Forme e processi per il progetto di territorio. Pratiche e prospettive nella Sicilia occidentale
2016
Il progetto di territorio è oggi inteso come un sistema complesso di analisi plurime e visioni di trasformazione territoriali. La stretta relazione con le specifiche realtà dei luoghi fa si che tale progetto diventi unico e strettamente connesso a quel territorio. In questo testo vengono presentate riflessioni che, attraverso prospettive plurime e un’ampia rassegna di casi, hanno indagato tale tema, e di come tale progetto possa declinarsi in ambiti meridionali caratterizzati da problematiche di lungo periodo e da una debole presenza degli attori pubblici nel governo del territori. Obiettivo dello studio è l’individuazione e la definizione degli elementi che costituiscono la forma del proge…

BETWEEN PROGRESSIVISM AND INSTITUTIONALISM: ALBERT BENEDICT WOLFE ON EUGENICS
2013
Albeit concerned with the biological element in social evolution, Albert B. Wolfe was among the very few economists of the progressive era who openly expressed his concerns about certain implications of eugenic rhetoric for the social science. Specifically, Wolfe questioned the strong hereditary boundaries that more extreme eugenicists suggested about human beings. As I will attempt to show in paper, a careful examination of Wolfe’s writings reveals that his reaction was rooted in the belief that many of the social problems which eugenicists attributed to hereditary limitations, were actually imputable to the influence that the social, economic, and physical environment exercised on the ind…
El sistema de prestaciones por hijo a cargo en España
2006
Child Benefit (prestaciones familiares por hijo a cargo) is the only monetary, regular and direct allowance to contribute bringing up children in Spain. Therefore, the Family Allowance System might be seen as a privileged watchtower where it is possible to observe complex and dynamic relationships between the family, the State and the market. Moreover, it shows its influence on the wellbeing and on the dynamics of inclusion or exclusion. This paper analyzes the Spanish economic allowance addressed to children and its evolution since its last reform in 1990. The main goal is to contribute to our understanding of the compromise level acquired by the Spanish State for familycare. This study tr…
Sensorimotor Coarticulation in the Execution and Recognition of Intentional Actions
2017
Humans excel at recognizing (or inferring) another's distal intentions, and recent experiments suggest that this may be possible using only subtle kinematic cues elicited during early phases of movement. Still, the cognitive and computational mechanisms underlying the recognition of intentional (sequential) actions are incompletely known and it is unclear whether kinematic cues alone are sufficient for this task, or if it instead requires additional mechanisms (e.g., prior information) that may be more difficult to fully characterize in empirical studies. Here we present a computationally-guided analysis of the execution and recognition of intentional actions that is rooted in theories of m…
A Comparative Analysis of Hospital Readmissions in France and the US
2015
International audience; Policymakers in the US and France are struggling to improve coordination among hospitals and other health care providers. A comparison of hospital readmission rates, and the factors that may explain them, can provide important insights about the French and US health care systems. In addition, it illustrates a methodological approach to comparative research: how an empirical inquiry along a single indicator can reveal broader issues about system-wide differences across health care systems and policy. Using data from three French regions, the article extends a previous national-level comparison indicating that rates of hospital readmission for the population aged 65+ a…
Valoración de un programa piloto de prescripción de actividad física en atención primaria en la Comunitat Valenciana
2021
Resumen: Objetivo: Valorar el proceso de prescripción y la mejora de la autoestima y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en un estudio piloto de prescripción de activos de actividad física durante 3 meses. Método: Estudio cuasiexperimental antes-después sin grupo control, para la valoración del proyecto piloto (noviembre de 2017 y mayo de 2018) del programa Conecta Actius per a la Salut en seis centros de salud de la Comunitat Valenciana. Quienes aceptaron participar cumplimentaron un cuestionario con datos sociales, la escala de autoestima de Rosemberg y el cuestionario de calidad de vida EQ-5D al inicio (T0) y a los 3 meses (T1). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo por sexo, nivel …
Gestione partecipata, integrazione sociale e rigenerazione urbana. Un caso studio.
2015
Il tema dello spazio pubblico e della sua fruizione assume un ruolo molto importante nel processo di rigenerazione urbana. La nostra attenzione, di approccio multidisciplinare, è rivolta al margine meridionale del centro storico di Agrigento, Piazza Ravanusella abitata prevalentemente da una folta comunità immigrata. Adibita a mercato sino a metà ‘900, è compresa tra l’antica edilizia, preservata dal “sacco” degli anni ‘60, e la più recente, costituente quel pessimo skyline della città vista dal mare e dalla Valle dei Templi. La soluzione progettuale, attraverso una gestione partecipata del bene comune, mira al recupero estetico, funzionale e tecnologico del sito, seguendo un percorso tecni…
Effect of host plant quality on male sexual performances and consequences on female reproductive output in a phytophagous moth
2016
The abundance of phytophagous insects is determined by numerous interacting biotic and abiotic factors. In capital-breeding phytophagous insects, larval host plant quality is a key determinant of the adult phenotype and the performance of both males and females. Curiously, if the effect of host plant quality on female reproductive success is well-established, little effort has been conducted to determine this effect on male reproductive success. Moreover, in Lepidoptera, males transfer to females a spermatophore containing sperm and accessory gland products rich in nutrients that could be reinvested into female reproduction. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate how male larval nutrition o…
