Misurare l’esistenza di un legame tra criminalità e deprivazione sociale all’interno di un’area metropolitana
No full textAnalisi multidimensionale della deprivazione nella città di Genova
No full textThe first chapter summarizes the framework in which this work is part of a deprivation analysis. The second chapter is dedicated to a review of the main international and Italian indicators, and develops a new systematic review of two of the leading online scientific databases. The third chapter describes the methodology used for data processing and the construction of indicators. The fourth chapter collects the results of the study, the indexes obtained, their representation in deprivation classes, the comparison with the health indicator considered to represent premature mortality, and finally the comparison with the results of the literature

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Misurare l’esistenza di un legame tra criminalità e deprivazione sociale all’interno di un’area metropolitana
No full textEntrepreneurship and the cities in a knowledge-based perspective: evidences from EU
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to answer the following research questions: Is the knowledge of a city environment a stimulus for entrepreneurship? Which knowledge profiles of cities are more propulsive in order to stimulate entrepreneurship? Design/methodology/approach: In order to answer the aforementioned research questions, two multidimensional indexes have been created: Knowledge-Based City Developing Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship (ENT). The sample includes all capital cities in the EU28. The presence of cities from EU28 countries is important to foster the entrepreneurial attitude in each European Country. The authors have also included 32 non-capital cities in the EU that are important hubs, contributing to a sample formed of 60 cities. Findings: The empirical results show that the social and cultural environment may significantly improve the entrepreneurship in EU cities, more than others factors that are usually connected to economic development. Originality/value: The work tries to contribute to the debate on urban economic development and entrepreneurship, providing implication for academics and urban policy makers
Assessing territorial disparities in local public transport quality in italy: an approach based on a composite indicator
No full textThis study examines various aspects of local public transport (LPT)
in Italian regions, focusing on the interplay between public transport usage, user
satisfaction, and accessibility to essential services. It highlights the crucial role of
efficient mobility systems in reducing socio-economic disparities and promoting
sustainable development. Using data from the IstatData platform, a composite
indicator was developed through the Pena Distance method (DP2), which inte-
grates heterogeneous variables with different measurement scales and internal
correlations. The methodology applied would ultimately lead to improved relia-
bility of assessment on public transport quality and access to essential services by
transcending the barriers of traditional approaches. The variables were standard-
ized and weighted with respect to their contribution to information, with special
emphasis on environmental sustainability. The results show sizable discrepancies
among Italian regions in LPT accessibility and user satisfaction. Regions with
soundly developed public transport manifest intense levels of satisfaction and
greater accessibility; on the other hand, there are regions still plagued by chal-
lenges over service quality and availability. This study highlights that enhancing
accessibility as a means of promoting public transport use should be coupled with
steps to enhance overall user satisfaction, while targeted investments in transport
infrastructure and services thus remain indispensable in the reduction of territo-
rial inequalities and, thus, the promotion of inclusive urban development. The
developed composite indicator is then effective in service as a monitoring instru-
ment serving policymakers in designing data-driven strategies in the pursuit of
environmental quality and effectively addressing climate change
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
