La creación operística valenciana en la segunda mitad del siglo XX: Maror y El triomf de Tirant
2014
El tema de esta investigación es el estudio de la creación operística valenciana en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, realizando un estudio pormenorizado, del papel, y la presencia de la ópera en Valencia dentro de este periodo. Teniendo en cuenta que durante el franquismo, la ópera en Valencia sufrió un descenso importante, en cuanto a las representaciones, comparada con los años anteriores de épocas doradas, nos apoyamos en el papel de la Asociación Valenciana de Amigos de la Ópera, música 92 y la crítica valenciana, para analizar el esfuerzo de mantener viva la ópera sin haber en Valencia un Teatro específico para tal fin, atenuando tal carencia las representaciones en versión de concierto …
Self-care ability of older people living in urban areas of northwestern iran
2018
Background: Self-care ability was considered as a mechanism to improve the quality of life and reducing the high costs of medical services for elder people. Iran is experiencing increased elder people and healthy aging is one of the challenges. This study aimed to investigate self-care ability of elder people in Shahid Chamran and Dr. Shadpour health complexes, Tabriz- Iran. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study done in 2015. “The Self-care Ability Scale for the Elderly (SASE)” valid and reliable questionnaire (Persian version) was used for data collection. Totally, 220 samples were selected using G-Power 3.1.5 software. Sampling was conducted through systematic random method. Data were…
Il ruolo delle elezioni nei regimi non democratici iraniano e russo. Osservazioni a margine delle elezioni politiche iraniane del 2020
2020
La ricerca si propone l’obiettivo di verificare le caratteristiche dell’esperienza iraniana e russa all’interno della cornice dell’electoral authoritarianism, al fine di analizzare il ruolo delle elezioni e delle opposizioni, reali e apparenti, all’interno di questi due ordinamenti. Si metterà in evidenza come, seppure con strumenti diversi, si operi un controllo sulle opposizioni, piuttosto che escluderne del tutto l’esistenza, in modo da garantire un pluralismo di facciata. Within the framework of the electoral authoritarianism, the aim of the paper is to analyze the role of elections and opposition parties, systemic and non systemic, in Iran and Russia, exposing how both countries, albei…
I due volti dell'America nelle novelle di Luigi Pirandello
2018
Di fronte al fenomeno emigratorio che ha condotto verso le Americhe migliaia di Italiani, gli intellettuali si sono divisi tra posizioni contrastanti alle quali ha fatto eco, in ambito letterario, un atteggiamento altrettanto contraddittorio. L’America, e in particolar modo gli Stati Uniti, incarnava, nel momento della giovanissima Italia liberale, la modernità compiuta e realizzata che faceva da contraltare ad un’Europa ancorata alla storia, alle tradizioni e ai valori culturali. Fra gli scrittori che sentirono il bisogno di raccontare questo macro-fenomeno sociale è Luigi Pirandello che, nelle sue novelle, afronta il tema da due punti di vista differenti scanditi cronologicamente sulla ba…
Insight into the Evolving Role of PCSK9
2022
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is the last discovered member of the family of proprotein convertases (PCs), mainly synthetized in hepatic cells. This serine protease plays a pivotal role in the reduction of the number of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs) on the surface of hepatocytes, which leads to an increase in the level of cholesterol in the blood. This mechanism and the fact that gain of function (GOF) mutations in PCSK9 are responsible for causing familial hypercholesterolemia whereas loss-of-function (LOF) mutations are associated with hypocholesterolemia, prompted the invention of drugs that block PCSK9 action. The high efficiency of PCSK9 inhibitors (…
Presentation of Intercultural Competence in English Language Textbooks : The Case of a Private Language School in Iran
2016
As the objective of learning a foreign language is now defined in terms of intercultural competence, all aspects of an English as a foreign language (EFL) program are expected to be geared towards cultivating interculturality. The issue is specifically significant in the Iranian context, because of the indeterminate status of English language in the country, and also the growing need of intercultural competence for Iranians. The present study investigated to what extent the learning tasks in textbooks for adult courses in a private language institute aimed at increasing learners’ intercultural competence, and what dimensions of intercultural competence they addressed. The methodology center…
NEL SEGNO DELL’ÀNCORA La contea di Modica nel dominio degli Enriquéz almiranti di Castiglia
2012
Il saggio muove dall’analisi dei processi sociali, culturali, politici che segnarono l’avvio della stagione moderna nella contea di Modica. Recuperando la centralità degli attori del dominio, gli Enriquéz, ben oltre la sequenza cronologica dei fatti e dei passaggi ereditari, il testo delinea i contorni di un progetto dinastico che, nel suo divenire, contemplava la proiezione dei feudi nella rete mediterranea ed europea della monarchia spagnola. Non due storie parallele, quella della contea e quella dei conti, distratti e lontani, ma un’unica storia che, sullo sfondo di un’analisi di longue durée, sposta in avanti l’asse cronologico fissato dagli Atti del settimo centenario della contea cura…
Family and non-family businesses in iran:Coupling among innovation, internationalization and growth-expectation
2021
Gallo and Sveen, in 1991, specified problems of whether family businesses can take advantage of factors facilitating internationalization. We compare family and non-family businesses in innovation, export, and growth-expectation, and consider how outcomes are aligned, with a coupling that may be loose, with a synergy that benefits the business. This raises a further issue, is governance of a business affecting not only each of the outcomes but also their coupling. A representative sample of 530 Iranian businesses was surveyed in 2018 for Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Innovation, export, and growth-expectation are found to be lower in family businesses. Coupling between innovation and exp…
Groundwater sustainability: Developing a non-cooperative optimal management scenario in shared groundwater resources under water bankruptcy condition…
2021
Abstract Groundwater level drawdown changes the hydrological cycle and poses challenges such as land subsidence and reduction of the groundwater quality. In this study, a new approach using a simulation-optimization framework was developed for shared groundwater management under water bankruptcy conditions (where water demand is greater than the allowable discharge capacity of water resources). The novelty of this study lies in using bankruptcy rules and a game model to manage a bankrupted shared groundwater resource considering aquifer sustainability. Accordingly, groundwater flow in the aquifer was numerically simulated by a finite-differences model (MODFLOW). Then, the repeated performan…
Biological soil crusts determine soil properties and salt dynamics under arid climatic condition in Qara Qir, Iran
2020
Biological soil crusts are a thin layer within the soil system but strongly determine the infiltration, runoff and water and solute movement. Little is known about the role of biological soil crusts on soil solute dynamics in arid ecosystems and the objective of this paper is to determine in Qara Qir rangeland how biological soil crusts control the water and salt distribution along the soil profile. Rainfall simulation experiments were carried out at five locations, and measurements of the soil at 0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-50 and 50-80 cm depth were done before, 48 h and 21 days after the rainfall simulations. Soil particle size distribution, bulk density, water content, organic carbon an…
