Diversity and composition of the microbiome associated with eggs of the Southern green stinkbug, Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).
2022
Although microbial communities of insects from larval to adult stage have been increasingly investigated in recent years, little is still known about the diversity and composition of egg-associated microbiomes. In this study, we used high-throughput amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR to get a better understanding of the microbiome of insect eggs and how they are established using the Southern green stinkbug Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) as a study object. First, to determine the bacterial community composition, egg masses from two natural populations in Belgium and Italy were examined. Subsequently, microbial community establishment was assessed by studying stinkbug e…
Strategic renewal : Can it be done profitably?
2022
Industry transformation requires strategic renewal at the level of individual firms. Executives then face the dilemma of choosing renewal paths in the face of uncertainty over the competitive environment of the future, and hence the profitability of potential strategies. This dilemma motivates us to study industry transformation from the perspective of strategic renewal among 208 large firms in the global pulp and paper industry. The findings of our qualitative comparative analysis show that only a minority of firms in our sample succeeded in profitable proactive renewal. Content-wise, there were similarities in the pursued strategies over the wider population, but only a few maintained sup…
How might serious games trigger a transformation in project management education ? Lessons learned from 10 Years of experimentations
2022
While many studies have been published about project management serious games, most of them mainly describe characteristics and features of the games themselves. In those studies, little is found on the pedagogical imple- mentation of serious games and on how they have impacted project management education. In this article, we both discuss how serious games have impacted project management education and how they are implemented from a pedagogical perspective. We used an empirical research approach, based on qualitative observations. Observations included authors’ own usages of a project management serious game (the PM-Game) com- plemented with a synthesis of 10 years of observations and dis…
Boccaccio, «Ninfale fiesolano» 309, 5-8: per la storia di un tópos fra tradizione classica e suggestioni medievali
2022
Questa nota, alla luce della lettura e dell’interpretazione di un passo del «Ninfale fiesolano» del Boccaccio (309, 5-8), ripercorre la fortuna del motivo della “reciprocità” amorosa e, in particolare, dell’intimo rapporto che fa sì che “due” giovani innamorati, legati da affinità di costumi, età, bellezza, siano come “una” sola persona. Un motivo molto antico, questo, che affonda le sue radici nella tradizione biblica e nella letteratura classica, e che conoscerà ampia fortuna nel Medioevo latino e volgare. Fra i testi che vengono proposti e analizzati si segnalano, soprattutto, le «Metamorfosi» di Ovidio, l’«Ero e Leandro» di Museo, il «Narcissus», il «Pamphilus», l’«Alda» di Guglielmo di…
Identidad transterritorial en la literatura saharawi: La luz de cuatro velas en el Sáhara de Ali Salem Inselmu
2022
The study focuses on the analysis of Ali Salem Iselmu’s collection of short stories, La luz de cuatro velas en el Sáhara, as an expression, within Saharawi Literature, of a peculiar identity paradigm, which is based on the transterritorial experience of the author and its characters. The book is made up of four parts, four ‘chronotopes’, according to a journey from the past to the vision of the future. The constitution in Madrid, on July 9, 2005, of the Generación de la Amistad, by a whole generation of journalists, poets, writers with roots in Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, with a biography of a migrant and with the determination of writing a literature in Spanish with traces of …
Un'improvvida iniziativa
2022
In quest’anno simbolicamente denso di importanti anniversari (il quarantennale dall’assassinio del generale Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa, di Emanuela Setti Carraro e di Domenico Russo; i quarant’anni dall’uccisione di Pio La Torre e di Rosario Di Salvo; il trentennale delle stragi di Capaci e di via D’Amelio) desidero dedicare questo intervento ad alcune riflessioni sulle motivazioni della Sentenza di Appello del processo cd. Trattativa. Il tema è delicato e divisivo ma estremamente rilevante: non solo per il passato e per il presente, ma anche per il futuro della nostra democrazia. Consapevole di ciò, cercherò di evitare posizioni polemiche, pur mettendo in luce palesi incongruenze che non c…
Suggestioni favolistiche, espressioni sentenziose e tonalità moraleggianti nel «Pamphilus»
2022
Le commedie elegiache latine del XII e XIII secolo sono spesso caratterizzate da echi e suggestioni di origine favolistica, nonché da forti componenti di stampo moralistico, esemplare, proverbiale. In tal dire-zione, una delle più significative è senz’altro il «Pamphilus», composto all’inizio del XII secolo e ampiamente debitore, quanto alla trama, alle tematiche e ai personaggi, nei confronti del «De nuntio sagaci». In questo saggio, attraverso un’approfondita lettura della commedia, si insiste sulle suggestioni favolistiche, sulle espressioni proverbiali e sulle tonalità moraleggianti che largamente la innervano, fino a costituirne un elemento assolutamente indispensabile, già, d’altra pa…
Acute Mesenteric Ischemia in COVID-19 Patients.
