title: Sexism and Gender Inequality in the Legal Profession in England and Wales: Barriers to Progression for Women
Creators: name: Samuda, Leona
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is a qualitative study examining gender inequalities in the legal profession, specifically in the field of the solicitors’ profession. The research question is concerned with the lack of representation of women in leadership roles and asks why, despite the large numbers entering the profession, female solicitors are not progressing to seniority and partnership levels at the same rate and pace as their male colleagues. The findings are based on interviews conducted with practising female solicitors operating within the legal profession in England and Wales, specifically those in private practice. The key findings of this research lie in the identification of significant barriers and blockages to the progression of women solicitors into senior leadership positions. Such obstructions are a consequence of the masculine nature of the legal profession which is responsible for creating an uninclusive culture which excludes the female gender. In particular, one distinct type of masculinity, known as toxic masculinity, is responsible for creating structural inequalities to such an extent that social injustices pertaining to the representation of women in law can be identified. The composition of the solicitors’ profession includes a slight majority of women at lower and entry levels, a gender balance which is then lost in the upper echelons of the profession, where only a fraction of these women progress into partnerships.
The effects of the revolution as shown in some of the works of naturalists of the NEP period
Creators: name: Bobruk, Rita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the results of the revolution and its effects on the Russian people. Since the government of the NEP period allowed relative freedom to writers, attention is focused on this time. The writers Kozakov, Malashkin, Grabar', and Nikiforov were chosen because their naturalistic writings would give the most accurate picture of the time. While all four authors deal with the ills of the system, their different methods of investigation give a greater scope to a critical analysis. Each chapter of the paper presents the background of the author, some stylistic elements, deficiencies in the Soviet system and psychological effects on the characters. The writers are dealt with in the following order: CHAPTER I-Mikhail E. Kozakov "Meshchanin Adameyko" CHAPTER II-Sergey I. Malashkin "Luna s pravoy storony" CHAPTER III-Leonid Y. Grabar' "Lakhudrin pereulok" and "Na kirpichakh" CHAPTER IV-Georgiy K. Nikiforov “U fonarya” and “Ztienshcnina” The conclusion points out that the results of the revolution were far from what was expected at its inception. Much, of the Communist ideology worked against the psychological make-up of the people causing endless frustrations. The failure of the Party to consider human character brought out undesirable factions and destroyed some of the most worthy elements in the society; thus, retarding the progress towards its own goal.
On the exclusion of intra-cluster plasma from AGN-blown bubbles

description: Simple arguments suggest that magnetic fields should be aligned tangentially to the surface of an AGN-blown bubble. If this is the case, charged particles from the fully ionised intra-cluster medium (ICM) will be prevented, ordinarily, from crossing the boundary by the Lorentz force. However, recent observations indicate that thermal material may occupy up to 50% of the volume of some bubbles. Given the effect of the Lorentz force, the thermal content must then be attributed to one, or a combination, of the following processes: i) the entrainment of thermal gas into the AGN outflow that inflated the bubble; ii) rapid diffusion across the magnetic field lines at the ICM/bubble interface; iii) magnetic reconnection events which transfer thermal material across the ICM/bubble boundary. Unless the AGN outflow behaves as a magnetic tower jet, entrainment may be significant and could explain the observed thermal content of bubbles. Alternatively, the cross-field diffusion coefficient required for the ICM to fill a typical bubble is roughly 10^16 cm^2 s^-1, which is anomalously high compared to predictions from turbulent diffusion models. Finally, the mass transfer rate due to magnetic reconnection is uncertain, but significant for plausible reconnection rates. We conclude that entrainment into the outflow and mass transfer due to magnetic reconnection events are probably the most significant sources of thermal content in AGN-blown bubbles.

