PHIALOPHORA-LIKE FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH KIWIFRUIT ELEPHANTIASIS
No full textAn unusual disease, named elephantiasis for its typical symptoms, has been seen in orchards of kiwifruit cv. Hayward in Emilia-Romagna (northern Italy) since 2001. Phialophora-like isolates were obtained from the necrotic wood and were studied in vitro for phenotype and tissue colonization ability. We used primers amplifying the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) for molecular identification. Phaeoacremonium strains were further identified with b-tubulin-specific primers. Strains of Cadophora, Lecythophora and Phaeoacremonium were classified and characterized. The isolates differed in their ability to colonise tissue. P. aleophilum and C. melinii showed the highest colonization index. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Cadophora melinii isolated from kiwifruit plants
The National Labour Policies in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy and of the European Economic Governance
No full textThe National Labour Policies in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy and of the European Economic Governance, by Silvia Borelli
The author presents the main priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy and the different steps of the European Semester of the European Economic Governance. The system of the European measures to solve the economic crisis is completed by the analysis of the “Six Pack”, the EuroPlus Pact and the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance. The author clarifies how the European Employment Strategy has been fully absorbed by the European Economic Governance. After considering some of the new European economic framework’s consequences on Member States’ labour policies and on social dialogue, the author focuses on the recent review of Italian labour policies, performed by European Commission as part of the European Semester

Experiential verbs in Homeric Greek
No full textIn Experiential verbs in Homeric Greek. A constructional approach Silvia
Luraghi offers a comprehensive account of construction variation with
two-place verbs belonging to different sub-domains of experience
(including bodily sensation, perception, cognition, emotion and
volitionality) in the Homeric language. Traditionally, variation is
ascribed to the independent meaning of cases that mark the second
argument, and explanations have focused on properties of the latter.
By taking a constructional approach, the author shows that construction
variation also brings about differences in the conceptualization of the
subject/experiencer by pointing to different degrees of control and
awareness. Variation is then shown to refl ect the embodied construal
of experience along with the social dimension of emotion
Does strict employment protection discourage job creation? Evidence from Croatia
No full textEmployment protection legislation in Croatia is among the most strict in Europe. Firing is difficult and costly, and flexible forms of employment are limited. Is this apparent rigidity reflected-as one would expect based on standard economic theory-in low labor market dynamics? Is job creation low and hiring limited? Is the job security of insiders achieved at the cost of outsiders not being able to enter thelabor market? The author attempts to answer these questions by examining job flows. If the employment protection legislation is binding, then job and worker turnover should be low. He shows that this is indeed the case. Hiring is limited and the average job tenure is very long in Croatia. Job destruction is low, however job creation is still lower. The result is accumulation of unemployment, in large part due to new labor market entrants not being able to find a job. The high degree of job protection also seems to strengthen the bargaining position of insiders and results in relatively high wages. So, wages in Croatia are higher than among its competitors, even after adjusting for productivity. These high labor costs are likely to contribute to limited job creation in existing firms, but also are likely to discourage the entry of-and thus job creation in-new firms. The author presents evidence that firm growth has been indeed limited in Croatia, contributing to the low employment level. The author examines other potential causes of high unemployment in Croatia (the unemployment benefit system, labor taxation, the wage structure, and skill and spatial mismatches). He argues that they do not play a substantial part in accounting for poor labor market outcomes in Croatia. The author concludes that the stringent employment protection legislation is the key labor market institution behind low job creation and high unemployment. Based on this he recommends specific measures aimed at liberalizing the labor market to foster job creation and employment.Labor Management and Relations,Labor Policies,Labor Markets,Environmental Economics&Policies,Trade Finance and Investment,Labor Markets,Labor Management and Relations,Labor Standards,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies
A interação texto/imagem em duas traduções de Flicts para o inglês
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Abstract : This study aims to investigate two translations of FLICTS, first children's book written by Ziraldo and first full-colored album for children produced in Brazil, with a view to discussing the different interactions between text and image that might occur within the translation of children's literature. Considered a landmark in Brazilian Children's Literature since its launch in 1969, its British version was translated by Silvia Caruana and published by the publishing house Roger Schlesinger in 1973 and its American English version was translated by Daniela Pinto, originally published by Melbooks in 1984 - subsequently also published by Editora Melhoramentos and commercialized in Brazil. The theoretical framework informing the study is based on the interface of Descriptive Translation Studies, Translation of Children's Literature and the Grammar of Visual Design. By the analyses of a multimodal corpus and a dossier about the history of this printed book, it was possible to note that the several changes along FLICTS publishing history have made up other possible readings on this work
