Precarious work and social protection: between flexicurity and social pollution
2019
The chapter explores the possibility of changing the way in which any social and legal system guarantees social protections for the weakest workers. To do so it elaborates a unique functional set for classifying all kind of precariat, which it names the ‘un[der]-protected workers’. The issue of the precariat is held as an imbalance in the flexicurity balance, considered akin to pollution in the social environment: so-called social pollution. The proposed method to counterbalance the lack of security/protection and rebalance flexicurity is a ‘(non-wage) Social Security (virtual or) Fake (Pigouvian) Tax’ (the SSFT). The idea is that this device either forces companies to hire through SERs (wh…
Facial masks in children: the position statement of the Italian pediatric society
2020
AbstractFacial masks may be one of the most cost-effective strategies to prevent the diffusion of COVID 19 infection. Nevertheless, fake news are spreading, alerting parents on dangerous side effects in children, such as hypercapnia, hypoxia, gut dysbiosis and immune system weakness. Aim of the Italian Pediatric Society statement is to face misconception towards the use of face masks and to spread scientific trustable information.
Are validation scales useful for Detecting Deliberately Faked Personality Tests? A study in incarcerated populations
2012
Personality self-report questionnaires are frequently used in forensic settings to detect psychopathology, to predict recidivism, and to assess adaptability to life in prison. Although most personality questionnaires include validity or control scales, even with the scales most outcomes can be easily manipulated. The aim of this study is to analyze the utility of the control scales of the Situational Personality Questionnaire. A sample of 200 male prisoners was randomized into two groups. Both groups completed the SPQ as a part of the mandatory psychological assessment when they entered prison, and then again 8 months later. In time 2, one group received instructions to falsify the results …
Forme di narrazione e comunicazione partecipative. A partire da Estetica relazionale di Nicolas Bourriaud
2021
Il contributo utilizza il modello teorico dell'Estetica relazionale di Nicolas Bourriaud per comprendere le dinamiche della comunicazione che la contemporaneità sta sperimentando sui social network. The contribution uses the theoretical model of Nicolas Bourriaud's Relational Aesthetics to understand the dynamics of communication that are used and experienced on social networks.
Fake News. Soluzioni design driven per il citizen journalism
2022
Il progetto PO FESR “Fake News” sviluppa una ricerca che mette in campo le metodologie e gli strumenti progettuali del design della comunicazione e dell’informazione con l’obiettivo di elaborare nuove possibilità di rendere più efficaci i meccanismi automatici di valutazione dell’autenticità, originalità e rilevanza dell’informazione prodotta dal giornalismo partecipativo. Nell’ambito interdisciplinare (giornalismo, informatica, sociologia, etc.) interessato dal progetto, il contributo del design ha articolato un’ampia ricognizione sulle molteplici dimensioni del fenomeno e in particolare sulle interazioni tra design dell’informazione e giornalismo etico e partecipativo. Le connessioni tra …
Packaging and plastic are synonymous with waste: But is that really the case?
2022
The paper presents the value of packaging and misconceptions about plastic. In addition to shedding light on clichés and fake news about plastic and packaging, it outlines opportunities to consider the use and management of packaging for responsible waste collection; and new forms of consumption and supply chains to facilitate the transition from the current linear consumption model to one that is more responsible and open to a circular economy.
Deceptive design e disinformazione. Il ruolo delle tecnologie persuasive nella diffusione delle fake news.
2022
Dal 2016, la letteratura scientifica ha registrato una drastica crescita dell’interesse per il tema delle fake news e ha dimostrato la responsabilità dei progettisti nel supportare fenomeni di polarizzazione. L’applicazione malevola di principi di psicologia cognitiva alla progettazione delle interfacce digitali, detta deceptive design, persegue la manipolazione dell’utente e gioca un ruolo chiave nella diffusione delle fake news: questo contributo offre un insieme di strumenti utili all’identificazione di notizie false, testati in fase di popolazione del database di news per l’addestramento di un algoritmo di verifica nell’ambito del progetto Fake News.
Fake News. A design driven approach
2022
The phenomenon of Fake News affects both individual choices and political opinions and orientations. But pervasiveness of digital technologies and dissemination of fake news are two sides of the same coin; therefore, to stem Fake News we need advanced and interdisciplinary technologies and strategies. Starting from the culture of design, where visual communication and visual information support an ethical approach shared with journalistic communication. Finally, the Fake News project highlighted the innovative potential of Artificial Intelligence, which through metrics and algorithms, but also with the unavoidable contribution of people, for the different design skills involved, can support…
Fake News. Progetto di un algoritmo contro le false verità
2022
As part of the Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3), funded by the European Union, the Sicilian Region has promoted the Fake News project in agreement with the aim of developing information exchange and comparison tools online. The goal is to concentrate European resources in emerging technological sectors that can really develop in the same region by focusing on the construction of local knowledge, rather than on the transfer of high-cost external technological resources. Fake News project has the main objective the experimentation of advanced ICT technologies (artificial intelligence) applied to the phenomenon of disinformation, through the dialogue between the private entrepreneur (a com…
Fake News Spreaders Detection: Sometimes Attention Is Not All You Need
2022
Guided by a corpus linguistics approach, in this article we present a comparative evaluation of State-of-the-Art (SotA) models, with a special focus on Transformers, to address the task of Fake News Spreaders (i.e., users that share Fake News) detection. First, we explore the reference multilingual dataset for the considered task, exploiting corpus linguistics techniques, such as chi-square test, keywords and Word Sketch. Second, we perform experiments on several models for Natural Language Processing. Third, we perform a comparative evaluation using the most recent Transformer-based models (RoBERTa, DistilBERT, BERT, XLNet, ELECTRA, Longformer) and other deep and non-deep SotA models (CNN,…