description: Abstract – This contribution evaluates the problem of education from a performativity gender analysis developed by the American philosopher Judith Butler, within the line of post-structuralist and postmodern thought. This original approach to gender allows us to reveal both the conditioning of a patriarchal thought still strongly diffused and the negative drifts of a presumed universal neutral. Moreover it introduces several new generative concepts about a radical critique of inculturation processes, aiming to the developmentof non-violent (and inclusive) ethics towards differences and minorities. This approach represents an interesting contribution to the development of educational, ethical and political emancipation processes. Riassunto – Il contributo analizza il problema della formazione a partire dalla performatività di genere sviluppata dalla filosofa statunitense Judith Butler, nel solco del pensiero post-strutturalista e postmoderno. Questo originale approccio alle questioni di genere e sul genere permette di svelare sia i condizionamenti di un pensiero patriarcale ancora fortemente diffuso sia le derive di un presunto neutro universale (dando nuovo impulso alle riflessioni femministe e riconoscendone il portato politico-culturale nel dibattito contemporaneo). Ha, inoltre, introdotto nuovi interessanti concetti generativi in merito a una critica radicale dei processi di inculturazione, in direzione di un’etica non violenta e inclusiva nei confronti delle differenze e delle minoranze ancora senza voce o misconosciute. In questo punto di intersezione risiede il contributo critico-costruttivo per una formazione intesa sia come strumento emancipativo, sia come risorsa trans-formativa sul piano etico e politico.

description: The design of complex, competing effects in magnetic systems-be it via the introduction of nonlinear interactions1-4, or the patterning of three-dimensional geometries5,6-is an emerging route to achieve new functionalities. In particular, through the design of three-dimensional geometries and curvature, intrastructure properties such as anisotropy and chirality, both geometry-induced and intrinsic, can be directly controlled, leading to a host of new physics and functionalities, such as three-dimensional chiral spin states7, ultrafast chiral domain wall dynamics8-10 and spin textures with new spin topologies7,11. Here, we advance beyond the control of intrastructure properties in three dimensions and tailor the magnetostatic coupling of neighbouring magnetic structures, an interstructure property that allows us to generate complex textures in the magnetic stray field. For this, we harness direct write nanofabrication techniques, creating intertwined nanomagnetic cobalt double helices, where curvature, torsion, chirality and magnetic coupling are jointly exploited. By reconstructing the three-dimensional vectorial magnetic state of the double helices with soft-X-ray magnetic laminography12,13, we identify the presence of a regular array of highly coupled locked domain wall pairs in neighbouring helices. Micromagnetic simulations reveal that the magnetization configuration leads to the formation of an array of complex textures in the magnetic induction, consisting of vortices in the magnetization and antivortices in free space, which together form an effective B field cross-tie wall14. The design and creation of complex three-dimensional magnetic field nanotextures opens new possibilities for smart materials15, unconventional computing2,16, particle trapping17,18 and magnetic imaging19.

description: The dramatic slowdown of glass-forming liquids has been variously linked to increasing dynamic and static correlation lengths. Yet, empirical evidence is insufficient to decide among competing theories. The random first order theory (RFOT) links the dynamic slowdown to the growth of amorphous static order, whose range depends on a balance between configurational entropy and surface tension. This last quantity is expected to vanish when the temperature surpasses a spinodal point beyond which there are no metastable states. Here we measure for the first time the surface tension in a model glass-former, and find that it vanishes at the energy separating minima from saddles, demonstrating the existence of a spinodal point for amorphous metastable order. Moreover, the fluctuations of surface tension become smaller for lower temperatures, in quantitative agreement with recent theoretical speculation that spatial correlations in glassy systems relax nonexponentially because of the narrowing of the surface tension distribution.

Corpi insorgenti. Prospettive ecofemministe del conflitto tra vita e capitale

description: Abstract – The article addresses some constitutive elements of the current conflict between life and capital starting from the ecofeminist perspective and its main contributions. In various parts of the world in the last fifty years, it is often women who have brought “rising-up” into the public dimension against environmental disasters and for the protection of injured and mistreated territories. The ecofeminist paths show an alliance between female bodies and natural bodies, a possibility of action, struggle and conflict. It is a “posture” that allows generative conflicts, capable of putting life and the care of common goods at the center. We also find this same posture in the working paths of women and men who, moved by a profound ecological vision, seek meaning and autonomy in work. All these paths see an important female participation and are inspired by partnerships between humans and non-humans, by new attunements of the living beyond relations of domination. Riassunto – L’articolo affronta alcuni elementi costituenti l’attuale conflitto tra vita e capitale a partire dalla prospettiva ecofemminista e dai suoi principali contributi. Sono di frequente le donne che in varie parti del mondo negli ultimi cinquant’anni hanno portato nella dimensione pubblica dei “corpi che insorgono” contro i disastri ambientali e per la tutela di territori feriti e maltrattati. I percorsi ecofemministi mostrano un’alleanza tra corpi femminili e corpi naturali, una possibilità di azione, di lotta e di conflitto. Si tratta di una “postura” che permette conflitti generativi, capaci di rimettere al centro la vita e la cura dei beni comuni. Questa stessa postura la ritroviamo anche nei percorsi lavoratori di donne e uomini che mossi da una profonda visione ecologica cercano nel lavoro senso e autonomia. Tutti questi percorsi vedono una importante partecipazione femminile e sono ispirati a relazioni di partnership tra umani e non umani, a nuove sintonie del vivente oltre le relazioni di dominio. Keywords – ecofeminism, eco warriors, common goods, conflict between life and capital, eco-autonomous work Parole chiave – ecofemminismo, ecoguerriere, beni comuni, conflitto tra vita e capitale, lavoro ecoautonomo