2022
Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare but extremely severe complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The present review aims to document the clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, management, and outcomes of acute intestinal ischemia in COVID-19 patients. A comprehensive search was performed on PubMed and Web of Science with the terms “COVID-19” and “bowel ischemia” OR “intestinal ischemia” OR “mesenteric ischemia” OR “mesenteric thrombosis”. After duplication removal, a total of 36 articles were included, reporting data on a total of 89 patients, 63 being hospitalized at the moment of onset. Elevated D-dimers, leukocytosis, and C reactive protein (CRP) were present in most reported cases, a…
La filiera ittica siciliana e la valorizzazione dei prodotti. Prospettive e orientamenti strategici
2022
Una delle maggiori criticità per la sostenibilità dei processi produttivi di filiera è rappresentata oggi da una complessiva scarsa redditività dei processi legati al comparto primario; per far fronte a ciò è necessario promuovere nuovi modelli organizzativi in grado di garantire un maggiore equilibrio nella distribuzione dei margini di profitto tra le imprese della filiera. La dimensione spaziale ottimale delle configurazioni relazionali tra imprese varia notevolmente in funzione delle caratteristiche dei flussi che le riguardano, dei soggetti considerati e del tipo di tecnologia. L’approccio territoriale presenta, infatti, dei limiti come unico strumento esplicativo dei fenomeni evolutivi…
Making decisions for effective humanitarian actions: a conceptual framework for relief distribution
2022
AbstractResponding to a disaster encompasses a myriad of humanitarian actions; the ultimate and crucial is immediate relief distribution. Making effective decisions in chaotic disaster environment is always complex and challenging. Decisions made here are heavily influenced by the decisions made in several related problem areas such as facility locations, relief supply chain, transportation, scheduling, and inventory management. While each of these problem areas has its own set of decision factors, several of these factors are also common in multiple problem areas. These common decision factors offer both an opportunity and a challenge. The challenge is to balance the relative importance of…
Riconoscersi cittadini per vivere da cittadini. Lo Ius Scholae, una via essenziale per una scuola inclusiva e educante
2022
La presente proposta intende offrire una riflessione pedagogica sulla necessità di favorire processi inclusivi, secondo una prospettiva interculturale, per studenti migranti di seconda e terza generazione che frequentano le nostre scuole. Si tratta di una prospettiva, quella dell’inclusione, che nell’orizzonte di ricerca interculturale può essere considerata la migliore ipotesi, dal punto di vista politico e morale, per dar vita a processi di coinvolgimento attivo in un’ottica di corresponsabilità e co-progettazione condivisa tra le diverse agenzie educative. In particolare, questa proposta intende portare alla luce la problematica vissuta da molti studenti con origini familiari straniere a…
Filosofia come design concettuale. Mari e Floridi: etica, physis e techné nell’infosfera
2022
Partendo da una rilettura di 25 modi per piantare un chiodo di Enzo Mari - e in generale della sua poetica - il contributo prova e mettere in evidenza alcune riflessioni che oggi, come allora, alimentano il dibattito contemporaneo sul design, sulla socio-tecnosfera e in generale sull’uomo e il suo habitat. Passando in rassegna alcuni suoi racconti e microstorie autobiografiche, discussioni teoriche o esempi concreti, è possibile rintracciare una serie di questioni chiave e linee di pensiero che, trascendendo i confini strettamente disciplinari, approdano a riflessioni di più ampio respiro di carattere etico e filosofico. Tali questioni, nella presente trattazione, sono messe in serrata conn…

Interactions between Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AG1 and Aspergillus spp. contaminating food and feedstuffs
2022
Aspergillus is a widespread fungal genus contaminating and degrading food and feeds mostly during storage. Some species can also produce carcinogenic mycotoxins harmful for human and animal health. In this study, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AG1 (BaAG1), active against fungal pathogens was evaluated by in vitro tests against seven Aspergillus species belonging to six Aspergillus sections. After 7 days of incubation at 25°C, mycelial growth of all fungal species was reduced from 46.53% to 60.92%, compared to the controls. The inhibitory effect of BaAG1 cell-free culture filtrate was tested by turbidimetric measurements by using ScanReady P-800 that allow the automatic and continuous monitoring…

This paper illustrates resonances of style in the two works, "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers" by the Chinese woman writer Yiyun Li and "Men Without Women" by the Japanese author Murakami Haruki, that present some similarities.
