    Le politiche del lavoro nell'era digitale: indicazioni per l'Italia dall'evidenza comparata

    The use of digital tools in the design and delivery of social policies is a topic of growing interest in public and scientific debate. An important part of this debate is devoted to active labour market policies (ALMPs). In Italy, digitalization can provide an opportunity to fill some historical gaps and overcome structural limitations of ALMPs, particularly within the framework of the investments envisaged by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). This article first aims to offer an empirical account of the actual tools and processes introduced in four cases of ALMPs’ digitalization in Europe, selected according to the degree of development of digital services and their multi-level governance: the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Flanders. This description illustrates the governance of ALMPs, and then focuses on the dimensions of employment assistance that are most affected by digitalization: access, diagnosis, and job matching. This exercise is then made relevant to Italian ALMPs, finalizing it to identify some policy directions for initiating a strategy for the digitalization of ALMPs in such country

    Use of second-order statistics in texture synthesis-by-analysis

    No full text
    Synthesis-by-analysis is a well established paradigm for reproduction of textures having random appearance. In this contribution, in order to simplify the overall procedure in the case of colored textures, we exploit the second-order correlation existing between the texture chrominance and luminance components. Specifically, we perform the synthesis exclusively on the luminance component, while the chrominance components are reproduced by applying properly designed Wiener filters, whose coefficients have been previously calculated in the analysis stage. This approach yields excellent results especially on natural textures, which intrinsically present a high degree of correlation between the luminance and chrominance components. Moreover, to enhance the synthesis resolution, the same paradigm is then applied to reproduce high-order components of a texture multi-resolution representation based on the Circular Harmonic Functions expansion
