Knowledge, attitudes, and practices about homelessness and willingness-to-pay for housing-first across 8 European countries: a survey protocol
2018
Contains fulltext : 200223.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Background: Most European countries report rising numbers of people experiencing homelessness. For those with mental disorders, interventions are centered on achieving mental health and drug rehabilitation alongside housing readiness, often to the detriment of access to housing. Notwithstanding, more European countries are investing in a new model, Housing First (HF), which postulates immediate access to permanent housing with no initial requirements for treatment. While results of the European HF programs are published on individual-level data, little is known about the opinions of the general population about homelessness…
Modelling the Complex Dynamics of Public Opinion Propagation in Micro-Blogging.
2018
The purpose of this paper is to attempt to analyze the propagation of public opinion in micro-blogging. We proposed a Micro-blogging read-post model based on a well-known diffusion model and presented its system of equations. We carried out a global qualitative analysis of the model with latent and constant recruitment, then studied the existence and stability of the public opinion vanishing and prevailing equilibrium points. An empirical study of the model was conducted using data automatically collected from a typical case on Sina Weibo, a microblogging platform with the largest number of registered users and active users in China. Simulation results showed that our model can fit data in …
Beetwen Berlin and Moscow: Polish Western Thought in the Twenty-Year Interwar Period
2020
The article was submitted on 27.02.2020. This article is not primarily focused on presenting arguments and views held by Polish political groups with reference to the territorial shape of the Polish state after the First World War. Instead, its aim is to draw attention to actions taken by these groups towards the defence of Polish western lands. One of the key problems of Poland’s foreign policy after 1918 was the question of relations with its neighbours, chiefly Germany and Russia (and the Soviet Union). For many years, the most serious problem faced by post-Versailles Europe was that of the Germans striving to revise the legal order, to break their political isolation, and return to the …
Identity, Instrumental Self-Interest and Institutional Evaluations: Explaining Public Opinion on Common European Policies in Foreign Affairs and Defe…
2008
This paper addresses public opinion on common European policies in foreign affairs and defence. It proposes three models of support for common policies in these fields. Drawing on Eurobarometer data, the analysis shows that instrumental self-interest and territorial identities contribute considerably to explaining support for common foreign affairs and defence policies. Moreover, support for common policies is strongly driven by domain-specific evaluations of the European Union's performance. These findings suggest that popular support for common European policies in foreign affairs and defence has an experiential base. Thus, elites have an incentive to respond to public opinion when makin…

European public perceptions of homelessness: A knowledge, attitudes and practices survey
2019
peer-reviewed Background Addressing Citizen’s perspectives on homelessness is crucial for the design of effective and durable policy responses, and available research in Europe is not yet substantive. We aim to explore citizens’ opinions about homelessness and to explain the differences in attitudes within the general population of eight European countries: France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. Methods A nationally representative telephone survey of European citizens was conducted in 2017. Three domains were investigated: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices about homelessness. Based on a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), a generalized linear mod…
From the Panopticon to the freedom to communicate in the city space
2022
The aim of this article is to explore the possible link existing between space, particularly city space, and disinformation. The examination of some points of transition and change in the structure of technologies and their exploitation by power systems and power games will help identify some of their characteristics, namely control, domination and defence. The urban and territorial spatial dimension is a relational environment produced in various ways by the government practices and policies of a city. Transformations of the city space are set in motion by decision- making power, and these in turn are dependent on public opinion, which can be influenced in various ways by forms of disinfor…
Lo Ouzhan shibao (1915-1918): legami tra stampa cinese e voci estere tra le pagine della cronaca di guerra
2019
The Shanghai weekly magazine Ouzhan shibao was the longest-running and most suc- cessful Chinese war magazine reporting the latest circumstances of First World War. Its rich rep- ertoire of war reports and battlefield photographs provided the Chinese readership with vivid and exhaustive accounts, but being a French ruled magazine it did not conceal its bias toward the Allied powers and against Germany. In this perspective, Chinese interests were discussed as part of a global strategy, but never defended per se, as demonstrated by the positive depiction of Japan, an Allied country but still a fierce antagonist of Chinese sovereignty.

Il Polar prima del Polar: il poliziesco italo-americano tra fine Ottocento e gli anni Trenta del Novecento
2018
Tra la fine dell’Ottocento e gli anni Trenta del Novecento, alcuni Italiani immigrati negli Stati Uniti – quali, fra gli altri, Bernardino Ciambelli, Italo Stanco, Garibaldi Marto Lapolla, Louis Forgione, nonché il sodalizio letterario costituito da Michael Fiaschetti e Prosper Buranelli – si sono cimentati nel genere del poliziesco con alcuni testi che, partendo da alcune delle caratteristiche tipiche del Mystery, quali la serializzazione e l’incardinamento della fabula in uno specifico contesto urbano, insieme ad alcuni degli elementi caratteriali dei personaggi dell’Hard boiled non perdono mai di vista la peculiare ‘missione’ di denuncia politica, economica e sociale. Facendo del problem…
