Veicoli a guida autonoma. Opportunità, sfide e prospettive future di una tecnologia per una mobilità sicura, efficiente e sostenibile
No full textIl volume nasce dal progetto di ricerca finanziato dall'Università di Ferrara, dedicato a esplorare il futuro della mobilità automatizzata e il ruolo dell’intelligenza artificiale (IA). La guida autonoma, una delle applicazioni più avanzate dell’IA, solleva questioni tecniche, sociali, etiche e politiche. Il volume adotta un approccio interdisciplinare che combina tecnologia, filosofia, scienze sociali e politiche pubbliche, per offrire soluzioni innovative alle sfide poste dalla mobilità autonoma. Attraverso contributi multidisciplinari, il volume fornisce una visione integrata delle opportunità e dei limiti dell’IA, con implicazioni per accademici, professionisti e decisori politici

L'arte del disegno a Palazzo Spada. L'astrolabium catoptrico gnomonicum di Emmanuel Maignan
No full textArte, scienza e architettura trovano unione attraverso il disegno nella realizzazione dell'Astrolabium Catoptrico-Gnomonicum progettato da Padre Emmanuel Maignan, dell'ordine dei Minimi, voluto da Bernardino Spada nel suo Palazzo di Roma e realizzato da Giovan Battista Magni nel 1644. Oggi l'arte del disegno, attraverso le sue diverse declinazioni quali il rilievo integrato dello stato di fatto, l'analisi compositiva dell'immagine, lo studio degli strumenti di rilievo e di quelli prospettici utilizzati per la costruzione dei tracciati, permette di conoscere il processo progettuale e di realizzazione dell'immagine riportata sulla volta della galleria del piano nobile. Si svela così la genesi geometrica in un confronto diretto con quanto riportato dallo stesso Padre Maignan nel trattato "Perspectiva Horaria sive de Horographia gnomonica tum theoretica, tum practica libri quatuor", edito nel 1648 a Roma. I diversi approfondimenti presenti nel testo permettono di definire l'Astrolabium come un'opera rappresentativa della cultura del progetto secentesca e in particolare della committenza Spada, in cui osservazione, percezione, rappresentazione e visione guidano le modalità di trasformazione funzionale degli ambienti del Palazzo. Il testo in oggetto è l'esito di parte di una ricerca scientifica sullo studio degli artifici presenti a Palazzo Spada, avviata nel Dipartimento di Architettura dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tre da Laura Farroni.

Gender discrimination and intra-household inequality in rural Italy, 1920s-1930s
No full textThere is mounting evidence of extreme gender-discriminatory practices in the European past, resulting in excess female mortality («missing girls»). These phenomena were most persistent in Southern Europe, though they seemingly disappeared by the turn of the twentieth century. This paper documents the occurrence of gender discrimination in the allocation of resources within households in Italy, long after previously thought. It uses a collection of household budgets detailing the incomes, expenditures, and nutrition of Italian households active in agriculture during the late 1920s and 1930s. An empirical test for gender bias in the allocation of household expenditures delivers evidence of pro-boy bias among older children (around 7 to 14 years old). This result suggests that excess material deprivation of girls and women might have lingered until the eve of Italy’s economic miracle, and contributes to the debate on the long-run evolution of the wellbeing of Italians, by exploring within-household inequalitie
Women’s labor force participation in Italy, 1861-2016
No full textThe economic history of women in Italy is still very much in its infancy. Not only there are few quantitative historical interpretations that explicitly include women, but there is also a lack of systematic evidence on many key variables describing women's evolving economic role, wellbeing, and inequality relative to men throughout the country's history. This paper takes the first step toward filling this gap: it builds a new time series of female labor force participation for post-Unification Italy, that adjusts census-based estimates using both aggregate and micro-data from alternative sources, including historical household budget surveys. Women's work before the Second World War was more pervasive than previously thought, and female labor supply has followed a decidedly asymmetric U-shape pattern throughout Italy's history. These findings prompt new questions on the effects of economic growth on women's wellbeing in Italy
Breadwinner, bread maker: the gender division of labour in 1930s rural Italy
No full textThis paper uses microdata assembled from a collection of family monographs to examine female work among rural households in interwar Italy. It finds that female employment in agriculture was very high (approximately 80 percent),which contradicts available estimates from population censuses (50 percent or less).Yet despite the pervasiveness of female work, time use remained extremely segregated by gender—women devoted less than half as many hours as men to paid work, instead specializing in producing services for the family. These results substantiate the calls for caution in interpreting standard labour market indicators, such as labour force participation, in the preindustrial past
One Hundred Sixty Years of Gender Inequality in Italy. A Research Agenda
No full textThe goal of this paper is to take stock of
where we stand in the reconstruction of the
long-run dynamics of gender inequality in Italy,
focusing on the post-unification period (from
1861 to the present, namely the last 160 years).
This is accomplished in two ways: first, by
proposing a list of indicators that can be thought
of as the essential building blocks for such a
reconstruction, and that can be assembled based
on historical data. The emphasis is placed on
quantification and comparability (both over
time and across countries, or within areas of
the country). Second, the paper assesses the
available evidence within the economic history
literature, and argues that the effort of building
a quantitative economic history of Italian women
is just at the beginning
Relazione fra identità e malattia cronica: Una rassegna sistematica
No full textChronic conditions constitute an important factor of disability. In the present review, we have questioned about the impact that the development of these diseases can have on identity. In the literature there were several attentional focus: on general identity or on its specific dimensions. From the first attentional focus three types of impact were highlighted; they differ in their ability to reconstruct or not a continuity in patients' lives. Studies that have focused on specific dimensions of identity have shown that chronic disease, especially when severe, is a threat to self-esteem, self-efficacy, and continuity, threatening the well-being of patients. Finally, the chronic disease, especially when visible, appears to be frequently associated with stigma and delegitimization
Research and studies on the development of soft-skills.New educational changes
No full textIn the last two years, pupils and school and teaching staff have experienced situations of discomfort, malaise, stress, distancing, learning deficits and relationship problems. To contrast this acute phenomena caused by the pandemic, schools are now invested with new responsibilities and are called to implement courses, continuous and professional training, as well as training offers, aimed at encouraging the creation and strengthening of soft-skills, decreed by Regulation n. 2372/22 for the citizens of tomorrow.
The article proposed using the scientific literature and research intends to examine the impact and psycho-emotional risks generated by the pandemic on pupils, highlighting the urgency of implementing educational paths that favour development, growth and monitoring of soft skill
