Gioco scommessa e responsabilità della p.a.: tra pretese di monopolio, libero mercato e protezione del consumatore
2022
The essay analyzes the recent regulatory and jurisprudential developments in gaming and betting, focusing peculiarly on the public administration’s re- sponsibility pro le for the act committed by its concessionaires towards the consumer. The script criticized, in particular, the orientation of the Court of Cassation according to which the supervisory and control powers weighting on the p.a. towards the gaming and betting concessionaire give rise to indirect liability pursuant to art. 2049 of the Italian Civil Code.

Drivers, barriers and impacts of digitalisation in rural areas from the viewpoint of experts
2022
Abstract Context: The domain of rural areas, including rural communities, agriculture, and forestry, is going through a process of deep digital transformation. Digitalisation can have positive impacts on sustainability in terms of greater environmental control, and community prosperity. At the same time, it can also have disruptive effects, with the marginalisation of actors that cannot cope with the change. When developing a novel system for rural areas, requirements engineers should carefully consider the specific socio-economic characteristics of the domain, so that potential positive effects can be maximised, while mitigating negative impacts. Objective: The goal of this paper is to sup…
CQ *-algebras of measurable operators
2022
Abstract We study, from a quite general point of view, a CQ*-algebra (X, 𝖀0) possessing a sufficient family of bounded positive tracial sesquilinear forms. Non-commutative L 2-spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of CQ*-algebras and any abstract CQ*-algebra (X, 𝖀0) possessing a sufficient family of bounded positive tracial sesquilinear forms can be represented as a direct sum of non-commutative L 2-spaces.
A 79-year-old-man with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and unusual pulmonary co-infection
2022
Patients with severe COVID-19 are characterized by local and systemic inflammatory responses, which are responsible for severe acute respiratory failure. Systemic corticosteroids have been used to counteract the inflammatory cascade in severe respiratory patients. The beneficial effect of corticosteroids may be counteracted by adverse effects, including delayed viral clearance and increased risk of secondary infection. In this regard, we describe a case of a 79-year-old man admitted to the Emergency Department of the Palermo Hospital (Italy) because of respiratory failure and pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed Nocardia otitidiscaviarum infection. This case highlights the…

2022
Il contributo raccoglie i rapporti epilogativi (Research Report) di una specifica ricerca condotta sulla tecnologia come scienza applicata al patrimonio dell’esistente oltre le good practices, al di fuori di nicchie elitarie poco rappresentative della comune produzione edilizia. Queste, ora, hanno bisogno di un approccio tecnologicamente flessibile, innestato sul consenso e sulla partecipazione evolutiva del già fatto e dal potersi ancora fare (Germanà, 2008). Ci riferiamo alla tecnologia edilizia come scienza del costruire capace di innescare nuovi percorsi del fare inerenti ai processi di trasformazione, completamento e rigenerazione dell’esistente; da ricerche ‘sensibili’ a nuove qualità…
Temporaneità
2022
Il saggio riflette sul tema della Temporaneità considerata, ormai, prassi strettamente connessa a quello dell’urban shrinkage, condizione centrale nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Dagli anni ’90 a livello globale, nelle città e nei territori abbondano i luoghi dell’abbandono e dell’inutilizzato che ci restituiscono uno scenario di progressiva contrazione non solo demografica ma anche economica e sociale. In questo controverso quadro di mutazione strutturale delle città e dei territori si stanno sperimentando strategie, strumenti e schemi di governance efficaci per governare la decrescita e l’abbandono il cui comun denominatore è il ricorso …

