Migrazioni in Sicilia. Nuovi arrivi in provincia di Palermo
2012
Attraverso l'analisi dei dati statitistici più recenti è possibile dimostrare che in Sicilia sono presenti interessanti processi di stabilizzazione della presenza straniera. Tuttavia non va sottaciuto, né dimenticato - come si tende a fare da parte di politici, studiosi, con poche eccezioni, e mezzi di comunicazione - che la mobilità umana verso la nostra isola, alla ricerca di lavoro e migliori condizioni di vita o come terra di passaggio, da oltre un decennio conosce il volto peggiore delle politiche migratorie dentro al processo di globalizzazione. La Sicilia è infatti divenuta una vera e propria frontiera nella guerra che il capitalismo globale e la cosiddetta fortezza Europa combattono…

Credito, lavoro e contesto ambientale
2014
Nel contributo, utilizzando i dati di una indagine sulle imprese, si analizzano i meccanismi di interazione che le imprese stabiliscono nei mercati del credito e del lavoro. Mercati per molti aspetti fortemente diversi ma che sembrano condividere un rilievo centrale dei modelli di relazione su cui si stabiliscono i meccanismi di incontro fra domanda e offerta.
The chariots of Pharaoh at the Red Sea The crises of capitalism and of environment. A modest proposal towards sustainability
2016
The present global situation recalls us the two walls in which the Red Sea had split to allow that Pharaoh follow the people beloved by God. On one wall stays the economic crisis, that is tout court the capitalist crisis, on the other wall there is the predicament of environment. Then, it is reasonable to wonder if the walls will tumble down with severe damages to all the characters, this time, of this representation; unless a “modest proposal”, of the kind that we will try to formulate in this paper, be intensively pursued. Several of the themes here gathered have already been object of reflection in some previous works. In this paper we collect and enrich those ideas, and put a special at…
Violence against Women and Femicide: an analysis on the murders of foreign women in Italy
2022
AbstractThis paper presents the results of a research on the representations of femicide in the judicial field, in Italy. The use of the term femicide is analysed through the lens of the normative process, examining its social meanings and questioning its political and economic anchoring using the “juridical field” model (Bourdieu 1986). The essay is based on a wide theoretical framework. It starts by highlighting the problems evoked by the term ‘femicide’ (Corradi, et al. 2016; Radford and Russell 1992); its declension in criminal law and jurisprudence through its coding in specific types of offence (Merli 2015). The topics of power and imbalance between the sexes (Goffman 1977) are analys…

A smeared seismicity constitutive model
2004
The classical application of rate and state dependent frictional constitutive laws has involved the instabilities developed between two sliding surfaces. In such a situation, the behaviour and evolution of asperities is the controlling mechanism of velocity weakening. However, most faults have a substantial thickness and it would appear that it is the bulk behaviour of the fault gouge, at whatever scale, that is important. The purpose of this paper is to explore how bulk frictional sliding behaviour may be described. We explore here the consequences of applying the rate and state framework initially developed to describe the frictional behaviour at the interface between two interacting slid…
Terremoti e monumenti in Sicilia: la facciata campanile tra continuità, catastrofi e “ottimizzazioni” (XII-XVIII secolo)
2013
La facciata campanile è un archetipo dell’architettura religiosa siciliana. Dal Medioevo al Tardobarocco sono state costruite nell’Isola imponenti facciate torre con cella campanaria nell’ultimo ordine. Fino al XVI secolo questa tipologia, di matrice nord-europea, contemplava un avancorpo parallelepipedo addossato al prospetto, avente anche funzione di contrafforte a contenimento delle spinte impresse sulla facciata dalle arcate longitudinali interne, amplificate in caso di terremoto. La scarsa efficienza statica di queste prime strutture, verticalizzanti e monoblocco, è dimostrata dai crolli in occasione dei forti sismi che hanno colpito la Sicilia in età moderna. Nonostante le distruzioni…
Selective aqueous oxidation of aromatic alcohols under solar light in the presence of TiO2 modified with different metal species
2022
AbstractA set of metals modified TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared starting from titanium tetraisopropoxyde and different metal precursors to study the influence of the addition of the various foreign agents on the physico-chemical and photocatalytic properties of the catalysts. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, specific surface area measurements, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence, temperature programmed desorption after CO2 adsorption. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated using as probe reactions the partial oxidation of three aromatic alcohols: benzyl al…
Taxonomy of homicides of women in intimate partner relationships
2018
Intimate partner violence prevention is a challenge that has received wide international interest. Homicide is the most serious result of this type of violence, although its prevalence is low and its etiology is complex. This paper briefly reviews the description of the problem from a gender perspective and the existence of asymmetry, the perspective of violence and its description of differential risk factors, and the ecological model that connects personal, contextual, and societal variables, presenting a more integrative proposal. Studies analyzing and comparing homicide profiles are described, as well as the state of the art regarding risk assessment, with special attention to the impli…
