description: Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine prüfungsrelevante Hausarbeit zur Erlangung des Philosophikums (Philosophisches Begleitstudium) der Universität Ulm. --- Der Begriff der Gerechtigkeit nach Platon (Politeia) ist, dass jeder das Seinige tut und hat. In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, wie Platon zu dieser Formel kommt und sie für Mensch und Staat gleichermaßen aufbaut. Des Weiteren wird versucht, diese Gerechtigkeitsdefinition auf die heutige Zeit zu übertragen.
Developing a coordinated Canadian post-secondary surveillance system: a Delphi survey to identify measurement priorities for the Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey (CCWS)

description: Background: Interventions that promote health and wellbeing among young adults are needed. Such interventions, however, require measurement tools that support intervention planning, monitoring and evaluation. The primary purpose of this study is to describe the process in developing a framework for a Canadian post-secondary health surveillance tool known as the Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey (CCWS). Methods: Nineteen health service providers or mental health experts from 5 Canadian provinces participated in a 3-round Delphi survey by email and an in-person roundtable meeting to identify wellbeing and health behavior measurement priorities and indicators for the CCWS. Results: The final CCWS framework consisted of 9 core sections: mental health assets, student experience, mental health deficits, health service utilization/help seeking, physical health/health behaviors, academic achievement, substance use, nutrition, and sexual health behavior. Panelists generally agreed on a set of indicators, and reached consensus for at least one indicator per core section. Conclusion: This CCWS framework is the first step in developing a common surveillance mechanism tailored to the Canadian postsecondary context. Future work will include online consultation with health service providers from a broader range of post-secondary institutions, an in-person meeting with research and measurement experts to finalize survey items, and formative testing. The CCWS will play a valuable role in developing population health initiatives targeting the increasing number of young Canadians attending postsecondary institutions.

Feinstaub

description: Ein Feuerwerk ist schön anzusehen. Es hat aber auch negative Seiten: Verbrennungen, Augenverletzungen und Hörschädigungen, Explosionsschäden und andere Sachschäden an Fahrzeugen und Gebäuden, der Eintrag von Plastik in die Umwelt, enorme Müllmengen, verängstigte Haustiere sowie ökologische Schäden und die Störung von Wildtieren. Jährlich werden rund 4.200 Tonnen Feinstaub (PM10 ) durch das Abbrennen von Feuerwerkskörpern frei gesetzt, der größte Teil davon in der Silvesternacht. Diese Menge entspricht in etwa 25 Prozent der jährlich durch Holzfeuerungen und ca. zwei Prozent der gesamt freigesetzten Feinstaubmenge in Deutschland. Die Broschüre zeigt anhand aktueller Auswertungen von Luftdaten, dass am ersten Tag des neuen Jahres die Luftbelastung mit gesundheitsgefährdendem Feinstaub vielerorts so hoch ist, wie sonst im ganzen Jahr nicht. Zudem fasst sie alle relevanten Wirkungen des Feuerwerks auf Mensch und Umwelt zusammen. Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de

description: Vinigrol was isolated in 1987 from the fungal strain Virgaria nigra F-5408 by Hashimoto and co-workers. This compound was identified as having antihypertensive and platelet aggregation properties as well as being recognized as a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor. Aside from its interesting biological activities, vinigrol also possesses a unique structural motif consisting in a decahydro-1,5-butanonaphthalene core decorated with 8 contiguous stereocenters. Despite synthetic efforts by many research groups since its isolation, it wasn’t until 2009 that the first total synthesis of vinigrol was reported by Baran and co-workers. Herein is presented a formal synthesis of this highly compact molecule which relies upon a highly diastereoselective ketal Claisen rearrangement as the stereodefining step and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to access the tricyclic structure of the molecule. (+)-Digitoxigenin is a cardiac glycoside used in the treatment of many ailments such as congestive heart failure. It is a member of the cardenolides, a sub-type of steroid containing certain structural differences such as cis A/B and C/D ring junctions, a tertiary hydroxyl group at C14 and a butenolide substituent at C17. Although a few syntheses of this class of compounds have been reported, general strategies to access their framework is scarce. Herein we report our studies towards the total synthesis of digitoxigenin which rely upon a cascading gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization (or enyne metathesis)/Diels-Alder reaction.

