The skill paradox: explaining and reducing employment discrimination against skilled immigrants

2015

Using a social identity theory approach, we theorized that recruiters might be particularly biased against skilled immigrant applicants. We refer to this phenomenon as a skill paradox, according to which immigrants are more likely to be targets of employment discrimination the more skilled they are. Furthermore, building on the common ingroup identity model, we proposed that this paradox can be resolved through human resource management (HRM) strategies that promote inclusive hiring practices (e.g., by emphasizing fit with a diverse clientele). The results from a laboratory experiment were consistent with our predictions: Local recruiters preferred skilled local applicants over skilled immi…

Scuola inclusiva e Outdoor Education. Un’indagine esplorativa nel primo ciclo di istruzione

2022

Le tematiche dell’inclusione e dello sviluppo sostenibile rappresentano oggi, senza dubbio, uno dei terreni di dibattito fondamentali per una riflessione pedagogica, mossa verso la promozione di forme autentiche di convivenza democratica e di cittadinanza globale nell’ottica della costruzione di un’identità plurale e di un armonioso sviluppo umano. L’educazione inclusiva assume allora i connotati di un’educazione democratica i cui valori fondamentali dell’ambiente e dei contesti, della comunità e della partecipazione sono rivolti a tutti. Ma, se da un lato la letteratura nazionale ed internazionale ha fornito cospicue evidenze scientifiche a sostegno di come la relazione diretta con la natu…

Nuclear actin aggregation is a hallmark of anti-synthetase syndrome-induced dysimmune myopathy

2015

Objective: To analyze antisynthetase syndrome–associated myositis by modern myopathologic methods and to define its place in the spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). Methods: Skeletal muscle biopsies from antisynthetase syndrome–associated myositis and other IIMs from different institutions worldwide were analyzed by histopathology, quantitative PCR, and electron microscopy. Results: Myonuclear actin filament inclusions were identified as a unique morphologic hallmark of antisynthetase syndrome–associated myositis. Nuclear actin inclusions were never found in dermatomyositis, polymyositis, sporadic inclusion body myositis, autoimmune necrotizing myopathy associated with si…

Unusual Intranuclear Inclusions in Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma: Presence in Primary Tumor

1982

We describe previously unreported intranuclear inclusions in 2 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The inclusions were found in 2-10% of the tumor cells removed from the patients and in 2-10% of the cells examined in tumor tissue xenotransplanted in nude mice. By stereo electron microscopy the inclusions are closely packed undulating fibrils 18-23 nm in diameter. They are sometimes associated with fibrillary bodies. They closely resemble the inclusions reported in some animals inoculated with serum from patients with non-A non-B hepatitis; however, their nature at present is unknown.

Value of insoluble PABPN1 accumulation in the diagnosis of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.

2019

Background and purpose The aim was to assess the value of insoluble PABPN1 muscle fibre nuclei accumulation in the diagnosis of atypical cases of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD). Methods Muscle biopsies from a selected cohort of 423 adult patients from several Italian neuromuscular centres were analysed by immunofluorescence: 30 muscle biopsies of genetically proven OPMD, 30 biopsies from patients not affected by neuromuscular disorders, 220 from genetically undiagnosed patients presenting ptosis or swallowing disturbances, progressive lower proximal weakness and/or isolated rimmed vacuoles at muscle biopsy and 143 muscle biopsies of patients affected by other neuromuscular diseas…

Granular nuclear inclusion body disease: Fine structure of tibial muscle and sural nerve

1985

Fine granular (hyaline) intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in perivascular cells of a muscle and a sural nerve biopsy from a 32-year-old woman with slowly progressive motor disturbances. The hyaline nuclear inclusion bodies could be distinguished from other intranuclear hyaline inclusions by their granularity, the size of the granules (approximately 5-15 nm), and the positive iron staining reaction. They were not seen in muscle fibers or Schwann cells. Because of these apparently pathognomonic structural features the patient appears to present a condition that has not been described before.

Il gioco del teatro e la pratica educativa. Percorsi pedagogici per comunicare l'integrazione.

2014

Il contributo intende proporre una ricognizione delle teorie, delle linee evolutive, dei riferimenti legislativo-normativi della Pedagogia speciale nonché una analisi dei piani di intervento (metodologie, strategie e tecniche) per l’integrazione della diversabilità in rapporto all’individuazione dei bisogni educativi e delle competenze reali dei soggetti coinvolti. Particolare attenzione sarà posta all’uso della pratica teatrale, da un lato come dispositivo storico-culturale (Teatro dell’Oppresso, Teatro Scuola, ecc.), dall’altro come strategia di riallineamento sensoriale-espressivo, nonché come strumento dialogico in grado di armonizzare le diverse abilità e di facilitare la relazione tra…

Optical characterization of Mg-doped GaN films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor phase deposition

2000

Scanning electron microscopy, micro-Raman, and photoluminescence (PL) measurements are reported for Mg-doped GaN films grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor phase deposition. The surface morphology, structural, and optical properties of GaN samples with Mg concentrations ranging from 1019 to 1021 cm−3 have been studied. In the scanning micrographs large triangular pyramids are observed, probably due to stacking fault formation and three-dimensional growth. The density and size of these structures increase with the amount of magnesium incorporated in the samples. In the photoluminescence spectra, intense lines were found at 3.36 and 3.31 eV on the tr…

Regularization of perturbed state-dependent sweeping processes with nonregular sets

2018

International audience; In this paper, we prove the convergence strongly pointwisely (up to a subsequence) of Moreau-Yosida regularization of perturbed state-dependent sweeping process with nonregular (subsmooth and positively alpha-far) sets in separable Hilbert spaces. Some relevant consequences are indicated.