description: We report on the results of a Chandra search for evidence of triggered nuclear activity within the Cl0023+0423 four-way group merger at z ~ 0.84. The system consists of four interacting galaxy groups in the early stages of hierarchical cluster formation and, as such, provides a unique look at the level of processing and evolution already under way in the group environment prior to cluster assembly. We present the number counts of X-ray point sources detected in a field covering the entire Cl0023 structure, as well as a cross-correlation of these sources with our extensive spectroscopic database. Both the redshift distribution and cumulative number counts of X-ray sources reveal little evidence to suggest that the system contains X-ray luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in excess to what is observed in the field population. If preprocessing is under way in the Cl0023 system, our observations suggest that powerful nuclear activity is not the predominant mechanism quenching star formation and driving the evolution of Cl0023 galaxies. We speculate that this is due to a lack of sufficiently massive nuclear black holes required to power such activity, as previous observations have found a high late-type fraction among the Cl0023 population. It may be that disruptive AGN-driven outflows become an important factor in the preprocessing of galaxy populations only during a later stage in the evolution of such groups and structures when sufficiently massive galaxies (and central black holes) have built up, but prior to hydrodynamical processes stripping them of their gas reservoirs.

description: We continue to study the fast X-ray transient XTE J1901+014 discovered in 2002 by the RXTE observatory, whose nature has not yet been established. Based on the XMM-Newton observations of the source in 2006, we have obtained its energy spectrum, light curves, and power spectrum in the energy range 0.5-12 keV, which are in good agreement with our results obtained previously from the data of other observatories. In turn, this suggests that the source's emission is stable in the quiescent state. The XMM-Newton observations also allowed the source's localization accuracy to be improved to <2", which subsequently enabled us to search for its optical companion with the RTT-150 and 6-m BTA (Special Astrophysical Observatory) telescopes. Combining optical, X-ray, and infrared observations, we have concluded that the optical companion in the system under study can be either a later-type star at a distance of several kpc or a very distant red giant or an A or F star. Thus, XTE J1901+014 may be the first low-mass fast X-ray transient.

description: Abstract – The paper analyses how the experience of distance learning, caused by the pandemic of Covid-19, interacted with the identity of the mathematics teachers involved in our research. Using the theoretical lens of Radford’s Theory of Objectification, we investigate the Semiotic Systems of Cultural Meaning of secondary school mathematics teachers. The data collected show that the teachers’ identity, interpreted as processes of subjectification, is strongly determined by the cultural context; two forms of resilience seem to emerge: one, which we define as "sheltered" and which is characterized by the restoration of the "traditional" didactic conditions, and another, which we define as "evolutionary" and which is characterized by embracing the new territory of artifactual thought defined by digital technologies, which opens a new space of action. Riassunto – Nel contributo si analizza come l’esperienza della didattica a distanza, determinata dalla pandemia scatenata dal Covid-19, ha interagito con l’identità degli insegnanti di matematica coinvolti nella nostra ricerca. Usando la lente teorica della Teoria dell’Oggettivazione di Radford, indaghiamo i Sistemi Semiotici di Significazione Culturale di insegnanti di matematica di scuola secondaria di secondo grado. I dati raccolti mostrano che l’identità degli insegnanti, interpretata come processi di soggettivazione, è fortemente determinata dal contesto culturale e sembrano delinearsi due forme di resilienza: una, che definiamo “arroccativa” e che è caratterizzata da una sorta di attesa del ripristino delle condizioni didattiche “tradizionali”, ed un’altra, che definiamo “evolutiva” e che è caratterizzata dall’accogliere il nuovo territorio del pensiero artefattuale definito dalle tecnologie digitali che apre un nuovo spazio di azione.

