    What Has Happened in the Labour Market? Digital Platforms and Public Policies. This paper looks at the breakdown of the normative model of employment that underpinned the mid-twentieth-century welfare state. The focus of the chapter is the slow, but continuous, dismantling of labor protections that happened in the last decades which has played a crucial role in facilitating the rise of digital platforms. Thus, while on one hand this can be related to the limits that the traditional labor protections had, especially in including women, migrants, and other usually considered more “marginal” workers; on the other it is a product of the new global division of labor and of the way in which technologies have been used to outsource and manage remote working. These developments are being expanded by the increasing “platformization” of the economy that is preading across sectors digital management and new forms of task-based work directly controlled by algorithms. Despite the birth of new union forms, capable of intercepting the demands and defending the interests of gig workers, the paper concludes by highlighting how these achievements, despite their relevance, are not a definitive solution, but it is necessary to aim for a new set of universal workers’ rights

    I paradossi del lavoro di piattaforma. Dal lavoro digitale al salario prestazionale

    Il lavoro che la piattaforma digitale organizza, sollecita e comanda è in primo luogo un’attività che sfugge alle rappresentazioni tradizionali del mercato del lavoro. Una delle questioni ricorrenti che interroga l’ambito del cosiddetto lavoro di piattaforma riguarda lo statuto giuridico e più in generale la trama regolativa delle attività produttive che si realizzano a partire dalla presenza di una mediazione digitale tra datore di lavoro e lavoratore. Le figure lavorative emergenti nei contesti digitali (e i rider del food delivery in modo particolare) si pongono tendenzialmente e intrinsecamente a cavallo dei vincoli classici del lavoro dipendente e sempre di più sono costretti ad assumere, assieme ad alcuni precisi vincoli di subordinazione gestiti per lo più dall’algoritmo, compiti e mansioni caratterizzati, come nella attività d’impresa vera e propria, da una assunzione personale del rischio produttivo. Nell'articolo si rileva allora come il lavoro di piattaforma scriva (di fatto formalizzandola nella sua prassi) una variegata zona grigia di posizioni ibride (e per questo difficilmente tutelabili dagli strumenti tradizionali della rappresentanza) che sono immerse in una crescente ambiguità, soggettiva e oggettiva, tra autonomia ed eterodirezione della loro attività occupazionale

    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

    The Endocannabinoids-Microbiota Partnership in Gut-Brain Axis Homeostasis: Implications for Autism Spectrum Disorders

    The latest years have witnessed a growing interest towards the relationship between neuropsychiatric disease in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and severe alterations in gut microbiota composition. In parallel, an increasing literature has focused the attention towards the association between derangement of the endocannabinoids machinery and some mechanisms and symptoms identified in ASD pathophysiology, such as alteration of neural development, immune system dysfunction, defective social interaction and stereotypic behavior. In this narrative review, we put together the vast ground of endocannabinoids and their partnership with gut microbiota, pursuing the hypothesis that the crosstalk between these two complex homeostatic systems (bioactive lipid mediators, receptors, biosynthetic and hydrolytic enzymes and the entire bacterial gut ecosystem, signaling molecules, metabolites and short chain fatty acids) may disclose new ideas and functional connections for the development of synergic treatments combining “gut-therapy,” nutritional intervention and pharmacological approaches. The two separate domains of the literature have been examined looking for all the plausible (and so far known) overlapping points, describing the mutual changes induced by acting either on the endocannabinoid system or on gut bacteria population and their relevance for the understanding of ASD pathophysiology. Both human pathology and symptoms relief in ASD subjects, as well as multiple ASD-like animal models, have been taken into consideration in order to provide evidence of the relevance of the endocannabinoids-microbiota crosstalk in this major neurodevelopmental disorder
