Statue lignee nel Settecento nelle chiese di Ficarazzi: aggiunte alla produzione di Filippo Quattrocchi e della sua bottega

2020

Il contributo esamina quattro statue lignee, due delle quali inedite, custodite nelle chiese di Ficarazzi, piccolo centro delle province di Palermo. Si tratta di sculture realizzate tra la fine del Settecento e i primi decenni del secolo successivo, che vengono ricondotte per la prima volta al noto Filippo Quattrocchi e alla sua bottega, in particolare al figlio Francesco. Tra queste si cita l’Immacolata Concezione della chiesa di San Girolamo che, restaurata di recente, afferisce ad un prototipo iconografico divulgato dal pittore Vito D’Anna e dallo scultore Ignazio Marabitti su influsso di modelli accademici romani considerato che entrambi gli artisti lavorarono nella Città Eterna. The co…

Young University Students’ Academic Self-Regulation Profiles and Their Associated Procrastination: Autonomous Functioning Requires Self-Regulated Ope…

2020

Students' autonomous self-regulation requires not only self-motivation but also volition or transforming motivation into specific behavioral intentions and following through. Self-regulation includes self-motivation (i.e., goal setting, learning from mistakes) and volitional regulation (i.e., strategic decision making). Furthermore, individual differences, like trait-level perseverance, significantly influence both motivation and volition. Procrastination has been defined as a volitional self-regulation problem, which involves delaying what one had intended to do, in spite of being motivated, and regardless of anticipating adverse consequences. Thus, it is a tendency toward dysregulated beh…

Effets du bruit marin sur le changement des poissons sparidés juvéniles entre les espèces et les stades de développement

2023

International audience; Marine noise is an emerging pollutant inducing a variety of negative impacts on many animal taxa, including fish. Fish population persistence and dynamics rely on the supply of early life stages, which are often very sensitive to disturbance. Impacts of marine noise pollution (MNP) on juvenile fish have rarely been investigated in temperate regions. This is particularly true for the Mediterranean Sea, which is considered as an MNP hotspot due to intensive maritime traffic. In this study, we investigate the relationship between MNP related to boat traffic and (i) assemblage structure and (ii) the density of juvenile fishes (post-settlers at different stages) belonging…

Localized surface plasmon resonance in silver nanoparticles: Atomistic first-principles time-dependent density-functional theory calculations

2015

We observe using ab initio methods that localized surface plasmon resonances in icosahedral silver nanoparticles enter the asymptotic region already between diameters of 1 and 2 nm, converging close to the classical quasistatic limit around 3.4 eV. We base the observation on time-dependent density-functional theory simulations of the icosahedral silver clusters Ag$_{55}$ (1.06 nm), Ag$_{147}$ (1.60 nm), Ag$_{309}$ (2.14 nm), and Ag$_{561}$ (2.68 nm). The simulation method combines the adiabatic GLLB-SC exchange-correlation functional with real time propagation in an atomic orbital basis set using the projector-augmented wave method. The method has been implemented for the electron structure…

Le politiche della sinistra e il diritto

2008

Nella trattazione le “politiche della sinistra” considerate sono intese come quelle proposte e scelte che, nel periodo considerato, dai partiti di sinistra, quindi soprattutto Pci e Psi (anziché come politiche pacificamente e, per così dire, “ontologicamente” di sinistra). “Politiche della sinistra”, appunto. Il par. 2 si sofferma (sempre in relazione agli anni settanta dello scorso secolo) sui rapporti tra la sinistra italiana e la sinistra della restante parte dell’Europa occidentale. Il par. 3 tratta i processi decisionali nel sistema legislativo italiano che caratterizzavo quella fase e sui loro risultati. Il par. 4 considera alcuni esempi di legislazione degli anni settanta, tra cui qu…

Vegetation series as a marker of interactions between rural settlements and landscape: new insights from the archaeological record in Western Sicily

2020

[EN] Plant communities are complex and dynamic elements of the landscape, intertwined with both natural factors and human activities. Vegetation series reflect the environmental characteristics of the landscape, but also the anthropic impact, one of the exogenous forces that most profoundly affects the landscape formation process. This paper aims to investigate the interactions between long-term human settlement catchment areas and vegetation series. The case study area of the Sicani Mountains (Central-Western Sicily) proved to be an ideal place to perform GIS-based spatial analysis in order to compare a data set of rural archaeological sites and land units created through the mapping of ve…

Evaluation of labor skills in Latvia

2019

Skills are a decisive factor for the country's economic development and social-well-being. The OECD emphasizes that strips can help countries integrate into global markets and specialize in technological advanced industries, and countries need to invest in fields not only to help people enter the labour market and protect from the risk of job losses and low quality of work, but also to increase international competitiveness and economic progress in an interlinked world. The aim of the research is to evaluate the most demanded labour skills in Latvia within the framework of certain groups of professions, as well as trends in the demand changes according to the skills of employees in order to…

Social network site communities as agents and spaces of pursuing influence in society : forms, stages and attributes of building communicative power

2018

Before the emergence and high popularity of social media, individuals or even collectives of individual citizens rarely had strong voice in public discourse. Social media, and its social network sites (SNS), have allowed individual people to form communities to create discourse around issues they find meaningful, and even unite their power to fight for a common cause and potentially influence changes in society. The objectives of the thesis were to investigate what types of ‘societal influence (SI) oriented SNS communities’ the Internet and social media arena consists of and how their potential communicative power is formed, even to the extent that they can challenge news media and business…

Dalla cultura dei parvenu alla cultura del capitale sociale. Terzo settore e società civile in Sicilia

2006

Avvalendosi di un questionario già predisposto a livello nazionale, il contributo ricostituisce il panorama del terzo settore nell’area periferica di Trapani, sottolineando la capacità di una parte delle Ots di promuovere una reale autonomia della società civile, malgrado per un terzo delle stesse sia ancora forte la dipendenza dai finanziamenti pubblici, e quindi dai partiti che gestiscono la pubblica amministrazione locale. L’autrice sostiene infatti che in Sicilia se «il mondo del privato sociale, da un lato, abbia offerto una sponda alla “cultura civile del lavoro”, dall’altro abbia affermato una cultura e una pratica delle relazioni che emerge prepotentemente dagli anfratti della matri…
