Jet fragmentation transverse momentum distributions in pp and p-Pb collisions at √s, √sNN = 5.02 TeV
2021
Jet fragmentation transverse momentum (jT) distributions are measured in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed with the ALICE tracking detectors and electromagnetic calorimeter using the anti-kT algorithm with resolution parameter R = 0.4 in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 0.25. The jT values are calculated for charged particles inside a fixed cone with a radius R = 0.4 around the reconstructed jet axis. The measured jT distributions are compared with a variety of parton-shower models. Herwig and Pythia 8 based models describe the data well for the higher jT region, while they underestimate the low…
The trouble with vulnerability. Narrating ageing during the COVID-19 pandemic
2023
In this paper, we have used the exceptional circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic as a window for investigating the ambivalent, stereotypical and often-incongruent portrayals of exceptional vulnerability and resilient self-management that define the self-constructions available for older adults. From the onset of the pandemic, older adults were publicly and homogenously presented as a biomedically vulnerable population, and the implementation of restrictive measures also raised concerns over their psychosocial vulnerability and wellbeing. Meanwhile, the key political responses to the pandemic in most affluent countries aligned with the dominant paradigms of successful and active ag…
Resilienza ed inclusione
2017
Con la ricerca, realizzata tra settembre 2014 e giugno 2015, si sono indagate dal punto di vista quantitativo e qualitativo le implicazioni della resilienza nel successo scolastico. Con 42 docenti e 226 alunni delle classi quinte di scuola primaria di Alcamo e di Palermo sono state realizzate delle pratiche didattiche inclusive. A partire dalla teoria di Kumpfer, sono state strutturare delle attività didattiche che favoriscono lo sviluppo della capacità di resilienza. In un primo momento sono stati somministrati il test RPQ di Laudadio, Perez e Mazzocchetti ed il test MESI di Moè, Pazzaglia e Friso per la valutazione della resilienza e delle motivazioni professionali dei docenti; in un seco…
Tree species influences diversity of ground-dwelling insects in afforested fields
2015
Abstract Impaired natural ecosystems, such as agricultural lands, are restored toward original or other target stage. Because the long agricultural history has changed the physical, chemical and biological features of the soil, afforested fields can harbor novel species assemblages and interactions. Our overall aim was to quantify the diversity of ground beetles and ants in early successional afforested fields. In a large scale field experiment, we compared plots that had been afforested 25 years ago by planting monocultures of birch, pine or spruce trees. A total of 4080 carabid individuals representing 41 species, and 131,933 ant individuals representing 15 species were recorded. Both the…
Dynamics of soil organic matter pools after agricultural abandonment
2014
Changes of land use from croplands to natural vegetation usually increase Carbon (C) stocks in soil. However, the contribution of old and new C to various pools still is not clearly analyzed.We measured the 13C signature of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools after vegetation change from vineyard (C3) to grassland (C4) under Mediterranean climate to assess the changes of old and new C in total SOC, microbial biomass (MB), dissolved organic C (DOC), and CO2 efflux from soil. Development of the perennial grass Hyparrhenia hirta (C4) on vineyard abandoned for 15 or 35 years ago increased C stocks for 13% and 16%, respectively (in the upper 15 cm). This increase was linked to the incorporation of n…
Tutoraggio didattico tra pari a distanza: una ricerca-intervento svolta con gli studenti universitari
2021
Nell’a. a. 2020-21 è stata svolta una ricerca-intervento sul peer tutoring in ambito universitario, ipotizzato come strumento efficace per ridurre alcuni effetti negativi che la DAD, imposta dalla pandemia da covid-19, aveva provocato durante l’a. a. 2019-20 tra gli studenti iscritti al primo anno del corso di laurea triennale in Scienze dell’Educazione dell’Università di Palermo. 17 studentesse e 2 studenti del secondo anno di questo corso di studi, che avevano completato gli esami dell’anno precedente, dopo aver partecipato tra febbraio e marzo ad una specifica attività formativa, da marzo a giugno 2021 hanno aiutato, ancora in modalità a distanza, 33 studentesse e 2 studenti – loro colle…
Autosabotaggio e procrastinazione: strategie di prevenzione del sentire mafioso
2017
Nell’analisi della dispersione scolastica il fenomeno della procrastination è stato spesso sottovalutato. La nostra ricerca ha correlato i processi di selfhandicapping con quelli connessi all’abbandono del percorso di studio. La procrastination è stata studiata come processo di co-stante rinvio degli impegni scolastici e delle occasioni di recupero. Lo studio è stato condotto su di un gruppo di 956 studenti delle scuole superiori, distin-guendo due diverse aree: quella delle strategie di studio e di coping nella gestione delle prove scolastiche; quella delle relazioni sociali e delle priorità in esse. Queste variabili sono state correlate con il locus of control e con le strategie di self e…
Nurturing the Interpreneur
2007
Few topics in the family business literature have been studied more than management and ownership succession. In today’s competitive global economy, businesses find that innovation, growth and other entrepreneurial behaviors are necessary to survive and prosper. Ernesto Poza (1988) proposed a model for developing entrepreneurial orientations and actions in family business successors, labeling those successors interpreneurs. This study reports the results of interviews with five second-generation company owners and determines how well their experiences match the precepts of Poza’s model. Analyses find that the CEOs behaved entrepreneurially post-transition, but with few examples of conscious…
