Multilayer Network Analysis: The Identification of Key Actors in a Sicilian Mafia Operation
2021
Recently, Social Network Analysis studies have led to an improvement and to a generalization of existing tools to networks with multiple subsystems and layers of connectivity. These kind of networks are usually called multilayer networks. Multilayer networks in which each layer shares at least one node with some other layer in the network are called multiplex networks. Being a multiplex network does not require all nodes to exist on every layer. In this paper, we built a criminal multiplex network which concerns an anti-mafia operation called “Montagna” and it is based on the examination of a pre-trial detention order issued on March 14, 2007 by the judge for preliminary investigations of t…
Observing – Treating – Classifying: On the Educational Practice of Human Differentiation
2016
Abstract Sociological research often states the reproductive function of educational systems. Thus, students are differentiated according to their cultural capital and their social background. One central dimension of the selection process is the grading performed by teachers. The paper outlines a conceptional framework of dealing with this kind of human differentiation sociologically. It therefore gives insight into the prerequisites provided by the school administration and into the empirical organization of grading – from classroom assessment to teacher meetings where final decisions are taken. Two forms of objectifying students’ performances are presented: a social as well as a numerica…
Alternativas en la investigación de los aspectos sociales del desarrollo cognitivo
2001
The terms “social” and “cultural” are ambiguous and can be used with different meanings. This paper tries to clarify the prevailing conceptions of the social factors that intervene in cognitive development, as found in developmental psychology. These conceptions are grouped into five main approaches, based on their theoretical commitments and the corresponding methodological strategies: 1) some theories treat the social world as an object of knowledge; 2) other theories see social life as consisting in a collection of symbolic interactions; 3) some approaches tend to consider socio-cultural variables as constituting an environment that influences individual subjects; 4) still other approach…
Fuentes teóricas de la Psicología Social Comunitaria de base emancipadora
2021
Toda disciplina científica que pretenda formar una concepción integrada de la realidad, y por consiguiente, del objeto de estudio que aborda, debe nutrirse de propuestas teóricas y epistemológicas diversas. En el presente artículo se pretende lograr un acercamiento a algunas de las principales corrientes y lógicas de pensamiento: la Filosofía Marxista, el Constructivismo, la Educación Popular, la Escuela Histórico-Cultural y la Teoría de la Liberación, mismas que sostienen el estudio y la comprensión de los procesos que son abordados por la Psicología Social Comunitaria, desde una perspectiva emancipatoria Any scientific discipline that seeks to form an integrated conception of reality, and…
Searching for the truth about schizophrenia requires the application of similarly high standards of proof to biological and social risk factors
2013
In their provocative paper, Bentall and Varese (2012) criticize our review on child abuse and schizophrenia (Sideli, Mule, La Barbera, & Murray, 2012) and suggest that we have a biological bias whi...
Educación y equidad en la primera infancia : el caso de las aulas de 2 años en los centros públicos de la Comunidad Valenciana
2022
En este trabajo analizamos la evolución de la provisión de educación y atención de la primera infancia (EAPI) en el primer ciclo de la Educación Infantil en el contexto de la Comunidad Valenciana, con particular atención al caso de la implantación de las aulas de 2 años en centros públicos. Durante las últimas dos legislaturas, la Comunidad Valenciana ha pasado de estar en la vanguardia del fomento y desarrollo del modelo de oferta privada a ser de las regiones pioneras en el desarrollo de las aulas de 2 años en la enseñanza pública. Enmarcamos estos cambios en el contexto español, y discutimos su alcance para la equidad del sistema educativo en esta etapa desde el enfoque de los derechos h…
Promoting neoliberal ideology in Finnish rural community development : the creation of new moral actors
2019
Today’s political ambitions are based on the neoliberal aspiration to diminish the state’s role and responsibilities, and to transfer those responsibilities to local communities and individuals in ways that idealise those communities, promising to ‘give power to the people’. Instead of highlighting individualism, neoliberalism now celebrates communities and participation. This article deals with the effects of this ideology with regard to Finnish rural policy objectives. Drawing on Finnish village action programmes as data, we argue that these ideological views aim to transform individuals and create new moral actors. Our research indicates that Finland’s rural policy objectives invoke acto…
Thomas Hobbes on fear,mimesis,aisthesisand politics
2011
Hobbes's theory of fear has two major implications for his political theory. One implication is how men's mutual fear is the source of a commonwealth by institution. The second implication is that sovereign power is the source of fear, and that sovereign power also uses that fear to govern people. These two implications have not been analyzed fully in past studies. In a way, a sovereign captures mutual fear reigning in a multitude and transforming it into a political tool designed for government of the subjects. Possessing the right and power to cause death, a sovereign takes the place of God on earth. A sovereign has certain expectations of citizens: they should obey and honour the soverei…
The Indeterminacy of Precedent : Negotiating the Admissibility of Victim Participant Testimony before the International Criminal Court
2021
Abstract The icc represents a legal laboratory that is still consolidating itself, with multiple unclarities in evidence and procedural law requiring resolution through jurisprudence. Our paper draws on interaction analysis to unpack this process, focusing on the jurisprudential construction of ‘dual status’ victim participant testimony. To elucidate how this evidentiary/procedural element is locally negotiated, we examine an excerpt from the Ongwen hearing transcripts, in which the defense objects against the testimony by a dual status witness called by the victim participants’ legal representative. The analysis traces how the defense counsel’s objection is anchored in a trajectory of prio…
On "Explicandum" versus "Explicatum"
2011
The aim of this paper is twofold. First of all I want to present some old ideas revisited in the light of some of the many interesting new developments occurred in the course of these last ten years in the field of the foundations of fuzziness. Secondly I desire to present a tentative general framework in which it is possible to compare different attitudes and different approaches to the clarification of the conceptual problems arising from fuzziness and soft computing. In the paper, then, I shall use some names as banners to indicate a (crucial) problem (i.e., Carnap’s problem, von Neumann’s problem, Galileian science, Aristotelian science and so on). As it will be clear by reading the pap…
