Technological Districts and the Financing of Innovation: Opportunities and Challenges for Local Banks
2016
The paper deals with the role that local banks (especially credit cooperative banks) might play in financially supporting the development of technological districts and innovative firms. After introducing the concept and features of technological districts, it focuses on the relations between districts and local banks and between the adoption of innovation and local banking. The central part is an econometric exercise aimed at measuring the weight of high value financial services over the income of a sample of Italian credit cooperative banks. Taking into account the cultural, managerial and organizational requirements of local banks, the work provides insights into how this category of ban…
Gli interventi per lo sviluppo locale all'interno delle Regioni ad autonomia speciale
2022
Il tema dello sviluppo locale interessa in modo particolare le aree marginali. Se queste sono dal punto di vista giuridico autonomie speciali si pongono all’analisi dinamiche e sviluppi che meritano una particolare attenzione. È questo il caso delle tre realtà regionali che saranno prese in esame: Valle d’Aosta, Sardegna e Sicilia. Interventions for local development within special self-governing regions. The issue of local development is of particular interest to marginal areas. If these are from a legal point of view, special autonomies arise from the analysis of dynamics and developments that deserve particular attention. This is the case of the three regional realities that will be exam…
Determinantes de la divulgación de información sobre sostenibilidad en los gobiernos locales de Latinoamérica
2022
This paper analyses the socioeconomic factors that influence the disclosure of sustainability information on 99 local government websites in 2018 in countries that make up the Pacific Alliance (PA) in Latin America, associated with internal and external demands that public entities have for accountability in social and environmental issues. We use as methodology a content analysis of the sustainability information disclosed by local entities on their websites and a regression of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). This article shows empirical evidence that the size, budget capacity and the economic level of the municipality are factors associated with the sustainability disclosure on websites due…
Apprentissage de modalités auxiliaires pour la localisation basée vision
2018
In this paper we present a new training with side modality framework to enhance image-based localization. In order to learn side modality information, we train a fully convo-lutional decoder network that transfers meaningful information from one modality to another. We validate our approach on a challenging urban dataset. Experiments show that our system is able to enhance a purely image-based system by properly learning appearance of a side modality. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, the proposed network is lighter and faster to train, while producing comparable results.
Exploring translation strategies in video game localization
2012
This paper addresses the issue of video game localisation focusing on the different strategies to be used from the point of view of Translation Studies. More precisely, the article explores the possible relation between the translation approaches used in the field and the different genres or textual typologies of video games. As the narrative techniques and the story lines of video games have become more complex and well-developed, the adaptation of games entails a serious challenge for translators. Video games have evolved into multimodal and multidimensional products and new approaches and insights are required when studying the adaptation of games into different cultures. Electronic ente…
Construction de logements sociaux et stratégies électorales locales,
2013
Our article examines if local incumbents’ choices regarding social housing construction are influenced by strategic electoral considerations, which might foil the French state’s efforts in favour of greater social mixity. By constructing a probabilistic voting model which integrates a partially mobile population, we show that such strategic considerations let the political choices of neighbouring municipalities become interdependent, and that the intensity of the resulting strategic inter-actions varies in function of the local population’s mobility. These propositions are confirmed by our empirical analysis concerning social housing construction in the Greater Lyon region. A local incumben…

Le scelte strategiche e operative delle banche locali nelle regioni dei distretti tecnologici italiani
2011
Con questo lavoro si intende verificare se si sono manifestati dei cambiamenti associati alla crisi finanziaria globale nelle scelte operative, strategiche e attinenti la natura dell’offerta della particolare categoria di intermediario finanziario rappresentata dalle banche locali. Si cercherà di verificare se quest’ultima tipologia di intermediario, sfruttando i propri punti di forza connessi alla vocazione territoriale delle scelte strategiche incentrate sulla filosofia del relationship lending che pone come valore di riferimento il cliente e di conseguenza alla disponibilità di un portafoglio informativo sulle esigenze del cliente molto più ampio sia stata grado di offrire alla clientela…
Aminopropyltransferases involved in polyamine biosynthesis localize preferentially in the nucleus of plant cells
2012
Plant aminopropyltransferases consist of a group of enzymes that transfer aminopropyl groups derived from decarboxylated S-adenosyl-methionine (dcAdoMet or dcSAM) to propylamine acceptors to produce polyamines, ubiquitous metabolites with positive charge at physiological pH. Spermidine synthase (SPDS) uses putrescine as amino acceptor to form spermidine, whereas spermine synthase (SPMS) and thermospermine synthase (TSPMS) use spermidine as acceptor to synthesize the isomers spermine and thermospermine respectively. In previous work it was shown that both SPDS1 and SPDS2 can physically interact with SPMS although no data concerning the subcellular localization was reported. Here we study the…
Il territorio delle Madonie: da ambito periferico a sistema aperto e integrato
2009
L’argomento del contributo intende muoversi verso una particolare declinazione del termine “periferia” affrontando il tema delle “periferie territoriali”, intese come aree prevalentemente interne, distanti dalle aree metropolitane e con caratteri diversi da quelli che contraddistinguono le periferie urbane. Partendo da una ricognizione della complessa articolazione del territorio siciliano, si vuole indagare su un'entità territoriale con una configurazione geografica storicamente definita: l'ambito delle Madonie in provincia di Palermo, costituito da centri minori, collinari e montani prevalentemente di origine medioevale. Tale ambito, nonostante la progressiva perdita di abitanti con il co…