Collezione
2022
The house represents not only the place of living, but also of exhibiting: we can consider it both a Thoreau-style refuge and a private London memory club, a world within a world. There are heterogeneous objects considered of value (sacred, secular, personal, collective) so much as to be transformed into a "collection". It is exhibited with the function of representation so that the personality and interests of the inhabitant are observed by visiting third parties, or to be enjoyed in the form of a private autobiography in a personal theater of memory between Giulio Camillo and Abi Warburg.
Máscaras de Sicilia. Fotografías de Attilio Russo y Giuseppe Muccio
2022
I mascheramenti, al pari degli altri simboli rituali caratterizzanti le celebrazioni carnascialesche siciliane, paiono tutti riconducibili alla sintassi propria delle feste di chiusura e apertura di un ciclo ossia di rifondazione ciclica del tempo, e finiscono con il proporre l’istituto carnevalesco, nel suo complesso, come “modello esemplare” delle cerimonie di Capodanno. Una festa cioè che attraverso parole, immagini, gesti riesce a restituire la realtà attraverso la ricostituzione per simulazione del cerchio del tempo, cioè a garantire che il tempo continui ad esserci, simulandone e ripetendone la morte e la rinascita. Las mascaradas, al igual que los demás símbolos rituales que caracter…
Angela Lattanzi e Filippa Maria Aliberti siciliane per adozione o nascita: due vite per l’arte
2022
Angela Lattanzi e Filippa Maria Aliberti sono due interessanti figure del ’900 che sommano l’attività di funzionarie statali – votate alla tutela del patrimonio – alla ricerca e allo studio sul campo, operando in due diversi contesti culturali e geografici, dalla Sicilia al Veneto passando per Roma. Approfittando della comune ‘cittadinanza’ siciliana per nascita o per adozione, attraverso l’apporto di fonti edite ed inedite, si ricostruiscono i tratti salientidel periodo trascorso sull’Isola, che per l’una coincide con l’attività matura e la seconda esperienza matrimoniale, mentre per l’altra con l’infanzia e la formazione scolastica e universitaria, determinando orientamenti, propensioni e…
Apolidia e processo penale: nuove norme sull’identificazione dei non cives
2022
L’art. 2, commi 7-10, l. 27 settembre 2021, n. 134 ha introdotto disposizioni immediatamente precettive miranti a incentivare la compiuta identificazione dell’indagato e dell’imputato apolide, di cui non si conosce la cittadinanza, nonché del cittadino non appartenente all’Unione europea. Le norme incidono sulla disciplina del casellario giudiziale interno ed europeo e con esso del sistema c.d. ECRIS-TCN, come imposto dal Regolamento UE 2019/816 del 17 aprile 2019, fondato sulla raccolta all’interno dei singoli Paesi dell’Unione europea del Codice unico identificativo.
