ES Kosmosa politikas un likumdošanas attīstība: drošības aspekti
2017
Maģistra darbā „Eiropas kosmosa likumdošanas un politikas attīstība: drošības sfērā” tiek aplūkota Eiropas kosmosa politikas un likumdošanas ietvara attīstība drošības rīku nodrošīnājumā ES dalībvalstīm ar ES kosmosa programmu palīdzību. Par tēmas aktualitāti liecina fakts, ka mūsdienu pasaule, kurā dzīvojam ir ļoti mainīga un ir nepieciešams rast tehnoloģiskus risinājumus ārpus ierastās vides, lai uzlabotu Eiropas Savienības iedzīvotāju drošību un aizsardzību. Daudzas no ikdienas norisēm balstās un ir atkarīgas no kosmiskajām sistēmām, kosmosa tehnoloģijām un to attīstības. Arī Eiropas Savienība, kā starptaustiski zināms aktieris globālajā vidē, cenšas apvienot Eiropas valstu juridiskos, t…

The role of Christianity in the European Union’s heritage and history initiatives
2022
In its political discourse, the European Union balances Christian heritage, the secularization of European societies, liberal values and Europe’s culturally and religiously diverse contemporary reality. This article explores how the European Union narrates the story of Europe and the role of Christianity in this narrative. This exploration is based on two qualitative case studies focusing on key heritage and history initiatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament: the European Heritage Label and the House of European History. The article argues that issues related to Christianity become easier to handle for the European Union when they are dealt with as memory, tradition…
Autonomie locali e politiche pubbliche per l’economia digitale
2019
La rivoluzione digitale ha causato in questi anni un significativo disalli- neamento tra chi subisce le conseguenze delle nuove forme economiche e la distribuzione delle responsabilità regolative tra i diversi attori. Il risultato è che le città sono le più colpite dai cambiamenti in atto, ma non sempre hanno strumenti adeguati a fronteggiare le novità e interpretarle secondo i propri bisogni e necessità. A partire da queste premesse, il presente lavoro analizza l’impatto delle tecnologie digitali sul tessuto socio-economico delle città e ragiona sulle contrapposte esigenze di politiche ritagliate sulle spe- cificità locali e, al contempo, di regole omogenee per il mercato. Su questa inelim…

Variants in ZFHX3 are associated with atrial fibrillation in individuals of European ancestry
2009
We conducted meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in participants from five community-based cohorts. Meta-analyses of 896 prevalent (15,768 referents) and 2,517 incident (21,337 referents) AF cases identified a novel locus for AF (ZFHX3, rs2106261, risk ratio [RR]=1.19; P=2.3×10−7), an association that was replicated in the German AF Network (odds ratio=1.44; P=1.6×10−11). Combining the discovery and replication results, rs2106261 was significantly associated with AF (RR=1.25; P=1.8×10−15).
The Influence of Religion on Life Satisfaction in Italy
2021
Italy is the cradle of Catholicism and, despite the secularization process, religion continues to be part of its national culture. Although Italian sociologists have investigated the religious paradigm in Italy, there are aspects of such phenomenon still little explored. This paper examines the potential influence religion has on individuals’ life satisfaction. Data from the European Value Study survey provides evidence of a two-way interaction between religion and life satisfaction, with a substantial effect only in the case of public religious forms. This association seems to be moved by the mechanism of social support, and it differs across Italian regions. Results confirm the hypothesis…
Audit Institutions in the European Union: Public Service Promotion, Environmental Engagement and COVID Crisis Communication through Social Media
2020
This article analyses Social Media (SM) use as a promotion tool for public institutions in the public audit sector. The authors propose a quantitative model to assess online engagement of 94 European audit institutions (national and regional) with their stakeholders, based on SM and web activity metrics of these institutions, with a focus on pressing matters such as environment, sustainability and the current COVID pandemic. The proposed model may be applied to assess organisations from any public or private sector. The research finds that SM presence helps audit institutions to promote their services more effectively by directing their stakeholders to extensive content on the audit institu…
Is the European Commission a hothouse for supranationalism? : theorising and exploring the world of Commission civil servants
2005
Does the European Commission (Commission) manage to transform and re-direct the roles played by Commission civil servants? To test the old neo-functionalist claim on loyalty transfer among civil servants, this article provides fresh survey and interview data on seconded national experts in the Commission. The transformative powers of the Commission are tested by assessing the extent to which seconded national experts adopt supranational role perceptions. Theoretically, the emergence of supranational role perceptions is accounted for by considering (i) processes of pre-socialisation outside the Commission, (ii) processes of resocialisation inside the Commission, and (iii) organisational inco…
