No full textSocial partenrship as public private cooperation. Thoughts from the Italian experience
No full textBottom-up initiatives in urban transformation and public goods management, as promoted by recent legislation in Italy, have been indicated by Dr. Eduardo Parisi of the University of Milan as distinctive examples of public-private cooperation that promotes efficiency and inclusion in governance.
The Author discussed how – even under the influence of the international debate – public private partnership is more and more often a cultural and social phenomenon, consistent with the principles of solidarity, participation and inclusion in governance. 
Interactions between Reflection and Praxis in the History of Economic Thought. The case of the Franciscan Cicles from XIII Century Assisi to the Present
No full textResumen: Daniela Parisi analiza el impacto de la vida de San F rancisco de Asís desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento económico. Haciendo referencia particularmente a la atención otorgada en los círculos franciscanos a los signos de los tiempos, la autora traza el camino desde la vida de San Francisco, pasando por la vida de la Orden hasta el presente, y revela los orígenes del movimiento franciscano como un intento de reforma social y religiosa. En primer lugar, el artículo presenta la vida que llevó San Francisco como una “pobreza material voluntaria” en el contexto de los cambios socio-económicos que tuvieron lugar en el siglo XIII, con el advenimiento de la sociedad comercial. Luego, explica cómo la propuesta de San Francisco creció hasta convertirse en una orden religiosa. Finalmente, el artículo intenta iluminar aquellos aspectos en que la Orden Franciscana puede todavía considerarse un signo de los tiempos a través de una existencia comprometida con la pobreza, eliminando lo superfluo de nuestra vida y viviendo en consonancia con el Evangelio.Abstract: Daniela Parisi analyses the impact of the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, from the perspective of the history of economic thought. By referring in particular to the attention given in Franciscan circles to the signs of times, the author draws the path from Saint Francis’s life to the life of the Order until the present, and reveals the origins of the Franciscan movement as an attempt for social and religious reformation. First, the article presents St. Francis’s life of a “voluntary material poverty” in the context of the social and economic changes that took place in the XIII century, with the rise of the commercial society. Then, the author explains how St. Francis’ proposal grew into an Order. Finally, the article aims at illuminating the aspects in which the Franciscan Order can be still considered a sign of the times by living the commitment to poverty and minority, eliminating the superfluous from our lives and living close to the Gospel
Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality in the linewidth of non-equilibrium 1D quasi-condensates
No full textWe investigate the finite-size origin of the emission linewidth of a spatially-extended, one-dimensional non-equilibrium condensate. We show that the well-known Schawlow-Townes scaling of laser theory, possibly including the Henry broadening factor, only holds for small system sizes, while in larger systems the linewidth displays a novel scaling determined by Kardar-Parisi-Zhang physics. This is shown to lead to an opposite dependence of the linewidth on the optical nonlinearity in the two cases. We then study how sub-universal properties of the phase dynamics such as the higher moments of the phase-phase correlator are affected by the finite size and discuss the relation between the field coherence and the exponential of the phase-phase correlator. We finally identify a configuration with enhanced open boundary conditions, which supports a spatially uniform steady-state and facilitates experimental studies of the linewidth scaling
The performance gut: a key to optimizing performance in high-level athletes: a systematic scoping review
No full textIntroduction: The gut microbiome represents a key ecosystem influencing athletic performance through energy metabolism modulation, inflammatory response regulation, and recovery optimization in high-level athletes. However, the relationship between performance and gut microbiome composition in high-level athletes remains poorly understood.
Objectives: This systematic scoping review aims to map the current evidence on the relationship between training and gut microbiome in high-level athletes, identify specific patterns in microbial response to different training and sports, analyse the effects of nutritional interventions and highlight some methodological and knowledge gaps in the current literature.
Methodology: Following the PRISMA-ScR framework, a systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science (2015-2025). Studies were selected according to defined criteria, including a population of high-level athletes, interventions through training and/or nutritional protocols and based on outcomes related to performance and health.
Results: Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 12 experimental studies and 7 systematic/narrative reviews. The analysis of the studies revealed possible sport-specific patterns in microbiome modulation, with distinctive alterations in metabolic profiles, significant correlations between microbial stability and athletic performance, synergistic effects between training and probiotic supplementation and significant impacts of nutritional strategies and hormonal contraceptives on microbiome composition. The heterogeneity in analysis methodologies and the limited duration of studies emerge as the main limitations of the present study.
Conclusions: The evidence suggests that the significant role of the gut microbiome in athletic performance optimization may be considered in the future, highlighting the importance of implementing an integrated approach between training and nutrition. Further studies are needed to define specific microbiome trends for different types of sports, competition levels and supplementation targeted at implementing performance outcomes in high-level athletes

Detection and classification of multirotor drones in radar sensor networks: A review
No full textThanks to recent technological advances, a new generation of low-cost, small, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is available. Small UAVs, often called drones, are enabling unprecedented applications but, at the same time, new threats are arising linked to their possible misuse (e.g., drug smuggling, terrorist attacks, espionage). In this paper, the main challenges related to the problem of drone identification are discussed, which include detection, possible verification, and classification. An overview of the most relevant technologies is provided, which in modern surveillance systems are composed into a network of spatially-distributed sensors to ensure full coverage of the monitored area. More specifically, the main focus is on the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensor, which is a key technology also due to its low cost and capability to work at relatively long distances, as well as strong robustness to illumination and weather conditions. This paper provides a review of the existing literature on the most promising approaches adopted in the different phases of the identification process, i.e., detection of the possible presence of drones, target verification, and classification
Safe Administration of anti-PD-L1 Atezolizumab in a Patient with Metastatic Urothelial Cell Carcinoma and End-Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis
No full textAnti-PD-L1 (programmed cell death-ligand 1) agents, such as atezolizumab, have been approved for the treatment of different advanced cancers. However, no study enrolled end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, and to our knowledge, there are no significant published data about safety and efficacy of PD-L1 inhibitors in this population. Here, we report the first case of a male patient with metastatic urothelial cell carcinoma and ESRD on dialysis, safely treated with atezolizumab
