La percezione della legalità nella scuola, lo sviluppo economico e del capitale sociale nell’Italia meridionale. Una misura di sintesi e un confronto sul territorio nazionale.
No full textL’obiettivo del lavoro è stato identificare e verificare le relazioni che legano il capitale sociale e la crescita economica alla percezione della legalità, nelle regioni italiane con particolare interesse a quattro regioni dell’Italia meridionale, Calabria, Campania, Puglia e Sicilia, appartenenti all’Obiettivo Convergenza dell’Unione Europea, cercando un punto di sintesi tra i risultati di due metodologie di analisi della legalità percepita tra i ragazzi degli Istituti di Istruzione Secondaria di Primo e di Secondo Grado (Progetto PON Sicurezza) da un lato e di stima del Capitale Sociale.
Si ritiene di aver apportato un elemento di novità, avendo integrato l’approccio individuale della stima della percezione della legalità degli adolescenti (parte del concetto di capitale sociale individuale di Backer) del Progetto PON con la proposizione di un modello di stima, strutturale, della misura del Capitale Sociale, identificato con le reti di relazioni interpersonali, con gli atteggiamenti culturali e con i comportamenti effettivamente tenuti dagli agenti, la società adulta, insistenti sul medesimo territorio.
Il primo dato che emerge dai risultati delle due analisi è che le reti di relazioni, il cosiddetto “Fattore di Prossimità”, è fondamentale sia dal punto di vista del singolo individuo (percezione della legalità, scelta di denunciare o di omertà) sia dal punto di vista della vita civica. In particolare, quando sono molto presenti i legami forti familiari, come nelle quattro regioni dell’Italia meridionale, oggetto del Progetto PON, è più difficile lo sviluppo individuale verso la società e, di conseguenza, a livello macro, uno sviluppo sociale, culturale ed economico del territorio. Laddove invece esistano legami familiari meno forti, a vantaggio dei legami deboli, rappresentati dalla rete di amicizie, di conoscenze, di partecipazione ad attività di volontariato e culturali, lo sviluppo del capitale sociale e di quello economico sono agevolati dalla fiducia nel vicino, da rapporti diretti con i singoli o con le Istituzioni, e non mediati da fattori protezionistici quali legami “para-sociali” o di legalismo esclusivamente normativo. Il secondo risultato da evidenziare è che livelli più alti di partecipazione ad attività e iniziative culturali sono fortemente e positivamente correlati con l’interesse per la politica, l’abitudine di tenersi informati leggendo i giornali, la partecipazione associativa e il consumo di beni relazionali e significativamente e negativamente correlati con il capitale sociale familiare
Civil Service: Ambitious Targets, Obsolete Organisation
No full textCivil Service: Ambitious Targets, Obsolete Organisation Cusina L., Di Biase R., Paolino L., Zicari S. University of Trieste (Italy) Abstract The Italian Civil Service is undergoing a fast-paced process of innovation. The aim is to meet the needs of users and improve the working environment. To achieve these goals the Civil Service is asked to implement entrepreneurial procedures, either in accounting or in the organisation framework. But restrictions in public spending make this process more difficult, obliging public management to face low cost innovation and organisation change. A quite obsolete conception of the public labour market provides further difficulties and produces some economic paradoxes. The present situation is marking a turning point that represents either a challenge to take up or a risk to keep under control

No full textQuality Teaching through Mobility: CEI University Network Cusina L., Di Biase R., Paolino L., Pibernik T., Zicari S. University of Trieste and CEI-ES - Italy Abstract This paper provides an overall view of the CEI (Central European Initiative) University Network. Founded in November 2003, with its headquarters in Trieste (Italy), the network aims at creating cooperation among the universities of the 17 Member States of the Initiative: Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia & Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine. The Network supports the mobility of students and teachers, by implementing Joint Programmes, such as PhDs, Master’s courses, summer schools, seminars and workshops. Joint Programme proposals are to fall within the three main Areas of Cooperation (Economics, Public Administration and Communication including IT), they should involve at least 2 universities belongin

The Voice of the Century
No full textThe fields of performance studies, empirical musicology, and the musicology of recordings have seen a tremendous development in recent years, shedding new light on the recent history of our performing tradition and conveying essential information to music practitioners, critics and audiences.
This innovative work considers the notion of bel canto and the manner in which this vibrant tradition lives in the records of Luisa Tetrazzini (1871-1940), one of the most celebrated sopranos ever. Tetrazzini, whose discographic career includes about 120 recordings, belongs to that generation of inspirational performers who heralded the dawn of a new era of music appreciation, alongside such iconic figures as Enrico Caruso, Adelina Patti and Nellie Melba.
Drawing on a vast body of scholarship and a number of contemporary reviews, Massimo Zicari establishes Tetrazzini’s role in the Italian operatic tradition and its much disputed set of performing conventions. His transcriptions of her recorded interpretations from Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini and Verdi will prove invaluable to singers and conductors interested in a tradition that goes back to legendary figures such as Jenny Lind and Maria Malibran. The author also discusses her voice quality and technique, tempo flexibility, her use of vibrato and portamento—features of musical performance that question several widely-held, normative views about aesthetics and interpretative tradition.
The volume includes eighty-eight musical examples and its closing section consists of the vocal scores of thirteen operatic arias. The musical material (both examples and transcriptions) is entirely original. This unique approach seeks to combine an academic perspective with the making of the music, in the hope that the plea for originality may be enhanced by models from the past

Computer tailored nutrition education: Mediterranean diet.
No full textGoal of this work is to promote via on-line applications the knowledge of the Italian Weekly Pyramid, which is based on the concept of WI (Well Being Index) as a unit for a correct lifestyle. On the website www.piramideitaliana.it the user can verify his/her weekly lifestyle by participating in a "game" based on the introduction, for seven consecutive days, of food and beverages consumption and time assigned to physical activity. At the end of the seven days it is possible to access the page with an evaluation of dietary habits together with the possible suggestions for a correct lifestyle. On the basis of the data collected through this web game, a statistical analysis has been developed to evaluate the food habits and the level of physical activity. In the period between September 2005-January 2010 16,546 participants have completed the game. The data collected compare actual WI consumption for each food group with the one suggested by the Pyramid. The sample eating pattern appears almost varied; all the food groups were consumed daily, albeit in much lower quantities with regard to the suggested portions. It is pointed out that some differences in the nutritional habits are related to differences in age groups and in the school degree of the sample analyzed. This work highlights the importance of web-based tailored interventions on population food habits: many people can be reached to promote the knowledge of the guidelines leading to a healthy lifestyle