La matematica negli istituti tecnici dal dopoguerra agli anni ’90

description: Abstract – Mathematics in technical education has not only a practical function, but also a formative one of an exact mentality, comparable in relevance to that which ancient languages have in classical education. The technical education reform, initiated by the engineer Giuseppe Belluzzo (1876-1952) and formulated with law no. 889 of 1931, gave a new definition of technical institutes with regard to their organization and programs. The post-war reconstruction, the rapid growth of Italy during the so-called "Economic miracle" together with the need to compete on an international level, made it necessary to create new technical specialties in the first half of the seventies; these were inserted into the pre-existing school system to respond to the needs related to the training of new professional figures required by the changes taking place in the world of work and the development of new information technologies, which gradually became increasingly linked to mathematics. The study of the history of technical institutes and the analysis of the teachings imparted there thus becomes a key to reading the context drawn by the technological evolution of the late twentieth century and an instrument to understand future prospects. Riassunto – La matematica nell’istruzione tecnica ha una funzione non solo pratica, ma formativa di una mentalità esatta, comparabile per rilevanza a quella che nell’istruzione classica hanno le lingue antiche. La riforma dell’istruzione tecnica avviata dall’ingegnere Giuseppe Belluzzo (1876-1952) e formulata con la legge n. 889 del 1931 diede una nuova definizione degli istituti tecnici per quanto riguardava l’ordinamento e i programmi. La ricostruzione del dopoguerra, la rapida crescita dell’Italia durante il cd. “miracolo economico” unitamente alla necessità di competere sul piano internazionale, nella prima metà degli anni Settanta rese necessaria la creazione di nuovi indirizzi tecnici; questi si innestarono nell’impianto scolastico preesistente per rispondere alle esigenze connesse alla formazione delle nuove figure professionali richieste dai cambiamenti in atto nelle realtà di lavoro e dallo sviluppo delle nuove tecnologie informatiche, le quali via via furono sempre più legate alla matematica. Lo studio della storia degli istituti tecnici e l’analisi degli insegnamenti ivi impartiti diventa quindi chiave di lettura dello scenario disegnato dall’evoluzione tecnologica della fine del XX secolo e strumento di comprensione delle prospettive future.

description: The crystal-fields causing $|J>$ electron states splittings of the same second moment $σ^{2}$ can produce different total splittings $ΔE$ magnitudes. Based on the numerical data on crystal-field splittings for the representative sets of crystal-field Hamiltonians ${\cal H}_{\rm CF}=\sum_{k}\sum_{q}B_{kq}C_{q}^{(k)}$ with fixed indexes either $k$ or $q$, the potentials leading to the extreme $ΔE$ have been identified. For all crystal-fields the admissible ranges $(ΔE_{min},ΔE_{max})$ have been found numerically for $1\leq J\leq 8$. The extreme splittings are reached in the crystal-fields for which ${\cal H}_{\rm CF}s$ are the definite superpositions of the $C_{q}^{(k)}$ components with different rank $k=2,4$ and 6 and the same index $q$. Apart from few exceptions, the lower limits $ΔE_{min}$ occur in the axial fields of ${\cal H}_{\rm CF}(q=0)=B_{20}C_{0}^{(2)}+B_{40}C_{0}^{(4)}+B_{60}C_{0}^{(6)}$, whereas the upper limits $ΔE_{max}$ in the low symmetry fields of ${\cal H}_{\rm CF}(q=1)=B_{21}C_{1}^{(2)}+B_{41}C_{1}^{(4)}+B_{61}C_{1}^{(6)}$. Mixing the ${\cal H}_{\rm CF}$ components with different $q$ yields a secondary effect and does not determine the extreme splittings. The admissible $ΔE_{min}$ changes with $J$ from $2.00σ$ to $2.40σ$, whereas the $ΔE_{max}$ from $2.00σ$ to $4.10σ$. The maximal gap $ΔE_{max}-ΔE_{min}=2.00σ$ has been found for the states $|J=4>$. Not all the nominally allowed total splittings, preserving $σ^{2}=const$ condition, are physically available, and in consequence not all virtual splittings diagrams can be observed in real crystal-fields.

