. The results indicate that this compound exhibit a metallic character concentrated in a zone between -5 and 5 eV. The value of the Poisson ration (0.35) confirm again that this compound is metallic (for metal materials the Poisson ratio is above 0.25).
The potential of mixing model of wind speed distribution in Algerian High Plateaus
Authors: Hellalbi Mohamed Amin , Bouabdallah Ahcene
Published: September 2024

The evaluation of wind energy relies primarily on the probability density function PDF, which corresponds well with the wind speed data. Single PDFs are widely used in the assessment of wind. In contrast, homogeneous or heterogeneous mixed models are rarely used, especially in Algeria, where the bimodal wind speed distribution is expected. This research aims to investigate the potential of heterogeneous PDFs Generalized Extreme Value-Weibul and Normal-Extreme Value PDFs in assessing wind energy at three meteorological stations in the high plateau against the single widespread PDFs Weibull and GEV by analyzing five years of archived wind speed data. The estimation of mixed model parameters is obtained by applying the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, and the identification of the appropriate PDF is obtained by four goodness-of-fit (GOF) criteria and compared with the widespread single distributions. The results show that the mixed model surpasses widely the single model for all the GOF criteria used at the three selected sites. The proposed mixed model fits all the wind speed distributions related to unimodal and bimodal regimes.

Our paper is focused on optimal and control of an isolated photovoltaic system with batteries. The control is made by the application of a power management control (PMC). Batteries are kept safe from deep discharges and overloads by the PMC, maintaining a continuous supply to the load. The ease, with which this method can be implemented, as well as its effectiveness without imposing a large computing strain on the user, is noteworthy. The batteries and PV panels in the system under study are connected to a bidirectional converter enabling the batteries to be charged and drained in accordance with weather conditions. The simulation results, clearly highlight good performance of the proposed control across two different profiles.
