Aristotle and Menander on the Ethics of Understanding

By: Valeria Cinaglia

In Aristotle and Menander on the Ethics of Understanding, Valeria Cinaglia offers a parallel study of Menander’s New Comedy and Aristotle’s philosophy focusing on subjects ranging from epistemology and psychology to ethics. Cinaglia does not aim to demonstrate the direct philosophical influence of Aristotle on Menander, but explores the hypothesis that there are significant analogies between the two that disclose a shared thought-world. Cinaglia shows that Aristotle and Menander offer analogous views of the way that perceptions and emotional responses to situations are linked with the presence or absence of ethical and cognitive understanding, or the state of ethical character development: the study of these analogies contributes to a deeper understanding of both frameworks involved.

Impact Analysis of Total Productive Maintenance

Critical Success Factors and Benefits

By: José Roberto Díaz-Reza,Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz,Valeria Martínez-Loya

This book present the state of the art in Total Productive Maintainance (TPM) and its benefits. The authors present a survey applied to 368 manufacturing industries in order to determine their level of execution of TPM. Then a series of causal models are presented. For each model, the authors present a measure of the dependency between the critical success factors and the benefits obtained, allowing industry managers to differentiate between essential and non-essential activities. The content also allows students and academics to obtain a theoretical and empirical basis on the importance of TPM as a lean manufacturing tool in the context of industry 4.0.

Epiphanies in the Modernist Short Story

Italian and English Perspectives

By: Valeria Taddei

The poetics of epiphany have long been recognised as a broad aesthetic trend of modernism, related to the power of art to reveal the hidden essence of reality. Yet the critical use of the concept is still contested, complicated by the fact that in many modernist works exceptional moments are anything but revealing. This book embraces the blurred nature of epiphanies and sets out to explore their effects in a comparative journey paralleling Anglophone and Italian modernist short fiction. The work of four modernist short story writers – Luigi Pirandello, James Joyce, Federigo Tozzi, and Katherine Mansfield – illuminates epiphanies as complex phenomena, connected to multiple aspects of modernist culture, which appear in artistic experiences developed independently in the same decades. The ideas of Henri Bergson, William James, Martin Heidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, among others, nuance our understanding of the stories and of the author's vision behind them. At least three threads emerge, as a result, as common characteristics of modernist epiphanies. First, they are a result of the ‘inward turn’ and of the curiosity about the psyche’s subconscious processes. Second, they attempt to rediscover lived experience as a source of partial but reliable knowledge. Third, they re-actualise mystical experiences as conduits to a secular insight about life. The main appeal of these modernist moments of enlightenment is precisely that they establish an atmosphere of ambiguity where multiple and sometimes irreconcilable potential meanings can be found. By so doing, they succeed in evoking the undifferentiated creative potential that, according to the widespread vitalist philosophies of the age, constitutes the essence of life. In reframing ambiguity and indeterminacy as spaces of creation and choice, epiphanies thus bring out a lesser known, life-affirming but not naïve vein of modernist inspiration.

The Neurobiology-Psychotherapy-Pharmacology Intervention Triangle

The need for common sense in 21st century mental health

By: João G. Pereira,Jorge de Almeida Gonçalves,Valeria Bizzari

This book intends to open the debate between three main aspects of clinical practice: psychotherapy (including psychological and philosophical influences), neurobiology and pharmacology. These three main themes are clinically applied in what we call the “Intervention Triangle”. The book will first focus on epistemologically distinct frameworks and gradually attempt to consider the integration of these three fundamental vertexes of practice. These vertexes are substantially unbalanced in the mental health field, and thus, this book tries to make sense of this phenomenon. Unique in its interdisciplinary and comprehensive view of mental health problems and approaches, this book offers a new perspective on unidisciplinary integration that previous publications have not considered. As an innovative contribution to its field, this volume will be particularly relevant to practitioners working towards integrative frameworks. It will also be of interest to students, clinicians and researchers, in particular, those working in psychology, medicine, psychiatry, philosophy, social work, and pharmacy.

Visual Retailing

Shaping the sense of spaces

By: Valeria M. Iannilli

The retail space is now recognized as the place where the enterprise enacts an important step in the process of value creation, not only from the economic point of view, but also regarding the relational processes it establishes with its users. The supply system of the enterprise is increasingly linked to the consistency of information, symbolic and sense assets. The organization of space, material and immaterial, leads to the creation of specific atmospheres in which displaying all the products means highlighting their main symbolic value. Through a skillful knowledge of the structures of perception, interpretation and motivation which underlie the mode of experiencing space - coupled with the ability of design to define its shape and significance - the visual merchandising project is able to lead the public through the brand’s new narrative experiences.

Levelling carbon pricing. A proposal for an inclusive, sustainable, modern energy and climate roadmap

By: Maria Lidia Romero Meira,Michele Masulli,Paolo Iorio,Rebecca Gironi,Valeria Termini

La lotta al cambiamento climatico è un bene pubblico globale e la COP 26 è un appuntamento chiave per affrontarlo. Tuttavia, mentre l'accordo sul clima che sarà negoziato nella COP 26 dovrà essere globale, la sua attuazione dovrà essere locale poiché sarà guidata da ogni singolo Stato firmatario. In questo contesto, un Global Carbon Price (GCP) ha le qualità di una soluzione win-win. All'interno del Technical WG dell'UN High Level Dialogue on Energy 2021, questo paper, dopo aver esaminato lo stato dell'arte della letteratura e valutato i risultati della ricerca empirica, analizza la relazione tra carbon pricing, sussidi e decarbonizzazione. Porta alla luce la proposta di un GCP che includa diversi strumenti economici -ETS, carbon tax, accise- alimentando un Fair Transition Fund per lo sviluppo inclusivo, come meccanismo flessibile, efficace e sostenibile per ridurre le emissioni globali di CO2.

Evolutionary Gerontology and Geriatrics

Why and How We Age

By: Giacinto Libertini,Graziamaria Corbi,Valeria Conti,Olga Shubernetskaya,Nicola Ferrara

This book provides concrete scientific basis that we can conceive the possibility of modifying or even completely canceling aging process, despite the fact that aging is commonly regarded as the result of the overall effects of many uncontrollable degenerative phenomena. The authors illustrate in detail the mechanisms by which cells and the whole organism age. Actions by which it is possible, or will be possible within a limited time, to operate for modifying aging are also debated. The discussion is conducted within the frame and the concepts of evolutionary medicine, which is also indispensable for distinguishing between the manifestations of aging and: (i) diseases that worsen with age, and (ii) acceleration of normal aging rates, caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits and other avoidable factors. The book also discusses the impact of aging on overall mortality and the strange situation that, according to official statistics, aging does not exist as cause of death. This book is a turning point between a gerontology and geriatrics conceived as the study and vain treatment of an incurable condition and one in which these disciplines examine the how and why of a physiological phenomenon that can be modified up to a possible total control. This means transforming the medical prevention and treatment of physiological aging from the greatest failure to the greatest success of medicine.