description: We construct and analyse a u-band selected galaxy sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Southern Survey, which covers 275 deg 2. The sample includes 43 223 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the range 0.005 < z < 0.3 and with 14.5 < u < 20.5 . The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio in the u-band Petrosian aperture is improved by co-adding multiple epochs of imaging data and by including sky-subtraction corrections. Luminosity functions for the near-UV 0.1u band (λ≈ 322 ± 26 nm) are determined in redshift slices of width 0.02, which show a highly significant evolution in M* of −0.8 ± 0.1 mag between z= 0 and 0.3; with M*−5 log h70=−18.84 ± 0.05 (AB mag), log φ*=−2.06 ± 0.03 (h 3 70 Mpc−3) and log ρL= 19.11 ± 0.02 (h70 W Hz−1 Mpc−3) at z= 0.1 . The faint-end slope determined for z < 0.06 is given by α=−1.05 ± 0.08 . This is in agreement with recent determinations from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer at shorter wavelengths. Comparing our z < 0.3 luminosity density measurements with 0.2 < z < 1.2 from Classifying Objects by Medium Band Observations in 17 Filters (COMBO-17), we find that the 280-nm density evolves as ρL∝ (1 +z)β with β= 2.1 ± 0.2 ; and find no evidence for any change in slope over this redshift range. By comparing with other measurements of cosmic star formation history, we estimate that the effective dust attenuation at 280 nm has increased by 0.8 ± 0.3 mag between z= 0 and 1.

description: The cohesion pressure of a real gas is considered to be caused by the collision interaction of the gas molecules. The collision duration time of two molecules is taken not to be zero but being of finite value ? This time of collision duration is calculated according to the collision theory of Heinrich Hertz. This leads to a new calculation of the cohesion pressure of the gas which is compared with the van der Waals a-constant. The comparison shows an equivalence of both descriptions of the cohesion pressure for gases consisting of molecules with spherical symmetry. Deviations from spherical symmetry are discussed. The new description doesn"t need the assumption of intermolecular attractive forces for particles with spherical symmetry.
Ablation of Progenitor Cells Does Not Impede Motor Recovery or Diminish Cognitive Function Following a Focal Cortical Stroke

description: Following a stroke there is a significant increase in the number and migration of progenitor cells (PCs) to the infarct, and positive correlations between neurogenesis and recovery. Loss-of-function studies have conflicting findings on whether the ablation of PCs impedes motor or cognitive function post-stroke. This thesis examines if neurogenesis per se is required for motor recovery and spatial learning and memory. PCs were ablated in an adult GFAP-TK rat model that allows for the inducible deletion of GFAP-expressing PCs in the brain. An endothelin-1 (ET-1) stroke was produced and assessment of motor function and spatial learning and memory revealed no differences between control and GFAP-TK rats in which PCs were ablated. This study is the first to use a focal cortical stroke model in a rat to study PCs and stroke recovery, and suggest that PCs and their progeny are dispensable for motor recovery and spatial learning and memory post-stroke.

A Driver Fatigue Monitoring and Haptic Jacket-based Warning System
Creators: name: Azmi, Niloufar
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2012

description: Driver fatigue is a major factor in most traffic accidents. This issue has increased the urgency for in-vehicle collision avoidance systems relying on proper driver fatigue detection and warning technologies. Computer vision approaches have been of much interest due to their non-invasive nature for detecting drowsiness. In addition, increased effort has been dedicated to the design of safety systems that warn drivers of various types of collisions. How these systems alert the sleepy drivers when integrated, however, is a crucial component to their effectiveness. A nonintrusive method is proposed in this thesis as a feasible solution to accurately detect fatigue levels and perfectly produce timely warnings. Fatigue progression over time is quantified to more accurate fatigue levels according to reliable PERCLOS measurements in a continuous LBP + SVM based eye state recognition process. Given the quantized fatigue levels, a novel haptic jacket-based alerting scheme is provided to safely convey varying criticality signals. Drivers would have the option to customize haptic jacket settings for the preferred type of feedback perception. This thesis reviews existing approaches, details the proposed system, and finally presents system performance evaluation and usability studies.
Do external shocks have a permanent or a transitory effect on Thailand's tourism industry?

description: Given the number and the frequency of external shocks encountered by Thailand in the last two decades, this study identifies the number and the location of the breaks and tests to determine whether the breaks have a transitory or a permanent effect on international tourist arrivals to Thailand for its top 10 source countries using both univariate and panel unit root tests with structural breaks. The findings suggest that break dates coincide with the Asian financial crisis, the September 11 attack, and the SARS and the bird flu outbreaks. The univariate unit root tests with structural breaks reject the null hypothesis of a nonstationarity in tourist arrivals from all countries. Furthermore, panel unit root tests with one and two structural breaks also reject the joint null hypothesis of a nonstationarity. These findings imply that external shocks have only a transitory effect on tourist arrivals and Thailand's tourism sector will return to its long-run equilibrium path.

