description: Empirically tested: organizations don't treat humor as a serious cognitive phenomenon, while serious latent problems with treating professionals as resources, other bricks in the wall, only grow. Many managers, often without any experience and knowledge in applied professions, can't even see that those latent problems exist. Ignorance, politics, intellectual discrimination, taking things for granted, seeking equilibrium, sticking to schemas, pushing away change agents, avoiding questions, holding frustration inside until somebody else in despair cracks up in an interview for a newspaper – does it sound familiar? Comments about that on the internet break records. So, what problems is IIB solving? And, what is the vision of IIB? Individuals are the main units of the new economic reality: the intellectual and immaterial exchange. They take multiple roles as both doers and customers. They complement and challenge each other. Neurodiversity and inclusion say their fair word in discovering and applying the "superpowers" towards shared goals. Collaborative, multi-educated, vision-driven individuals, developing their talents, are rather a norm than exotics. International collaboration, focused on solving wicked problems, overcomes cultural barriers. Technologies and their assisted memory facilitate interaction across time zones. Transitional thinking and its variants are applied in change processes, where every individual may be a change agent. No mediators are involved in interaction between professional groups and independent professionals. Imagination is taken seriously for high-risk innovation initiatives. The principle of "Keep it simple, stupid!" remains only on funny t-shirts, because complex, deeper thinking is finally appreciated as advantage, not nerdiness. Professionals are trusted, so the managerial levels in organizations are minimized, because organizations are now transformed into collaborations. It is natural brightness that shapes workplace, not workplace that incarcerates brightness. If an opportunity appears on the horizon, this information is public, and all the willing professionals compete for it on an equal basis. Their potential for dealing with a challenge at work is valued probably more than years of accumulated experience in similar contexts – because change is fluid cross-industry evolution, with spontaneity and its freedom for testing ideas. Because change comes from the outside. IIB online: https://intellectualandimmaterialbank.com/ Wise Jester: https://www.wisejester.org/

description: We consider super-inflating solutions in modified gravity for several popular families of $f(R)$ functions. Using scalar field reformulation of $f(R)$-gravity we describe how the form of effective scalar field potential can be used for explaining existence of stable super-inflation solutions in the theory under consideration. Several new solutions of this type have been found analytically and checked numerically.

description: We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for Holant problems over an arbitrary set of complex-valued symmetric constraint functions F on Boolean variables. This extends and unifies all previous dichotomies for Holant problems on symmetric constraint functions (taking values without a finite modulus). We define and characterize all symmetric vanishing signatures. They turned out to be essential to the complete classification of Holant problems. The dichotomy theorem has an explicit tractability criterion expressible in terms of holographic transformations. A Holant problem defined by a set of constraint functions F is solvable in polynomial time if it satisfies this tractability criterion, and is #P-hard otherwise. The tractability criterion can be intuitively stated as follows: A set F is tractable if (1) every function in F has arity at most two, or (2) F is transformable to an affine type, or (3) F is transformable to a product type, or (4) F is vanishing, combined with the right type of binary functions, or (5) F belongs to a special category of vanishing type Fibonacci gates. The proof of this theorem utilizes many previous dichotomy theorems on Holant problems and Boolean #CSP. Holographic transformations play an indispensable role as both a proof technique and in the statement of the tractability criterion.

description: The amplification of the Chr19q13.41 microRNA cluster (C19MC) is characteristic of Embryonal tumours with Multilayered Rosettes (ETMRs) – a rare and highly aggressive infantile brain tumour. Both histologically and molecularly, this tumour is noted to have a primitive cellular phenotype, characterized by the presence of neuroepithelial or neural stem-like cells. ETMRs have few recurrent genetic aberrations, with amplification of C19MC being the most common alteration. Present in ~90% of all ETMR cases, C19MC amplification and overexpression is considered to be the main driver of the disease, however limited knowledge exists regarding the how C19MC-encoded miRNAs promote oncogenesis or what their gene targets are. MiRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that are 17-22 nt in length and are important regulators of gene expression. They exert their function by binding the 3’UTR of mRNA transcripts, targeting them for degradation or inhibiting their translation, in a context-dependent manner. My work focuses on miR-520g, one of the most highly expressed C19MC-encoded miRNAs in ETMRs and how its aberrant expression may dysregulate neural stem cells (NSCs) during the developmental process. The controlled progression of stem cells through subsequent cell stages is particularly pertinent during early neurodevelopment, when the neural stem/precursor cells of the brain undergo transitions from neuroepithelial cells (NECs) to radial glial cells (RGCs) to intermediate precursor cells (IPCs) during a short window of time during development. These cells are critical to the development of the brain; responsible for producing all the different cell types that make up a functional brain. The dysregulation of any of these cell type by miR-520g could have detrimental effects to the overall development of the brain and/or result in tumorigenesis. I have found that overexpression (OE) of miR-520g in NECs promotes an RGC-like phenotype while simultaneously dampening the competence of the resulting RGC-like cells to differentiate. Mechanistically, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and interferon pathways may be dysregulated by miR-520g, leading to a more RGC-like state in NECs. Lastly, I provide evidence that miR-520g directly targets Nuclear factor I-B (NFIB), a transcription factor with a critical role in modulating NSC differentiation. My findings not only highlight potential new roles for miR-520g in regulating NSC biology, but also provide important functional evidence adding to a developmental framework for the potential mechanisms of C19MC in ETMR.

