Handwriting readiness e abilità motorie: quale contributo nell’apprendimento della scrittura
No full textLo studio ha come obiettivi: (a) analizzare le caratteristiche grafo-motorie di bambini con sviluppo tipico e con sospetto Disturbo di coordinazione motoria di età prescolare e di I classe primaria b) individuare la relazione tra abilità motorie, grafo-motorie e scrittura a mano in bambini di I e II classe primaria seguiti longitudinalmente. Hanno partecipato 50 bambini di 5 anni anni e 39 bambini di I e di II classe primaria. Sono state proposte: una prova di Handwriting Readiness, il questionario DCDQ (Caravale e Baldi, 2014), le prove di velocità di scrittura (BVSCO-2, Tressoldi, Cornoldi e Re) e la copia di una frase in corsivo (DGM-P) per i bambini di I classe. I dati sono stati analizzati attraverso una serie di analisi correlazionali (Pearson) e di analisi di regressione semplice. I risultati mostrano una relazione significativa tra abilità motorie e scrittura a mano, sia rispetto a criteri di leggibilità che di velocità di scrittura

Cyber resilience in organisations and supply chains: from perceptions to actions
No full textPurpose – This empirical study investigates the direct and indirect effects on managers’ perceptions of cyber risks, the implementation of cyber resilience strategies and the perceived effectiveness of these strategies for supply chains. Cyber risks pose significant threats to organisations and supply chains. Yet they remain insufficiently addressed and managed.
Design/methodology/approach – Primary data were collected from a sample of Italian organisations using a survey. The structural equation modelling methodology was employed to empirically investigate cyber resilience strategies in supply chains.
Findings – Results indicate that effective cyber resilience is linked to awareness of the negative impacts of cyber risks, particularly supply chain disruptions. This awareness leads to the adoption of various cyber resilience strategies. According to managers’ perceptions, several strategies are identified in the study as the most effective in enhancing the cyber resilience supply chains. The findings offer insights for managers regarding the relationship between cyber risk perceptions, supply chain cyber resilience strategies and their effectiveness. These relationships are studied using the theory of perceived risk and the dynamic capabilities theory.
Originality/value – This study advances knowledge for academics and practitioners in the fields of supply chain resilience and supply chain risk management. It contributes to the development of a risk-based thinking model in organisations and supply chains by drawing upon a dual theoretical perspective

'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
La corrispondenza di Enea Silvio Piccolomini dal 1431 al 1454. La maturazione di un’esperienza fra politica e cultura
No full textLe lettere di Enea Silvio Piccolomini sono largamente note; allo stesso tempo, si riconosce senz’altro una sorta di “predilezione” da parte di Piccolomini per il genere epistolare. A questi richiami, tuttavia, ben raramente ha corrisposto un’attenzione diretta al carattere di questa fonte. Prendendo come punto di partenza l’edizione curata da R. Wolkan, il saggio cerca di offrire un primo riesame della corrispondenza del Piccolomini compresa fra il 1431 e il 1454, concentrando l’attenzione sui caratteri della sua produzione epistolare, sulla costruzione della rete dei corrispondenti, fino a considerare anche il rapporto fra le lettere familiari (le “Privatbriefe”) e le lettere pubbliche (gli “Amtliche Schreiben”). La scrittura epistolare del Piccolomini, da questo punto di vista, si rivela in particolare fortemente connessa alla maturazione della sua esperienza personale, in un rapporto assai stretto fra politica e cultura
