Linee evolutive della regolamentazione e della vigilanza sulla innovazione finanziaria digitale
No full textIl capitolo esamina criticamente l'approccio adottato a livello internazionale e nazionale dalle Autorità di regolamentazione del settore finanziario nei confronti del FinTech, al fine di verificarne l'efficacia e la completezza, nonché i limiti ad oggi riscontrabili. La disamina tratta la vigente disciplina di vigilanza dei diversi comparti operativi del FinTech (equity e lending crowdfunding, pagamenti e criptovalute, attività bancaria, servizi di investimento) e mette in luce le ricadute in tema di tutela della clientela

FinTech, BigTech and Banks. Digitalisation and its Impact on Banking Business Models
No full textThis Palgrave Pivot analyses the evolution of strategies and business models adopted by financial operators that employ technological solutions to deliver financial products and services. The analysis is performed on a proprietary dataset built on
different sources that highlight important differences in strategical approaches taken by FinTech companies, TechFin and BigTech, and banks (traditional and digital native).
For each type, the authors underline their distinctive patterns, strengths and weaknesses. The main focus of the analysis in on the European market that is investigated also in the light of the difference and similarities with other markets (such as US and China).
This book addresses this and would appeal to academics, researchers and students of banking, FinTech and financial innovation alongside policy makers, regulatory authorities, FinTechs and banks
Energy cost and efficiency of Venetian rowing on a traditional, flat hull boat (Bissa)
No full textThe total net metabolic power output (E, kW) required to scull a traditional, flat hull boat--the "Bissa", 9.02 m long and weighting about 500 kg including the crew-was assessed at different constant speeds (nu) ranging from 2.44 to 3.75 m s(-1). E increased with the speed: E = 0.417 x e (0.664v ); r (2) = 0.931. The amount of metabolic energy spent per unit distance (C, J m(-1)) to move the "Bissa", calculated by dividing E by the corresponding nu, was a linear function of nu: C = 0.369 nu -0.063; r (2) = 0.821. The hydrodynamic resistance met by the boat in the water--drag (D, N)--was estimated by analysing the decay of the reciprocal of nu as a function of time measured during several spontaneous deceleration tests carried out in still water and by knowing the total mass of the watercraft plus crew. D increased as a square function of speed: D = 12.76 v (2). This allowed us to calculate the drag efficiency (g(d)), as the ratio of D to C: g(d) increased from 8.9 to 13.7% in the range of the speeds tested. The "Bissa" turned out to be as economical as other flat hull, traditional watercrafts, such as the bigger Venetian gondola, and her g(d) was similar to that of other modern and traditional watercrafts

Ergogenic effects of citrulline supplementation on exercise performance and physiological indexes of exercise performance during cycling tests: A review
No full textObjective. - The supplementation of the nitric oxide precursor citrulline has been shown to boost athletic performance and recovery. Citrulline supplementation is appealing since it can be achieved legally through watermelon integration into the diet. However, the conditions where such supplementation improves exercise performance or physiological indexes related to exercise performance during cycling tests are confused and controversial since results differ according to the dosage, intake modality (chronic vs acute), the sport of interest, training status, and exercise intensity taken into account. Thus, an overview is needed to clarify the effects of citrulline during cycling tests. Moreover, the amount of watermelon required to achieve a minimum effective dosage of citrulline is unclear. Methods. - This review analyses studies that investigated the effects of citrulline intake, taken acutely vs chronically, individually vs combined with other amino acids, and assessed through cycling tests in trained and recreationally active individuals. Results. - Previous research allows differentiating the citrulline effects during long-lasting sub-maximal intensity exercises, single sprints, multiple supramaximal sprints, as well as on the subjective feelings of discomfort associated with cycling exercise. Conclusion. - Collectively, 6 g/day of citrulline supplementation for 7 days seems to improve sustained high-intensity laboratory time trials in both trained and recreationally active individuals. Causes may include physiological and psychological mechanisms associated with an improved energetic cost of cycling and a lower perception of fatigue. Performance improvements are also noticeable during single sprints in recreationally active individuals only as well as on the subjective perception of muscle fatigue and soreness during recovery. No improvements are noticeable on repeated sprints in trained individuals. This dosage of citrulline could be achievable through dietary watermelon supplementation symbolscript to 1.68 kg of "Tom Watson" and "Jubilee" fresh watermelon) without adding additional chemical synthesis-derived products.

Effects of Flywheel Strength Training on the Running Economy of Recreational Endurance Runners
No full textFesta, L, Tarperi, C, Skroce, K, Boccia, G, Lippi, G, La Torre, A, and Schena, F. Effects of flywheel strength training on the running economy of recreational endurance runners. J Strength Cond Res 33(3): 684-690, 2019-Running economy (RE) has been defined as the most important determining factor in endurance performance in both elite and recreational runners. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of flywheel strength training (FST) and high-intensity training (HIT) protocols on RE and strength parameters in a group of recreational runners. Twenty-nine recreational runners were recruited to take part in the study and were randomly assigned to FST (n = 9; 44.5 ± 6.0 years; V[Combining Dot Above]O2max 48.8 ± 5.2 ml·min·kg), HIT (n = 9; 42.2 ± 8.6 years; V[Combining Dot Above]O2max 50.3 ± 3.7 ml·min·kg), or low-intensity training (LIT) (n = 11; 45.4 ± 8.0 years; V[Combining Dot Above]O2max 50.2 ± 6.8 ml min kg) groups. Before and after 8 weeks of an experimental period, maximal oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max), ventilatory thresholds (VTs), maximal dynamic force (1 repetition maximum [1RM]), and anthropometric data were evaluated. The FST group showed significant increases (p < 0.05) in 1RM and RE. No differences were found in the other groups. Significative changes are found for all groups on average speed on 2 and 10 km (p < 0.05). Anthropometric data were unchanged after the training period. The results of this study indicate that in recreational runners, FST seems able to obtain improvements in RE and neuromuscular adaptation
