Empirical Verification of the Relationship Between Personality Traits and EFL Attainments
2023
Although the study of personality is one of the major themes in psychology, its role in the second language acquisition (SLA) process has not been unanimously acknowledged. The overall scarcity and obscurity of research outcomes can be attributed to methodological problems and lack of firm grounding in the vast field of personality theories. Moreover, it appears that personality may not exact an easily observable, direct effect on L2 behaviours and success. This paper is an attempt to broaden the understanding of the role of personality in the SLA field. Its main aim is to establish the predictive value of the personality dimensions (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to experience, Agreea…

Paths from socioemotional behavior in middle childhood to personality in middle adulthood.
2012
Continuity in individual differences from socioemotional behavior in middle childhood to personality characteristics in middle adulthood was examined on the assumption that they share certain temperament-related elements. Socioemotional characteristics were measured using teacher ratings at ages 8 (N = 369; 53% males) and 14 (95% of the initial sample). Personality was assessed at age 42 (63% of the initial sample; 50% males) using a shortened version of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI); the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP); and the Adult Temperament Questionnaire (ATQ). Three models were tested using structural equation modeling. The results confirmed paths (a) from behavioral …
Transcultural Adaptation and Theoretical Models of Validation of the Spanish Version of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index Version 6.2 (SCHFI v.6.2)
2021
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major and growing public health problem worldwide. Across the world, heart failure is associated with high mortality, high hospitalization rates, and poor quality of life. Self-care is defined as a naturalistic decision-making process involving the choice of behaviors that maintain physiologic stability, the response to symptoms when they occur, and the ability to follow the treatment regimen and control symptoms. One instrument used to measure self-care is the Self Care of Heart Failure Index. Aim: The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Self Care of Heart Failure Index v.6.2 (SCHFI v.6.2). Methodol…
LA TUTELA DEI CONTRATTI A TERMINE ILLEGITTIMI CON LA P.A.: SUL RISARCIMENTO DEL DANNO RESTA APERTO IL TORNEO TRA I TRIBUNALI DI MERITO.
2013
Premesso un breve excursus del variegato panorama giurisprudenziale sulla determinazione del danno risarcibile per l'illegittima apposizione del termine a contratti stipulati con la p.a., in mancanza della conversione del contratto a tempo indeterminato nel settore del pubblico impiego e di un criterio univoco di quantificazione del pregiudizio economico, la nota analizza criticamente la soluzione interpretativa fornita dalla sentenza in commento. Il giudice condanna la p.a. a risarcire una somma pari alle retribuzioni “future”, che sarebbero state percepite dalla scadenza del termine illegittimo fino al raggiungimento dell'età pensionabile delle ricorrenti, utilizzando criteri volti a dila…
Structured reporting of rectal cancer staging and restaging: A consensus proposal
2021
Background: Structured reporting (SR) in oncologic imaging is becoming necessary and has recently been recognized by major scientific societies. The aim of this study was to build MRI-based structured reports for rectal cancer (RC) staging and restaging in order to provide clinicians all critical tumor information. Materials and Methods: A panel of radiologist experts in abdominal imaging, called the members of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology, was established. The modified Delphi process was used to build the SR and to assess the level of agreement in all sections. The Cronbach’s alpha (Cα) correlation coefficient was used to assess the internal consistency of ea…
The Experimental Study of Heat Waste Conversion into Useful Electric Power
2009
This paper presents the practical results ofthe design solutions, executing and experimentaltesting of a prototype model of o thermoelectricgenerator, based on the conversion of residualthermical energy into electric power, by improving theSeebeck effect. To this purpose, high performancethermoelectric modules have been used, taken from therecent production of the American Corporation Hi-ZTechnology. The prototype thermoelectric generatorbuilt for a demonstrative purposes has got the lowefficiency category. The results taken from the testsand experimental measurements have showntheimportance of the constructive solution of materialsand technologies that have been used. These resultsdirect t…
Verb-Second and (micro)-variation in two Rhaeto-Romance varieties of Northern Italy.
2018
Rhaeto-Romance varieties are the only present-day Romance varieties which exhibit the Verb Second constraint (Benincà 1994, Poletto 2002, Salvi 2010). In this chapter we examine two properties typically ascribed to the Verb Second phenomenon, subject-finite verb inversion and restrictions on the co-occurrence of multiple constituents in the sentence-initial position, in two Rhaeto-Romance varieties spoken in South Tyrol (Province of Bolzano, Northern Italy). We demonstrate that both varieties behave like Verb-Second languages as far as both phenomena are concerned, but exhibit a specific Verb-Second system governed by the interplay between syntactic and discourse constraints which differs f…
Validação da versão em espanhol do inventário multidimensional do perfeccionismo em jovens futebolistas
2020
The Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (MIPS) is one sport specific measure of perfectionism developed on the basis of a combination of different multidimensional models. This study assesses the psychometrics of the MIPS in a Spanish sample of young footballers. Participants were 429 Spanish football players with ages ranging from 9 to 13 years. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that a two-dimensional model obtained adequate fit indices and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients showed acceptablelevels of internal reliability. The criterion and convergent validity of the Spanish MIPS analysed in young footballers was also confirmed via its association with measures of sport anxie…
Imagery and Religious Conversion. The Symbolic Function of Jonah 1:13
2018
Jonah 1:13 has a delaying function in the narrative, introducing a pause between Jonah’s demand to be thrown in the sea (1:12) and the event’s occurrence (1:15). Most commentators discuss only the events of 1:13 and their causes. In this article, I suggest an interpretation of Jonah 1:13 based on the imagery of the narrative. An analysis of the use of metaphors and symbols does not replace the message of the verse; such an analysis simply augments it with motives of the seamen’s conversion. Beside the narrative level, there is a hidden level suggesting a deeper understanding of the story where symbols and metaphors have a consolidating function. Distance, directions, and movement in Jonah 1…
