La somministrazione di lavoro in Italia nel contesto europeo. Prospettive evolutive del modello di governance nei processi organizzativi di impresa
Creators: name: D'ASCENZO, Arianna

description: The present research project deals with the development of the Temporary Ageny Work sector in Italy in a comparative perspective.The assumption which the research stems from is that the theoretical framework, based on Institutional Economics, is not suitable to understand the development of the sector as well as the wider usage of temporary agency workers comparing to the past. In particular, Institutional Economics is focused on the transaction costs, which underline the exclusive economic interest of the user firm in using this type of contractual arrangement. A broader perspective has to be considered with particular reference to the implication of this particular labour contract on the firm?s organisational structure.

Disentangling Hot Jupiters formation location from their chemical composition
Creators: name: Ali-Dib, Mohamad
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use a population synthesis model that includes pebbles and gas accretion, planetary migration, and a simplified chemistry scheme to study the formation of hot-Jupiters. Models have been proposed that these planets can either originate beyond the snowline and then move inward via disk migration, or form "in-situ" inside the snowline. The goal of this work is to verify which of these two scenarios is more compatible with pebble accretion, and whether we can distinguish observationally between them via the resulting planetary C/O ratios and core masses. Our results show that, for solar system composition, the C/O ratios will vary but moderately between the two populations, since a significant amount of carbon and oxygen are locked up in refractories. In this case, we find a strong correlation between the carbon and oxygen abundances and core mass. The C/O ratio variations are more pronounced in the case where we assume that all carbon and oxygen are in volatiles. On average, Hot-Jupiters forming "in-situ" inside the snowline will have higher C/O ratios because they accrete less water ice. However, only Hot-Jupiters forming in-situ around stars with C/O=0.8 can have a C/O ratio higher than unity. We finally find that, even with fast pebble accretion, it is significantly easier to form Hot-Jupiters outside of the snowline, even if forming these "in-situ" is not impossible in the limit of the simplifying assumptions made.

Alternative binders as milestone of 3R strategy for sustainable construction materials
Creators: name: COFFETTI, Denny
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2019

description: The main challenge for concrete industry - and in general for construction materials - is to serve the two major needs of human society, the protection of the environment, on one hand, and the requirements of buildings and infrastructures by the world?s growing population, on the other. In the past concrete industry has satisfied these needs well. However, for a variety of reasons, the situation has changed dramatically in the last years. First of all, the concrete industry is the largest consumer of natural resources. Secondly, Portland cement, the binder of modern concrete mixtures, is not as environmentally friendly. The world's cement production, in fact, contributes to the earth's atmosphere about 7% of the total CO2 emissions, CO2 being one of the primary greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for global warming and climate change. As a consequence, concrete industry in the future has to face two antithetically needs. In other words, how the concrete industry can feed the growing population needs being - at the same time - sustainable? The answer to this question is represented by the ?3R-Green Strategy? widely discussed in the first chapter of this PhD thesis: Reduction in consumption of gross energy for construction materials production, Reduction in polluting emissions and Reduction in consuming not renewable natural resources. In particular, this thesis is focused on the alternative binders to Portland cement such as alkali-activated slag cements and calcium sulphoaluminate cement-based binders in order to manufacture sustainable mixtures for special applications such as repair mortars, lightweight reinforced plasters and concretes for slabs on ground. The experimental results show the feasibility of manufacturing both EN 1504-3 R3 class mortars and Portland-free concretes for jointless slabs on ground with calcium sulphoaluminate cement, supplementary cementitious materials (fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag) and hydrated lime instead of Portland cement. Moreover, alkali-activated mortars and concretes seem to be a reasonable alternative to natural hydraulic lime-based and/or traditional Portland cement-based mixtures for rehabilitation or restoration of ancient masonry buildings and existing concretes structures. Finally, a new sustainability index was developed taking into account the environmental impact, the performances and the durability of mixtures. In particular, in the environmental impact section, the natural raw materials consumption, the greenhouse gas emissions and the energy consumption have been considered. Furthermore, depending on the applications and the environments, design parameters and properties related to durability have been assigned to each mixture.