description: One of the major challenges for field management and decision-making is capturing the geological features of a reservoir. This task is even harder when an extreme heterogeneity of rock fabric and petrophysical properties prevails in the formation. This project presents the evaluation and optimization of the waterflooding process in two mature fields of complex geology in the Gulf of Mexico through the application of the capacitance-resistance model (CRM).The capacitance-resistance model (CRM) develops a semi-analytical expression that can trace the water flow, based on the signal introduced by injection rate variation and the corresponding response in the production rates. This method avoids the necessity for full dynamic simulations and reduced the unknown variables from millions in numerical simulation to hundreds or thousands. The CRM technology has been widely applied to real fields around the world proving to be a successful tool to identify main flow paths and barrier flows. However, a detailed methodology to evaluate the results and overcome the problems associated with data quality and reservoir heterogeneity have not been addressed. Then through the practice on implementing this technology for the two Mexican fields with different characteristics, several of the challenges associated with the connectivity evaluation and waterflooding optimization with real data were evaluated, allowing to develop a comprehensive workflow that can be followed in general practice to use the CRM as a reservoir management tool.

description: Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, an environmental yeast widely used in industry and agriculture, is also an opportunistic pathogen resistant to multi-antifungals. During the national surveillance in China, R. mucilaginosa has been documented from various hospitals and regions. At present, the molecular epidemiology of invasive infections caused by R. mucilaginosa and their resistance profiles to antifungals were unknown. Here we collected forty-nine strains from four hospitals located in different geographic regions from 2009 to 2019 in China, determined their genotypes using different molecular markers and quantified susceptibilities to various antifungals. Sequencing of ITS and D1/D2 regions in rDNA indicated that 73.5% (36/49) of clinical strains belong to same sequence type (rDNA type 2). Microsatellite (MT) genotyping with 15 (recently developed) tandem repeat loci identified 5 epidemic MT types, which accounted for 44.9% (22/49) of clinical strains, as well as 27 sporadic MT types. Microsatellite data indicated that the presence of an epidemic cluster including 35 strains (71.4%) repeatedly isolated in four hospitals for eight years. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) from the whole genome sequence data also supported the clustering of these epidemic strains due to low pairwise distance. In addition, phylogenetic analysis of SNVs from these clinical strains, together with environmental and animal strains showed that the closely related epidemic cluster strains may be opportunistic, zoonotic pathogens. Also, molecular data indicated a possible clonal transmission of pan echinocandins-azoles-5-flucytosine resistant R. mucilaginosa strains in hospital H01. Our study demonstrated that R. mucilaginosa is a multi-drug resistant pathogen with the ability to cause nosocomial infection.
The Minimum: Towards a Poetics of Transformation

description: The speakers in The Minimum, a collection of poems, cling to hope while the world deteriorates, transforms, and grows less hospitable from moment to moment; they look to the horizon with wary eyes and refuse to turn away. In the face of despair, responsibility and optimism bolster one another: exuberance, amazement, and compassion persist despite the worsening of the wounded Earth. Interplaying tenderness with dogged perseverance, The Minimum tumbles through vignettes of degraded landscapes, ebbing spiritual communities, faltering men, and precarious friendships. The collection vaults from intimation to excoriation, as grief, desire, bewilderment, and protest all crackle and meld. A critical exegesis in three parts follows: “Inhereitance: The Poethics of The Minimum.” The first part draws on works by Roy Miki, Joan Retallack, Matthew Zapruder, and Carl Phillips (among others) in an examination of how poetry can be ethical by upholding a sense of “unsolvability,” a key characteristic that separates poetry from other forms of writing. The second part examines four poems by contemporary poets – Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Kayla Czaga, Mary Jean Chan, and Nick Laird – that privilege “unsolvability” while navigating the tension between accountability, protest, loyalty, and the limits of one’s agency. The third part contains a reflection on how four poems in The Minimum productively uphold “unsolvability” in their depictions of environmental deterioration, grief and lineage, settler colonialism, and parenthood.

