STATE BUILDING, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, AND THE MAKING OF A FRONTIER REGIME IN NORTHEASTERN ETHIOPIA, c. 1944–75
2016
AbstractCombining a set of grey literature and primary sources, this article analyses the rise and fall of the sultanate of Awsa, northeastern Ethiopia, between 1944 and 1975. Ali Mirah exploited the typical repertoires of a frontier regime to consolidate a semi-independent Muslim chiefdom at the fringes of the Christian empire of Ethiopia. Foreign investors in commercial agriculture provided the sultanate and its counterparts within the Ethiopian state with tangible and intangible resources that shaped the quest for statecraft in the Lower Awash Valley.
El héroe, el viaje y la construcción de las identidades sociales. Las minas del rey Salomón como modelo
2019
The purpose of the following pages is to better understand how social identities are constructed and how these constructions influence citizenship. For this, I will analyze a type of hero that emerged in England throughout the nineteenth century: the one related to travel and exploration. He is a hero who assumes a thousand-year-old tradition and develops it in a certain direction. Its purpose is to reinforce an idea of the world that serves the interests of the social groups that create or mold that heroic figure and that, through it, aspire to that image of the world becomes dominant, permeating all social sectors. After pointing out some of the most outstanding travel modalities of the n…
Wind- and tide-induced currents in the Stagnone Lagoon (Sicily)
2011
The hydrodynamic circulation is analyzed in the coastal lagoon of Stagnone di Marsala, a natural reserve located in the north-western part of Sicily, using both experimental measurements and numerical simulations. Field measurements of velocities and water levels, carried out using an ultrasound sensor (3D), are used to validate the numerical model. A 3D finite-volume model is used to solve the Reynolds-averaged momentum and mass balance differential equations on a curvilinear structured grid, employing the k– $${\varepsilon}$$ turbulence model for the Reynolds stresses. The numerical analysis allows to identify the relative contribution of the forces affecting the hydrodynamic circulation …
Out-of-Plane Behavior of URM Infill: Accuracy of Available Capacity Models
2022
The aim of this paper is to check the accuracy of analytical capacity models available for the prediction of out-of-plane strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls. The accuracy of the available models is checked by detailed comparison with the existing experimental results. In doing so, both types of capacity models are evaluated: Type I for the prediction of the strength in the undamaged state, and Type II for the prediction of strength reduction in the in-plane damaged state. Results from the calculations are discussed, and the best among the available models are recommended. Furthermore, the influence of orthotropy of the infill masonry in the out-of-plane capacity predicted b…

Validation of the German version of the Kujala score in patients with patellofemoral instability : a prospective multi-centre study
2017
Introduction: The Kujala score is the most frequently used questionnaire for patellofemoral disorders like pain, instability or osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, we are not aware of a validated German version of the Kujala score. The aim of our study was the translation and linguistic validation of the Kujala score in German-speaking patients with patella instability and the assessment of its measurement characteristics. Materials and methods: The German Kujala score was developed in several steps of translation. In addition to healthy controls, the Kujala German was assessed in consecutive patients undergoing reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament for recurrent patellar dislocat…
Dimensions of Community Assets for Health. A Systematised Review and Meta-Synthesis
2021
Since Aaron Antonovsky’s salutogenesis theory and Morgan and Ziglio’s health assets model were first proposed, there has been a growing concern to define the resources available to the individual and the community to maintain or improve health and well-being. The aim of the present study was to identify the dimensions that characterise community assets for health. To this end, we conducted a systematised review with a meta-synthesis and content analysis of research or projects involving asset mapping in the community. Articles that met our eligibility criteria were: (1) based on the salutogenic approach and (2) described an assets mapping process and among their results, explained what, how…

Large eddy simulation of inertial particles dispersion in a turbulent gas-particle channel flow bounded by rough walls
2020
The purpose of this paper is to understand the capability and consistency of large eddy simulation (LES) in Eulerian–Lagrangian studies aimed at predicting inertial particle dispersion in turbulent wall-bounded flows, in the absence of ad hoc closure models in the Lagrangian equations of particle motion. The degree of improvement granted by LES models is object of debate, in terms of both accurate prediction of particle accumulation and local particle segregation; therefore, we assessed the accuracy in the prediction of the particle velocity statistics by comparison against direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a finer computational mesh, under both one-way and two-way coupling regimes. We p…
Marco Ivaldo, Libertà e moralità. A partire da Kant.
2010
Marco Ivaldo raccoglie in questo libro diversi contributi, comparsi autonomamente dal 1984 al 2007 in più riviste filosofiche: l'autore esamina alcuni nuclei della riflessione morale di Kant in una specifica direzione verso posizioni filosofiche successive, in particolare verso Fichte e la filosofia trascendentale contemporanea, con lo scopo di tematizzare un potenziale di questioni dell’etica kantiana per l’attuale comprensione del significato di un’etica in concreto.