Subjects: subject: Biography.

description: This thesis examines Carl Jung's autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Within this text the reader is provided with rich and profound insights into the life of Carl Gustav Jung. This document sheds enormous light on the personality of one of this century's most important figures in the world of psychology and religion. For a generation after Jung's death, scholars have depended almost exclusively on Memories, Dreams, Reflections for their biographical facts about Jung. This text is invaluable for data about his early childhood, and vital for the description of the catastrophic break with Freud. While the autobiography is a summary of the whole of Jung's life, this work examines that life with an eye to the early years in the vicarage. The writer has a special interest in exploring Jung's relationship to his father, the Reverend Paul Jung, a kinship not only vital and revealing but to this point in time, a relationship which has been largely ignored. To date there has been little data available on the Reverend Paul Jung, and even less research on his influence upon his son, Carl. Within this dissertation the reader will discover new information, fresh insights into Jung's father and his lasting influence upon his quite remarkable son. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Studies of the kinetics of cluster redistribution in carbon trichloride monofluoride vapours.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Inorganic.

description: A shock tube coupled to a laser-schlieren detection system in conjunction with computer simulation was used to study the formation of small clusters in nearly saturated Freon-11 vapour. When a shock wave passed through Freon-11 vapour a temperature and pressure jump was produced. A new equilibrium cluster distribution at the new temperature and pressure was reached by formation and stabilization of clusters, this being an exothermic reaction. This process is accompanied by a temperature and density change. The laser-schlieren technique records a signal proportional to the density gradient. In the experimental studies the initial pressure of CCl$\sb3$F was varied from 26 mm Hg to 762 mm Hg and the speed of the shock wave was changed from 141.1 m/s to 320.7 m/s. Several carefully chosen gases (Ar, CH$\sb4$, CCl$\sb4$ and SF$\sb6$) were used for comparison studies. The time scale for the observed process was 10-100 $\mu$s. Characteristic of bond formation, the observed process displayed a negative activation energy suggesting a strong competition between cluster formation, dissociation and stabilization. Oscillatory signals were observed in those cases where the initial pressure was high, the postshock temperature was low and the postshock pressure was high. It was found that the oscillatory signal was biperiodic at an early stage. Then this oscillatory signal became a chaotic one. The experimentally reproducible chaotic signals are proof that the processes occurring in our system are nonlinear kinetic processes. A computational model for the rate of formation of clusters (cluster size 5) based on the scheme $\rm A\sb{n-1} + A = A\sbsp{n}{*}$ and $\rm A\sbsp{n}{*} + M = A\sb{n} + M$ was built and constrained by experimental observation, thermodynamics and nonlinear kinetics. With the help of computer simulation it was confirmed that the negative signal observed is caused by the cluster formation process followed by exothermic cluster collisional stabilization. The oscillation is a direct result of thermal feedback affecting the equilibrium cluster distribution.
Optical properties of two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures: Ion implantation and carrier diffusion.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: For the most part of this work, we study the effects of focused ion beam implantation in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structures. The technique of steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopy is utilized to study the compositional disordering occurring in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structures having been implanted at different doses and subsequently annealed. Photoluminescence results of uniformly implanted regions of InGaAs/GaAs samples are along with a simple formalism permitting the calculation of the interdiffusion lengths. These results, along with SIMS measurements, show that channeling effects play a most important role in disordering quantum wells that lie deep beneath the sample's surface. The observations also show a photoluminescence shift saturation with dose at approximately 2 $\times$ 10$\sp $ Ga$\sp{+}$/cm$\sp2$. Results of pattern-implanted samples give rise to the question of the minimum dose required to induce uniform compositional disordering in InGaAs/GaAs structures. Studies of this "critical" dose, are presented for both AlGaAs/GaAs and InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structures and show that the minimum dose required to induce intermixing in InGaAs/GaAs is approximately two orders of magnitude lower than that observed for the AlGaAs/GaAs structures which was 2 $\times$ 10$\sp $ Bi$\sp{+}$/cm$\sp2$. As another major part of this work, we describe a novel, low light level optical detection system that can be easily configured for various modes of operation. These include (1) time-integrated (steady-state) photoluminescence spectroscopy, (2) transient, spectrally gated photoluminescence decay, (3) time-windowed photoluminescence spectroscopy, (4) two-dimensional, time-integrated photoluminescence mapping, and (5) time-resolved, two-dimensional photoluminescence mapping with time resolution of ${\sim}$100 ps. We use the system in mode (5) to study electron-hole pair expansion in GaAs quantum wells as a function of temperature for a fixed excitation intensity. The results show that the diffusion coefficient rises from an initial value of 26 cm$\sp2$/s at 80 K to 38 cm$\sp2$/s at ${\sim}$100 K and then monotonically decreases to a value of ${\sim}$10 cm$\sp2$/s at room temperature. The rise in the diffusion coefficient is attributable to the gradual decrease of interface roughness scattering with increasing temperature while the decrease of the diffusion coefficient is attributable to the increase of phonon scattering mechanisms with increasing temperature. Results of diffusion at fixed temperature, but as a function of excitation intensity, are also presented and discussed.

