Offloading through Opportunistic Networks with Dynamic Content Requests

2014

Offloading is gaining momentum as a technique to overcome the cellular capacity crunch due to the surge of mobile data traffic demand. Multiple offloading techniques are currently under investigation, from modifications inside the cellular network architecture, to integration of multiple wireless broadband infrastructures, to exploiting direct communications between mobile devices. In this paper we focus on the latter type of offloading, and specifically on offloading through opportunistic networks. As opposed to most of the literature looking at this type of offloading, in this paper we consider the case where requests for content are non-synchronised, i.e. users request content at random …

Analysing Revolution-like Processes in North Africa: A Historical Perspective of the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s

2021

The recent Arab Spring (which started in 2010 and is still going on) has been considered the beginning of a transition process for some Arab countries and in particular North African countries. In the last years a bulimic production of books and articles have investigated the Arab Spring by mainly focusing on events from the 2011 onwards and/ or proposing a single narrow-minded perspective. A broader historical comparative approach is needed for investigating and underlining both similarities and differences among the different target countries and their revolutionary and/or revolutionary-like events/processes, by also contributing (and this is the aim of this article) to shed light on “und…

In facebook we trust? Social media and political engagement, between Italian and Tunisian youth

2020

The article shows the results of a qualitative research on the use of social media by Tunisian and Italian youth, which is part of a broader project on Mediterranean digital culture. More precisely, this work is based on a series of focus groups, and aims at analyzing political participation, engagement and citizen journalism, by focusing on two countries deeply affected by digital propaganda – in Italy, with the growing popularity of Five Star Movement among young people, and in Tunisia with all aftermaths of the Arab Spring. Twelve focus groups were realized, with a total of 96 interviewed. As a result, we will consider two main findings: a critical use of social media, on the one hand, a…

Le rivolte e le loro conseguenze nel mondo arabo contemporaneo

2017

In linea con quanto appena esposto, il presente saggio si pone l’esclusivo obiettivo di fotografare lo stato di transizione dei vari Paesi arabi, proponendo in prima battuta una ricostruzione diacronica degli eventi (a partire dal 2010) e secondariamente analizzando (seppur per sommi capi) quali siano stati (o meglio quali non siano stati) i cambiamenti prodotti dalle presunte “rivoluzioni arabe”. Come parametro relativo alla percentuale del cambiamento ottenuto dalle “primavere arabe” valuteremo il ruolo oggidì ricoperto dalle forze di opposizione ai regimi, le stesse che hanno dato il via alla protesta, all’interno dei sistemi di potere locali. Infine un ultimo paragrafo sarà dedicato all…

Il salafismo in Egitto tra moderazione e pragmatismo: i casi di al-Nur e Hizb al-Tahrir

2014

This essay focuses on the Egyptian salafism, under the light of the theory of the so-called post-Islamism. Paradoxically after the ousting of the President Muhammad Morsi by the military, salafi parties gained space, supporting the second transition and the amendments of the Constitution drafted by the Muslim Brotherhood. Salafisms bears a traditional interpretation of Islam which is at odd with several aspects of democracy and liberal-constitutionalism. But what does it mean, exactly, to be a salafi? And which are the possible outcomes that the salafi participation in politics could generate? After a brief description of the salafi nebula, this essay focuses on the political behavior of tw…

Pneumococcal vaccination in celiac disease

2019

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disorder associated with gluten exposure in genetically predisposed subjects. Areas covered: Infectious disease is one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in CD patients. Invasive streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a particularly dangerous morbid condition in both the general population and celiac patients. Pneumococcal vaccination is the most effective means for its prevention. Expert opinion: In CD, evaluation of spleen function should be useful to select patients who may benefit from vaccination to reduce the risk of pneumococcal disease. Different strategies could be employed: physicians could search for signs of hypos…

I siciliani e il volto nuovo della Tunisia

2008

Nella Tunisia degli anni compresi fra l’occupazione francese del 1881 e la seconda guerra mondiale si verifica l’assunzione di una specifica fisionomia da parte della colonia di siciliani residenti. Prima come meri esecutori, poi come imprenditori e infine anche come progettisti i siciliani, in particolare, contribuirono in maniera determinante, a volte non senza punte di originalità, al volto moderno della Tunisia, integrandosi felicemente con la realtà locale. I siciliani contribuirono a dar vita ad una peculiare architettura contemporanea della Tunisia assicurando, fatto singolare nell’ambito dell’europeizzazione delle città del nord Africa, un’impronta moderna affatto coloniale alla for…
