Installazioni idrauliche nell’area sacra a Sud del tempio di Zeus Olympios ad Agrigento
2020
This paper will test the relationship between water and cult in the southern part of the sanctuary of Zeus Olympios at Agrigento. The most singular feature of this area is a monumental pool, besides some cisterns, buildings and a small oikos temple. The sacred area was investigated during the 20th century by E. Gabrici and E. De Miro and was referred to a chthonian cult, without deepening the features and modalities of ritual activities. Besides, it was not considered at all as a part of the sanctuary of Zeus, depending on the late chronology assigned to the main buildings. After having defined the character of the context through an analysis of the architectural remains, the votive and rit…
Oscillatory periodic pattern dynamics in hyperbolic reaction-advection-diffusion models
2022
In this work we consider a quite general class of two-species hyperbolic reaction-advection-diffusion system with the main aim of elucidating the role played by inertial effects in the dynamics of oscillatory periodic patterns. To this aim, first, we use linear stability analysis techniques to deduce the conditions under which wave (or oscillatory Turing) instability takes place. Then, we apply multiple-scale weakly nonlinear analysis to determine the equation which rules the spatiotemporal evolution of pattern amplitude close to criticality. This investigation leads to a cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau (CCGL) equation which, owing to the functional dependence of the coefficients here involve…
Inspiratory Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Association With Health-Related Quality of Life in Healthy Older Adults
2021
The main purpose of this study was to explore similarities and differences in the association between two capabilities affecting the cardiorespiratory system (overall and multifactorial cardiorespiratory fitness and inspiratory muscle strength) and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), in a group of active healthy seniors. Sixty-five individuals (age, 73.01 ± 5.27 years; 53 women) who participated regularly in a multicomponent training program completed the EuroQol 5D-5L questionnaire, the 6-min walking test (6MWT), and the maximum inspiratory pressure test (MIP). Non-parametric correlations (Spearman's rho) were conducted to analyze the association between HRQoL indices (EQindex and …

Persistency of window dressing practices in the US repo markets after the GFC: The unexplored role of the deposit insurance premium
2022
We investigate whether the regulatory improvements made in the aftermath of the global financial crisis have been effective in limiting bank downward window dressing by means of repos in the United States. We find that a strict application of the Basel III regulation wipes out incentives to engage in window dressing to bolster the level of leverage Tier 1 ratio at quarter-end. We also show that the persistency of window dressing is related to the computation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessment base, which motivates banks to engage in window dressing to reduce the deposit insurance premium.
Il "linguaggio" della Corte costituzionale: note sparse su alcuni aspetti dell'esperienza recente
2023
Wittgenstein's theories offer the starting point for looking at the socio-political implications of the language spoken by the institutions in the various historical phases: the communication system with which they relate to the outside world is functional in conveying the sense and scope of their action, building a precise relationship with public opinion. Starting from this assumption, the contribution takes into consideration some aspects of the recent practice of the Constitutional Court, with particular regard to press releases, and proposes an interpretation of the communication breakthrough pursued in recent years, relating it to the exercise of the function of warranty.
Emocionālā intelekta, darba nedrošības izjūtas un iesaistes darbā saistība
2020
Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp emocionālo intelektu, darba nedrošības izjūtu un iesaisti darbā. Pētījumā piedalījās 188 respondenti, kas bija dažāda līmeņa darbinieki no dažādām nozarēm. Respondenti bija vecumā no 24 – 68 gadiem. Emocionālais intelekts tika mērīts ar Emocionālā intelekta aptauju (The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test, Schutte, 1998, kā minēts Schutte, Malouff & Bhullar, 2009), iesaiste darbā mērīta ar Utrehtas iesaistes darbā aptauja, īsā versija (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – UWES-9, Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003) un nedrošības izjūta par darbu ar Nedrošības izjūtas par darbu aptauja (Job Insecurity Scale (O´Neill and Se…
The Effect of Emotional Dissonance and Mental Load on Need for Recovery and Work Engagement among Italian Fixed-Term Researchers
2020
Although many studies have been conducted to evaluate the risk and protective factors on psychological health among academic staff, little attention has been paid to fixed-term researchers, the weakest figures in the academic context. By using the Job Demands&ndash
Formare educatori e insegnanti ludici
2020
Che cosa significa “formare insegnanti ed educatori ludici”? Partendo dal significato del termine “Ludico”, il saggio approfondisce in cosa consista la “capacità di giocare” con i bambini e di promuovere il loro gioco libero. Propone quindi una riflessione riguardo ad ambiti, percorsi e metodologie per la formazione sottolineando come questa debba essere caratterizzata: da un apprendimento centrato sull’esperienza, sull’osservazione e sull’auto-osservazione; dalla dimensione di gruppo; dalla interazione tra pari, da attività focalizzate sui linguaggi artistico-espressivi; da un’attenzione alla dimensione psico-corporea ed emotiva. Nella parte conclusiva viene presentato un possibile modello…
