Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans
2014
We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other ancient genomes1,2,3,4 with 2,345 contemporary humans to show that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians3, who contributed to both Europeans and Near Easterners; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west European hunter-gatherer related ancestry. We model these popula…
La genesi dei poemi omerici
2019
Si tratta della prima analisi sistematica di Iliade e Odissea scritta in una lingua diversa dal tedesco e del primo tentativo di dare un quadro generale delle analisi precedenti. Si cerca di distinguere i vari epe confluiti nei due poemi e come i Bearbeiter finali li hanno messi insieme. Le teorie panoraliste e unitarie vengono rifiutate, mentre vengono accettati i presupposti fondamentali dell’analisi, quale si è praticata per lo più da studiosi germanofoni nel sec. XIX e nella prima metà del XX.
La dimensione tecnologica del museo: forme, tecniche, "identità mutanti" tra storia e contemporaneità
2005
Nella cultura contemporanea il tema della conservazione dell’eredità storica, della rappresentazione e della trasmissibilità dell’arte è argomento ampiamente dibattuto. La forza culturale del museo, detentore dell’eredità, può essere interpretata secondo diverse traiettorie di forme. La memoria intende esprimersi sulle origini e sul significato della "macchina museale" attraverso l’analisi critica dell’oggetto, sia esso contenitore, palco di rappresentazione o scena interattiva. Sonda i processi di comunicazione relativamente alla forma architettonica, alla funzione ed alla fruizione del prodotto espositivo. Tenendo conto delle diverse scuole di pensiero sulla spettacolarizzazione dell’arte…
Experiences of Refugees When Entering Higher Education and Over the Course of Their Studies: A Literature Review of Structural and Personal Challenges
2021
In view of the significantly increasing number of individuals around the world who are forced to flee their country of origin, research discussions about integrating refugees into education are gaining relevance. A central research area is their entry into and study success in higher education, focusing on the associated challenges this learner group faces. Though the results of studies dealing with this topic often overlap, they usually focus on individual sub-areas and set specific thematic priorities. As a result, certain sub-areas such as administrative challenges are examined far more frequently than others. In this literature review, data from 14 English-language studies published bet…
Il maschile e il femminile. Una riflessione sulla radice di senso dell'identità di genere
2014
Il tema del maschile e del femminile e il senso della loro reciprocità è percepito come problematico in una cultura come quella attuale, segnata da una propensione all’indifferenziazione sessuale. La questione, per l’elaborazione di un’antropologia pedagogica della sponsalità e della paternità/maternità, è nodale. Il saggio propone una riflessione di stile fenomenologico, volta a ritrovare la radice di senso delle categorie di maschilità e di femminilità, ritrovandole nell’aspetto per cui esso si mostrano costitutive dell’esistenza personale. Tale senso originario resta sempre presente in ogni ricerca e in ogni momento della costruzione della propria singolare identità di genere.
The legal origin of income inequality
2014
The legal origin movement is implicitly functionalist, while it explicitly prioritizes economic dimensions of development. From this perspective, the empirical findings presented in this paper seem to uncover the existence of a paradox. On the one hand, common law countries are apparently characterized by countless advantages, yet they do not grow faster than civil law countries. On the other hand, common law countries present a more unequal distribution of income, thus suggesting that also from a static perspective there is no a priori reason to prefer a common law system. To further investigate this paradox, we analyze if common law countries are at least characterized by a better kind (e…
Business Cultural Intelligence Quotient: A Five-Country Study
2016
Cultural intelligence (CI) has often been linked to performance at the individual, team, and firm levels as a key factor in international business success. Using a new measure of CI, the business cultural intelligence quotient (BCIQ), our study provides empirical evidence on several key antecedents of CI using data on business professionals across five diverse countries (Austria, Colombia, Greece, Spain, and the United States). The findings suggest that the most important factors leading to cultural intelligence, in order of importance, are the number of countries that business practitioners have lived in for more than six months, their level of education, and the number of languages spoken…
The Value of Local Externalities in Country-of-Origin Clusters: Evidence from China
2019
Business cooperation and the exchange of information and knowledge are actions and decisions that firms can build in order to compete more effectively in globalized markets. These options are even more relevant for SMEs to access and expand in new international markets and through more commitment entry modes as foreign direct investment (FDI). While studies on the role of local externalities are well established in the Economic Geography literature, its international dimension is still unexplored in deep. This is surprising when the survival and growth of the subsidiaries depends on the efficient adjustment with its context. The objective of this paper is to analyse the perceptions of the r…
DELL’UTRI E CONTRADA “GEMELLI DIVERSI”: È LA REVISIONE EUROPEA LO STRUMENTO DI OTTEMPERANZA ALLE SENTENZE CEDU
2017
La Cassazione nega l’origine giurisprudenziale del concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa e individua il rimedio della revisione europea per l’attuazione della decisione CEDU nei confronti di soggetti in posizioni simili a quella di Contrada. Il percorso offre l’occasione per riflettere sulla connotazione “oggettiva” della prevedibilità e sull’uguaglianza di trattamento dei condannati. Italian supreme Court denies that the origin of external participation in mafia-type criminal association lies in case law and envisages the European review as the tool to comply with ECtHR judgements in similar cases to that of Contrada. This jurisprudence provides a proper opportunity for an in-depth exam…
Labor market participation, employability and and basic skills: the French case
2013
En ligne sur http://cemapre.iseg.utl.pt/educonf/2e3/files/submissions_to_web/Branche-Seigeot%20Aline.doc; The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the important technological but also organizational innovations during the last decades have transformed the labor market and the jobs nature. One major consequence of this on employment has been the gradual rise in qualifications' structure sought and demanded by employers. However, the expansion of higher education contributed to depreciate diplomas proportionately more widespread in the labor market due to a greater skills' heterogeneity of their owners. Since high basic skills levels protect against unemployment…