Low-repetition-rate all-polarization maintaining thulium-doped passively modelocked fiber laser
2022
We have developed a passively mode-locked, all-polarization maintaining, low-repetition-rate thulium-doped fiber laser (PM TDFL) emitting at 1951 nm and pumped by an erbium-ytterbium-doped all-fiber laser at 1561 nm. The PM TDFL was developed with a 44.67 m long polarization-maintaining all-fiber resonator Fabry-Perot using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror at one end and a highly reflective fiber Bragg grating at the other. In this way, transform-limited low-repetition-rate light pulses at 2.3 MHz were generated, with each light pulse having a temporal width of 81 ps, and a spectral width of 50 pm. We have also compared the performance of this laser with a shortened version of this…
Il diritto all’educazione nelle costituzioni europee: una panoramica critica e una proposta per il Cile
2022
Il saggio di colloca all’interno di un numero speciale della rivista cilena “Estudios Constitutionales” nato con l’obiettivo di offrire spunti di riflessione alla convenzione costituente che ha avviato i suoi lavori nel luglio 2021. L’assemblea aveva il compito di redigere la carta costituzionale che avrebbe dovuto soppiantare la Costituzione del 1980 approvata durante il regime militare di Pinochet. I curatori della rivista hanno raccolto una serie di contributi – che traendo spunto da diverse tradizioni costituzionali sia Latinoamericane che del Vecchio continente – avrebbero potuto offrire un quadro articolato dei più discussi diritti. L’articolo di Clelia Bartoli propone una disamina cr…
Appropriateness criteria for the use of cardiac computed tomography, SIC-SIRM part 2: Acute chest pain evaluation; Stent and coronary artery bypass g…
2022
In the past 20 years, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) has become a pivotal technique for the noninvasive diagnostic workup of coronary and cardiac diseases. Continuous technical and methodological improvements, combined with fast growing scientific evidence, have progressively expanded the clinical role of CCT. Randomized clinical trials documented the value of CCT in increasing the cost-effectiveness of the management of patients with acute chest pain presenting in the emergency department, also during the pandemic. Beyond the evaluation of stents and surgical graft patency, the anatomical and functional coronary imaging have the potential to guide treatment decision-making and planning …
Multiple mini-interviews as a selection tool for initial teacher education admissions
2022
This study investigates the reliability of multiple mini interviews (MMIs) to select students for classroom and special education teacher programs (n = 418) using intraclass correlations and cross-classified multilevel modeling. The results indicated mostly small effects of clustering of applicants to different interviewers and five-station circuits. The largest variance components in the MMI total score were for applicants (63.3%) and measurement error (20.6%), while the variance component for the interviewer was relatively small (11.6–14.4%). The applicants' and interviewers' perceptions were positive. This study provides evidence for the use of MMIs as a reliable tool for initial teacher…

La diffusione del pensiero pedagogico di John Dewey in Italia: il contributo della casa editrice La Nuova Italia e della rivista «Scuola e città»
2022
La diffusione del sistema di pensiero di John Dewey si è avviata in Italia sin dal primo decennio del Novecento. L’articolo vuole quindi indagare su chi siano stati i primi intellettuali ad aver accolto le riflessioni filosofiche e pedagogiche dello studioso americano, rivolgendo un’attenzione particolare all’apporto offerto da Carolina Pironti, Antonio Aliotta e Giuseppe Lombardo Radice e dalla casa editrice La Nuova Italia e dalla rivista «Scuola e città», quest’ultime animate dall’operato di Lamberto Borghi, Aldo Visalberghi e Francesco De Bartolomeis, stimatori della pedagogia deweyana e di una scuola attiva in grado di contribuire alla realizzazione e al mantenimento della nascente dem…
A monument to whom? Artist positionality in community art-based projects
2022
Artistic interventions in the public domain are often legitimized as opportunities for the empowerment of local communities. However, the nature of such interventions is complex and cannot be inferred from stated intentions. The interaction between agents of cultural and artistic interventions and local communities is shaped by power relationships that are seldom made explicit, let alone negotiated. Here, we analyze The Gramsci Monument, a site-specific project by Thomas Hirschhorn that took place in the Forest House neighborhood (Bronx, New York) in 2013. The project has been celebrated as an example of an emancipatory practice that involved a disenfranchised local community. We show that …

