Woman entrepreneur and social entrepreneurship

The scope of MEYES is women entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship. In the 1980s, the first studies on women entrepreneurs emerged, highlighting the differences between female and male entrepreneurs: business characteristics, motivations for engaging in entrepreneurial activities, assessment of the main obstacles in starting and developing a business, personal traits, management styles, or chosen industry sectors. These differences justify studying women entrepreneurs independently from conventional or standard business theory, which compares female entrepreneurs to their male counterparts. In this sense, the use of male values, ways of thinking, and acting in the analysis of female e…

Nomen est omen : kirjoittaja oppimassa nimien symboliikkaa Alice Munron novelleista

2021

Kirjoittamisen pro gradu tutkielmani tavoitteena on selvittää, miten valittu henkilöhahmon nimi ja luonne täsmäävät eli onko nimivalinta uskottava ja kuinka kirjailija voi kertoa henkilöhahmosta jotain olennaista pelkän nimen avulla. Pyrin löytämään kirjoittajana kirjoittamisen tutkimukseen vastauksia, kuinka nimillä tuodaan henkilöhahmoille syventävä identiteetti tai kuinka rakennan henkilöhahmon nimen avulla tarinaan uuden tason? Kanadalaisen Nobel-palkitun kirjailijan Alice Munron (s.1931) novellit ovat tunnettuja monitasoisuudestaan, mutta niiden henkilöhahmojen nimeämistä on tutkittu vähän tai sitä, käyttääkö Munro henkilöhahmojen nimeämisessä tietoista menetelmää. Analysoin otantaa Mu…

Soundless Screams: Graffiti and Drawings in the Prisons of the Holy Office in Palermo

2017

The discovery of graffiti in the early years of the twentieth century by the folklorist Giuseppe Pitré left by prisoners of the tribunal of the Spanish Inquisition in Palermo has been followed by more extensive investigations in recent years. These images and words have added a concrete and particular dimension to Sicily’s position at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. As well as images of saints and naval battles are to be found inscriptions not only in Italian, Sicilian and Latin but also in English and Hebrew. This article cross references this visual and textual evidence with the relevant archives of the tribunal in order to provide a powerful microhistory of suffering and resilience …

Jazz, cine y locura. Notas a propósito del cine jazzístico de Clint Eastwood

2004

Acaso en ninguna otra actividad se halla tan asociada la creatividad con la locura como en el jazz, la más importante revolución del lenguaje musical del siglo veinte. Considerado universalmente como el primer jazzista, cuentan los libros que el cornetista Buddy Bolden se volvió loco durante un desfile y pasó los últimos veinticuatro años de su vida en un manicomio. En consonancia con él, buena parte de la progenie musical de este loco de Luisiana, durante los años cuarenta y cincuenta, sufrieron algún tipo de crisis que les abrió el camino del pabellón psiquiátrico: Mingus, Young, Parker, Powell, Monk ... Precisamente sobre el último de los músicos citados gira la cinta producida por Clint…

Environmental drivers of breeding sites in blackfly species of medical and veterinary importance in eastern Spain

2021

Geographical distribution and abundance of the pupae of six blackfly species of medical and veterinary concern were studied in eastern Spain according to three different sets of explanatory variables including in-stream variables, both (i) abiotic (i.e., physicochemical) and (ii) biotic (i.e., richness and abundance of either taxonomically or ecologically close related taxa), as well as (iii) meteorological and landscape variables. The results showed specific habitat requirements for pupation in Simulium (Boophthora) erythrocephalum (De Geer, 1776) and Simulium (Wilhelmia) equinum (Linnaeus, 1758), two of the six species studied regarding elevation and temperature. While the rest of the spe…

Mainz Institute of Multiscale Modeling

Computational methods and data-driven modeling have become indispensable tools across the sciences. The highly interdisciplinary Mainz Institute for Multiscale Modeling brings together researchers from different areas in natural and life sciences with researchers in mathematics and computer science. Our research follows two main thrusts: developing multiscale models informed by simulation and experiment, and pushing the boundaries of computational methods. M3ODEL has been established in July 2019 as one of the Top-level Research Area funded through the Research Initiative of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, and aims to facilitate and connect computational and modeling-oriented research ac…

Flora of Middle Asia collection

The collection of vascular plants from Middle Asia (mainly Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with some from Uzbekistan). It consists of approx. 15,000 specimens with ca. 6,000 identified. They were collected during 2006-2021 in almost all vegetation types and habitats of the Global Hotspot of Biodiversity “Mountains of Central Asia”. The collection was used to comparative studies on several groups of species and is the voucher collection for a number of ecological studies.

Atenuação em entrevistas do projeto NURC

2017

Quando interagimos, há uma série de elementos que são importantes para o sucesso ou fracasso da interação, pois, em geral, locutor e interlocutor procuram salvaguardar a imagem que cada um deseja que o outro considere. Mais ainda, quando interagimos, negociamos e, dependendo do que dizemos, teremos ou não sucesso no que pretendemos. Para minimizar possíveis efeitos negativos de atos que possam causar prejuízos à interação, fazemos uso de determinadas estratégias conversacionais que têm a função de regular a relação interpessoal e social dos interactantes (Briz, 1995). São elementos que suavizam, mitigam, reparam, escondem a verdadeira intenção do locutor (Briz, 2007). Dessa forma, nosso obj…

An optimization approach for balancing global wood demand and environmental goals on management strategies in Swedish forests

2018

The transition towards the bio-based economy in the future increases the demand for raw materials from the forests. This will increase the extraction of wood from the forests but may adversely affect its biodiversity and other ecosystem services (ESS). The growth rate of most tree species in Sweden is predicted to increase because of changing climate. It will however be counterbalanced by an increased risk of damage due to extreme weather events such as storms. Therefore, it is necessary to develop adaptive management measures that exploit the benefits of climate change while minimizing the damages on growing stock, ESS and biodiversity resulting from its risks. It is further important to c…

S. Antonio Abate Church

This small and elegant chapel, dedicated to S. Antonio Abate, whose devotees were the crusaders coming back from Holy Places, was commissioned by Manfredi I. It is in fact the private chapel of the Chiaramonte family. Among its peculiarities, high on a wall, there is the discovery of a Christ face portray similar to that one painted on a roof beam of the Sala Magna of the Steri.
