Post-vernacular self-translation: Bringing Languages Back from the Brink ernacular Self-Translation: Bringing Languages Back from the Brink
Full text linkThough less common and therefore less studied, this last scenario is perhaps more exciting insofar as it shows the potential of self-translation as a form of collective empowerment (and not merely a tool for individual self-promotion.) Not so long ago, speakers of fragilized or endangered languages that no longer functioned as full-fledged vernaculars in everyday life but have become «post-vernacular» (Shandler), felt that they had no choice but to become translingual writers in a “major” language. For a variety of reasons (censorship, lack of standard grammar and spelling, their own limited literacy), publishing in their native or heritage language was hardly an option. The first quarter of our century has however witnessed a revival of some of these languages, with self-translation (which Shandler does not study) sometimes playing a not insignificant role for long-neglected languages that were/are on the brink of extinction. By developing literacy, empowering minorities and visibilizing formerly invisible languages, post-vernacular self-translation becomes an exercise in inclusive democracy
I pensieri ultimi di Martino: dalla “profezia” del «Villaggio Elettronico» all’osservazione dell’Infosfera
Full text link[Martino's Final Thoughts: From the “Prophecy” of the «Electronic Village» to the Observation of the Infosphere] Michelangelo Pira’s prophetic vision, as expressed in Il villaggio elettronico, remarkably anticipates the socio-technological dynamics of the digital age. Through an in-depth exploration of the anthropological, legal, and social dimensions of the global network, the “electronic village” is portrayed as a metaphor for universal connectivity and a blueprint for participatory digital democracy. Focusing on critical challenges such as the concentration of informational power and digital inequalities, this study advocates for a network that is both inclusive and sustainable. Pira’s intellectual contributions remain a vital framework for shaping a digital future centered on justice, democracy, and human dignity
NMR data of pyrazole derivatives as GSK-3beta inhibitors
No full textTwo sets of pyrazole-based derivatives (1a-k and 2-5 a-c) have been designed and synthesized by linking the privileged pyrazole scaffold with different amide side chains, in order to obtain inhibitors of GSK-3β enzyme. The compounds showed also chelating properties towards toxic metals. The dataset contains the free induction decay (fid) of 1H and 13C NMR spectra registered on a Bruker spectrometer working at 600 MHz and at 150 MHz of the new compounds and the corresponding jdx format files
Data on the monitoring of volatile compounds in virgin olive oils, which was conducted over a twelve-month storage period, using a combination of targeted and untargeted analytical approaches
No full textThis data set contains data related to the evolution of volatile compounds in virgin olive oils during one year of storage. The influence of various agronomic and technological factors, including agricultural practices, olive ripeness at harvest, oil storage duration, and packaging methods, were evaluated. The data were obtained through a combined approach that encompasses sensory analysis as well as both targeted (HS-GC-IMS, SPME-GC-MS) and untargeted (FGC-Enose) analytical techniques. This research work is developed within the project funded under the PSR 2014-2020 program – Type of Operation 16.2 “INnovazione e PROmozione della filiera dell’OLIO extra vergine di oliva emiliano-romagnolo (INPRO-OLIO)” and within project OnFoods (ON Foods - Research and innovation network on food and nutrition Sustainability, Safety and Security - Working ON Foods)

Reference data for benzofuran-Rg clusters
No full textThe dataset contains experimental fits for various benzofuran-Rg clusters. Specifically, it includes data from experimental fits of benzofuran - Ar, and benzofuran -Kr clusters, derived using the SPFIT/SPCAT programs from rotational spectra measured in the 2 – 20 GHz frequency range. For some clusters, isotopologues of the molecular complexes in natural abundance are also included. The benzofuran - Rg clusters exhibit intriguing structural features, as they represent prototypical aggregations of aromatic rings that interact with rage gas
QUANTHEM. Data from numerical simulation of integrable quantum circuits. Version 1
No full textThe dataset contains data generated in the framework of Horizon Europe ERC QUANTHEM project. The data were obtained from numerical simulation of an integrable quantum circuit (the so-called XXZ integrable quantum circuit) and from numerical evaluation of analytic formulas describing the behavior of such quantum circuit at large space-time scales, in the framework of the "generalized hydrodynamics" (GHD) theory
