L'aide à un parent âgé, seul et dépendant : déterminants structurels et interactions
2016
With population ageing, the demand for home care of the disabled elderly is increasing and a large part of care is provided by informal caregivers. This paper focuses on the determinants of care provision by children to an old, single and disabled parent. We focus on two-child families and apply a semi-structural methodology, already implemented on European data (survey SHARE). It makes it possible to distinguish between two types of determinants: structural determinants (individual, parental and family characteristics) and interactions (effect of the care provision of one child on the care provision of the other). The estimation of this model on data of the French survey "Handicap Santé Mé…
Enantiodifferentiation of N-benzyloxycarbonylaminophosphonic and phosphinic acids and their esters using cyclodextrins by means of capillary electrop…
2005
Capillary electrophoresis was successfully applied for separation of the enantiomers of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-alpha-aminophosphonic and alpha-aminophosphinic acids as well as their ethyl and phenyl monoesters with the use of a range of commercially available cyclodextrins (alpha, beta and hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrins) as chiral selectors. The dependence of effectiveness of separation on type and concentration of these chiral selectors as well as on pH of background electrolyte was examined in some detail.
Chemometric Tools to Point Out Benchmarks and Chromophores in Pigments through Spectroscopic Data Analyses
2021
Spectral preprocessing data and chemometric tools are analytical methods widely applied in several scientific contexts i.e., in archaeometric applications. A systematic classification of natural powdered pigments of organic and inorganic nature through Principal Component Analysis with a multi-instruments spectroscopic study is presented here. The methodology allows the access to elementary and molecular unique benchmarks to guide and speed up the identification of an unknown pigment and its recipe. This study is conducted on a set of 48 powdered pigments and tested on a real-case sample from the wall painting in S. Maria Delle Palate di Tusa (Messina, Italy). Four spectroscopic techniques …
External and internal elimination of supernumerary larvae in the whitefly parasitoid Eretmocerus mundus Mercet (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
2008
Abstract The solitary parasitoid Eretmocerus mundus Mercet (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is one of the key biological control agents of the whitefly Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring, also known as B. tabaci (Gennadius) B-biotype (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). We present new information on its biology, and particularly about larval elimination during the first instar in cases of superparasitism. For the first time, physical elimination of supernumerary larvae was observed, both outside and inside the host. These findings are documented with confocal microscopy images and video recordings. We observed more than 350 B. argentifolii nymphs, parasitized with one, two or more than two larvae. Physi…
L'INCLUSIONE FINANZIARIA DEGLI IMMIGRATI: LA TUTELA DEL CONSUMATORE VULNERABILE NEI SERVIZI BANCARI
2021
This book analyzes the linguistic, economic, social and religious obstacles that hinder the immigrant's financial inclusion and attempts, given the current law and referring to comparative experiences, to identify private remedies to protect these consumers. The thesis deals with the problem of linguistic risk management of the immigrant consumer with hints of behavioral law and economics and a comparative analysis, and then focus on the problems of access to credit and current accounts; lastly, it is argued the admissibility of Shari'a compliant contracts. Through a systematic analysis, this work concludes that the vulnerable consumer figure has been codified in the sectoral legislation: d…
"Oh I'd definitely pronounce my 'th's in a job interview" : Irish university students' attitudes towards the effects of a strong Irish accent on the …
2016
Vaikka monessa englanninkielisessä maassa on tehty laajoja aksenttikartoituksia ja -tutkimuksia, Irlanti on jäänyt suhteellisen huomiotta tällä saralla. Suurin osa aksenttitutkimuksista Irlannissa on keskittynyt maan pääkaupunkiseudulle, eikä muualla maassa puhuttavaa englantia ole juuri tutkittu. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on määrittää irlanninenglannin eri aksentteihin kohdistuvia ennakkoasenteita analysoimalla tutkimuksen kohderyhmän omia asenteita ja kielenkäyttöä. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä toimivat irlantilaiset yliopisto-opiskelijat, ja kielenkäytön kontekstina kuvitteellinen työhaastattelu Irlannissa. Tutkimuskysymysten avulla pyrittiin selvittämään kokevatko opiskelijat työnhakij…
L'inclusione finanziaria come strumento di cittadinanza degli immigrati
2021
La actual crisis económica, producto de la propagación del COVID-19, que provocó el bloqueo de cadenas productivas enteras, replantea dramáticamente el tema de la inclusión financiera de personas en condiciones de vulnerabilidad económica y social, como los inmigrantes. El fenómeno de la inclusión financiera de los inmigrantes, en general, tiene un carácter multidimensional, estando vinculado a factores sociales, culturales, lingüísticos y religiosos. La definición de inclusión financiera postula una definición previa de la otra cara de la moneda, que es la exclusión financiera, que tiene una estrecha relación con la exclusión social, siendo una la causa de la otra, en una especie de círcul…

Psychophysical response to electrocutaneous stimulation.
1984
A method is presented to determine a reliable stimulus-sensation relationship particularly suitable for electrocutaneous stimulation. An experimental intensity-discrimination curve was obtained through simple psychophysical comparison tasks, and sensory response was inferred from integration of a JND's density function. The psychophysical response resembles a power law, although departures cannot be described in terms of a unique exponent. An estimate of binary information capacity per electrode is also given as a feature of a stimulation procedure that preserves a low value of the size-intensity product.
Concerning the calculation of the color gamut in a digital camera
2006
Several methods to determine the color gamut of any digital camera are shown. Since an input device is additive, its color triangle was obtained from their spectral sensitivities and it was compared with the theoretical sensors of Ives-Abney-Yule and MacAdam. On the other hand, the RGB digital data of the optimal or MacAdam colors were simulated to transform them into XYZ data according to the colorimetric profile of the digital camera. From this, the MacAdam limits associated to the digital camera are compared with the corresponding ones of the CIE-1931 XYZ standard observer, resulting that our color device has much smaller MacAdam loci than those of the colorimetric standard observer.
