Un modello di sviluppo locale. Il Parco Nazionale del Gargano: valutazione di impatto socio-economico
No full textLa realizzazione di aree naturali protette e di parchi rappresenta una occasione di sperimentazione e di diffusione di forme di sviluppo locale sostenibile e di corretta gestione del territorio. Con riferimento all’Italia Meridionale la recente creazione di parchi nazionali si rivela una occasione di sviluppo sostenibile basato non piu' sui macro-investimenti ma su progettazioni a misura di uomo. Un modello di sviluppo in cui non vi e' solo la cultura della difesa e della valorizzazione del territorio e dell’ambiente, ma anche quella dello sviluppo realizzato per un diffuso processo di crescita, di promozione, di accompagnamento, di qualificazione di energie locali
Inequality and marginalisation: social innovation, social entrepreneurship and business model innovation: The common thread of the DRUID Summer Conference 2015
No full textNowadays societies face many societal challenges, among which increasing inequality and marginalisation. This paper uses this key to read the discussion undertaken during the DRUID Conference 2015 ‘Relevance of Innovation’, held at LUISS Business School (Rome, IT). We focus on the speeches, sessions, and debates that were hosted at the conference. We expand them and build on them to advance scholarly discussion on how social innovation, social entrepreneurship and business model innovation can be used to face inequality and marginalisation. The main idea we place at the centre of the discussion is empowerment of marginalised individuals by social innovation initiatives and social entrepreneurial ventures. Business model innovation is seen as instrumental to this, being a crucial tool to foster hybrid organisations and institutions able to merge the social and economic dimensions.Nowadays societies face many societal challenges, among which increasing inequality and marginalisation.

Il matching statistico: un caso di integrazione tra redditi e consumi
No full textL’integrazione di dati provenienti da archivi diversi è una esigenza avvertita sia nella fase di produzione, organizzazione e controllo dei dati statistici, che nella fase di analisi. In particolare, le tecniche di abbinamento di informazioni individuali, riferite agli elementi di una stessa popolazione, contenute in due o più archivi, consentono di sfruttare in modo più penetrante informazioni correntemente raccolte in indagini statistiche o presenti in archivi amministrativi, anche al fine di ottenere letture integrate dei fenomeni e della loro evoluzione. Le ragioni che motivano la costruzione di un database integrato a partire dalle due indagini sui bilanci familiari sono numerose. In particolare ricordiamo lo studio dei comportamenti di consumo in relazione a gruppi specifici di beni, l’analisi delle decisioni di risparmio delle famiglie, l’analisi delle disuguaglianze economiche e sociali, ed anche lo studio dell’impatto di politiche pubbliche attraverso simulazioni. La coesistenza di obiettivi molteplici e differenziati origina la necessità di ottenere un file integrato molto generale e versatile, che fornisca di volta in volta informazioni dettagliate sui diversi capitoli di spesa, sui tassi di risparmio, sulla distribuzione dei redditi, sulle condizioni occupazionali dei componenti del nucleo familiare, a così via. La disponibilità di dati individuali di alta qualità su reddito e consumo è quanto mai necessaria. La comprensione del fenomeno relativo ai consumi delle famiglie è ovviamente importante ed è opinione diffusa che lo studio sistematico del comportamento di consumo e risparmio delle famiglie non possa prescindere dall’analisi di dati individuali
CMDD: A novel multimodal two-stream CNN deepfakes detector
Full text linkResearchers commonly model deepfake detection as a binary classification problem, using an unimodal network for each type of manipulated modality (such as auditory and visual) and a final ensemble of their predictions. In this paper, we focus our attention on the simultaneous detection of relationships between audio and visual cues, leading to the extraction of more comprehensive information to expose deepfakes. We propose the Convolutional Multimodal deepfake detection model (CMDD), a novel multimodal model that relies on the power of two Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) to concurrently extract and process spatial and temporal features. We compare it with two baseline models: DeepFakeCVT, which uses two CNNs and a final Vision Transformer, and DeepMerge, which employs a score fusion of each unimodal CNN model. The multimodal FakeAVCeleb dataset was used to train and test our model, resulting in a model accuracy of 98.9% that places our model in the top 3 ranking of models evaluated on FakeAVCeleb
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Made in Carcere: Integral Human Development in Extreme Conditions
No full textThis paper analyzes the case of Made in Carcere, an innovative social enterprise providing jobs to one of the most marginalized groups in society: convicted women. Relying on an extensive database that covers 8 years of activity, we propose a micro-level analysis of the processes adopted by Made in Carcere to foster the integral human development of convicted women, its target stakeholders. We show that this complex effort has successfully unfolded through two macro-processes: creating a safe space for experimentation and allowing convicted women to bridge their experience to the outside reality. Our work provides evidence of an organization that successfully confronts the restrictive and dehumanizing setting of prisons by means of market mechanisms that can foster convicted women’s integral human development.This paper analyzes the case of Made in Carcere, an innovative social enterprise providing jobs to one of the most marginalized groups in society: convicted women.
