The legal origin of income inequality

2014

The legal origin movement is implicitly functionalist, while it explicitly prioritizes economic dimensions of development. From this perspective, the empirical findings presented in this paper seem to uncover the existence of a paradox. On the one hand, common law countries are apparently characterized by countless advantages, yet they do not grow faster than civil law countries. On the other hand, common law countries present a more unequal distribution of income, thus suggesting that also from a static perspective there is no a priori reason to prefer a common law system. To further investigate this paradox, we analyze if common law countries are at least characterized by a better kind (e…

Encapsulation Response ofCiona intestinalis(Ascidiacea) to Intratunical Erythrocyte Injection

1996

Previous studies on the ascidian Ciona intestinalis have shown that an encapsulation response is experimentally induced by inserting vertebrate erythrocytes into the tunic, which initiates a massive inflammatory cell infiltration to isolate the injured area. Several hemocytes contribute to capsule formation, destruction of the foreign cells, tunic regeneration, and wound healing. The fine features of some inflammatory cell types are described although the complete capsular structure is not yet reported. Accordingly, the present investigation further examines various aspects of this cellular reaction against erythrocytes and, for the first time, presents the involvement of extratunical circu…

Hemocyte migration during inflammatory-like reaction of Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata, ascidiacea).

2000

Following an injuring factor such as the injection of erythrocytes into the tunic of Ciona intestinalis, an inflammatory-like response occurs and blood cells are massively involved in these mechanisms. Electron microscope observations illustrate the infiltration and migration of blood cells throughout the mantle epithelium into the tunic and show several prominent morphological changes.

A framework for a network-level performance measurement system in SME networks

2008

The present study aims to present a theoretical framework for a network-level performance measurement system. The suggested framework for the performance measurement system is composed of the factors that enable and cause the productivity and profitability of the network form of organisation. The framework developed in this study can be divided into six subdimensions: (1) network culture, (2) resources and competences, (3) models of action, (4) internal processes, (5) customer perspective and (6) financial indicators of the network. We argue that this framework provides research opportunities to study the performance of the network form of organisation; but even more importantly, it provide…

Una ricerca interculturale in Sicilia: l'innamoramento vissuto dagli adolescenti tunisini nati a Mazara del Vallo

2011

Si presenta una ricerca avviata nell’autunno del 2009. Il problema dell’educazione affettiva degli adolescenti emerge quando avviene il primo innamoramento. Tale fenomeno mostra come sia andata fino a quel momento l’educazione dei sentimenti e lascia presupporre che cosa bisogna ancora fare per portarla a compimento. Si è voluto indagare, sia pure con uno strumento che non scava in profondità ma si accontenta della sincerità delle risposte, il modo in cui gli adolescenti tunisini nati in Sicilia vivono il fenomeno del primo innamoramento e i cambiamenti che tale fenomeno determina negli adolescenti che lo vivono e nel loro più immediato intorno sociale. Si espongono i risultati relativi agl…

Localization of antimicrobial peptides in the tunic of Ciona intestinalis (Ascidiacea, Tunicata) and their involvement in local inflammatory-like rea…

2011

AbstractTunicates comprising a wide variety of different species synthesize antimicrobial peptides as important effector molecules of the innate immune system. Recently, two putative gene families coding for antimicrobial peptides were identified in the expressed sequence tag database of the tunicate Ciona intestinalis. Two synthetic peptides representing the cationic core region of one member of each of the families displayed potent antibacterial and antifungal activities. Moreover, the natural peptides were demonstrated to be synthesized and stored in distinct hemocyte types. Here, we investigated the presence of these natural peptides, namely Ci-MAM-A and Ci-PAP-A, in the tunic of C. int…

De la literatura misógina medieval a la igualdad de oportunidades entre hombres y mujeres. Descripción de una unidad didáctica para 3º de la ESO

2009

Se explica y comenta los contenidos y secuenciación de una unidad didáctica que contiene como tema transversal la igualdad de oportunidades entre homes y mujeres, preparada para la asignatura de "Valencià. Llengua i literatura" para el curso de 3º de la ESO (que hemos publicado dentro de un proyecto editorial, Ediciones SM, 2007). Los contenidos literarios, tanto teóricos como prácticos, tratan tanto de la obra más celebrada de temática misógina del siglo XV, la novela en verso l'Spill, escrita por Jaume Roig, como la Vita Christi de Isabel de Villena, donde se defiende la dignidad de la mujer. Se contextualiza el tema de la mujer en la literatura europea del siglo XV (Cristina de Pizán). E…

The role of embeddedness and top management teams on subsidiary initiative

2018

The importance of subsidiaries reaches its pick with their entrepreneurial role. Subsidiary initiatives (SI) are seen as “discrete, proactive undertaking that advances a new way for the corporation to use or expand its resources” (Birkinshaw, 2014, p. 203), which starts with the identification of an opportunity and should achieve the commitment of resources. Nonetheless, though initiatives are beneficial for the entire MNC (Bartlett & Ghoshal, 1988; Birkinshaw & Hood, 2000; Birkinshaw et al., 2005), they are not necessarily well receive by HQ but instead the MNC corporate immune system activates and initiative are rejected (Birkinshaw & Ridderstråle, 1999). This happens because initiatives …
