A Power Law Behavior in the Incentivized Italian Photovoltaic Market
2018
The Italian photovoltaic (PV) marketis analyzed by using the data contained in the database that describes all PV Plants installed in Italy under the incentive program called “2nd Conto Energia”. It is shown that the cumulative probability distribution of the size of the installed PV plants has a broken power tail. An approach to partially quantify the effect of the economic, juridical and technical rules is introduced in order to show how the regulatory body influences the power tail of the cumulative probability curve.
Understanding Language Teacher Identities : Conceptualizations, practices and change
2019
This chapter presents some new approaches and questions in language teacher identity research that could facilitate a better understanding of the work of language teachers, and as a consequence help teacher educators to support them in that work. Language teacher research has shown that periods of change play an important role in identity development. In the field of general teacher research, several studies have addressed the significance of transition phases and changes in curriculum for teacher identities and beliefs. However, there has been some research on the significance of teacher education and transition to full-time teaching for language teacher identity development. A more partic…
La résilience de l’érosion du sol en réponse à l’évolution des occupations culturales du sol en contexte viticole (Monthelie, Côte de Beaune)
2011
National audience; Les événements naturels extrêmes sont à l’origine de l’essentiel du transfert de matière observé sur les versants. Outre des enjeux sociétaux et économiques, ces événements peuvent également avoir des répercussions environnementales et culturales irréversibles en modifiant les répartitions spatiales des surfaces cultivables, en affectant aussi bien quantitativement que qualitativement les sols de ces versants. Il apparaît donc essentiel de comprendre, quantifier et prévoir les transferts de matière sur les versants en réponse à des événements naturels extrêmes.Parmi les différents contextes agricoles, les versants viticoles sont reconnus comme des versants particulièremen…
Is Democracy Exportable?
2017
Among many aspects to the question of whether democracy is exportable, this contribution focuses on the role of the people, understood not as a unitary actor but as a heterogeneous set: the citizens. The people matter, in a different way, both in the countries to which democracy might be exported and in the democratic countries in which the question is about promoting democracy elsewhere. The mechanisms or characteristics involved in the discussion include yardstick competition, differences among citizens in the intensity of their preferences, differences among autocracies regarding intrusion into private life, citizens’ assessments of future regime change, and responsiveness of elected inc…

Surcotes, tempêtes et risque d’inondation le long du littoral belge : variabilité contemporaine et future (1950-2100)
2010
6 pages; International audience; A l’échelle quotidienne, la hauteur des surcotes à Ostende est quasi-linéairement corrélée à la pressionatmosphérique de surface (PSM) sur la Mer Baltique. Les plus fortes surcotes s’y produisent quand une dépression restestationnaire plusieurs jours sur la Scandinavie synchrone à un renforcement de l’anticyclone des Açores. Cette géographiebarométrique favorise la genèse des forts vents d’afflux de nord-ouest dans la partie sud de la Mer du Nord. Un modèle derégression linéaire permet de simuler de façon robuste la variabilité interannuelle des fortes surcotes à Ostende de 1950 à2000 avec (i) la PSM autour de la Mer Baltique et (ii) le gradient barométrique…
Priming effect increases with depth in a boreal forest soil
2016
Abstract Climate warming increases labile carbon (C) inputs to soil through increased photosynthesis and C allocation belowground. This could counterintuitively lead to losses of soil C via priming effects (PE): the stimulation of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition caused by labile C addition. Systematic quantification of PEs in different ecosystems is needed. We measured PEs of free-living soil microbes in different layers of a boreal forest soil, and found that the relative magnitude of the PE increased with soil depth. The relationship between relative PE and the added glucose amount also depended on the soil layer. Our results indicate that the decomposition of SOM in deeper soil l…
Principals’ views on changes in the provision of support for learning and schooling in Finland after educational reform
2019
Recently, the large-scale reforms of special education have been carried out in many countries. This study focuses on the latest Finnish reform of special education in compulsory education. As principals lead educational reforms in schools, their role in the implementation of reform is significant. The study explores principals’ views on the changes in support arrangements after the educational reform. We used latent class analysis to identify the subgroups of principals who share similar views. In addition, we examined the relationship between the subgroups and individual, school, and municipal level factors using multinomial logistic regression analysis. Four subgroups were identified: im…
Cambiamenti nell'uso dei soggetti clitici veneti: il ruolo del contatto con l'italiano
2018
This chapter discusses the results of a series of data on the syntax of subject clitic pronouns in Venetan dialects. The data were gathered through a crowdsourcing tool (google modules), and more than 700 participants took part in the inquiry. The data collection asked for grammaticality judgements on a series of contexts. The main research question was whether the syntax of subject clitics is changing in the language of the younger generation: this question is particularly important because the distribution of the Venetan varieties througout the Veneto region is changing, due to the increasing influence and presence of Italian, which is the L1 of most of the younger speakers. The results s…
