Abstract

This study uses a randomized control trial to evaluate the outcome of integrating money management and entrepreneurial training into a microcredit program in India. We find positive and significant effects on clients’ financial management skills and entrepreneurship abilities, particularly for clients with higher human capital, or more diligent, or having an entrepreneurial idea, and an increase in initiative and self-confidence. Effects appear stronger for clients obliged to attend the training course or more interested in attending it. By considering missed or delayed repayments reduction we assess the benefits of the training provided and of extending it for the institution.

Abstract

Le attività didattiche basate sull’uso di robot come mediatori dell’apprendimento coinvolgono spesso momenti di osservazione e spiegazione del comportamento del robot stesso. Quali sono i principali stili di spiegazione adottati da bambini di Scuola Primaria in questi contesti? In questo articolo si cercherà di affrontare questa domanda elaborando, anzitutto, una tassonomia di stili di spiegazione radicata nella letteratura epistemologica e distinta in alcuni sensi interessanti da altre tassonomie proposte nella letteratura sull’interazione bambino-robot. La tassonomia verrà poi esemplificata e messa alla prova nella codifica di un’esperienza in cui è stato chiesto a bambini di una classe prima di Scuola Primaria di descrivere e spiegare il comportamento di un robot pre-programmato. So-called “educational robotics” activities typically require children to observe and explain robot behaviours. What styles of explanation are adopted by primary school children in these contexts? This question will be addressed here by elaborating a taxonomy of styles of explanation firmly rooted in the epistemological literature and different, in some interesting respects, from other taxonomies proposed in the children-robots interaction literature. The taxonomy will be exemplified and tested in the analysis of a didactic experience in which primary school children were asked to describe and explain the behaviour of a pre-programmed robot.

Abstract

Sixteen archaeological findings of Iron age from three sites in the Campania region have been examined for their mineral components, chemical and Pb-isotope composition by a multitechnique approach (XRD, SEM-EDS, ICP-MS, AAS and LIRMS). Mineralogical analyses have emphasized the occurrence of three types of objects, Pb- and Cu-based artefacts and finds made of Fe-bearing phases. Qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses have allowed the characterisation of different elements from the metal and slag objects. Pb-isotope signatures suggest a wide range of possible provenances of the source ores throughout the Mediterranean realm. The results are discussed in relation to mineral characterization, to some aspects of local metallurgical techniques and metal source areas
