Gender segregation in the employment of higher education graduates
2014
This article examines the employment and placement in the working life of Finnish higher education graduates (i.e. graduates from universities and polytechnics), focusing on gender equality. It reports a study on gender segregation in higher education and working life, considered in relation to Nordic gender equality policies. The data were gathered via a questionnaire administered to graduates in business and administration (n = 1067) and in technology (n = 1087), three years after their graduation. The results showed that men were able to secure permanent and full-time employment more often than women, and men achieved better correspondence between their degree and their employment. Howev…
Vegetation dynamics on abandoned terraces of Sicily: the course and driving forces of succession
2007
In Mediterranean Europe, terrace landscapes can be found where 1) the orography is characterized by hills or mountains, 2) there is a high amount of stone outcrops and 3) the human need for agricultural production was quite high till the recent past. During the last century, many of these landscapes have been abandoned, due to their unsuitability for mechanized, intensive agriculture and due to the general land abandonment trend which arised in large parts of Europe. Since with land abandonment start secondary succession processes, the plant and animal communities linked to agroecosystems are replaced by other species which find their habitat in the developing succession stages. This proces…
Ricerche sul testamentum per aes et libram, I. Il ruolo del familiae emptor (con particolare riguardo al formulario del testamento librale)
2011
Among the problems long debated by the scholars of the testament called per aes et libram, the most interesting was the one concerning the original character of the mancipio accipiens-familiae emptor. The speech is based on a close anaysis of the principal sources, that describe two periods in testamentum per aes et libram evolution’s (especially, Gai 2.102-108, PT. 2.10.1), but it also concern – more generally – the analysis of well-know passages (see, in particular, Tit. Ulp. 20.2-9; Gell., Noct. Att., 15.27.3; I. 2.10.1) about the treatment of genera testamentorum recognized by ius civile (testaments called calatis comitiis, in procinctu and per aes et libram of classical period). Furthe…
Osservazioni su Gai 2.108
2008
L’indagine muove da un luogo tratto dalle Institutiones di Gaio, Gai 2.108, nel quale si attesta, da un lato, la capacità a fungere da testimoni, nel testamento librale, dei soggetti legati all’erede o al legatario da vincoli di adgnatio, nonché di questi ultimi (ipse quoque heres aut legatarius iure adhibeantur), dall’altro la non opportunità di impiegare come testimoni l’erede, quique in eius potestate est cuiusve is in potestate erit ed è volta ad accertare se sul punto sussistesse un dissidio fra i prudentes, di cui costituirebbe indizio la cautela con cui Gaio espone la questione. Muovendo da tale ipotesi, ci si interroga sia sulle ragioni per le quali, inizialmente, si ammetteva che i…
The (im)possible success of disadvantaged students. Reflections on education, migration and social change
2019
The paper focuses on the ?unexpected pathways? of successful students with an immigrant background: these biographical routes, that seems socially impossible, raise theoretical issues around the individual-society, actor-structure relationship. Disadvantaged students who succeed represent a sociological challenge in the attempt to understand atypical situations and to identify the institutional processes and the structural opportunities that facilitate them, reducing ethnic inequalities in education. This framework is the starting point of the Su.Per. project (Success in educational pathways of students with immigrant background), based on the collection of written autobiographies of 65 imm…
Llatí i consciència política a la Catalunya setcentista
2014
Resum: El propòsit d’aquest article és palesar que la presència del llatí al segle XVIII a Catalunya no es redueix a edicions escolars, documents jurídics, tractats d’apologètica catòlica i escrits de devoció i pietat. La llengua llatina serveix també per difondre idees i postulats polítics al voltant d’esdeveniments del moment. En aquestes pàgines ens centrem en una sèrie de textos en llatí que han estat menystinguts o simplement ignorats per historiadors i filòlegs per raons lingüístiques i estètiques. Objecte de la nostra anàlisi són, sobretot, els escrits que descriuen els dos setges que Barcelona va patir la tardor del 1705 i la primavera de l’any següent. Particular atenció mereixerà …
Configurational theory in traditional manufacturing industries: a new model of high-performing small and medium-sized enterprises
2020
The goal of this study is to provide a model of high-performing small and medium-sized companies to address the new environmental challenges in traditional manufacturing industries. Adopting a configurational logic and following an inductive approach based on four high-performing firms, this paper provides new empirical evidence on how the steps followed by these firms are adjusted to the high-performance models prescribed by the literature. In doing so, it also offers a dynamic view of the interrelationships between the strategy and the new conditions of the environment. At a practitioner level, the paper illustrates which recipes are more appropriate to prescribe recommendations for a mor…

Applying Student Development Theories: Enhancing International Student Academic Success and Integration
2019
Student development theories (SDT) focus on the growth and change occurring in students while attending higher education. In this article, we propose that the application of student development theories supports holistic development in international students and helps us understand international students’ academic success and integration. We outline a combination of student development models, derived from SDT, and interact them with concepts from international student mobility and migration (ISM). These models, when applied to student services, may assist higher education institutions (HEIs) in designing student services for international students enhancing academic success and integration.
