La Fondazione Cassa di risparmio della provincia di Teramo
No full textIl capitolo è parte di un volume che raccoglie i risultati di una ricerca e di un percorso di sperimentazione a livello nazionale sulle fondazioni di origine bancaria. Tali attività si ponevano un duplice obiettivo: da un lato, analizzare in profondità gli interventi di un certo numero di organizzazioni rappresentative dell’universo delle fondazioni piccole e medio-grandi; dall’altro, sperimentare un modello, messo a punto con le organizzazioni partecipanti, che prevedeva una serie di operazioni e procedure per innalzare l’impatto del loro intervento nella realtà locale. Il capitolo si focalizza sulla Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio della Provincia di Teramo. La ricerca è stata condotta seguendo un approccio mixed-method, utilizzando più metodi e tecniche di rilevazione (raccolta e analisi di documenti, raccolta e analisi di dati quantitativi, interviste semi-strutturate a membri della fondazione, interviste semi-strutturate a osservatori privilegiati). È emerso che, nonostante un contesto di condizioni non sempre favorevole, soprattutto dopo la crisi finanziaria, la fondazione svolge un ruolo importante nella produzione di beni collettivi per il territorio di riferimento, agevolata da una gestione selettiva e focalizzata delle risorse, all’interno però di una strategia di sviluppo che promuove la cooperazione tra vari attori locali. E il percorso di sperimentazione ha enfatizzato alcune possibilità di rafforzamento di tale ruolo
La scuola «restata a casa». Organizzazione, didattica e lavoro durante il lockdown per la pandemia di Covid 19
No full textIl paper presenta i risultati di un’indagine rivolta ai docenti delle scuole dell’infanzia, primaria e secondaria, in merito alla didattica a distanza attuata durante la fase emergenziale della pandemia di Covid-19. L’indagine è stata promossa e condotta dalla Flc-Cgil (Federazione Lavoratori della Conoscenza), in collaborazione con la Fondazione Giuseppe Di Vittorio.
L'Indagine sulla didattica a distanza è stata condotta su tutto il territorio nazionale, con questionario online, tecnica Cawi, dal 3 aprile al 7 maggio 2020, con 1197 questionari validi. L’analisi presentata in questo paper considera i seguenti aspetti: i processi decisionali attuati nei contesti scolastici; l esperienza pregressa di didattica a distanza e i percorsi formativi per i docenti; gli strumenti a disposizione e le modalità adottate per la didattica; la partecipazione degli studenti ai corsi e le disuguaglianze; il carico di lavoro per i docenti e la conciliazione tra tempi di vita e di lavoro; le difficoltà incontrate e il giudizio complessivo su questa esperienza. In particolare, sono state approfondite le relazioni tra questi fattori e i profili demografici (sesso, anno di nascita e provincia di residenza) e occupazionali dei rispondenti (grado di insegnamento e tipo di rapporto di lavoro).
L’analisi evidenzia da un lato le numerose criticità affrontate dai docenti, dall’altro la loro capacità di reazione e intervento per garantire lo svolgimento delle attività scolastiche, in un contesto caratterizzato da crescenti disuguaglianze ( tra i diversi contesti territoriali e organizzativi) e da una estrema diversificazione delle esperienze di didattica a distanza, con una pluralità di stili di gestione, strumenti e pratiche adottate, anche in conseguenza delle carenze di coordinamento, supporto e indirizzo generale

Mapping local defects of extended media using cavity solitons
No full textThe stable positions of localized structures depend on spatial gradients in the system parameters and
on the local defects of the hosting medium. We propose a general method to disclose and visualize
the local defects of the medium structure, otherwise not detected. The method is based on the
observation of the spatiotemporal behavior of localized structures in the presence of controlled
gradients in the experimental parameters. We experimentally show an application of this method in
a broad-area semiconductor vertical cavity surface emitting laser with optical injection. The
comparison of the experimental results with numerical simulations shows a very good agreement
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Psychological impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their families: Evaluation before and during covid-19 outbreak among an Italian sample
No full textBackground. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic forced parents and children to modify their habits with a radical change in the family routine and consequent increase in psychological stress. Children with a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDDs) are particularly vulnerable to new and unexpected situations; moreover, the parents of these children generally show high levels of psychological stress due to the greater commitment that this condition imposes on them. The aim of this study is to evaluate the disease status of NDDs children before and during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and to evaluate the psychological effects related to measures of social distancing on these children and their families. Materials and methods. Seventy-one children with NDDs, were enrolled in this study and followed up at the Child Neuropsychiatry Unit of the University Hospital Consortium Corporation Polyclinic of Bari (Italy) along with their parents. Parents were evaluated before national lockdown (baseline) and recontacted during the SARS-CoV-2 emergency almost after a year. The changes in emotional/behavioral problems of children and parenting stress before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic were assessed with Child Behaviour CheckList (CBCL) and Parent Stress Index - short form (PSI). Results. The analysis of the emotional and behavioral problems of children with NDDs did not show statistically significant differences between the before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period. The evaluations conducted on parents highlights an increase in parental stress during the pandemic. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found in three subscales: Parenting Distress (PD) scale, Dysfunctional Interaction Parent-Child (P-CDI) scale and Defensive responding scale (DF). Conclusions. This study highlights the increase in parental stress and a more difficult parent-child interaction with NDDs in the period of lockdown due to the pandemic; identification of these risk targets can be useful for interventions in similar situations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide caregivers information to manage and overcome challenges experienced during a pandemic and providing psychological support for caregivers of children with NDDs

In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
