Revealing colonial power relations in early childhood policy making: An autoethnographic story on selective evidence
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic exposes uncertainty, instability and glaring inequality that requires urgent global policy decisions. Historically, bureaucrats regard uncertainty as the enemy and look for tested solutions (Stevens, 2011). In contrast, Fielding & Moss (2010) acknowledge an uncertain future and encourage shifting policy making towards the search for possibilities instead of replicating singular solutions. Escobar (2020) advocates for pluriversal politics, with many possibilities created through collective decision-making by autonomous interlinked networks. In this paper, I combine autoethnography with policy analysis drawing on my own experience in South African early childhood pol…
Submarine Slope Failures Along the Northern Sicilian Continental Margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea) and Possible Implications for Geo-Hazard
2013
Mass wasting and downslope movements are common processes that have contributed to shape the northern Sicilian continental margin (southern Tyrrhenian Sea) since the Late Quaternary. Nevertheless, processes controlling their evolution are still partially unknown and a variety of geologic factors can be responsible for their formation. In this work we present an overview of the main mass wasting features (submarine canyons, landslides, debris flows) observed and mapped in different sectors of the northern Sicilian margin. The margin is characterized by a narrow, steep continental shelf (1-2°) and a very irregular and steep (6-8°) upper slope. The main aims of this work are: (1) to outline th…

Skaalautuvan vektorigrafiikan sovellusalueet
2010
Taipalus, Toni Petteri Skaalautuvan vektorigrafiikan sovellusalueet / Toni Taipalus Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2010. 31 s. Kandidaatintutkielma Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan skaalautuvan vektorigrafiikan standardin etuja ja heikkouksia sekä sen soveltumista erilaisiin käyttökohteisiin. Tarkoituksena on kartoittaa, mihin standardi sopii ja mihin se ei sovi. Arviointi pyritään tekemään ensisijaisesti kirjallisuuden pohjalta, mutta lisäksi on perehdytty standardin mukaisten dokumenttien rakenteeseen. Tarkoituksena on antaa käsitys standardin etujen ja heikkouksien vaikutukseen tilanteissa, joissa standardia harkitaan sovellettavaksi. Tutkielmassa havaitaan, että standardin soveltuvu…

Il sovraffollamento delle carceri in Italia e l’ultimatum della Corte EDU: riflessioni sulla sentenza Torreggiani
2013
Il sovraffollamento carcerario è uno dei problemi più gravi che affliggono l’Italia contemporanea. La Corte EDU ha già sanzionato in passato il nostro Paese per aver violato l’art. 3 della Convenzione, in tema di divieto di pene o trattamenti inumani o degradanti: era il 2009 quando i giudici comunitari riconobbero a un cittadino bosniaco un risarcimento di mille euro per i danni morali subiti in conseguenza delle condizioni in cui aveva vissuto durante la sua detenzione nel carcere romano di Rebibbia. Da allora qualcosa è cambiato, tra l’altro sono state adottate leggi urgenti destinate a diminuire la popolazione carceraria, ma la situazione non è sufficientemente migliorata e l’8 gennaio …
Italìa e sovraffollamento carcerario: ancora sotto osservazione
2015
La sentenza della Corte europea, Torreggiani contro Italia, ha riproposto al nostro legislatore il tema del sovraffollamento carcerario. Da qui una serie di interventi normativi che hanno toccato diversi settore del processo penale, in via preventiva e compensativa.

Recent events in the Mediterranean call up for a radical questioning of our categories and representations. Sinking boats and emergency landings, reception policies and detention centres, crossings, deviations and refoulements symbolize an era when mobility is fatally related to security policies and new biopolitical regimes. Migrant bodies crossing the Mediterranean address a demand and a challenge that cultural geography is urged to accomplish. The aim of this paper is therefore to rethink spatiality in an ethical sense. Drawing on the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas and Judith Butler, we will try to imagine a new spatiality starting from bodies, displacements, and the complex open weave p…
L'obscur côté du coeur : migration d'images de la profanation religieuse
2010
Ce que nous avons essayé d'exposer dans ce texte c'est une façon, peut-être pas rigoureusement originale, mais en tout cas rarement exploitée, d'enquêter sur la généalogie des images, sur leur processus de circulation et de fixation, et sur le sens que chacun de ces emplois implique. Plus strictement, ce pourrait être une contribution à la fonction des images photomécaniques dans la conformation de niveaux ou de strates de la mémoire collective, de la mémoire socialisée ou de l'image socialisée de l'histoire, comme on voudra. Cette recherche ne peut être menée par une seule personne. Elle requiert la collaboration d'archéologues et de restaurateurs de films pour évaluer les différentes géné…
Assessing risk perception over recidivist traffic offenders from a multi-group approach: how gendered could it be?
2022
ABSTRACT Objective: The core aim of this study was to examine the predictive role of demographic, psychosocial and driving features of Spanish drivers on their risk perception over recidivist traffic offenders, focusing on gender as a key differentiating factor. Method: For this cross-sectional study, it was analyzed the data gathered from a nationwide sample of 1,711 licensed drivers from the 17 regions of Spain (49% females, 51% males) with a mean age of 40.07 years, responding to a telephone-based interview on road safety issues. Demographic, driving-related and psychosocial factors were comparatively analyzed through robust tests and a bias-corrected MGSEM (Multi-Group Structural Equati…
