Vedere l'aperto. Il cinema di Andrea Segre
No full textAll’interno del capitolo dal titolo Vedere l’aperto: Il cinema di Andrea Segre, il testo affronta l’analisi dei film di finzione realizzati da Andrea Segre. Vengono ripercorsi temi cari al cinema di Segre, come il confronto con l’alterità e l’incontro dei personaggi provenienti da luoghi e culture differenti, l’attenzione per il paesaggio, l’osservazione di realtà circoscritte declinata attraverso uno sguardo più ampio, non localizzato ( si veda a tale proposito Io sono Li e La prima neve). Per l’ultimo lungometraggio L’ordine delle cose, la scrittura si concentra sullo studio del personaggio principale, Corrado, alto funzionario dello Stato, chiamato dal Ministero degli Interni ad arrestare il flusso migratorio dalla Libia all’Europa, al fine di mettere in luce le modalità narrative ed espressive adottate dal regista dirette a spostare il punto di vista su noi occidentali, rispetto alle opere precedenti

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s)Two fundamental invariants attached to a projective variety are its classical algebraic degree and its Euclidean Distance degree (ED degree). In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of these two degrees of some Segre products and their dual varieties. We analyze the asymptotics of degrees of (hypercubical) hyperdeterminants, the dual hypersurfaces to Segre varieties. We offer an alternative viewpoint on the stabilization of the ED degree of some Segre varieties. Although this phenomenon was incidentally known from Friedland-Ottaviani's formula expressing the number of singular vector tuples of a general tensor, our approach provides a geometric explanation. Finally, we establish the stabilization of the degree of the dual variety of a Segre product X×Qn, where X is a projective variety and Qn⊂Pn+1 is a smooth quadric hypersurface.Peer reviewe

L’«appassionata ricerca del nuovo»: Mario Segre lettore del «Columbus» di Ubertino Carrara (1715)
No full textThis chapter aims to illustrate the method adopted by Mario Segre for the analysis of the Latin epic poem "Columbus" (1715), written by Ubertino Carrara, an author of the Accademia dell’Arcadia. Columbus is the subject of Segre’s first scientific monograph, published in 1925. In this volume, Segre applies a critical reading method based on a geographical perspective - justified by his pupillage with Paolo Revelli and the dialogue with the Geographical
Institute of Genova - and focuses on identifying the historical and literary sources Carrara used and reworked. Segre’s critical work looks at the poem as a historical and geographical testimony, at the beginning of the Eighteenth Century, of the knowledge about the New World territories and the voyages of Cristoforo Colombo
L'estimo e l'economia
No full textIn questo primo capitolo, senza pretesa di esaustività, si intendono introdurre alcune teorie fondamentali alla base della valutazione delle risorse economiche, quali immobili o intangibili, beni privati e pubblici piani e progetti di trasformazione, strategie di sviluppo urbano e sostenibilità, attualmente oggetto di interesse dell'estimo. Considerando che gli asset intangibili, quali il benessere e la cultura, sono diventati sempre più cruciali per lo sviluppo e la crescita economica dei diversi Paesi, oltre che risorse sempre più scarse, il campo di interesse dell'estimo si è ampliato, inglobando anche tali beni. Le relative metodologie di valutazione sono piuttosto articolate e, in questa sede, si intende fornire solo una sintetica presentazione dei principali approcci mutuati dalle diverse discipline cui si fa cenno, fra queste la matematica finanziaria e l'econometria (illustrate in appendice), l'equilibrio spaziale, le scienze economiche e sociali che servono per capire e governare la complessità delle scelte nel campo dello sviluppo urbano sostenibile e Smart City. La questione ambientale rappresenta un imperativo non trascurabile a livello planetario. In economia, essa assume specifiche connotazioni di carattere morale ed etico, con riferimento al concetto di green economy. L'economia verde riconosce e investe nel capitale naturale, considerando la biodiversità come il tessuto vivente proprio di questo pianeta, che contribuisce al benessere umano e fornisce servizi gratuitamente, risorse preziose per il benessere delle persone. Insito nella green economy è anche il concetto di sviluppo sostenibile che da alcuni decenni sta impegnando studiosi di diverse discipline, ed in particolare gli studiosi di valutazione economica per la necessità di definire appropriate metriche di riferimento alle diverse scale (spaziali), dai materiali, all'edificio, alla città, fino alla scala territoriale e global
National Identities and International Recognition
No full textThe intensification of production relocation has changed the geography
of fashion and the relations between “made in” and national creativity.
The possibility of creating fashion, i.e. of being recognized as
“author countries,” is part of a process in which hierarchies and roles
are being constantly renegotiated according to the contexts and players
concerned

