Le città creative in Europa. Scenari e progetti
2008
Nella nuova Era Urbana la città creativa ci si propone come uno scenario fecondo per l’innovazione dell’urbanistica e della progettazione urbana verso la capacità di guidare le profonde trasformazioni che le città stanno producendo come poderosi motori dello sviluppo. Le città più dinamiche del futuro prossimo – quella di cui stiamo già vivendo il prologo – saranno città creative, non solo detentrici di poderose risorse culturali, ma soprattutto produttrici di nuova cultura, creatrici di nuovo valore urbano. Le culture-based competition cities del XXI secolo saranno, infatti, quelle città in grado di competere nel panorama internazionale attraverso la valorizzazione e la promozione della pr…
Piccole capitali creative
2011
Nel secolo urbano che abbiamo di fronte, la città sarà lo scenario della competizione delle energie, delle risorse umane, delle intelligenze collettive e della creatività per la costruzione di un’evoluzione più compatibile con le identità e le vocazioni e più sostenibile rispetto alle risorse ed alle sensibilità del territorio. I segnali delle sue forme, delle sue relazioni e delle sue identità sono già evidenti in alcune città del presente ed ad essi sono dedicate numerose ricerche urbanistiche, sociologiche ed economiche. Ma i segnali sono evidenti e trasmettono ispirazioni e stimoli anche a chi osserva la città per mestiere di progettista, di pianificatore, di stratega dello sviluppo. Il…
Media Literacy in I taly
2019
In Italy, the media literacy (ML) movement has a long grassroots tradition. Main actors are from civil society (academics, associations, church communities, teachers, media professionals, educators), with some growing support from local and national institutions. While digital literacy has stably entered the school system through funds, projects, and teaching resources aimed at improving students' digital skills, only recently has a more sociocultural view of digital technologies developed, thanks also to the National Plan for Digital School issued by the Ministry of Education in 2015. For the future, more commitment to developing the following three important directions is needed: conducti…
Stochastic models for wind speed forecasting
2011
Abstract This paper is concerned with the problem of developing a general class of stochastic models for hourly average wind speed time series. The proposed approach has been applied to the time series recorded during 4 years in two sites of Sicily, a region of Italy, and it has attained valuable results in terms both of modelling and forecasting. Moreover, the 24 h predictions obtained employing only 1-month time series are quite similar to those provided by a feed-forward artificial neural network trained on 2 years data.
Noise influence on electron dynamics in semiconductors driven by a periodic electric field
2008
Studies about the constructive aspects of noise and fluctuations in different non-linear systems have shown that the addition of external noise to systems with an intrinsic noise may result in a less noisy response. Recently, the possibility to reduce the diffusion noise in semiconductor bulk materials by adding a random fluctuating contribution to the driving static electric field has been tested. The present work extends the previous theories by considering the noise-induced effects on the electron transport dynamics in low-doped n-type GaAs samples driven by a high-frequency periodic electric field (cyclostationary conditions). By means of Monte Carlo simulations, we calculate the change…
Assessing the impact of copy number variants on miRNA genes in autism by Monte Carlo simulation.
2014
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are childhood neurodevelopmental disorders with complex genetic origins. Previous studies have investigated the role of de novo Copy Number Variants (CNVs) and microRNAs as important but distinct etiological factors in ASD. We developed a novel computational procedure to assess the potential pathogenic role of microRNA genes overlapping de novo CNVs in ASD patients. Here we show that for chromosomes # 1, 2 and 22 the actual number of miRNA loci affected by de novo CNVs in patients was found significantly higher than that estimated by Monte Carlo simulation of random CNV events. Out of 24 miRNA genes over-represented in CNVs from these three chromosomes only …

LGBTQI+ icons between resistance and normalization: looking for mediatization of emotions in hashtags
2020
The mediatization of emotions emerges as an affordance of social media, the study of which involves paying attention to digital practices and to the construction and expression of public affection. This happens both for the great events and for the daily demonstrations of support or its denial. In this article we work on the phenomenon of the mediatization of emotions linked to two LGBTQI+ icons and expressed in hashtags on Twitter. Placing it in a specific context – the one of well-known television characters who have declared their homosexual orientation or transgender identity. The objective is to understand if the cloud of feelings they have created on Twitter is to be attributed to a t…
Exon deletions of the PAH gene in Italian hyperphenylalaninemics
2010
A consistent finding of many studies describing the spectrum of mutant phenylalanine hydroxylase alleles underlying hyperphenylalaninemia is the impossibility of achieving a 100% mutation ascertainment rate using conventional gene-scanning methods such as Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC), direct sequencing. In recent years, it has been shown that a significant proportion of these undetermined alleles consist of large deletions overlapping one or more exons. These deletions have been difficult to detect in compound heterozygotes by gene-scanning methods due to the masking effect by the non-deleted allele. To date no sys…