Assisted Common Information with an Application to Secure Two-Party Sampling

description: In this paper we generalize the notion of common information of two dependent variables introduced by Gács & Körner. They defined common information as the largest entropy rate of a common random variable two parties observing one of the sources each can agree upon. It is well-known that their common information captures only a limited form of dependence between the random variables and is zero in most cases of interest. Our generalization, which we call the Assisted Common Information system, takes into account almost-common information ignored by Gács-Körner common information. In the assisted common information system, a genie assists the parties in agreeing on a more substantial common random variable; we characterize the trade-off between the amount of communication from the genie and the quality of the common random variable produced using a rate region we call the region of tension. We show that this region has an application in deriving upperbounds on the efficiency of secure two-party sampling, which is a special case of secure multi-party computation, a central problem in modern cryptography. Two parties desire to produce samples of a pair of jointly distributed random variables such that neither party learns more about the other's output than what its own output reveals. They have access to a set up - correlated random variables whose distribution is different from the desired distribution - and noiseless communication. We present an upperbound on the rate at which a given set up can be used to produce samples from a desired distribution by showing a monotonicity property for the region of tension: a protocol between two parties can only lower the tension between their views. Then, by calculating the bounds on the region of tension of various pairs of correlated random variables, we derive bounds on the rate of secure two-party sampling.

description: Being the simplest element with just one electron and proton the electronic structure of the Hydrogen atom is known exactly. However, this does not hold for the complex interplay between them in a solid and in particular not at high pressure that is known to alter the crystal as well as the electronic structure. Back in 1935 Wigner and Huntington predicted that at very high pressure solid molecular hydrogen would dissociate and form an atomic solid that is metallic. In spite of intense research efforts the experimental realization, as well as the theoretical determination of the crystal structure has remained elusive. Here we present a computational study showing that the distorted hexagonal P6$_3$/m structure is the most likely candidate for Phase III of solid hydrogen. We find that the pairing structure is very persistent and insulating over the whole pressure range, which suggests that metallization due to dissociation may precede eventual bandgap closure. Due to the fact that this not only resolve one of major disagreement between theory and experiment, but also excludes the conjectured existence of phonon-driven superconductivity in solid molecular hydrogen, our results involve a complete revision of the zero-temperature phase diagram of Phase III.

description: Uncovering and addressing shifts in customers’ needs in response to economic, political, social, and technological disruption is a proven strategy to create and sustain competitive advantage. However, as the energy practice director for a Canadian professional IT services firm, I discovered cognitive biases and organization structure impediments undermine customers’ ability to articulate what they needed. For the same reasons, we also struggled to prioritize those market opportunities offering the greatest potential value ex ante. This thesis outlines my journey as a practitioner-scholar to address this problem-of-practice: how do firms reliably identify new sources of competitive advantage ex ante during periods of higher environmental turbulence?Practitioner-scholars are uniquely positioned to address the problem-of-practice and bridge the rigor-relevance gap. My thesis consists of three papers that present the results of my abductive research process and outlines my practitioner-scholar research framework. The first paper kicks off my abductive research process where I examine, through a single case-study, how CSL Limited identified and captured new sources of competitive advantage ahead of larger rivals. Drawing on the problem-solving perspective, I posit CSL’s focus on identifying and resolving strategic problems acted as the catalyst to identify and capture new sources of competitive advantage. Then, I propose a business-problem typology and portfolio approach to illustrate how managers may apply these learnings. The second paper is the next step in my abductive research process. I create a conceptual model and hypotheses to deductively test the relationship between customer-problem-formulation-by-the-sale-function and new product development (NPD) performance. NPD is risky and managers are interested in contextual specific factors that both increase mean level returns with lower associated variability (narrower dispersion of returns) to optimize the risk-reward trade-off. Applying the multiplicative heteroscedasticity estimation methodology, I find increasing stakeholder engagement and during periods of higher environmental turbulence increase NPD mean-level returns and lowers associated variability. The third paper presents my practitioner-scholar research framework, contributions, and path forward to drive my research and address the problem of practice as a practitioner-scholar.

