Young Lads and Old Tars: Changing Age Structure of the Nordic Sailors, 1750s–1930s

2022

AbstractThis article analyzes the changing age structure of Swedish and Finnish sailors for almost 200 years. We show that the proportion of the youngest men increased during the age of sail (i.e., the older technology). The average age increased significantly during the early twentieth century as steam (i.e., the newer technology) replaced sail in Nordic shipping. Thus, a technological revolution did not displace the older workers, but rather diminished the demand for the younger ones. This study shows, however, that technological changes were not the only drivers of changes in the age structure of Nordic sailors. Institutional and societal changes also played an important role, though the…

CATALANI E VALENZANI A SCIACCA NEL TARDO MEDIOEVO: RELIGIOSITÀ E FONDAZIONI ASSISTENZIALI

2020

Tre dei sei ospedali medievali di Sciacca furono fondati da esponenti del ceto mercantile e nobiliare catalano e valenzano trapiantato in Sicilia. Questo dato permette di mostrare il ruolo svolto dalle famiglie iberiche a Sciacca. Attraverso lo studio dei testamenti, in cui oltre ai legati pro anima, veniva disposta la fondazione di chiese, monasteri e strutture assistenziali, il saggio ricostruisce le espressioni della sensibilità religiosa e devozionale di queste famiglie, soffermandosi, in particolar modo, sull’istituzione dei tre ospedali e sulle diverse forme di carità praticate. Three of the six medieval hospitals in Sciacca were founded by merchants and nobles, members of Catalan and…

Analisi dei rapporti tra finanza innovativa e distretti high-tech: il contributo delle banche locali nei distretti italiani

2011

Questo lavoro di ricerca si inserisce nell’ambito delle ricerche sui sistemi regionali di innovazione1 contrassegnati principalmente da due elementi: la dimensione sistemica dell’innovazione e la concentrazione di attività innovative su base territoriale. In particolare obiettivo principale di questo contributo è quello di approfondire il ruolo che la finanza innovativa può esercitare nei distretti tecnologici. Nel trattate questa tematica è stato seguito un percorso che può essere scomposto sostanzialmente in due parti. Nella prima parte è stata esposta una rassegna dei più recenti contributi sia italiani che stranieri con particolare riferimento ai due principali aspetti caratterizzanti u…

Trade apprenticeships, schooling and social differentiation in the merchant sector in fourteenth century Valencia

2020

El crecimiento económico de Valencia desde finales del siglo XIV implicó el cambio en la formación profesional y cultural de las élites mercantiles locales. La familia continuó siendo el ámbito de enseñanza escrituraria preferente dado que el objetivo último de esa formación era la transmisión hereditaria intergeneracional de la empresa. La formación abarcaba buena parte de la infancia y pubertad hasta que el joven pasaba a trabajar como contable o factor en el extranjero bajo las órdenes paternas. Este modelo de aprendizaje dependía de los vínculos que cohesionaban las redes de sociabilidad mercantil, compartía superficialmente los instrumentos formales de la contratación del aprendizaje a…

Le scelte strategiche e operative delle banche locali nelle regioni dei distretti tecnologici italiani

2011

Con questo lavoro si intende verificare se si sono manifestati dei cambiamenti associati alla crisi finanziaria globale nelle scelte operative, strategiche e attinenti la natura dell’offerta della particolare categoria di intermediario finanziario rappresentata dalle banche locali. Si cercherà di verificare se quest’ultima tipologia di intermediario, sfruttando i propri punti di forza connessi alla vocazione territoriale delle scelte strategiche incentrate sulla filosofia del relationship lending che pone come valore di riferimento il cliente e di conseguenza alla disponibilità di un portafoglio informativo sulle esigenze del cliente molto più ampio sia stata grado di offrire alla clientela…

Preserving the abductor mechanism in robotic THR: the influence of stem design and cutterpath.

2004

The tip of the greater trochanter is the attachment site for the abductor muscles of the hip joint. Its preservation in robotic and conventional THR is important for normal gait. The effect of different stem designs and robotic cutterpaths on the preservation of the trochanter tip is examined.One anatomical stem, one straight stem, and one stem specifically designed for robotic THR were implanted virtually in CT scans of osteoarthrotic hip joints using the Torch preoperative planning unit (URS-ortho). In transverse sections of the trochanter tip, dimensions of the trochanter area removed by the milling tool were recorded for each stem design and different cutterpaths (3-axis versus 5-axis m…

Hip fractures and femoral bone mineral density in male former elite athletes

2009

We studied whether vigorous physical activity in young adulthood is associated with higher femoral bone density and lower risk of hip fracture at older age in men.A cohort of former male elite athletes (n=2147) and matched control subjects (n=1467) were studied for their leisure physical activity, and for fragility fractures at the hip (proximal femur) by Cox regression. Areal bone mineral densities (aBMD) at femoral neck and trochanter region were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in a subgroup of the former athletes (n=87; median age 59 years) and in a population-based control group (n=194) and compared by general linear models.After their active sporting careers, the former…

Museoparks and re‐enchantment of the museum visits: an approach centred on visual ethnology

2012

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the structural dimensions of a new museal offer, museoparks, which use edutainment and more generally re‐enchantment strategies.Design/methodology/approachTo bring out the symbolic dimensions specific to these cultural sites, the methodology used is based on the analysis of photographic media.FindingsThe analysis reveals four main symbolic dimensions structuring these hybrid cultural offers: spectacularization, immersive character, ritualized character, and very intense merchandizing of the experience.Research limitations/implicationsThis analysis allows us to update a hybrid, complex and re‐sized form of cultural experience that goes beyond t…
