An unpublished writing of Norberto Bobbio on the Centre of Methodological Studies of Turin. The text reproduces the last speech of Norberto Bobbio on the Centre of Methodological Studies of Turin, ...one of the first and most important Italian research centers in which the philosophical tradition in thought was to merge with scientific research. Written in 1987 primarily in honor of Ludovico Geymonat, one of the leading heads of the Centre together with Bobbio, it encompasses the whole story of the association from its initial disruptive phase up to the most ineffective and dispersive last years. The editor points out in this report the valuable references to the numerous and very important activities of the Turin Centre, but also the following three questionable presuppositions behind its activity: 1) identification of the Centre of Methodological Studies with Geymonat’s thinking; 2) existence of a unitary theoretical pattern in the Centre’s activities; 3) the neo-positivistic nature of this unitary theoretical pattern.
The construction industry is responsible for 30% of energy consumption, 40% of CO2 emissions, and 50% of raw material extraction. Introducing actions to improve the sustainability of induced impacts ...is urgently necessary, and it is essential to bring about this change by using innovative materials with a natural matrix and construction processes that optimise the raw materials and allow their recyclability. The article introduces the first outcomes of an interdisciplinary research project focused on applying geopolymers for building components. The research highlights the strategic role of sustainability combined with digitisation in order to improve ecological-environmental performance.

The historic center of Florence, universally recognized as a monumental unicum, has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1982. Although the city is generally known worldwide as the ...cradle of the Renaissance, most of the city walls of the historic center date back to the latest building transformations. Through the study of the main urban transformations carried out under the government of Pietro Leopoldo up to the assignment of Florence as the capital of the kingdom of Italy, this contribution traces the urban evolution of the modern history of Florence and reflects on the image of today's city, a result of the stratification of the epochs. Furthermore, the contribution collects some examples of recent interventions carried out on the building fronts that allow us to reflect on the issues and criticalities of the conservation and safeguarding of the urban landscape in its totality and complexity.
A defence of determinism in late Wyclif attributed to Peter Payne. In this essay is presented the edition of a short tract of natural theology based on the only two extant copies preserved in mss. ...Praha, Národní knihovna, V.F.9, ff. 68v-75v and Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, 4937, ff. 28r-34v. It is introduced by a historical and philological note. A defence of John Wyclif’s views on future contingents condemned at the Council of Constance in 1415, the tract turns out to be a startling profession of crude determinism, so radical that it would hardly have been upheld by Wyclif even in his later and most controversial writings. The anonymous tract can be plausibly ascribed to Peter Payne, an Oxford Wycliffite who left England possibly to escape prosecution and reached Prague only after Hus’s departure for Constance (11 October 1414). Probably composed from late 1419 to early 1420, when Wyclif’s theological views were the object of harsh criticism by many masters at the University of Prague, the tract has a literary form similar to that of a determinatio, the answer given by a master to a question at the end of a disputation. Hence, it contains eighteen arguments in support of Wyclif’s thesis that “everything that will come to pass, will come to pass by absolute necessity” and six arguments against this thesis, followed by relevant rejections. As to the writing technique, Payne draws a significant amount of textual materials from several sources without citing them: namely Wyclif, Thomas Aquinas, and Jan Hus.
Antonio Banfi’s letters to Giovanni Gentile. In this essay the Author presents the letters Antonio Banf wrote to Giovanni Gentile which are kept in the Archives at the Fondazione Giovanni Gentile. ...Sent to Gentile over a span of time between 1920 and 1942, the letters allow us to retrace Banfi’s biographical and philosophical path. They also make it possible to clarify the relationship – until now neglected – between two of the major figures in twentieth-century Italian philosophy.

L’articolo presenta dei percorsi didattici finalizzati all’apprendimento numerico in prima elementare, attraverso la ricerca e la conoscenza dei numeri con cui i bambini si confrontano nella ...quotidianità. I percorsi sono incentrati su attività di scoperta, di stampo laboratoriale e ludico, che hanno la finalità di promuovere le competenze numeriche di base, fondamentali per questo anno scolastico, proponendo anche sviluppi per ampliare e consolidare tali apprendimenti anche negli anni scolastici successivi. Per ogni percorso, vengono presentati alcuni possibili legami con i materiali creati all’interno del progetto MaMa – Matematica per la scuola elementare, che possono aiutare il docente per la progettazione di tali percorsi, consentendo di alternare attività di scoperta, concrete e manipolative, con momenti di riflessione e allenamento.
Ferritic stainless steel (FSS) is one of the high-temperature materials, used in many industries for sustainable applications such as power plants, automotive, offshore and chemical industries. ...Joining these materials is challenging due to the formation of an intermetallic and the grain growth with high-heat-input welding methods. Laser beam welding (LBW) that uses a low heat input was used successfully to join AISI 409 FSS tubes. In this work the welding speed and focal distance were varied as per a two-factor, three-level face-centred central composite design (FCCCD) to join AISI 409 FSS. A numerical model was developed to correlate the relationship between the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and LBW process parameters. The validation of the developed model was carried out using the analysis of variance. Both welding speed and focal distance have a significant effect on determining the UTS. The optimised process parameters provided for a better UTS as reported in this paper.
Este artigo destaca as semelhanças entre cinema e moda através do conceito de “materialidade”. Após o materiality turn nas ciências sociais e humanas, nos últimos anos as investigações ...intensificaram-se também nos film studies e media studies. Na sua intersecção com os fashion studies, a materialidade cinematográfica adquire aspectos altamente sugestivos ainda não explorados do ponto de vista das afinidades entre os dois campos. Se a moda existe essencialmente através do tecido e das suas tramas, o cinema existe através do filme projetado sobre uma tela, que também é tecido. Além disso, nos seus primórdios, o cinema era frequentemente associado ao conceito de “manufacto” e a sua construção material era confiada a mulheres que tinham tido experiência em ateliers de moda. Ambos produtos da modernidade, cinema e moda mantêm uma superfície exteriormente feminina baseada na techné. Ao criar um percurso teórico e conceptual, o artigo quer evidenciar a forma como a estética dos materiais (Cucinotta, 2018) no cinema é também construída através de conceitos extrapolados do mundo da moda. Ao apresentar uma análise crítica e estética desta união, queremos reconectar-nos a um espaço conceptual em que as ondas do tecido criam o movimento das imagens na tela e a própria pelicula se torna tecido sobre o qual criar linhas narrativas.