The Drift Angle Theory Applied To Ship Manoeuvring Models
Creators: name: Russell, Matthew Paul
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: A marine vehicle manoeuvring model is concerned with the ability to simulate the status of a vehicle to various demanded controls on a digital computer. Such models have both shore based and sea going applications that are beneficial to the mariner, enhance safety of life at sea and aid in protecting the marine environment The mathematical representation of marine vehicles has generally been conducted by the measurement of the forces and moments that are experienced by a vehicle, in terms of a series of numbers collectively known as hydrodynamic coefficients. This has resulted in the non-linear force modular model which is considered to be the most accurate and versatile mathematical modelling technique. This thesis presents the results from research conducted into the construction of an accurate mathematical model of a patrol craft Picket Boat Nine. The non-linear force modular modelling technique was initially adopted. The required hydrodynamic coefficients were evaluated by the use of full scale sea trials, scale model testing techniques and by semi-empirical methodologies; by the installation of a towing tank, a data monitoring and acquisition system onboard Picket Boat Nine. An alternative new method for mathematically describing marine vehicles has also been developed based upon the drift angle theory. The existence and magnitude of the drift angle has been transformed into a set of hydrodynamic curves that mathematically represent a marine vehicle's manoeuvrability and into a method of determining the track history of a marine vehicle when underway. These two components have been developed into a new form of mathematical model This new approach to mathematical modelling has been tested by full scale sea trials in Picket Boat Nine and with comparison to a force modular model that demonstrates the stature and potential of this method. The results indicate that further research is required to include external disturbances and to prove its validity to other marine vehicles.

description: Previous experimental tests of quantum contextuality based on the Bell-Kochen-Specker (BKS) theorem have demonstrated that not all observables among a given set can be assigned noncontextual eigenvalue predictions, but have never identified which specific observables must fail such assignment. We now remedy this shortcoming by showing that BKS contextuality can be confined to particular observables by pre- and postselection, resulting in anomalous weak values that we measure using modern neutron interferometry. We construct a confined contextuality witness from weak values, which we measure experimentally to obtain a $5σ$ average violation of the noncontextual bound, with one contributing term violating an independent bound by more than $99σ$. This weakly measured confined BKS contextuality also confirms the quantum pigeonhole effect, wherein eigenvalue assignments to contextual observables apparently violate the classical pigeonhole principle.

An analysis of the temporal nature of vacation decision-making using Prospect Theory

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the La Trobe Business School, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

It is in the interest of tourism providers to encourage travellers to book their holidays, flights, accommodation and so on as early as possible. Research strongly suggests that tourism consumers' decision-making and booking behaviour often involves potential and actual losses and gains. This thesis therefore examines how potential tourists make decisions about when to book, based on the marketing information they are given, while taking into consideration the risks, losses and gains involved in booking in advance or waiting until the last minute. The conceptual basis of the thesis is Prospect Theory, especially its construct framing. Framing in this context refers to the way a message is worded; a single message may be presented in different ways, and produce different responses according to its frame. Following Prospect Theory, four typical framing types have been identified. These have informed the experiments in this thesis, in particular the loss (negative) and gain (positive) aspects of the framing. Five experimental studies were undertaken, using the four frames (two studies use the same frame, but with different messages) to present tourism vignettes requiring participants to choose the loss or gain frame in each case. In all studies the frame was significant in deciding the choices. In some frames, the negative statement (e.g. If you do not book early, you will lose out) and in others, the positive statement (e.g. Book early and win) dominated the results. The findings of these studies demonstrate that the majority of tourism consumers generally have strong preferences according to how the booking information is framed, and therefore, time their travel decisions accordingly. This new research into the timing and presentation of travel booking information could form a useful basis for developing marketing communication strategies to the advantage of the tourism industry as well as to consumers. The studies in this thesis suggest ways that promotional programs can be developed so as to widen the range of possibilities for tourism marketers.

