A taxonomy of multi-industry labour force skills
No full textThis paper proposes an empirical study of the skill repertoires of 290 sectors in the United States over the period 2002–2011. We use information on employment structures and job content of occupations to flesh out structural characteristics of industry-specific know-how. The exercise of mapping the skills structures embedded in the workforce yields a taxonomy that discloses novel nuances on the organization of industry. In so doing we also take an initial step towards the integration of labour and employment in the area of innovation studies
Changing boundaries and structure of a technological system: lessons from UK retail banking
No full textThis article investigates the factors that have induced and shaped the process of industry evolution of banking in the United Kingdom and, in particular, the reorganization of the retail payments system. It will look at how the effects of technical progress within a changing regulatory framework have contributed to the flourishing of new consumer services, of increasingly specialized technologies and of new models of business organization. In relation to these issues, the paper develops an interpretative framework based on the rapidly expanding body of literature on technological systems. In so doing it argues also that the organization of the payment system has evolved towards a multilayered and increasingly heterogeneous industry in which competition has been fuelled at different levels by the growing diversity of the ecology of agents involved, as well as by the emerging patterns of interaction across them.

Head Injuries
No full textA cranio-encephalic trauma (TBI) is defined as a traumatically induced structural insult and/or an alteration of physiological brain functions as a result of an external force that produces the onset or worsening of clinical symptoms, and a prompt and structured clinical observation is mandatory. To promotes effective clinical assessment and right care for the severity of head injury, early management, observation, therapy, indications for and timing of CT scans and transport decisions are addressed in this chapter
LE COMPETENZE FINANZIARIE DEI CONSOLI: ANALISI DI UN EPISODIO RELATIVO A SCIPIONE AFRICANO
No full textQuesto articolo prende in analisi le relazioni tra senato e consoli riguardo alla gestione delle finanze a Roma. Secondo Polibio, sebbene il senato detenesse un forte controllo sulle normali spese statali, i consoli godevano di una particolare autonomia per i fondi ad essi destinati. Una visione che sarebbe confermata da un episodio avente come protagonista Scipione Africano, il quale, in una seduta del senato collocata dagli studiosi al tempo del suo secondo consolato, avrebbe minacciato i questori di aprire personalmente i forzieri dell’Erario. In questo articolo si cercherà di dimostrare che l’episodio, se attribuibile a uno dei due consolati di Scipione, trova una sua più esatta collocazione al tempo del primo consolato (205 a. C.), e che esso non può essere preso come esempio dell’autonomia dei consoli in campo finanziario. Al contrario, esso sembra costituire un’ulteriore riprova della predominanza del Senato in questo campo
