La riabilitazione extramuraria e il donum-munus del tempo restituito
2014
Il saggio in oggetto, dopo aver fatto riferimento alla letteratura sociologica contemporanea, analizza e ai dati statisti degli ultimi anni (fonti Istat) relativi alla presenza dei detenuti nei 206 istituti penitenziari del territorio italiano, si sofferma sulla funzione delle «misure alternative» alla detenzione. Queste ultime fanno riferimento a un insieme di istituti che attraverso il reinserimento la cosiddetta «esecuzione penale esterna», offrono un’alternativa al sistema di giustizia penale ordinario, caratterizzato dall’impiego del processo penale e della detenzione, e mirano, per convesso, ad evitare la permanenza delle persone negli Istituti penitenziari o a ridurre la durata della…
A nonstationary model for the analysis of transient speech signals
1987
In this correspondence, a model is presented for the analysis of transient speech signals, which is based on a sum of the impulsive responses corresponding to a number of poles with time-dependent parameters. The aim of this analysis is to obtain discriminative features of the different transient elements of speech.
Isolation and characterization of two T-box genes from sponges, the phylogenetically oldest metazoan taxon
2003
It is now well established that all metazoan phyla derived from one common ancestor, the hypothetical Urmetazoa. Due to the basal position of Porifera (Demospongiae) in the phylogenetic tree of Metazoa, studies on the mechanisms controlling the development of these animals can provide clues on the understanding of the origin of multicellular animals and on how the first organization of the body plan evolved. In this report we describe the isolation and genomic characterization of two T-box genes from the siliceous sponge Suberites domuncula. The phylogenetic analysis classifies one into the subfamily of Brachyury, Sd-Bra, and the second into the Tbx2 subfamily, Sd-Tbx2. Analyses of the Sd-B…
Alternative energy storage options for heat pump water heater coupled with photovoltaic plant for domestic hot water production
2019
The present work relies on the topic of energy storage for Heat and Electricity applied to Heat Pump Water Heaters coupled with photovoltaic plants for Domestic Hot Water production. The main idea is to evaluate the possibility to exploit the water tank as heat storage for the produced photovoltaic energy and, where appropriate combined with electrical storage. For this reason, two heat pumps with different volume size have been chosen and smart control strategies have been applied while monitoring the water temperature in the tank. Calculations account on tapping profile inferred from monitored data of a representative end-user in a Mediterranean small island. Results show how the combinat…
Majority and minority influence, task representation and inductive reasoning
1996
One hundred and fifty-five participants had to solve a set of 2–4–6 like reasoning problems (Wason, 1960), in which they were told which hypothesis a majority (or a minority) proposed, as well as which example was used for the test. In a 2 × 2 design, participants were also told that the problems allowed either one single correct answer or several possible answers. Results show that, when the source is a majority and the problem allows one single answer, most participants adopt the source's hypothesis and use confirmatory testing. On the contrary, it is when the source is a minority and the problem allows several answers that most participants give alternative hypotheses and use disconfirma…
Does Personality Smell? Accuracy of Personality Assessments Based on Body Odour
2012
People are able to assess some personality traits of others based on videotaped behaviour, short interaction or a photograph. In our study, we investigated the relationship between body odour and the Big Five personality dimensions and dominance. Sixty odour samples were assessed by 20 raters each. The main finding of the presented study is that for a few personality traits, the correlation between self–assessed personality of odour donors and judgments based on their body odour was above chance level. The correlations were strongest for extraversion (.36), neuroticism (.34) and dominance (.29). Further analyses showed that self–other agreement in assessments of neuroticism slightly differ…

La construcción del espacio académico: ciencia y diversidad
2019
espanolLa problematica de la diversidad cultural se ha transformado en uno de los ejes del proceso academico y pedagogico, tanto en lo concerniente a la produccion de saberes capaces de dar cuenta de dicho fenomeno como de estrategias de intervencion pedagogica que nos permitan vehiculizar los procesos educativos con el exito esperado. En este contexto de complejizacion y multiplicidad simbolica de los espacios aulicos, se representan inconmensurables unidades de sentido que potencian “lo conocido” y nos desafian en la busqueda continua de nuevas propuestas y estrategias de accion que, en decir de Garcia Canclini (2004) nos orienten respecto de “donde encontrar la teoria que organice las nu…
Grounding Hypnosis in Science: The "New" APA Division 30 Definition of Hypnosis as a Step Backward.
2015
Every decade or so, the Division 30 of the American Psychological Association (APA) has seen fit to redefine hypnosis (Elkins, Barabasz, Council, & Spiegel, 2015; Green, Barabasz, Barrett, & Montgo...
Economic moralities in self-organised alternative economies : the Finnish cases of ridesharing and timebanking
2020
PurposeThis paper explores economic moralities in self-organised alternative economies and argues that the diverse economies approach is particularly useful in elaborating the self-understandings of such economic communities. The analysis focuses on two types of alternative economies in Finland: ridesharing and timebanking.Design/methodology/approachThrough qualitative data, the paper looks into moments of negotiation where economic moralities of self-organised alternative economies are explicitly debated. The main research data consists of social media conversations, supplemented by a member survey for the participants of the studied timebank. The data are analysed through theory-guided qu…
