Conflict between creation and destruction, a sociological proposal

Sociology, conflicts, and sensitivity, the triad that supports, that constitutes, the bed on which and in which this discipline moves its steps. Since sociology is a meta-science, it can make use of methodological-cognitive tools of other disciplines related to itself: in this specific case, we are referring to psychoanalysis, and its way of conceiving intra-subjective conflict, especially in the field of human relations. Simmel's far-sighted sociology and his way of conceiving conflict as an instrument of balance between closeness and distance, between harmony and disarmament. Therefore, the present article has as its purpose to carry forward the hypothesis according to which at the root of human existence, of which conflicts are the analytical category of the same, as Collins argues; in this way  the conflicts can find their origin in this coexistence between opposites, which invests every social event, and not only natural

The influence of social capital on health issues among transgender and gender diverse people: a rapid review

This article aims to analyze the current literature on the social capital of transgender and gender diverse(TGD) people, given their fragility in social and health terms. The paper followed the guidelines developed by Tricco, Langlois, and Straus. The results of this paper reveal significant gaps in the literature relating to the social capital of TGD people and highlight how the various types of shared capital are for sexual health to be considered in future research on transgender health. This is the first article that analyzes in detail the relationship between social capital and TGD individuals. To date, there is no other scientific evidence in the literature in this regard. The paucity of scholarly evidence available for paper limits our ability to make conclusive statements about social capital of TGD people. Small sample sizes in the included studies warrant caution when deriving generalized conclusions about social capital

La riproduzione come fine ultimo degli organismi viventi: Genealogia di un paradigma economico

Mostrando le analogie tra il modello di Homo oeconomicus e quello che chiameremo Animal oeconomicum, nonché la genealogia del ragionamento “economico” applicato al comportamento animale, vengono messi in risalto gli impliciti e le debolezze di alcuni ragionamenti etologici frequenti; revisioni e critiche che hanno ridimensionato il concetto di Homo oeconomicus sono applicabili anche all’interpretazione raziocinante e calcolatrice del comportamento animale

Efficient design of multiple-fed leaky wave/Fabry-Perot antennas

A simple transmission line approach for the rapid analysis of multiple fed Leaky Wave antennas based on Fabry-Perot cavities is presented. The method is based on the superposition of the travelling leaky waves excited by each of the applied source. The propagation constant of the leaky waves inside the Fabry-Perot cavity is computed the Transverse Resonance Technique (TRM). The procedure is completely analytic since the antenna does not require a superstrate composed by unconventional FSS elements. This antenna configuration allows the synthesis of very high gain antennas while preserving reasonable bandwidth

Enhancing the role of multi-agent systems in the development of intelligent environments

Springer - Series Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, vol. 71The development of Intelligent Environments is a complex challenge. This complexity arises, in part, from the amount of different devices that need to be seamlessly integrated in a common and homogeneous environment, despite the fact of each device having its own characteristics. This heterogeneity of devices is particularly risky when one passes from the specification to the implementation phase, where all unexpected things start to happen. Multi-agent systems are the paradigm par excellence for implementing Intelligent Environments. However, traditionally, agents are only used at the implementation phase. In this paper we propose a new 3 step approach in which agents are used during all the development process, playing undoubtedly a much more preponderant role and making the path from the specification to the implementation a much easier and controllable one, always having in mind the challenges of the development of Intelligent Environments
