Vertical representation of C∞-words

2015

We present a new framework for dealing with C ∞ -words, based on their left and right frontiers. This allows us to give a compact representation of them, and to describe the set of C ∞ -words through an infinite directed acyclic graph G. This graph is defined by a map acting on the frontiers of C ∞ -words. We show that this map can be defined recursively and with no explicit reference to C ∞ -words. We then show that some important conjectures on C ∞ -words follow from analogous statements on the structure of the graph G.

Field location and player roles as constraints on emergent 1-vs-1 interpersonal patterns of play in football

2017

This study examined effects of player roles on interpersonal patterns of coordination that sustain decision-making in 1-vs-1 sub-phases of football in different field locations near the goal (left-, middle- and right zone). Participants were fifteen U-16 yrs players from a local competitive amateur team. To measure interpersonal patterns of coordination in the 1-vs-1 dyads we recorded: (i) the relative distance value between each attacker and defender to the centre of the goal, and (ii), the relative angle between the centre of the goal, each defender and attacker. Results revealed how variations in field locations near the goal (left-, middle- and right-zones) constrained the relative dist…

Beyond ‘Left’ and ‘Right’? The Role of Culture and Context in Young People’s Understanding of Ideology

2017

In this chapter, new comparative data from the MYPLACE survey is drawn on to explore how different ideological attitudes are linked to self-placement on the conventional 0–10 left–right political scale and, thus, shed light on what the concept of ‘left’ and ‘right’ means to young people today. It is found that the ideological beliefs most salient for young people when they place themselves on the left–right scale vary depending on the historical, political and cultural context. Although the majority are able to describe themselves in terms of ‘left’ and ‘right’, the meaning they attach to these notions differs from country to country. Accordingly, any cross-national analysis of ‘left’ and ‘…

Start Spreading the News: A Comparative Experiment on the Effects of Populist Communication on Political Engagement in Sixteen European Countries

2018

Although populist communication has become pervasive throughout Europe, many important questions on its political consequences remain unanswered. First, previous research has neglected the differential effects of populist communication on the Left and Right. Second, internationally comparative studies are missing. Finally, previous research mostly studied attitudinal outcomes, neglecting behavioral effects. To address these key issues, this paper draws on a unique, extensive, and comparative experiment in sixteen European countries (N = 15,412) to test the effects of populist communication on political engagement. The findings show that anti-elitist populism has the strongest mobilizing eff…

LAS PERIFERIAS SINTÁCTICAS EN EL HABLA COLOQUIAL DE ESPAÑOL L1 Y L2 Y DE SUECO L1: UN ESTUDIO TIPOLÓGICO Y ADQUISICIONAL

2019

Las dos últimas décadas han visto crecer el interés en las denominadas periferias sintácticas, la de izquierda así como la de derecha. Deriva la presente contribución de un proyecto que se va realizando en Estocolmo y cuyo objetivo es comparar la actuación de suecos muy proficientes en español y francés L2 con la de hablantes nativos de una y otra lengua. En esta comunicación se enfocarán los usos del español L1 y L2 así como del sueco L1. Por un lado, se aplica una perspectiva tipológica al examinar en qué aspectos difieren las pautas del español L1 de las del sueco L1. Por el otro lado, se toma en cuenta la perspectiva adquisicional al formular la pregunta de hasta qué punto llega a parec…

P26-S Left and right motor cortical excitability and relationship to motor functions in healthy adolescents

2019

Background The interhemispheric difference in cortical excitability and its relationship to motor functions is unclear. Aim We examined the relationship between handedness, left and right motor cortex excitability and fine and gross motor functions in adolescence. Methods 28 healthy adolescents (age 16–19 years, 19 girls) were studied. Handedness was determined by the Waterloo Handedness Questionnaire. Motor threshold (MT) of the abductor pollicis brevis was measured on both hemispheres using biphasic stimulation, and on the left hemisphere also with monophasic stimulation. Box and block test (BBT) was used for manual dexterity, line run and standing long jump for gross motor tasks. Spearma…

Ronald Dworkin e il positivismo giuridico: un bilancio provvisorio

2014

The controversy between Dworkin and legal positivism has lasted more than forty years. After Dworkin’s death, a reflection on this debate is needed. This paper faces some of the most important and popular arguments Dworkin advanced against legal positivism. More precisely, the article is divided in two main parts. The first is devoted to a critical presentation of three arguments developed by Dworkin in his early essays against Hart’s practice theory of norms. In particular, these arguments challenge a) the idea that law is a system of rules; b) the autonomy of legal obligation from moral one and c) the idea that judges exercise (strong) discretion in hard cases. The second part analyses tw…

Si esaminano alcune importanti trasformazioni del modo d'intendere la scienza giuridica causate dalla nuova presenza dei diritti umani.

Il legittimo affidamento nel bilanciamento della Corte costituzionale e della Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo in materia di retroattività legisla…

2018

The chapter examines the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence on legislative retroactivity, which is compared to the jurisprudential direction of the European Court of Human Rights. In particular, it is concerned with assessing the compatibility of retroactive laws to the so-called right to peaceful enjoyment of property, referred to in the European Convention on Human Rights.
