From Fixed to Flexible? Wage Coordination and the Collective Bargaining System in Italy
Full text linkThis article analyses the rules on wage coordination and their effectiveness in the Italian two-tier bargaining system. It seeks to cast light on bargaining coordination by starting from the analysis of collective agreements, rather than focusing exclusively on normative and institutional aspects of wage bargaining. Accordingly, the study examines a dataset of 498 company-level collective agreements concluded between 2012–2015 in three sectors – metalworking, food, banking and finance – to analyse wage developments in company-level bargaining. The study considers the extent to which local wage negotiations are consistent with the rules on wage bargaining coordination laid down in economy-wide agreements and national collective labour agreements. Wage coordination rules are generally respected, though a significant number of company-level agreements still provide fixed-rate pay rises in breach of the rule that wage increases at company level should be linked to productivity and other factors relating to the workers’ and/or the firm’s economic performance. Although the violation of wage bargaining rules between national agreements and company-level collective agreements is in line with the favourability principle, it is argued that local negotiations on fixed-rate pay rises could be regarded as a form of uncoordinated decentralization, diminishing the effectiveness of horizontal coordination policies and the normative role of the social partners

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
Il diritto di whistleblowing come impegno sociale: tra generazioni di diritti e tecniche di tutela
No full textIl presente contributo intende offrire una lettura del diritto di whistleblowing in chiave di capability, ovvero come diritto capacitante del senso civico della persona, della sua capacità trasformativa del mercato e dell’ambiente sociale in cui vive, attraverso l’esercizio critico della libertà di espressione, sancita dall’art. 10 della Convenzione Europea dei diritti dell’uomo, dall’art. 11 della CDFUE e dall’art. 21 Cost. Dopo avere inquadrato l’istituto nella cornice teorica della libertà come impegno sociale, il contributo si soffermerà su alcune questioni interpretative della Dir. 2019/1937/UE, per come recepita nel d.lgs. 10 marzo 2023, n. 24. Lontana dall’essere un mero esercizio filosofico, invero, la razionalizzazione del diritto di whistleblowing in un’ottica di capability si collega all’obiettivo di dare risposta ad alcuni profili problematici di una figura normativa complessa, destinati ad emergere nel prosieguo dello scritto, sviluppando al contempo una più ampia riflessione sulla evoluzione delle tecniche di tutela giuslavoristiche difronte alla crisi di effettività delle categorie e delle istituzioni fondative della materia

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Alle origini del whistleblowing: la denuncia dell’illecito da parte di privati nell’Atene tra il VI e il IV sec. a.C.
No full textIl contributo tratta dei casi nei quali, nelle leggi di Atene, era data facoltà a privati cittadini di denunciare chiunque tenesse un comportamento illegale o scorretto - sorta di antenato del whistleblower - e si sofferma in particolare sulle questioni dell'anonimato e della premialità, mettendo in evidenza continuità e discontinuità rispetto al presente enuncia da parte dell’accusatore volontario a tutela dell’interesse pubblico
