United We Stand: The Recognition of Joint Degrees
2003
Joint degrees are awarded on the basis of completion of a study program established and provided jointly by two or more higher education institutions, normally located in different countries. They therefore normally require students to take a part of their degree abroad and are a potentially important instrument for increasing academic mobility and internationalizing higher education in Europe, which are among the key goals of the Bologna Process. A recent study by one of the authors, Andrejs Rauhvargers, undertaken for the European University Association (EUA), considers this increasingly important element of higher education that, however, is hampered by inadequate recognition across bor…
Back to the bases: Building a terrestrial water δ18O baseline for archaeological studies in North Patagonia (Argentina)
2020
Archaeology has been using stable oxygen as an isotopic tracer linked with water consumption for decades, and it has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool to assess paleomobility in bioarchaeology. Central-eastern North Patagonia (Argentina) is an especially appropriate region to apply it since it presents a high density of huntergatherer burials, it was a nodal zone criss-crossed by an extensive network of important routes, and it is characterized by a high environmental fragmentation due to the scarcity of fresh water sources. The aim of this paper is to build an empirical stable oxygen isotope baseline of terrestrial surface waters to assess the potentiality of tracing past human movem…
The poor man’s goldmine? : Career paths in Swedish and Finnish merchant shipping, c. 1840–1950
2017
This article analyses the career paths of Swedish and Finnish sailors from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. The article shows that, for the most of the men, the seaman’s occupation was just a passing phase before taking up a job on shore, but many of them also created a longlasting and advancing career by going to sea. There was not necessarily, however, a clear distinction between job opportunities at sea and those on shore in those days: men worked both at sea and on shore. We therefore argue that an individual’s advancement in a maritime career was a context-specific socio-economic phenomenon. In Scandinavia, work on board ships was dependent on features that characterized the divis…
“A Perfect Heroine in Foreign Travel.” Female Mobile Identities and Southern Italy in the 19th Century Non-feminist Periodical Press
2016
This essay focuses on the inteaction between the publication of female travel writing abouth the South Of Italy in non -feminist 19th century British periodicaldìs and the circulation of a transgressive model of femininity centred on the concepts of mobility, vitality and visibility. the choice of Southern Italy, and anti-tourist destination that since the era of the Grand Tour had been considered dangerous for men, let alone for women, magnifies female heroic attitudes and contaminates female conventional domestic purity enhancing the concept of an unfixed female identity. The publications of a travelogue, a mostly non fictional genre, on an innovative and reactive medium, was a manifest a…
Der Aufbau des Sozialismus
2020
Abstract Die politische Schulung der kommunistischen Parteieliten und der Parteibürokraten durch Kaderschulen ist ein Forschungsthema, das unser Verständnis der Funktionsweise des Ostblockkommunismus und der dortigen dynamischen Beziehung zwischen Staat und Gesellschaft vertiefen kann. Ein derartiger Zugang erlaubt es Forscherinnen und Forschern, das Universum des Parteiapparats zu verstehen, ein komplexeres Profil dieser Welt zu zeichnen und die internen Mechanismen der Einparteienherrschaft zu verstehen. Aus diesen Gründen ist die Erforschung der politischen und ideologischen Ausbildung ein notwendiger Schritt hin zu einer detaillierten Geschichte des osteuropäischen Kommunismus. Die vorl…
Patient’s Cross-border Mobility Directive: Application, Performance and Perceptions Two Years after Transposition
2016
Abstract This paper seeks to analyse the directive on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare. Two years after the transposition, it is time for first evaluations of its application, performance and perception. The analysis consists of three major elements: reconstruction of the legal scope and subject matter of the new legislation, conclusions of the evaluative reports monitoring its implementation and performance as well as the public opinion polls revealing the EU citizens’ perception of its details. These three components combined together deliver a picture of the state of play about the pan-European cross-border patients’ mobility. The bottomline conclusions nega…
Los genoveses y el negocio de la seda en Valencia (1457-1512)
2020
We study here the presence of the numerous Genoese silk dealers in Valencia at the end of the XVth century: merchants, artisans, workers. This settlement signified a crucial economic change in the Valencian traditional silk industry with its Moorish background, and this, in consequence, facilitated reconversion of the textile industry and an increase in its trade. Moreover, international migration and the role of the Genoese silk industry facilitated social mobility during the low Middle Ages and contributed to the origin of the modern European system of relationships in the Mediterranean. On étudie ici la présence de nombreux soyeux génois à Valence a la fin du XVe siècle: marchands, art…
Los dominios valencianos de la casa de Medinaceli entre los siglos XVI y XVII. El Ducado de Segorbe
2019
In the Valencian Seigniories of the House of Medinaceli, the expulsion of the Moorish had its negative effects, but not catastrophic. The repopulation impelled the concentration process of the property of the land and supposed a reorganization of the lordly regime that permitted be adapted better to the inflationary movements. The emphiteutic establishments of the properties that belongs to the Moorish originated rural communities quite homogeneous, thought gradually their internal differentiation was increased. Until the middle of XVIIIth century they were constituting typical examples of agrarian societies with a scarce degree of social mobility.
Mobilità, sicurezza e nuove frontiere tecnologiche
2018
Mobilità, sicurezza e nuove frontiere tecnologiche sono settori che hanno ormai assunto un ruolo trainante nell’evoluzione/trasformazione del diritto penale e processuale penale dei paesi occidentali, e segnatamente di quelli europei. Su di essi si è incentrato un Modulo Jean Monnet svolto, tra il 2015 e il 2018, presso il Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell’Università di Palermo, che ha visto alternarsi, in qualità di relatori, tanto esperti di caratura internazionale quanto giovani studiosi e dottorandi. Questo libro contiene alcuni dei loro contributi: una raccolta che, se certo non esaurisce la trattazione della varietà e complessità di profili che ciascuno dei tre ambiti problematici p…
Sea wave energy to produce Hydrogen for public transport in Trapani (Italy)
2016
The coupling of renewable energy and hydrogen technologies represents in the mid term a very interesting way to match the tasks of increasing the reliable exploitation of wind and sea wave energy introducing clean technologies in the transportation sector. This paper presents a feasibility study of two plants for the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen for Public transportation facilities in the West Sicily. In these plants the energy needs for the process is generated by a wind farm and/or a sea wave farm. All the buses will be equipped with a fuel-cell. A first economic analysis is presented together with the assessment of the avoidable greenhouse gas emissions during the ope…
