Riproduzione e allevamento larvale di barbo, Barbus plebejus (Bonaparte, 1839)
Scopo della ricerca è stato quello di ottenere novellame autoctono da immettere in corsi d'acqua vocati nell'ambito della Provincia di Ravenna. Sono stati utilizzati 18 femmine e 28 maschi di barbo, che ha portato ad ottenere 820 g di uova con tasso di fecondazione del 57%. La schiusa si è attestata sul 90% e sono stati ottenuti complessivamente 45.000 giovanili
Religion, Race, and the Limit of Ethics: Historical Considerations
This article examines the study of Indigenous religions and ethics in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Over the past few decades, scholars have grappled with the colonial origins of religious studies. This essay focuses on the history of anthropological scholarship on Indigenous religions and the significance of this work for the growth of the academic study of religious and ethical systems. I first consider scholarship on Indigenous ethical systems produced by theologians and comparative religionists. I next consider how anthropological concepts of cultural relativity offered scholars of religion important tools to broaden and deepen understandings of Indigenous cultures. Finally, I address the limits of these anthropological tools. During this era, scholars increasingly argued that Indigenous cultural traditions were worthy of study; however, the prevailing racialized assumptions contributed to assessments of these ethical systems as inferior to Euro-American religio-ethical systems.This article is published as Dees, S.

Pitfalls in the Use of Ad valorem Equivalent Representations of the Trade Impacts of Domestic Policies
Numerical simulation exercises to analyze the impacts of potential changes in non-tariff policies commonly use ad valorem equivalent tariff treatment even though estimated impacts using explicit model representation and ad valorem equivalent treatments will differ. The difficulty for modellers is that the detail and subtlety embodied in a wide array of policy interventions means that some simplification is appealing, but no meaningful general propositions exist in the theoretical literature as to the sign or size of the differences in predicted effects. All that can seemingly be done is to investigate the differences case by case, but even here the findings are sensitive both to the particular form of model used as well as the model parameterization employed. As a result, there is relatively little in the literature that provides guidance as to how serious the pitfalls may be, and how misleading ad valorem tariff equivalent treatment is. Here I draw on three examples of numerical modelling where explicit representation of policy interventions are used. The picture that emerges is one of large quantitative and even qualitative differences in predicted impacts. These examples suggest that where interventions differ from a tariff, ad valorem representation should be undertaken in numerical trade modelling only with substantial caveats.
Trota fario (Salmo (trutta) trutta): incidenza dell’età dei riproduttori sulla qualità delle uova e sull’entità delle larve prodotte
E' stata valutata l’incidenza dell’età di riproduttori di trota fario sulla qualità delle uova e sull’entità di larve prodotte. Sono state analizzate le principali performance riproduttive di un gruppo di fattrici di taglia ≤ 37 cm (STG) e ≥ 45 cm (STV) stoccate presso un centro di ripopolamento dell’Appennino pesarese. I dati sono stati sottoposti ad analisi statistica. L’età delle femmine selezionate per la sperimentazione è risultata di 3-4+ nei soggetti STG e di 5-8+ nelle femmine STV. I risultati relativi alla riproduzione hanno evidenziato una migliore resa delle femmine giovani (STG) in termini di numero di uova emesse/100g di prodotto (1428 ±97 in STG, 719 ±58 in STV), di fecondità relativa (2777 ±410 in STG, 1305 ±400 in STV) e di percentuale di fecondazione (92,6 ±4,4 in STG, 79,4 ±7,3 in STV). Quanto rilevato infine ha determinato una maggiore produttività in termini di quantità di larve prodotte/kg peso vivo (2495 ±369 in STG, 974 ±298 in STV). Non sono emerse differenze significative tra i due gruppi in termini di numero di femmine che hanno deposto, di Indice Gonado-Somatico e di percentuale di schiusa. Le minori performance delle femmine più anziane evidenziano la necessità del rinnovo dello stock dei riproduttori

A general framework for correlating business process characteristics
Process discovery techniques make it possible to automatically derive process models from event data. However, often one is not only interested in discovering the control-flow but also in answering questions like What do the cases that are late have in common? , What characterizes the workers that skip this check activity? , and Do people work faster if they have more work? , etc. Such questions can be answered by combining process mining with classification (e.g., decision tree analysis). Several authors have proposed ad-hoc solutions for specific questions, e.g., there is work on predicting the remaining processing time and recommending activities to minimize particular risks. However, as shown in this paper, it is possible to unify these ideas and provide a general framework for deriving and correlating process characteristics. First, we show how the desired process characteristics can be derived and linked to events. Then, we show that we can derive the selected dependent characteristic from a set of independent characteristics for a selected set of events. This can be done for any process characteristic one can think of. The approach is highly generic and implemented as plug-in for the ProM framework. Its applicability is demonstrated by using it to answer to a wide range of questions put forward by the UWV (the Dutch Employee Insurance Agency)
