Political communication: Meloni and Boldrini under the magnifying glass of italian press
No full textopenLa tesi proposta si pone come obiettivo quello di approfondire come la stampa italiana metta in atto la comunicazione politica, come descrive e affronta la stesura dei titoli sulla leadership femminile. L’elaborato si concentra sull’attuale Presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni e sull’ex Presidente della Camera Laura Boldrini: due donne con ideologie politiche opposte che hanno avuto e rivestono un ruolo fondamentale all’interno della politica italiana. Partendo dalle origini della comunicazione politica nel primo capitolo viene ripercorso il suo sviluppo storico con particolare riferimento alla sua evoluzione nelle campagne elettorali e annessa trasformazione e adattamento del sistema divulgativo della stampa al digitale. Nel secondo capitolo si vuole mettere in risalto la leadership politica femminile in Italia con tutte le caratteristiche che la contraddistinguono, effettuando una riflessione sul gender gap dopo aver analizzato dati certi, e dedicando una parte per descrivere tre delle donne che hanno fatto la storia della politica italiana. Infine, nel terzo capitolo vengono descritte le donne nella politica italiana del presente; successivamente viene trattato l'argomento degli stereotipi di genere, spesso, diffusi nei giornali e viene analizzata la comunicazione politica messa in atto da alcune tra le maggiori testate giornalistiche italiane, di ideologia politica di destra e di sinistra, ponendo l’attenzione su come queste si approcciano e come l’orientamento politico e il sesso influiscano sulle modalità di comunicazione
Digital intra-party democracy: an exploratory analysis of podemos and the labour party
No full textThe role of technology is growing in intra-party democracy (IPD) processes. Thisarticle presents a proposal for analysing digital IPD, by applying empirical democratic theory dimensions. To test our methodology, we analyse two different types of parties, a new digital one, Pos, and a traditional one undergoing reform, the Labour Party. Our analysis shows, first, that the application of technology is not neutral, with a differential impact depending on the specific democratic dimension considered and, secondly, that - due to convergent developments - new and established parties are closer in their digital IPD than expected. These results point out the relevance, for the ongoing debate on the quality of IPD, of considering the impact of digital on different democratic dimensions and its evolution over time
Evergreen e grandes premières dell’Esecutivo Meloni: dal patto elettorale all’immediata coalizione di Governo
No full textAbstract [IT]: ABSTRACT (EN): Il saggio offre alcuni spunti di riflessione sulla formazione del Governo Meloni in apertura della XIX legislatura della Repubblica italiana. Fornendo una prospettiva giuridico-costituzionale sulla prassi istituzionale, l'articolo si sofferma dapprima sugli sviluppi della campagna elettorale e sull'esito delle elezioni politiche del 25 settembre 2022 per poi passare a una breve rassegna dei tratti che caratterizzano la formazione del Gabinetto Meloni, il quale testimonia un ritorno alla fisiologia del sistema parlamentare. Alcune considerazioni sono dedicate alla discussione delle regole alla base della fase di transizione da un Governo all'altro. Infine, qualche nota sui recenti accadimenti e trasformazioni del contesto politico e partitico italiano.
Abstract [EN]: The paper offers some insights on the formation of the first Meloni Cabinet at the opening of the 19th legislature of the Italian Republic. Providing a legal-constitutional perspective on institutional practice, the paper will first focus on the developments of the electoral campaign and the outcome of the general election on September 25, 2022. Then, it moves on to a brief review of the features characterizing the formation of the Meloni Cabinet, which witnesses a return to the physiology of parliamentary system. Some considerations are devoted to discussing the rules underpinning the transition phase from one Government to another. Finally, a few notes on recent events and transformations in the Italian political and party context
The new role of the accounting and control function: critical issues and possible solutions
No full textThe paper aims to help better understand the nature and possible consequences of the evolution of Accounting and Control Function. It is argued that the more apparent symptom of such an evolution is the emergence of a mismatch between the Accounting and Control Function performed by individuals and groups within the organizations to support management actions and those informational and control activities, which are directly supervised and influenced by the Accounting and Control Department .
