Luci e ombre delle disuguaglianze digitali nei Centri per l’impiego in Italia
La società attuale è investita da continui cambiamenti introdotti dalla diffusione di tecnologie digitali, che coinvolgono l’economia, la società, la politica, la cultura, nonché il mercato del lavoro e le annesse politiche pubbliche atte a favorire il job matching. In particolare, da circa due decenni, l’Unione Europea ha indicato come elemento chiave l’ammodernamento dei servizi per l’impiego, puntando soprattutto sul miglioramento dei processi di digitalizzazione inerenti. Tuttavia, il frame che emerge evidenzia una diffusione non omogenea di servizi online, che non agevola la messa in rete dei servizi, sia in riferimento al contesto europeo, sia a quello italiano. A tal proposito, per capire come il quadro si stia evolvendo e adeguando a nuovi dinamismi in evoluzione, nel presente articolo si riportano best practice di digitalizzazione dei Centri per l’impiego riscontrabili in alcune Regioni italiane, insieme ai risultati di un’indagine qualitativa ad hoc svolta nel Lazio, nelle Marche, in Calabria e in Puglia, che ha interessato, tra l’altro, anche le modalità comunicative intraprese con gli utenti per l’erogazione dei servizi
Famiglia e carriere lavorative instabili: una conciliazione sempre più difficile.
Dalla ricerca svolta presso la radiofonia pubblica, un importante comparto della Rai. emerge non solo come il precariato sia un'aspetto dirompente presso questa azienda post-fordista, ma come nuove disparità tra i generi, legate anche alla crescente instabilità del lavoro, vengono fuori. Le responsabilità familiari continuano ad essere mal divise, esendo ancora le donne a farsi carico del lavoro di cura anche in famiglie con elevate credenziali culturali. D'altra parte la ricerca ha messo in luce come anche in una simile organizzazione,postfordista, la discriminazione delle donne nei percorsi di carriera persiste.poiché le carriere dipendono molto dalla cooptazione e dalle conoscenze politich
Il fenomeno Smart City
During the last decades, cities have become increasingly central in the economic, environmental, social and development-related processes, representing a real focal point of the political and economic strategies conducted by different bodies and international legislators. The coexistence of a high number of heterogeneous problems makes the city an ideal platform for testing new digital technologies. Within this framework, the strong correspondence between urban environment and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes evident and is a necessary condition, even if not sufficient, to address local challenges, also in terms of smart sustainable development. The concept of Smart City, therefore, is increasingly referred to as a strategic solution to the problems associated with the irreversible process of urban agglomeration. Within this context, this study aims at providing a framework for such a varied and multidimensional reality, in order to obtain an appropriate and homogeneous definition taking into account all these different aspects, also in the light of current legislation and of European and international perspectives. All this also bearing in mind the main purpose of trying to clarify the Italian position, which is characterised by a significant diversity. Since 1990 the term Smart City has been spreading in conjunction with the liberalisation of telecommunications and the development of services provided through the Internet. However, its definition is likely to remain generic and unshared. The term Smart City has recently become synonymous with cities characterised by an extensive and intelligent use of digital technologies that enable an efficient use of information, even if, actually, intelligent cities imply much more than this, as clearly illustrated in the relevant literature. In particular, since the “Lisbon Strategy” (2000) to “Europe 2020”, the European Union has been investing in the promotion of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, both through specific directives/guidelines/recommendations (from an environmental and technological point of view, but also in a social context) and through European projects dedicated to Smart City development and renewable energy. Within “Europe 2020”, one of the most relevant topic is the realisation of the European Digital Agenda (EDA) attributing a central role to ICT and also establishing clear actions, targets and indicators to monitor the progress of countries towards the achievement of the information society. In accordance with EDA principles, since 1st March 2012 the Italian Digital Agenda has also been established. Therefore, disseminating and improving Smart City experiences implemented at national level, in terms of a more systematic and coordinated vision, becomes urgent in order to better understand and address Italian strong heterogeneity
La capacità attrattiva del mondo della comunicazione. Lavorare nelle radio a Roma tra soddisfazione,vulnerabilità ed equilibri di genere imperfetti
La condizione lavorativa di precarietà in cui moltissimi soggetti sperimentano, sembra in qualche modo mitigata,dal tipo di lavoro che si svolge. E' il caso di alcuni lavoratori e lavoratrici che operano nel settore della comunicazione ed in particolare nelle radio private. La ricerca svolta presso alcune radio private romane ha messo in evidenza come lo svolgere un'attività lavorativa in cui i soggetti si sentono realizzati,attenua la loro condizione di precarieta
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Variations on the Author
“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
