When intentions turn into action: pathways to successful firm performance
2021
Entrepreneurship brings wealth to nations and contributes to their economic growth. People can take many paths to become entrepreneurs. Some join the family business, whilst others are born entrepreneurs, letting their innate intuition lead them into firm creation. For many, though, being able to learn and acquire the right skills is critical for a successful career as an entrepreneur. Like other human capital factors, entrepreneurial skills can be acquired. In today’s fast-changing society, it is of utmost importance for entrepreneurs not only to gain these skills but also to be surrounded by a supportive environment that will (1) guide them in the creation of their business idea and (2) h…
Bello e Idea nell’estetica del Seicento
2007
The Beautiful and The Idea in 17th-Century Aesthetics In his renowned lecture on the Idea, which he delivered at the Academy of Saint Luke in 1664, Giovan Pietro Bellori asserts the superiority of ideal beauty against the slavish imitation of reality and the unbridled freedom of the imagination. However, an equally important, albeit lesser known, contributor to the formulation of this classicist aesthetic theory is Giovan Battista Agucchi, author of a Treatise on Painting that appeared in fragmentary form in 1646. In this work, Agucchi identifes beauty as the truest and highest aim of painting; he attributes to the artist the power to contemplate the Idea, and confers a profound cognitive v…
Type-D personality and depersonalization are associated with suicidal ideation in the German general population aged 35–74: Results from the Gutenber…
2009
Suicidal ideation (SID) is a major risk factor for suicide attempts. Mental disorders are among the strongest correlates of suicide, with depression and anxiety disorders playing a major role. The present study aims to investigate the contribution of under researched factors contributing to SID such as depersonalization, Type-D personality and cardiovascular risk factors.Factors associated with SID were investigated in a sample of N=5000 participants (aged 35-74 years) of the community-based survey "Gutenberg Heart Study". The factors were assessed by self-report instruments, computer-assisted interviews and medical examination.7.5% of the sample reported SID over the last 2 weeks. In the u…
Progetti per una città possibile. Il concorso per il palazzo della Regione a Palermo
2021
Una serie di concorsi di architettura nel periodo che intercorre tra il 1947 e il 1954, anni del miracolo economico, vengono banditi per ridisegnare Palermo; alcuni di questi hanno preso corpo nella loro realizzazione (molto spesso differente dall’idea progettuale), altri invece sono rimasti sulla carta nei cassetti degli archivi. Proprio questi progetti, perché non sviliti da compromessi, sono quelli che possono essere considerati il termometro della cultura architettonica del tempo.
Zeusi e la bellezza di Elena
2004
Dall’antichità fino al Settecento (Plinio, Cicerone, Boccaccio, Ghiberti, Pico della Mirandola, Alberti, Ludovico Dolce, Bellori, Giovan Battista Marino, Batteux), vengono esaminate le varianti dell’aneddoto di Zeusi (V-IV sec. a. C.) che, per dipingere Elena nel tempio di Hera lacinia, prese a modello le cinque più belle fanciulle di Crotone. Nelle varie fonti la vicenda oscilla tra imitazione realistica e idealizzante; attraverso l’analisi di queste trasformazioni semantiche si tenta di dimostrare come la storia di Zeus, lungi dal costituire un mero topos, assurga a paradigma ermeneutico della creazione artistica.
Annihilators of tensor density modules
2007
Abstract We describe the two-sided ideals in the universal enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras of vector fields on the line and the circle which annihilate the tensor density modules. Both of these Lie algebras contain the projective subalgebra, a copy of sl 2 . The restrictions of the tensor density modules to this subalgebra are duals of Verma modules (of sl 2 ) for Vec ( R ) and principal series modules (of sl 2 ) for Vec ( S 1 ) . Thus our results are related to the well-known theorem of Duflo describing the annihilating ideals of Verma modules of reductive Lie algebras. We find that, in general, the annihilator of a tensor density module of Vec ( R ) or Vec ( S 1 ) is generated by …
On i-topological spaces: generalization of the concept of a topological space via ideals
2006
[EN] The aim of this paper is to generalize the structure of a topological space, preserving its certain topological properties. The main idea is to consider the union and intersection of sets modulo “small” sets which are defined via ideals. Developing the concept of an i-topological space and studying structures with compatible ideals, we are concerned to clarify the necessary and sufficient conditions for a new space to be homeomorphic, in some certain sense, to a topological space.

2018
Con l’aumento dell’uso dell’energia solare, sia in ambito civile che in ambito industriale, diventa sempre più importante il problema della manutenzione e della gestione dei pannelli fotovoltaici.Il dispositivo Safety Cover Hydro - PV, ideato e brevettato dai membri dalla Safety Environmental Engineering (spin-off dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo che opera nell’ambito della Sicurezza Ambientale) consente di superare tali limiti
¿Cabe hablar de una «generación de la crisis»? Discusión en torno a una noción sobreexplotada
2018
This article states that nowadays there is an overuse (or a misuse) of the «Generation» idea. The discussion among many authors over the «Generation of crisis» concept suggests that it is useful to outline the characteristics of the target of population of the collective of youth who are mainly affected by the economic and social crisis over the past years. Nevertheless, through analyzing the meanings of the «Generation of Crisis» made by Mannheim, Ortega and other classic authors, it is clear that the social class approach together with the generational one are needed to define this concrete concept. The conclusion of the articleis that both approaches are seen as underpinning their utilit…
Evaluating depressive symptoms and their impact on outcome in schizophrenia applying the Calgary Depression Scale

Evaluating depressive symptoms and their impact on outcome in schizophrenia applying the Calgary Depression Scale. Objective: To examine depressive symptoms, their course during treatment, and influence on outcome. Method: Weekly Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia ratings were performed in 249 inpatients with schizophrenia. Early response was defined as a 20% reduction in the total score of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for Schizophrenia from admission to w…
