La duplice anomalia: donne e invecchiamento nel road movie italiano contemporaneo
No full textIl presente contributo esamina la rappresentazione dell’invecchiamento e della mobilità femminile nel road movie italiano contemporaneo, con particolare attenzione alle figure di donne anziane protagoniste. Tali rappresentazioni costituiscono una doppia anomalia: da un lato, la rigenderizzazione di un genere tradizionalmente dominato da personaggi maschili e connotato da un immaginario patriarcale; dall’altro, la presenza di donne oltre i 55 anni, fascia d’età generalmente sottorappresentata nel cinema italiano. Sebbene il road movie internazionale abbia occasionalmente proposto variazioni sul modello maschile e giovanile — come in Thelma & Louise (Ridley Scott, 1991) o Mammuth (de Kervern e Delépine, 2010) — l’intersezione tra genere femminile e invecchiamento rimane scarsamente esplorata, sia nella produzione cinematografica sia negli studi accademici. Muovendo dal lavoro di Bernadette Luciano (2023), che ha analizzato tre film italiani con protagoniste anziane, questo saggio propone una lettura complementare fondata sui quadri della gerontologia culturale e della teoria dei generi cinematografici. Attraverso il close reading di Acqua e anice (Corrado Ceron, 2022) e il riferimento ad altri titoli italiani del genere, il contributo mostra come la rappresentazione delle protagoniste resti vincolata a modelli narrativi che enfatizzano l’alterità e il declino legati all’età. Si evidenzia infine come il cronotopo della strada, fondamento del genere, mantenga una struttura simbolica patriarcale che limita la possibilità di una piena agency femminile, perpetuando stereotipi genderizzati e ageisti nella rappresentazione delle donne viaggiatrici

No full textCorrection to one figure and the corresponding numbers in the text are noted for the paper. A wrong cross-section was used for the theory prediction of t ̄tA(→ t ̄t), which was estimated to differ by around 1% with respect to the one of t ̄tH(→ t ̄t). It was found later that the production cross-section for t ̄tA(→ t ̄t) can be up to 60% higher than the one of t ̄tH(→ t ̄t) for tan β ∼ 1. This affects the theoretical prediction shown in figure 7, and the limits in the tan β vs mH/A plane shown in figure 8(a). The changes in the text are noted for sections 8 and 9. • In the scenario where the scalar H and pseudo-scalar A bosons have equal masses and both contribute to BSM t ̄tt ̄t production, values of tan β below 1.9 and 0.7 are excluded for mH/A between 400 GeV and 1000 GeV, respectively, at 95% CL instead of 1.6 and 0.6. • In the scenario where only the pseudo-scalar A boson contributes to BSM t ̄tt ̄t production, values of tan β below 1.5 and 0.5 are excluded for mA between 400 GeV and 1000 GeV, respectively, at 95% CL instead of 1.2 and 0.5. The original plot for this scenario is not included in the paper as it was nearly identical to the one where only the scalar H boson contributes to BSM t ̄tt ̄t production, and was therefore omitted. After correction, the updated limits in the tan β vs mA plane are shown in figure 8(c)

Prospettive giurisprudenziali sul danno ambientale in Giappone. Un modello per un’IA sostenibile
No full textIn a context shaped by new global challenges in turmoil due to climatic emergency, Japanese case law on environmental tort could constitute a significant experience. Through judicial resolution of environmental disputes, Japanese courts have developed relevant criteria in the environmental tort law. This paper aims to analyse the innovative aspects developed in Japan, with the purpose of identifying a model capable of addressing the challenges posed by advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence. In particular, the paper will seek to highlight the most relevant features that may offer new perspectives and insights even beyond Japan’s borders, in light of the global dimension of both climate change and the advent of AI
Wheelerness and Complementation
No full textWheeler languages, introduced to capture a class of regular languages compatible with an ordered and indexable structure, form a well-behaved subclass of the regular languages. In this paper, we study a little-explored property of such languages: closure under complementation. Specifically, we provide a complete characterization of Wheeler languages whose complement is also Wheeler. Our results offer a deeper understanding of the internal structure of these languages and have both theoretical implications-within the classification of regular languages-and practical applications, particularly in fields leveraging coherent orderings, such as text indexing and genomic data analysis
Effect of must temperature and aspergillopepsin-I supplementation on PR-protein derived peptides
No full textProtein instability in wines is challenging, and despite many efforts to find satisfactory alternatives to bentonite, both in terms of stability and quality, the solutions are limited in the wine industry. Among those proposed, aspergillopepsin-I supplementation (AP-I) completely stabilises wine when combined with the flash heating of musts, without compromising wine quality [1, 2]. However, the pasteurisation of must remains an arduous and economically disadvantaged process. Nevertheless, AP-I supplementation during fermentation has been reported to improve stability indices [3] through a mechanism that is still not fully explained.
