Multinational knowledge spillovers with decentralised R&D: a game-theoretic approach
No full textThis paper provides a theoretical model of the trade-offs that an MNE faces when organising its R&D as decentralised or centralised. R&D decentralisation avoids having to adapt centrally developed innovations to local markets, being able to use the specific know-how of the subsidiary. In addition R&D subsidiaries can be used to source locally available external know-how. At the same time, however, R&D internationalisation intensifies the spillover of valuable know-how to competitors located in the foreign markets. The analysis demonstrates the importance of the intensity of competition in the local market in determining the size of both the benefits and costs of R&D decentralisation. It shows that when R&D is undertaken abroad in association with production, the local knowledge base is not unequivocally a pulling factor attracting R&D investments by foreign MNEs, depending on the level of local competition. The paper also shows that efficiency in reverse intra-company technology transfers is a critical factor in benefiting from technology sourcing. The results thus illustrate the complementarity of efficient internal and external knowledge management systems. In addition the model suggests that, with a fall in the cost of intra-company technology transfers, relative market size loses importance as a locational factor for R&D decentralisation.

Null and overt subject biases in Spanish and Italian: a cross-linguistic comparison
No full textOver the last twenty years a great deal of linguistic research has investigated how anaphoric expressions retrieve their antecedents in the discourse showing that a variety of pragmatic factors together with grammatical and cognitive constraints contribute in determining the distribution of different types of expressions. A particularly interesting case for the study of such phenomena is that of Null Subjec

Francesca Bertini
No full textFrancesca Bertini was an extremely careful guardian of her image and legacy throughout her whole life. A major star of the international silent screen, she has recounted her hugely successful career in different autobiographic writings and interventions. An invaluable source of information for the history of Italian cinema, these documents are notoriously reticent—and sometimes unreliable—about certain personal details of her life. For example, she never revealed to have been first registered in 1892 at an orphanage in Florence as Elena Taddei, the daughter of Adelina di Venanzio Fratiglioni, a single mother and possibly a stage actress (Jandelli 2006, 31-2). While many sources indicate her first surname to be Seracini, the only concrete information we have about her acquired identity is that she became Elena Vitiello in 1910, when her mother married Arturo Vitiello, a Neapolitan propman or furniture dealer. Bertini was introduced to the sprightly Neapolitan theatrical milieu at an early age. She got her first, supporting role on stage when she was just seventeen, in the widely acclaimed 1909 production of “Assunta Spina”—an intense southern melodrama by reputed author Salvatore Di Giacomo. One of the most representative texts of the new Neapolitan popular theater, “Assunta Spina” was later transposed on screen by Bertini in 1915. The final result is still regarded as one of the masterpieces of Italian silent cinema and an emblematic example of Verist cinema. By 1915, Bertini had already been cast in more than 50 films, including many one and two-reel historical reconstructions and a few features. The following years saw her continuing to grow in popularity, with her films gaining huge acclaim wherever they were presented, from Europe to Latin America and from Russia to the United States
Inter-relazione tra figure e giovani generazioni: un’antologia di documenti
No full textL’intervento di Francesca Cecconi analizza il teatro di figura – marionette e burattini – come forma artistica strettamente connessa con il teatro per l’infanzia e la gioventù. Tracciando una panoramica storica a partire dal secondo dopoguerra, Cecconi evidenzia come molti artisti abbiano risposto alla crisi del teatro tradizionale riconvertendo il loro repertorio verso un pubblico infantile, più disponibile all’ascolto e all’immaginazione. L’autrice sottolinea il valore pedagogico del teatro di figura, capace di stimolare fantasia, partecipazione e crescita personale nei bambini. Viene inoltre proposta una riflessione critica sulla dicotomia “teatro per bambini” vs “teatro con bambini”, mettendo in luce il valore dell’animazione teatrale come pratica attiva e coinvolgente. L’articolo si chiude con un richiamo all’importanza del gioco, dell’improvvisazione e dell’interazione nel teatro educativo, e alla necessità di riconoscere i bambini come spettatori esigenti e partecipi

Solving boundary value problems in the open source software R: package bvpSolve
No full textThe R package bvpSolve, for the numerical solution of Boundary Value Problems
(BVPs) is presented. This package is free software which is distributed under the GNU
General Public License, as part of the R open source software project. It includes some well
known codes to solve boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and
differential algebraic equations (DAEs).
In addition to the packages already available for solving initial value problems, the new
package now allows non expert users to efficiently solve boundary value problems in the
problem solving environment R
