Airborne-laser-scanning-derived auxiliary information discriminating between broadleaf and conifer trees improves the accuracy of models for predicti…

2020

Managing forests for ecosystem services and biodiversity requires accurate and spatially explicit forest inventory data. A major objective of forest management inventories is to estimate the standing timber volume for certain forest areas. In order to improve the efficiency of an inventory, field based sample-plots can be statistically combined with remote sensing data. Such models usually incorporate auxiliary variables derived from canopy height models. The inclusion of forest type variables, which quantify broadleaf and conifer volume proportions, has been shown to further improve model performance. Currently, the most common way of quantifying broadleaf and conifer forest types is by ca…

Credit card incidents and control systems

2012

Abstract Credit and debit cards have spread and skyrocketed all around the world to become the most popular means of payments in many countries. Despite their enormous popularity, cards are not free of risk. Technology development and e-commerce have exponentially increased internal credit card incidents. This paper identifies and quantifies the different types of credit card fraud and puts into question the effectiveness of the role assigned to cardholders in its detection.

The charter of foreigners merchant ships in the expulsion of the Andalusia Moriscos

2009

El embarque de moriscos a bordo de navíos mercantes de origen extranjero constituye una faceta interesante en el estudio del proceso de expulsión andaluz. Debido a la escasa participación de las escuadras reales y la necesidad de llegar a acuerdos concretos con los que suministrar embarcaciones para el transporte de los moriscos, la Corona y sus representantes se verían obligados a llegar a diferentes compromisos con los cónsules de las naciones de extranjeros, y algunos mercaderes particulares, para garantizar unos traslados que, de otra manera, se hubieran retrasado en exceso complicando toda la operación. De este modo y con el paso de las semanas, acabaría por evidenciarse el peso especí…

Young Lads and Old Tars: Changing Age Structure of the Nordic Sailors, 1750s–1930s

2022

AbstractThis article analyzes the changing age structure of Swedish and Finnish sailors for almost 200 years. We show that the proportion of the youngest men increased during the age of sail (i.e., the older technology). The average age increased significantly during the early twentieth century as steam (i.e., the newer technology) replaced sail in Nordic shipping. Thus, a technological revolution did not displace the older workers, but rather diminished the demand for the younger ones. This study shows, however, that technological changes were not the only drivers of changes in the age structure of Nordic sailors. Institutional and societal changes also played an important role, though the…

CATALANI E VALENZANI A SCIACCA NEL TARDO MEDIOEVO: RELIGIOSITÀ E FONDAZIONI ASSISTENZIALI

2020

Tre dei sei ospedali medievali di Sciacca furono fondati da esponenti del ceto mercantile e nobiliare catalano e valenzano trapiantato in Sicilia. Questo dato permette di mostrare il ruolo svolto dalle famiglie iberiche a Sciacca. Attraverso lo studio dei testamenti, in cui oltre ai legati pro anima, veniva disposta la fondazione di chiese, monasteri e strutture assistenziali, il saggio ricostruisce le espressioni della sensibilità religiosa e devozionale di queste famiglie, soffermandosi, in particolar modo, sull’istituzione dei tre ospedali e sulle diverse forme di carità praticate. Three of the six medieval hospitals in Sciacca were founded by merchants and nobles, members of Catalan and…

Analisi dei rapporti tra finanza innovativa e distretti high-tech: il contributo delle banche locali nei distretti italiani

2011

Questo lavoro di ricerca si inserisce nell’ambito delle ricerche sui sistemi regionali di innovazione1 contrassegnati principalmente da due elementi: la dimensione sistemica dell’innovazione e la concentrazione di attività innovative su base territoriale. In particolare obiettivo principale di questo contributo è quello di approfondire il ruolo che la finanza innovativa può esercitare nei distretti tecnologici. Nel trattate questa tematica è stato seguito un percorso che può essere scomposto sostanzialmente in due parti. Nella prima parte è stata esposta una rassegna dei più recenti contributi sia italiani che stranieri con particolare riferimento ai due principali aspetti caratterizzanti u…

Trade apprenticeships, schooling and social differentiation in the merchant sector in fourteenth century Valencia

2020

El crecimiento económico de Valencia desde finales del siglo XIV implicó el cambio en la formación profesional y cultural de las élites mercantiles locales. La familia continuó siendo el ámbito de enseñanza escrituraria preferente dado que el objetivo último de esa formación era la transmisión hereditaria intergeneracional de la empresa. La formación abarcaba buena parte de la infancia y pubertad hasta que el joven pasaba a trabajar como contable o factor en el extranjero bajo las órdenes paternas. Este modelo de aprendizaje dependía de los vínculos que cohesionaban las redes de sociabilidad mercantil, compartía superficialmente los instrumentos formales de la contratación del aprendizaje a…

Le scelte strategiche e operative delle banche locali nelle regioni dei distretti tecnologici italiani

2011

Con questo lavoro si intende verificare se si sono manifestati dei cambiamenti associati alla crisi finanziaria globale nelle scelte operative, strategiche e attinenti la natura dell’offerta della particolare categoria di intermediario finanziario rappresentata dalle banche locali. Si cercherà di verificare se quest’ultima tipologia di intermediario, sfruttando i propri punti di forza connessi alla vocazione territoriale delle scelte strategiche incentrate sulla filosofia del relationship lending che pone come valore di riferimento il cliente e di conseguenza alla disponibilità di un portafoglio informativo sulle esigenze del cliente molto più ampio sia stata grado di offrire alla clientela…
