Las asociaciones de inmigrantes como organizaciones no gubernamentales de desarrollo. Entre la agencia y la adaptación institucional
2020
De modo progresivo las asociaciones de inmigrantes en España se han convertido en un agente importante de la cooperación para el desarrollo. En este sentido, el entorno político, favorecido por la incorporación del codesarrollo en las políticas públicas a partir del año 2002, propició la creación de una estructura y una nueva ventana de oportunidad para las asociaciones de inmigrantes. Como resultado, en muchas de ellas se generaron procesos de adaptación o incluso hibridación organizativa hacia la reconversión como ONGD. Es por ello que, a raíz de los resultados de un estudio realizado sobre el estado de las entidades del campo de la cooperación para el desarrollo en España, debatimos y an…
Molecular Dynamics Study of Copper and Aluminum under Mechanical Strain
1998
AbstractMechanical properties of copper and aluminum have been studied using finite temperature molecular dynamics simulations. Atomic interactions have been described by a many-atom effective medium potential, which takes into account interactions up to third neighbors. The computed elastic constants showed good agreement with experimental data. Encouraged by these results the model was applied to study fracture in copper. Systems with a grain boundary and an initial cut serving as a crack seed have been studied. In the first case, crack nucleation and propagation took place exclusively at the grain boundary. In the second case, dislocation propagation was observed in one of the <110>…
Millstone coastal quarries of the Mediterranean: A new class of sea level indicator
2014
The coasts of Italy still preserve several remnants of coastal quarries built in antiquity, that now provide insights into the intervening sea-level changes occurred during the last millennia. In this paper, we show and discuss a new class of sea level indicator consisting of millstones carved along the rocky coast of southern Italy since 2500 BP, that are currently submerged. They were extracted from beachrocks, sandstones or similar sedimentary rocks, easier for carving by ancient carving tools. Our study focuses on 10 coastal sites located at Capo d'Orlando, Avola, and Letojanni, in Sicily; Soverato, Tropea, and Capo dell'Armi, in Calabria; Castellabate, Palinuro, and Scario, in Campania…
Un diritto per l'Europa industriale. Cultura giuridica ed economia dalla Rivoluzione francese al Secondo Dopoguerra.
2016
Nel 1807 la Francia di Napoleone raccoglieva nel primo Codice di commercio della storia i motivi salienti della cultura giuridica del tempo, e più specificamente quegli aspetti che, emersi nel decennio rivoluzionario, erano usciti indenni dalla “restaurazione” d’inizio secolo: eguaglianza giuridica formale, unicità del soggetto di diritto, prospettiva individualistica, egemonia del diritto di proprietà. Nel corso del XIX secolo la cultura giuridica avrebbe cercato di rielaborare gli schemi ordinanti della codificazione napoleonica, ricalcandone però nel complesso le linee ideologiche e l’impianto concettuale. Diritto ed economia viaggiavano a doppia velocità: sullo sfondo di un’Europa avvia…
Vivante, Cesare
2020
Una biografia, privata e intellettuale, di Cesare Vivante (1855-1944), maestro indiscusso della scienza italiana del diritto commerciale. Vivante impresse alla giuscommercialistica italiana un’identità culturale e metodologica che trascese le generazioni e le appartenenze, elevandosi ad elemento fondante di una tradizione nazionale di altissimo profilo. Fece del diritto una «scienza di osservazione», una scienza empirica, impregnata di venature positivistiche e sociologiche. Esercitò dall'inizio alla fine della sua lunga carriera una profonda critica, di orientamento democratico e sociale, al diritto privato italiano. A private and intellectual biography of Cesare Vivante (1855-1944), consi…

Using Aerial Platforms in Predicting Water Quality Parameters from Hyperspectral Imaging Data with Deep Neural Networks
2020
In near future it is assumable that automated unmanned aerial platforms are coming more common. There are visions that transportation of different goods would be done with large planes, which can handle over 1000 kg payloads. While these planes are used for transportation they could similarly be used for remote sensing applications by adding sensors to the planes. Hyperspectral imagers are one this kind of sensor types. There is need for the efficient methods to interpret hyperspectral data to the wanted water quality parameters. In this work we survey the performance of neural networks in the prediction of water quality parameters from remotely sensed hyperspectral data in freshwater basin…
Impact of temperature on obstructive sleep apnoea in three different climate zones of Europe: Data from the European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA)
2021
Recent studies indicate that ambient temperature may modulate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity. However, study results are contradictory warranting more investigation in this field. We analysed 19,293 patients of the European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA) cohort with restriction to the three predominant climate zones according to the Koppen-Geiger climate classification: Cfb (warm temperature, fully humid, warm summer), Csa (warm temperature, summer dry, hot summer), and Dfb (snow, fully humid, warm summer). Average outside temperature values were obtained and several hierarchical regression analyses were performed to investigate the impact of temperature on the apnea-hypopnea index …
Artificial organisms as tools for the development of psychological theory: Tolman's lesson
2007
In the 1930s and 1940s, Edward Tolman developed a psychological theory of spatial orientation in rats and humans. He expressed his theory as an automaton (the ‘‘schematic sowbug’’) or what today we would call an ‘‘artificial organism.’’ With the technology of the day, he could not implement his model. Nonetheless, he used it to develop empirical predictions which tested with animals in the laboratory. This way of proceeding was in line with scientific practice dating back to Galileo. The way psychologists use artificial organisms in their work today breaks with this tradition. Modern ‘‘artificial organisms’’ are constructed a posteriori, working from experimental or ethological observations…