description: This paper analyses the environmentally-induced migration and displacement resulting from two earthquakes: Abruzzo (2009) and Emilia Romagna (2012). After a general critical overview of the social science literature on this topic, the main changes in the two migration systems are analysed looking at the different roots and trajectories of the forced human displacement that followed the two earthquakes. Additionally, we look at the long-run effects of earthquakes on population density growth across Italian municipalities affected by earthquakes during the period of 2002?2017. Moving from the fact that similar events may occurring in different contexts, may have different outcomes according to the specific vulnerability experienced by the territory, we assess the predisaster context and recovery period with the aim to offer a comparative analysis of the challenges related to post earthquake demographic movements and post-disaster resettlement. The goal of our paper is twofold: first, we aim to understand how the two migration systems have been influenced by the pre-existent vulnerabilities and pre-quake social and institutional backgrounds before and after the hazard. Second, we investigate the long-run effects of earthquakes on population density growth in Italy applying spatial regression models. In the analyses we will take into account the main economic trends in the earthquake?s area. Relying on ISTAT data on the internal migration in Italy, we finally offer a general model of how environmental disaster might affect displacement and suggest the main challenges related to the post-disaster governance.

Pis apr�s: la ?parola ripresa? per strutturare la conversazione famigliare in francese L2
Creators: name: K�Nig, Clelia
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2014

description: Learning a second language is a process that takes place in daily conversation and is therefore observable in its turn-by-turn unfolding during free occurring interactions. In this contribution, we present a single-case analysis of one conversational excerpt taken from the audio recordings of a German-speaking au-pair girl learning French in Switzerland. Drawing on Conversation Analysis, we address the phenomenon of back-linking (Schegloff 1996) as regards its sequential placement and the linguistic resources employed, and we then discuss the functions the L2 speaker accomplishes through it. The analysis supports the idea that everyday interactional data need to be integrated in the studies on L2 acquisition as they uncover the online deployment of linguistic, as well as action resources. These, we argue, help us better understand the concept of L2 interactional competence and, more generally, the process of L2 acquisition.
Data fusion for air quality mapping using sensor data: feasibility and added-value through an application in Nantes

description: The recent technological developments and the increased interest for public information lead to a fast-growing use of microsensors for air quality monitoring. Measurement campaigns are conducted to assess the potential of these low-cost instruments by deploying fixed sensors (e.g. on top of buildings, street lights or reference stations) and/or mobile sensors (e.g. on top of cars, bikes, or carried by citizens). These experiments allow to measure pollutant concentrations at high resolution in space and time. The large amount of collected information offers new opportunities of developments in air quality modelling and mapping. This work aims to take the best of these sensors despite the related measurement uncertainty to produce urban air pollution maps at fine spatial and temporal resolution. A geostatistical methodology (data fusion) is presented, which uses sensor observations as well as dispersion model outputs. It is applied to PM10 data in the French city of Nantes. It involves new challenges such as the consideration of the quick change of the sensor location if it is mobile, the temporal variability of the measurements, the analysis of numerous and heterogeneous data, the spatial representativeness of the measurements and the measurement uncertainties. Also, efforts still need to be done on the sampling design to ensure appropriate spatial coverage of the considered domain and get more accurate estimates.

description: This study investigates the conceptualisations of SHARM in Persian adopting the frameworks of Cultural Linguistics and corpus linguistics. The emotion of SHARM in Persian is found to be different from the concept of shame in English, although some similarities exist. As an instance, SHARM is conceptualised as a pleasant emotion accompanied by some other positive emotions such as joy and excitement, which does not seem to have a counterpart in English. The study holds significance and implication for a variety of domains including inter-cultural communication, translation and interpretation studies, psychology and counselling, and language learning and teaching.

