Montesi C. (2017), Introduzione alla Lectio Magistralis del Prof. Stefano Zamagni “Economia e Teologia: un difficile connubio. Tracce di Economia Civile nel magistero di Teresa?”
No full textL’introduzione di C.Montesi alla Lectio Magistralis del Prof. Stefano Zamagni dal titolo “Economia e Teologia: un difficile connubio. Tracce di Economia Civile nel magistero di Teresa? contenuta nel volume Montesi C., Velassery B.G. (2017) (a cura di), “Teresa tra azione e contemplazione. Festival della spiritualità teresiana (Terni, gennaio-ottobre 2015)”, Edizioni OCD, Roma ha un duplice obiettivo. Da un lato quello di dimostrare che il paradigma dell’Economia Civile potrebbe arricchirsi di un’ulteriore testimonianza (quella di santa Teresa di Gesù che racchiude peraltro una prospettiva di genere) sul versante sia delle sue radici storiche che della investigazione del ruolo dei carismi in economia, dall’altro che la spiritualità teresiana potrebbe, a sua volta, aprirsi maggiormente ad una prospettiva socio-economica-manageriale (prendendo come paradigma di riferimento l’Economia Civile dati i punti di contatto esistenti con essa) ed essere attualizzata/convogliata nello sforzo, ormai improrogabile, di riforma dell’economia contemporanea che reclama eticizzazione, umanizzazione e maggiore sostenibilità ambientale

<p>Cartoon diagram describing the three steps of melt migration used by MeltMigrator. See also Gregg <em>et al.</em> (2012) for a slightly different version of the diagram.
</p>
<p>New in version 1.1.0:</p>
<ul>
<li>The input model no longer need to be COMSOL. You can choose instead to use a ASCII table containing the x,y,z positions and associated temperature and upward velocity.</li>
<li>all calls to fsolve have been replaced by calls to fzero, which does not require a custom toolbox.</li>

Teresa tra azione e contemplazione. Festival della spiritualità teresiana (Terni, gennaio-ottobre 2015)
No full textIl Festival della Spiritualità teresiana (2015), promosso a Terni dai Frati Carmelitani della Basilica di San Valentino, dal Centro Culturale Valentiniano e dal Dipartimento di Economia dell’Università degli Studi Perugia sede di Terni per celebrare i cinquecento anni dalla nascita di santa Teresa d’Avila, ha visto il dibattito e l’incontro di saperi diversi sulla figura e l’agire della più grande mistica e riformatrice della Chiesa cattolica. Il volume, che raccoglie gli Atti dei convegni e delle conferenze ivi tenutisi, mentre approfondisce le diverse sfaccettature della Santa, mette a fuoco l’opera di questa straordinaria donna di azione e di realizzazione, lanciando anche una “provocazione” sul possibile connubio tra Economia e Teologia a partire dall’esplorazione di alcune tracce di “Economia civile” nel magistero di santa Teresa. Il volume, nel suo percorso interdisciplinare, interculturale e di genere, riflette le diverse anime che ha avuto il Festival. L’intersecazione di tante dimensioni è risultata necessaria per dare un’interpretazione di santa Teresa di Gesù il più possibile fedele al suo magistero e alla sua prismatica personalità. Il personaggio di Santa Teresa d’Avila è stato esaminato durate il Festival sotto vari profili (spirituale, di genere, storico, sociologico, filosofico, letterario e dell’Economia Civile) che ne hanno rivelato la profondità ed innovatività spirituale, l’eclettismo, il realismo. Tutta questa analisi è confluita nel libro curato da Cristina Montesi, economista dell’Università degli Studi di Perugia, e da Padre George Bose Velassery, monaco carmelitano, parroco e rettore della Basilica di San Valentino in Terni. La riflessione è stata sviluppata attraverso diverse conferenze che hanno affrontato aspetti peculiari di Teresa: Teresa in una prospettiva di genere; Teresa e l’orazione come amicizia con Gesù; Teresa e l’amore; Teresa ed i sensi spirituali; Teresa tra azione e contemplazione; Mistica teresiana e mistica orientale: un confronto nella prospettiva fenomenologica; Teresa amante dei libri; Teresa “scrittrice d’esperienza”.
Nei tre eventi del Festival a sfondo più economico-sociale (la Lectio Magistralis del Prof.Stefano Zamagni dell’Università degli Studi di Bologna; il convegno "Teresa fondatrice. I cammini di Teresa manager illuminata"; il convegno "Teresa e le fragilità umane e sociali") è stato innovativamente messo in luce il ruolo che la spiritualità può giocare in campo economico e sociale ed i legami tra la spiritualità teresiana e l'Economia Civile
Implementing Active Rules in an Object Database System
No full text1 Introduction impedance mismatch classes G. Guerrini D. Montesi G. Rodriguez Implementing Active Rules in an Object Database System 1 2 2 This work has been supported by ESPRIT project P6333 IDEA. [email protected] montesi, german @ipmel2.elet.polimi.it In this paper we describe how Chimera active rules are implemented in the testbed developed at Politecnico di Milano. Chimera is a database language that integrates object oriented, active and deductive modeling features. Chimera active rule language is very rich, since it provides the integration of object orientation and the availability of alternative semantics. The aim of this paper is to show how such a rich set of capabilities is implemented and to justify the choices taken by comparing Chimera active rule implementation with the implementations of well known active database systems.

