Comorbidities and crash involvement among younger and older drivers.
No full textPrevious studies identified comorbidities as predictors of older driver performance and driving pattern, while the direct impact of comorbidities on road crash risk in elderly drivers is still unknown. The present study is a cross-sectional aimed at investigating the association between levels of comorbidity and crash involvement in adult and elderly drivers. 327 drivers were stratified according to age range in two groups: elderly drivers (age ≥70 years old, referred as older) and adult drivers (age <70 years old, referred as younger). Driving information was obtained through a driving questionnaire. Distance traveled was categorized into low, medium and high on the basis of kilometers driven in a year. CIRS-illness severity (IS) and CIRS-comorbidity indices (CI) in all populations were calculated. Older drivers had a significantly higher crash involvements rate (p = .045) compared with the younger group based on the number of licensed drivers. Dividing comorbidity indices into tertiles among all licensed subjects, the number of current drivers significantly decreased (p<.0001) with increasing level of comorbidity. The number of current drivers among older subjects significantly decreased with increasing comorbidity level (p = .026) while no difference among younger group was found (p = .462). Among younger drivers with increasing comorbidity level, the number of road accidents significantly increased (p = .048) and the logistic regression analysis showed that comorbidity level significantly associated with crash involvement independent of gender and driving exposure. Older subjects with high level of comorbidity are able to self-regulate driving while comorbidity burden represents a significant risk factor for crash involvements among younger drivers
Corrado Cagli. Transatlantic bridges, 1938-1947
No full textIn the 1930s the young Italian artist, Corrado Cagli was a rising star of the Scuola Romana, supported by the Fascist regime despite being both Jewish and a homosexual. Following the Racial Laws, he fled first to Paris, and then to the USA, where he remained until 1947. Raffaele Bedarida’s new book, Corrado Cagli – La pittura, l’esilio, l’America (1938-1947) Donzelli Editore, 2018 (soon to be translated into English by CPL Editions), focuses on Cagli’s American exile.
While examining Cagli in the context of the artistic and intellectual migration from Europe to the US, Bedarida provides valuable new insight into the specific plight of this Italian Jewish artist, once championed by Fascism and into the complexities of the use of art for cultural diplomacy.
The author combines biography, cultural history, and critical analysis in exploring a decisive period in the life and work of a painter whose complex personality and non-signature style, defy classifications. The book also provides thought-provoking and nuanced arguments on the ideologically based ostracism that Cagli encountered upon returning to Italy in the immediate aftermath of the war. Because of his past as a former regime-endorsed artist, his recent American success, his participation in the liberation of Europe from Nazi-Fascism with the American army, and Jewish exile, Cagli simply did not fit into any of the faction of Italy’s post-war heated cultural disputes.
Based on extensive original research and written with brio, Bedarida’s book is an essential contribution to a growing field of studies that examine how, by welcoming artist and intellectuals in flight from Nazi-Fascism, the United States had been given what Will Norman has called “custodianship for a civilization.
Il contributo dell’opera di Livio agli studi demografici sulle colonie dell’Italia settentrionale tra III e II secolo a.C.
No full textIl contributo illustra in forma sintetica l’importanza dell’opera di Livio per gli studi demografici sulle colonie dedotte da Roma in Italia settentrionale tra il 218 a.C. (Placentia e Cremona) e il 177 a.C. (Luna). Le fonti liviane qui raccolte offrono infatti molti dati utili, altrimenti non pervenuti, sul numero di coloni coinvolti nella fondazione dei nuovi centri urbani e si prestano ad una serie di approfondimenti di notevole interesse per lo studio di questo fenomeno. In particolare esse contribuiscono a formulare una stima preliminare sul tasso di urbanizzazione dei coloni, cioè sulla percentuale di coloni stabilitisi in città con le loro famiglie rispetto a quelli che si insediarono nel territorio circostante una volta consolidatosi il controllo politico dell’area
Proceedings of the LREC 2020 workshop on Resources and Techniques for User and Author Profiling in Abusive Language (ResT-UP 2020)
No full textThis volume documents the Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Resources and Techniques for User and Author Profiling in Abusive Language (ResT-UP), held online on 12 May 2020 as part of the LREC 2020 conference (International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation).
