La geografia di Flixbus in Italia
No full textLa sperimentazione indaga la geografia della rete dei collegamenti di Flixbus in Italia attraverso l’integrazione di metodologie GIS con l’analisi delle reti. Il recente sviluppo delle piattaforme digitali è un fenomeno che rivela nuove pratiche socioeconomiche e nuove articolazioni territoriali. L’analisi evidenzia la pervasività territoriale del modello della “piattaforma magra”, adottata da Flixbus, e la presenza di sistemi di relazione basati sull’intermediazione della piattaforma stessa
Sull’inapplicabilità delle disposizioni sulla circolazione stradale in via analogica ex art. 12 delle preleggi e ex art. 1 c. nav. alla circolazione acquea nei canali di Venezia
No full textLa sentenza annotata è lo spunto per approfondire l’interpretazione dell’art. 1, comma 2, c. nav. con particolare riferimento all’applicabilità dell’analogia attingendo alle disposizioni del codice della strada ed applicando le stesse alla circolazione acquea nel Comune di Venezia. Nello specifico ci si interroga sulla possibilità di applicare in ambito lagunare le statuizioni del codice della strada inerenti alla cosiddetta «tolleranza strumentale» giungendo, in ragione della specialità della normativa contenuta nel Codice della Strada, nonché dell’intrinseca diversità tra i due tipi di circolazione stradale ed acquatica, ad una conclusione negativa
Frailty, sarcopenia and cachexia in heart failure patients: Different clinical entities of the same painting
No full textHeart Failure (HF) in elderly patients is a systemic syndrome where advanced age, comorbidities with organ system deterioration, frailty and impaired cognition significantly impact outcome. Cardiac cachexia, sarcopenia and frailty despite overlap in definitions are different clinical entities that frequently coexist in HF patients. However, these co-factors often remain unaddressed, resulting in poor quality-of-life, prolonged physical disability and exercise intolerance and finally with higher rehospitalization rates and mortality. Strategy aim to increase muscle mass and muscle strength and delay the occurrence of frailty state appear essential in this regard. Common HF drugs therapy (b-blockers, angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors) and prescription of physical exercise program remain the cornerstone of therapeutic approach in HF patients with new promising data regarding nutritional supplementation. However, the treatment of all these conditions still remain debated and only a profound knowledge of the specific mechanisms and patterns of disease progression will allow to use the appropriate therapy in a given clinical setting. For all these reasons we briefly review current knowledge on frailty, sarcopenia and cachexia in HF patients with the attempt to define clinically significant degrees of multiorgan dysfunction, specific "red alert"thresholds in clinical practice and therapeutic approach
Opinion Dynamic Modeling of Fake News Perception
No full textFake news diffusion represents one of the most pressing issues of our online society. In recent years, fake news has been analyzed from several points of view, primarily to improve our ability to separate them from the legit ones as well as identify their sources. Among such vast literature, a rarely discussed theme is likely to play uttermost importance in our understanding of such a controversial phenomenon: the analysis of fake news’ perception. In this work, we approach such a problem by proposing a family of opinion dynamic models tailored to study how specific social interaction patterns concur to the acceptance, or refusal, of fake news by a population of interacting individuals. To discuss the peculiarities of the proposed models, we tested them on several synthetic network topologies, thus underlying when/how they affect the stable states reached by the performed simulations

No full textSulla trasparenza del prezzo nei biglietti aerei e sui rapporti tra la disciplina nazionale a tutela dei consumatori e la libertà dei vettori in materia di tariffe (nota a sent. C. giust. UE 6 luglio 2017, C-290/16)
No full textLa nota commenta la sentenza della Corte di Giustizia UE, SEZ. IV, 6 luglio 2017, nella quale vengono affrontate due differenti questioni riguardanti la disciplina delle tariffe aeree di cui al reg. (CE) n. 1008/2008. La prima questione trattata nella sentenza annotata riguarda l’interpretazione dell’art. 23, § 1, del regolamento, che disciplina le modalità di indicazione di prezzo e tariffe, evidenziando la necessità della trasparenza del prezzo le cui diverse componenti devono necessariamente venire specificate dalla Compagnia. La seconda questione concerne il rapporto tra l’art. 22, § 1, del reg. (CE) n. 1008/2008 e la normativa nazionale tedesca (art. 307 del BGB) che traspone a sua volta l’art. 6, § 1, prima parte del primo periodo della dir. 93/13/CEE inerente alle clausole abusive nei contratti stipulati con i consumatori
A Search for Gravitational Milli–Lenses
No full textWe have searched for gravitational milli–lens systems by examining VLBI maps of ~ 300 flat–spectrum radio sources. So far we have followed up 7 candidates, with separations in the range 2–20 mas. None have been confirmed as lenses but several of them can not yet be definitively ruled out. If there are no milli-lenses in this sample then uniformly–distributed black holes of 10^6 to 10^8 M_⊙ cannot contribute more than ~ 1% of the closure density
