Scritture del corpo
2018
Nel monito esemplare agli Infelici Molti, vibrato dalle pagine del Mondo salvato dai ragazzini, risuona l’eco della sfida morantiana «ai mostri aberranti» dell’era contemporanea, intrapresa sin dalla prolusione del 1965, Pro o contro la bomba atomica: «Sappiatelo, o padri meschini I.M d’ogni paese:/ se ancora il corpo offeso dei viventi resiste/ in questo vostro mondo di sangue e di denti/ è perché passano sempre quelle poche voci illese/ con le loro allegre notizie.» La tragedia della coscienza e il mondo attuale, recita, infatti, in una voluta continuità, nel 1971, il sottotitolo dell’edizione einaudiana del Mondo salvato, offerto dalla scrittrice stessa ai suoi lettori come l’iridescente…

Multinationality, foreignness and institutional distance in the relation between R&D and productivity
2012
Abstract This paper empirically examines to what extent being foreign and part of a multinational affects the endogenous relation between R&D and productivity. Our findings indicate that multinationals obtain in general higher R&D returns. Also, there is a negative foreignness effect in that domestic-owned multinationals outperform foreign subsidiaries. However, these effects are somehow moderated by the institutional distance between the home and host countries. These results, obtained for a panel of UK firms, are largely consistent with a set of hypotheses derived from the institutional and international business theories.
What Can International Finance Add to International Strategy?
2011
This chapter focuses on the role of corporate financial strategies to improve firms’ market valuations, and thus lower their cost of capital. The identification of successful strategies is accomplished within an overall strategic framework and related to how the firm perceives the degree of international financial integration. Five strategies for how to break out of a segmented, thin domestic capital market are highlighted together with historical success cases. The chapter illustrates the linkages between business strategy, firm motivation, and various financial strategies. JEL: F21, F23, F36, G32, G34.

Para una historia de la administración italiana. Del Estado liberal al Estado fascista
2018
The origins of the Italian Public Administration date back to a time prior to the political birth of Italy. Its history follows an itinerary based on gradual modifications in correspondence with economic, social, political and cultural changes. Between the 19th and the 20th Century, the Italian Public Administration played several roles. Going from being a political instrument to a means of social intervention and/or a vehicle of economic direction, the Italian Public Administration drew its own structures and modified its own roles, according with the constitutional development that leaded Italy from the liberal State to the fascist State. But there was also a technical continuity, which p…
Congenital penile curvature: dermal grafting procedure to prevent penile shortening in adults.
2007
Objectives: We report the results of a derma graft corporoplasty in a selected group of patients with congenital penile curvature (CPC) who refused a simple plication technique for the risk of penile shortening, even if minimal. Methods: Between January 1995 and January 2004, 15 potent patients with CPC underwent corporoplasty with inguinal derma graft, with or without tunica albuginea plication. Mean age was 26.6 years (range 1936). Six patients had a simple lateral left curvature, three had a simple lateral right curvature, four had a ventro-lateral left curvature, one patient had a ventro-lateral right curvature, and one patient had ventral curvature. In nine patients the preoperative me…
The geography of foreign news on television
2012
Since the advent of television in the middle of the 20th century, news has been an essential ingredient in TV programming. Often these newscasts are the most heavily viewed programmes, and by and large they are the main source of information for many people. This is particularly true for news from other countries and regions in the world. This immense significance of TV news has made it an important field in communication research. The article presents a new study that is formed from a multinational project. The project investigated foreign TV news in 17 countries from five regions in the world: Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland,…
Associations Between the Modified Food Standard Agency Nutrient Profiling System Dietary Index and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in an Elderly Populati…
2022
Background: Helping consumers to improve the nutritional quality of their diet is a key public health action to prevent cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The modified version of the Food Standard Agency Nutrient Profiling System Dietary Index (FSAm- NPS DI) underpinning the Nutri-Score front-of-pack label has been used in public health strategies to address the deleterious consequences of poor diets. This study aimed to assess the association between the FSAm-NPS DI and some CVD risk factors including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, plasma glucose levels, triglyceride levels, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and diastolic and systolic b…
Born under a lucky star? Latin American CEOs' perceptions about their own career development
2014
This article explores Latin American Chief Executive Officers' (CEOs') perceptions about the influence of career self-management practices and chance events on their career pathways. Through an edited topical life story approach, we investigate the relationship between those variables throughout CEO's career trajectories in the Latin American context. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with 22 CEOs working for multinational companies were conducted. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed with the aid of QSR NVivo 7 software. The study showed that even in volatile macroeconomic environments, typical of Latin American countries, CEOs do plan their careers. Career planning constitutes the b…
