I servizi per l’infanzia in Emilia-Romagna: uno sguardo all’anno 2014-2015
Full text linkDopo avere analizzato lo stato attuale e l’evoluzione nell’ultimo decennio dei servizi per la prima infanzia in Emilia-Romagna, provando a identificare i fattori che a livello comunale incidono sull’indice di presa in carico, il presente lavoro vuole in primo luogo verificare se all’interno dei nidi per l’infanzia venga effettivamente rispettato un importante requisito organizzativo come il rapporto numerico tra educatori e bambini. Sulla base delle modifiche che la Regione Emilia-Romagna vuole apportare prima alla legge n.1/2000 che regola i servizi per la prima infanzia e successivamente alla Delibera n. 85/2012 che ne stabilisce i requisiti strutturali e organizzativi, nella parte finale del lavoro verifichiamo se e in che misura la modifica di tale standard produca un impatto positivo sui costi del personale educativo
La povertà in Emilia-Romagna negli anni della crisi
Full text linkL’obiettivo di questo lavoro è definire un profilo della povertà assoluta in Emilia-Romagna negli anni della crisi, al fine di individuare le tipologie familiari che hanno maggiore probabilità di trovarsi in tale condizione di disagio economico. Con la consapevolezza che la povertà è un fenomeno profondamente influenzato dal contesto socio-economico locale, questo lavoro, tramite un pooling di indagini campionarie IT-SILC, si propone di individuare le specifiche connotazioni della povertà in Emilia-Romagna, in un’ottica comparata rispetto ad altre regioni simili dal punto di vista socio-economico. Una buona conoscenza delle peculiarità locali e delle determinanti di un fenomeno complesso e multidimensionale quale la povertà rappresenta un indispensabile punto di partenza per la formulazione di interventi mirati in grado di contrastarla in maniera efficace

New Delivery Systems Combining Cyclodextrins and Polymers: Application to the Administration of Glutathione
No full textThe aim of this study was to characterize new nanoparticles (NPs) containing chitosan (CS), cyclodextrins (CDs) and the model peptide glutathione (GSH) [1] and to investigate their potential as carriers for the oral delivery of peptides
Effect of the three gorges dam on total suspended sediments from modis and landsat satellite data
Full text linkTotal suspended matter (TSM) concentration is an extremely important parameter for water quality definition. The aim of this work is the evaluation of the effect of the Three Gorges Dam on total suspended sediments using remote sensing data at different temporal and spatial resolutions. TSM is estimated for the middle Yangtze river, China, before and after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The retrieved values are correlated to ground daily discharge values, finding relations between the physical quantities and discharge. Then, the application of the obtained relations to the discharge dataset provides continuous daily estimations of TSM values, also covering the days for which satellite scenes were lacking. This daily dataset will allow us to estimate the annual volume of river solid sediments. According to this work, both low spatial resolution MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data and high-resolution. Landsat 5 and 7 are able to detect the changes in TSM distribution over space and time induced by the building of the Three Gorges Dam, with a variation of even 50 mg/L over summer season. The confrontation of solid discharge with daily estimated TSM values shows that the single band MODIS algorithm performs better for medium-low concentrations, while the dual-band algorithm for MODIS and the selected Landsat algorithm perform better with high concentrations
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