The workshop aimed at bringing together researchers and scholars working on author profiling and automatic detection of abusive language on the Web, e.g., cyberbullying or hate speech, with a twofold objective: improving the existing LRs, e.g., datasets, corpora, lexicons, and sharing ideas on stylometry techniques and features needed for profile information extraction and classification. ResT-UP targeted Profiling scholars and research groups, experts in Statistic and Stylistic Analysis of texts as well as computational linguists who investigate author profile and personality both in short texts (social media posts, blog texts and email) and in long texts (such as pamphlets, (fake) news and political documents). ReST-UP represented an opportunity to share profiling experiments with the scientific community and to show automatic detection techniques of abusive language on the Web. Despite the cancellation of LREC 2020 due to the COVID-19 international emergency, ResT-UP was organized online on Microsoft Teams on May 12th 2020 and the programme included three oral presentations and featured an invited talk by Paolo Rosso. ResT-UP was attended by about fifty representatives of academic and industrial organisations

Slavic, Romance,Germanic: about some Similarities and Differences in Phonological Development
In this paper the author aims at drawing a sketch of some aspects of the early Slavic phonological development, in terms of syllable structure, vocal quantity etc. The natural theory of syllabifi cation is taken into account as well as other factors. He tries also to shed some light on several controversial questions by a brief attempt at making a typological comparison between some aspects of phonological development in Slavic, Romance and Germanic languages. In this frame he discusses mainly some features of syllable structure in Romance and Germanic languages
La Government Accounting nel Regno Unito. Un approccio di Ragioneria internazionale pubblica
No full textGli studi di Ragioneria pubblica, anche in campo internazionale, sono focalizzati prevalentemente sugli Enti locali e sulle Amministrazioni decentrate, mentre non prestano la medesima attenzione al livello governativo, nonostante il peso del settore nella spesa pubblica e nonostante la sua rilevanza per i cittadini.
I modelli interpretativi dell’Economia aziendale non sempre riescono a spiegare con chiarezza i punti critici dei sistemi contabili e direzionali statuali in relazione ai peculiari bisogni informativi dei cittadini in quanto stakeholders. Negli studi di carattere internazionale prevale l’approccio descrittivo, mentre la fase prescrittiva è orientata più all’individuazione di best practices che alla scelta di soluzioni più efficacemente adattabili agli specifici ambiti applicativi. In questa prospettiva nasce l'esame dell'assetto contabile, direzionale e di controllo dello Stato del Regno Unito, particolarmente interessante perché inserito in un efficace sistema di relazioni istituzionali e democratiche e perché consonante con i sottostanti valori di etica civile. Si riscontra che al progresso degli standard contabili e di controllo del settore privato corrisponde un modello di allocazione delle risorse e di rendiconto di assoluto interesse: il budjet e la contabilità seguono il principio di competenza e ricalcano gli standard dell’Accounting Standards Board. Inoltre, è stato avviato il processo che porterà al consolidamento contabile dell'intero settore pubblico, compresi gli Enti pubblici e le Amministrazioni locali. L’aspetto più interessante è il sistema di controllo, preventivo, concomitante e susseguente, vero centro dell'attenzione del processo di miglioramento dell'amministrazione che si sta perseguendo costantemente dagli anni '90. L’esame del caso del Regno Unito è foriero di interessanti spunti per il nostro Paese, ove il sistema dei controlli è inadeguato. Sul piano scientifico, il lavoro evidenzia le relazioni tra i modelli contabili e di controllo, gli assetti istituzionali e i valori espressi dalla collettività e dai singoli cittadini
Per una temporalità circadiana. «Tre romanzi di una giornata» (1982) di Raffaele La Capria
No full textIn this paper, the author offers a Ricœurian reading of the ‘circadian novel’, taking Raffaele La Capria’s Tre romanzi di una giornata as his case study. After discussing current scholarship on the ‘temporal turn’ and the so called ‘one-day novel’, the author investigates the temporal structures of La Capria’s works through three temporal elements: differential, mundane, and mimetic. The author argues that these three elements, functioning both with and against each other, express the central concern of the circadian novel, namely the ‘fullness of time’