description: We study the effect of Coulomb drag between two closely positioned graphene monolayers. In the limit of weak electron-electron interaction and small inter-layer spacing ($μ_{1(2)}, T\ll v/d$) the drag is described by a universal function of the chemical potentials of the layers $μ_{1(2)}$ measured in the units of temperature $T$. When both layers are tuned close to the Dirac point, then the drag coefficient is proportional to the product of the chemical potentials $ρ_D\proptoμ_1μ_2$. In the opposite limit of low temperature the drag is inversely proportional to both chemical potentials $ρ_D\propto T^2/(μ_1μ_2)$. In the mixed case where the chemical potentials of the two layers belong to the opposite limits $μ_1\ll T\llμ_2$ we find $ρ_D\propto μ_1/μ_2$. For stronger interaction and larger values of $d$ the drag coefficient acquires logarithmic corrections and can no longer be described by a power law. Further logarithmic corrections are due to the energy dependence of the impurity scattering time in graphene (for $μ_{1(2)}\gg T$ these are small and may be neglected). In the case of strongly doped (or gated) graphene $μ_{1(2)}\gg v/d\gg T$ the drag coefficient acquires additional dependence on the inter-layer spacing and we recover the usual Fermi-liquid result if the screening length is smaller than $d$.

description: Il problema della visio Dei: si intende comprendere cosa Dio sia, non chi sia. Fondamentale è l'analogia con la struttura della conoscenza sensibile, caratterizzata dall'identificazione fra soggetto conoscente e oggetto conosciuto. L'amore, inteso come sensus animae, opera per mezzo di una conoscenza identificante attraverso una modificazione del sentimento, anche se con una fondamentale differenza rispetto agli altri sensi, in quanto essenzialmente caratterizzato dalla libertà. La declinazione di amore e libertà è uno dei possibili usi dell'amore. Percorsi alternativi possono fondarsi sulla dottrina della doppia immagine dell'uomo con la conseguenza che altro è l'amore come sensus animae, altro è la sua rectitudo, individuata nel decor. La relazione che si instaura tra soggetto conoscente e termine dell'azione conoscitiva trasforma il primo, superando la contrapposizione soggetto-oggetto propria della conoscenza razionale. Nell'atto conoscitivo dell'amor, l'oggetto rappresenta lo specchio necessario attraverso il quale il soggetto diviene trasparente a sé.

description: Multifunctional materials combine different materials with complementary properties to create a final product with synergy effects. Such composite materials can be produced by controlling particle characteristics. Particles in a medium can be oriented spatially by various fields. Flow can be applied to various materials (e.g., non-conductive), and is compatible with biomedical applications. However, controlling particles' microstructures during flow is challenging due to the influence of interaction forces between nanoparticles with different characteristics (e.g., size, shape, polydispersity) and the fluid medium's properties.Here, we realize a multifunctional material combining a polymeric matrix with anisotropic nanoparticles creating tunable flow-induced anisotropy. Two model systems were used; the platelet nano clay and the rod-like titania to produce colloids with size polydispersity. Flow was applied to suspensions at various rates using a syringe pump to control the Peclet ratio. Suspensions’ microstructure under flow was studied via small angle light scattering (SALS) which is cost-effective, and does not require research facilities (e.g., synchrotron). SALS provided us a novel averaged orientation and spatial distribution information of polydisperse suspensions with a non-monotonic orientation dynamic that is not possible in monodisperse systems.Using orientation information, a biopolymer suspension was developed as a bio-adhesive for wound healing and capable of providing rapid blood hemostasis when applied by a protocol compatible with surgical conditions. Microstructures of oriented titania rods that obtained by suspension’s crosslinking showed higher tensile properties parallel to the nanorods’ orientation.Flow-induced lithography was also used to create anisotropic 3D structures with nano clay and titania in polymer blends. The resultant anisotropic hydrogel composite had significant compressive properties and cell viability over one week and can be used with both acellular scaffolds and cell-containing inks.Overall, the developed SALS system can be combined with any optically transparent system to establish processing schemes to control dispersed particles’ microstructures under flow. This aspect can generate anisotropic structures, regardless of particle characteristics, as we showed here for two biomedical inspired applications, namely bio-adhesive and flow-lithography scaffolds. Such control on particles’ microstructures translates in nanocomposites with exceptional mechanical properties at the macro level.
La dottrina dei sensi spirituali in Guglielmo di S. Thierry
Creators: name: Tulli, Maria Chiara
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2008