A comparative analysis of different business ethics in the perspective of the Common Good
No full textThe paper concerns the connection between different tipologies of business ethics (kantian, utilitarian, aristotelic) and the alternative vision of economic development, company’s organizational and managerial context together with interest in Common Good more or less associated to profit to which they have given rise. In this comparison virtue ethics stands out for its capacity of creating, specially through the business virtue of generosity, social capital so precious to economic development at every level, for its capability of increasing people’s well-being, and for its capacity to make the production of relational goods (among which Common Good), on which people’s happiness depends, easier. Gift’s paradigm recovery can also be helpful to prevent other financial and economic crisis like the actual one which has had, like less striking but deepest cause, the triumph of avarice’s vice on the virtues of giving (generosity and justice).Business Ethics, Gift’s Economy, Generosity, Charity, Mercy, Social Capital, Relational Goods, Common Good
Long-term weight loss maintenance for obesity: a multidisciplinary approach
No full textLuca Montesi,1 Marwan El Ghoch,2 Lucia Brodosi,1 Simona Calugi,2 Giulio Marchesini,1 Riccardo Dalle Grave2 1Unit of Metabolic Diseases, S Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, “Alma Mater Studiorum” University, Bologna, Italy; 2Department of Eating and Weight Disorders, Villa Garda Hospital, Verona, Italy Abstract: The long-term weight management of obesity remains a very difficult task, associated with a high risk of failure and weight regain. However, many people report that they have successfully managed weight loss maintenance in the long term. Several factors have been associated with better weight loss maintenance in long-term observational and randomized studies. A few pertain to the behavioral area (eg, high levels of physical activity, eating a low-calorie, low-fat diet; frequent self-monitoring of weight), a few to the cognitive component (eg, reduced disinhibition, satisfaction with results achieved, confidence in being able to lose weight without professional help), and a few to personality traits (eg, low novelty seeking) and patient–therapist interaction. Trials based on the most recent protocols of lifestyle modification, with a prolonged extended treatment after the weight loss phase, have also shown promising long-term weight loss results. These data should stimulate the adoption of a lifestyle modification-based approach for the management of obesity, featuring a nonphysician lifestyle counselor (also called “lifestyle trainer” or “healthy lifestyle practitioner”) as a pivotal component of the multidisciplinary team. The obesity physicians maintain a primary role in engaging patients, in team coordination and supervision, in managing the complications associated with obesity and, in selected cases, in the decision for drug treatment or bariatric surgery, as possible more intensive, add-on interventions to lifestyle treatment. Keywords: obesity, lifestyle modification, cognitive behavior therapy, multidisciplinary treatmen
JOLIE: a Java Orchestration Language Interpreter Engine
No full textAbstractService oriented computing is an emerging paradigm for programming distributed applications based on services. Services are simple software elements that supply their functionalities by exhibiting their interfaces and that can be invoked by exploiting simple communication primitives. The emerging mechanism exploited in service oriented computing for composing services –in order to provide more complex functionalities– is by means of orchestrators. An orchestrator is able to invoke and coordinate other services by exploiting typical workflow patterns such as parallel composition, sequencing and choices. Examples of orchestration languages are XLANG [IBM, “XLANG: Web Services for Business Process Design,” http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/xml_wsspecs/xlang-c/default.htm] and WS-BPEL [OASIS, “Web Services Business Process Execution Language Version 2.0, Working Draft,” http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/10347/wsbpel-specification-draft-120204.htm]. In this paper we present JOLIE, an interpreter and engine for orchestration programs. The main novelties of JOLIE are that it provides an easy to use development environment (because it supports a more programmer friendly C/Java-like syntax instead of an XML-based syntax) and it is based on a solid mathematical underlying model (developed in previous works of the authors [N. Busi, R. Gorrieri, C. Guidi, R. Lucchi and G. Zavattaro, Towards a formal framework for Choreography, in: Proc. of 3rd International Workshop on Distributed and Mobile Collaboration (DMC 2005) (2005), N. Busi, R. Gorrieri, C. Guidi, R.