Trasparenza del mercato, tutela del consumatore e green washing
2022
Il saggio propone una riflessione sulla politiche di trasparenza del mercato strumentali all’ obiettivo della sostenibilità ambientale. Nella prospettiva del mercato unico sostenibile un ruolo fondamentale viene attribuito ai c.d green claims, laddove alto è il rischio che la sostenibilità divenga per le aziende una semplice strategia di marketing. Il fenomeno, noto come green washing, si pone in una prospettiva peculiare rispetto alla pubblicità ingannevole, pone domande diverse e reclama risposte diverse. Duplice la linea di intervento seguita dal legislatore euro unitario, da una parte la tutela dalle pratiche commerciali scorrette, dall’altra, quella dell’obbligo di conformità al contra…
Tra patti dotali e spese di viaggio: a proposito dell’actio utilis in factum di Pap. 4 resp. D. 23.4.26.3
2022
This study deals with Pap. 4 resp. D. 23.4.26.3, interesting text of Papinian in which an actio utilis in factum is granted against the husband who, in violation of what was agreed, had not reimbursed his wife for the travel expenses incurred to reach him. The author excludes it was a contractual action (a. praescriptis verbis, a.c.i.), believing rather that it was an a. de dolo in factum, in application of the principle that prohibited the exercise of infaming actions between spouses (C. 5.12.1.2; Ulp. 11 ad ed. D. 4.3.11.1).
Factors mediating social media-induced fear of missing out (FoMO) and social media fatigue: A comparative study among Instagram and Snapchat users
2022
The proliferation of social media platforms has provided researchers with ample opportunities to explore the implications of these platforms' positive and negative use. Focusing on the latter, the literature has highlighted the severe implications of the fear of missing out (FoMO) and its associations with negative aspects of social media use, such as the problematic use of social media, phubbing, and reduced well-being. Our study investigates the association between FoMO and social media fatigue, which is mediated by information and communication overload, online subjective well-being (OSWB), and compulsive social media use (compulsive use). The proposed model is grounded strongly in self-…
Online consultations in mental healthcare: Modelling determinants of use and experience based on an international survey study at the onset of the pa…
2022
INTRODUCTION: While online consultations have shown promise to be a means for the effective delivery of high-quality mental healthcare and the first implementations of these digital therapeutic contacts go back nearly two decades, uptake has remained limited over the years. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically altered this relative standstill and created a unique turning point, with a massive amount of both professionals and clients having first hands-on experiences with technology in mental healthcare. OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to document the uptake of online consultations and explore if specific characteristics of mental health professionals across and beyond Europe c…

Against Landscaping
2022
Cultural assets are mostly located within big cities. Landscapes are almost absent from cities. This condition is reverted in inner areas where the primacy of landscapes is overwhelming. Furthermore towns and villages are strictly intertwined with their surrounding landscapes. Yet conservation laws and procedures tend to consider built forms and landscapes as disjointed. The same unsuitable conceptual separation of buildings from the surrounding areas happens by means of the design procedure labelled as “landscaping”. Integration is instead pursued by Landscape Urbanism.
