An exploration of self-awareness among shy adolescents
2009
The aim of this article is to explore the concept of self-awareness related to adolescents with shyness as an emotional and behavioural problem at school. In its extreme form shyness can be seen as an emotional and behavioural problem that interferes with an individual’s potential for growth, learning and overall well-being. Self-awareness is a rather ambiguous term, and psychological, philosophical and neuro-scientific literature discuss the term from different angles that are relevant for this group of adolescents. During interviews and observations in school, 15 adolescents presented their experiences and challenges. Their narratives are the foundation for a discussion related to self-a…
Fascist Unionization and the Professionalization of Midwives in Italy: A Sicilian Case Study
1994
In the 19th century, Italian midwives (then called levatrice) began to organize in an attempt to resist encroachments being made on their practice by obstetricians. Licensed midwives formed professional societies, organized national congresses, and published journals. By the fascist period (1922–43), with the foundation of the first national state-sanctioned union and the institution of an obligatory professional register (Albo), midwifery achieved the status of a recognized profession. The professionalizing practices of midwives, however, combined with a new state interest in their activities and a broader role for the medical profession in defining the proper place of midwives, held Itali…
Conclusions – The Institutional and Organisational Layers of Finnish Higher Education
2019
The concluding chapter of the book discusses contemporary Finnish universities from the perspective of historical layers, which have accumulated over time and have laid the foundation on which new ideas, processes, and structures have been built and which they have also sought to challenge. According to the author, multiple historical layers can be found in teaching, research, and institutional decision-making and administration. He shows how in academic contexts, different historical layers easily support each other, whereas in organisational decision-making, management, and administration, different mentalities, practices, processes, and goals often lead to tensions.
The interplay of various Scandinavian mathematical journals (1859-1953) and the road towards internationalization
2018
Abstract The merger of various Nordic mathematical journals in 1953 into Mathematica Scandinavica (for research) and into Nordisk Matematisk Tidsskrift (for the more elementary topics, from 1979 NORMAT) confirmed increasing cooperation between matured Scandinavian mathematical communities. The merger originated from practical considerations including the wish to have a critical mass for economically viable publications. The present paper presents the basic steps in the development of several Scandinavian mathematical journals from 1859, the year of the foundation of the first general mathematical journal in a Scandinavian language, the Danish Mathematisk Tidsskrift, through various convergi…
The Studium Generale foundation and its juridic tradition
2020
Tras unas consideraciones sobre las relaciones entre el proceso de consolidación de una oligarquía urbana, durante el siglo XIII, y la misma fundación del Estudio General, entre otras razones esgrimidas por la historiografía, reflexionamos, en esta ocasión, sobre la tradición jurídica que ayudaría a definir el contexto normativo fundacional, y, derivado de esto, la necesidad e importancia de aquella primera Facultad de Derecho (Civil y Canónico) surgida en los territorios hispánicos de la Corona de Aragón, así como de los juristas que impartieron sus lecciones y de aquellos que las recibieron. After some considerations on the relationships between the process of consolidation of an urban ol…
Reti: CIB W78: 32nd international conference in “Information Technology for Construction”, Eindhoven, Netherlands, October 2015
2016
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging methodology in the building industry, since the intelligent digital three-dimensional model-based process of BIM can be used to plan, design, structure, manage, and analysis buildings. The aim of this report paper is to provide information about the latest related topic in BIM field connecting to CIB W78 conferenece.
Digital Inequalities: A Review of Contributing Factors and Measures for Crossing the Divide
2019
Part 8: Digital Divide and Social Inclusion; International audience; This literature review focuses on the digital divide in contemporary technologically and economically advanced societies. Prior research shows that the digital divide entails more than physical accessibility and points to issues of technology acceptance and actual use. Recurring digital divide factors outside socioeconomic characteristics were identified in the articles reviewed. These factors relate to personality traits, motivation and digital skills. The factors can be used as the basis for a personality model for understanding acceptance and use of technology complementing models related to economic and social resource…
IFC and Buildings Lifecycle Management
2008
International audience; This paper presents an extension of the BIM technology that allows to manage information during the entire lifecycle of an AEC project. Usually, AEC projects and facility management are dissociated. Our building information system plays a central role in the improvement of the design and the management process. The building activity generates a great number of data and information of various kinds. The management and the communication of these data by the various participants is complex. Our design and management methods use IFC files to facilitate the sharing process for a better qualification and validation of data.
Il perimetro variabile dell’insindacabilità dei Consiglieri regionali: la vis politica delle decisioni “strategiche” per l’economia regionale. Nota a…
2022
La sentenza n. 90 del 2022 della Corte costituzionale risolve un conflitto di attribuzioni fra Stato e Regione Valle d’Aosta originato dalla sentenza della sezione giurisdizionale III centrale della Corte dei conti (la nr. 350 del 2021) di condanna per responsabilità da danno erariale nei confronti di diversi Consiglieri della Regione per aver deliberato un atto amministrativo concernente un’operazione di rifinanziamento del Casinò di Saint-Vincent. A differenza dei criteri precedentemente seguiti per definire l’ambito di applicazione dell’insindacabilità dei Consiglieri regionali nell’ipotesi di deliberazioni consiliari relative ad atti non legislativi (cfr. spec. Corte cost. nn. 69 e 70 d…
The Scientific Context
2018
We review three important processes: the foundation of national mathematical societies, in particular, the London Mathematical Society and the Societe Mathematique de France; the creation of research mathematical journals, focusing on Acta Mathematica and its founder Gosta Mittag-Leffler; and the organization of mathematics at international level, discussing the origins of the International Congresses of Mathematicians.
