Studi sugli aspetti dominicali e spaziali del regime fondiario della provincia Africa tra II e I sec. a.C.

Questa ricerca tratta della rilevanza giuridica della terra, con specifico riferimento alla provincia Africa, dalla prospettiva della storia del diritto romano nella provincia Africa. Essa affronta i temi della titolarità e della qualificazione giuridica delle terre, applicando una distinzione funzionale che ricalca provocatoriamente la moderna distinzione tra diritto privato e diritto pubblico. Il primo capitolo espone alcune note introduttive sul significato che i Romani attribuivano al ter...

Development of Computerized Multicomponent Cognitive Stimulation for Improving Cognitive Functions in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Multimodal Investigation Using Neuropsychological and EEG/ERP Assessment

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Computerized Multicomponent Cognitive Stimulation (CMCS) program, adapted from Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), in improving cognitive functions, emotions, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Ninety-three participants (mean age = 67.68 years) were randomly assigned to three groups: (1) the CMCS or computerized CST integrated with multisensory stimulation (MCST), (2) computerized CST (CST), and (3) a control ...

Development of ion exchange membranes for electrochemical applications using PET waste bottles

This research presents two innovative strategies for transforming PET bottles into proton exchange membranes (PEMs) and anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for electrochemical applications. By repurposing PET waste, these approaches support sustainability and the circular economy by reducing reliance on virgin polymer materials. In the first approach, chemical modification was applied to the structure of PET bottles by introducing sulfonic functional groups, which enhance the electrochemical pro...

Experimental and Theoretical Strategies for a Rational Design of Polyamine-based Anion Exchange Membranes

The use of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in electrochemical applications, including fuel cells and water electrolyzers, has gained significant attention in recent years. However, their lower ionic conductivity and chemical stability compared to proton exchange membranes (PEMs) remain critical challenges. Numerous experimental and theoretical studies have explored different approaches to improve AEMs, including optimizing degree of functionalization, designing comb-shaped, crosslinked, or in...

Fusioni transfrontaliere tra società di capitali e tutela dei creditori

This research examines the position of creditors in cross-border mergers carried out within the European Single Market. The aim of the study is to highlight how the change in the lex societatis, resulting from the cross-border nature of the transaction, may adversely affect creditors' expectations. It is therefore necessary to provide appropriate protective mechanisms to safeguard them from this specific risk. The analysis of cross-border mergers and the protection of corporate creditors also...

Cooperative Gamification in Education and Learning: a Comparison Between Modalities and Supported Activities

The use of gamification – i.e., the use of game elements in non playful contexts – in the field of education is growing every year, to face the students’ low motivation and engagement toward learning. Gamified educational apps use cooperation and competition – important features of traditional learning – without having a comprehensive understanding of the role of game modality. This doctoral thesis focuses on the role of game modality in educational gameful systems, and in particular on the c...

Ganaspis kimorum as a classical biological control agent for Drosophila suzukii: from laboratory studies to field assessments

Agriculture forms the foundation of human society, providing one of the few essential resources we really need in life, food. However, agricultural production faces constant threats from emerging pests. While globalization facilitates access to agricultural products worldwide, it also opens the door to the spread of new invasive pests, leading to significant economic losses. One of the most emblematic examples of such event, is given by the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii. Native ...

Die sprachliche Zweifaltigkeit Laufenburgs. Eine soziolinguistische Studie am Hochrhein

This socio-dialectological study is intended to add a further piece to the linguistic research carried out so far along the German-Swiss border, in particular between southern Baden and northern canton Aargau. The subject of the analysis are the twin towns Laufenburg Baden and Laufenburg Aargau, which lie on opposite sides of the High Rhine. Having belonged to Anterior Austria for six centuries, Laufenburg was divided following the Treaty of Luneville in 1801, which stipulated the cession of ...
