Industrial Districts and the City: Relationships in the Knowledge Age. Evidence from the Italian Case
No full textThe spatial implications of fordist and district-based patterns of development have had a profound effect on the debate about the role of the city. While the city is reputed to be the crucial provider of basic public goods within the fordist model, its role seems more nuanced, if not disputable, when the district model prevails. This disregard for the city is probably due (a) to the fact that the revival of the debate on marshallian districts has placed strong emphasis on the agglomeration economies internal to the districts themselves, while relatively omitting the urban ones, when not emphasising the burden of urban diseconomies; (b) to the countryside roots of most district pioneers. The quarrel was further fuelled with the advent of ICTs, the fragmentation of the productive processes and the possibility of displacing phases at a global level. The paper argues that this is only the early part of the history. The advent of ICTs has had not only functional although important consequences on the internal organisation of firms and industry and on economic geography as a whole; it has also, however, made innovation and knowledge ? rather than cost-saving policies ? the crucial drivers of the competitiveness of firms and local economic systems. The notion of knowledge has profoundly changed too, and the main change consists in the shift that is occurring from Learning I to Learning II, that is from the "production and accumulation" of knowledge according to pre-established codes, to its "generation and articulation" thanks to an endless reshaping of cognitive codes. On this prospect, while firms, places and regions are increasingly conceptualised as Learning II milieus, cities are proving to be a crucial and irreplaceable milieu for knowledge generation. As a consequence, it is becoming necessary to reassess the relationships between industry and the city. Within this new situation, industrial districts may suffer a severe condition of marginality from the central driver of knowledge generation, owing to their lack of internal competences in dialoguing with the city, and/or the lack of suitable mediators
Introduction to entrepreneurship and digital humanities
No full textResponding to several societal challenges, as in pandemics, climate crisis, mass migration, ageing populations, terrorism and conflicts, has resulted in a “new normal” state of permanent or poly crisis. Such a state requires responses and solutions that can only be delivered by working across traditional disciplinary, sectoral and institutional boundaries. Indeed, during the COVID-19 pandemic it was clear that we needed medics for vaccines and digital expertise for contact tracing. At the same time, experts in communications, language and behavioural sciences were also critical in ensuring public support and vaccine uptake. Historians played a role in providing insights from previous
pandemics. The complexity of current times, reflected in the rapid changes of the job
market, requires an integration between technical and soft skills, digital tools and ethical considerations, posing new challenges for the education system. The complex integration across disciplines, prompted by the digital revolution and technological acceleration, should be underpinned by a deeper understanding of the relationship between entrepreneurship education (EE) and digital humanities (DH), and their applications in the field of (responsible) business

Perspectives on entrepreneurship education. A review of empirical results, policy frameworks and methodological suggestions
No full textEntrepreneurship education (EE) programmes are booming in Europe at both the university and the vocational-school level. In the post covid-19 pandemic, EE has been promoted even further as a key policy tool to improve the level of competitiveness and innovation of European regions, through the creation of new ventures. Although national and regional governments have invested considerable resources in EE over the last two decades, extant research has reported mixed results about the impact EE exerts on students’ entrepreneurial intention (EI), skills, personal traits and career paths. The literature on EE is also broad and fragmented. Furthermore, there is still not a common framework regarding the design of EE programmes and the tools to assess their effectiveness. This paper offers three contributions to the study of EE. First, it reviews a selection of most cited and relevant articles about the impact of EE on students’ EI, to identify the main theoretical aspects and empirical findings. Second, this review synthesises both the advantages and the disadvantages of the most used empirical strategies and tools in this field of research; then, drawing on the studies reviewed, some methodological suggestions for evaluating EE programmes are proposed. Third, after describing the European and the Italian policyframeworks for EE, this paper presents a selection of recommendations which may inform the design and the implementation of both EE programmes and public policies
Different Phases of Disease in a Highly Characterized Cohort of Lymphocytic Myocarditis: Clinical and Electrophysiological Characteristics
No full textIntroduzione: la biopsia endomiocardica (BEM) è un esame diagnostico necessario per confermare il sospetto clinico di miocardite linfocitaria (ML) e per identificarne l’eziologia. La BEM fornisce quelle informazioni istologiche ed immunoistochimiche fondamentali per distinguere le varie fasi di malattia. Obiettivi: lo scopo dello studio consiste nella caratterizzazione e comparazione degli aspetti clinici ed elettrofisiologici associati alle varie fasi anatomopatologiche di malattia nei pazienti con diagnosi di ML confermata dalla BEM. Metodi: è stato condotto uno studio prospettico e multicentrico, in cui sono stati inclusi tutti i pazienti con una diagnosi di ML valutati presso tre centri italiani di riferimento per la cura delle aritmie. Sulla scorta delle risultanze anatomopatologiche ed in accordo a quanto presente nella Letteratura, è stata applicata una classificazione che individua le seguenti tre fasi di malattia: ML acuta (MLA), ML cronica attiva (MLCA) e miocardite guarita (MG). I tre gruppi così ottenuti sono stati confrontati in termini di presentazione clinica e risultanze degli accertamenti diagnostici non invasivi ed invasivi. Risultati: nei 122 pazienti inclusi nello studio (MLA, n=44; MLCA, n=42; MG, n= 36), le aritmie ventricolari complesse sono state riscontrate frequentemente in ciascuna fase di malattia (n=109, 89%), ma la fibrillazione