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by creative work to the School of Humanities, College of Theatre and Drama, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis presents a study of the main companies in the Melbourne theatre community 1980 to 2010. It is offered in two parts, a conventional scholarly thesis and a complete creative work (a play text and its production by a major theatre company). The doctoral thesis provides three research foci: a historical account, a systemic overview, and a creative artwork. The author approaches independent theatre in Melbourne in the period through his own practice-led involvement in the making of theatre. The thesis presents a chronological narrative of independent and mainstream theatre in Melbourne over three decades. Chapters one to four identify important companies, artists and productions in those years and place them within the context of infrastructure and institutional change. It draws on primary and secondary sources to compile this history, and includes extensive interviews with key practitioners. The research material is original and, by combining a range of theoretical perspectives, provides a comprehensive overview of its subject matter. Chapters five to eight identify structural homologies, emerging taxonomies and recurring patterns relating to the development of select independent companies in the period. The thesis models the structural relationships between these companies and the networks formed by these relationships. This historical and theoretical analysis is accompanied by the final production copy of my play script, The Joy of Text, as commissioned, developed and produced by Melbourne Theatre Company 2009 to 2011.

description: The quantum anomalous Hall effect, an exotic topological state first theoretically predicted by Haldane and recently experimentally observed, has attracted enormous interest for low-power-consumption electronics. In this work, we derived a Schr{ö}dinger-like equation of phonons, where topology-related quantities, time reversal symmetry and its breaking can be naturally introduced similar as for electrons. Furthermore, we proposed a phononic analog of the Haldane model, which gives the novel quantum (anomalous) Hall-like phonon states characterized by one-way gapless edge modes immune to scattering. The topologically nontrivial phonon states are useful not only for conducting phonons without dissipation but also for designing highly efficient phononic devices, like an ideal phonon diode, which could find important applications in future phononics.

In this context, control charts, developed to monitor and maintain quality in industrial processes, are a useful monitoring and decision tool. In this paper, the behavior of an agro-metereological variable, named evapotranspiration, in an area of the northern part of Italy during a 25-year span (from 1992 to 2016) is studied through a nonparametric spatio-temporal geostatistical analysis and multiple CUSUM control charts. In particular, the probability that the variable registers an ?out of control? is estimated over the area of interest, for three decades from the 10th to the 30th of January 2017.

description: The interactions of fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS)-derived pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and immune cells support the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells in RA. Here, we show for the first time that the classical myokine myostatin (GDF-8) is involved in the recruitment of Th17 cells to inflammatory sites thereby regulating joint inflammation in a mouse model of TNFalpha-mediated chronic arthritis. Mechanistically, myostatin-deficiency leads to decreased levels of the chemokine CCL20 which is associated with less infiltration of Th17 cells into the inflamed joints. In vitro, myostatin alone or in combination with IL-17A enhances the secretion of CCL20 by FLS whereas myostatin-deficiency reduces CCL20 secretion, associated with an altered transmigration of Th17 cells. Thus, the communication between activated FLS and Th17 cells through myostatin and IL-17A may likely contribute to a vicious cycle of inflammation, accounting for the persistence of joint inflammation in chronic arthritis. Blockade of the CCL20–CCR6 axis by inhibition of myostatin may, therefore, be a promising treatment option for chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

description: We investigate the first-order theory of closed subspaces of complex Hilbert spaces in the signature $(\lor,\perp,0,1)$, where `$\perp$' is the orthogonality relation. Our main result is that already its quasi-identities are undecidable: there is no algorithm to decide whether an implication between equations and orthogonality relations implies another equation. This is a corollary of a recent result of Slofstra in combinatorial group theory. It follows upon reinterpreting that result in terms of the hypergraph approach to quantum contextuality, for which it constitutes a proof of the inverse sandwich conjecture. It can also be interpreted as stating that a certain quantum satisfiability problem is undecidable.

Voice is central to the conceptualisation of this thesis, and the location of the researcher in this inquiry, in aiming to find an approach that listens, reflects and respects the words of the girls, as well as the researcher’s own positions throughout the course of the dissertation. Much has been written about the importance of educating girls, particularly in the African continent, but little has been heard from the mouths of the girls who have been the objects of research and policy. In attempting to fill this gap in knowledge, a series of interviews was conducted in 2007 with 30 girls and 30 boys in Grades 2, 5 and 8 in their respective school locations in Kenya and Zambia. The girls spoke of themes of family, school, the future, self, trust and gender roles.Their voices were placed in the context of broader themes of education, post colonialism, gender and feminism, identity, and negotiation. All of the children expressed an unequivocal enjoyment of going to school, whilst trust in their teachers, and a desire to extend their educational journeys rated highly. A unique finding of the research was that mothers were trusted, but mothers and female care givers work, both domestic and economic, was not necessarily valued. This suggests that gender roles, as seen in the context of the researched locations, need to be considered in more depth to understand the complexities of the worlds of African children. Differences are also shown between the geographical locations, age groups and genders with respect to the understanding of gender roles. In order to prioritise the girls’ voices it was found that the research was best approached through a narrative inquiry methodology.

Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli nel rinnovamento missionario
Creators: name: CONTE, Emilio

description: Nel corso del primo decennio del XX secolo si svilupp� un intenso dibattito concernente lo status teorico e pratico delle missioni cattoliche. La Chiesa romana, dopo secoli caratterizzati perlopi� da iniziative di privati od in capo agli stati nazionali, con rilevanti conseguenze anche sulla limpidezza del messaggio missionario, decise di sussumersi l?organizzazione di tutta l?attivit� missionaria mondiale, accentrando presso di s� una serie di istituti chiave, primo fra tutti l?Opera della propagazione della fede. A capo del consiglio nazionale italiano dell?Opera venne posto un giovane sacerdote, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, che ebbe modo di saggiare non solo la nuova pratica missionaria, ma anche e soprattutto il rinnovamento teologico che ne era alla base. Il futuro pontefice fece suoi i principali concetti della nuova missionologia, espressi anche dalla Maximum illud di Benedetto XV: spezzare il binomio creatosi tra nazionalismo e cattolicesimo, esacerbato soprattutto dopo la Prima guerra mondiale, evitare che gli ordini missionari gestissero i luoghi di missione come loro stretta propriet� e, infine, lavorare per formare un solido clero indigeno, che potesse anche valorizzare le culture locali. I concetti appresi e meditati in un quadriennio di lavoro accompagneranno Roncalli nei due successivi incarichi in Bulgaria e Turchia-Grecia. Questi incarichi, seppure sulla carta strettamente diplomatici, vengono riletti nel presente studio sulla base di una peculiare attenzione pastorale che nel delegato apostolico non venne mai meno: la tesi di fondo � quella secondo cui la diplomazia di Roncalli sia una forma particolare di diplomazia missionaria. Facendo ricorso a fonti inedite, vengono analizzati gli sforzi del delegato apostolico per mettere in atto punto per punto i cardini della nuova missionologia: un qualcosa che peraltro non sarebbe stata di stretta sua pertinenza, ma che un modo peculiare di interpretare la diplomazia in Roncalli pone ugualmente in essere.
Electron interactions, spin-orbit coupling, intersite correlations in pyrochlore iridates

description: We perform combined density functional and dynamical mean-field calculations to study the pyrochlore iridates Lu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, Y$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ and Eu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$. Both single-site and cluster dynamical mean-field calculations are performed and spin-orbit coupling is included. Paramagnetic metallic phases, antiferromagnetic metallic phases with tilted Weyl cones and antiferromagnetic insulating phases are found. The magnetic phases display all-in/all-out magnetic ordering, consistent with previous studies. Unusually for electronically three dimensional materials, the single-site dynamical mean-field approximation fails to reproduce qualitative material trends, predicting in particular that the paramagnetic phase properties of Y$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ and Eu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ are almost identical, although in experiments the Y compound has a much higher resistance than the Eu compound. This qualitative failure is attributed to the importance of intersite magnetic correlations in the physics of these materials.

description: In community ecology studies the goal is to evaluate the effect of environmental covariates on a response variable while investigating the nature unobserved heterogeneity. We focus on onefactor mixed models in a Bayesian setting and introduce an intuitive Penalized Complexity (PC) prior to balance the variance components of the model. We start with the simple one-way anova and discuss extension to spatially structured residuals, following a Matern exponential covariance.