description: Abstract – To this day, after three decades of ever more widespread use, the computer is still only one of the many tools necessary in the architect’s daily activity, as it has complemented but not substituted those based on manual graphics skills. The pedagogical and didactic questions to be weighted between traditional and digital tools is therefore as current as ever. Presented herein is a proposed teaching method that, for the exposition of the fundamental principles of the discipline, alternates directly drawing at the board and projecting interactive digital models, but deems pencil drawings and model building to be the overriding tools in the formation of the budding architect. The didactic methodology adopted is founded on the consideration that such manual activities contribute to consolidating the ability to reason sequentially with positive impact both towards the acquisition and subsequent use of computer aided design. Riassunto – Ancora oggi, dopo circa un trentennio di generalizzazione del suo uso, il computer resta solo uno degli strumenti nella pratica quotidiana dell’architettura, che ha affiancato ma non sostituito quelli fondati sulla capacità grafica manuale. Il problema pedagogico e didattico del bilanciamento fra strumenti tradizionali e digitali è, dunque, sempre attuale. Si presenta, in questo lavoro, una proposta didattica che alterna, nella spiegazione dei principi fondamentali della disciplina, sia disegni alla lavagna sia la proiezione di modelli digitali navigabili, ma che considera il disegno a matita e la costruzione di plastici come strumenti prioritari nella formazione del giovane architetto. La metodologia didattica adottata si fonda sulla considerazione che tali attività manuali contribuiscano a consolidare l’attitudine al ragionamento sequenziale e che ciò possa avere riflessi positivi sia sull’apprendimento sia sul successivo utilizzo delle tecnologie informatiche per il disegno.

description: Abstract – This contribution describes a possible teaching practice of foreign language based on formative translation. It refers in particular to the experience of two Italian high schools and a German one within a European Erasmus+ project, of which the various phases of work are examined, from the selection of participants to the laboratory practice, from the formulation of the objectives to the final evaluation. Translation is considered as a process and not as a product, aimed at reflecting on the content of words and on the need to negotiate with the others the meaning to be attributed to things. The literary text as an expression of universal values and emotions becomes a place of meeting and exchange, the target language is perceived as a host language even by those non-Italian-speaking students who need to go through linguistic and cultural sharing to experience inclusion. Riassunto – Il presente contributo descrive una possibile prassi didattica delle lingue straniere basata sulla traduzione formativa. Si riferisce in particolare all’esperienza di due licei italiani e un liceo tedesco nell’ambito di un progetto europeo Erasmus+, di cui sono illustrate le fasi di lavoro, dalle selezioni dei partecipanti alla pratica laboratoriale, dalla formulazione degli obiettivi alla valutazione finale. La traduzione è intesa come processo e non come prodotto, finalizzata alla riflessione sul significato e sulla necessità di negoziare con l’altro da sé il senso da attribuire alle cose. Il testo letterario in quanto espressione di valori ed emozioni universali diventa luogo di incontro e di scambio, la lingua di arrivo è percepita come lingua di accoglienza anche da quegli studenti non italofoni che hanno necessità di passare attraverso la condivisione linguistica e culturale per sperimentare l’inclusione.

description: In this paper we prove that an operator which projects weak solutions of the two- or three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations onto a finite-dimensional space is determining if it annihilates the difference of two "nearby" weak solutions asymptotically, and if it satisfies a single appoximation inequality. We then apply this result to show that the long-time behavior of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, in both two- and three-dimensions, is determined by the long-time behavior of a finite set of bounded linear functionals. These functionals are constructed by local surface averages of solutions over certain simplex volume elements, and are therefore well-defined for weak solutions. Moreover, these functionals define a projection operator which satisfies the necessary approximation inequality for our theory. We use the general theory to establish lower bounds on the simplex diameters in both two- and three-dimensions. Furthermore, in the three dimensional case we make a connection between their diameters and the Kolmogoroff dissipation small scale in turbulent flows.

description: The problem of the minimization of least squares functionals with $\ell^1$ penalties is considered in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space setting. While there are several algorithms available in the finite dimensional setting there are only a few of them which come with a proper convergence analysis in the infinite dimensional setting. In this work we provide an algorithm from a class which have not been considered for $\ell^1$ minimization before, namely a proximal-point method in combination with a projection step. We show that this idea gives a simple and easy to implement algorithm. We present experiments which indicate that the algorithm may perform better than other algorithms if we employ them without any special tricks. Hence, we may conclude that the projection proximal-point idea is a promising idea in the context of $\ell^1$-minimization.

