DesignArt. Ibridazioni creative tra arte e oggetti d’uso
2016
Oggi il mondo dell’arte si apre a un’ibridizzazione di forme e generi. La bellezza e la creatività, categorie fondamentali dell’arte secondo la tradizione idealistica e romantica, trovano nella vita quotidiana nuovi territori da colonizzare. In questo panorama di esteticità diffusa un fenomeno acquista particolare interesse: la DesignArt. La DesignArt costituisce un’intersezione tra due ambiti della creatività storicamente volti l’uno a progettare per l’industria oggetti seriali, utili ed esteticamente gradevoli, l’altro a ideare opere uniche e belle, ma senza scopo. Il luogo precipuo della DesignArt è l’ambiente vissuto, dove contemplazione e consumo si intrecciano in un’esperienza sineste…
Patrones de evolución de filiales en entornos volátiles
2010
En este trabajo se aplican y se extienden los patrones de evolución de filiales planteados por Birkinshaw y Hood, al estudiar la influencia de los entornos volátiles sobre los procesos de evolución de las filiales de empresas multinacionales. Utilizando una metodología cualitativa a través de 41 estudios de casos de filiales de diversos sectores localizadas en Venezuela, se observó que las mismas siguen procesos conducentes a la mejora, el refuerzo y al declive de sus roles. En los resultados se identifican a la matriz y la propia filial como impulsores de esos procesos, pero se aprecia también al entorno local como determinante de la evolución de las filiales, con lo cual se extienden los …
Pedagogías visuales y artísticas en torno al objeto cotidiano
2017
El artículo se introduce en la reflexión en torno a la forma en la que nos relacionamos con los objetos de nuestra cotidianeidad más inmediata. A través de la reflexión narrativa y el ensayo. Se incide especialmente en la capacidad transformadora del ser humano frente a su entorno cotidiano, que se percibe habitualmente sin reflexión, para generar nuevas narrativas de relación artística y estética con los mismos, a través de la composición de nuevas miradas de resignificación y transfiguración de significados. Miradas que devienen finalmente, en la construcción de una nueva narrativa pedagógica y artística que nos permite replantearnos nuestra cotidianeidad desde una perspectiva artística, …
First record of Hemidiaptomus (Gigantodiaptomus) superbus (Schmeil, 1895) in Italy, with notes on distribution and conservation status (Copepoda, Cal…
2011
Hemidiaptomus (Gigantodiaptomus) superbus (Schmeil, 1895) was found in a temporary pool in the Pineta di Classe coastal pine-wood (Ravenna, northern Italy). This is the first official record of a species belonging to the subgenus Gigantodiaptomus of Italian fauna, and it widens the known distribution of this rare diaptomid to the Mediterranean basin. In order to supply data on this rare and poorly known species, original drawings for the Italian population have been provided, and some overlooked morphological features have been highlighted. In light of the growing evidence of the existence of a number of cryptic species in the Diaptomidae family, and considering the variability observed in …
Estetica e oggetti quotidiani ?
2014
According to Hegel and to the romantic theory, Aesthetics is a philosophy of art. However, nowadays we can experience the beauty not only with art, but also with every product (fashion, videogames, cars, technological products). So we can query if the realm of aesthetics should hold also everyday products and how this could transform the traditional aesthetic categories.This essay aim to answer these questions. It aim furthermore to sketch the product’s theoretical foundations referring to national and international debate which have dealt with everyday aesthetics according to different point of view.
Transgenic Killer Commensal Bacteria as Mucosal Protectants
2001
As first line of defense against the majority of infections and primary site for their transmission, mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity and genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and respiratory tracts represent the most suitable sites to deliver protective agents for the prevention of infectious diseases. Mucosal protection is important not only for life threatening diseases but also for opportunistic infections which currently represent a serious burden in terms of morbidity, mortality, and cost of cures. Candida albicans is among the most prevalent causes of mucosal infections not only in immuno- compromised patients, such as HIV-infected subjects who are frequently affected by oral and esoph…
Mobile genetic element proliferation and gene inactivation impact over the genome structure and metabolic capabilities of Sodalis glossinidius, the s…
2010
Abstract Background Genome reduction is a common evolutionary process in symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria. This process has been extensively characterized in bacterial endosymbionts of insects, where primary mutualistic bacteria represent the most extreme cases of genome reduction consequence of a massive process of gene inactivation and loss during their evolution from free-living ancestors. Sodalis glossinidius, the secondary endosymbiont of tsetse flies, contains one of the few complete genomes of bacteria at the very beginning of the symbiotic association, allowing to evaluate the relative impact of mobile genetic element proliferation and gene inactivation over the structure and funct…
The Impacts of LBOs on the Performance of Acquired Firms: The French Case
2002
This paper investigates the financial characteristics and changes in performance of French companies involved in a leveraged buy-out. The empirical study covers a sample of 161 MBOs in France from 1988 to 1994. The acquired firms outperform their counterparts in the same sector of activity before and after the buy-out. However, unlike findings concerning LBOs in the USA and the UK, the performance of French firms falls after the operation is completed. This downturn in performance seems to be less detrimental to former subsidiaries of groups than to former family businesses.
Developments in the evolutionary theory of social interactions
2016
Altruistic behaviour, which benefits others but harms the actor, can evolve when copies of the underlying genes are transmitted to future generations by related beneficiaries. While we know that the mechanism of ‘kin selection’ answers to how altruism can evolve, the answers to why and when it can evolve are still obscure. The first aim of this thesis is to shed light to the evolution of altruism by identifying factors that facilitate or promote it. I find that the conditions under which altruism can evolve follow surprisingly simple principles that are independent of the taxon-specific traits such as fecundity. Further, by analysing the unique aspects of haplodiploid sex determination syst…
Coordination mechanisms and parent-subsidiary relationships in volatile environments: a theoretical approach
2015
Este trabajo es una reflexión sobre cómo puede influir la volatilidad del entorno local de una filial sobre los mecanismos de coordinación que estructuran las relaciones matriz-filial: centralización, formalización y socialización, en presencia de algunos factores de contingencia tales como el enfoque estratégico de la multinacional, el país de origen, la complejidad, el tamaño y la edad. De igual manera se emplea la tipología sobre las relaciones matriz-filial de Ghoshal y Nohria (1989) para valorar su aplicabilidad en entornos volátiles. A partir de los razonamientos realizados se plantean algunas proposiciones y se presenta como principal conclusión que, en entornos volátiles, las relaci…
