La Self-Efficacy dell’insegnante per l’inclusione
2020
Gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy, da circa un ventennio, si stanno interessando, con non poche difficoltà, del contesto educativo, in particolare il focus della ricerca si è spostato recentemente sulla figura del docente. Le convinzioni che gli insegnanti possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume indubbiamente un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 503 studenti iscritti al corso per il conseguimento della sp…
Teaching the restoration of monuments at Palermo: the state of the art
2008
Il contributo spiega le modalità dell'insegnamento del restauro nella facoltà di Architettura di Palermo, illustrandone i contenuti anche con la preparazione di tesi di laurea The Architecture Faculty of the University of Palermo, founded in 19 5, is the oldest in Sicily; a Faculty of Architecture based in Siracusa was added in the 1990s and is dependant on the University of Catania; while in 2005 teaching began at the University Kore based in Enna, which o ers a three-year degree course in the Science of Architecture as part of its department of Fine Arts Conservation. The faculty of architecture of the University of Palermo provides a ve-year architecture course (cl 4/S) as well as anothe…
High winter survival rate of acorn ants inside artificial nest sites (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
2022
Although most species of ants overwinter underground to avoid low temperatures, the acorn ants of the genus Temnothorax remain in nests situated at ground level. During a field experiment, I studied the winter mortality of acorn ants in nest sites situated aboveground, as well as in sites experimentally buried in the soil. Despite the low air temperatures (even reaching –19°C, recorded 1.5 m above the ground), the survivorship was very high: all of the 18 queens used in the experiment survived, while the survival rate of workers was 61.9-100%, and for most colonies it exceeded 95%. The rate of survival in the nest sites aboveground and those experimentally buried in the soil was similar. Su…
Acorn Ants May Create and Use Two Entrances to the Nest Cavity
2021
Many ant species construct large nests that are inhabited by numerous workers, but other species dwell in ready-for-use cavities and live in small colonies. Ants of the genus Temnothorax inhabit small cavities, e.g., in acorns, twigs, and under rocks. Although a preference for nest sites with a narrower entrance is known, recent studies have shown that they also use cavities with wider entrances and may modify the size of such entrances. As good cavities for nest sites are a limited resource, the possibility to modify a potential nest site, including a reduction in the size of the hole, should be a favorable matter for the ants. Through field and laboratory experiments, I studied the acorn …
Cost to the cavity-nest ant Temnothorax crassispinus (Hymenoptera : Formicidae) of overwintering aboveground
2013
Most species of ants inhabiting the temperate zone overwinter underground, whereas those of the genus Temnothorax remain in nests aboveground. I studied the cost of aboveground overwintering. Workers of Temnothorax crassispinus survived in higher numbers (median = 88%) in artificial nests experimentally buried at a depth of 5 cm than those in nests on the surface (48%) of the soil. The results support the hypothesis that overwintering aboveground could be a consequence of a limited supply of nests and/or the advantage of being able to respond quickly to warm temperatures in spring.
Job insecurity among temporary workers: Looking through the gender lens
2014
Based on the gender model and the life context model, the financial and domestic responsibilities and expectations associated with getting a new assignment are tested as potential gender specific moderators of the link between job insecurity and commitment, performance, and depressive moods. In a cross-sectional international questionnaire study of 1981 temporary workers’ three-way interactions between job insecurity, gender, and the moderators were tested. Expectations play a moderating role for women only, intensifying the negative relationship between job insecurity and commitment. Financial responsibility strengthened the negative relationship of job insecurity with commitment, as well…
La construcción de subjetividades en el Tercer Sector: aproximación a las Empresas de Inserción en el marco del Capitalismo Flexible
2016
El presente trabajo de Tesis Doctoral pretende realizar una aproximación a las Empresas de Inserción, sus prácticas, lógicas y efectos en el marco de las entidades del Tercer Sector. El objetivo que perseguimos al aproximarnos a las Empresas de Inserción es describir su situación en la sociedad actual atendiendo al papel que juegan las entidades en la construcción de subjetividades. Hacerlo posibilitará la comprensión y el análisis de las prácticas concretas que se desarrollan en las Empresas de Inserción, así como la comprensión y análisis de las lógicas seguidas por las entidades que las desarrollan. Para contextualizar el análisis emplearemos los desarrollos teóricos y metodológicos de L…
Pannello precompresso di vetromattoni assemblati a secco per la realizzazione di involucri traslucidi
2012
L’invenzione riguarda la realizzazione di un pannello di vetromattoni montati “a secco” -da impiegare per la realizzazione di involucri edilizi traslucidi anche nel caso di edifici alti- che è in grado di rispondere adeguatamente alle sollecitazioni orizzontali (quali quelle dovute a vento e sisma) grazie all’applicazione della tecnica della precompressione mondirezionale. Per offrire una risposta ai limiti imposti dalla tecnica di assemblaggio tradizionale dei vetromattoni (“ad umido”), l’applicazione della precompressione consente, infatti, di dare ai pannelli preassemblati “a secco” una rigidezza adeguata anche in direzione normale al loro piano di posa, sfruttando le buone caratteristic…
Canopy Architecture Appraisal by Fractal Dimension of 'Flordastar' Peach Trees Grafted onto Different Rootstocks
2007
The objective of this research was to evaluate the modification of canopy architecture of ''Flordastar'' peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) grafted onto rootstocks with different vigour, by the use of fractal dimension (D). The hypothesis was that different vigour rootstocks are able to modify the complexity of the branching pattern and that this effect can be assessed by a geometric parameter such as the fractal dimension (D) of the 2D projection of tree branching structure. The observations were carried out in a four-year-old experimental orchard of cv. ''Flordastar'' peach trees grafted onto Ishtara, Barrier, GF677 and MrS 2/5 rootstocks. On digital pictures of leafless, dormant peach tree…
Abitare nel reale. Dalla crisi della periferia alla tessitura di nuove relazioni contestuali
2019
I progetti redatti per “Palermo Sud-Est” sono il risultato di un Laboratorio di Laurea strutturatosi attraverso incontri, seminari, comunicazioni specialistiche, esposizioni critiche, che – in una strategia condivisa – ha visto ogni studente elaborare il proprio lavoro nel confronto con gli altri attori del Laboratorio stesso. La ricerca sui “progetti urbani” è stata impostata di modo che ogni laureando fosse messo a conoscenza dei progetti svolti nello stesso ambito territoriale dai colleghi che l’avevano preceduto, così da poter operare in continuità e contribuire a formulare un ragionamento unitario, nel quale ogni progetto costituisse continuazione, verifica o anche variante dei precede…