This study investigates the effect of AP-I supplementation on the number and concentration of peptides resulting from the degradation of grape-derived proteins and the influence of temperature and reaction time. A Gewürztraminer grape must was heated at 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C in the presence or absence of AP-I (100 μg/L). The temperature was maintained for 1, 180, and 360 min, after which the musts samples were frozen, until analysis. The peptide composition of the samples was analysed using high-throughput ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to data-independent acquisition-based ion mobility separation-enabled high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-DIA-IMS-HRMS) and peptide mapping was conducted according to [4], [5].
AP-I supplementation significantly increased both the number of individual peptides (up to +51% at 40°C) and the abundance (up to +120% at 20°C) of grape-derived peptides. A statistically significant increase was observed regardless of temperature and was consistent across all analysed protein derivatives (Chitinases, PR-protein, Polyphenol oxidases, and Thaumatin-like proteins). Regarding reaction time, all treatment intervals increased both the number and concentration of grape-derived peptides with respect to the untreated control. However, extended treatment duration did not result in a further increase, potentially indicating an elevated rate of reaction with proteins suspected to be degraded.
The addition of AP-I to grape must, enlarged the peptides pool within the grape juice, also at temperature below 40°C. This new approach in the use of the enzyme is suggesting a proteolytic effect not only when AP-I is coupled with high temperature
Evaluating Factors Influencing Dynamic Modulus Prediction: GRA-MLR Compared with Sigmoidal Modelling for Asphalt Mixtures with Reclaimed Asphalt
No full textThe dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures (|E*|) is a key mechanical parameter in the design of road pavements, yet direct laboratory testing is time- and resource-intensive. This study evaluates two predictive models for estimating |E*| using data from 62 asphalt mixtures containing reclaimed asphalt: a grey relational analysis–multiple linear regression (GRA-MLR) hybrid model and a mechanistic sigmoidal model. The results showed that the GRA-MLR model effectively identifies influential variables but achieved moderate predictive accuracy (R2 values varying from 0.4743 to 0.6547). In contrast, the sigmoidal model outperformed across all temperature conditions (R2 > 0.96) and produced predictions deviating by less than ±20% from measured values. Temperature-dependent shifts in factor influence were observed, with stiffness and gradation dominating at low temperatures and reclaimed asphalt (RA) content becoming more significant at higher temperatures. While the GRA-MLR model is advantageous, offering rapid assessments and early-stage evaluations, the sigmoidal model offers the precision suited for detailed design. Integrating both models can balance computational efficiency and provide a balanced strategy, with strong predictive reliability to advance mechanistic–empirical pavement design
Cinema Indipendente Italiano (1961-1976/77). Storiografia, campo discorsivo, crisi epistemica
No full textQuesto studio analizza i regimi discorsivi attraverso i quali il Cinema Indipendente
Italiano (CII), attivo tra il 1961 e il 1977, è stato definito, marginalizzato o rimosso
dalle storiografi e italiane tra il 1970 e il 1982. A partire da un insieme selezionato
di testi critici e storiografi CI, l’indagine si articola attorno a due domande principali:
quali regimi discorsivi hanno reso possibile – o impedito – l’enunciazione del cii
come oggetto epistemico? E in che modo queste confi gurazioni rifl ettono tensioni
epistemiche, ideologiche e ontologiche interne alla storiografi a cinematografi ca italiana?
Il metodo adottato integra una lettura diacronica, che segue lo sviluppo e le
trasformazioni dei discorsi nel tempo, con un’analisi trasversale, che ne mette in relazione
le posizioni teoriche, le categorie interpretative e le soglie di legittimazione. Il
CII emerge così non tanto come oggetto da reintegrare retrospettivamente nella storia
del cinema, quanto come campo discorsivo attivo, capace di interferire con le logiche
stesse della visibilità storica. La sua presenza intermittente, instabile e non riconducibile
alle categorie prevalenti tra anni Settanta e primi Ottanta mette in tensione i
presupposti della narrazione storiografi ca e sollecita una ridefi nizione del rapporto tra
pratiche critiche, atti di memoria e costruzione del sapere storico.
–– This study examines the discursive regimes through which Italian Independent Cinema
(CII), active between 1961 and 1977, has been defi ned, marginalized, or erased in
Italian film historiographies produced between 1970 and 1982. Based on a selected
body of critical and historiographic texts, the investigation revolves around two core
questions: which discursive conditions have enabled—or obstructed—the articulation
of cii as a historical object? And how do these confi gurations refl ect epistemic,
ideological, and ontological tensions within Italian fi lm historiography?
The methodological approach combines a diachronic reading, which traces the development
and transformation of discourses over time, with a transversal analysis that
relates theoretical frameworks, interpretive categories, and thresholds of legitimacy.
Within this framework, CII emerges not as an object to be retrospectively integrated
into the history of cinema, but as an active discursive field—one that disrupts conventional
logics of historical visibility. Its intermittent, unstable presence—irreducible
to the prevailing categories of the Seventies and early Eighties—puts pressure on
historiographical assumptions and invites a redefi nition of the relationship between
critical practices, acts of memory, and the production of historical knowledge