description: The worlds industrialised nations have accumulated a wealth of assets in the form of buildings, infrastructure and other durable goods. These assets constitute a valuable reservoir of secondary raw materials. This "anthropogenic material stockŁ should be understood as a future capital stock that must be systematically managed and exploited. Yet this capital stock has hitherto been largely ignored in discussions on resource efficiency, which instead have focused on inputs of primary raw materials. This is partly due to insufficient knowledge of the size and constitution of this material stock as well as its dynamics. Therefore, a project was set up by Germanys Federal Environment Agency to provide the missing information. Project results offer a comprehensive view of material stocks, inflows and outflows connected to durable goods. Thus we note an annual per capitagrowth in Germanys anthropogenic material stock of 10 t. In the last 50 years an estimated 42 billion tons of material has been added to the anthropogenic stock. Not all of this can be classified to primary groups of goods. Around 28 million tons of material has been consumed by buildings, infrastructure, building services as well as durable consumer goods. Of this figure, over 99% can be located in the built environment. This mass is approximately 79 times larger than the material mass currently consumed every year by these sectors. Annual outflow from the stock is around 0.8%. The annual rate of growth of the observed stock of goods is 0.5%. The various figures can be further broken down according to individual groups of goods and material groups. This knowledge provides the necessary foundation for the long-term monitoring of the anthropogenic stock and, moreover, is an important step in the evidence-based development of a model to incorporate and to improve closed-loop material flows as well as to support politics of securing supply of raw materials.Quelle: http://www.sciencedirect.com
Coaches' instruction provided to female ice hockey players during games.

Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.

description: The interaction between coaches and their athletes has been investigated by researchers in sport pedagogy over the last 20 years (Pieron, 1994). The majority of these studies have used systematic observation techniques to gain insight into the behavior of coaches during games and/or practices. Although studies on coaches' behaviors have provided a portrait of how coaches intervene (e.g., Trudel & Cote, 1994), information on the subject matter being taught by coaches is relatively new. The importance of including the subject matter in the study of teaching was underlined by Shulman (1986). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the content of coaches' instruction provided to female ice hockey players (12-15 yrs.) during games. More specifically, the questions to be answered were: (a) What was the content of instruction? (b) When was the instruction given? and (c) How was the instruction communicated to the player(s)? A unique coding system was developed in order to answer these questions. Although the results revealed differences between cases, and even variability between games within the same case, many similarities emerged between coaches. The coaches in the present study referred to emphasize team tactics, over individual tactics, individual techniques, and rules. Many of the interventions by the coaches were short duration prompts, communicated while the play was in progress. The relatively low percentage of specific information given to players during games indicates that the coaches did not fully utilise opportunities arising in games to instruct players.
Advanced architectures for astrophysical supercomputing

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores the substantial benefits offered to astronomy research by advanced 'many-core' computing architectures, which can provide up to ten times more computing power than traditional processors. It begins by analysing the computations that are best suited to massively parallel computing and advocates a powerful, general approach to the use of many-core devices. These concepts are then put into practice to develop a fast data processing pipeline, with which new science outcomes are achieved in the field of pulsar astronomy, including the discovery of a new star. The work demonstrates how technology originally developed for the consumer market can now be used to accelerate the rate of scientific discovery.
Isolation and characterization of nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis from bean sprouts.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Microbiology.

