L’IPONATRIEMIA NELL’ANZIANO: UNA PROBLEMATICA SEMPRE ATTUALE
2015
Le alterazioni della concentrazione plasmatica del sodio rappresentano una delle disionie di più frequente riscontro nei pazienti ricoverati e che l’incidenza e la prevalenza aumentano con l’età. Molteplici fattori correlati all’invecchiamento giocano un ruolo in tal senso; ad esempio, variazioni anatomiche e funzionali, modificazioni della composizione corporea, alterazioni dei meccanismi fisiologici che regolano il metabolismo e l’omeostasi del sodio e dell’acqua. L’aumento dell’incidenza di tali disturbi nella popolazione anziana rappresenta un chiaro esempio di come l’invecchiamento è in grado di compromettere le capacità di compenso, di adattamento e l’omeostasi dell’organismo. Alterat…
How the unbanked cope with financial exclusion: Evidence from Pakistan
2016
This article investigates both the coping strategies employed by low-income unbanked consumers in Pakistan and the consequences of those strategies. Qualitative data were gathered from low-income unbanked consumers through in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that unbanked consumers utilize their respective social networks and various market and personal resources to cope with financial exclusion. The utilization of social network resources to cope with financial exclusion typically enabled participants to fulfill their obligations in a positive manner and enhanced solidarity and trust among group members, whereas the use of market and personal resources tended to produce more negative…
The Analysis of the Digital Economy and Society Index in the EU
2019
Abstract The paper analyzes the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), which characterizes the development of digital economy. Based on the data of 28 European countries for 2013–2018, using the panel regression, we studied the influence of the consumption index growth by the purchasing power parity and unemployment among the active population on the structural units of DESI. It is shown that a 1% increase in the consumption index results in about 0.2 increase in the DESI, and an increase in unemployment by 1% leads to about 0.2 DESI decline. It is also shown that the 98% value of DESI is actually determined by its previous trends, and therefore it is impossible to increase this index ra…
Définir et comprendre l’ESS sur les territoires frontaliers franco-suisses :l’observatoire ESSpace
2022
The four Franco-Swiss chambers of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) (Franche-Comté, Vaud, Rhône-Alpes and Genève) collaborated from 2012 to 2014 in an Interreg IV project, the purpose of which was to conduct "a collective reflection to support the development, enhance the value of good practices and social and solidarity initiatives from one region to another" (Project Summary Document, 2015). This reflection aims to understand together how the SSE is experienced in these territories, to explore the similarities, nuances and differences.A corpus of the various definitions of the actors themselves, and selected by these actors, was constituted and analysed according to the method of Co…

THE ESTIMATION OF THE COSTS OF INSULARITY THROUGH A REGRESSIVE ECONOMETRIC MODEL APPLIED TO SICILY
2022
The geographic nature of the islands determines a peculiar condition of peripherality and specific accessibility problems often associated with the presence of structural delays in development processes. Data on the gaps due to insularity, as the case of Sicily clearly shows, returns an alarming picture that highlights employment imbalances, high poverty, high costs for transport, widespread margins, reduced internationalization and a decisive infrastructural inequality. In this work we have tried to offer a contribution to the meager debate on insularity, starting from the measurement of the disadvantage of insularity in economic terms. For Sicily, an estimate of the costs related to the i…
Hume’s Guillotine in Designing Ethically Intelligent Technologies
2020
Intelligent machines can follow ethical rules in their behaviour. However, it is less clear whether intelligent systems can also create new ethical principles. The former position can be called weak ethical AI and the latter strong ethical AI. Hume’s guillotine which claims that one cannot derive values from facts appears to be a fundamental obstacle to strong ethical AI. The analysis of human ethical information processes provides clarity to the possibility of strong ethical AI. Human ethical information processing begins with positive of negative emotions associated to situations. Situations can be seen as consequences of actions and for this reason people can define rules about acceptabi…
Granice wiedzy o literaturze. Słowo o kilku nowych ujęciach interdyscyplinarności (z dodatkiem jednego przykładu)
2015
The paper consists of the review of a number of academic approaches to interdisciplinary research as represented by the Polish theorists of literature (Andrzej Hejmej, Michał P. Markowski, Ryszard Nycz). On the example taken from Tadeusz Nowak’s novel A jak królem, a jak katem będziesz, the author attempts to identify the nature of the close relations between anthropological and literary discourses, where the border line between them lies, and, consequently, what benefits for literary studies stem from anthropological readings.
Dendrochronologie : potentialités et nouveaux enjeux pour l’archéologie préventive
2019
International audience; La dendrochronologie, méthode de datation qui étudie la variation des largeurs des cernes de croissance des arbres, est sollicitée, en archéologie, pour l’obtention d’une date absolue. Elle nécessite un dialogue incontournable entre les différents acteurs de la discipline pour fiabiliser les acquisitions, voire tout simplement obtenir une date. L’analyse des bois archéologiques ne se limite toutefois pas à la seule datation et constitue le point de départ de nouvelles approches qui permettent de combler des espaces et des champs de recherche encore lacunaire, pour le sud de la France notamment. Dans le contexte des changements climatiques actuels, la dendrochronologi…
Political economy as an interdisciplinary approach to European integration studies
2016
Celem niniejszego tekstu jest spojrzenie na studia z zakresu integracji europejskiej z perspektywy ekonomii politycznej. Zabieg taki pozwala na uchwycenie dwóch głównych wymiarów natury Unii Europejskiej, tj. ekonomicznego i politycznego, jak również stymulowania dialogu pomiędzy tymi dwoma sposobami teoretyzowania integracji europejskiej. Niniejszy tekst przybliża zasadniczo ekonomiczny dorobek w zakresie studiów europejskich (w sposób przystępny dla nie-ekonomistów), pozwalając na lepsze zrozumienie procesów, zjawisk i mechanizmów integracji międzynarodowej. The objective of the article is to see the studies on European integration from the perspective of the political economy, which allo…