description: This paper studies the impact of dollar store entry on independent grocery retailers using establishment-level data for the United States from 2000 to 2019. We exploit the unique spatial and temporal features of our dataset to estimate the causal e ects of dollar store exposure on the economic outcomes of independent grocery retailers. Our main results show that independent grocery retailers are 2.3 percent more likely to exit after dollar store entry, with a ected grocery retailers experiencing an employment reduction of 3.7 percent and lower sales of 5.7 percent. In addition, we show that the exit probability of independent grocery retailers is almost three times larger in rural than urban communities. After dollar store entry, retail employment decreases by 7.1 percent, while sales fall by 9.2 percent for independent grocery retailers in rural census tracts. Finally, event studies show that the response of independent grocery retailers to dollar store entry is delayed, with the exit probability being indi erent from zero one year after dollar store entry. Those adverse entry effects are more pronounced and persistent in rural communities, re ecting increased exit rates, higher job losses, and consistently depressed sales among independent grocery retailers.
The internationalization of emerging market firms: motivations and approaches
Creators: name: CORTESI, Elena

description: In spite of the growing international presence of companies from different emerging economies, most studies on firms internationalization are still grounded in the paradigms of Western countries. Most of them refer only to outward-oriented activities and do not take into account the so-called inward internationalization. It seems then important to analyze more in-depth these two issues with particular reference to the context of an emerging economy such as the one of China. The determination of Chinese firms to address their initial international competitive weaknesses, and the strategies they employ to do so, appear to have been inadequately recognized in literature that remains too wedded to the thesis that internationalization proceeds on the basis of prior competitive advantage (Child and Rodriguez, 2005). This traditional view in fact gives insufficient weight to the role of both ?inward? and ?outward? internationalization in addressing competitive disadvantages through learning and asset acquisition. The purpose of this study is to analyze the unique motivations and routes to internationalization among private owned Chinese firms. Using a qualitative methodology based on multiple case studies, the research will contribute to existing literature by combining some elements of the mainstream theories on the field of IB with a new perspective emerging from the analysis of Chinese private-owned firms routes to internationalization. The opportunity for an extension of the existing theoretical frameworks will be considered. The present work will also lead to a better understanding of their competitive position and relationships with foreigners within the international context.
Un codice agli elementi finiti discontinui per flussi di miscele gassose

description: Scopo della presente tesi � lo studio del comportamento del metodo numerico degli elementi finiti discontinui applicato a problemi di fluidodinamica multicomponente. Dato l?incremento delle prestazioni dei moderni calcolatori, le simulazioni numeriche sono diventate uno strumento potente e, ormai, irrinunciabile nello studio e nella progettazione di problemi di valore ingegneristico; tra questi una grande sfida � rappresentata dalla combustione, in cui due sono gli ingredienti essenziali: simulare come le diverse specie chimiche si mescolino tra loro e successivamente come quest?ultime possano bruciare. In questo lavoro si � posta l?attenzione sul primo aspetto, cercando di affrontarlo numericamente con una tecnica innovativa, rappresentata dall?utilizzo di elementi finiti, in cui la soluzione nel dominio di calcolo venga approssimata da funzioni a tratti, continue all?interno del singolo elemento spaziale, in generale di carattere polinomiale, ma in cui non sia richiesta la continuit� globale; di conseguenza la soluzione risulta discontinua all?interfaccia tra gli elementi. La mancanza di costrizione sulla continuit� globale della soluzione garantisce una grande flessibilit�, e, di fatto, la principale ragione per cui il metodo venga studiato con grande interesse e per cui lo si stia cercando di estendere ad un numero maggiore di applicazioni. La seguente ricerca ha permesso di porre le basi per confermarne la validit� anche in situazioni in cui diverse specie chimiche possano miscelarsi tra loro, sia in griglie strutturate che in quelle non strutturate, per geometrie bidimensionali sia piane che assialsimmetriche. In pi� il metodo, caratterizzato da formule di discretizzazione spaziali molto compatte, � stato valorizzato, soprattutto, con uno schema di avanzamento temporale di tipo implicito, in cui notevoli sono stati i vantaggi computazionali. In questo testo sono presenti utili basi e riferimenti per successive attivit� di ricerca nel settore, eventualmente mirabili, in particolar modo, all?estensione del metodo numerico a situazioni di fluidodinamica reattiva.
