Intermedio and Chorus. Re-thinking Theories and Practices in Sixteenth-Century Italian Theatre
2017
L'articolo mette a confronto le teorie fiorite nel corso del sedicesimo secolo sull'uso del coro e dell'intermedio nei tre generi teatrali dell'epoca (tragedia, commedia, favola pastorale). L'esame rivela che, lungi dall'uniformarsi agli asserti dei letterati pieni di riferimenti alle poetiche di Aristotele e Orazio, gli uomini di teatro paragonarono spesso l'intermedio al coro di ispirazione classica. La definizione di "coro intercalare" e di "coro istrione", avanzata da Ottavio Magnanini nel 1614, si può applicare alle tragedie di alcuni celebri autori del secolo precedente che accostarono il coro tragico all'intermedio, corrompendo in parte il ruolo drammatico del primo a favore della sp…
Production and chronobiology of emergence of the cercariae of Euparyphium albuferensis (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae).
1999
The production and the chronobiology of emergence of the cercariae of Euparyphium albuferensis from Gyraulus chinensis experimentally infected with a single miracidium were established during 28 consecutive days from the first day of cercarial shedding. Moreover, the effect of a sudden change in light-dark cycling was investigated. Although the daily cercarial shedding rates show great variability, a progressive increase in cercarial production was observed in the first weeks of the cercarial shedding periods, probably in relation to the demography of intramollusean larval stages. Under 12:12 light-dark cycling condition;, it, albuferensis cercariae emerged in the light, and the rhythm was …
MINDO/3 Study of the Rearrangement of 1-Methylcyclohexyl Cation to 1,2-Dimethylcyclopentyl Cation
1986
The rearrangement of the 1-methylcyclohexyl cation to the 1,2-dimethylcyclopentyl cation has been studied by MINDO/3 calculations, as an application of the branching mechanism model for cycloalkanes. Possible intermediates and transition states have been characterized by diagonalization of their Hessian matrixes. Two nonequivalent pathways, α and β scissions, are relatively close in energy. The calculated transition states are almost equivalent in energy to those found for cyclohexyl cation. Hence, the energy barriers are higher for the rearrangement of the 1-methyl than for cyclohexyl cation, because the former is less stable than the latter.
Interacting processes in protein coagulation
1999
A strong interest is currently focused on protein self-association and deposit. This usually involves conformational changes of the entire protein or of a fragment. It can occur even at low concentrations and is responsible for pathologies such as systemic amyloidosis, Alzheimer's and Prion diseases, and other neurodegenerative pathologies. Readily available proteins, exhibiting at low concentration self-association properties related to conformational changes, offer very convenient model systems capable of providing insight into this class of problems. Here we report experiments on bovine serum albumin, showing that the process of conformational change of this protein towards an intermedia…

Risk Disclosure in the European Banking Industry: Qualitative and Quantitative Content Analysis Methodologies
2022
This book aims to shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of both qualitative and quantitative content analysis methodologies by examining risk disclosure practices in the European banking industry. Content analysis methodologies allow to assess the level of transparency of financial and non-financial reports by focusing on the information disclosed to the public with reference to their risk exposure and management. There is an ongoing debate in the literature to understand whether qualitative or quantitative content analysis methodologies are more effective and useful to analyse disclosure practices. Some authors contend that qualitative methodologies may be more appropriate because…
Continuous auditing in public sector and central banks: a framework to tackle implementation challenges
2022
Purpose This paper aims to analyse the implementation challenges faced by internal audit departments of public sector organisations and central banks when implementing continuous auditing (CA) systems. CA aims to monitor internal control systems and risk levels on a continuous basis to support the audit process. This study identifies the implementation challenges of CA systems and proposes adequate countermeasures. Design/methodology/approach This study employs the design science information system research and the design science research process methodologies to ensure the rigor of this analysis. These research methodologies are adopted to tackle identified organisational problems and pro…
Law of Finance: Evidence from Finland
2003
Although it is widely acknowledged that the benefits of corporate governance reform could be substantial, systematic evidence on such reforms is scant. We both document and evaluate a contemporary corporate governance reform by constructing 18 measures of shareholder and creditor protection for Finland for the period 1980-2000. The measures reveal that shareholder protection has been strengthened whereas creditor protection has been weakened. We also demonstrate how the reform is consistent with a reorganisation of the Finnish financial market in which a bank-centred financial system shifted from relationship-based debt finance towards increasing dominance by the stock market. We find evide…
Assessing Music Streaming and Industry Disruptions
2017
Digital change has profoundly affected the cultural and creative industries, yet there seems to be different accounts on how to best interpret these changes. In such a context, the music industries may provide valuable insights on digital change that may prove important and transferable to other content industries. Based on two recent studies on the Norwegian music market, this chapter explores the extent to which music streaming has disrupted the structures and interrelationships of traditional and new intermediaries in the music economy. It will be argued that music streaming in many ways represents a continuation of past models which seem to amplify incumbents’ position instead of challe…
