Reducing Relationship Conflict in Virtual Teams With Diversity Faultlines: The Effect of an Online Affect Management Intervention on the Rate of Grow…
2020
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of an online affect management intervention on relationship conflict through the rate of growth of team resilience in virtual teams with diversity faultlines. Fifty-two 4-person teams participated in a randomized controlled trial design with repeated measures (i.e., three measurement occasions). Teams were randomly assigned to either an intervention designed to help them manage emotions in virtual teams or a control condition. Our findings showed that affect management can reduce the level of relationship conflict in virtual teams with diversity faultlines and that this effect can be explained by the pattern of change in team resilience in re…
Grzech pierworodny w kontekście ewolucyjnego obrazu świata
2021
Modern science portrays the genesis of man as just another link in the chain of evolution - first cosmic and then biological evolution. In such a worldview there is no place for a Garden ofEden or a miraculously innocent couple. Also, violence, suffering and death have accompanied humanity from the very be�ginning. The aim ofthis paper is to show that the Christian doctrine oforiginal sin does not conflict with the scientific worldview, provided, however, that it is properly understood. Within the evolutionary model ofthe world, original sin can be defined as the refusal to take a certain step that at some point should have been taken and that was made possible by Gods call. The failure to …
Aeolian Remobilisation of the 2011-Cordón Caulle Tephra-Fallout Deposit: Example of an Important Process in the Life Cycle of Volcanic Ash
2020
Although volcanic eruptions represent short periods in the whole history of a volcano, the large amount of loose pyroclastic material produced, combined with aeolian processes, can lead to continuous, long-lasting reworking of volcanic products. Driven by wind, these processes significantly influence the geomorphology and prolong the impacts of eruptions on exposed communities and ecosystems. Since such phenomena are of interest to scientists from a range of disciplines (e.g., volcanology, atmospheric and soil sciences), a well-defined, common nomenclature is necessary to optimise the multidisciplinary characterisation of both processes and deposits. We, therefore, first describe ash wind-r…
Variabilità delle serie storiche di temperatura e precipitazione in Sicilia
2008
A regional analysis of longer time series of temperature and rainfall, in Sicily, was performed. Trends and rainfall-temperature correlation was investigated, finding tipical droughty behaviour.
Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall over the Republic of Djibouti from 1946 to 2017.
2021
20 pages; International audience; For the first time, the spatial and temporal variability of rainfall in the Republic of Djibouti is investigated using data from 14 weather stations over the period 1946–2017. Due to limited data availability, high-resolution long-term satellite rainfall products (CHIRPS, PERSIANN-CDR, TAMSATv3, ARC2) and ERA5 reanalysis also contribute to document time–space rainfall variability at monthly, seasonal and annual scales. Principal component analysis identifies two spatially coherent regions of rainfall variability in the east (coastal zone) and the west (inland zone) of the country. Annual rainfall amounts are everywhere very low (60–300 mm), but with contras…
Global CHIRPS MCWD (Maximum Cumulative Water Deficit) Dataset
2021
Global CHIRPS MCWD Dataset The MCWD (Maximum Cumulative Water Deficit) is a measure of drought severity, which corresponds to the maximum value of the monthly accumulated water deficit reached for each pixel within the year. The MCWD is a useful indicator of meteorologically induced water stress without taking into account local soil conditions and plant adaptations, which are poorly understood in Amazonia. The full method of MCWD is described in Aragão et al. (2007; https://doi.org/10.1029/2006GL028946). Detail about CHIRPS (Rainfall Estimates from Rain Gauge and Satellite Observations) can be found in Funk et al. (2015; https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2015.66). Coverage: Spanning 5…

L'acquisto di immobili da costruire
2007
La tematica affrontata è di grande importanza pratica, oggetto di recente riforma. La trattazione parte da lontano, toccando la storia dell'istituto fino ai risvolti di diritto comparato. I: Dal cosiddetto «preliminare ad effetti anticipati» all’«acquisto di immobili da costruire». – II: La disciplina dei contratti di «acquisto di immobili da costruire». – III: Vendita forzata, fallimento e proposte de iure condendo. – Appendice.
Mobility of Cultures and Knowledge Management in Contemporary Europe
2012
In the aftermath of the fall of the Iron Curtain, the European Union (EU) has included more and more new member states from Central and Eastern parts of the European continent. This enlargement process has increased the cultural diversity of the European community as new languages and minority groups have been subsumed into the EU. It is the purpose of this article to discuss the challenges that result from the EU's enlargement, together with the added intra-European mobility of cultures, that affect the national knowledge infrastructures. Based on recent social scientific scholarship on mobility and cultures, this article proposes that knowledge management in contemporary Europe is not onl…