ventricolare è risultata essere più comune nella MLA (p=0.028). Alla risonanza magnetica cardiaca, il Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) è stato osservato con maggiore frequenza nei pazienti con MG e MLCA rispetto ai pazienti con MLA (94.4% vs. 92.9% vs. 50%, p<0.002), mentre l’edema miocardico è stato riscontrato più spesso nella MLA che nella MLCA, risultando completamente assente nella MG (90.9% vs. 50% vs. 0%; p<0.001). Pertanto, l’edema miocardico è risultato essere il migliore predittore clinico indipendente dell’infiammazione miocardica confermata dalla BEM. Al mappaggio elettroanatomico, sono state riscontrate meno frequentemente aree di basso voltaggio nella MLA rispetto alla MLCA o alla MG. Inoltre, è stata osservata una associazione regionale significativa tra l’edema in uno specifico segmento miocardico e la presenza di elettrogrammi di normale ampiezza nella medesima sede (OR=0.24 [0.10-0-54]; p<0.01), oltre che tra LGE ed aree di basso voltaggio (OR=2.86 [1.19-6.97]; p=0.019). L’estensione delle aree di basso voltaggio è risultata essere associata all’inducibilità di aritmie ventricolari sostenute mediante stimolazione ventricolare programmata (p=0.03), specialmente nei pazienti con MG. Conclusioni: la ML è una patologia altamente eterogenea e le sue diverse fasi presentano caratteristiche cliniche, morfologiche ed elettrofisiologiche specifiche. Saranno necessari ulteriori studi per identificare potenziali marcatori elettroanatomici dell’infiammazione miocardica.Background: endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is required to make a definite diagnosis of lymphocytic myocarditis (LM), to identify its etiology, and to classify LM into different phases. Objective: to characterize and compare clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of different biopsy-proven LM phases, namely acute myocarditis (AM), chronic active myocarditis (CAM), and healed myocarditis (HM). Methods: all patients with a diagnosis of LM at three Italian referral centers were prospectively enrolled. According to EMB findings, LM was classified as AM, CAM, or HM; per-group comparisons of clinical presentations, non-invasive, and invasive findings are reported. Results: among the 122 enrolled patients (AM: n=44; CAM: n=42; HM: n=36), complex ventricular arrhythmias were very common overall (n=109, 89%), but ventricular fibrillation was slightly more prevalent in AM (p=0.028). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in more patients with HM and CAM than AM (94.4% vs. 92.9% vs. 50%; p<0.001), while edema was more common in AM than in CAM, being absent in HM (90.9% vs. 50% vs. 0%; p<0.001). Accordingly, edema was the strongest independent clinical predictor of EMB-proven active inflammation. Electroanatomical mapping revealed a lower prevalence of low-voltage areas (LVAs) in AM than in CAM or HM. We observed a strong association between edema at a specific myocardial segment and normal voltages at that site (OR=0.24 [0.10 – 0.54]; p<0.01), as well as between LGE and LVAs (OR=2.86 [1.19 – 6.97]; p=0.019). The extension of LVAs was linked to inducibility by programmed electrical stimulation (p=0.03), with maximal association in HM. Conclusions: LM is a highly heterogeneous disease, and its different phases are characterized by diverse clinical, morphological, and electrophysiological features. Further research is required to identify electroanatomical markers of inflammation

No full textThe allocation of public resources in the post-Covid-19 era. New challenges for industrial policy
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic has further triggered new trajectories of structural change, while fuelling the debate on legislative bargaining and the distribution of scarce resources. In this complex scenario, industrial policy has reappeared in the agenda of several countries as a key tool to tackle the process of accelerated change. Industrial policy should not only select tools, sectors and economic targets, it should also include the evaluation of societal goals and the principles of legality and democracy. However, several governments are attempting to both centralise power and speed-up decision making, thus by-passing the rule of law. Drawing on a selection of experiments on legislative bargaining, the aim of this paper is twofold. First, the paper proposes an extension of the experiment of Fréchette, Kagel and Lehrer (2003), to further understand how open and closed amendment rules impact on the behaviour of proposers and voters, when it comes to take urgent actions in a distributive model. Second, the proposal aims to contributing to the debate on industrial policy as a tool to govern structural change, by providing empirical evidence to support the adoption of open amendment rules and the inclusion of societal goals in the legislative bargaining process of industrial policies and resource allocation. Policy implications are presented from both the international and the national standpoint, by focusing on the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP)
Blockchain, Data Protection and P2P Energy Trading: A Review on Legal and Economic Challenges
No full textBlockchain technology (BCT) enables the automated execution of smart contracts in peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. BCT-based P2P platforms allow the sharing, exchange and trade of energy among consumers or prosumers as peers, fostering the decarbonization, decentralization and digitalization of the energy industry. On the other hand, BCT-based P2P energy trading relies on the collection, storage and processing of a large amount of user data, posing interdisciplinary challenges, including user anonymity, privacy, the governance of BCT systems and the role of energy market players. First, this paper seeks to review the state of the art of European data protection law and regulations by focusing on BCT compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 2018. Second, it explores both the potentials and the challenges of BCT-based P2P energy trading from a legal–economic perspective. To do so, the paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach which intertwines both law and economics, by reviewing the recent literature on BCT and P2P energy trading. Findings have revealed that the deployment of BCT-based P2P energy trading is still in its pilot stage because of technology immaturity, data protection uncertainty, incomplete disintermediation and the lack of both user awareness and collaboration among market players. Drawing on the review, the paper also proposes a selection of solutions to foster the implementation of BCT-based P2P energy trading
