    COVID 19 and Wage Polarization: A task based approach

    No full text
    The aim of this paper is to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wage polarization in Italy, combining individual characteristics with their task content in terms of physical proximity within the workplace. We use an innovative dataset which combines data from two sample surveys, the Italian Labor Force Survey and Italian Survey of Professions, which provides information on nature and content of the tasks. First, by employing a non-parametric method (the Relative Distribution) we detect a general increasing wage polarization in the sub-period 2020–2019, driven by lowest deciles, after a reduction in the previous one (2019–10). Different groups have been also isolated. Workers with low education, high proximity to customers job, such as the immigrant, younger and female ones are the categories that more suffered the general downgrading of the Italian wages happened during the COVID-19 crisis

    No full text
    Introduction. Rhabdomyomas of the head and neck are exceptionally rare benign mesenchymal tumors. Rare cases have been reported to involve other sites of the body including the head and neck regions. Case Presentation. We report a case of voluminous extracardiac adult rhabdomyoma affecting adult patients and initially seen as slowly growing, indolent neoplasms. The patient is a seventy-year old male Italian patient. Conclusion. Adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor that may present with symptoms that vary from aerodigestive tract obstruction to remaining asymptomatic for many years. Although histology is very characteristic, several differential diagnoses have to be considered. To our knowledge, this is the first case of voluminous adult-type symptomless rhabdomyoma

    This study uses a counterfactual approach based on administrative registry data to evaluate the impact on youth employment of two selected demand-side public policies implemented in Italy in 2015: a rebate of social security costs (Law 190/2014, art. 1, c. 118) and a reduction in the costs to employers of firing employees (D. lgs n. 23/2015 under Law 183/2014).YEP - Youth Employment PartnerSHIPthis study uses a counterfactual approach based on administrative registry data to evaluate the impact on youth employment of two selected demand-side public policies implemented in italy in 2015: a rebate of social security costs (law 190/2014, art. 1, c. 118) and a reduction in the costs to employers of firing employees (d. lgs n. 23/2015 under law 183/2014). counterfactual impact evaluation of hiring incentives and epl reduction on youth employment in italy massimiliano deidda marco centra valentina gualtieri sergio scicchitano claudia villosio francesco trentin

    Didattica e ricerca. L’esperienza del Laboratorio aragonese e sforzesco

    No full text
    In the workshop on Diplomatic correspondences in the Italian Renaissance, directed in January-May 2018 by Francesco Storti and Francesco Senatore in the Istituto italiano per gli studi filosofici of Naples, 12 undergraduate and graduate students learned to read and trascribe italian diplomatic dispatches of the 15th cent., producing a specimen of scientific edition. In the opinion of the author, such activities and similar ones are very useful for future school teachers and scholars and they could be introduced in the university and pHD courses of history. Students of humanistic sciences should have concrete contacts with the historical research on primary sources. On the other hand, editing of historical sources could become a marginal activity because it is not enough appreciated in the current research evaluation processes.

    LA MADONNA ESTERHÁZY DI RAFFAELLO A PALAZZO MARINO, di Francesco Murano, Fotografie di Sergio Oriani Il curatore della mostra, Stefano Zuffi, ha voluto inquadrare criticamente l’opera di Raffaello proveniente dal Museo di Budapest, ponendola tra la Vergine delle Rocce di Francesco Melzi, proveniente dall’Istituto delle Suore Orsoline di Milano e la Madonna della Rosa di Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, proveniente dal Museo Poldi Pezzoli della stessa città. L’architetto Corrado Anselmi ha progettato un affascinante allestimento, concependolo come un percorso che si sviluppa attraverso tre soste utili all’ammirazione delle opere. L’autore Francesco Murano, spiega con ricchezza di particolari i vincoli del progetto illuminotecnico e le scelte luministiche.Once again, for the Christmas season, the Municipally of Milan decided to display an important work in the frame of the Palazzo Marino’s Alessi Hall. For this year 2014, the choice has been to propose the Estheràzy Madonna by Raphael, from the Museum of Budapest. The exhibition curator, Stefano Zuffi, wanted to critically frame to work of Raphael by placing it between the Vegine delle Rocce (Virgin of the Rocks) by Francesco Melzi, coming from the Milan’s Istituto delle Suore Orsoline, and the Madonna della Rosa by Giovanni Boltraffio, from the Milanese Museo Poldi Pezzoli. The Architect Corrado Anselmi designed a fascinating display, convinced as a path that develops through three stops that are useful for the enjoyment of the works. The author Francesco Murano, explains with many details the lighting design project

We developed software for a three-dimensional (3D) electronic report of venous hemodynamic mapping (MEVeC®) in order to represent lower limb venous vasculature in a 3D way. The aim of the study is to compare the novel 3D report with the standard report. Methods: Thirty subjects (medical students and GPs) evaluated a standard report and a novel 3D report of the lower limb veins of a prespecified patient. The cases were randomly and blindly taken from an archive of 100 cases. GPs and students answered a questionnaire made up of 13 questions that were structured in order to investigate the readability and comprehension of the two reports. A score ranging from 0 to 10 (0= not understandable; 10= full comprehension) was attributed to each report for each question according to the readability of the venous scheme proposed. Results: The scores from each question of the questionnaire were compared. The 3D report (MEVeC®) obtained higher scores than those from the evaluation of the standard report (P<0.0001). Each question revealed the superiority of the 3D report (MEVeC®) as compared with the standard report of the ultrasound evaluation of lower limbs. When dividing the scores according to percentiles, the 3D report (MEVeC®) still continued to show more readability than the standard report in a statistically significant way (P<0.0001). Conclusion: The new 3D report (MEVeC®) concerning ultrasound evaluation of lower limb veins is more reproducible than the standard report when evaluated by medical physicians not specialized in the evaluation of the vein tree of lower limbs.
