The Dark Side of the Metaverse: Managing Conflict and Human Resource Management Challenges in Virtual Environments.
No full textNowadays, the metaverse represents a disruptive technology that companies are increasingly integrating into their business models, particularly in human resource management. One of the most promising aspects of its adoption concerns knowledge management, as virtual environments can enhance collaboration, knowledge sharing, and training. However, despite its recognized potential, the metaverse can also generate conflicts among employees, which may negatively impact organizational dynamics. Virtual interactions differ significantly from traditional face-to-face communication, potentially leading to misunderstandings, power imbalances, and increased tensions among team members. This paper explores this “dark side” of the metaverse by focusing on conflict management within virtual teams. To investigate this phenomenon, a case study methodology was adopted, which is particularly suitable for analyzing contemporary and emerging topics. Specifically, the study examines relevant cases of innovative companies that have implemented metaverse-based solutions in their operations. The findings highlight key challenges in managing team conflicts within virtual environments and provide valuable insights into mitigating such tensions. Moreover, the study offers practical implications for HR managers and IT specialists, outlining strategies to foster a more effective and conflict-resilient virtual workspace. By addressing these challenges, organizations can better harness the full potential of the metaverse while minimizing its risks
Questioni di genere
No full textGender equality presupposes equal opportunities and equal treatment
for every individual, whether male or female, equal access to resources, equal treatment in the workplace, education and healthcare. Even today, women are oppressed and harassed by a world that is still male-dominated, bound by gender stereotypes and the idea that women are only good for housework and are subject to violence and harassment. Disparity affects women, but not men, which is why identifying strategies to protect and safeguard women cannot and should not be considered discriminatory towards men. A civil legal system must guarantee strict compliance with the principles of fairness, equality and non-discrimination, so as to ensure effective equality for every member of society, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or race. This paper therefore reviews the various measures taken over time in the field of gender equality, from welfare policies to active policies.L’uguaglianza di genere presuppone pari opportunità ed un eguale trattamento per qualsivoglia individuo, uomo o donna che sia, eguale accesso alle risorse, eguale trattamento lavorativo, didattico ed educativo, sanitario. Tutt’oggi il genere femminile è invece oppresso, vessato da un mondo ancora maschilista, legato a stereotipi di genere e alla concezione per la quale la donna è avvezza alle mere faccende familiari, soggetta a violenze, molestie. La disparità colpisce le donne, non anche gli uomini, ragione per la quale individuare strategie atte a tutelare e salvaguardare il genere femminile non può e non è considerato essere discriminante per il genere maschile. Un ordinamento giuridico civile deve garantire l’ossequioso rispetto del principio di equità, uguaglianza, il principio di non discriminazione, in modo da garantire l’effettiva parità di ciascun membro della società, a prescindere dal genere, etnia, religione, razza. Nel corso di questo elaborato vengono, pertanto, noverati i vari interventi succedutisi nel tempo in materia di parità di genere, dalle politiche assistenziali, alle politiche attive
Development and Validation of the Riemma Inflammation Score for Endometriosis (RISE): A Preoperative Tool to Predict Disease Presence and Deep Infiltrating Phenotype
No full textBackground: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory gynaecological disease
characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue and systemic immune activation.
Despite advances in imaging, the diagnosis of endometriosis—particularly deep
infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)—remains delayed and frequently requires surgery
for confirmation. The RISE score (Riemma Inflammation Score for Endometriosis)
was designed as a pragmatic, low-cost, and biologically grounded diagnostic tool
integrating inflammatory, biochemical, and clinical parameters to identify women
with endometriosis and to discriminate between superficial and deep phenotypes.
Methods: This prospective two-step study enrolled consecutive women
undergoing surgical assessment for suspected endometriosis. In Step 1, candidate
variables including CA-125, neutrophil, platelet and monocyte counts, lymphocyte-
to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), albumin, and pain
scores were recorded prior to surgery. A multivariate predictive model was
developed using logistic and LASSO regression to identify women with
histologically confirmed endometriosis versus controls. In Step 2, a refined model
was derived to distinguish deep from superficial disease among affected women.
Each model underwent internal validation and calibration testing.
Results: In Step 1, the RISE model achieved excellent discrimination for
endometriosis (AUC = 0.904, 95 % CI 0.871–0.939), with sensitivity = 0.86 and
specificity = 0.81 at an optimal cut-off of 0.418. Calibration was almost perfect
(slope = 1.02; intercept = –0.05; Hosmer–Lemeshow p = 0.976). Key predictors
included monocyte count, LMR, serum albumin, and dysmenorrhoea severity.