description: Guglielmo di Sait-Thierry descrive attraverso il linguaggio dell’amore un percorso di conoscenza e avvicinamento a Dio. Considera i sensi spirituali come massima espressione dell’unione a Dio, paralleli all’esperienza corporea, in grado di condurre verso una comprensione superiore.
 La sensazione, insieme attiva e passiva, è anche azione dell’organo sensitivo sull’oggetto percepito, incontro tra soggetto e oggetto, e trasformazione del soggetto senziente in oggetto percepito.
 Sono i passaggi che si ritrovano nel percorso verso la conoscenza come somiglianza: percezione – avvicinamento – assimilazione.

La teoria dell'immagine dei Libri Carolini
Creators: name: Bianchi, Amos
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2008

description: Tra le posizioni antitetiche, emerse nei primi secoli di storia del cristianesimo, di accettazione e di rifiuto delle immagini, i Libri Carolini assumono una posizione intermedia.
L'immagine, collegata al visibile e all'esteriorità, non può essere in relazione con il vero, né possiede vita senso e ragione. Essa tuttavia ha il compito di mantenere il ricordo dei fatti e, grazie a tale funzione, aiuta la visione spirituale.
Il fatto che solo grazie alla iscrizione che l'accompagna, un'immagine acquisti il proprio significato preciso, indica una sorta di autonomia dell'estetico, in cui la bellezza non ha alcun legame con la santità e con la sfera morale.

Understanding the processes of oilsands process-affected water phytoremediation using native plant species

description: Bitumen mining in the oil sands region in Alberta, Canada, generates large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). Naphthenic acid fraction compounds (NAFCs) are a major contributor to OSPW toxicity and are a target for removal using remediation approaches. Phytoremediation, the use of plants to remediate the environment, is a biotechnology that has commercial potential as a large-scale treatment strategy for OSPW. Although studies performed thus far demonstrate that phytoremediation is a feasible approach, the mechanisms involved in this process are not well understood. This thesis aims to understand how upland plants can attenuate or modify NAFCs in OSPW and gain insight into the physiological and molecular events that occur when NAFCs are taken up into plant tissue. Lab-scaled hydroponic and soil experiments, greenhouse sub-surface flow mesocosm experiments, and plant NA-tolerance analysis were performed using isotopic NA and NAFC compounds. Plants were shown to take up isotopically-labelled NAs into the root and shoot tissue and localize NA-derived carbon in newly growing tissues. NAFC uptake was observed and was enhanced when plants were grown in media adjusted to lower pH levels naturally found in the rhizosphere. The presence of plants in mesocosm systems resulted in greater decreases in classical O2 NAFC concentrations than in no-plant mesocosms and overall decreases in total NAFC concentrations were observed within 7 days. Additionally, toxicity was reduced after OSPW treatment in plant and no-plant mesocosms. Mass balance analysis revealed that most of the NA-derived carbon taken up by plants remains within the root and shoot tissue, but a small amount was captured in headspace traps, suggesting that limited phytovolatilization processes are involved in plant NA metabolism. Finally, selected NA-tolerant plants displayed NA-derived carbon localization in the vasculature of leaves but no overall difference in the uptake of NAs compared to wildtype plants. The results of this research support the use of phytoremediation using upland plants as a viable approach to OSPW treatment and are foundational for future studies on NAFC metabolism in plants.
Le parole e la visione
Comunicare l'esperienza visionaria: il caso di Ildegarda di Bingen
Creators: name: Fiocchi, Claudio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2008

description: L'articolo intende evidenziare la strategia adottata da Ildegarda di Bingen per divulgare le visioni ricevute.
Si mette allora in luce la strada dell'annullamento della personalità che riduce Ildegarda a uno specchio che deve riflettere le parole e le immagini di cui è stata testimone.
L'esperienza di Ildegarda si dimostra essenzialmente visiva e parzialmente auditiva, con rarissimi accenni alla percezione di altri sensi.L'analisi del testo mette in evidenza una profonda sfiducia nella parola umana ritenuta strutturalmente incapace di inadatta a comunicare l'esperienza visionaria.
Per questo motivo assume importanza l'adozione di immagini miniate, disegnate dalla stessa Ildegarda, al fine di supplire ai limiti del linguaggio degli uomini.

description: We present applications of tropical geometry to some integrable piecewise-linear maps, based on the lecture given by one of the authors (R. I.) at the workshop "Tropical Geometry and Integrable Systems" (University of Glasgow, July 2011), and on some new results obtained afterward. After a brief review on tropical curve theory, we study the spectral curves and the isolevel sets of the tropical periodic Toda lattice and the periodic Box-ball system.

