Il rapporto banca-impresa tra transaction banking e relationship banking: la ricerca condotta nella provincia di Caltanissetta.
2016
In questo capitolo saranno esposti i principali contributi teorici ed empirici della letteratura economico-finanziaria sul relationship banking e transaction banking utili alla lettura e interpretazione dei comportamenti aziendali adottati dalle banche nell’esercizio della complessa e articolata funzione creditizia. Infatti, il vario articolarsi della soft e hard information nell’economia e gestione della banca influenza significativamente la valutazione del merito di credito dell’impresa richiedente fondi, gli approcci strategico-organizzativi alle relazioni creditizie banca-impresa e, in ultima analisi, l’efficienza ed efficacia dell’intermediazione creditizia bancaria.
Violenza e violenze: nomina sunt...
2022
This contribution, in addition to identifying some stages of the process of recognition of Intimate Partner Violence, seeks to highlight the reasons for the existing hiatus between the social rejection of violence against women and its constant escalation. The recent historical reconstruction that will be proposed will take into consideration some developments of this phenomenon, in order to more fully outline its current directions.
Treatment of Traumatised Sexuality
2021
Based on therapeutic meetings with individuals who have experienced sexual violence and abuse, the challenge is how do we help these couples to establish sexual relationships on their own terms, without interference of defence or coping strategies they have used to protect themselves against the overwhelming experiences of violence or abuse in the past? This article will focus on therapeutic work with such couples and how to interact with them and support their efforts to establish satisfying sexual relationships, based on sexological experience as well as experience from work with traumatisation. The basis for our treatment is a modified version of William Masters and Virginia Johnson’s ap…
Discovery of novel trichomonacidals using LDA-driven QSAR models and bond-based bilinear indices as molecular descriptors
2008
Few years ago, the World Health Organization estimated the number of adults with trichomoniasis at 170 million worldwide, more than the combined numbers for gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia. To combat this sexually transmitted disease, Metronidazole (MTZ) has emerged, since 1959, as a powerful drug for the systematic treatment of infected patients. However, increasing resistance to MTZ, adverse effects associated to high-dose MTZ therapies and very expensive conventional technologies related to the development of new trichomonacidals necessitate novel computational methods that shorten the drug discovery pipeline. Therefore, bond-based bilinear indices, new 2-D bond-based TOMOCOMD-CARDD M…
An exploration of reciprocity between female athletes and their coach in elite junior swimming: a shared reality theory perspective
2021
Based on the proposition that the relationship between a coach and athlete is at its best when both parties contribute to enhancing its quality, the present study sought to investigate if Shared Reality Theory could provide new insights on the topic. Specifically, the purpose of the present study was to explore: (a) how a shared reality is established, or fails to be established, over the course of the sporting partnership between athletes and their coach; and (b) how the presence of a shared reality (or not) in the coach-athlete relationship is related to the experienced quality of the relationship between athletes and their coach, as recorded over time. Narrative inquiry, embedded within …
Generalised stage-discharge relationship for rectangular weirs
2018
Rectangular weirs, which are very common hydraulic structures used in irrigation channels as water measuring devices, can be used for measuring very small discharges as well as high flow rates. From the practical point of view the availability of a unique stage-discharge formula that can be applied for the different types of the rectangular weirs would be of great practical importance. At first, in this paper the Buckingham’s Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory are used to deduce the stage-discharge curve of different kinds of rectangular weirs such as slit and partially contracted ones. Then the proposed formula is calibrated using both the experimental data …
A new approach for deducing the stage-discharge relationship of triangular in plan sharp-crested weirs
2013
Abstract In this paper, the outflow process of a triangular in plan sharp-crested weir is studied using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. The new stage-discharge is theoretically deduced and its testing is carried out using measurements available in literature.
Occiput-spine relationship: shoulders are more important than head.
2017
BACKGROUND:To understand the role of fetal spine position in determining a fetal head position at the time of birth and modality of delivery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a multicenter prospective observational study. Fetal occiput and spine position were evaluated by intrapartum ultrasound. Eighty-six women were eligible for inclusion in the study. Occiput rotational movements and modality of delivery in relation to the fetal spine position were investigated. RESULTS: At the beginning of labor, fetal occiput was in a posterior position in 52.3% of cases and, in 81.5% of cases the spine was in an anterior transverse position. At birth, occiput and spine were both in an anterior position i…
Causal Inference in Geoscience and Remote Sensing From Observational Data
2020
Establishing causal relations between random variables from observational data is perhaps the most important challenge in today’s science. In remote sensing and geosciences, this is of special relevance to better understand the earth’s system and the complex interactions between the governing processes. In this paper, we focus on an observational causal inference, and thus, we try to estimate the correct direction of causation using a finite set of empirical data. In addition, we focus on the more complex bivariate scenario that requires strong assumptions and no conditional independence tests can be used. In particular, we explore the framework of (nondeterministic) additive noise models, …
Il silenzio come pratica di cura nella relazione educativa
2014
In un tempo, come quello in cui agiamo e viviamo, consegnato all’effimero e alla fugacità, il silenzio si riafferma come bisogno formativo e acquista un ruolo di primo piano all’interno del dialogo educativo, come una pratica di cura attraverso cui l’uomo contemporaneo possa contrastare la banalità della chiacchiera e di un’esistenza vissuta in modo inautentico. Se il Novecento pedagogico ha riscoperto il valore educativo del silenzio, oggi tale pratica viene riproposta non solo come atto di tacere, ma anche come apertura di un nuovo orizzonte di senso dentro cui accogliere l’altro, cioè ospitarlo. Vincendo la paura del vuoto, da sempre identificato col nulla, il silenzio non viene più inte…