description: Bacterial isolates from bean-sprouts were screened for anti-Listeria monocytogenes bacteriocins using a well-diffusion method. Thirty-four isolates inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes. Ten strains, which produced the biggest zones of inhibition, were characterized. One strain, isolate 80, which exhibited the strongest inhibition against L. monocytogenes, was selected for subsequent in-depth analysis. Both ribotyping and DNA sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA demonstrated that the isolate was Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. Primary characterization showed that the anti-L. monocytogenes compound was proteinaceous and the antimicrobial effects were not caused by pH, a phage or $\rm H\sb2O\sb2,$ indicating that it was a bacteriocin. A plasmid cured derivative of isolate 32 was obtained. This plasmid-free strain still produced a bacteriocin, and had the same antibiotic resistance pattern as the wild type strain, indicating that the antibiotic resistance and bacteriocin genes were most likely to be chromosomally mediated. These bacteriocin-producing isolates produced nisin Z. Tests indicate that lactic acid starter cultures, possibly in combination with other hurdles, can be used to control the growth of L. monocytogenes in fresh-cut vegetables.

description: This paper introduces a machinery called attributed top-down parsing automaton which performs top-down parsing of strings and simultaneously the evaluation of arbitrary noncircular attribute grarnrnars. The strategy of the machinery is based on a single depth-first left-to-right traversal over the syntax tree. There is no need to traverse parts of the syntax tree more than once, and hence, the syntax tree itself does not have to be maintained. Attribute values are stored in a graph component, and values of attributes which are needed but not yet computed are represented by particular nodes.

description: Poiché anche nel nostro Paese si rintraccia oggi una discreta presenza di bambini/e adottati di origine straniera, mi propongo, in questo articolo, di analizzare la situazione del bambino/a (ragazzo/a) in adozione internazionale dal punto di vista della Pedagogia interculturale e di esplicitare i motivi per cui questa
scelta può essere particolarmente utile sia nella nostra capacità di individuare e precisare i bisogni, caratteristiche e aspettative dell’infanzia che si trova in situazione di adozione, sia per capire quali possano essere gli interventi e gli strumenti più adeguati che gli attori in scena (genitori, parenti, amici, operatori sociali, ecc.) potrebbero mettere in atto.

The author analyses the situation from the point of view of intercultural pedagogy.

description: Questa indagine nasce dagli spunti e dalle elaborazioni di una precedente ricerca, svolta sul territorio di Casalecchio di Reno, in provincia di Bologna, nell’anno scolastico 2001/02, rivolta agli alunni immigrati e Rom, e finalizzata a fornire una prima panoramica generale sul loro inserimento scolastico. In continuità con questa prima indagine, che nonostante alcune “zone d’ombra” ha presentato dati positivi, il Comune di Casalecchio di Reno ha promosso un ulteriore approfondimento finalizzato a raccogliere e sistematizzare dati e informazioni, percezioni e rappresentazioni, sul vissuto degli alunni stranieri e/o Rom, e sul loro percorso di integrazione sociale.

Following on from this first survey, Casalecchio town council has endorsed a further study to collect and analyse data and information regarding the experiences of foreign and /or Rom pupils and their social integration

Rethinking the Welcome: Which pedagogical models for new planning.
Creators: name: Zanetti, Federica
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2009

description: La riflessione di tipo pedagogico-educativo, che interessa coloro che sono stati coinvolti direttamente o indirettamente nei “viaggi” dell’accoglienza temporanea, nasce da un progetto che ha avuto il suo avvio nell’estate del 2003. Il progetto di monitoraggio dell’accoglienza di bambini stranieri in Emilia Romagna, proposto
dal Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Educazione dell’Università degli Studi di Bologna, si inserisce nell’ambito del più ampio programma di accoglienza di bambini palestinesi, Saharawi, bielorussi e serbi, promosso dalla Regione Emilia Romagna, Servizio Politiche Europee e Relazioni Internazionali.

