Apprentissage automatique de réseaux d'interaction à partir de données de séquences de nouvelle génération
2022
Climate change and other human-induced processes are modifying ecosystems, globally, at an ever increasing rate. Microbial communities play an important role in the functioning ecosystems, maintaining their diversity and services. These communities are shaped by the different abiotic environmental effects to which they are subjected and the biotic interactions between all community members. The ANR Next-Generation Biomonitoring (NGB) project proposed to reconstruct interaction networks from abundance measures obtained sequencing environmental DNA (eDNA) and to use these networks to monitor ecosystem change. In this thesis, conducted as part of the NGB project, I evaluate the potential of tw…
From Graz to Göttingen: Neugebauer’s Early Intellectual Journey
2016
Otto Neugebauer’s early academic career was marked by a series of transitions. His interests shifted from physics to mathematics, and finally to the history of ancient mathematics and exact sciences. Yet even from his early years in Graz, Neugebauer was strongly attracted to the mathematical culture of Gottingen. When he arrived there in 1922, he quickly established a strong personal friendship with Richard Courant, the newly appointed Director of the Mathematics Institute. Neugebauer and Courant worked together closely up until 1933, when the Nazi government decimated the Gottingen scientific community. In this essay, Neugebauer’s historical work and his vision for a new approach to the st…
Learning strategies. A training programme
2001
We elaborated and applied a training programme to teach learning strategies to students in continuing adult education courses in Valencia (Spain) throughout an academic year. We worked with one control group and with one experimental group. These groups were equivalent in terms of pre-test assessments and there was not any significant difference of means either in learning strategies or in marks in Spanish and Maths. We found significant difference of means in the post-test, after the training programme, in learning strategies, and also an important difference in marks. Experimental students improved their learning strategies significantly along with their marks in Spanish and Maths, wherea…

2006
Il presente contributo riferisce dell´esperienza del Nucleo della Sicilia —Area Valutazione progetti, in merito alla redazione della relazione tecnica di accompagnamento all´APQ per il Trasporto delle Merci e per la Logistica in Sicilia. Partendo dalle Disposizioni contenute nella delibera CIPE n.20/2004 e dalle indicazioni della nota di indirizzo Rete NUVV dic/2004 in proposito, il gruppo di lavoro ha proceduto alla necessaria acquisizione delle informazioni e dei dati relativi a ciascun singolo intervento previsto in APQ, ricostruendo i processi e le procedure, come pure la sequenza tecnico-procedurale con la quale si sono sviluppate le proposte (analisi del fabbisogno, individuazione deg…
Co-created training program to promote active ageing in people with Down syndrome
2020
Abstract Background Population ageing is a current challenge for the European society. Specifically, People with Down Syndrome (PDS) are living longer than before, reaching some of them around 60 years old. However, it is known that they show premature ageing that in some cases may be misled with Alzheimer first signs. Hence, it is crucial to promote an Active Ageing (AA) and healthy living in this specific population by keeping their cognitive, physical and emotional functions, and also promoting social activities such as community participation. In such way, their Quality of Life (QoL) will be increased. Objectives The main objective of this study was to co-design a Training Program (TP) …
Insurance league: Italy vs. U.K
2003
Insurers are competing by adopting product innovations that provide the insured with integrated coverage for actuarial and financial risks. This article compares the contract structures of blended life policies between the insurance markets in Italy and the United Kingdom within the context of asset-liability management and welfare analysis. © Emerald Backfiles 2007.
A fuzzy ranking strategy for portfolio selection applied to the Spanish stock market
2007
In this paper we present a fuzzy ranking procedure for the portfolio selection problem. The uncertainty on the returns of each portfolio is approximated by means of a trapezoidal fuzzy number. The expected return and risk of the portfolio are then characteristics of that fuzzy number. A rank index that accounts for both expected return and risk is defined, allowing the decision-maker to compare different portfolios. The paper ends with an application of that fuzzy ranking strategy to the Spanish stock market.
The value of integrative risk management for insurance products with guarantees
2001
Insurance liabilities are converging with capital markets products (e.g. derivatives and securitizations), thereby increasing the demand for integrated asset and liability management strategies. This article compares the value-added by an integrative approach-based on scenario optimization modelling-relative to traditional risk management methods. The authors present some examples of products offered by the insurance industry in Italy, and apply the results of the analysis to the design of competitive insurance policies. © Emerald Backfiles 2007.