The extent of this mismatch depends on the causal factors that are frequently cited in the literature: the degree of change of the institutional context, the complexity of the business environment and the diffusion of modern ICTs
Expected Shortfall of the Makespan in Interval-Valued Activity Networks
No full textThis paper deals with the analysis of the Expected Shortfall of the makespan in activity
networks when uncertain activity durations are modeled by intervals. More precisely, for
each activity only the interval for its integer valued duration is known to the decision
maker. In this scenario, we address the evaluation of the Expected Shortfall associated to
a feasible schedule discussing its role and importance in decision support systems for
planning and scheduling applications. We propose heuristics to determine a fast
estimation of the Expected Shortfall. The computational results show that it can be used
as optimization criterion for a wide class of planning and scheduling problems while
modeling the risk-averse behavior of a decision maker
Digital innovation in electoral campaigns: the case of microcredit in Podemos
No full textCrowdfunding and micro-donations for funding political campaigns have been extensively studied, especially in the US. However, digital participatory financing in Europe, with a different regulatory context and relevant public funding, has been investigated less. This article analyses the effects of an innovative and digital-native electoral campaign financing tool: the microcredit. Microcredits consist of small “civil loans” that a political party requests from sympathizers to finance the party's electoral campaign. Based on the case study of the Spanish party Podemos–the first one to implement it–for the period of 2015–2021, we use official data and party documents to explore the consequences of microcredit. We argue, first, that microcredits (and party financing) should be considered another way to differentiate challenger parties from traditional ones. Second, there is a link between the number and amount of microcredits and the political context, not limited to good electoral expectations but also to the polarized political context. Third, microcredits change the structure of campaign funding. Finally, we point out a regulation problem that may deter other parties from adopting this mechanism and present different legal problems (monitoring, data protection, or potential corruption), showing the regulatory issues for adapting to the digitalization of politics.</p
Strategie sintetiche per la preparazione su fase solida di librerie di beta-lattami peptidomimetici
No full textAbbiamo cercato di mettere a punto una strategia sintetica che permettesse di
sintetizzare β-lattami peptidomimetici su di un supporto solido per poi preparare librerie di prodotti
potenzialmente molto interessanti sia come generici inibitori di proteasi che come potenziali
antibiotici (inibitori di una transpeptidasi batterica).
Tra gli innumerevoli metodi di sintesi di β-lattami abbiamo selezionato il metodo di Miller che si
basa su una ciclizzazione di un β-idrossi-idrossammato in quanto ci sembrava il più adatto per una
rapida applicazione su un supporto solido del tipo di quelli utilizzati per la sintesi peptidica
Use of interleukin-2 in the management of haematological malignancies: focus on minimal residual disease. Mandelli F, Capria S, Vignetti M, Meloni G.
No full textInterleukin (IL)-2 is a glycoprotein lymphokine which induces proliferation of all subclasses of T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells and lymphokine activated killer cells, differentiation of cytotoxic cells and secretion of other cytokines, especially interferon-gamma. A fundamental property of IL-2 activated effector cells is to selectively lyse freshly isolated tumour cells. Work carried out on animal tumour models and application in human therapeutics has suggested the potential value of an immunotherapeutic approach in haematological malignancies, especially in the setting of minimal residual disease. Extensive phase I/II trials have been conducted in all haematological diseases, but the most interesting results have been obtained in acute myeloid leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, where the possibility of achieving partial and complete responses in patients with advanced disease has been reported. The feasibility and immunomodulatory effects of IL-2 treatment in patients with minimal residual disease after high-dose chemotherapy have also been explored. However, the heterogeneity of cases treated and administration schedules used does not allow definitive conclusions to be drawn about the true impact of IL-2 treatment on the prognosis of these patients. The clearly encouraging results reported in the literature deserve further investigation from a biological and clinical point of view; until the role of IL-2 in haematological malignancies has been identified, it should be used only in the investigative setting of clinical trials
