Care and gendered work in reception centers in Finland
2019
PurposeThis paper focuses on how gendered processes of working life are (re)constructed and are also challenged discursively in paid and volunteer care and work in reception centers. The purpose of this paper is to show how caring work with asylum seekers can both enhance the traditional gender order and challenge it through enabling men to have opportunities to care.Design/methodology/approachThe data were produced through qualitative interviews among paid workers and volunteers in reception centers, and analyzed through a discourse analysis approach.FindingsThree discourses of care and work were identified: a discourse on solidarity and care; a discourse on control and order; and a discou…
Globalización, valores sociales y choque de civilizaciones
2005
The thesis of the supposed clash of the Islamic and the western civilizations is, by far, the most diffused and debated of all the subjects and proposals dealt Huntington in his book <i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i>, above all after the terrorist attacks of the September 11<sup>th</sup>. The results of the World Social Survey 2000-2001 directed by Inglehart, are used in the present article to test the thesis of the cultural differences in a wide sample of Western Christian and Islamic societies. The comparative analysis undertaken allows to conclude that the cultural differences between both group societies are quite important, althou…

Conjugative plasmid pIP501 undergoes specific deletions after transfer from Lactococcus lactis to Oenococcus oeni
2003
Conjugal transfer of plasmids pIP501 and its derivative pVA797 from Lactococcus lactis to Oenococcus oeni was assayed by filter mating. Plasmid pIP501 was transferred to a number of O. oeni strains whereas a single transconjugant of O. oeni M42 was recovered when pVA797 was used. Physical analysis of the transconjugant plasmids revealed that pIP501 and pVA797 underwent extensive deletions in O. oeni that affected the tra region (conjugal transfer) and SegB region (stability). All derivatives showed segregational instability in O. oeni, but were stably maintained in L. lactis. These differences correlated with the different plasmid copy numbers and the extent of deletions within the SegB reg…
The militarization of public order at the end of the reign of Charles III: The Instruction of 1784
2004
El gobierno de Carlos III, durante los últimos años de su reinado, involucra al Ejército en tareas policiales de persecución de la delincuencia y el contrabando, y responsabiliza a los Capitanes Generales de las grandes demarcaciones territoriales del mantenimiento del orden público en sus distritos. La Instrucción de 1784 regula esta nueva competencia militar. El presente trabajo analiza el origen de la Instrucción, los primeros años de su aplicación y el balance de resultados y problemas que realizan los altos mandos militares a instancia gubernamental en 1788. The Government of Carlos III, in the last years of his reign, assigned to the Army police tasks of pursuit of the delinquency and…
Inverse Conformational Selection in Lipid–Protein Binding
2021
International audience; Interest in lipid interactions with proteins and other biomolecules is emerging not only in fundamental biochemistry but also in the field of nanobiotechnology where lipids are commonly used, for example, in carriers of mRNA vaccines. The outward-facing components of cellular membranes and lipid nanoparticles, the lipid headgroups, regulate membrane interactions with approaching substances, such as proteins, drugs, RNA, or viruses. Because lipid headgroup conformational ensembles have not been experimentally determined in physiologically relevant conditions, an essential question about their interactions with other biomolecules remains unanswered: Do headgroups excha…

Verbal ordinal classification with multicriteria decision aiding
2008
Abstract Professionals in neuropsychology usually perform diagnoses of patients’ behaviour in a verbal rather than in a numerical form. This fact generates interest in decision support systems that process verbal data. It also motivates us to develop methods for the classification of such data. In this paper, we describe ways of aiding classification of a discrete set of objects, evaluated on set of criteria that may have verbal estimations, into ordered decision classes. In some situations, there is no explicit additional information available, while in others it is possible to order the criteria lexicographically. We consider both of these cases. The proposed Dichotomic Classification (DC…
Arti Decorative tra Sicilia e Malta dal XVI al XVIII secolo. Artisti e capolavori siciliani riscoperti dagli archivi e dalle collezioni dell'Isola de…
La tesi nasce dal tentativo di colmare un vuoto storiografico negli studi delle relazioni artistiche e culturali tra Sicilia e Malta. L’intento primario è stato quello di riportare alla luce manufatti d’arte decorativa siciliana sull’Isola dei Cavalieri principalmente relativi al periodo della loro illuminata permanenza (1530-1798), cercando nello stesso tempo di ritessere le trame della storia alla ricerca di artisti, soprattutto orafi e argentieri, che ivi si erano momentaneamente o definitivamente trasferiti per praticare la propria arte e trarne profitto. The thesis aims to fill a void in the historiographical studies about the artistic and cultural relations between Sicily and Malta. T…
Architettura in alzato. Questioni di territorio, paesaggio, ambiente
2021
Negata alla tipologia l’architettura del Sud nel saggio riconosce una specifica identità e perfetta eccezionalità nell’essenza del luogo. Se la facciata istituisce un rapporto con l’estetica del paesaggio, i temi che essa sottende definiscono altre significative relazioni. L’ordinamento logico delle membrature, la chiarezza geometrica e il rigore dei rapporti rimandano ad una architettura che si misura, ed è misura stessa, del territorio e della sua morfologia. A sua volta, lo spessore della facciata esprime la relazione con l’ambiente e interpreta in maniera poetica i condizionamenti climatici, intervenendo sul controllo della luce, sui vuoti nei paramenti murari, sulla determinazione dell…