Breaking Stereotypes: How Valuing Workers’ Preferences Improves Task Allocation and Performance
Full text linkFirm performance depends critically on the efficient allocation of tasks across employees. Yet, task assignment decisions are often shaped not only by productivity considerations but also by managerial biases and gender stereotypes—frequently resulting in women being disproportionately assigned low-promotability, female stereotyped tasks. This paper investigates whether making workers’ task preferences visible to managers can reduce gender-stereotypical assignments and improve overall outcomes. We conduct two complementary experiments. In the first, participants act as workers, completing real-effort tasks and reporting their task preferences. In the second, a separate group of participants from the same subject pool takes on the role of managers and assigns tasks to pairs of workers under varying information conditions. In the control condition—where managers lack access to workers' preferences—task assignments are more likely to reflect gender stereotypes. In contrast, when managers are informed of workers’ preferences, stereotypical assignments decrease, and managerial earnings improve. We also find that preference-informed task allocation leads to higher managerial earnings, suggesting that reducing gender bias not only promotes fairness but also enhances organizational efficiency. Our findings highlight the potential of low-cost informational interventions to promote fairer and more effective task allocation practices
StopUP. Development of a combined filtration and ion exchange process for the treatment of combined sewage overflow
No full textCombined sewer overflow (CSO), discharged by sewers during rain events, is a major cause of pollution in surface water bodies. The main goal of this work was to develop a compact CSO treatment process by filtration and cation/anion exchange and to validate it with actual CSO in a real WWTP environment. Preliminary screening of several cation and anion exchange materials led to the selection of a molecular sieve (MS13X) that retained ammonium with an 11.6 mgN g-1 capacity, and a layered double hydroxide (calcined Sorbacid 911) that removed phosphate with a 2.2 mgP g-1 capacity. For both materials, the development of a regeneration procedure allowed to perform several adsorption/regeneration continuous-flow cycles with actual CSO without losses in adsorption performance. The packed bed heights were scale-up to 40 cm (Sorbacid 911) and 60 cm (MS13X) without variations in performance. The combined filtration/cation exchange/anion exchange process was tested at pilot scale in a real WWTP environment, with results detailed in Table 7. The pilot plant testing demonstrated removal rates of 68% for COD, 78% for BOD5, 85% for TSS, 88% for total P, 57% for total N, and 67% for faecal coliforms. Significant removals were also observed for heavy metals (Zn 83%, Cu 89%, Ni 81%) and pesticides (desethyl-atrazine 100%), whereas the process was largely ineffective towards PFAS (12%). While 1-µm microfiltration contributed significantly to overall removals, the cation/anion exchange process was crucial for achieving high removals of specific pollutants, including ammonium (57%), phosphate (95%), and total N (57%). This work represents a relevant step towards the development of a compact CSO treatment process featuring a limited land requirement and the possibility to withstand prolonged periods of dry weather
Atti del XXVII Convegno Nazionale di Agrometeorologia. Agrometeorologia: dall’informazione all’applicazione
Full text linkL’attuale contesto climatico pone interessanti sfide ai diversi comparti dell’agricoltura italiana e stimola
Enti di Ricerca e Servizi Operativi a fornire agli operatori del settore strumenti innovativi utili alla
salvaguardia della qualità e della quantità delle produzioni, rispondendo in modo efficace e tempestivo
alla mutevolezza delle condizioni atmosferiche.
In questo contesto è sempre più importante capire le potenzialità dei nuovi strumenti a disposizione di
agricoltori e tecnici, ma anche le problematiche legate alla qualità dei dati che se ne ricavano, e che
vengono utilizzati dagli operatori a supporto delle scelte gestionali.
Il generalizzato aumento della richiesta evapotraspirativa rende essenziale l’efficientamento della
gestione della risorsa idrica a tutte le scale, dal singolo campo al comprensorio, mediante una accurata
quantificazione della disponibilità idrica dei suoli, dei consumi idrici delle colture ed un efficientamento
dei sistemi di distribuzione. Queste problematiche sono particolarmente interessanti in un territorio
come quello delle Marche, particolarmente sensibile alla gestione delle acque
