    Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are a challenge for shoulder surgeons. There is still no standard treatment protocol. The recent introduction of new arthroscopic techniques and a better grasp of pathogenic mechanisms along with a greater functional demand from patients, have led to the need for a thorough analysis of the problem. This paper analyses the literature in order to simplify the approach to treating partial-thickness rotator cuff tears

    Seeding patterns: the sources of regional diversification

    Relatedness has been largely acknowledged as a major driver of regional diversification: new industries grow out of technologically related industries by means of combinatorial knowledge dynamics and branching processes. However, by emphasizing the role of firms and entrepreneurs in new path creation, evolutionary scholars have not only underplayed the role of extra-regional actors, linkages and networks, but also the role of national state strategies and wider political economic relations. The research seeks to advance our knowledge and evidence about regional industrial diversification by tackling specific gaps in the literature in three distinct but interdependent contributions. The first paper proposes a systematization of the debate on related vs. unrelated diversification, with a focus on the latter and its implications for uneven regional development and sustainability transitions. The second paper analyses the role of two sets of drivers, namely technological relatedness and innovation policies, on the emergence of new Revealed Technological Advantages in the United States (1981-2010), providing evidence for both drivers by means of econometric estimations. The third paper deploys the concept of «related variety», as formulated by Boschma (2005) and Frenken, van Oort and Verburg (2007), to verify if well-diversified and interdependent creative industries determine more pronounced local creative employment growth in the Italian provinces (2008-2010), with corroborating findings

    The geographical proximity of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region to the international borders allows many local car drivers to easily cross the border, giving rise to cross-border fuel purchases. Since 1997, the regional government has enacted laws to counter these outbound flows, and recover a share of tax revenues paid abroad. This work aims to review what has happened so far, identifying the actors involved in the regional policies and some of their moves and counter moves, and highlighting the effects of the current pandemic. The analysis conducted here suggests the need for a new research project that takes into account the distance from the border and current residents’ habits, to assess whether a further change in regional legislation is needed

    L'avvento del post-industriale nella ridefinizione degli equilibri geoeconomici

    La delocalizzazione industriale costituisce la fase finale del processo evolutivo delle economie-paese. Come tale essa appare legata alla terziarizzazione e specificatamente alla finanziarizzazione. I due processi caratterizzano l’attuale periodo storico ma in realtà si manifestano già a cavallo tra ‘800 e ‘900, quando alcuni autori avanzano il concetto di Stato rentier. Nella seconda metà del ‘900 la fine del sistema di Bretton Woods e la successiva deregulation dei mercati sia di beni che di capitali innesca un crescente allontanamento del capitale dagli impieghi produttivi. Nasce così un settore a sé stante, che inghiotte capitali di qualsiasi provenienza e li moltiplica attraverso una serie di meccanismi di pura speculazione. Tale sistema ha raggiunto i suoi limiti con la crisi globale scoppiata nel 2008
