I paesaggi di Roberto Raviola

2020

Tra le varie espressioni del disegno, quella del fumetto costituisce un connubio indissolubile tra immagine e testo che insieme formano la narrazione. Disegnare fumetti è un’arte, la costruzione di una letteratura disegnata che lascia sempre spazio all’immaginazione. Tra i fumettisti italiani più famosi, Roberto Raviola trova un posto di riguardo. Conosciuto con lo pseudonimo di Magnus, il percorso della sua vita lavorativa è stato straordinario. Il saggio vuole descrivere parte della sua opera. Among the various expressions of drawing, that of comics constitutes an indissoluble union between image and text that together form the narrative. Drawing comics is an art, the construction of a dr…

Regional financial development and bank competition: effects on firms' growth

2009

Fernandez de Guevara J. and Maudos J. Regional financial development and bank competition: effects on firms' growth, Regional Studies. This paper analyses the effect of regional financial development and bank competition on firms' growth using the Spanish provinces as a testing ground. The results show that firms in industries with a greater dependence on external finance grow faster in more financially developed provinces. The results also show that bank monopoly power has an inverted-‘U’ effect on firms' growth, suggesting that market power has its highest effect at intermediate values. The effect is heterogeneous among firms according to the financial dependence of the industry to which …

Return of the Apex Predator : How Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) Re-Establishment Shapes an Ecosystem

2021

Re-establishment of a declined apex predator fish species in a lake ecosystem may have dramatic effects on other fish and plankton community already inhabiting the ecosystem. We studied mechanistically potential impacts of re-establishment of the brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the west-central European Lake Constance focusing on two commercially important fish species: whitefish and Eurasian perch. We compared simulation model outputs from two versions of an allometric trophic network model for Lake Constance, one with and one without the trout as the apex predator. The re-establishment of the declined brown trout reduced the perch population directly by predation and indirectly by increased…

The toughest animals of the Earth versus global warming: Effects of long-term experimental warming on tardigrade community structure of a temperate d…

2021

Abstract Understanding how different taxa respond to global warming is essential for predicting future changes and elaborating strategies to buffer them. Tardigrades are well known for their ability to survive environmental stressors, such as drying and freezing, by undergoing cryptobiosis and rapidly recovering their metabolic function after stressors cease. Determining the extent to which animals that undergo cryptobiosis are affected by environmental warming will help to understand the real magnitude climate change will have on these organisms. Here, we report on the responses of tardigrades within a five‐year‐long, field‐based artificial warming experiment, which consisted of 12 open‐to…

Race et espace : la ville comme lieu d’étude des représentations raciales

2022

Cette étude examine les « paysages raciaux » dans le centre-ville de Bordeaux, c'est-à-dire la façon dont les discours sur la race et le racisme se matérialisent au quotidien. Les paysages raciaux rendent compte de la nature contradictoire des discours sur la race et le racisme en Europe, et en France, qui sont à la fois omniprésents et dissimulés. Analyser le centre-ville de Bordeaux permet d’appréhender la manière dont les discours locaux et nationaux s’étayent et se construisent, mettant ainsi en lumière les relations complexes entre les discours sur la race, le passé colonial et le cadre républicain universaliste spécifique à la France (Fila-Bakabadio 2011). Cette étude pose donc la que…

A bibliometric approach to finding fields that co-evolved with information technology

2020

Among the declining industries, for example music industry, some have been revived by information technology (IT). At the same time, in academic fields, some have expected co-evolutions between IT and other fields to cause the resurgence of either field. In this research, the clustering of citation networks with 14,438 academic papers resulted in the identification of 28 academic fields in the areas “Computer Science” or “Information Science and Library Science.” Co-evolutions between these 28 fields and citing fields to the 28 fields were evaluated by an investigation of contents; a methodology to search co-evolutions was also proposed. This paper proposes that pairs of academic fields (wi…

Should dispersers be fast learners? Modeling the role of cognition in dispersal syndromes.

2021

Abstract Both cognitive abilities and dispersal tendencies can vary strongly between individuals. Since cognitive abilities may help dealing with unknown circumstances, it is conceivable that dispersers may rely more heavily on learning abilities than residents. However, cognitive abilities are costly and leaving a familiar place might result in losing the advantage of having learned to deal with local conditions. Thus, individuals which invested in learning to cope with local conditions may be better off staying at their natal place. In order to disentangle the complex relationship between dispersal and learning abilities, we implemented individual‐based simulations. By allowing for develo…
