Our research, based on the work of social constructionist theorists such as R. Harrè and K. Gergen, aims to offer a contribution to the debate on narrative psychology and its application in the clinical field. Our conceptualisation of 'narrative identity' extend the meaning of 'narration' beyond the verbal, as a 'modus existendi' in general terms. It's therefore possible to suggest a clinical strategy of intervention based on a 'narrative diagnosis', i.e. a diagnosis based on understanding identity as the interweaving of self-narration, narration by others and by the collection of culturally rooted stories which can be defined as 'collective matrices'

T (handwritten) | Blackburn coll. 1910-236 (typeset) | Syntype (circular light-blue-ringed, typeset) | my paralectotype label; in NHML. Blackburn (1892) did not define the type series, seeing an unknown number of males and females (vide Articles 73.1.2, 72.1.1) from “near Narrabri” [30.33°S, 149.77°E]. Lea (1912) noted that the ‘type’ had been sent to NHML, and Britton (1978) referred to a “ holotype ” male from near Narrabri in NHML and a female paratype in SAM. Houston & Weir (1992) listed a “ holotype (probable)” in NHML and a “ paralectotype ” in SAM and this was followed by Allsopp (1993a). As Britton (1978), Houston & Weir (1992), and Allsopp (1993a) provided no discussion and did not label any specimen in NHML, none of these mentions of a holotype constitutes a valid lectotype designation (vide Article 74.5). To stabilise nomenclature, I designate the male in NHML with its aedeagus dissected out the lectotype. The other syntype in NHML is a paralectotype. I did not find a paralectotype in SAM.

Rapid Quantitative Prediction of Ionization Energies and Electron Affinities of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
No full textQuantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) often employ rapid semiempirical calculations to evaluate ionization energy (IE) and electron affinity (EA) values, assuming they are equal (but of opposite sign) to the energies of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO), respectively. However, regardless of the assumption of validity of Koopmans’ theorem, the reliability of this simple theoretical approach for reproducing the experimental IE and EA trends has not been tested, except for a few linear PAHs. Here the measured IEs and EAs of 17 PAHs are plotted vs. the HOMO and LUMO energies obtained with semiempirical AM1 calculations and, for comparison, HF/6-31G calculations. Good linear relationships are obtained with both methods, with correlation coefficients r >0.98 for the IEs and r >0.96 for the EAs. The IEs and EAs predicted by scaling the corresponding MO energies with the appropriate empirical linear equation are compared with experimental values available in the literature for PAHs (28 IEs and 22 EAs). The average (absolute) difference between evaluated and measured IEs is found to be 0.07 eV (s.d.=0.05 eV), while for the EAs the average difference is slightly larger. The accuracy of both AM1 and HF/6-31G methods are essentially equal, the former having the significant advantage of being 60 times faster. The present study demonstrates the ability of rapid semiempirical calculations carried out on the neutral molecules to parallel the experimental IE and EA values of PAHs, and provides simple linear equations which can be routinely employed for their quantitative prediction in this class of compounds

An Economic Analysis of the Tourism Contract: Allotment and Free Sale
No full textWe present an economic analysis of typically incomplete tourism contracts regulating the business relationship between Tour Operators and Hotels which are Allotment and Free Sale contracts.
Starting with an “optimal contract design” approach, we discuss the analytical solution of the optimal choices in a framework of uncertainty for both Tour Operators and Hotels. Three questions are specifically addressed: (i) how Tour Operators and Hotels choose the optimal contract terms (quantity and price); (ii) which is the “optimal risk sharing” rule, for the Allotment contract; (iii) which is the “optimal risk allocation” rule, for the Free Sale contract.
Finally, we compare the two contracts in terms of their overall efficiency and Pareto Optimality
Crisi economica ed etica della responsabilità
No full textL’attuale crisi economica, verificatasi nel contesto della globalizzazione dei mercati, è certamente la più grave crisi economica del dopoguerra. Sul piano delle soluzioni alle cause prossime della crisi, il punto probabilmente più importante è quello relativo alla necessità di riportare equilibrio tra economia e politica, o meglio giungere ad una ripresa del ruolo della politica rispetto all’economia, dopo che per decenni la politica ha svolto un ruolo di "ancella" all’economia. Ciò significa innanzitutto ridare un ruolo e un’importanza a regole che possano governare l’economia in modo efficace, al fine di garantire la stessa sopravvivenza dei mercati, dato che la crisi dimostra come i mercati funzionano bene solo quando sono oggetto di regole e di controlli efficaci
Electron affinities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by means of B3LYP/6-31+G* calculations.
No full textThe gas-phase experimental adiabatic electron affinities (AEAs) of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, chrysene, pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[e]pyrene and fluoranthene are well reproduced using the hybrid density functional method B3LYP with the 6-31+G* basis set, indicating that the smallest addition of diffuse functions to the basis set is suitable for a correct description of the stable PAH anion states. The calculated AEAs also give a very good linear correlation with available reduction potentials measured in solution.
The AEAs (not experimentally available) of the isomeric benzo[ghi]fluoranthene and cyclopenta[cd]pyrene, commonly found in the environment, are predicted to be 0.817 and 1.108 eV, respectively, confirming the enhancement of the electron-acceptor properties associated with fusion of a peripheral cyclopenta ring. The calculated localization properties of the lowest unoccupied MO of cyclopenta[cd]pyrene, together with its relatively high electron affinity, account for a high reactivity at the ethene double bond of this PAH in reductive processes
Economia, Italia ed Europa: la pandemia come opportunità
No full textLa necessità di gestire la situazione sanitaria che si è determinata a causa del virus Covid-19, ha inevitabilmente determinato una grossa crisi per il mondo delle imprese, con un calo della produzione e delle ore lavorate, che a sua volta ha determinato un vero e proprio crollo del Prodotto Interno Lordo, stimato per l’anno 2020 tra il 9% e il 15%. Il ricorso alla cassa integrazione che ne è conseguito (mentre si è per ora evitato il crollo dell’occupazione tramite il blocco dei licenziamenti ex lege) ha causato poi a sua volta la riduzione del reddito delle famiglie e quindi dei consumi. Inoltre, le inevitabili difficoltà finanziarie delle imprese che si sono generate potrebbero in futuro portare anche a dei fallimenti, se questa situazione di crisi dovesse permanere ancora a lungo
