Parametric Design of Sailing Hull Shapes
2006
The author presents an original algorithm aimed at automatically generating the hull shape of a sailing yacht starting from an initial set of parameters. The procedure consists of two steps. First one keel line and a Designed Water Line (DWL in the following) are faired according to a set of parameters, say length of water line, canoe body draft, stem angle and some adimensional coefficients. This information is then used to fair the hull surface, which must in turn fulfil more prerequisites (parameters like displaty cement, floatation area and related coefficients). The hull is defined by means of a B-spline surface, the fairing of which is ensured by allowing for all the imposed objective…
Tacitus on Titus? Visit to the Temple of Venus at Paphos
2020
This article deals with Titus? visit to the temple of Venus at Paphos in the second book of Tacitus? Historiae. I argue that apart from its other literary intentions already mentioned by scholars, this digression implicitly connects Titus not only with Aeneas but also with Julius Caesar. Titus? affair with Berenice that recalls Caesar?s affair with Cleopatra, Tacitus? allusions to Lucan?s De Bello Civili where Caesar?s visit to the tomb of Alexander the Great is described, the ?????Motiv and fortuna?s favour that characterise both Roman generals, all contribute to connect Titus with Caesar and allow the reader to view a parallel between the Flavian and the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Education for Road Safety: What is the State of Affairs in Three Groups of Vulnerable Road Users in Spain?
2021
RSE (Road Safety Education) is well recognized as a reliable predictor of future safety and health outcomes. However, most countries have been slow to develop it, which has contributed to the sensitivity of the situation, as traffic accidents continue to be a major concern for community health. This paper aims to describe and compare key variables related to the RSE among three critical segments of the population, using the data provided by: 477 high school students, 843 university students and 476 older adults. Differential coverage rates were found. Perceived quality, aroused interest and attributed utility for RSE interventions were also compared among groups, finding substantial differe…
La recente riforma della disciplina italiana del subappalto nella prospettiva del bid rigging
2023
L’articolo analizza in chiave critica la disciplina nazionale del subappalto nell’ambito delle gare pubbliche, così come recentemente riformata a seguito di diversi interventi normativi in ottemperanza alla procedura d’infrazione avviata dalla Commissione UE. Stando alla tesi dell’A., l’attuale quadro normativo – caratterizzato dalla quasi totale eliminazione delle limitazioni previgenti (probabilmente anche spingendosi oltre ciò che la Commissione UE ha richiesto) – difetta nel trovare un equo bilanciamento tra il principio della massima partecipazione alla gara, da un lato, e l’esigenza di prevenire e svelare potenziali condotte collusive, dall’altro. La suddetta conclusione, peraltro, ap…

La sombra del poder: Egisto
2017
El poder, si es efectivo, proyecta una sombra, fenómeno inherente a su necesaria entidad, y en el caso del género de poder que representa Clitemnestra la sombra es de todo punto necesaria, pues su poder precisa de la existencia de Egisto, a la vez que de su no presencia. Intentaremos ahondar en las razones por las que se llega al estado de cosas presente en la Orestea de Esquilo. The power, if it is effective, projects a shadow, phenomenon inherent in his necessary entity, and in the case of the genre of power that represents Clytemnestra shadow it is absolutely necessary, because it requires power from the existence of Aegisthus, while that of their non-presence. We try to delve into the r…
Have IFRS Changed How Stock Prices Associate with Earnings and Book Values? Evidence from Norway
2012
Firms listed on European, Australian and an increasing number of other stock exchanges are required to report according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We use a Norwegian sample to examine whether the adoption of IFRS in 2005 has changed the value relevance of earnings relative to book values. IFRS are balance sheet-oriented and emphasize measurement at fair value. In contrast, Norwegian GAAP (NGAAP) are earnings-oriented and focus on measurement at transactional (historical) cost. IFRS also differ by recognizing more intangible assets, which further contributes to making IFRS less conservative than NGAAP. We find that more fair value accounting increases the value re…
L’UEFA financial fair play quale potenziale rimedio alla crisi economica delle società calcistiche in Italia
2012
Recently, UEFA launched the initiative of financial fair play to the football clubs, with the aim to encourage the competition also at economic level, promoting appropriate strategies for rational economic management. In Italy some managerial limits make football clubs less competitive than the foreigner ones. The implementation by the Italian clubs of measures to respect the rules of financial fair play shows some risks, both for the amount of losses to be restored, and for the limits that may emerge. The identification of some causes of the gaps between current performances of the Italian clubs and the basic parameters of the UEFA financial fair play can provide useful information both fo…
Fairness behavior in an economic crisis environment: a Romanian experimental perspective
2012
Abstract In the context of the current prolonged economic crisis, we were wondering if the typical behaviour of Romanians in terms of their ‘fairness’ has suffered any modification. This study is trying to identify the effect of psychological pressure created by the economic crisis on fairness using the Ultimatum Game. We aim to look at the question if this hypothetical phenomenon applies mostly to people who use economic information in their day-to-day life (e.g., economic science students) or if it also affects different populations (e.g., psychology students). Another aim is to understand if any difference is influenced mainly by vocational personalities as Holland hs described.
Consumer protection in cases of unfair commercial practices, misleading advertisements, and defective products
2022
Consumer protection has always been an important element in the laws of every country and for good reason, because consumers bring profit, and this improves the economic situation of the country. But the excessive desire to dominate the market led to bad business practices, along with misleading advertisements and defective products. To keep consumers safe and protected, new laws have been formed to protect consumers and their economic well-being. The creation of the directive of uniform legislation for the European Union influenced the fact that national legislation had to be close to uniform requirements, however, weaker consumer protection than in the directive is prohibited. In connecti…
