“Who are the ladies?” : women’s representation and identity construction in the HBO series ‘Girls’
2015
This research paper examines the representations and identities constructed in the HBO television series 'Girls', which is considered one of the most groundbreaking television series of recent years due to its realistic and diverse female characters. In this paper, I analyse relevant examples from the first season of the series. The analysis is based on Critical Discourse Studies and various theories of gender and language. The main focus is not only on the linguistic construction of representations and identities, but also on multimodality. In addition to analysing how these linguistic and multimodal features affect representation, it is also considered how the series challenges today's no…

The Italian Consumers’ Preferences for Pasta: does Environment Matter?
2017
Demand for food in developed countries is nowadays moving towards increasing contents of quality requisites. A large part of consumers lives in cities and demand for tasty and healthy food but pays also attention to environmental concerns and cultural references, to express their own lifestyles and ethical values. Agriculture can therefore increase income and employment through the supply of a wide range of valuable goods and services related with the countryside and the environment. As an effect of climate and environmental conditions, pasta made by Sicilian durum wheat, can be considered safer and healthier than standard pasta (alias common pasta) manufactured by major producing companies…
Traceability and Labelling of Food Products from the Consumer Perspective
2017
Traceability of food products plays an important role in improving value chain processes of businesses and their reputation in the marketplace. In the past few years, consumers' concerns about food quality and personal health have been closely related to a continuous improvement of traceability systems and government regulation. Labeling of food products is a very important tool for consumers to acquire information about the quality of food, particularly at the purchase decision stage of the buying process. The objective of this research is to know consumers' preferences in regards to information contained in food labels. More particularly, this study focuses on what information is required…
Translating recent results from the Cardiovascular Outcomes Trials into clinical practice: recommendations from the Central and Eastern European Diab…
2017
Aims These recommendations aim to improve care for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high cardiovascular (CV) risk in Central and Eastern Europe. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD) are major interdependent comorbidities in patients with T2D, accounting for 50% of mortality. Following recent CV outcomes trial (CVOT) results, including those from EMPA-REG OUTCOME®, LEADER®, SUSTAIN™-6 and, most recently, the CANVAS study, it is essential to develop regional expert consensus recommendations to aid physicians in interpreting these newest data to clinical practice. Methods The Central and Eastern European Diabetes Expert Group (CEEDEG) followed a Delphi method …

Examining the diaries at the end of the eighteenth century with the help of the water colored planks of the sites taking into account the great…

La valutazione multicriteriale nella pianificazione territoriale: riflessioni teoriche su un caso applicativo
2009
La svolta epistemologica della scienza delle valutazioni ha consentito di ri-fondare una nuova economia e una nuova teoria del valore su processi evolutivi, comunicativi e autopoietici dei sistemi complessi, grazie agli apporti (convergenti) di discipline diverse e solo apparentemente distanti (fisica, chimica, biologia, sociologia, semiotica, ecc.). Questo nuovo approccio culturale è funzionale al superamento delle chiusure autoreferenziali tra la scienza delle valutazioni e la pianificazione, e alla comprensione della complessità dei sistemi territoriali. La gestione della complessità richiede l’impiego della valutazione multidimensionale per analizzare i molteplici elementi che costituis…
