The effectiveness of aid on education in fragile states
2012
Universal primary education (UPE) is one of the main aims of Official Development Aid (ODA). In the last years, the issues of aid effectiveness were widely discussed in the literature. Little empirical evidence of its effectiveness exists, particularly for fragile states. In these countries, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa, universal primary schooling will be off target for 2015, so invalidates the Millennium Development Goals. By means of a panel database, we attempt to measure the effects of official development assistance in education over a sample of 17 fragile states in Africa from 1999 to 2010. We use the most disaggregated and reliable data existing. On one hand, our results indicate th…
L'allocation de l'aide internationale en éducation dans les Etats fragiles : réconcilier les objectifs d'efficacité économique et de justice sociale?
2014
Despite 2005, the notion of fragile states was adopted as an operational concept by most of donors. Nearly ten years after, the increasingly intense debates surrounding the post-2015 global education agenda underlines that the issue about fragile states is unresolved. If access to education can be considered as a "public good", the allocation of international aid is justified, since the early 2000s, for its effectiveness. Our empirical analysis focuses on a broad sample of fragile and non-fragile sub-Saharan countries. Our findings show the emergence of a current contradiction between the inclusive nature of the Education For All goals and the exclusionary nature of the paradigms on which f…

Anxiety levels in mothers of children affected by x-fragile syndrome
2017
Introduction: Anxiety is the psychological process by which the individual reacts to dangerous external stimuli, triggering responses (mediated by norepinephrine, GABA and serotonin) involving physiological reactions and cognitive strategies. Anxiety can be differentiated in state anxiety and trait anxiety. Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a disorder most commonly caused by a triplet repeat expansion of > 200 cytosine-guanine-guanine (CGG) repeats in the 50 untranslated region of the Fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. Aim of the present study is investigating the state or trait anxiety in a sample of mothers of children affected by X-fragile. Materials and methods: 84 mothers (mean age …
El síndrome del cromosoma X Frágil: fenotipo conductual y dificultades de aprendizaje
2015
In this article, we describe the behavioral phenotype of individuals with Fragile X Syndrome and its impact in the educational scope. This syndrome is characterized by difficulties in sensory integration, cognitive deficits (verbal reasoning, abstract/ visual and cuantitative skills, short term memory, sequential processing, attention and executive processes), language disorders (phonetic-phonologicals, semanticals, morphosyntacticals and pragmaticals) and communication disorders, social anxiety, general hyperarousal, autism, non autistic social difficulties, attention deficit and hyperactivity, and learning disabilities. The behavioral phenotype is highly variable and depends on sex, age, …
WWOX-related encephalopathies: delineation of the phenotypical spectrum and emerging genotype-phenotype correlation
2014
International audience; BACKGROUND:Homozygous mutations in WWOX were reported in eight individuals of two families with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 and in two siblings with infantile epileptic encephalopathy (IEE), including one who deceased prior to DNA sampling.METHODS:By combining array comparative genomic hybridisation, targeted Sanger sequencing and next generation sequencing, we identified five further patients from four families with IEE due to biallelic alterations of WWOX.RESULTS:We identified eight deleterious WWOX alleles consisting in four deletions, a four base-pair frameshifting deletion, one missense and two nonsense mutations. Genotype-phenotype correl…
I modelli urbani della ricostruzione post-sismica degli anni ‘60 a confronto con la contrazione demografica dei territori interni della Sicilia. Caso…
2021
Il contributo prende in esame gli esiti prodotti a lunga distanza dai modelli urbanistici adottati in Italia nel secondo dopoguerra, caratterizzati da dinamiche espansive e dotazioni di servizi pubblici dimensionati in base agli standard. Gli effetti della contrazione demografia su tali modelli insediativi, che dispiegano oggi una serie di problematiche che conducono alla necessità di una riorganizzazione spaziale, vengono osservati su un campione particolarmente significativo al riguardo rappresentato dalle città ricostruite ex-novo nel secondo Novecento a seguito di movimenti tellurici. Il caso in esame riguarda il terremoto della Valle del Belice del 1968 e descrive come le nuove città, …
Impact of Fragile X Syndrome on Their Families
2020
espanolEl objetivo del presente estudio es describir las alteraciones conductuales y emocionales en el sindrome de X fragil (SXF) y analizar las reperecusiones de tener un miembro con SXF en diferentes aspectos del funcionamiento familiar. Participaron 79 padres con un miembro con SXF y 80 padres con un miembro con desarrollo tipico. Los resultados mostraron que entre el 17% y el 66% de los ninos y adolescentes con SXF mostraron trastornos conductuales y emocionales significativos y menos comportamientos prosociales. Ademas, despues de controlar las dificultades emocionales y de comportamiento, nuestros resultados mostraron que las familias afectadas por SXF experimentaron un impacto mas ne…
Regionalization processes in agricultural and environmental policies. A regional typologies comparative analysis to identifying fragile areas
2018
This paper, affecting an analysis comparative of the different regional typologies, it analyzes the concept of weakness, with reference to the phenomena of degrade and disarrangement of the grounds, inside the processes of identification of functional territorial articulations to the statistical analysis and the decisions of policy, showing as despite the existence of a fed together of interpretations none of the examined typologies both indeed able to furnish a representation suitable of the phenomenon, since the different procedures of regionalization introduce not suitable discriminatory methodologies.
The Landscape as a Silent Witness of a Fragile Memory in Paweł Pawlikowski’s 2013 Film Ida
2022
This article focuses on Paweł Pawlikowski’s 2013 film Ida, analysing how the formal and aesthetic aspects question silent witnesses about the difficult past using pictures as a useful testifier. In the context of Poland’s national memory, its current political discourse and the Polish-Jewish relations during World War II, Ida offers a significant contribution. The process of scrutinising this difficult past becomes a journey, a troublesome event when a remembrance must be constructed and experienced. The film journey offers a possibility to get back to this period of time and encourages us to pose certain questions: how do sites of memory remain with us through cinematographic or photograph…
