The Potentials of Tangible Technologies for Learning Linear Equations

2020

Tangible technologies provide interactive links between the physical and digital worlds, thereby merging the benefits of physical and virtual manipulatives. To explore the potentials of tangible technologies for learning linear equations, a tangible manipulative (TM) was designed and developed. A prototype of the initial TM was implemented and evaluated using mixed methods (i.e., classroom interventions, paper-based tests, thinking aloud sessions, questionnaires, and interviews) in real classroom settings. Six teachers, 24 primary school students, and 65 lower secondary school students participated in the exploratory study. The quantitative and qualitative analysis revealed that the initial…

2022

This study was carried out within the project “Roma Hispana. Nuevas tecnologías aplicadas al estudio histórico, la musealización y la puesta en valor de Patrimonio Cultural español en Roma: la spezieria di Santa Maria della Scala” (Universitat de València Spain), which is funded by the Conselleria d’Innovació, Universitats, Ciència i Societat Digital of the Generalitat Valenciana (2020–2021) and authorized by the Sovrintendenza Speciale Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio (Special Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape) of Rome, Italy. The spezieria di Santa Maria della Scala was the oldest apothecary in…

Wandering Shepherds:

2022

In Sicily transhumance is still today - even if resized - a practice in which copious shepherds have to turn to, while in Sardinia pastoral mobility disappeared in the 1970s of the last century – however short-range movements remain still active. After outlining a brief historical framework of transhumance in the two islands, the speech would like to reflect on how the traits of history and identity of this practice are starting to change into a new cultural and economic resource, aimed at the safeguard and the valorization of an important material and immaterial heritage and at the promotion of experiential and sustainable forms of tourism.

Literacy Skills as Local Intangible Capital : The History of a Rural Lending Library c. 1860–1920

Bandi vivi

2014

The processes of institutionalization and objectification of post-agricultural can be made clearer by deconstructing and making the procedures triggered by the application of rules imposed by the transnational bureaucratic machine of the European Union problematic and conflicting. The construction of competitive narratives between local and global, which according to the dominant rhetoric would produce unequivocal locality, defined in its relational and contextual aspects, are the basis of the institutionalized development aid system which, just like in colonialism, becomes a field of cultural protest and construction of the neighborhood ethnorami.

Il legame tra innovazione strategica, capitale intellettuale e tecnologie intelligenti

2020

Il successo delle aziende è strettamente legato alla loro capacità di innovare, cioè di proporre soluzioni nuove o migliorative rispetto alle preesistenti. L’innovazione costituisce un elemento imprescindibile per il conseguimento di risultati competitivi soddisfacenti soprattutto nei moderni contesti economici, dove la tecnologia si evolve rapidamente e cambia le “condizioni di gioco”, facendo diventare obsoleti prodotti e conoscenze pregresse, mutando i confini dei mercati e cambiando i rapporti di potere tra attori economici (ad esempio, il cliente sempre più informato e connesso con il mondo grazie ad internet acquista più potere rispetto ai fornitori di beni e servizi). In Italia, così…

Regional headquarters and foreign direct investment

2022

Headquarters (HQs) provide a wide range of services, playing a fundamental role in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). We use the structural gravity equation to investigate the effect of regional HQs on three dimensions of FDI (number of foreign projects, capital investment, and jobs) at the country-pair-sector level. Furthermore, we explore two underlying mechanisms that help explain this relationship: financial constraints and informational costs and uncertainty. We find a positive effect of regional HQs on FDI, as well as intercountry and intersector spillovers. Our results are robust, accounting for HQ intensity, domestic investment, and endogeneity tests.