This monitoring project, proposed by he Department of Educational Science at the University of Bologna is part of a larger project for hosting Palestinian, Byelorussian, Saharawi and Serbian children organised by the European and International Relations Service of the Emilia Romagna region.
Quanto contano le donne se non sono contate?
How much do women count if they not counted?
Creators: name: Taddia, Federica
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2009

description: La situazione delle donne nel mondo è caratterizzata da numerose ingiustizie e violazioni dei più basilari diritti sanciti dalla Dichiarazione Universale dei diritti dell’uomo e ogni cultura è potenzialmente intrisa di forme di discriminazioni nei loro confronti. Tale situazione è la conseguenza di tradizioni antiche che l’educazione differenziata implicita ha promosso per lungo tempo attraverso modelli culturali. Tuttavia se si vogliono superare le disparità e conferire empowerment alle donne, si deve partire proprio dalle istituzioni educative ed in particolare da quella scolastica, attraverso un approccio interculturale alla educazione, ovvero un approccio che fa riferimento alla pedagogia attiva e a metodologie di analisi, di scoperta, di scambio e di valorizzazione tipiche della animazione socio educativa.
description: The condition of women throughout the world is marked by countless injustices and violations of the most fundamental rights established by the Universal Declaration of human rights and every culture is potentially prone to commit discrimination against women in various forms. Women are worse fed, more exposed to physical violence, more exposed to diseases and less educated; they have less access to, or are excluded from, vocational training paths; they are the most vulnerable among prisoners of conscience, refugees and immigrants and the least considered within ethnic minorities; from their very childhood, women are humiliated, undernourished, sold, raped and killed; their work is generally less paid compared to men’s work and in some countries they are victims of forced marriages. Such condition is the result of old traditions that implicit gender-differentiated education has long promoted through cultural models based on theories, practices and policies marked by discrimination and structured differentially for men and women. Within these cultural models, the basic educational institutions have played and still play a major role in perpetuating such traditions. Nevertheless, if we want to overcome inequalities and provide women with empowerment, we have to start right from the educational institutions and in particular from school, through the adoption of an intercultural approach to education: an approach based on active pedagogy and on methods of analysis, exchange and enhancement typical of socio-educational animation. The intercultural approach to education is attentive to promote the realisation of each individual and the dignity and right of everyone to express himself/herself in his/her own way. Such an approach will give women the opportunity to become actual agents of collective change and to get the strength and wellbeing necessary to count and be counted as human beings entitled to freedom and equality, and to have access to all the rights set out in Declarations, Covenants and Conventions.

Risk disclosure practices: their determinants and association with bank performance
Creators: name: Nahar, Shamsun
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In an attempt to redress in part the empirical scarcity in risk disclosure studies in developing countries, this study is the first to provide knowledge of corporate risk disclosure practices, their determinants and firm performance. The study fills a gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive and longitudinal study of corporate risk disclosure information in banks’ annual reports in Bangladesh. The Risk Disclosure Index, developed in this study, contributes to the literature by quantifying the extent of risk disclosure and identifying the factors determining them. Stakeholders, particularly depositors and investors, can use this Index in selecting their bank of interest.
I servizi interculturali delle biblioteche pubbliche: un’esigenza per la nuova realtà sociale italiana.
Intercultural facilities in public libraries: requirements for the social makeup of contemporary Italy.

description: Anche l’Italia negli ultimi decenni si è trasformata da paese d’emigrazione a paese d’immigrazione. Si pone oggi anche in Italia, quindi, un problema di formazione, per evitare derive di intolleranza e forme di razzismo culturale. Anche le agenzie
culturali del territorio, e non unicamente le istituzioni educative, devono contribuire alla formazione delle conoscenze e delle competenze necessarie ad una convivenza pacifica fra i popoli. Molte biblioteche pubbliche italiane hanno raccolto questa sfida e dall’inizio degli anni ’90 hanno realizzato una serie di esperienze e di progetti che vanno in questa direzione. Con una certa confusione terminologica, però, e con una ancora scarsa progettualità comune. Biblioteca multietnica o multiculturale? Servizi multiculturali o interculturali? Le diverse definizioni alludono a tipologie diverse?
description: In the last few decades, Italy too has changed from being an emigration to an immigration country. There is therefore a real need for training in order to avoid forms of intolerance and cultural racism. Cultural establishments as well as educational institutions must provide for the development of knowledge and skills aimed at the peaceful coexistence of different peoples. Many Italian public libraries have taken on the challenge and have launched several appropriate initiatives since the early 90s – albeit with somewhat confusing terminology and lack of common aims. Should we talk about multiethnic or multicultural libraries? Multicultural or multiethnic service? Do different definitions imply different typologies?