description: Abstract – Reading Literacy (RL), as one of the goals of language learning strategies, is supposed to encourage information literacy, critical thinking and, in all actuality, communication. This article aims at investigating the effect of teaching RL strategies on SFL (Spanish as a Foreign Language) learners in order to improve skills about textual analysis and literature comprehension. The didactic use of foreign literary texts deals with pursuing clear, motivating and challenging objectives for the students: prior knowledge exercises and text organization reveal that teachers can choose between different techniques as questioning, identifying the main ideas, summarizing, for instance. Also gaming has shown serious potential in building successful readers, as well as literary pieces with a captivating theme; escape rooms and breakout games involve pedagogical implications far superior to traditional approaches because they facilitate conversation between peers. Riassunto – La comprensione del testo, come obiettivo dell’apprendimento di una lingua, dovrebbe incoraggiare l’identificazione delle informazioni, il pensiero critico e, concretamente, la comunicazione. L’articolo si propone di indagare l’effetto dell’insegnamento delle strategie di comprensione sugli studenti di E/Le, al fine di migliorare le capacità di analisi testuale e comprensione della letteratura. L’uso della letteratura in aula persegue obiettivi chiari e motivanti per gli alunni: esercizi sulle conoscenze pregresse e sull’organizzazione del testo rivelano come gli insegnanti possano scegliere tra diverse tecniche, come l’interrogazione, l’identificazione delle idee principali, il riassunto. Anche il gioco ha mostrato un serio potenziale nella costruzione di lettori di successo, insieme a testi dai temi accattivanti; le implicazioni pedagogiche di escape room e giochi di fuga sono infatti di gran lunga superiori agli approcci tradizionali poiché facilitano la conversazione tra pari.

description: Abstract – Millions of content that take the form of speeches expressing hatred and contempt are shared online every day. These speeches, which connote what is called online hatred, can be found mainly in social networks, blogs, in comments on articles published online, etc. The use of new technological and digital tools has, in fact, created the conditions so that such externalisations can spread extremely quickly and on a large scale and reach a wide audience, with the consequence of favouring the diffusion of further similar expressions. After familiarising with the different facets of online hatred, we will try to clarify its pedagogical implications in order to identify the most functional educational actions to prevent and contrast this phenomenon. Riassunto – Ogni giorno vengono condivisi online milioni di contenuti che prendono la forma di discorsi che esprimono odio e disprezzo. Tali discorsi, che connotano quello che viene definito odio online, si rintracciano soprattutto nei social networks, nei blog, nei commenti di articoli pubblicati online, ecc. L’uso dei nuovi strumenti tecnologici e digitali ha, infatti, creato le condizioni affinché tali esternazioni possano diffondersi con estrema rapidità, propagarsi su larga scala e raggiungere un ampio pubblico, con la conseguenza di favorire la diffusione di ulteriori simili espressioni. Dopo aver familiarizzato con le diverse sfaccettature dell’odio online si cercherà di fare un pò di chiarezza sulle sue implicazioni pedagogiche al fine di identificare le azioni educative più funzionali per prevenire e contrastare tale fenomeno. Keywords – hate speech, online hate speech, social network, educational prevention strategies, educational contrast strategies.

description: Abstract – The first bell of the first day of the new school has sonde and everyone is faced with the past full of gaps and questions that the pandemic has left behind. No less profound are the questions through which we look to the future: what worked and what didn’t work in distance learning? What to keep and what to renew deeply? What to do in case of a new closure? Today, more than ever, the answers cannot only be provided by teachers and managers. The answers must be built with the pupils and theirs famiglie using this totally obvious time in presence, tryng to create authentic learning environments, meaningful emoziona bonds capable of reviving the presence of those who constitute our secure base even at a distance. Riassunto – La prima campanella del primo giorno della nuova scuola è suonata e ognuno si trova a fare i conti con il passato pieno di vuoti e di interrogativi che la pandemia ha lasciato dietro di sé. Non meno profonde sono le domande attraverso le quali si guarda al futuro: cosa ha funzionato e cosa non ha funzionato della didattica a distanza? Cosa mantenere e cosa rinnovare profondamente? Cosa fare nel caso di una nuova chiusura? Oggi più che mai le risposte non possono essere solo docenti e dirigenti a fornirle. Le risposte vanno costruite con gli alunni e con le loro famiglie utilizzando questo tempo affatto scontato in presenza, cercando di creare ambienti di apprendimento autentico, legami emotivi significativi capaci di far rivivere la presenza di coloro che costituiscono la nostra base sicura anche a distanza.