In Step 2, the RISE model successfully differentiated deep from superficial
endometriosis (AUC = 0.742, 95 % CI 0.653–0.830; sensitivity = 0.64; specificity =
0.76; cut-off = 0.381; Hosmer–Lemeshow p = 0.368). Low albumin and reduced
LMR were the strongest discriminants of deep infiltrating lesions.
Discussion: The RISE project demonstrated that systemic inflammatory and
biochemical alterations can accurately predict both the presence and the depth of
endometriotic disease. The two-step approach, prospectively validated, mirrors
clinical reasoning: first recognising disease presence, then defining its severity.
The RISE framework thereby bridges laboratory and clinical diagnostics, offering
a reproducible, inexpensive, and accessible adjunct to imaging-based evaluation.
Conclusions: The RISE score represents an innovative and biologically plausible
tool that quantifies systemic inflammation to predict endometriosis presence and
phenotype. Its strong diagnostic performance, prospective validation, and
feasibility suggest potential for widespread clinical implementation and integration
into modern diagnostic algorithms. External multicentric validation and
incorporation with imaging or molecular data are warranted to confirm its clinical
and prognostic utility

No full textIl tesoro fraseologico letterario italiano di G. Fumagalli. Diffusione, variabilità e schematicità delle citazioni famose
No full textThe phraseological inventory of the world's various languages constitutes a unique linguistic heritage, and their singular objects, the phrasemes, when read attentively, often also represent the historical-cultural specificities of the associated communities. In recent years, phraseological research has shown increasing interest in famous quotations or winged words that serve as the basis for the creation of patterns; however, such studies have so far been limited to individual case studies. There are no studies that have systematically addressed the topic through an analysis of quotations codified in respective language collections. The present research addresses the need to provide such a project for the Italian language and the famous quotations pertaining to the literary tradition, thereby marking the beginning of a possible series of in-depth empirical phraseological studies aimed at filling gaps in linguistic research on famous quotations. The study aims to analyze famous Italian literary quotations identified in the collection “Chi l’ha detto? Tesoro di citazioni” by Giuseppe Fumagalli and associated with the authors considered major figures in Italian literature from a phraseological perspective. By conducting an analysis based on the digital textual corpus itTenTen20 from Sketch Engine, the research sheds light on the phenomena of propagation, variability, and schematicity of famous literary quotations in modern communicative contexts.L’inventario fraseologico delle diverse lingue nel mondo è un patrimonio unico linguistico e i loro oggetti singolari, i frasemi, se letti con attenzione, rappresentano spesso anche le particolarità storico-culturali delle comunità associate. Di recente è aumentato l’interesse della ricerca fraseologica per le citazioni famose o frasi celebre che servono come base per la creazione di modelli, tuttavia, tali lavori sono stati finora limitati a singoli casi di studio. Non vi sono studi che abbiano affrontato sistematicamente l’argomento attraverso un’analisi delle citazioni codificate in delle raccolte nelle rispettive lingue. La presente ricerca si dedica alla necessità di fornire un tale progetto per la lingua italiana e le citazioni famose afferenti alla tradizione letteraria segnando così l’inizio di una possibile serie di approfondenti studi empirici fraseologici per colmare le lacune nella ricerca linguistica nell’ambito delle citazioni famose. Lo studio si propone di analizzare le citazioni famose italiane letterarie individuate nella raccolta “Chi l’ha detto? Tesoro di citazioni” di Giuseppe Fumagalli e associate agli autori considerati maggiori della letteratura italiana dal punto di vista della fraseologia. Conducendo un’analisi basata sul corpus testuale digitale itTenTen20 di Sketch Engine la ricerca getta luce ai fenomeni di diffusione, variabilità e schematicità delle citazioni famose letterarie in contesti comunicativi moderni

No full textIl Museo provinciale Campano di Capua: breve storia di un'antica istituzione nell'Italia Contemporanea
No full textIl saggio si muove da un’esigenza fondamentale della museologia: avere sempre chiaro il forte legame del museo
con il presente e con il ruolo che ha assunto nel mondo contemporaneo recuperando e valutando i tratti salienti
del suo percorso storico che costituiscono “l’ossatura” di qualsiasi teoria e progetto d’intervento sull’istituto stesso.
Partendo quindi dalla storia (soprattutto istituzionale) del Museo Campano e attraversandone, sia pur molto velocemente,
i suoi centocinquant’anni, s’intende riflettere su alcune delle tappe del percorso del museo utili a chiarirne
gli attuali limiti, le evidenti contraddizioni e le notevoli potenzialità.The essay arises from a fundamental need in museology: to always keep in mind the strong connection between the
museum and the present, as well as the role it has assumed in the contemporary world. This involves recovering and
assessing the key aspects of its historical trajectory, which constitute the "backbone" of any theory or intervention
project concerning the institution itself. Starting from the (mainly institutional) history of the Museo Campano and
briefly traversing its 150 years, the intention is to reflect on some of the museum's milestones that help clarify its
current limitations, evident contradictions, and significant potential
