Promotions and Earnings – Gender or Merit? Evidence from Longitudinal Personnel Data
2017
This study examines the determinants of promotions, performance evaluations and earnings using unique longitudinal data from the personnel records of a large university. The study focuses on the role of gender in remuneration using, first, information on the complexity ratings of job tasks to define promotions on job ladders and, second, information on objective individual productivity. The study finds that individual research productivity was an important determinant of promotions and earnings. The results indicate that gender has no effect on the probability of being promoted, conditional on productivity, nor does it play a role in the performance evaluation of employees. Furthermore, the…
A Cation-Captured Palladium(0) Anion: Synthesis, Structure, and Bonding of [PdBr(PPh3)2]− Ligated by an N-Heterocyclic Phosphenium Cation
2009
Unsaturated N-heterocyclic phosphenium cations (uNHP) stabilize the [Pd0(PR3)2X]− anion proposed over the past decade to be the crucial but elusive intermediate in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (X = halide). Insertion of metal into the P−Br bond of the precursor mesityl-substituted bromophosphine gives the structurally characterized Pd(0)-phosphenium complex (uNHPMes)Pd(PPh3)2Br, which features a long Pd−Br bond (2.7240(9) Å) and the shortest known Pd−P bond (2.1166(17) Å). The reaction is proposed to proceed by an associative pathway involving a Pd-bromophosphine complex that undergoes P-to-Pd bromide transfer. peerReviewed
La psicopandemia nelle relazioni di coppia
2022
The paper analyses couples' feelings and dynamics during Covid-19 pandemic: I feel stuck, in a sort of limbo where essences of life buzz around me, but I can’t access them. Life is at once too overwhelming and not engaging enough. Each task I do requires a search for motivation beyond anything I’ve ever known. I’m tired, burnt out, and not often excited, but also restless, eager to engage, and trying. What’s more, the seemingly unending waves of pandemic panic only further contribute to my inability to feel fully present in my life.
Proto-Indo-European verbal suppletion and emerging paradigms
2008
The existence of suppletion in a Proto-Indo-European language is still a question of debate (García Ramón 2002). While the evidence for such a phenomenon has been widely recognized within the verbal system of most Indo-European languages, some scholars describe it as a recent monoglot development which characterizes the history of each single language without involving a previous common stage. According to Strunk (1977), the hypothesis of a PIE suppletive paradigm based on the alternation of verbal roots such as *es- and *bhu- “be”, or *ei-/i- and *gwa-/ gwem - “go”, must be ruled out because it violates the so-called criterium-b, i.e. complementary distribution of the forms involved in a s…
Collision Avoidance with Potential Fields Based on Parallel Processing of 3D-Point Cloud Data on the GPU
2014
In this paper we present an experimental study on real-time collision avoidance with potential fields that are based on 3D point cloud data and processed on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The virtual forces from the potential fields serve two purposes. First, they are used for changing the reference trajectory. Second they are projected to and applied on torque control level for generating according nullspace behavior together with a Cartesian impedance main control loop. The GPU algorithm creates a map representation that is quickly accessible. In addition, outliers and the robot structure are efficiently removed from the data, and the resolution of the representation can be easily ad…
HDR-ARtiSt: a FPGA-based Smart Camera for High Dynamic Range color video from multiple exposures
2014
International audience; A camera is able to capture only a part of a high dynamic range scene information. The same scene can be fully perceived by the human visual system. This is true especially for real scenes where the difference in light intensity between the dark areas and bright areas is high. The imaging technique which can overcome this problem is called HDR (High Dynamic Range). It produces images from a set of multiple LDR images (Low Dynamic Range), captured with different exposure times. This technique appears as one of the most appropriate and a cheap solution to enhance the dynamic range of captured environments. We developed an FPGA-based smart camera that produces a HDR liv…
La sfida delle coppie a doppia carriera tra strategie di coping e nodi conflittuali. Un contributo di ricerca
2015
Nella dimensione privata e in quella sociale e organizzativa, il bilanciamento famiglia-lavoro e la genitorialita si risolvono in un sovraccarico di responsabilita a sfavore delle madri e nella effettiva disparita nella professione. Nelle famiglie a doppia carriera, il conflitto tra vita familiare e vita lavorativa ha effetti su varie dimensioni; la ricerca che presentiamo prende in esame la presenza di conflitti WIF (work to family) e conflitti FIW (family to work) in un campione di 483 genitori di coppie a doppia carriera e ha permesso di evidenziare che l’aumento dei compiti familiari relativi alla nascita e all’accudimento dei figli e associato a una strategia di bilanciamento che rifle…
La genitorialità nella coppia omoaffettiva
2020
Il saggio affronta il delicato tema della aspirazione alla genitorialità procreativa da parte delle coppie omoaffettive nel nostro ordinamento alla luce dei divieti legislativi e del diritto vivente, considerati nel quadro dei principi costituzionali di riferimento. Indica argomenti e possibili soluzioni ermeneutiche per affermare un diritto alla genitorialità e per offrire adeguata copertura giuridica alla posizione del nato. The essay deals with the delicate issue of the aspiration to procreative parenthood by homosexual couples in our legal system in the light of the relevant legislative prohibitions and the recent case-law, considered within the framework of the constitutional principle…
Negotiating parenting practices: the arguments and justifications of Finnish couples
2021
This article explores Finnish different-sex couples’ (n = 12) negotiations on their parental division of labour. Theoretically, the article is based on the literature on gendered parenting practices and relational negotiations. Our discourse analysis reveals how the couples produced ‘togetherness’ and ‘our family’ by representing their care practices as agreements, irrespective of whether the care was described as equally shared or distinctly gendered. Disagreements reflecting more individualistic tones, and mainly resulting from the mothers’ sense of unfairness, were especially foregrounded when the distribution of household duties was discussed. The analysis also revealed how men cited in…