Renegotiating the self : how eight women diagnosed with breast cancer re-shaped a sense of self-identity
Creators: name: Johnston, Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: A narrative analysis was conducted to explore the research question: How do women reshape their sense of self-identify after being diagnosed with breast cancer? The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer can leave women feeling as if their pre-cancer identity no longer fits for who they perceive themselves to be. There is a need for a better understanding of how women negotiate their experiences into a post-diagnosis self-identity. Counselling psychology is well-suited for this research because of its emphasis on helping individuals to navigate the various social, emotional, relational, and health-related concerns that women with breast cancer experience. A social constructionist framework informed the exploration of the social and interpersonal contexts within which women experience breast cancer. Eight women participated and volunteered their time and their intimate experiences. Each semi-structured interview was audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. A holistic-content approach was used to interpret and analyze each interview in order to write an individual narrative for each participant. An across-narratives thematic analysis identified six common themes including: 1) The Future-Focused Self; 2) The “I am Not a Survivor” Self; 3) The Intentional Self; 4) The Mindful Self; 5) The Social Self; and, 6) The Self as a Woman with Breast Cancer. The themes were validated by peer and expert reviewers. Participants’ narratives and themes were then applied to a model of re-shaping self-identity as a transition, in order to better understand the influences of the personal, social, and cultural contexts in which women experience breast cancer. The resulting model holds implications for future research, theory and practice. Previous models of the breast cancer experience hypothesize about how women’s self-identities are impacted by an experience of breast cancer, while the current model explains how women move through such a process. Counselling psychologists and healthcare professionals can use the model to identify where in the process of the cancer experience that a woman may be, and which contextual factors may be influencing her experience. Future research can expand on this model by exploring it in greater depth, and longitudinally in order to better delineate how the process unfolds.
La lettura emozionale in Bernardo di Clairvaux
Non verba sed affectus
Creators: name: Verrucci, Gianluca
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2008

description: L'articolo si propone di mostrare come il sermo esegetico bernardiano sia volto all'amplificazione della dimensione emotiva, amplificazione che determina un'emergenza di senso rispetto al normale livello di comunicazione: la parola, nell'ermeneutica di Bernardo, non è segno linguistico il cui significato sia univocamente coglibile dall'intelletto, ma, caricandosi della sua materialità, dilata e moltiplica retoricamente gli echi emotivi che può produrre, dischiudendo nella dimensione affettiva la sua verità.
Lo stile retorico di Bernardo viene quindi analizzato attraverso l'elaborazione di una metodologia di lettura che, riproducendo graficamente la struttura sintattica di alcuni passi dei Sermones super Cantica Canticorum e ispirandosi al principio guida della priorità degli affetti (affermato da Bernardo stesso), consente di sottoporre a verifica l'ipotesi iniziale.

Argentina chiama Italia: Friuli risponde
Creators: name: Serafin, Silvana
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano

Subjects: Migrazioni Friuli Argentina

description: The study analyzes the migratory waves from Friuli which, from the 1870s up to the post-World War II years, extensively moved towards Argentina, settling in the areas around the cities of Santa Fe, Cordoba, Entre Ríos, Chaco and Buenos Aires, but reaching also regions as far away as Patagonia. The accurate and well diffused net of the Fogolār Furlan, besides its function as friendly society, also provides to the promulgation of ancient traditions and mores among the new generations, transmitting on to them the cultural, linguistic and ethnic memory of the motherland. Epistles, tales, novels and poems form a paideia which is thus constantly being enlivened, eveng among those who assumed Argentinian nationality or were born in the country. Of utmost interest is, therefore, the resulting literary corpus, representing as it does a renewed search for identity in the form of a dialogue with the world, extending itself well beyond the contingency of boundaries and transmitting the universal essence of logos.
