Asset and Liability Management for Insurance Products with Minimum Guarantees: The UK Case
2006
Abstract Modern insurance products are becoming increasingly complex, offering various guarantees, surrender options and bonus provisions. A case in point are the with-profits insurance policies offered by UK insurers. While these policies have been offered in some form for centuries, in recent years their structure and management have become substantially more involved. The products are particularly complicated due to the wide discretion they afford insurers in determining the bonuses policyholders receive. In this paper, we study the problem of an insurance firm attempting to structure the portfolio underlying its with-profits fund. The resulting optimization problem, a non-linear program…

Un viaje de ida y vuelta al otro mundo. El Cabaret del Diavolo de Gino Gori y Fortunato Depero en Roma (1922-1925)
2023
The Roman cabarets linked to Futurism were meeting places where the programme of the manifesto Ricostruzione futurista dell’universo was applied. Following the experiences of Bragaglia and Marchi at the Circolo delle Cronache d’Attualità and the setting by Giacomo Balla at the Bal Tic Tac, the entrepreneur and poet Gino Gori commissioned Fortunato Depero to decorate the Cabaret del Diavolo. Based on Dante’s Commedia, Depero would create an integral design of three spaces that configured an allegorical inverted reading of the Florentine poet’s journey to the afterworld. Its originality and careful advertising made the cabaret one of the representative spaces of the Roman nightlife which, des…

Identification of two additives, locust bean gum (E-410) and guar gum (E-412), in food products by DNA-based methods.
2004
Locust bean gum (E-410) and guar gum (E-412) are high molecular weight galactomannans used by the food industry as versatile food additives. The compounds, although chemically closely related, do not have the same functional properties when used in foods, and the substitution or unadvertised addition of either could change the desired qualities of the product. Analytical discrimination between E-410 and E-412 is technically difficult since they only differ in their galactose: mannose ratios, being 1 : 4 and 1 : 2 for locust bean gum and guar gum, respectively. A qualitative DNA-based method is reported for the authentication of additives E-410 and E-412 in finished food products (ice cream,…
In divenire, il cammino pedagogico di Romano Guardini
2022
Pensatore appassionato e inarrestabile ricercatore della verit��, Romano Guardini (1885-1968) indag��, a fianco ai molteplici ambiti del sapere e del vivere umano, il mondo dell���educazione. Diede contenuto e forma al proprio ruolo di educatore a diretto contatto con i giovani, che con cura segu�� presso le realt�� della Juventus, del Quickborn, delle aule universitarie. In eredit�� fra le righe dei suoi pi�� noti scritti, le linee di una teoria pedagogica, premessa ed esito del suo agire educativo. Il presente contributo assume i tratti di un tentativo ��� parola tanto cara all���autore ��� di illuminare il profilo pedagogico di Guardini per scoprire che egli stesso sia, e perch�� sia, un…
Appunti sull’orientamento giovanile. A partire dalla pedagogia di Romano Guardini
2022
Alle già consistenti ricerche condotte in Italia sulla condizione giovanile, hanno dato eco una serie di più recenti studi durante il tempo pandemico, i quali hanno attestato l’acuirsi di alcune fragilità pre-esistenti e l’insorgere di nuovi bisogni educativi. A motivo dell’intreccio di molteplici variabili, personali, socio-economiche e storico-culturali, si è andata delineando l’immagine di una gioventù disorientata e difficile da orientare. Per far fronte a tale urgenza, ormai da diversi anni il dibattito pedagogico si dedica a riflettere su quali siano i principi più adeguati e i percorsi più efficaci per pensare e ri-pensare l’orientamento delle nuove generazioni, finalizzato al conseg…
La costituzione materiale e il compito dei giuspubblicisti oggi. Giuseppe Guarino e il "nuovo" diritto pubblico
2021
What makes Guarino’s figure so fascinating is the multiplicity of his interests, combined with the long activity of his life as a jurist, which ensure that there is not, just one Guarino, but as many as there are seasons and events that he has found to investigate with the strength of reason, clarity, objectivity, combined with a rigorous method of investigation that dissolves into an inexhaustible constructive fantasy. His thought is to separate time between a before and an after, producing a clear discontinuity with the past and creating new perspectives for the future.This essay wants to investigate two central points in Guarino's reflection: the costituzione materiale and the task of ju…
Global Coastal Permeability database (GCPdb)
2023
The Global Coastal Permeability Database contains both the input and output data of the Global Coastal Permeability Model developed by Tschaikowski et al. (2023) and available at DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7845568. The model is implemented in R and calculates the coastal permeability for each shoreline segment of the global shoreline vector created by Sayre et al. (2019) with a 30-meter resolution and covering a spatial extent of 180.0°W to 180.0°E longitude and 60.8°S to 83.7°N latitude. The coastline is separated into three sections (A: coastal aquifer section, B: shoreline section, C: shallow section), and permeability values and ranges are provided for each section. Permeability values were de…