Equivariant Segre and Verlinde invariants for Quot schemes
No full textThe problem of studying the two seemingly unrelated sets of invariants
forming the Segre and the Verlinde series has gone through multiple different
adaptations including a version for the virtual geometries of Quot schemes on
surfaces and Calabi-Yau fourfolds. Our work is the first one to address the
equivariant setting for both and by examining
higher degree contributions which have no compact analogue. (1) For
, we work mostly with virtual geometries of Quot schemes. After
connecting the equivariant series in degree zero to the existing results of the
first author for compact surfaces, we extend the Segre-Verlinde correspondence
to all degrees and to the reduced virtual classes. Apart from it, we conjecture
an equivariant symmetry between two different Segre series building again on
previous work. (2) For , we give further motivation for the
definition of the Verlinde series. Based on empirical data and additional
structural results, we conjecture the equivariant Segre-Verlinde correspondence
and the Segre-Segre symmetry analogous to the one for
Segre Product, H-Polynomials, and Castelnuovo-Mumford Regularity
No full textInternational audienceThe purpose of this paper is to extend the bilinearity of the Segre product that has been proved recently by Ilse Fischer and Martina Kubitzke under some restricted hypotheses. As a consequence, we get some formulas involving Eulerian polynomials and a nice formula that will be used by the first author to solve the Simon Newcomb problem. We apply these results to compute the postulation number of a series and extend partially the results about Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the Segre product of polynomial rings of David A. Cox and Evgeny Materov
Postpartum depression screening in mothers and fathers at well-child visits: a feasibility study within the NASCITA cohort
No full textObjective: To assess the feasibility of the family paediatrician's (FP) role in identifying the signs of postpartum depression in parents in time to guarantee child well-being. Design, setting and participants: Data for this observational prospective study were collected within the NASCITA (NAscere e creSCere in ITAlia) cohort. During the first visit, paediatricians collected sociodemographic data regarding the parents and information about their health status, the pregnancy and the delivery. Whooley questions were administered during the first and second visits (scheduled 60-90 days after childbirth). Moreover, on the third visit (5-7 months after childbirth) the FP was asked to answer 'yes' or 'no' to a question on the parental postpartum depression, based on his knowledge and on the acquired information. Results: In 2203 couples who completed the assessment, 529 mothers (19.9%), 141 fathers (6.3%) and 110 (5%) couples reported any depressive symptomatology. Of these, 141 mothers (5.3% of the total sample) and 18 fathers (0.8% of the total sample) were classified as 'likely depressed'. An association was found between maternal postnatal depressive symptoms and having a diagnosed psychiatric disorder during pregnancy (OR 9.49, 95% CI: 3.20 to 28.17), not exclusively breastfeeding at hospital discharge (OR 1.76, 95% CI: 1.19 to 2.61) and the presence of child sleeping disorders at 3 (OR 2.46, 95% CI: 1.41 to 4.28) and 6 months (OR 2.18, 95% CI: 1.37 to 3.47). Another significant predictor of postpartum depression was being primiparous (OR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.31 to 3.02). Concerning the fathers, a significant association was reported only between likely depressed fathers and child sleeping disorders at 3 months (OR 7.64, 95% CI: 2.92 to 19.97). Moreover, having a likely depressed partner was strongly associated with depressive symptoms in fathers (OR 85.53, 95% CI 26.83 to 272.69). Conclusions: The findings of this study support the feasibility of an active screening programme for parental postnatal depression during well-child visits as an integral part of postpartum care.
