Il margine del parco agricolo del torrente San Vincenzo su corso Italia, Carini
2014
Sui rilievi a ovest di Palermo, ai piedi di Monte Saraceno e Monte Ceresia, circondato dai monti Pecoraro, Montagna Longa, Tre Pizzi, Colombrina, si sviluppa, su unʼaltura a 181 metri dal livello del mare, il nucleo di Carini. Il territorio, inciso in direzione sud-nord da alcuni collegamenti, tra cui quello di corso Italia, si estende, attraversato dalla linea ferrata e dalla statale 113, sino al golfo omonimo. Lungo la fascia a ovest dellʼabitato (di circa 100 ha) tra agrumeti, frutteti, uliveti, aree semi-coltivate o abbandonate, si può individuare una zona (di circa 240 ha), attraversata dal torrente San Vincenzo. La ferrovia (a nord), corso Italia (a est), la Rocca del Castello con le …

Contact-induced phenomena in the Alps
2019
The main question underlying this chapter is to what extent language contact can affect syntactic structure. To tackle this issue we examine two relevant phenomena found in two minority languages spoken in the region Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol: clitic climbing in Dolomitic Ladin and the use of the Romance complementizer ke in Cimbrian. Both phenomena are usually considered as the result of a contact-induced change influenced by the neighbouring Italo-Romance varieties. However, it is shown that the rising of clitic climbing is a language-internal process which is only accelerated by the contact with Italian. Similarly, the lexical borrowing of the complementizer ke in Cimbrian does not…
Cartes et élections : la construction des circonscriptions électorales aux Etats-Unis, entre égalité et équité
2003
Maps and Elections : The Construction of Electoral Districts in the USA. Decennal census-led redistricting in the United States is the occasion for court actions focused nowadays on the political representation of ethnic minorities. Computer tools make possible the building of districts specifically tailored for Blacks or Hispanics, but blatant racial gerrymandering is now rejected by the US Supreme Court. This paper examines the most relevant judicial decisions and describes several local cases.
Classroom management practices and their associations with children’s mathematics skills in two cultural groups
2014
The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which contextual factors predict children’s mathematics skills in different cognitive domains. The sample consisted of 1734 students from 26 Estonian- and 17 Russian-language schools in Estonia. Mathematics and non-verbal reasoning tests were carried out at the beginning of the third grade. In addition, teachers were asked about their classroom management practices. The results of multilevel modelling showed that applying supportive practices in the classroom contributes to higher achievement in mathematics. Teachers from Estonian- and Russian-language schools were also found to differ with regard to their management practices, and these pra…
Community Participation in Urban Suburbs: The Italian Case of Z.E.N. Slum of Palermo
2015
Based on Kurt Lewin’s Action Research theory, the paper focuses on an Action Research project issued in Southern Italy, in the disadvantaged suburb of Palermo (Sicily), called Z.E.N., sadly famous as a dangerous and “criminogenic” urban slum, in order to stimulate social participation and to develop social change. The principal goal was the empowerment of ordinary inhabitants, obtaining their collaboration through participation, giving them acquisition of knowledge for a real social change.
Modelling the labour market of minority ethnic groups
2012
Abstract This paper investigates the effects, in terms of labour and macroeconomic indicators, of closing the gap between the ethnic minority employment rate and the overall population rate using a computable general equilibrium modelling framework. The labour market has been integrated by indicators related to ethnicity, employment status and occupational class. The policy test has been designed for the UK. According to the results, the policy actions aimed to remove the barriers that contribute to the unemployment of the minority ethnic groups improve not only the employment and occupational status of these groups, but the effects are also positive in terms of aggregate employment, GDP, t…
