No full textThe history of the Romano famili and "Angelo, tyran de Padoue" by Victor Hugo.
No full textreservedVictor Hugo, nel dramma Angelo, tyran de Padue, ricama tre diverse epoche storiche: i primi decenni dell’Ottocento, a lui contemporanei; la metà del Cinquecento, prescelta per lo svolgimento dell’azione drammatica; il tardo Medioevo evinto dai personaggi principali che compongono il racconto. Tuttavia, l’interesse storico e prettamente romantico verso il periodo medievale assume in quest’opera una rilevanza primaria. Tra le tante casate del nord Italia nominate dall’autore nell’opera, una su tutte sembra essere davvero simbolica. Particolarmente interessante è stato comprendere come la storia della famiglia da Romano costituisca il fulcro della costruzione drammaturgica. Ezzelino III e Cunizza da Romano sono elevati a emblema della poetica romantica e divengono funzionali al messaggio politico e sociale dell’autore.Victor Hugo, in his play Angelo, tyran de Padue, embroiders three different historical epochs: the first decades of the 19th century, contemporary with him; the middle of the 16th century, chosen for the unfolding of the dramatic action; and the late Middle Ages evoked by the main characters in the story. However, the historical and purely romantic interest in the medieval period takes on primary importance in this work. Of the many northern Italian lineages named by the author in the work, one in particular seems to be truly symbolic. It was particularly interesting to understand how the history of the da Romano family forms the core of the dramaturgical construction. Ezzelino III and Cunizza da Romano are elevated to emblems of romantic poetics and become functional to the author's political and social message

Literature Review on CEO Succession Types and Follow-up effects
No full textSince it was first discussed by Weisbach M.S. in “Outside directors and CEO turnover” (1988), the matter of CEO Succession has received increased attention and thorough theorization in the last few decades. This has led to the creation and adoption of different methods of research in the field leading to conflicting results throughout the years.
This paper aims to summarize and review the most recent theories, taking note of the most cited literature through the years, describing its evolution, and identifying gaps in the research on the topic through the coding of keywords and key concepts, of all the relevant documents.
By analyzing a qualitative empirical method (content analysis) of research used in literature, the study tried to find a common ground that can be utilized as the base for future studies.
The results show an additional CEO succession category: the double-outsider, described as a candidate outside of both the company and the industry. Another important finding is the clarification of the process that can lead to a succession, found by Berns (2017): (1) Relay succession; (2) Horse race; (3) Interim; (4) Insider follower and (5) Insider contender.
The literature research on CEO succession identifies some lacks of cohesion when deciding on what parameter using in order to measure the firm performance.
Results suggest free cash flow parameter can be used to achieve a holistic view of internal performance. Furthermore, future research should focus on the effect that the CEO has on the company to isolate his/her contribution to the company's the company's performance in order to understand and estimate her/his contribution.
