La ineptitud del digital academic: precariedad y salud en el mun-do universitario.
No full textInspirado por el trabajo de Deborah Lupton, Inger Mewburn y Pat Thomson, The Digi-tal Academic: Critical Perspectives on Digital Technologies in Higher Education (2017), este artículo examina el yo digital académico contemporáneo. Más allá de la utilidad que pueden tener en cuanto a la interacción, plataformas digitales como Academia.edu, Linkedin, Google Scholar, etc. transforman al académico o académica en un sujeto digital cuyo rendimiento se controla constantemente hasta convertirlo en prisionero de una creciente dataveillance, una vigilancia a través de los datos. En este contexto, analizamos el impacto de los mencionados procesos de monitorización continua del rendimiento y la productividad sobre las condiciones de vida y trabajo de los profesionales universitarios contemporáneos, en un momento en el que las tensiones, los conflictos y el malestar que habitan la universidad neoliberal parecen volverse cada vez más incapacitantes
Entrepreneurial universities and strategy: the case of the University of Bari
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate why entrepreneurial universities choose a particular business strategy focussing on diversification and multi-nationalisation, and the role of intellectual capital (IC) in supporting such strategies. Design/methodology/approach: The research question is answered through an exploratory case study of the University of Bari, Italy. Data were collected from strategic plans, annual reports, national evaluation reports and semi-structured interviews with the university’s board members and analysed using Secundo et al.’s (2016) collective intelligence framework. Findings: The authors show how contingency factors, such as economic and historical reasons, justify both the diversification and internationalisation strategies, and how they both rely on IC. Practical implications: The results of this study can be used by managers to support the development of entrepreneurial university strategies. Originality/value: The paper is novel because it provides theoretical justification to strategy development in a university setting. Additionally, the findings contribute to the fourth stage of IC research by showing how IC can be used to support diversification and internationalisation in a university and support third mission goals. Finally, the paper provides an empirical application of the Secundo et al.’s (2016) model for understanding IC in universities
Conceptual word order principles and Mandarin Chinese grammar
No full textResearch on iconicity and word order in Mandarin Chinese (henceforth MC) investigates the correlation between the sequence of linguistic elements in the sentence and the temporal, spatial, and causal characteristics of the events they describe. Such correlations are captured through a number of organizational principles, generally referred to in the literature as conceptual or cognitive word order principles. Among the most significant principles are the principle of temporal sequence, the principle of temporal scope and that of whole-before-part. Conceptual principles are of great interest for several reasons: first, they exhibit an iconic nature and show how and to what extent MC word order (henceforth WO) mirrors both universal and culture-specific conceptualizations of space, time and cause-effect logical relations. As such, they are easy to understand and remember, thus providing interesting applications to MC language instruction. Moreover, according to Tai (1985, 1989, 1993), Ho (1993), Hu (1995) and Loar (2011) among others, such principles bear great explanatory power in that they underlie several seemingly unrelated syntactic patterns and constructions. This chapter provides an introduction to organizational principles underlying MC word order, with a specific focus on conceptual (or cognitive) principles, such as the Principle of Temporal Sequence (PTS) and that of Whole-Before- Part (WBP). Specifically, it presents (i) the theoretical approach they are grounded in, (ii) their potential in language description, as compared to grammatical rules, and (iii) their applications to language acquisition and discourse analysis. These principles are shown to operate both at the micro-levels of phrase and clause and at higher levels of discourse and text. The discussion avails itself of natural language in use; unless otherwise specified, all examples are drawn from corpora, such as the PKU corpus of Modern Mandarin Chinese, Peking University or Ho’s corpus of spontaneous spoken texts (Ho 1993: 14-6)

Altruità del bene e applicabilità della disciplina sull'accessione
No full textNel correggere un più recente orientamento giurisprudenziale propenso a considerare applicabile la disciplina in materia di comunione di beni per l’attribuzione della proprietà dell’edificio realizzato da uno solo dei comproprietari sul fondo comune, le Sezioni Unite della Suprema Corte hanno ripreso e precisato un originario e più condivisibile orientamento che individua esclusivamente nella disciplina sull’accessione il plesso normativo di riferimento per le vicende attributive. Il ragionamento che conduce la Corte ad una soluzione del tutto condivisibile, è compromesso da una scelta interpretativa non condivisibile che ruota attorno alla negazione della condizione di terzo al comproprietario rispetto alla comunione di cui questi sia parte. Una diversa opzione ermeneutica disponibile a qualificare senza forzature il singolo comproprietario come «altro» rispetto alla comunità dei condomini appare più convincente
Increasing gaps in health inequalities related to non-communicable diseases in South Australia; implications towards behavioural risk factor surveillance systems to provide evidence for action
No full textAlthough Australia is a country cited as having generally low health inequalities among different socioeconomic groups, inequalities have persisted. The aim of this analysis was to highlight how inequalities have evolved over a 13 years period in South Australia (SA)
Public Space and Civic Community in the Ancient Near East: Free Access Datasets
No full textThe present document is a deliverable of the COMPUS project (Marie Skłodowska‐Curie IF‐2015‐GA703187), funded by the European Commission Research Executive Agency (REA). The COMPUS project studied the use of public space of the ancient Near Eastern cities using 13th‐century Ugarit as the main case‐study. Users can download three sets of data generated in the framework of the project: 1. Reconstruction of the Street Network of Ugarit (shapefiles); 2. Spatial Network Analysis Graphs (to be read into DepthmapX); 3. Urban Network Analysis Graphs (shapefiles).
