Organizational information and communication technologies and their influence on communication visibility and perceived proximity
2021
This study investigates the relationships between the use of various organizational ICTs, communication visibility, and perceived proximity to distant colleagues. In addition, this study examines the interplay between visibility and proximity, to determine whether visibility improves proximity, or vice versa. These relationships are tested in a global company using two waves of panel survey data. ESM use increases communication visibility and perceived proximity, while controlling for prior levels of visibility, proximity, and the use of other organizational ICTs. The influence of ESM on network translucence and perceived proximity is generally stronger than the impact of other technologie…
Lumevis ™: a new medical device to prepare patients for esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Experimental clinical study.
2020
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) is the gold standard exam for upper gastrointestinal diseases. EGDS is very important in Early Gastric Cancer diagnosis and treatment but it is an operator-dependent exam and there are lots of factors that reduce its visibility (mucus, bubbles and foam).The aim of our study is to evaluate if the use of Lumevis™ improves mucosa visualization during EGDS without increasing the examination time and complications' rate and comparing the differences in patients prepared with water or no intervention.we recruited 50 patients from 01/08/2020 to 31/08/2020 who came to our observation for epigastric pain, dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). For each patien…
Female Visibility in the Mafia World: Press Review 1980 to 2001
2007
One way to analyze the recent evolution of the female role in organized crime is to review the press coverage of that theme during the period 1980-2001. The choice of this period was guided by the consideration that investigations and observations have shown this period to be one of the most interesting for the study of the phenomenon, since it is precisely during this time that the participation of women in mafia-type criminal activities seems to have become more visible and frequent. The paper explores the nature and characteristics of the female role within the mafia organization along with its centrality. The difficulty in collecting information on the daily life of mafia women has led …
“A Perfect Heroine in Foreign Travel.” Female Mobile Identities and Southern Italy in the 19th Century Non-feminist Periodical Press
2016
This essay focuses on the inteaction between the publication of female travel writing abouth the South Of Italy in non -feminist 19th century British periodicaldìs and the circulation of a transgressive model of femininity centred on the concepts of mobility, vitality and visibility. the choice of Southern Italy, and anti-tourist destination that since the era of the Grand Tour had been considered dangerous for men, let alone for women, magnifies female heroic attitudes and contaminates female conventional domestic purity enhancing the concept of an unfixed female identity. The publications of a travelogue, a mostly non fictional genre, on an innovative and reactive medium, was a manifest a…
A complex network analysis of inbound tourism in Sicily
2019
In this article, the complex dynamics of inbound tourism in Sicily is analyzed for the period 1998–2017. The horizontal visibility graph algorithm is used to transform the overnight stays' time series into a network whose topology is investigated by standard network analysis. Discontinuities in the domestic and international tourism demand were identified in order to detect signals of change and the timing of the directional change in tourism growth. The network degree distribution confirms the complex structure of the destination and reveals the random and thus more unpredictable nature of the international tourism demand in Sicily, compared with a more stable domestic segment. Some policy…
Flora Ossette’s ‘feminist visibility’ in her translation of Olive Schreiner’s Woman and Labour
2011
La visibilidad del traductor o la traductora se ha convertido en tema obligado en los estudios de traducción desde que Lawrence Venuti editara en 1995 su conocido The Translator’s Invisibility. En la única traducción al castellano de Woman and Labour de Olive Schreiner por parte de Flora Ossette no solo es posible apreciar la voz de la “traductora implícita” (Hermans 1996), sino una voz “explícita”. La traductora interviene activamente en el texto que traduce añadiendo, omitiendo, reorganizando, apostillando o enfatizando las ideas de Schreiner. Además, llevada por los ideales feministas que comparten ambas y por su admiración por la autora sudafricana, se convierte en autora redactando un …
Measurement of the Sensitivity Function in a Time-Domain Atomic Interferometer
2008
We present here an analysis of the sensitivity of a time-domain atomic interferometer to the phase noise of the lasers used to manipulate the atomic wave packets. The sensitivity function is calculated in the case of a three-pulse Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which is the configuration of the two inertial sensors we are building at the Laboratoire National de Metrologie et d'Essais-Systeme de References Temps-Espace. We successfully compare this calculation to experimental measurements. The sensitivity of the interferometer is limited by the phase noise of the lasers as well as by residual vibrations. We evaluate the performance that could be obtained with state-of-the-art quartz oscillator…
Map of the visibility and search engine positioning of the main Spanish media groups
2020
Este trabajo analiza la visibilidad y posicionamiento en buscadores de los sitios web de los principales grupos de comunicación españoles. Se compara su visibilidad web y su presencia en los resultados de búsqueda de Google a través de programas de análisis SEO y una metodología propia que se ha denominado Índice de Visibilidad Agregada.

Se ha podido establecer que Unidad Editorial es el grupo con mayor tráfico web proveniente de búsqu…
Tecnologie digitali per la visibilità del patrimonio culturale. L'immagine di Tarragona nella prospettiva dell'offerta
2023
This work aims to contribute to the debate on the role of new technologies in the process of urban image construction, presenting as a case study the digital offering of the UNESCO site of Tarragona. Inclusion on the World Heritage List may represent a decisive event in the definition of an urban image, which new technologies can promote and project to the outside world. By making the winning narrative visible, technologies offer spaces for tourist desire and consumption and show us how cities are told by highlighting some aspects and excluding others. After explaining the dynamics of the context under study, the paper demonstrates how digital tools can convey a brand, mediate or transfigur…