This paper goes beyond the CEO succession concept as a moment in the lifetime’ firm, identifying the CEO succession as a process characterized by three phases
Experimental Evaluation of The Ultimate Capacity of External RC Beam-Column Joints
No full textSome results of a wide experimental program carried out on beam-column RC joints are presented. All the experimental tests were performed at the Laboratory of Structures of the University of Basilicata, Italy. Current assessment procedures on existing buildings usually neglect the variations of joint stiffness due to axial load variations. Main objective of the paper is to show how the axial load value on the columns can affect both ultimate capacity and stiffness of joints. To this purpose, the behaviour of three identical specimens tested under different axial load values is analysed and compared in terms of ultimate capacity and deformation behaviour. Results show significant variations of the joint stiffness at increasing drift values and, moreover, that the main source of deformability moves from the beam to the joint panel when the axial load decreases. The increase in joints’ deformability is mainly due to early cracking of the joint panel as a consequence of the stress state determined by low axial load values
Cyclic Tests on External RC Beam-Column Joints: Role of Seismic Design Level and Axial Load Value on the Ultimate Capacity
No full textA wide experimental program on beam-column RC joints carried out in the framework of the DPC-Reluis Project (DPC: Department of Civil Protection, Reluis: Network of University Laboratories of Earthquake Engineering) is presented. All the experimental tests were performed at the Laboratory of Structures of the University of Basilicata, Potenza (Italy). The main objective of the experimental campaign is to study and compare the post-elastic behaviour of beam-column joints with different earthquake resistant design levels, indicating the role of some structural parameters such as the axial load value acting on the column, the beam dimensions, and the steel type, on the joint performances and failure mechanism. The analyses have mainly been devoted to improving the assessment procedures regarding existing buildings but also to verifying the prediction capability of the capacity models relevant to beam-column joints contained in literature and in the new seismic codes. Following a short description of the experimental methodologies used in other campaigns, the experimental program is presented, providing a detailed description of the specimens and of the testing set-up. This is followed by a report of the main results of the cyclic tests performed on the beam-column specimens which highlight the role played by axial load and seismic design level in determining the failure mechanism and the global response of the joints
Analisi sperimentale delle prestazioni di un nodo trave-colonna in c.a. non sismico rinforzato con la tecnica DIS-CAM
No full textIn the paper an experimental campaign on a full scale RC beam-column joint subjected to cyclic loading is presented. The specimen, belonging to a 4-storeys RC framed structure designed only to gravity loads, was firstly tested as-built, damaged, and then newly tested after the application of a retrofitting system named DIS-CAM. This intervention aimed at increasing the joint performance to achieve seismic capacity equivalent to joints designed in moderate seismic zone (i.e. peak ground acceleration equal to 0.25g). The paper describes design and execution of the retrofitting intervention and presents test results before and after such intervention. Specifically, main results showing a remarkable increase in strength and deformation capacity although in the previous test the specimen was heavily damaged
Evolution of reproductive strategies and male sexual ornaments in poeciliid fishes as inferred by mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene phylogeny.
No full textPoeciliid fishes have been widely used as a model system in the study of
sexual selection mechanisms. In several species belonging to the genera
Xiphophorus and Poecilia males show conspicuous ornaments and use
courtship display to obtain female cooperation during mating. Conversely
most of the remaining poeciliids are drab and achieve copulation mainly
through gonopodial thrusting, a fertilization strategy that bypasses the
female's consent. We sequenced a portion of the large (16S)
mitochondrial ribosomal RNA gene to estimate the phylogenetic
relationships among the Eve tribes of the subfamily Poeciliinae (ROSEN &
BAYLEY 1963) and we used the molecular phylogeny to reconstruct the
origin of male ornaments and the evolutionary history of the
reproductive strategies in this family. Gambusiini were found to be the
basal tribe in the subfamily Poeciliinae. In our phylogeny, Xiphophorus
and Poecilia were not closely related thus suggesting that the tribe
Poeciliini is not a monophyletic group. Gonopodial thrusting was
probably the primitive mating strategy of the poeciliids. Sexual
ornaments and elaborate courtship behaviour apparently evolved more
recently in the genus Xiphophorus and independently in the genus
Poecilia
Oltre i confini della razionalità
No full text- Il contributo di Angelo Volpe prende in esame fondamentalmen-te due oggetti: primo, la potenzialità indiscussa nella sociologia contemporanea degli approcci individualistici e razionali e, secondo, la necessità di trascendere la gabbia stessa della razionalità e di andare oltre. Ciò che l’autore auspica è la realizzazione di un “modello a spettro intero” per l’analisi dei fatti sociali, un modello che possa espandere il raggio d’azione della comprensione sociologica al di là di ciò che possiamo vedere e misurare razionalmente.
- The contribution of Angelo Volpe essentially examines two objects: first, the unquestioned potentiality in contemporary sociology of individualistic and rational approaches, and, second, the need to transcend the very cage of rationality and go further. What the author hopes is the realization of a "full-spectrum model" for the analysis of social events, a model that can expand the scope of sociological understanding beyond what we can see and measure rationally
