La prova privilegiata «sbiadita» e le ambizioni frustrate del contraente a valle.Spunti per una presunzione legale iuris tantum
2023
L'A. esamina criticamente l'orientamente recentemente emerso in giurisprudenza e da ultimo confermato dal Collegio di Coordinaento ABF, secondo cui l'accertamento della violazione concorrenziale, condotto dall'Autorità antimonopolistica competente e cristallizzato in provvedimento divenuto definitivo, non potrebbe comunque valere quale prova privilegiata in relazione a fattispecie contrattuali perfezionate successivamente alla sua emanazione. Nel rilevarne la contraddittorietà con l'interpretazione avallata dalle Sezioni Unite della Cassazione, che vuole i contratti di fideiussione omnibus, a valle di NBU, fulminati da nullità paziale, l'A. argomenta invece l'esistenza nel sistema di una pr…
Advance booking across channels: The effects on dynamic pricing
2021
This research analyzes the effects of advance booking and channel type on hotel rates. While this relationship has been addressed in the literature, most studies take a partial approach by focusing only on one distribution channel or one destination. This study fills this gap by analyzing the price dynamics for four channels and multiple destinations. The data set consists of 39,363 bookings for 1085 hotels over 27 consecutive months. We used two-stage least squares to solve potential endogeneity issues, and the results proved that distribution channel, hotel type and hotel size have an influence on the effect of advance booking on hotel rates. Critical managerial implications are discussed…
Manipulating the alpha level cannot cure significance testing
2018
We argue that making accept/reject decisions on scientific hypotheses, including a recent call for changing the canonical alpha level from p = 0.05 to p = 0.005, is deleterious for the finding of new discoveries and the progress of science. Given that blanket and variable alpha levels both are problematic, it is sensible to dispense with significance testing altogether. There are alternatives that address study design and sample size much more directly than significance testing does; but none of the statistical tools should be taken as the new magic method giving clear-cut mechanical answers. Inference should not be based on single studies at all, but on cumulative evidence from multiple in…
Determinants of elimination decisions in the activity scheduling process
2016
[EN] This paper presents an analysis on the determinants related to a particular rescheduling decision in the activity-travel scheduling process: elimination decisions, which consist in the non-execution of pre-planned activity-travel episodes. Data used come from an in-depth computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) follow up survey carried out during the implementation of the first wave of an activity scheduling process panel survey. Open-ended answers related to the reasons associated to changes between pre-planned and executed agenda are studied. First, an interpretative qualitative method based on analytic induction (AI) is used to cope with the complex nature of the rescheduling de…
Decision Making Impairment: A Shared Vulnerability in Obesity, Gambling Disorder and Substance Use Disorders?
2016
Introduction Addictions are associated with decision making impairments. The present study explores decision making in Substance use disorder (SUD), Gambling disorder (GD) and Obesity (OB) when assessed by Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) and compares them with healthy con- trols (HC). Methods For the aims of this study, 591 participants (194 HC, 178 GD, 113 OB, 106 SUD) were assessed according to DSM criteria, completed a sociodemographi c interview and con- ducted the IGT. Results SUD, GD and OB present impaired decision making when compared to the HC in the over- all task and task learning, however no differences are found for the overall performanc e inthe IGT among the clinical groups. Results…
Profiling in Algorithm-Based Decisions: An African Perspective
2023
The chapter explores the experience of algorithm-based decisions in Africa, and how non-African players are using artificial intelligence to enhance their presence in Africa. The chapter then looks at how some of the legal systems of Africa are adapting to deal with this phenomenon in the related jurisdictions.

La transmissió lingüística intergeneracional a Castelló de la Plana i la Franja: La rellevància dels usos entre progenitors
2020
Fa 50 anys, a Conflicte lingüístic valencià, Rafael L. Ninyoles situava el trencament de la transmissió familiar del català com a resultat i manifestació externa de conflictes socials i de classes, especialment visibles enmig del procés de modernització econòmica i mobilitat social accelerada del País Valencià dels anys 60 del segle XX. En aquest article partim de dos estudis de cas quantitatius sobre la transmissió intergeneracional de les llengües a Castelló de la Plana i les comarques centrals de la Franja per a actualitzar el seu diagnòstic i matisar la visió d'aquest fenomen com a resultat de decisions dels progenitors imposades verticalment a la descendència. Hi proposem que els usos …
INTERPRETING LARGE SCALE NATIONAL LEVEL ASSESSMENT DATA IN MATHEMATICS BY USING RASCH ANALYSIS
2020
Latvia is undergoing a nation-wide curriculum reform in general education, with an aim to help students to develop 21st century skills. In order to successfully implement reform, not only teacher performance in the classroom is important, but also the transformation of the school culture is of high priority. One of the key dimensions that is characteristic for a school as learning organization culture is whether it has data-driven culture and is using data on continuous basis to improve student achievement. Large scale national level assessment data is used for many different purposes, however, this data only rarely is recognised as useful data source for planning actions to improve student…
