Recent advances in the development of holey optical fibers based on sulfide glasses

2006

International audience; Microstructured optical fibers as new optical objects have been developed in the recent past years, firstly from silica glass and then from other oxide glasses such as tellurite or different heavy cations oxide glasses. However very few results have been reported concerning non-oxide glasses and more particularly chalcogenide glasses. In a photonic crystal fiber the arrangement of air holes along the transverse section of the fiber around a solid glassy core leads to unique optical properties, such as for example broadband single-mode guidance, adjustable dispersion, nonlinear properties. Since the effective modal area is adjustable thanks to geometrical parameters, …

On general conditional prevision assessments

2009

In this paper we consider general conditional random quantities of the kind $X|Y$, where $X$ and $Y$ are finite discrete random quantities. Then, we introduce the notion of coherence for conditional prevision assessments on finite families of general conditional random quantities. Moreover, we give a compound prevision theorem and we examine the relation between the previsions of $X|Y$ and $Y|X$. Then, we give some results on random gains and, by a suitable alternative theorem, we obtain a characterization of coherence. We also propose an algorithm for the checking of coherence. Finally, we briefly examine the case of imprecise conditional prevision assessments by introducing the notions of…

Psychiatric comorbidity more common among adolescent females with CD/ODD than among males.

2009

Clinicians and researchers have been increasingly concerned on conduct problems among adolescent females. Yet, most research on the issue has been conducted among males. The aim of this study was to characterize conduct disorder (CD) among adolescent females in comparison with males. Family background, symptoms and severity of CD, and psychiatric comorbidity were assessed among Finnish 12-18-year-old females (n=40) with conduct disorder/oppositional defiant disorder (CD/ODD) compared with males (n=37). Data were collected via structured interviews with the subjects and interviews with parents. Lifetime and current Axis I diagnoses (DSM-IV) were assessed using the Structured Clinical Intervi…

2-Groups with few rational conjugacy classes

2011

Abstract In this paper we prove the following conjecture of G. Navarro: if G is a finite 2-group with exactly 5 rational conjugacy classes, then G is dihedral, semidihedral or generalized quaternion. We also characterize the 2-groups with 4 rational classes.

Some problems about products of conjugacy classes in finite groups

2020

[EN] We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that have only been partially solved.

La consapevolezza professionale del docente: resilienza ed autoregolazione.

2016

Il lavoro di ricerca intende evidenziare alcuni caratteri specifici della consapevolezza docente come forma di meta-competenza di natura sia strategica, sia tattica, riferibile al saper gestire se stessi nel contesto dei processi formativi e auto-formativi connessi con lo sviluppo di nuove competenze e/o lo sviluppo ulteriore di competenze già presenti e il loro trasferimento a nuovi contesti La ricerca è inserita nell’ambito del progetto PRIN dal titolo “Successo formativo, inclusione e coesione sociale: strategie innovative, ICT e modelli valutativi” (Coordinatore scientifico nazionale del Programma di Ricerca Prof. Gaetano Domenici). Attraverso il nostro lavoro ci siamo proposti di anali…

The impact of space development structure on the level of ecological footprint - Shift share analysis for European Union countries

2022

The impact of the space development structure on the level of the ecological footprint is an important element of the sustainable development policy, determining not only its directions, but also indicating the manner of respecting en- vironmental principles. The aim of the research is to assess the impact of the spatial development structure on the eco- logical footprint level. The considerations are based on the assumption that the spatial development structure is a determinant of the ecological footprint level. The study used the shift share analysis method. Selected European coun- tries were the subject of the research. The research period covered the years 2009–2019. The spatial differ…

Learning About Forces Using Multiple Representations

2017

We present two research-based interventions to measure upper secondary student learning of forces using multiple representations (MRs). The first intervention is the Representational Variant of the Force Concept Inventory (R-FCI) – a multiple-choice test for evaluating students’ representational consistency in answering triplets of isomorphic items in the context of forces. The second intervention is an interaction diagram (ID) – a visual representation that helps students to identify forces resulting from interactions between two objects. Students’ representational consistency on the R-FCI pre-test correlated with their normalised learning gain on the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) suggesti…

The assessment of parenting in the child welfare practice

1999

Abstract This study analyzed how parenting and factors considered as important determinants of parental care are assessed in the child welfare practice during the placement process, using ethnographic content analysis of case records. The assessment of parenting and the factors affecting it was unsystematic and unplanned with no consistency between cases. The documentary mentions concerning the quality of parent-child relationships were surprisingly rare. The descriptions concentrated more on parents' problems than problems in parenting and the qualities of the parent-child relationship. This study indicated that apart from the need for systematized assessment methods in Finnish child welfa…
