Condizione abitativa, fabbisogno di housing sociale e indicazioni di policy. Analisi e proposte per il territorio modenese
Full text linkIl paper, utilizzando la banca dati IcesMo, fornisce un quadro aggiornato e approfondito della condizione abitativa delle famiglie modenesi, con particolare attenzione a quelle in locazione e una stima del fabbisogno di housing sociale del territorio. Il lavoro si conclude con la presentazione di alcuni possibili politiche che si potrebbero attuare per intervenire sul disagio abitativo
I contributi alle imprese colpite dal sisma del 2012 in Emilia-Romagna: una base informativa per l'analisi e il monitoraggio della ricostruzione
Full text linkIn the project Energie Sisma Emilia (www.energie.unimore.it), the data on contributions paid for the reconstruction of economic activities damaged by the earthquake that hit Emilia in 2012 are an essential information for monitoring the reconstruction. This paper aims to describe the criteria to assign contributions for the restoration and reconstruction of the buildings (for industrial, agricultural and commercial) damaged by an earthquake. The data collected during the submission of applications for assistance, then processed by the head of the procedure for its payment, may allow to draw a clear picture of the reconstruction process by highlighting the specific sector and size of businesses affected, in the municipalities of the crater of the earthquake as well as of construction companies and professionals involved in the process of submitting applications for assistance and the implementation of the intervention.
In the Emilia Romagna region, businesses companies affected by the earthquake were given access to four sources of contributions: (a) for the reconstruction of buildings, temporary relocation, restoration of machinery and equipment and compensation for damage to the inventory of raw materials, semi-finished and finished products; (b) funds made available by Inail (National Institute for insurance against accidents at work) for seismic retrofitting; (c) funds intended for productive investment for innovation and (d) to support the location in case of unavailability of local unit in which it was performed, the activity before the earthquake, (ERDF - POR Regione-Emilia Romagna). By systematizing data and information available to date, we share some preliminary information gathered by the research group Energy Sisma Emilia for the analysis of data on the reconstruction of business companies, which will start once the data will be made available in an appropriate manner by the Emilia-Romagna
I servizi per l’infanzia in Emilia-Romagna: uno sguardo all’anno 2014-2015
Full text linkDopo avere analizzato lo stato attuale e l’evoluzione nell’ultimo decennio dei servizi per la prima infanzia in Emilia-Romagna, provando a identificare i fattori che a livello comunale incidono sull’indice di presa in carico, il presente lavoro vuole in primo luogo verificare se all’interno dei nidi per l’infanzia venga effettivamente rispettato un importante requisito organizzativo come il rapporto numerico tra educatori e bambini. Sulla base delle modifiche che la Regione Emilia-Romagna vuole apportare prima alla legge n.1/2000 che regola i servizi per la prima infanzia e successivamente alla Delibera n. 85/2012 che ne stabilisce i requisiti strutturali e organizzativi, nella parte finale del lavoro verifichiamo se e in che misura la modifica di tale standard produca un impatto positivo sui costi del personale educativo
La povertà in Emilia-Romagna negli anni della crisi
Full text linkL’obiettivo di questo lavoro è definire un profilo della povertà assoluta in Emilia-Romagna negli anni della crisi, al fine di individuare le tipologie familiari che hanno maggiore probabilità di trovarsi in tale condizione di disagio economico. Con la consapevolezza che la povertà è un fenomeno profondamente influenzato dal contesto socio-economico locale, questo lavoro, tramite un pooling di indagini campionarie IT-SILC, si propone di individuare le specifiche connotazioni della povertà in Emilia-Romagna, in un’ottica comparata rispetto ad altre regioni simili dal punto di vista socio-economico. Una buona conoscenza delle peculiarità locali e delle determinanti di un fenomeno complesso e multidimensionale quale la povertà rappresenta un indispensabile punto di partenza per la formulazione di interventi mirati in grado di contrastarla in maniera efficace
Considerazioni sulla sostenibilità economica di interventi di housing sociale
Full text linkIl paper illustra il funzionamento del modello sviluppato dai ricercatori del Centro di Analisi delle Politiche Pubbliche dell'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia per valutare la sostenibilità economica di interventi di housing sociale e individua alcuni possibili scenari attuativi, ragionando sulle leve che possono essere utilizzate per migliorare la sostenibilità di interventi di housing sociale
The CRZ1 transcription factor in plant fungi. Regulation mechanism and impact on pathogenesis
Full text linkCalcium (Ca2+) is a universal signaling molecule that is tightly regulated, and a fleeting elevation in cytosolic concentration triggers a signal cascade within the cell, which is crucial for several processes such as growth, tolerance to stress conditions, and virulence in fungi. The link between calcium and calcium-dependent gene regulation in cells relies on the transcription factor Calcineurin-Responsive Zinc finger 1 (CRZ1). The direct regulation of approximately 300 genes in different stress pathways makes it a hot topic in host-pathogen interactions. Notably, CRZ1 can modulate several pathways and orchestrate cellular responses to different types of environmental insults such as osmotic stress, oxidative stress, and membrane disruptors. It is our belief that CRZ1 provides the means for tightly modulating and synchronizing several pathways allowing pathogenic fungi to install into the apoplast and eventually penetrate plant cells (i.e., ROS, antimicrobials, and quick pH variation). This review discusses the structure, function, regulation of CRZ1 in fungal physiology and its role in plant pathogen virulence
Social transfers and poverty in Europe: comparing social exclusion and targeting across welfare regimes
Full text linkThis paper studies whether there are systematic differences in the ability of cash transfers, belonging to different welfare systems, to reach the poor and to lift them out of poverty. We structure the analysis following the classic breakdown of the various European welfare states into welfare regimes, in search of specific features of them that can explain the variable results shown in the ability to effectively tackle economic poverty. The analysis is carried out both with a cross-sectional approach as well as using a more long-run definition of persistent poverty
Understanding patulin role in blue mould of apples as a tool to improve its biological control
No full textPatulin ecological role has never been elucidated. Gene disruption was used to alter the
sequence of 6-methyl-salicylic acid synthase. Disrupted mutants were significantly less pathogenic
and virulent on apples. Mutants were more susceptible to the antioxidant quercetin than the wild type.
Patulin seems to have a role in blue mould pathogenic development on apples
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
