Responsabilità sussidiaria degli stretti congiunti per il pagamento delle spese funerarie e tutela consumeristica del committente dei servizi funebri

2021

Il saggio, sulla scorta degli spunti provenienti dalla comparazione col sistema francese, affronta il tema del regime giuridico delle spese funerarie focalizzando l’analisi su due aspetti: il primo è inerente al contratto per le esequie e il suo in- quadramento nell’alveo della tutela del consumatore/committente le prestazioni funerarie; il secondo riguarda invece i diversi modelli regolamentari codificati che disciplinano, soggettivamente ed oggettivamente, l’obbligo di pagamento delle spese in oggetto. A riguardo, grazie ad una analisi diacronica, è possibile distin- guere una soluzione francese, fondata sulla «solidarietà endo-familiare» che trova nel regime delle obbligazioni alimentari…

Bayesian Design of “Successful” Replications

2002

Replication of experiments is commonin applied research. However, systematic studies of the goals and motivations of a “replication” are rare. As a consequence, there does not seem to be a precise notion of what a “success” when replicating means. This article discusses some of the possible goals for replication; this leads to different (but precise) notions of “success” when replicating. Bayesian hierarchical models allow for a flexible and explicit incorporation of the assumed relationship among the experiments. Bayesian predictive distributions are a natural tool to compute the probability of the replication being successful, and hence to design the replication so that the probability of…

La performance académique des étudiants en première année universitaire : influence des capacités cognitives et de la motivation

2012

Today, academic failure is closely monitored, especially when first year students are concerned. The aim of this dissertation is the comprehension of the mechanism that builds academic success. The approach is both quantitative and integrative. For this purpose, data have been collected from 700 first year students in social administration, law and psychology areas in the university of Burgundy. Collected information allows to control academic and demographic factors. This dissertation focuses on two aspects : a measure of the student’s cognitive abilities at their entry in the university and a measure of their motivation during the course of the year. The results show that the school backg…

Student Progress in Higher Education: What We Have Learned from Large-Scale Studies

2011

en ligne sur http://www.benthamscience.com/open/toeduj/articles/V004/1TOEDUJ.pdf; International audience; This review examines student progress in higher education based on 28 articles examining 25 large-scale samples of first-year entrants in higher education programs in nine countries. These articles were obtained from a search of published and publicly available research on student departure. Although the results of the studies reviewed are heterogeneous, generalized trends emerge from the synthesis of this body of research on dropout behavior, completion, and time-to-degree. The vast majority of the empirical works reviewed indicate that personal characteristics, family background, prio…

Measuring music artist success

2012

Musiikkiteollisuudella on vuosikymmeniä kestäneet perinteet artistin menestyksen mittaamisessa. Mittaamisella on pyritty sekä monitoroimaan erilaisten musiikkiin liittyvien prosessien tuloksia ja vaikutuksia, sekä suunnittelemaan ja ohjaamaan artistin uraan liittyvää liiketoimintaa. Musiikkiteollisuus elää rajua murroskautta, jossa vanhat ansaintalogiikat ovet saaneet rinnalleen uusia tapoja tehdä liiketoimintaa ja markkinoiden muutos on myös muuttanut artistin menestyksen mittaamisen toimintamalleja. Musiikkia kuunnellaan tänä päivänä enemmän kuin koskaan ja tästä syystä alalle on syntynyt suuri tarve uusille, paremmin nykytilannetta vastaaville mittareille. Tämä Pro Gradu-tutkielma tarkas…

Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale (TSLS): A study on elderly attending to university progra…

2015

Several measures have been developed for the operalization of well-being, standing out the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). To cope with some of its problems the Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale (TSLS) was developed. The aim of this study is to present and validate the Spanish version of the TSLS, in a sample elderly attending to University programs. The sample was composed of 737 elderly. Together with the TSLS, an indicator of general life satisfaction and the SF-8 Health Scale were used. Analyses included the study of factorial validity, estimations of reliability and external validity. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis were adequate: χ2(87)=454.593 (p<.001), CFI=.9…

Validation of an explicative model of the successful aging process with psychological, physical, relational, and leisure variables

2015

Increasingly, research on the aging process tends to adopt a dual perspective emic (specific to a culture) and etic (universal), requiring further studies to address this cross-cultural approach. The aim is to obtain an empirical answer to the question of whether a model of successful aging raised from a different context such as the Taiwanese context, is suitable to represent this process in our elders. The sample consisted of 737 elderly. Socio-demographic-data and different scales to assess life satisfaction, leisure, health, and social support were collected. A structural equation model taken from Lee et al. (2011), in which leisure, health and social support predicted life satisfaction…

RETA A TU MENTE, DESAFÍA A TU CEREBRO: COMPLEJIDAD AMBIENTAL Y SALUD CEREBRAL

2016

Abstract.According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that more than 30 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease in the world. Currently, there is great interest in developing strategies to counteract the cognitive decline that accompanies aging and, to a greater extent, neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of the current study is to analyze the experimental evidence supporting the hypothesis that interventions based on novelty and complexity are more effective in order to achieve successful aging. In animal models it has shown that enriched environments and performing voluntary exercise can improve performance in learning and memory tasks, decrease anxiety response and …
