Environmental effects on molecular and phenotypic variation in populations of Eruca sativa across a steep climatic gradient

2013

Abstract In Israel Eruca sativa has a geographically narrow distribution across a steep climatic gradient that ranges from mesic Mediterranean to hot desert environments. These conditions offer an opportunity to study the influence of the environment on intraspecific genetic variation. For this, we combined an analysis of neutral genetic markers with a phenotypic evaluation in common-garden experiments, and environmental characterization of populations that included climatic and edaphic parameters, as well as geographic distribution. A Bayesian clustering of individuals from nine representative populations based on amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) divided the populations into a…

Development and first application of the athlete adaptation inventory: An exploratory study

2020

Geographic mobility has become an essential part of athletes’ career development and athletic migration is rapidly increasing. However, research on psychological aspects of athletes’ transnational mobility is lacking in the literature. In this study we describe the development of the Athlete Adaptation Inventory (AAI) and examine its first application in a sample of 143 professional and amateur elite migrant athletes. In summary, results indicate that cultural adaptation challenges were perceived as slightly difficult. However, female athletes reported more difficulties than male athletes in the sport domain, whereas male and team sport athletes reported more challenges in the non-sport dom…

"Der Rosenkavalier" (Il Cavaliere della rosa)

2014

Programma di sala della prima proiezione a Palermo del film muto di Robert Wiene "Der Rosenkavalier" (1926), con l'esecuzione delle musiche composte da Richard Strauss. L'autore del contributo ha realizzato anche la traduzione italiana delle didascalie originali del film in lingua tedesca: tale circostanza è segnalata nella locandina dello spettacolo, ma le didascalie non sono state ovviamente pubblicate sul programma di sala.

Etude de la gestion des carrières en contexte transfrontalier : le cas du Rhin supérieur

2020

Today, career management in human resources is becoming more international (Chanlat, 2007; Davoine and Ravasi, 2013a; Davoine et al, 2015) for several organizations. It is now a question of enabling their employees to gain international experience. Nevertheless, it turns out that some workers experience international mobility on a daily basis, on a personal basis and not as a result of organizational will, since they cross the border every day to go to work. These are cross-border workers, who are therefore neither expatriates nor international commuters.However, there is little literature in management sciences on these workers and the trinational context in which they operate, particularl…

Global aerosol modeling with MADE3 (v3.0) in EMAC (based on v2.53): model description and evaluation

2019

Recently, the aerosol microphysics submodel MADE3 (Modal Aerosol Dynamics model for Europe, adapted for global applications, third generation) was introduced as a successor to MADE and MADE-in. It includes nine aerosol species and nine lognormal modes to represent aerosol particles of three different mixing states throughout the aerosol size spectrum. Here, we describe the implementation of the most recent version of MADE3 into the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) general circulation model, including a detailed evaluation of a 10-year aerosol simulation with MADE3 as part of EMAC. We compare simulation output to station network measurements of near-surface aerosol component mass con…

Household Debt and Fiscal Multipliers

2015

We study the size of government spending multipliers in a general equilibrium model with search and matching frictions in which we allow for different levels of household indebtedness. The main results of the paper are: (a) the presence of impatient households and private debt helps generate government spending multipliers greater than 1; (b) as financial conditions worsen and impatient consumers find it more difficult to borrow (i.e. in a credit crunch), the size of the government spending multiplier falls; (c) conversely, employment, vacancies and unemployment multipliers are larger when access to credit becomes more difficult; and (d) the model explains the observed pattern of responses …

Fiscal multipliers and job-protection regulation

2021

Abstract We study, both theoretically and empirically, how labor market regulation affects fiscal multipliers. We focus on the stringency of employment protection legislation, a prominent source of rigidity in European labor markets. First, using a small-open economy model that features labor-market search-and-matching frictions and nominal rigidities, we show that an increase in government spending has larger output effects when firing costs are lower. The importance of layoff costs for the public spending multiplier is larger in the absence of exchange rate adjustment and in a recession. Second, we confirm these findings empirically using a panel of 26 advanced countries over the period 1…

Instruments, rules, and household debt: the effects of fiscal policy

2015

In this paper, we look at the interplay between the level of household leverage in the economy and fiscal policy, the latter characterised by different combinations of instruments and rules. When the fiscal rule is defined on lump-sum transfers, government spending or consumption taxes, the impact multipliers of transitory fiscal shocks become substantially amplified in an environment of easy access to credit by impatient consumers, regardless of the primary instruments used. However, when the government reacts to debt deviations by raising distortionary taxes on income, labour or capital, the effects of household debt on the size of the impact output multipliers vanish or even reverse, no …

La valorizzazione della pasta e del pane di grano duro siciliano attraverso la certificazione di prodotto e la definizione di uno specifico accordo d…

2011

Al fine di creare le premesse per la valorizzazione del grano duro prodotto in Sicilia, l’Assessorato Regionale delle Risorse Agricole e Alimentari ed il Consorzio di Ricerca “Gian Pietro Ballatore”, alla fine del 2009, hanno attivato il progetto pilota “Implementazione di un sistema di certificazione per la Pasta e Pane di Grano duro Siciliano”. L’obiettivo generale è la valorizzazione della filiera regionale del grano duro attraverso la certificazione della qualità tecnologica ed igienico sanitaria delle produzioni regionali di pasta e pane. Sono stati definiti specifici disciplinari di produzione che garantiscono la tracciabilità e l’origine siciliana del frumento utilizzato, l’adeguato …
