No full textQuali sono le motivazioni profonde che spingono un marito, un amante, un compagno, una fidanzata a trasformarsi in stalker? E perché la vittima alle prime avvisaglie di aggressività non allontana da sé la persona che la minaccia ma gli resta accanto negando l’evidenza dei fatti? Cosa si fa per incoraggiare la vittima a rompere il silenzio e a denunciare l’abuso? Partendo da questi cruciali interrogativi il testo intende contribuire all’individuazione e analisi dei fattori che principalmente motivano la violenza, focalizzando la relazione triadica molestia–vittima–paura, il quadro di personalità e gli aspetti comportamentali di ciascun membro della coppia stalker–vittima che caratterizzano il fenomeno stalking. In particolare, la disamina della normativa in previsione del delitto di “Atti persecutori” integra e definisce più precisamente i reali bisogni della vittima e l’atteggiamento ossessivo dello stalker, affrontando la fattispecie di reato prevista dall’art. 612-bis c.p., e, segnatamente, le esigenze di tutela sociale che hanno portato alla sua introduzione, la struttura del reato attraverso un’analisi dell’autore di condotte criminose e degli eventi necessari per la integrazione del delitto, la giurisprudenza in materia, le misure adottabili contro l’autore del reato e le misure a sostegno delle vittime, con evidenziazione delle relative criticità
The Use of Learning Contract to Develop a Student-Centered Learning, Reflection, and Participation in an Italian Academic Classroom
No full textCostruire percorsi di faculty development
No full textIl volume propone una lettura critico-riflessiva della complessità dei processi trasformativi che coinvolgono l'intera comunità accademica per il miglioramento della qualità della didattica. La prospettiva è l'osservazione da vicino sia degli elementi strategici derivati da modelli e framework formativi, consolidati attraverso studi ed esperienze a caratura internazionale e messi in atto dal grande Ateneo generalista di Padova, sia degli approfondimenti metodologici della didattica centrata sull'apprendimento in prospettiva active learning
The Pedagogical Potential of The Face-It Portal: Learning From The Experiences of Faculty and Students
Full text linkThe paper discusses the integration of technology in education, particularly in the
context of engineering universities. It emphasizes the need for technology that aligns with pedagogical
intentions and addresses the challenges faced by professors. The research is conducted in the context of
a wider project, Face-it, which aims to develop a portal that supports teaching and learning by
facilitating a graphical representation of course content, providing resources, and collecting feedback
on learning. The research adopts an action research approach to investigate the portal's development
and implementation in engineering courses. In the first phase, a standardized language between
developers and users has been established by creating guidelines for describing course content and
learning outcomes. Also, a new taxonomy is being developed to categorize skills and index teaching-
learning resources; validating the taxonomy is part of the study as well. In the second phase, the study
involves exploring the pedagogical affordance of the portal through activity system reconstruction.
Data is collected through interviews and a survey with professors in the first phase, and through
interviews with developers and professors, as well as surveys with students, in the second phase. The
study's results aim to contribute to the existing literature on technology-enhanced learning in
engineering education and guide future research directions for the Face-it project
Biogas to advanced biofuels: Techno-economic analysis of one-step dimethyl ether synthesis
No full textBio-dimethyl ether (bio-DME) is a promising advanced biofuel for the disposal of conventional diesel fuel, which is one of the most relevant sources of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides in urban centres and is completely banned from some European cities. DME is produced in two ways: dehydration of methanol produced from syngas (indirect or two-step process) and direct synthesis from syngas (direct or one-step process). This work aims at studying, optimizing and economically and environmentally assessing a novel conceptual design to convert biogas into bio-DME. Contrarily to traditional DME processes, the synthesis from biogas strongly benefits from milder conditions due to the smaller plant size, rural context, and biological feedstock fluctuations, motivating an ex-novo techno-economic feasibility study and sensitivity analysis performed in Aspen HYSYS V11 suite. The proposed process layout allows converting 1045 kg/h of silomais-based biogas (67%v/v CH4 content) into 516 kg/h of bio-DME at ASTM D7901-14 standard specification for fuel purposes. Sensitivity analysis identifies reactor temperatures as important process variables and defines three key performance indicators as: (i) global yield of the process; (ii) DME versus methanol selectivity; (iii) and the thermal load for the downstream section. The last one is computed as the sum of reboiler and condenser duties normalized with respect to the DME massive flowrate, and the study provides 1.05 kWh/kgDME as downstream section global specific duty. The process provides an innovative way to face the EU RED II challenge due to a 49.4 wt.% bio-DME yield and also thanks to a competitive 9.5 yr of payback period
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Interpretations. Market, Work, Training
No full textWhat of the labour market in the era of Brexit and in the international arena of the Trump presidency? Naturally, there are various perspectives, but forms of emotive or propagandist rhetoric threaten to hold sway here. Above all, Guidance Towards the Labour Market means recognising the complexities of geopolitical change within our information-sharing and collaborative networks, as well as the various and contrasting interpretations that arise.
The current decline of the European Union - of which the UK public referendum result is symptomatic - and the “America first” slogan, now a distinguishing feature of the current US government, are only two of the multiple forces interacting and defining pervasive transformations in economic, labour and educational policy.
Conflicting views abound. Take, for example, the challenge of agreeing on multilateral interventions to address the issue of immigration. Or the relationships between market, work and training in light of Europe’s infringement procedures for excessive debt, which affected Greece so drastically, and the lack of any formal rebuke by EU authorities for Germany’s excessive trade surplus
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
