No full textCompeting goals in food consumption choices: a comparative analysis of student's choices in Bologna and Belgrade
No full textAim of this study is to investigate the role of eight economic, cultural and behavioural macro-factors which drive the choices of millennial consumers in purchasing and managing food. To do so, an online survey has been conducted among the students of the Universities of Bologna (Italy) and Belgrade (Serbia), with the aim of understand how choices related to food are related to nonstrictly economic aspects, such as nationality, gender and age
PLOTINA Final Conference Book of Abstracts. Regendering Science for an Inclusive Research Environment
No full textThis E-book is a result of the H2020 PLOTINA project Final Conference, ReGendering Science. For an inclusive research environment, held in the Università di Bologna (27th-28th of January 2020, https://www.plotina.eu/plotina-final-conference/). It includes the abstracts selected thanks to the call for abstracts that the Consortium – in collaboration with scholars from different European institutions – launched in October 2019.

The language and social behavior of innovators
No full textInnovators are creative people who can conjure the ground-breaking ideas that represent the main engine of
innovative organizations. Past research has extensively investigated who innovators are and how they behave in
work-related activities. In this paper, we suggest that it is necessary to analyze how innovators behave in other
contexts, such as in informal communication spaces, where knowledge is shared without formal structure, rules,
and work obligations. Drawing on communication and network theory, we analyze about 38,000 posts available
in the intranet forum of a large multinational company. From this, we explain how innovators differ from other
employees in terms of social network behavior and language characteristics. Through text mining, we find that
innovators write more, use a more complex language, introduce new concepts/ideas, and use positive but
factual-based language. Understanding how innovators behave and communicate can support the decisionmaking
processes of managers who want to foster innovation
Lezioni di società. L’eredità di Ulrich Beck
No full textQuesto libro è un’occasione di riflessione e di confronto a partire dall’opera di Ulrich Beck, il noto sociologo tedesco scomparso all’inizio del 2015. Ispirato al convegno organizzato dall’Associazione Italiana di Sociologia (AIS), il volume si propone quale spazio di riflessione sull’attualità e sulle applicazioni nella ricerca sociale di parole-chiave come globalizzazione, seconda modernità, modernizzazione riflessiva, società cosmopolita, società del rischio. Sono questi solo alcuni stimoli intellettuali e categorie analitiche per la comprensione del presente che questo studioso ha elaborato nel corso di oltre quarant’anni di attività scientifica e sui quali vivace è stato il dibattito non solo nelle discipline sociologiche. Un volume, dunque, frutto di una comunità interpretativa, che trae linfa creativa e fa ricerca traendo ispirazione dalle opere di uno dei più significativi pensatori contemporanei.
Contributi di: Antonio Camorrino, Andrea Cerase, Francesca Colella, Francesca Cubeddu, Mauro Di Meglio, Maria Paola Faggiano, Federico Fiorelli, Mihaela Gavrila, Andrea Lombardinilo, Sveva Magaraggia, Mariella Nocenzi, Massimo Pendenza, Andrea Rubin, Rossana Sampugnaro, Luca Toschi.

625 kb microduplication at Xp22.12 including RPS6KA3 in a child with mild intellectual disability
No full textHere, we report on a patient with a 625 kb duplication in Xp22.12, detected by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The duplicated region contains only one gene, RPS6KA3, that results in partial duplication. The same duplication was present in his mother and his maternal uncle. This partial duplication inhibits the RPS6KA3 expression, mimicking the effect of loss-of-function mutations associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS). The phenotype of the patient here presented is not fully evocative of this syndrome because he does not present some of the facial, digital and skeletal abnormalities that are considered the main diagnostic features of CLS. This case is one of the few examples where RPS6KA3 mutations are associated with a non-specific X-linked mental retardation.Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication, 10 September 2015; doi:10.1038/jhg.2015.106