Sociolinguistic upsets and people of color in social media performances
2022
Abstract Particularly since the refugee “reception crisis” in 2015, Finland has started transforming into a more diverse and multicultural society. These societal changes have also been accompanied by sociolinguistic change, as well as language ideological debates and tensions, often manifesting in explicitly racist and xenophobic bursts of upset. In this article, our focus is on social media as a space where such societal and sociolinguistic upsets are articulated and re-worked. Drawing on recent sociolinguistic and discourse analytic work on transformative and critical popular cultural practices in social media, and studies on rap and belonging, we discuss how, in a mediatized society suc…

La questione del testo letterario negli apprendenti cinesi: regola, creatività, grammatica
2022
This paper explores how Chinese-speaking students approach and represent Italian literary texts. The author refers to Chinese-speaking students of Italian, about whom he has on-the-job experience. The introduction emphasizes how Chinese culture and philosophy, pivoting around the ideal of harmony, befit the textual teaching in Italian language, within the Romance cultural and linguistic context, where the fracture, the Dyonisian, the textual pathos, are important concepts. The subject is approached with a two-fold perspective. The first is more general and expresses the need for an integrated and dynamic encounter between Chinese and Italian culture. The second is more specific and consider…
EpCAM y obstrucción microvascular en pacientes con un IAMCEST: estudio con resonancia magnética cardiaca
2022
Resumen Introduccion y objetivos La obstruccion microvascular (OMV) se asocia negativamente con la estructura cardiaca y el pronostico de los pacientes tras un infarto agudo de miocardio con elevacion del segmento ST (IAMCEST). El factor epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), implicado en la cohesion de las celulas epiteliales, esta poco estudiado en el contexto de la OMV. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es evaluar en una cohorte de pacientes con IAMCEST la asociacion entre la concentracion de EpCAM circulante con la extension de la OMV, determinada por resonancia magnetica cardiaca (RMC), y la funcion sistolica en fases cronicas. Metodos Se incluyo prospectivamente a 106 paciente…
Varieties of algebras with pseudoinvolution: Codimensions, cocharacters and colengths
2022
Abstract Let A be a finitely generated superalgebra with pseudoinvolution ⁎ over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero. In this paper we develop a theory of polynomial identities for this kind of algebras . In particular, we shall consider three sequences that can be attached to Id ⁎ ( A ) , the T 2 ⁎ -ideal of identities of A: the sequence of ⁎-codimensions c n ⁎ ( A ) , the sequence of ⁎-cocharacter χ 〈 n 〉 ⁎ ( A ) and the ⁎-colength sequence l n ⁎ ( A ) . Our purpose is threefold. First we shall prove that the ⁎-codimension sequence is eventually non-decreasing, i.e., c n ⁎ ( A ) ≤ c n + 1 ⁎ ( A ) , for n large enough. Secondly, we study superalgebras with pseudoinvoluti…
Analysis of spar and semi-submersible floating wind concepts with respect to human exposure to motion during maintenance operations
2022
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are expected to experience onsite maintenances and inspections during their lifetimes. To carry out offshore maintenance activities, a crew will be transferred to an FOWT and spend several hours on board. A challenge may arise if the motions of a floating platform affect the crew's comfort level and further jeopardise their work performance or even health. To address this challenge, this paper analyses the motion characteristics and dynamic properties of a spar and two semi-submersible FOWTs, all exhibiting very different motion characteristics. The impact of the platform motions and accelerations on the workability of the FOWTs are investigated. We c…

