Struggles for moral value and the reproduction of gendered and racialised hierarchies in online discussions of violence
2019
The article examines online discussions in Finland that focus on violence committed by Finnish women, on one hand, and non-white migrant men, on the other. Drawing on the perspective of sociology of value, the article illustrates how these discussions function as sites of struggles over moral worth in a contemporary context characterised by crises of both male and white hegemony. The authors suggest that, through the discussions, these current crises are projected on migrant men and certain groups of women, who thereby become construed as morally reprehensible. The analysis sheds light on processes of (re-)legitimating the moral virtue historically attached to both masculinity and whitenes…
Women's Emotions Towards the Mobile Phone
2012
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether women's emotions associate differently with the mobile phone depending on the type of family in which they live. James A. Russell's circumplex model of affect which explores four main emotional dimensions, excitement, distress, depression and contentment, was applied. The article is based on the female sub-sample (N = 3,704) of nationally representative survey data collected from Italy, France, the UK, Germany and Spain (N = 7,255) in 2009. The results show that it is women living in blended families who seem to associate more distress and less feelings of contentment with the mobile phone than women living in other types of family. peerRe…
Nano-graphite cold cathodes for electric solar wind sail
2015
The nanographite (NG) films consisting of tiny graphite crystallites (nanowalls) are produced by carbon condensation from methane–hydrogen gas mixture activated by a direct current discharge. High aspect ratio and structural features of the NG crystallites provides efficient field electron emission (FE). Applicability and performance of the NG films in an electron gun (E-gun) of a solar wind thruster system with an electric sail (E-sail) is tested. The long-term tests are demonstrated suitability of E-gun assembly with the NG cathodes for the real space missions. The results of the tests are analyzed and physical mechanisms of the cathode aging and practical methods for improvement performa…
Mechanical Performance of CNT Fibres
2014
The initial strength hype over carbon nanotubes arose from predictions of the strength of individual graphene layers, encouraged by measurements of individual MWCNTs and SWCNT bundles in AFM. The challenge for fibres composed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is to translate the impressive properties of the individual carbon nanotubes into the fibres. Yarn-like fibres composed of carbon nanotubes made by the direct spinning process have been used as the subject of this study. There have been occasional observations of strengths greater than 5 N/tex, which have served to maintain the enthusiasm for on-going developments. Here, we will re-examine those reports in the context of the response of nanot…

Thinking Narratively. Between Novel-Essay and Narrative Essay
2022
What is the connection between philosophical enquiries and storytelling in contemporary narrative? Is it possible to outline some features of a so-called philosophical fiction in Western literature throughout the last two centuries? This book aims to provide a plural answer, hosting extensive essays by seven young researchers coming from different fields (Theory of literature, German, American, Russian and Italian contemporary literature, history and evolution of the essayistic form). A short The volume is addressed to all those with a strong interest in both evolution of philosophical speech and history of the novel and has a strong vocation to promote interdisciplinarity in literary studi…
El Europartido en el marco del Parlamento Europeo
2020
La presente opera offre un’analisi del concetto di Europartito, inteso come l’insieme delle interazioni tra partiti politici europei, partiti politici nazionali e gruppi politici del Parlamento europeo. In base alla tesi argomentata dall’Autrice, esiste una stretta connessione tra l'arena parlamentare e il sistema oggetto di studio, in quanto l'evoluzione del Parlamento europeo ha influenzato il consolidamento dei tratti identificativi degli attori politici attivi a livello europeo, e viceversa. Non si tratta di un condizionamento unidirezionale ma sinallagmatico. Utilizzando un approccio descrittivo e diacronico, basato sui dati raccolti nel corso delle legislature europei, l’analisi di ci…

Le commissioni di ricorso nel sistema di giustizia dell'Unione europea
2020
Le commissioni di ricorso nel diritto dell’Unione europea sono organi amministrativi, incaricati di risolvere controversie nei settori di competenza degli Uffici, Agenzie ed Autorità presso cui sono strutturate. Esercitano una sicura attività giustiziale, rafforzata dal carattere del loro intervento, che è pregiudiziale rispetto all’ordinaria tutela giurisdizionale. L’interesse per il tema è determinato anche dall’orientamento della giurisprudenza, esaminato nel volume. È invero prevalsa l’interpretazione della c.d. “continuità funzionale”, secondo cui le commissioni di ricorso svolgerebbero la stessa attività degli organi di prima istanza, accentuando gli aspetti amministrativi, a discapit…
PODER, NEGOCIO Y CONFLICTIVIDAD FISCAL: EL REFORZAMIENTO DE LA AUTORIDAD DEL INTENDENTE EN LA VALENCIA DEL SIGLO XVIII
2014
Las vacilaciones con las que se procedió a la realización de las reformas fiscales en el Reino de Valencia tras la abolición de los fueros en 1707 generaron numerosos conflictos que impulsaron a la Monarquía a reforzar la autoridad del intendente. Con tal finalidad, se potenció la tramitación por la vía reservada de las decisiones que adoptaba en materia hacendística. Pero el considerable incremento de su poder que ello comportó favoreció su utilización de forma abusiva en beneficio propio o de la red clientelar articulada a su alrededor. No obstante, las relaciones que mantenía el intendente con las élites locales contribuyen a explicar el eco desigual que alcanzaron las denuncias de corru…
