A comprehensive approach to the euro-area debt crisis

The euro area‘s sovereign debt crisis continues though significant steps have been taken to resolve it. This paper proposes a comprehensive solution to the crisis based on three pillars: a plan to restore banking sector soundness in the whole euro area, a resolution of sovereign debt crisis -including a revision of EU assistance facilities and a reduction of the Greek public debt- and a strategy to foster growth and competitiveness. The paper provides novel estimates and analysis focusing on the current situation of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.

Exoneration or Observation? Examining a Novel Difference Between Liars and Truth Tellers

Individual cues to deception are subtle and often missed by lay people and law enforcement alike. Linguistic statement analysis remains a potentially useful way of overcoming individual diagnostic limitations (e.g. Criteria based Content Analysis; Steller & Köhnken, 1989; Reality monitoring; Johnson & Raye, 1981; Scientific Content Analysis; Sapir, 1996). Unfortunately many of these procedures are time-consuming, require in-depth training, as well as lack empirical support and/or external validity. The current dissertation develops a novel approach to statement veracity analysis that is simple to learn, easy to administer, theoretically sound, and empirically validated. Two strategies were proposed for detecting differences between liars' and truth-tellers' statements. Liars were hypothesized to strategically write statements with the goal of self-exoneration. Liars' statements were predicted to contain more first person pronouns and fewer third person pronouns. Truth-tellers were hypothesized to be motivated toward being informative and thus produce statements with fewer first person pronouns and more third person pronouns. Three studies were conducted to test this hypothesis. The first study explored the verbal patterns of exoneration and informativeness focused statements. The second study used a traditional theft paradigm to examine these verbal patterns in guilty liars and innocent truth tellers. In the third study to better match the context of a criminal investigation a cheating paradigm was used in which spontaneous lying was induced and written statements were taken. Support for the first person pronoun hypothesis was found. Limited support was found for the third person pronoun hypothesis. Results, implications, and future directions for the current research are discussed.

Logística humanitaria: seguridad agroalimentaria

Actualmente la relación que existe entre la logística humanitaria y la seguridad agroalimentaria es muy estrecha, estos dos conceptos constituyen un elemento sumamente importante en situaciones que se presentan hoy en día a nivel mundial, como por ejemplo en los diferentes tipos de desastres naturales como terremotos, tsunamis, sequías, hambrunas, entre otros, o simplemente, en zonas de alta pobreza. La logística humanitaria es hoy en día un concepto novedoso que nace de la necesidad de poder suministrar los recursos adecuados en zonas que han sido afectadas por desastres naturales, o situaciones de orden público, como por ejemplo los conflictos armados. Estos recursos deben asegurarle a la población afectada que puedan mantener a lo largo de un tiempo sus necesidades básicas, y así mismo, que estos recursos aseguren a la población afectada que puedan tener una vida digna y segura, lo que conlleva entre otras cosas, tener una seguridad agroalimentaria. A medida que se presentan diferentes escenarios de desastres naturales, la ayuda humanitaria a nivel mundial es necesaria, y el tiempo de respuesta juega un papel sumamente importante. En consecuencia, esta investigación presenta un enfoque que involucra los conceptos de logística humanitaria y de seguridad agroalimentaria, con el fin de contextualizar su evolución y los estudios que se llevan a cabo hoy en día.

O CONCEITO DE PAYS E SUA DISCUSSÃO NA GEOGRAFIA FRANCESA DO XIX

O vocábulo pays vem sendo empregado na Europa há pelo menos 1500 anos, significando tanto um indivíduo relacionado com seu lugar de origem como uma porção do território numa circunscrição determinada. No século XVII o vocábulo em foco caracterizava subdivisões das villes francesas, ao mesmo tempo em que designava também, num sentido familiar, pessoas nascidas em um mesmo pays, em contexto rural. No XVIII, o vocábulo passa a integrar a terminologia científica do período. Assim, o termo passa a designar extensões territoriais antigas, formadas por elementos pedológicos distinguíveis, como pays à craie. Passada a revolução francesa, d’Omalius recomenda aos geógrafos que determinem as regiões naturais, fundadas sobre a natureza do solo, e que lhes devia atribuir os nomes antigos de pays correspondentes. Este mesmo sentido do termo será empregado por La Blache no final do XIX. Destarte, partindo da hipótese de Sapir (1911) no qual o léxico da língua é que mais nitidamente reflete o ambiente geográfico (Demangeon, 1942), perscrutaremos neste artigo o conceito de pays e sua discussão na formação da geografia francesa.

L'immagine linguistica del mondo e il carattere nazionale attraverso le parole chiave

Il presente lavoro ha come oggetto la linguoculturologia, un orientamento scientifico nato negli ultimi decenni del XX secolo e largamente diffuso nel mondo accademico russo e post-sovietico, che studia il legame indissolubile tra lingua e visione del mondo. Le origini della linguoculturologia sono da ricercare nel pensiero di Humboldt e nel concetto di relativismo linguistico presentato dagli studiosi Edward Sapir e Benjamin Whorf, esposti nel primo capitolo dell’elaborato. Il primo capitolo si presenta quindi come una panoramica dell’evoluzione di questa disciplina, fino alla sua affermazione e la presentazione di uno dei suoi concetti principali, quello di carattere nazionale, inteso come le caratteristiche, i tratti del carattere e la visione del mondo comune alle persone appartenenti ad una stessa comunità. Come sostiene la linguista Svetlana Ter-Minasova, l’esistenza del carattere nazionale è attestata da alcune fonti, e cioè le barzellette, i classici della letteratura nazionale, il folclore e la lingua nazionale. Proprio quest’ultima è la più importante ed è il tema centrale del secondo capitolo, dove ho analizzato alcune delle parole chiave della lingua russa che ne riflettono la mentalità. A tal proposito il terzo e ultimo capitolo è dedicato alla proposta di traduzione di un saggio intitolato “È possibile comprendere la cultura russa attraverso le parole chiave della lingua russa?” del linguista russo A. D. Šmelëv.

Implementazione di un sistema di accumulo dell'energia prodotta da FER in ambito portuale

L'elaborato analizza concretamente le possibilità di implementazione di un sistema di accumulo di energia elettrica prodotta da FER all'interno del terminal portuale della ditta Sapir. Vengono analizzate le tecnologie disponibili attualmente sul mercato valutandone l'efficienza e soprattutto la capacità di produrre un riscontro economico positivo per l'azienda in un tempo contenuto. Sono state infine valutate le varie proposte di miglioramento, considerando di implementare una gru elettrica alimentata almeno in parte dal sistema di accumulo.