Separation of palladium and silver from E-waste leachate : effect of nitric acid concentration on adsorption to Thiol scavenger
2022
The development of recovery techniques for metals present in low concentrations in E-waste, such as silver and palladium, is important from the aspect of the circular economy. Adsorption of palladium and silver was studied in detail in a batch process with silica-based Thiol scavenger from nitric acid leachate of waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). High adsorption efficiencies of Pd(II) and Ag(I), >97%, were reached in nitric acid concentrations below 3 mol L−1. At higher acid concentrations, adsorption efficiency of Ag(I) decreased drastically which enables the separation of Ag(I) and Pd(II) based on nitric acid concentration in sample solution. Pd(II) and Ag(I) followed pseudo 2nd order …
Separation of halloysite/kaolinite mixtures in water controlled by sucrose addition: The influence of the attractive forces on the sedimentation beha…
2022
In this work, we propose an easy strategy for the separation of halloysite/kaolinite mixtures in sucrose aqueous solution. Preliminarily, we investigated the influence of the sucrose addition on the colloidal stability of kaolinite nanoplates and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) dispersed in water. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements revealed that the HNTs aqueous mobility is dependent on the sucrose concentration, while the ζ-potential is negligibly affected by the addition of the carbohydrate in the aqueous solvent. On the other hand, any variations on the surface charge and dynamic behavior of kaolinite were detected in the presence of sucrose. The obtained ζ-potential and DLS results…
Chemical variability in volcanic gas plumes and fumaroles along the East African Rift System: New insights from the Western Branch
2022
The origin of magmatic fluids along the East African Rift System (EARS) is a long-lived field of debate in the scientific community. Here, we investigate the chemical composition of the volcanic gas plume and fumaroles at Nyiragongo and Nyamulagira (Democratic Republic of Congo), the only two currently erupting volcanoes set on the Western Branch of the rift. Our results are in line with earlier conceptual models proposing that volcanic gas emissions along the EARS mainly reflect variable contributions of either a Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM) component or a Depleted Morb Mantle (DMM) component, and deeper fluid. At Nyiragongo and Nyamulagira, our study discards a major contrib…
Long-term exposure to transportation noise and risk for atrial fibrillation: A Danish nationwide cohort study.
2022
Background: Epidemiological studies have linked transportation noise and cardiovascular diseases, however, atrial fibrillation (AF) has received limited attention. We aimed to investigate the association between transportation noise and AF risk. Methods: Over the period 1990–2017 we estimated road and railway noise (L den) at the most and least exposed façades for all residential addresses across Denmark. We estimated time-weighted mean noise exposure for 3.6 million individuals age ≥35 years. Of these, 269,756 incident cases of AF were identified with a mean follow-up of 13.0 years. Analyses were conducted using Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for individual and area-level …

Improved FMECA for effective risk management decision making by failure modes classification under uncertainty
2022
Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a proactive reliability and risk management technique extensively used in practice to ensure high system performance by prioritising failure modes. Owing to the limitations of traditional FMECA, multi-criteria decision-making methods have been employed over the past two decades to enhance its effectiveness. To consider the vagueness and uncertainty of the FMECA evaluation process, an interval-based extension of the Elimination et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE) TRI method is proposed in the present paper for the classification of failure modes into risk categories. Therefore, ratings of failure modes against risk parameters are…

Measuring Perceived Severity of Intimate Partner Violence against Women (IPVAW) among the General Population and IPVAW Offenders
2022
ABSTRACT Public perceptions of the severity of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) incidents are an important factor that has been linked to key issues regarding this type of violence, such as acceptability or tolerance, personal sense of responsibility, attitudes toward intervention, and the public's, professionals', and victims' responses to IPVAW. The aim of the present study was to provide further validity evidence for the perceived severity of IPVAW scale (PS-IPVAW), by assessing its measurement invariance between gender and age groups, and between men from the general population and male IPVAW offenders. Item response theory was also used to assess the discrimination of th…
Almond shell reuse: a viable non-conventional aggregate for sustainable building materials
2022
Bio-based or green architecture is a new way of designing and building in line with the European Green Deal and in light of the Circular Economy principles. The main green approach directs the whole construction life cycle to be eco-sustainable and environmentally friendly from the beginning to the end of the building process. Beyond the use of eco sustainable and highly performing structural materials, new technologies able of reduce the environmental impact of buildings must be used. This paper is aimed at reviewing the possible reuse of bio- wastes of agricultural origin whose massive production generates a number of issues for their treatment and disposal. In particular, this study will…
