Religions, nationalités et discontinuités territoriales. Le cas roumain en 1992
No full textENG:cultural geography, identity, nationality, religion, Romania, territoryUne série de cartes inédites des 2 948 communes roumaines présente les principales confessions (orthodoxe, catholique, protestante) et minorités (hongroise, allemande) dans la Roumanie de 1992. Les communautés minoritaires se concentrent sur de petites aires; la communauté roumaine orthodoxe homogénéise le territoire. Ces configurations permettent de mieux comprendre comment perdure ou se renouvelle la symbiose identitaire entre religion et nation, quel est son rôle dans l'individualisation des consciences ethniques propre à l'Europe centre-orientale, en quoi elle est un obstacle à la laïcisation des sociétés. L'intensification de la construction des églises fait apparaître de nouvelles sensibilités confessionnelles et permet de singulariser les paysages religieux régionaux.Religii, naţionalităţi şi discontinuităţi teritoriale.

Gli artefatti come mediatori dello stile
No full textIl contributo illustra la possibilità di descrivere repertori di concreto impiego di artefatti formativi e ne sottolinea l’ancoraggio al contesto, gli obiettivi perseguiti,alle condizioni d’uso (regole, ruoli, materiali...) e ai risultati acquisiti, evidenziando limiti e spendibilità. viene approfondita la questione della trasferibilità della conoscenza e della spendibilità in contesti e condizioni diverse e trasversali, con inevitabili adattamenti e aggiustamenti locali.
Vengono descritti artefatti predisposti per una proposta formativa all’altezza dei complessi e sfidanti obiettivi perseguiti e coerente con lo stile della casa adottato

No full textLo stile della casa. Artefatti di Alta Formazione in Università Cattolica. Repertori di pratica trasferibili
No full textIl volume pone l’attenzione sulla traslazione dello stile nella pratica quotidiana, approfondendo il ruolo di strumenti e oggetti che all’interno di contesti e comunità operative permettono lo svolgersi delle attività previste, nello specifico dell’azione formativa orientata a un apprendimento capace di far riflettere sulla propria identità lavorativa e di aprire percorsi di riconfigurazione della propria esperienza operativa, professionale e organizzativa.
La possibilità concreta di perseguire una proposta formativa personalizzata, capace di tagliare su misura la stoffa che confeziona l’habitus professionale dei partecipanti, dipende dal mirato e sapiente uso di artefatti, riconducibili a oggetti, strumenti, dispositivi variegati la cui funzione è di mediare, rendere visibili e in qualche modo veicolare rappresentazioni e conoscenze relative a saperi, abitudini, aspettative, norme, valori di riferiment
The Merits of Ability in Developing and Developed Countries
No full textDifferent economic characteristics between developing and developed countries may require worker with different skills, resulting in different returns to the same ability. Moreover, it is also possible that different countries require different skills depending on their economic fundamentals. This paper provides evidence of the hypotheses above by comparing the labour market returns to numeracy and cognitive ability in Indonesia and the United States. In Indonesia, I find that numeracy has no significant effect on income, while general cognitive ability positively affects income. In the United States, meanwhile, I find that only mathematics ability is significant. Looking at the returns by sex, I find that the benefits of higher cognitive skills only pertain to males in Indonesia, while females have higher returns to numeracy than males in the United States. These results are robust to different specifications. Overall, these differences in returns to ability between Indonesia and the United States indicate that different economic structures indeed demand different sets of skills.income, ability, mathematics, cognitive, Indonesia, United States
Measurement of the <i>t</i> dependence in exclusive photoproduction of ϒ(1 <i>S</i>) mesons at HERA
No full textThe exclusive photoproduction reaction γp→ϒ(1 <i>S</i>)<i>p</i> has been studied with the ZEUS detector in <i>ep</i> collisions at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 468 pb<sup>−1</sup>. The measurement covers the kinematic range60<W<220 GeV and Q<sup>2</sup><1 GeV<sup>2</sup>, where <i>W</i> is the photon–proton centre-of-mass energy and Q<sup>2</sup> is the photon virtuality. The exponential slope, <i>b</i>, of the <i>t</i> dependence of the cross section, where <i>t</i> is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, has been measured, yielding b = 4.3{+2.0 =1.3}(stat.){+0.5 -0.6}(syst.) GeV<sup>-2</sup>. This constitutes the first measurement of the <i>t</i> dependence of the γp→ϒ(1 <i>S</i>)<i>p</i> cross section
The effects of trade liberalization on R&D investments: the case of the Uruguayan manufacturing industry
No full textIn this paper we study the effects of increasing imports and foreign firm supply, as a consequence of trade liberalization policies, on the innovative activities of firms in a small developing economy. This is an interesting case as very little research exists on the R&D investments of firms in developing countries. The results show that foreign presence has a positive but not always significant effect, while import competition has a negative and significant effect on R&D investments. Firms that are able to export are also more innovative. The process of reallocation of resources from import substituting industries towards export-oriented industries, caused by the opening of the economy, seems to have reduced the incentives for R&D investments for firms in traditional industries, while increasing those for export-oriented firms. Taking into account the defensive and imitative nature of innovative activities of firms in developing countries, these results go in contrast with the evidence from developed countries, where foreign direct investments and imports seem to show positive effects on innovative activities.

HOW to Facilitate or Stifle Economic Development: The Role of Agriculture in Indonesia and the Philippines
No full textStrikingly different patterns of agricultural growth and widely divergent results in terlnsof rural income. poverty. and employment have cmcrged in Southeast Asia. In the Philippiies, with someregional variations, a patterns of declining red farm wages,increasing landlessness in worsening poverty and diminishing employmctlt relative to demand for jobs has emerged despite some brief periods of improvcment since 1960. Sincc 1980, the employment and poverty situation has deteriorated sharply,particularly in areas concentrating on single traditional export crops (lkc sugar or coconuts) but also in amore general context. Indonesia (particularly in Java, which contains over 60 pcrcent of the population) succeeded in reversing a seemingly inevitable worsening of poverty and inequality in the rural economy with strong evidence indicating that rural real wages and income of small farmers rose substantially between the mid-1970sand late 1980s. Why such divergent patterns of rural development exist and the lessons that can be extracted from thc varied cxperiences of 1ndoncsia and the Philippines are subjects of this papcr.agriculture, economic develoment, Indonesia, the Philippines
Search for single-top production in <i>ep</i> collisions at HERA
No full textA search for single-top production,<i>ep</i>→ <i>et X</i>, has been performed with the ZEUS detector at HERA using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.37 fb<sup>−1</sup>. No evidence for top production was found, consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model. Limits were computed for single-top production via flavour changing neutral current transitions involving a neutral electroweak vector boson, γ or Z. The result was combined with a previous ZEUS result yielding a total luminosity of 0.50 fb<sup>−1</sup>. A 95% credibility level upper limit of 0.13 pb was obtained for the cross section at the centre-of-mass energy of √s = 315 GeV
