"Young people, from problem to resource": a model of youth policy

2018

[Resumen] A partir de los últimos diagnósticos relativos a la juventud en el espacio iberoamericano (CEPAL/OIJ, 2004 y 2008), se identificaron una serie de tensiones y paradojas que enfrentan los jóvenes en sus procesos de desarrollo y de inclusión social. Para conciliar estas paradojas y lograr que los jóvenes de la región puedan realizar su potencial y contribuir a construir sociedades más igualitarias y productivas, se requieren políticas que consideren al sujeto joven en su integralidad. El artículo presenta una política juvenil, desarrollada en el Sur de Italia desde 2006 hasta la actualidad, dirigida a los jóvenes y orientada a la promoción de su activación. El planteamiento de esta p…

Measurement and storage of a network of jacobians as a method for the visual positioning of a robot arm

1996

The goal of this paper is to describe a method to position a robot arm at any visible point of a given workspace without an explicit on line use of the analytical form of the transformations between real space and camera coordinates (camera calibration) or between cartesian and joint coordinates (direct or inverse kinematics of the robot arm). The formulation uses a discrete network of points distributed all over the workspace in which a procedure is given to measure certain Jacobian matrices which represent a good local linear approximation to the unknown compound transformation between camera and joint coordinates. This approach is inspired by the biological observation of the vestibulo-o…

“Curious Victories”: The Famous Murder Case of Maria Barbella and Italian-American Women in the Press Between the 1890s and 1910s

2019

Immigrant women during the period of mass migration received little public attention. However, when some of them became protagonists in sensational murder cases, they burst into the public sphere. Analyzing the representation of Maria Barbella's trial in the mainstream, yellow and the Italian-American press shows how some of these invisible women were able to assert themselves in the public sphere and achieve a degree of agency despite their tragic circumstances. These women, represented as degenerate and genetically inferior in the early coverage of their cases and trials, were, over time, essentially rehabilitated in the press as “proper” American subjects as a result of the convergence o…

Lionello Perera: An Italian Banker and Patron in New York

2022

The book presents the long-lost biography of Lionello Perera, principal banker, patron, and philanthropist of the Italian American community in New York at the inception of the twentieth century. Born and raised in Venice, Lionello Perera took over his uncle’s financial activity in Wall Street and developed the family business into a stronghold of the Italian American community. His remarkable career led him to become the Vice President of Bank of America in 1928 as an associate of California born Amadeo P. Giannini, while he also was instrumental to the political success of New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia. Recognised as a true founding father of the Italian American community of the Eas…

The Role of Early Textual Production in the Development of a Canon of Italian American Literature

2011

Having missed out on many of the developments spurred by the ethnic revival of the 1960s, Italian American literary studies only began in the late 1980s and did not take off as a movement until the late 1990s. However, the predominant focus of this work has been on authors of the 1930s and 1940s such as John Fante, Pietro Di Donato, Jerre Mangione and those who came after, almost completely leaving out the vast literary output in Italian from the 1880s to the 1920s. Especially important, in my view, is the fiction which was serialized in newspapers and other periodicals of the day which not only illuminates the early experiences of immigrants in America and the specific dynamics at work wit…

The Assassination of Lieutenant Joe Petrosino: A Contested Symbol in the Mainstream and Italian-American Press in the Early 20th Century

2023

Recently, scholars have looked at the ethnic press through a social constructionist lens, examining the process through which immigrants developed a sense of identity and the role of print culture in forming “imagined communities” (Anderson). Here, I analyze the coverage of the 1909 assassination of police Lieutenant Petrosino in both mainstream and Italian-American press and popular culture. This shocking event ignited a debate over the nature and origin of the Mafia and the dangerousness of the Italian community, a debate involving discourses of racial difference, immigration restriction, and the capability of Italians to assimilate. This debate became an important arena in which Italian …

Izglītības sistēmu modernizācija efektīvai mācīšanai un vielas apguvei Kamerūnas vispārejā vidējā izglītībā

2022

Vidusskolu modernizācija piedāvā inovatīvus instrumentus mācību un mācīšanās procesu pārstrukturēšanai, sagatavojot skolēnus 21. gadsimta prasmēm. Tomēr nav pietiekamu pētījumu par to, kā izglītības modernizācija iederas dažādās Kamerūnas vidusskolu kultūrās un kā skolotāji un skolu vadītāji vidusskolās ar atšķirīgu pedagoģisko kompetenci un mācību pieredzi spēj darboties dažādās tīkla mācību vidēs. Šajā maģistra darbā aplūkotas skolotāju un administratoru perspektīvas par to, kā modernizēt vidējo izglītību, pamatojoties uz Kamerūnas vidusskolās veikto pētījumu. Pētījums tika veikts, izmantojot jaukto metožu pieeju, sajaucot kvantitatīvos un kvalitatīvos datus, kombinējot atvērtā un slēgtā …