Salutogenic design and regeneration for building heritage
2022
The design approach used is the SPCI “Salutogenic Park City Immersive” which focuses on the renaturation of urban living environments. A strategic role is played by the use of greening and landscaping design systems that are able to absorb a significant share of the country’s climate-changing gas emissions, as already partly highlighted by the European Green Deal. In particular, the key factors and methodologies of intervention are based on the interaction between Green City Adaptive and Resilient Design, in terms of physical redevelopment, environmental remediation and energy improvement, integrated with the enhancement of existing heritage. With the SPCI we intend to experiment with inter…
Ernesto Rossi e La Riforma Sociale (1926-1930). La carriera interrotta di un economista politico
2022
Con questo saggio si intende ricostruire la breve ma intensa fase di collaborazione di Ernesto Rossi con La Riforma Sociale, prestigiosa rivista di economia e scienze sociali fondata da Francesco Saverio Nitti nel 1894 e diretta da Luigi Einaudi dal 1908. Fra il 1926 e il 1930 Rossi è autore di sette lunghi saggi su tematiche di finanza pubblica, economia applicata e statistica economica che sono stati relativamente trascurati dalla storiografia. La rilettura di questi contributi consente di approfondire alcuni momenti centrali nella sua formazione di economista. In particolare: l’influenza di Einaudi e di De Viti de Marco; la predilezione per un approccio empirico all’analisi economica; la…
Principals’ perceptions about collective competences in shared leadership contexts
2022
This article aims to understand how principals perceive collective competences in their schools’ shared leadership contexts. Collective competences are crucial in shared leadership but have not been widely explored within educational leadership studies. This study investigates collective competences through two intersected models: attribute and relational models. The data comprise interviews conducted with 12 Finnish principals in comprehensive and secondary schools who practiced shared modes of leadership. Due to the Finnish school culture emphasising collaboration, the principals were expected to be able to broadly consider the collective side of competences in their schools. The data wer…
Preliminary evaluation of a zinc-copper-citric acid biocomplex for the control of Plenodomus tracheiphilus causal agent of citrus mal secco disease
2022
In this study we evaluated a zinc copper-citric acid biocomplex (Dentamet®) for the effect on citrus mal secco disease caused by Plenodomus tracheiphilus. In vitro tests highlighted an inhibitory activity of the compound on mycelial growth and phialoconidia germination. Independent in vivo trials were performed in a growth chamber inoculating a virulent fungal isolate on sour orange seedlings and young plants of two lines of Femminello lemon, namely ‘Zagara bianca’ and ‘2Kr’, grafted on sour orange and grown in pots. The compound was leaf sprayed three days before the inoculation by wounds with phialoconidia. Overall, disease index and disease progress curve in plants inoculated with P. tra…
Il corpo delle regine
2022
La medievistica più recente, sulla scia di nuove questioni volte a indagare la condizione reginale da prospettive diverse e originali, ha tracciato un profilo sempre più sfaccettato delle regine. In questo saggio ci proponiamo di guardare alla dimensione più esterna, materiale, e al contempo più intima, il corpo, che ha una sua storia e fa parte della storia, la costituisce non diversamente dalle strutture sociali, economiche, e dalle rappresentazioni mentali. Il corpo di una regina associa a un corpo reale, fisico, fatto di bellezza, fecondità, cure e pratiche di mantenimento della salute, di sterilità e malattia, un corpo immaginario fissato al momento della morte nel gisant che ne traman…
Inner Areas between theories and practices. An ongoing laboratory
2022
The contribution proposes a reflection on the laboratories that are being formed in inner areas, and in which universities and researchers play a central role both from a technical point of view and in the advancement of theoretical reflection. The article is structured in four parts: it starts with a framework on inner areas as a place of fragility and opportunity, it moves on to the laboratory dimension that is triggered in the relationship with institutions, such as the university. It concludes with a reflection on the rooting dimension that the laboratory engenders in a territory.

Can noncomplementarity of agency lead to successful problem solving? A case study on students’ interpersonal behaviors in mathematical problem-solvin…
2022
In student collaboration, purposeful peer interaction crucial for success on the task. Such collaboration requires adequate and purposeful student agency. Theoretically, the between-individual complementarity of agency be-haviors enhances purposeful interaction. However, the level of agency of group members can disrupt the collaborative interactions. We conducted a case study of collaborative mathematical problem solving, where one student's behaviors of noncomplementary agency characterized the group interaction. We examined the video recording of the group by continuous quantitative coding of students' agency behaviors and segmented the interaction process into four phases. We analyzed qu…
Dissolution of nitrones in alkylphosphates: A structural study
2022
Nitrones are chemical compounds with well-established anti-oxidant and spin-trapping properties. Their low solubility in water for many of them limits their applications, so opportune solvents must be found. In this study, two recently synthetized oxindole nitrones with proven antiproliferative and antioxidant activity have been dissolved in several liquid amphiphiles, chosen as model solvents. The effect of the polar head nature and the alkyl chain length/type have been investigated by a combined experimental (solubility, UV–vis spectroscopy) / computational (molecular dynamics) approach. The different chemical structures of the various solvents offer different chemical environments to the…
