    No full text
    Tre lettere inedite inviate da Paolo Gualdo a Gianfrancesco Mussato contribuiscono, con notizie sulla cronologia, alla storia della biblioteca del dotto umanista Gian Vincenzo Pinelli. Le informazioni si integrano con quanto esposto da Gualdo nella sua fondamentale 'Vita' di Pinelli (1607), uno dei testi più precoci tra le biografie degli uomini dotti, genere fiorito nella 'Res publica litteraria' dei secoli moderni

    Leading Across Generations: How Succession Can Drive Family Business Growth

    encing their continuity, governance and long-term success. This chapter provides a foundational overview of succession in family businesses, exploring its core definitions, conceptual underpinnings and unique char acteristics. To this end, we identified, synthesized and systematized the most influential recent research on the topic. We selected articles that were published between 2015 and 2023 in leading management journals, focusing on those appearing in the 25 scientific journals ranked 4 and 4* in Academic Journal Guide (2021) of the Charted Association of Business 1 In addition, due to their relevance in the field of Family Business Management, we also included Family Business Review and Journal of Family Business Strategy. As a result, a total of 27 scientific journals were included in our sampling process. We then used Web of Science to select articles published in these jour nals that examined succession-related issues in a family business context. As such, we looked for research articles that contained the following key words within the abstract: family business, family firm, family enterprise, family owned, Family ownership, family management, family manager, family leader, family controlled. We obtained a raw sample of 557 articles. From this initial set, we selected only the articles that in the Web of Science keyword field contained the terms “succession” and “generation”. We thus obtained 75 articles, which we used as the knowledge base for the investigation of family business succession. reviews, 1 editorial, 1 commentary and 60 empirical studies. Among these, 30 articles adopted a quantitative methodology, 5 applied mixed-methods and 25 were qualitative investigations. The majority of these articles (53; 71%) were published in just two journals: the Journal of Family Business Strategy (30; 43%) and Family Business Review (21; 28%). The remaining 29% was published in eight highly ranked scientific outlets (see Fig. 1.1)

    The distribution of galanin (GAL)-like immunoreactivity was investigated in the brain and pituitary of the "four-eyed" fish, Anableps anableps. GAL-immunoreactive (GAL-ir) perikarya were located in the area ventralis telencephali pars supracommissuralis, nucleus preopticus periventricularis, nucleus preopticus pars parvocellularis, nucleus preopticus pars magnocellularis, nucleus lateralis tuberis ventralis, nucleus lateralis tuberis lateralis, and nucleus lateralis tuberis posterior. A few scattered, GAL-ir neurons were also observed in or adjacent to the nucleus recessus lateralis, nucleus recessus posterioris and lobus facialis (VII). GAL-ir fiber networks were widespread in the brain, with a comparatively higher density in the ventral telencephalic, preoptic and infundibular regions. The neurohypophysis showed GAL-ir innervation and there were GAL-ir cells in the adenohypophysis. The presence of GAL-ir cells in the hypothalamus and in the pituitary is an important asset for the supposed role of GAL-like peptide in neuroendocrine regulation of brain and pituitary functions

NEA Big Read: Hampton Roads, the President\u27s Lecture Series, and the President\u27s Task Force on Inclusive Excellence invite you to a powerful evening with Claudia Rankine, the book\u27s author, hosted by Tim Seibles, Poet Laureate for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and opening with readings by local youth poets. Claudia Rankine has written five collections of poetry, including Citizen: An American Lyric, which was selected for the National Endowment for the Arts\u27 Big Read, and two plays. She also has participated in several video collaborations and edited anthologies including The Racial Imaginary: Writers on Race in the Life of the Mind. Rankine has received fellowships from the MacArthur and Guggenheim foundations. Citizen won several honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, the PEN Open Book Award and the NAACP Image Award. Citizen also was the only poetry book to be a New York Times nonfiction bestseller. She is the Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry at Yale University and chancellor of the Academy of American Poets

    Computational efficient unsupervised coastline detection from single-polarization 1-look SAR images of complex coastal environments

    Coastline detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is crucial in many application fields, from coastal erosion monitoring to navigation, from damage assessment to security planning for port facilities. The backscattering difference between land and sea is not always documented in SAR imagery, due to the severe speckle noise, especially in 1-look data with high spatial resolution, high sea state, or complex coastal environments. This paper presents an unsupervised, computationally efficient solution to extract the coastline acquired by only one single-polarization 1-look SAR image. Extensive tests on Spotlight COSMO-SkyMed images of complex coastal environments and objective assessment demonstrate the validity of the proposed procedure which is compared to state-of-The-Art methods through visual results and with an objective evaluation of the distance between the detected and the true coastline provided by regional authorities

    Homonoia - Concorda - Sammanasya

    No full text
    Analysis of the divine figures of Homónoia in the Greek pantheon, Concordia in the Roman pantheon, and Sammanasya in the Vedic pantheon. Claudia Santi is the author of Homónoia; Andrzej Gillmeister is the author of Concordia; Antonio Salvati is the author of Sammanasya. As regards Homónoia, the origin of this personified abstraction seems to be traced back to the political debate of Athens in the last 5th century. Maybe it was created by Antiphon as opposed to stásis, both in the meaning of ‘psychic conflict’ and ‘internal political dissensions, civil war’
