Household skills and low wages
2008
Originally published in the journal Journal of Population Economics, Springer http://www.springerlink.com/content/100520/ Household skills provide job skills when tasks in jobs and household production are similar and jobs produce substitutes for home-made services. Opportunity costs of higher education are foregone earnings during schooling and foregone household production while studying and later in life. I show that individuals in jobs requiring household skills accept lower wage rates than traditional human capital theory predicts, and that individuals with low household skills tend to enter higher education. According to these results, declining household skills may have contributed t…
What Makes for Fair Schooling?
2007
Slogans calling for “une ecole juste” (fair schooling) are often as vague as they are effective in mobilising public opinion: though there is apparent agreement on the desirability of greater fairness in education, the matter of defining fair schooling parameters is extremely complex and riddled with ambiguity.
La stagione delle riforme degli anni Settanta. Amore, famiglia, laicità
2021
Il saggio ha ad oggetto la riforma del diritto di famiglia del ’75. Quest’ultima viene descritta attraverso il riferimento a tre parole chiave: amore, famiglia e lai-cità, che sono state alcune delle coordinate di senso che hanno guidato la vita politica e personale di Nilde Iotti e che assumono una rilevanza nel mondo del diritto attraverso il loro legame con il concetto di autodeterminazione.
Focus on paediatric and adolescent varicocoele: a single institution experience
2012
Summary The aim of this study was to report our long-term diagnostic and surgical outcome during the last 18 years, in paediatric and adolescent management of varicocoele. The present retrospective study enrols 374 patients observed at our institution between 1994 and 2011. Patients were divided into three groups: Group A includes 142 youngsters and adolescents treated with open surgery for left varicocoele, in which a pre-operative CDUS was not performed; Group B includes 65 patients treated with open surgery in which a pre-operative CDUS evaluation was carried out, to assess varicocoele haemodynamic pattern and testicular volume. Group C includes 167 patients treated by laparoscopy and wi…
Cytotoxic Activity of Tunicate Hemocytes
1996
Tunicates (protochordates) are filter-feeding marine invertebrates with a worldwide distribution. In their larval form, they exhibit many of the features characteristic of the vertebrates. The larva, with a tail, notochord, and dorsal neural tube, upon settlement undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis in which it loses most of its chordate characteristics and becomes a sessile invertebrate adult. Thus, due to these characteristics, tunicates are considered to be the most primitive members of the phylum Chordata. Owing to their position in the phylogenetic line leading to the vertebrates, they have attained importance as experimental organisms and have been examined by researchers from a varie…
Influences on Master’s Degree Students’ Economic Knowledge
2020
Despite the growing body of research, little is known about students’ economic knowledge at the beginning of, or at various points throughout, their master’s degree programs. In this study different impact factors on students’ microeconomic knowledge are tested. Based on the “utilization of learning opportunities model” by Helmke we focus on 1) individual and sociodemographic characteristics of the students, 2) their learning potential and study-related characteristics and 3) the characteristics and structure of their learning environment. For each of the three influencing factors we used different indicators that were expected to correlate with students’ knowledge. We tested the assumption…
Family Needs and Female Work: A Comparative Survey of Public Policies and Private Choices on Equal Opportunities
2015
Abstract Recent studies show that Italian women’s education and skills are high and that they have access to the job market, but, at the same time, there are many difficulties in maintaining a job in certain periods of their lives. Exactly, the critic period is connected to the choice of having children or a “traditional family” and, in general, with family duties. To explain the different percentage of women participation to job market in different countries, recent studies have looked to peculiar institutional structure of “municipal” job market and to social support services. The public offer of childcare and family support explains lots of the differences among different countries, but …

2019
This paper presents some results of the research on ‘Adult education resources to reduce youth unemployment’, which is a part of the project ‘Implementation of the European agenda for adult learning’.

The purpose of the paper is to identify the most/least-efficient non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives to promote youth entrepreneurship and employability in Latvia as well as to show the relationship between the profile of young adults and their opinion on these methods, forms, and initiatives. The findings show that the young adults stressed the importance of cooperation with…

A review of recent research in EFL motivation: Research trends, emerging methodologies, and diversity of researched populations
2021
Abstract The increasing interest in English as a foreign language (EFL) across the globe has necessitated learning opportunities that engage and sustain students’ motivation to learn English. This paper aims to provide an analysis of trends in EFL motivation between 2016 and 2020. While examining 90 studies published during this time frame, we have focused on an overview of methodologies, theories, and backgrounds of researched populations. We have also aimed to summarize the key findings of the literature in order to discuss the emergent themes in current EFL motivation research. Hence, this paper offers a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of recent EFL motivation research trends. Altho…