La competenza: valore e risorsa della persona

description: Abstract – The present contribution aims at understanding whether and to what extent competencies can be a resource of and for an individual. The assumption is that they are a value, in themselves and in relation to different cultures. Competence is a complex concept that refers to something deep within subjectivity, involving a multiplicity of contexts. The idea behind it all is that competencies become a resource, once recognized and declined; they “transform” and graft learning and growth processes and accompany the formation of human beings amid reflection, relationship and experience. Competence is configured as a process which, in a plastic way, links people to the world through action. Having competencies or being competent? The two dimensions are not contradictory, but they require to be combined with a virtuous lifelong educational process. The aim of the educational-training system is to design and implement curricular paths which promote critical competencies in those being educated, develop the ability to deal with problems, solicit operational dimensions, give meaning to personal identity and cultural belonging, solicit personal autonomy and creativity, freedom of choice, as well as the assumption of responsibility. Riassunto – Il presente contributo si propone di comprendere se e in quale misura le competenze possano configurarsi risorsa della e per la persona. Il presupposto è che esse abbiano, di per sé e in relazione alle diverse culture, valore. Competenza è un concetto complesso che si riferisce a qualcosa che si colloca nel profondo della soggettività, implicando una molteplicità di contesti. L’ipotesi da cui si prendono le mosse è che le competenze diventano risorsa se riconosciute e declinate; “trasformano” e innestano processi di apprendimento e di crescita e accompagnano la formazione dell’uomo tra riflessione, relazione ed esperienza. La competenza si configura come un processo che connette in modo plastico il soggetto al mondo attraverso l’agire. Avere competenze o essere competenti? Le due dimensioni non sono in contraddizione, ma richiedono di essere coniugate in un processo educativo virtuoso lungo tutto l’arco della vita. Il sistema educativo-formativo ha il compito di progettare e realizzare percorsi curricolari che promuovano negli educandi capacità critiche, sviluppino capacità di affrontare problemi, sollecitino dimensioni operative, conferiscano senso all’identità personale e all’appartenenza culturale, sollecitino l’autonomia e la creatività personali, la libertà di scelta e l’assunzione di responsabilità.

description: We introduce an invariant of Riemannian geometry which measures the relative position of two von Neumann algebras in Hilbert space, and which, when combined with the spectrum of the Dirac operator, gives a complete invariant of Riemannian geometry. We show that the new invariant plays the same role with respect to the spectral invariant as the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa mixing matrix in the Standard Model plays with respect to the list of masses of the quarks.

description: Abstract – On 8 May 2019, the “Memorial of the Italians of Auschwitz” was opened to the public, restored and renovated. The artwork was originally installed (1980) in the Auschwitz State Museum to narrate the Italian deportation. Personalities of Italian culture such as the writer and witness Primo Levi, the painter Mario Pupino Samonà, the musician Luigi Nono and the architecture studio BBPR collaborated. In 2011 the management of the Auschwitz museum declared the work no longer didactically suitable and closed Block 21 that housed it, leaving the Memorial in a state of neglect, until the Tuscany Region organized its transfer to Italy. The Institute “Saffi” in Florence, in collaboration with the University of Florence, has created an experience of Public History of Education with the aim of reworking Memorial teaching function in the 21st century. Riassunto – L’8 maggio del 2019, il Memoriale degli italiani di Auschwitz, restaurato e riallestito, riapriva al pubblico a Firenze. L’opera d’arte era originariamente installata nel Museo statale di Auschwitz per narrare la deportazione italiana. Vi avevano collaborato figure della cultura italiana come lo scrittore e testimone Primo Levi, il pittore Mario Pupino Samonà, il musicista Luigi Nono e lo studio di architettura milanese BBPR. Nel 2011, la direzione del museo di Auschwitz dichiarava l’opera non più didatticamente idonea e chiudeva il Blocco 21 che la ospitava lasciando il Memoriale in stato di abbandono, fino a quando la Regione Toscana ne ha organizzato il trasferimento in Italia. L’Istituto alberghiero Saffi di Firenze, in collaborazione con l’Università di Firenze, ha dato vita ad un’esperienza di Public History of Education con l’obiettivo di rendere il memoriale strumento di formazione professionale e rielaborandone la funzione didattica nel XXI secolo.
