De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe
2021
Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …
COMPARISON OF CPML IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR THE GPU-ACCELERATED FDTD SOLVER
2011
Three distinctively difierent implementations of convolu- tional perfectly matched layer for the FDTD method on CUDA enabled graphics processing units are presented. All implementations store ad- ditional variables only inside the convolutional perfectly matched lay- ers, and the computational speeds scale according to the thickness of these layers. The merits of the difierent approaches are discussed, and a comparison of computational performance is made using complex real-life benchmarks.

Metodologia della ricerca sociale e politiche pubbliche
2020
In questo capitolo si passano in rasegna i principali concetti che devono essere padroneggiati dal buon valutatore delle politiche pubbliche e gli strumenti che devono far parte della sua cassetta degli attrezzi. Trattando la causazione e l'esperimento vedremo come nel campo delle scienze sociali sia necessario avvalersi di alcuni accorgimenti per disegnare una buona ricerca valutativa. In this chapter we review the main concepts that must be mastered by the good public policy evaluator and the tools that must be part of his toolbox. In dealing with causation and experiment we will see how in the field of social sciences it is necessary to use some precautions to design good evaluative rese…
Reception of the quality assurance commitments of the Bologna process in Finnish higher education institutions
2016
AbstractThis article analyses Finnish higher education institutions’ reception of the implementation of the new quality assurance systems that governments participating in the Bologna Process have committed to establishing in the Berlin Communique of 2003. The data were collected using a web survey and the respondents were classified with a cluster analysis. The reception was more positive in the polytechnics than in the research universities and women were more positive than men. People working in managerial positions were most positive about, and committed to, quality assurance. Most critical were young researchers in research universities working in temporary jobs. Some opinions were so …
Additional file 4: of RIP-Chip analysis supports different roles for AGO2 and GW182 proteins in recruiting and processing microRNA targets
2019
Overview of gene expression levels in IP and FT samples. Focus on the enriched genes in AGO2-IP and GW182-IP vs FT samples. The reported expression levels are computed as the average values of the three performed experimental replicates. (PDF 1423 kb)
Revenue models, in-app purchase, and the app performance: Evidence from Apple's App Store and Google Play
2016
The effect of revenue models on app performance depends on the app store.The effect of in-app purchase on app performance depends on the app store.Paid, freemium and in-purchase models are shown to be effective in app store.Freemium and in-app purchase models are shown to be less effective in Google Play.App category influences the effects of both revenue models and in-app purchase. In this paper, we empirically examine how the revenue model (paid, free, or freemium) adopted for a given app affects the app revenue performance as measured by the app daily revenue rank. We also study the impact of in-app purchase on this measure of performance. Moreover, we study how such relationships are co…
Improving Hand Hygiene Behavior Using a Novel Theory-Based Intervention During the COVID-19 Pandemic
2022
Abstract Background Promoting the adoption of personal hygiene behaviors known to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as avoiding touching one’s face with unwashed hands, is important for limiting the spread of infections. Purpose We aimed to test the efficacy of a theory-based intervention to promote the avoidance of touching one’s face with unwashed hands to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Methods We tested effects of an intervention employing imagery, persuasive communication, and planning techniques in two pre-registered studies adopting randomized controlled designs in samples of Australian (N = 254; Study 1) and US (N = 245; Study 2) residents. Participants were randomly assigned…
VALUTAZIONE DELLE PERFORMANCE E ATTIVITÀ DI INDIRIZZO, MONITORAGGIO E CONTROLLO SULLA PROGRAMMAZIONE PUBBLICA REGIONALE DEI FONDI STRUTTURALI. APPROC…
2014
La programmazione pubblica regionale attraversa un momento di forte criticità interna legata al soggetto attuatore regionale, caratterizzata da una lentissima attuazione dei programmi operativi cofinanziati dalla Commissione Europea. In risposta alle emergenze economiche e sociali, l’amministrazione regionale necessita di strumenti in grado di comunicare efficacemente azioni e risultati che possono positivamente influenzare la vita sociale e civile della comunità regionale. In particolare, gli operatori economici e, in generale, tutti i portatori di interesse, basano i propri atteggiamenti e le proprie scelte sulle aspettative delle dinamiche attese nei settori economici e sociali in cui op…
ERP and Organizational Misfits: An ERP Customization Journey
2016
Abstract Enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects are complex and resource demanding. Some ERP projects fail due to what is called ‘misfit’ between the adopting organization's business requirements and the ERP's functionalities. Existing literature has studied how ERP systems match to different organizations and have argued that there always exists a gap between the business rules embedded in the system, and the practices and processes that exist in organizations. Thus, tailoring might be an important procedure during ERP implementations, in which the ERP customization takes place in order to ensure the compliance with the organizations’ critical business processes and requirements.
