No full textLe funzioni ricoperte dalle banche nell’ambito del sistema finanziario hanno reso indispensabile, in ogni nazione, l’adozione di una specifica normativa di settore. La globalizzazione dei mercati finanziari ha tuttavia fatto emergere, con grande chiarezza, che le economie più sviluppate del pianeta non potevano più permettersi di disciplinare in modo notevolmente differente il mercato bancario interno. Le diversità regolamentari, infatti, in un mercato internazionale della finanza sempre più aperto e libero da vincoli valutari ed operativi, avrebbero potuto determinare non opportuni vantaggi concorrenziali per alcune banche e soprattutto il rischio che crisi del mercato bancario di un Paese avessero potuto facilmente contagiare le economie delle altre nazion
ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES IN A PETRI NETS-BASED MODEL OF MANETS
No full textSeveral problems related to communication among Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) devices can be faced making
use of formal models. Among these, Petri Nets are particularly suitable for modeling dynamic and transitional systems.
The tool DEMONE models the behavior of each host in a MANET through a Petri Nets extension, so that it allows the analysis of some interesting computational activities and the study of performance of the modeled MANE
Supporting students with a personal advisor
No full textRecently, many national and international initiative show an increasing
interest in promoting distance education interventions by Universities.
These initiatives aim at supporting students during their studies providing them
with personalized solutions to their problems related not only to the fruition of
on-line courses but also to orientation issues. In this paper we present a general
architecture of an Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) that has the main
aim to assist students by providing personalized suggestions. In particular, the
ECA architecture has been conceived in order to run on the student handheld
device. The paper discusses the design and technical issues involved in developing
this personal agent and the plan for evaluation
I RIFLESSI DI BASILEA 2 SUL GOVERNO DELLE BANCHE MINORI. ANALISI
No full textLo studio dell'impaato di Basilea 2 sulle banche di dimensione minore, la cui analisi descrittiva è contenuta nei capitoli precedenti,è stato svolto anche attraverso un'indagine empirica condotta su un campione rappresentativo di banche nazionali di minore dimensione. Nel presente capitolovengono descritti i risultati che emergono dall'analisi empirica effettuata attraverso l'invio di un questionario
Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma: cases report and review of the litterature. Mesothelioma peritoneale multicistico benigno: casi clinici e revisione della letteratura.
No full textBenign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a very rare benign cystic tumor; at present approximately 130 cases have been reported. It more frequently occurs in females (87%), expecially in the pelvic area of the cul-de-sac, uterus and rectum; the pathogenesis has remained controversial. Abdominal pain is the most common symptom (75%). Ultrasound, Computerized Tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful, but the diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma shows high recurrence after surgical resection, but it does not present a tendency to transform into malignancy. Surgery is the only effective treatment, and peritonectomy is recommended. A prolonged systematic followup of these patients, perhaps for all life, is required. Here we report two cases that underwent surgery for benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma. In the first case the lesion was a multicystic fluid mass of the large in..
Effectiveness of responsibility teaching estrategia IKDi3 y proyectos de Aprendizaje Cooperativo alineados con los ODS
No full textThe University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, through Unai Tamayo and Julen
Castillo, who are lecturers / researchers at the Department of Financial Economics II, participates in the
Erasmus+ project called EFFectiveness Of Responsibility Teaching (EFFORT), which was launched in
September 2019. Colleagues from other universities in Germany, Italy, Hungary and Finland are also
involved in the aforementioned project. The objective of EFFORT project is to develop tools and
guidelines that support higher education institutions to increase the effectiveness and quality of
sustainability, ethics- and/or CSR-related teaching
Breath analysis: comparison among methodological approaches for breath sampling
No full textDespite promising results obtained in the early diagnosis of several pathologies, breath analysis still remains an unused technique in clinical practice due to the lack of breath sampling standardized procedures able to guarantee a good repeatability and comparability of results. The most diffuse on an international scale breath sampling method uses polymeric bags, but, recently, devices named Mistral and ReCIVA, able to directly concentrate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) onto sorbent tubes, have been developed and launched on the market. In order to explore performances of these new automatic devices with respect to sampling in the polymeric bag and to study the differences in VOCs profile when whole or alveolar breath is collected and when pulmonary wash out with clean air is done, a tailored experimental design was developed. Three different breath sampling approaches were compared: (a) whole breath sampling by means of Tedlar bags, (b) the end-tidal breath collection using the Mistral sampler, and (c) the simultaneous collection of the whole and alveolar breath by using the ReCIVA. The obtained results showed that alveolar fraction of breath was relatively less affected by ambient air (AA) contaminants (p-values equal to 0.04 for Mistral and 0.002 for ReCIVA Low) with respect to whole breath (p-values equal to 0.97 for ReCIVA Whole). Compared to Tedlar bags, coherent results were obtained by using Mistral while lower VOCs levels were detected for samples (both breath and AA) collected by ReCIVA, likely due to uncorrected and fluctuating flow rates applied by this device. Finally, the analysis of all data also including data obtained by explorative analysis of the unique lung cancer (LC) breath sample showed that a clean air supply might determine a further confounding factor in breath analysis considering that lung wash-out is species-dependent