Late Quaternary depositional architecture of Po and Tevere river deltas (Italy) and worldwide comparison with coeval deltaic successions
No full textPo and Tevere rivers form two of the most important deltas of the whole Mediterranean area. Detailed investigations have been carried out in the last decade beneath the present delta plains of these two river systems using borehole data correlation, With the aid of radiocarbon dates and other dating methods (pollens, archaeology) a detailed sequence stratigraphic framework has been constructed in both areas, especially for the last glacial-interglacial cycle. Regional subsidence, combined with short-term sea-level fluctuations of relatively high amplitude, played a fundamental role in creating/subtracting accommodation during the long phase of falling sea level, which followed the Tyrrhenian (substage 5e) transgressive event. A discontinuous record of this phase is present in the subsurface of the Po Plain, whereas poor or no preservation has been detected in the Tevere area. Progradational lowstand wedges accumulated during the last glacial maximum mostly in the central part of the basins, far from the present deltas, and are lacking in the study areas, where a hiatal surface is invariably recorded below the transgressive deposits. Glacioeustasy exerted a major control on sedimentation in both areas during the latest Pleistocene-Holocene sea-level rise. Infilling of fluvial valleys and rapid landward migration of barrier-lagoon systems, in the context of wave-dominated estuaries, characterized the transgressive phase in both Po and Tevere systems. In-place drowning and transgressive submergence mechanisms of barrier migration were effective predominantly between 13.5 and 9 ka Bp. In contrast, shoreface retreat was dominant in the late transgressive phase. The maximum flooding surface (MFS) can be traced physically from continental to marine deposits, and has similar characteristics in the Po and Tevere river systems, being marked by peat layers or lagoonal deposits at landward locations and by distinctive lithological characteristics and micro- and macrofossils. assemblages basinwards. Above the MFS, the early highstand systems tract records initially the filling of the lagoons, followed by the rapid progradation of wave-dominate delta systems and flanking strandplains. Autocyclic processes, such as distributary channel avulsion, delta lobe abandonment, and local subsidence due to sediment compaction were the fundamental controlling factors on sedimentation during deposition of the HST. The stratigraphic architecture of the post-glacial Po and Tevere delta complexes closely resembles the basic facies successions documented from coeval deposits of wave-dominated and wave-influenced clastic coasts, both locally within the Mediterranean area and in other parts of the world. Our study emphasizes, however, some additional features and major differences with previously published depositional models, including (i) the development of backstepping wave-dominated estuaries during transgression; (ii) consistent changes through time in the mechanism of barrier migration; (iii) a later construction of the delta systems, with respect to what traditionally considered.

Arap Amerikan Oyunu Food and Fadwa’da Geleneksel Filistin Yemek Kültürünün Korunması
No full textScholarly literature on the relationship between food and nationalism has achieved further momentum with the ascendancy of food and foodways as cultural heritage onto the international arena by way of such global institutions as The European Union and UNESCO. However, extant literature that explores how national claims to certain food items and practices are inextricably linked with wider, complex economic, cultural, and political issues is marked by sketchy references to food wars between Israel and Palestine which are devoid of a comprehensive analysis of their true nature in the context of Israel/Palestine. This article aims to critically examine in the Arab American play Food and Fadwa (2012) the web of relations between food and nationalism in Israel/Palestine, with particular focus on safeguarding traditional Palestinian food culture in a settler-colonial context. Firstly, I elaborate upon the specific context under which Palestinian and Israeli claims to certain food items inextricably linked to claims making to land and history. Then, I attempt to demonstrate the conceptual gap between food as cultural heritage in the context of Palestine/Israel and food as heritage in the context of 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Finally, I offer culinary sumud in Food and Fadwa as a daily, dynamic, constantly shifting, bottom-top, and multi-level strategy and praxis for safeguarding and sustaining Palestinian food culture against Israel’s culinary colonialism, and as a “non-listed” expression of food heritagization. Such an approach opens up new avenues for alternative under-standings and expressions of food other than those institutionalized conceptions to be found in the lists, inven-tories, and nominations of the 2003 Convention. Therefore, Food and Fadwa has much to say about safeguarding food culture in the context of Palestine/Israel. © 2022, Milli Folklor Dergisi.
