Universities in the fight against mafias. Research, teaching and training
No full textThe commitment of Italian universities to education in the field of legality and to research on the subject of mafias is the main focus of this investigation edited by Stefano D’Alfonso and Gaetano Manfredi. For the first time, data is shown about the overall framework of teaching and research activities dedicated to this topic, with twentynine scholars from different academic disciplines and several universities who come together to reflect on the current situation and on the commitment of universities in the fight against mafias, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses of the system. The reflections illustrated here bring to light the dynamic nature of the local and cultural context where universities operate as well as the type of interaction that these institutions maintain with the national and local context. At the same time, it seems clear that great expectations are held at various levels in terms of what universities could do, especially with regards to the demand for knowledge about the best ways to fight mafias. This research reveals that Italian universities possess a considerable capital of knowledge which represents a ‘hidden treasure’ to be valued and used with the aim of promoting widespread awareness of their role in the antimafia field.
This book is the result of cooperation between many university professors and researchers, the Parliamentary antimafia Committee, the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) and former minister of University and Research Gaetano Manfredi, under the supervision and coordination of the interdisciplinary research laboratory on mafias and corruption (Lirmac) of the Department of Social Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II. This network of professionals and institutions enabled the construction of a significant database where teaching and research activities carried out by scholars from different universities can be identified, across about one hundred academic disciplines spanning from Sociology to Law, from History to Economics
L'università nella lotta alle mafie. La ricerca e la formazione
No full textL’impegno delle università italiane nella formazione alla legalità e nella ricerca sulle mafie è al centro di questa indagine curata da Stefano D’Alfonso e Gaetano Manfredi. Per la prima volta vengono messi a disposizione dati che permettono di conoscere il quadro complessivo della didattica e della ricerca dedicate a questo tema, in cui ventinove studiosi di diverse aree scientifiche e differenti atenei
ragionano sullo stato dell’arte dell’impegno dell’università nella lotta alle mafie, mettendo in luce alcuni punti di forza e debolezza.
Le riflessioni avanzate fanno emergere la dinamicità del contesto territoriale e culturale su cui insistono gli atenei nonché modalità di interazione che intrattengono con la sfera locale e nazionale. Allo stesso modo, appaiono importanti le aspettative che ai vari livelli il contesto matura nei confronti dell’università: soprattutto in termini di domanda di conoscenza circa gli strumenti da adottare nel contrasto alle mafie. La ricerca rivela la presenza di un notevole capitale di conoscenze negli atenei italiani, un “tesoro nascosto” da valorizzare per trovare una più consapevole posizione nel campo dell’azione antimafia.
Il lavoro — che nasce dal confronto tra diversi docenti e ricercatori universitari, la Commissione parlamentare antimafia, la Conferenza dei rettori delle università italiane (CRUI) e lo stesso Gaetano Manfredi, già Ministro dell’Università e della Ricerca, con il coordinamento del Laboratorio interdisciplinare di ricerca su mafie e corruzione del Dipartimento di Scienze sociali dell’Università Federico II, ha portato alla costruzione di un prezioso database, che consente di individuare le attività formative e la produzione scientifica (questa è scaricabile nel sito cruit.it) degli studiosi dei singoli atenei, in circa cento settori disciplinari diversi, dalla sociologia al diritto, dalla storia all’economia

Control químico de Gomphrena perennis “siempre viva”
No full textGomphrena perennis es una especie perenne tolerante al herbicida glifosato (Cortés y Venier, 2012; Nisenshon et al., 2007a). Se propaga por semillas (Acosta et al., 2012) y en forma vegetativa a partir del xilopodio, que es una porción leñosa semienterrada de la raíz con yemas capaces de rebrotar (Nisenshon et al., 2007b; Figura 1). En la provincia de Córdoba, las poblaciones de esta especie se han incrementado en algunos lotes agrícolas comportándose como maleza en cultivos estivales. La información sobre la eficacia de herbicidas para su control es escasa (Cortés y Venier, 2012) y los tratamientos evaluados presentaron
resultados deficientes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar alternativas de control químico para G. perennis.EEA ManfrediFil: Ustarroz, Diego. Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA). Estación Experimental Agropecuaria Manfredi; Argentin
The rationale of an investigation into the role of Italian universities on the subject of organised crime. Organisation of the work
No full textIntroduction to the volume. This research is the fulfilment of one of the objectives set out in a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) and the "Parliamentary committee of inquiry into mafia-related and other criminal organisations, including foreign ones ", established in the 17th legislature by Law no. 87 of 19 July 2013. This work also includes a reflection, elaborated by some of the scholars working on topics relevant to us, that not only highlights the importance of the role played by the Italian Academia so far, but also puts forward new action plans

A multi-purpose user-friendly voice analysis tool: Application to lipofilling treatment
No full textA multi-purpose software tool (BioVoice) is presented, capable of performing automatic analysis of a large range of voice signal, no manual setting being required to the user. This makes the tool feasible for application by non-expert users in several fields, ranging from high-pitched new-born cries, to adult healthy singing vocalizations and to irregular, pathological voice signals. Main voice characteristics (fundamental frequency and formants) are evaluated and tracked by means of robust analysis techniques that can handle the above mentioned wide range of signals, as internal settings for optimal frame length, frequency range of analysis and plots are automatically adjusted. Specific parameters are evaluated according to the kind of signal under study, and displayed with suitable plots and tables. In this paper, the method is applied to patient affected by laryngeal hemiplegia that underwent lipofilling treatment to recover phonatory capabilities
[2.2]-para-cyclophane-4-carbaldehyde as building-block for chiral ligands - Part II: Epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by the Mn(III)-complex of an atropoisomerically pure (alpha,beta,alpha,beta)-tetraarylporphyrin
No full textThe synthesis of the Mn(III)-complex of the new enantiopure, atropoisomerically pure chiral porphyrin (alpha,beta,alpha,beta)-1 is described. The compound was used as the catalyst in the epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins using aqueous NaOCl, 30%-H2O2 or PhIO as oxygen donors. Up to 780 overall turnovers were obtained in the presence of NaOCl and PhIO, whereas with 30%-H2O2 only catalase activity was observed. Contrary to expectations based on previous results [S. Banfi, A. Manfredi, F. Montanari, G. Pozzi, S. Quici, J. Mel. Catal., 113 (1996) 77], only racemic epoxides were obtained
