CoPrA : a tool for coding and measuring communication in teams
No full textThe analysis and assessment of team processes to inform facilitation for increased team effectiveness is a challenging task for organizations. Also, research has troubles to grasp the complexity of team effectiveness, which often results in treating team processes as a black box. This paper introduces a design artifact that is built upon the collaboration process analysis technique CoPrA. The technique strives to support the analysis of team processes by identifying behavior patterns, which crystalize as behavior patterns in the dynamic process of a team. The paper aims to contribute to behavioral research as it showcases a set of process metrics for the analysis of team communication. Furthermore, the paper aims to contribute to design-science research by providing an integrated tool for content analysis and process mining used primarily by researchers

Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Fabric of General Principles
No full textThis book moves from the circumstance whereby currently the obligation to provide fair and equitable treatment (FET) to foreign investments is included in the majority of international investment agreements and has proved to be the most invoked standard in investor-State arbitration. Hence, it is no overstatement to describe this standard as the basic norm of international investment law. Yet both its meaning and normative basis continue to be shrouded in ambiguity and, as a consequence, to inspire a considerable number of interpretations by legal writers. The book's precise aim is to unravel such ambiguity, arguing from the idea that FET has become part of the fabric of general international law, but has done so by means of a source somewhat neglected in legal doctrine. This being the category of general principles peculiar to a certain field of international law, i.e. those principles having their own foundations in the international legal order itself, but which, through the mediation of the judge, end up being shaped according to the features typical of a specific normative field. The book, as well as having a solid theoretical backdrop as its basis, offers a careful and critical analysis of pertinent case law, and will prove useful to both scholars and practitioners. Fulvio Maria Palombino is Professor of International Law at the Law Department of the University of Naples Federico II and a member of the Executive Board of the European Society of International Law. Specific to this book: • Explains the ICSID practice clearly and concisely • Useful in practical terms Excerpts from a review: 'Fair and Equitable Treatment and the Fabric of General Principles' is an original and well researched book, in which the author challenges a number of conventional wisdoms on FET.Among the strengths of the book one can mention the solid discussion of public international law principles relevant to FET and the interesting incursions into domestic law legal systems which play an important role in the understanding of FET components such as due process, legitimate expectations or proportionality. In particular the section on promises provides a convincing analysis of the issues that arise when the administration makes an assurance or representation to an investor. Against the backdrop of the examination of unilateral acts under public international law, Palombino's analysis sheds new light on what ought to be the proper scope of protection under the legitimate expectations doctrine in case of governmental promises, clarifying a number of points which have received insufficient attention by arbitral tribunals thus far. - Michele Potestà, Attorney with Lévy Kaufmann-Kohler, Geneva; Senior Researcher, Geneva Center for International Dispute Settlement (CIDS) book review in International and Comparative Law Quarterly, (2018)67(4), 1036-1037.

SSRI online : five-year experience on a bachelor degree offered in e-learning at the University of Milan (Italy)
No full textThis paper is aimed at presenting a review of the ‘SSRI online’ e-learning experience. Started in the academic year 2004/2005, the online bachelor degree in Computer Systems and Network Security is still the first online degree offered by the University of Milan and the unique degree centred on ICT Security available in Italy. At the moment, we are delivering the seventh edition of the degree and, after six years of experience with an audience of more than 300 students, we want to evaluate the project results, focusing our attention on the students experience: which results they have achieved, how much the degree has met their expectations, which placement opportunities they have achieved after the degree. In the following sections, first we briefly resume the main aspects of the SSRI online project, and then we show our evaluation results
The Four Engravings : between word and image
No full textThis essay is part of a volume which offers the first comprehensive study of the De Nola (Venice 1514), a hitherto underappreciated Latin text written by the Nolan humanist and physician Ambrogio Leone. Divided into three books and enriched by four engravings, De Nola is an extraordinary historical, chorographical and topographical treatise celebrating the city of Nola in the Kingdom of Naples. Its author was the Nolan physician and humanist Ambrogio Leone, who dedicated the work to Enrico Orsini count of Nola, while its publisher was Joannes Rubeus, or Giovanni Rosso from Vercelli. The volume would mark an important advance in European humanistic and antiquarian debates. Leone’s description of a seemingly minor urban centre in the peninsula is an innovative and ground-breaking work of Renaissance scholarship. Several decades after Biondo Flavio’s studies of Rome and Italy had appeared in print, De Nola marked a shift in antiquarian publications, and opened the way to a new approach to the description of cities. Its fame was enduring, reaching beyond the borders of the Italian peninsula to the main centres of Renaissance European culture. Despite its profound originality and its early and widespread circulation, De Nola has remained at the margins of Renaissance studies.
The chapter written by Fulvio Lenzo discusses the four engravings, which help to make Leone’s book an early sixteenth century masterpiece of humanist literature. His analysis of the engravings clarifies the important role played by Leone himself in planning and drawing the illustrations, and reduces the role of the Venetian painter and engraver Girolamo Mocetto to little more than an executor of Leone’s ideas.
Leone relied, at a first level, on a massive use of written sources relating to a wide range of disciplines. He appears as a reader (and certainly also an owner) of manuscripts and above all of printed editions, like those published by his friend Aldo and composed in Greek characters with the support of Grifo’s renewed Greek typeset; but also as a tireless ‘devourer’ of mathematical and geometrical treatises, like Luca Pacioli’s edition of Euclid. He certainly consulted (or even possibly possessed) illustrated books like the famous Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, or the 1511 edition of Ptolemy’s geographical work (edited by another émigré from the Kingdom of Naples, namely Bernardo Silvano of Eboli), or architectural treatises like Fra Giocondo’s edition of Vitruvius, all printing products which displayed an impressive iconic apparatus; but he also studied a deliberately aniconic book as Leon Battista Alberti’s De re aedificatoria, a real bestseller at the time, where mental images were created by the power of words. Ambrogio Leone considered his book not only a medium for the publication of his text, but also a valuable art object, in which renewed illustrations play a relevant role

A Simple Approximate Long-Memory Model of Realized Volatility
No full textThe paper proposes an additive cascade model of volatility components defined over different time periods. This volatility cascade leads to a simple AR-type model in the realized volatility with the feature of considering different volatility components realized over different time horizons and thus termed Heterogeneous Autoregressive model of Realized Volatility (HAR-RV). In spite of the simplicity of its structure and the absence of true long-memory properties, simulation results show that the HAR-RV model successfully achieves the purpose of reproducing the main empirical features of financial returns (long memory, fat tails, and self-similarity) in a very tractable and parsimonious way. Moreover, empirical results show remarkably good forecasting performance. Copyright The Author 2009. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.

Open source in Web-based applications : a case study on single sign-on
No full textBusiness and recreational activities on the global communication infrastructure are increasingly based on the use of remote resources and services, and on the interaction between different, remotely located parties. In such a context, Single Sign-On technologies simplify the log-on process allowing automatic access to secondary domains through a unique log-on operation to the primary domain. In this article, we evaluate different Single Sign-On implementations focusing on the central role of Open Source in the development of Web-based systems. We outline requirements for Single Sign-On systems and evaluate four existing Open Source implementations in terms of degree of fulfilment of those requirements. Finally we compare those Open Source systems with respect to some specific Open Source community patterns
