Carlo Levi and Piero Gobetti
The article examines the friendship between two anti-fascists, both born and raised in Turin: Piero Gobetti and Carlo Levi. Starting from the influence that Gobetti exercised on the development of Levi's anti-fascism, from the common search for sources of political dynamism and energy that they both thought were lacking in the ruling classes of Italy in the first decades of the 20th century, the article goes on to indicate how and where Levi's th…

A Critical Guide to the Send Code of Practice 0-25 Years (2015), Janet Goepel, Jackie Scruton and Caroline Wheatley
This review is written amid the 2020 COVID-19 crisis in which the inability of social care to protect the most vulnerable has been cruelly exposed. Hence, I request understanding if my perspective on this manual for practice with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) young people is permeated with a measure of scepticism and critique which I will suggest is insufficiently reflected in the text. In other words: ‘That’s all well and good …
Kai Zen
Beginning with the group's involvement with Wu Ming's Ti chiamerò Russell: Romanzo totale 2002, this article examines the writing collective Kai Zen's open- and closed-participation writing projects, focusing on the similarities and differences between the two collectives’ approaches. The article argues that Kai Zen's greater adherence to popular literary genres, such as science fiction, the western and the romanzo rosa, gives priority to the out…

Stuttering and Cluttering (Second Edition)
Stuttering and Cluttering provides a clear, accessible and wide-ranging overview of both the theoretical and clinical aspects of two disorders of fluency: stuttering and cluttering. This edition remains loyal to the idea that stuttering and cluttering can best be understood by first considering various overarching frameworks which can then be expanded upon, and provides a clear position from which to disentangle the often complex interrelationshi…
Early Film Theories in Italy, 1896-1922
This collection is the first to bring together scholars to explore the ways in which various people and groups in Italian society reacted to the advent of cinema. Looking at the responses of writers, scholars, clergymen, psychologists, philosophers, members of parliament, and more, the pieces collected here from that period show how Italians developed a common language to describe and discuss this invention that quickly exceeded all expectations …
Desert Food Webs and Ecosystem Ecology
Food webs in deserts are often perceived to be simple. However, deserts have simple food webs only if the animals involved are small. Deserts may also have complex interactions in their food webs, involving omnivory and looping; the latter involves one species eating another at one stage of its life history and the reverse occurring at another stage. There is also an absence of compartmentalization, which consists of links that formed sub-systems…

Coleridge and the Nature of Imagination
Examining a range of Coleridge's writings, this book uses recent scientific research to understand how we have evolved to make mental representations of the counterfactual, how such transformative ess
The Space of Poetry
It is easy to use metaphors of structure (scaffolding, skeletons, architecture) when discussing poetic form. This essay takes that impulse seriously in an attempt to understand how prosodic form affects not poetry in general or poems in specific but the imagination of the reader or writer who engages with it. Cross-pollinating Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space with Agha Shahid Ali’s ghazals, this essay studies the ways in which rhyme, refrain, cou…

The lived experience of spiritual abuse
Over the years there has been considerable research investigating the controversial issues of cult recruitment, “mind control” and post-group difficulties of ex-members from a variety of religious groups. However, the less-well-defined phenomenon of “spiritual abuse” is still under-researched as a specific phenomenon. This is particularly evident in the lack of studies exploring the subjective, internal experience. This study reports on the lived…

Piero Gobetti's New World
Piero Gobetti's New World is both an introduction to Gobetti's thought and an in-depth study of the three main questions on which his writings focus: the relationship between Italian history and fascism, the nature of a genuine antifascist political culture, and the crisis of Italian liberalism in his day.

Telecare, telehealth and assistive technologies
The development of telecare services in the UK has been supported by grants from the respective governments of Scotland and Wales, and by the Department of Health in England. New services are being established, sometimes to operate alongside existing community equipment services and community alarm services. Elsewhere they are embracing a wider range of services including rehabilitation, intermediate care and health services designed to reduce us…

Fusion power
Fusion, which powers the sun and stars, is potentially an environmentally responsible and intrinsically safe source of essentially limitless energy on earth. The potential of fusion has been recognized for over 65 years, but mastering fusion on earth has proved to be an enormous scientific and technical challenge. It involves heating a large volume of dilute gas, containing equal parts of deuterium and tritium, to over 100M°C (M°C=one million deg…
State Aid or Band Aid? An Evaluation of the European Commission’s Approach to Public Service Broadcasting
The article evaluates the European Commission’s decisions on state aid in the broadcasting sector and outlines the logic on which these decisions are based. It maintains that the Commission’s approach to these cases illustrates an increasingly mature understanding towards the issue of state aid and the funding of public service broadcasters and thereby ipso factoacknowledges the importance of public broadcasting in the democratic life of citizens…

Dasher
Existing devices for communicating information to computers are bulky, slow, or unreliable. Dasher is an interface incorporating language modeling and driven by continuous two-dimensional gestures (e.g., a mouse, a stylus, or eye-tracker). Tests have shown that, after 1 hr of practice, novice users reach a writing speed of about 20 words per minute (wpm) while taking dictation. Experienced users achieve writing speeds of about 34 wpm, compared wi…

The Ethnic Ghetto in the United States
The original synthetic concept of the American ghetto was based upon the assumed casual relationships between an adverse environment, residential segregation and pathological social conditions. In response to re-evaluations of the process of assimilation, the validity of these relationships has been questioned but the original synthesis remains influential. It is argued here that without the reinforcement of an ethnically selective division of la…

Television and Violent Criminal Behavior
This study builds on the research concerning television viewing and aggression by extending the external validity, or generalizability, of the dependent variable. We assess the relationship between self-reported television viewing at 8, 10, and 12 years of age and the subsequent commission of a violent criminal act. This study is based on interview data from 48 males incarcerated for violent crimes and 45 nonincarcerated, nonviolent males matched…

Alternative Models for Sheltering Homeless Families
This study assessed costs, quality of life, services, length of stay, and clienteles in 9 nonprofit shelters for families in New York City. It compared different types of nonprofit shelters and used published data to compare the nonprofits as a class to welfare hotels and city‐operated congregate shelters. The nonprofit models provided a reasonable quality of life, and both more and better coordinated services than the welfare hotels at a slightl…

Where do I start?”
A general awareness of destructive cults is increasing with a number of groups self-destructing in recent years. What is generally less well known is the phenomenon of smaller, but no less destructive groups that are found in society. From the author's experience, few health professionals are knowledgable about cult dynamics and the variegated approach needed to address the therapeutic concerns of those who leave such groups. This paper will high…
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Timing in Stutterers' Speech
This study examined interarticulator timing amongst stutterers and non-stutterers from the perspective of extrinsic and intrinsic timing models of speech motor control. Timing relationships were examined for an oral closure task across stress, rate, and vowel differences. Sequential aspects of extrinsic timing theories were analyzed by peak velocity sequence profiles of upper lip, lower lip, and jaw, and nonsequential aspects by sequence period (…
