The linguistic construction of confirmation niches in online comment sequences
2018
This study starts from the consideration that new media are platforms where communication and language are re-negotiated to adapt new frames (e.g. new politeness, multimodal exchanges) and, in particular, that fora are participatory frameworks, that represent a mined engagement in writing practices (Stommel and Koole, 2010). Discussions are organised as multiparty conversations on several topics, written by participants (i.e website users accessing a parenting forum) at different levels of expertise about health issues (mostly earned through their experience of parenthood; Kata, 2010). the challenge in this paper is : 1) to study asynchronous forum as a talk-in -interaction venue, where seq…
Il percorso (incerto) della c.d. web tax italiana tra modelli internazionali ed eurounitari di tassazione della digital economy
2019
L’articolo analizza gli aspetti essenziali dell’evoluzione delle strategie di tassazione delle imprese della digital economy, tanto a livello internazionale, quanto a livello eurounitario, per concludere, poi, con un’analisi dell’art. 1, commi 35 e segg., della Legge 30 dicembre 2018 n. 145 (legge di bilancio 2019), che ha introdotto, nel nostro sistema una vera e propria imposta sulle imprese che operano nel settore digitale, denominata “imposta sui servizi digitali” (ISD). Si osserva, a riguardo, che nel comparto della digital economy, quanto all’aspetto della tassazione, è possibile individuare tre diversi approcci. Il primo attribuisce particolare rilievo alla c.d. “presenza economica s…
La Fiscalidad de la inteligencia artificial y de los robots
2020
I regimi attuali che disciplinano, sotto il profilo fiscale, i beni strumentali sono difficilmente applicabili nei riguardi dei robots di ultima generazione dotati di intelligenza artificiale. Le possibilità di loro impiego sono sempre più vaste, comprendendo i più disparati settori. Sarebbe possibile definire un tributo specifico volto a tassare la loro produzione o il loro utilizzo nell'ambito dell'esercizio dell'attività di impresa o di lavoro autonomo.
Asking for medical help by posting on the net: genre, functions and ethical issues
2014
On the basis of the growing of the number of sites related to health issues and online conversation, statistical research tend to acknowledge that the communication practices of health message boards have significant roles to play in the era of online counseling (Anderson, 2003; Kim & Yoon, 2011; Mulholland, 1999; Eysenbach and Diepgen 1999; O'Connor and Johanson 2000; Shuyler and Knight 2003; Gooden and Winefield 2007). However, one of the main worries concerning these spaces has been the uncontrolled information that is provided by users with no defined roles and who do not/cannot take responsibility for what they say. Previous studies were intended to explore how people discussing health…
Inspiratory Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Association With Health-Related Quality of Life in Healthy Older Adults
2021
The main purpose of this study was to explore similarities and differences in the association between two capabilities affecting the cardiorespiratory system (overall and multifactorial cardiorespiratory fitness and inspiratory muscle strength) and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), in a group of active healthy seniors. Sixty-five individuals (age, 73.01 ± 5.27 years; 53 women) who participated regularly in a multicomponent training program completed the EuroQol 5D-5L questionnaire, the 6-min walking test (6MWT), and the maximum inspiratory pressure test (MIP). Non-parametric correlations (Spearman's rho) were conducted to analyze the association between HRQoL indices (EQindex and …

RESULTS: Notably, 28% of female health care workers with LBP had at least moderate levels of depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with decreased health-related quality of life and work ability. Multisite pain was not significantly associated with work …

Job Resources and Work Engagement: Optimism as Moderator Among Finnish Managers
2014
The aim of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of optimism in the relationship between job resources (organizational climate, job control) and work engagement among Finnish young managers (N = 747). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that both job resources and optimism exerted a positive effect on work engagement and its three dimensions of vigor, dedication, and absorption. The moderation results showed that optimism can diminish the negative impact of low job resources on work engagement. These findings provide evidence to the importance of including personal resources in future research conducted on motivational process. Additionally, these findings provide sig…
