Risks of gender communication strategies in the Public Sector. The European Union perspective
No full textThe article explores the risks of gender-sensitive communication in the public sector, with a focus on the European Union (EU) that adopted significant gender and inclusive community policies (e.g. the recent Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025). The analysis is framed within a broader theoretical context, where public communication is understood as a strategic tool for strengthening democratic systems, fostering trust, and promoting social inclusion in an increasingly fragmented digital society. Theoretical perspectives on institutional public sector communication, inclusivity, intersectionality, and media polarization are considered to highlight the tensions between normative policy ambitions and the contested, often politicized, nature of gender public discourse in Europe.Against this background, the study aims to understand what kinds of European communication campaigns on gender issues are conducted, how they are disseminated across different platforms, and which risks emerge from the management of media and channels. Additionally, it seeks to examine how gender-related themes are framed and represented, and what risks may arise in terms of inclusivity and effectiveness.To achieve these objectives, the study considers four selected EU communication campaigns launched between 2020 and 2024. A qualitative approach is adopted, drawing on media content analysis and critical interpretation of campaign narratives. The findings, briefly outlined, point to structural, socio-cultural, and political risks that limit the transformative potential of EU gender-sensitive communication
La natura secondo Boccaccio
No full textIl saggio si propone di esaminare le diverse maniere con cui Boccaccio ha concepito e rappresentato gli spazi naturali. Dalla lettura del Ninfale Fiesolano e del Decameron si deduce la città quale spazio chiuso e ben circoscritto destinato all’essere umano, congiuntamente alla necessità di antropizzare gli spazi naturali al fine di averne una fruizione estetica ma anche utile. Da qui l’importanza del giardino, non solo cornice del ‘festeggievole ragionare’, ma emblema stesso del Centonovelle. Le opere più tarde in volgare e in latino accolgono invece il concetto della solitudo loci, proponendo la scelta di dimorare in luoghi agresti e remoti come necessari ai sacra studia e ai sapienti di ogni epoca, una soluzione mutuata dal magistero di Petrarca
Creditworthiness of small and medium enterprises: a fuzzy decision-making approach
No full textSmall and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in global economies but face significant challenges in accessing credit. Traditional credit assessment models often rely on statistical and artificial intelligence methods, which require extensive financial data usually unavailable for SMEs. This study aims to enhance creditworthiness evaluation by integrating financial and non-financial data using a Fuzzy decision-making approach. We apply this model to 33 Italian SMEs collaborating with a local cooperative credit bank (CCB), leveraging financial and strategic indicators such as internationalization and sustainability. This paper combined the fuzzy decision-making approach with the TOPSIS method, as it is easy to implement. However, our fuzzy-based tool can be integrated with other methods, similar to TOPSIS, such as PROMETHEE, VIKOR, or others. Implemented through a VBA & Excel-based template, the tool allows for flexible and gradual decision-making and accommodates financial and non-financial data. Moreover, the tool's ability to interpret results semantically and its design for processing native semantic data are two of its key strengths. Our empirical research shows that the Fuzzy approach improves credit risk assessment by handling heterogeneous data while maintaining ease of implementation. The proposed approach offers several advantages: its simplicity and modularity make it a valuable tool for CCBs to use as a complementary—rather than a substitute—assessment method alongside the existing system for identifying creditworthy companies. This study contributes to the literature on SME credit evaluation, offering a practical, cost-effective, and adaptable tool for financial institutions, particularly CCBs

I libri ad edictum XXXII-XXXIV ad edictum di Giulio Paolo: note interpretative preliminari
No full textIL saggio intende fornire delle prime risultanze circa il metodo di lavoro del giurista Giulio Paolo nella composizione dei libri XXXII-XXXIV ad edictum, in tema di iudicia bonae fidei. Si conferma una chiara tendenza del giurista, individuata marginalmente anche da Ferdinando Bona e da Bernardo Albanese, di stabilire un rapporto prioritario con le testimonianze dei giuriste, ricorrendo innanzitutto alla tradizione del ius civile, pur all'interno dei confini del commento edittale
