Introducing Usability in a Conceptual Modeling-Based Software Development Process
2012
Usability plays an important role to satisfy users? needs. There are many recommendations in the HCI literature on how to improve software usability. Our research focuses on such recommendations that affect the system architecture rather than just the interface. However, improving software usability in aspects that affect architecture increases the analyst?s workload and development complexity. This paper proposes a solution based on model-driven development. We propose representing functional usability mechanisms abstractly by means of conceptual primitives. The analyst will use these primitives to incorporate functional usability features at the early stages of the development process. Fo…
Identità, differenza, diversità

Il volume su “Identità,differenza,diversità”è incentrato sul tema del convegno organizzato a Palermo nei giorni 11 e 12 novembre del 2021.

The evolution of the euro-atlantic pluralistic security community: Impact and perspectives of the presence of American bases in Italy
2007
The article analyses changes in the American global defense posture and the Italian exception to the current trend. It is argued that the changes in Italy cannot be fully understood unless they are analyzed in light both of the changes in the global strategies of the current leader, and of the regional framework in which those strategies are applied. The article proposes an evolutionary interpretation of the development of the American basing network and places the new American basing strategy in Italy within the context of the Euro-Atlantic pluralistic security community, which significantly influences the application and perception of that strategy.
The Intersections of Sexuality and Religion in the Anti-Interculturalist Rhetoric in Finnish Internet Discussion on Muslim Homosexuals in Amsterdam
2014
In recent decades, Europe has faced the rise of nationalist populist movements objecting to increased immigration, cultural pluralisation, and interculturalism in European societies. Public discussion on interculturalism have often focused on the encounters of – and the wrangles with – migrants and local people and their diverse values. The members of anti-immigrant movements commonly object to cultural pluralism and intercultural practices and foster ‘traditional’, ‘Western’, and ‘national’ values. The discourse influenced by conservative ideologies also often embraces traces of xenophobia, homophobia, and misogyny. In this paper, we ask how and why interculturalism is opposed in populist …

2012
We present a review of research over the last decade on web usability for people with cognitive disabilities. Our aim is to know current status on the issue of usability in relation to people with cognitive disabilities to consider the issues they present and future solutions. We proceeded to perform a review in specialized databases of different scientific disciplines. We describe the results and we discuss empirical studies which evaluated usability of websites for people with cognitive disabilities. Conclusions and future lines are presented.
Quantitative analysis of the plurality in news programs of Nou at the last stage
2016
Durante los cerca de siete meses en los que Rosa Vidal y su nuevo equipo dirigieron RTVV, se produjo un cambio de tendencia en los informativos. Unos espacios de programación —vitales para una televisión pública— que habían perdido totalmente el prestigio y la audiencia después de 24 años de historia, la mayor parte de ellos bajo el poder político del Partido Popular. Esa última época convulsa coincidió en el tiempo con la aplicación de un expediente de regulación de empleo que el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana anularía, provocando la decisión de acabar con las emisiones de la televisión autonómica. También por entonces se puso en marcha el Mandato-marco y el Contr…

PLURALISMO JURÍDICO E A DIFUSÃO DOS DIREITOS
2014
The purpose of this essay is to describe how a pluralistic view of law reshapes the current legal discourse. The focus will be particularly on: sources of law, legal families and legal traditions, and legal transplants. While the traditional account based on State law and on a sharp opposition of legal/non legal and official/unofficial law proved to be untrustworthy and oversimplifying, the proposed conceptualization helps to outline the distinction in a more nuanced and realistic way
African Law in Action
2014
AbstractThis article discusses the issue of the effectiveness of law in Africa, looking at it from a perspective different from those commonly used in dealing with this theme. It proposes an analysis of the interactions between traditional, religious and official law in the course of the historical development of African law through the lens of the stratigraphic method. The analysis takes into consideration the different legal layers that have been posed upon each other. The work focuses on areas of law that are not commonly considered in this regard; in addition, the discourse is conducted using examples taken from jurisdictions that are not normally present in debates on African law. This…
