The open method of coordination – effectively preventing welfare state retrenchment?
No full textThis article re-examines the division between "optimists" and "pessimists" within the literature on the Open Method of Coordination’s (OMC) effectiveness. Each of those "camps" tends to focus on a different question. "Optimists" are more concerned with the question of whether the OMC exerts an influence on the national level and through which mechanisms, whilst "pessimists" concentrate on the question of whether the OMC can "strengthen" EU social policy and therefore European welfare states. This article combines these two perspectives and argues that the OMC is indeed capable of influencing national policies through the dissemination of ideas and "learning" as the "optimists" stress. However, policy "learning" at the member state level is shaped and constrained by a variety of internal and external pressures. Against the hopes of most of the OMC "optimists", this makes the OMC largely ineffective in preventing welfare state retrenchme
How legitimate is the open method of coordination?
No full textThis article argues that the OMC's legitimacy can be improved only by strengthening parliamentary channels of input-legitimacy since output-legitimacy alone is inappropriate and cannot be achieved without input-legitimacy. In addition, concepts and practices of direct 'stakeholder' participation currently applied within the OMC are insufficient in strengthening input-legitimacy
Diario veneziano e altri racconti: la rubrica di Milena Milani sul quotidiano La Stampa. Con un affondo sul Premio Strega
No full textThis essay offers a thematic reading of some short stories appeared in the
column that Milena Milani held in the daily newspaper La Stampa (Stampa Sera) from
1950 to 1964. In her texts, Venice is one of the cities of her youth, where to discover the
everyday but also herself as a writer, a profession that will identify her spirit in life. My
research also aims to highlight a brief catalogue of Milani’s short stories between the
forties and the sixties that could be read in her books and in newspapers and magazines
of that period. In the end, I also offer a list of her books in Italian Archives and author

Milena Jesenská and her work for Lidové noviny and Přítomnost
No full textThe thesis deals with the journalistic works of Milena Jesenská not only in Lidové noviny but also in the magazine Přítomnost in 1929 - 1930, resp. in 1937 - 1939. In her works we can find a number of repetitive topics. Most of them have in large part roots in her life. Her literaty output is permanently penetrated by her permanent need to help her surroundings and to protect her weaker residents, which is according to author's biographers for Milena Jesenská sheer crucial. The author stood in the years 1929 - 1930 as the head of women's section of Lidové noviny and was trying very hardly to fight for the change of the form of this section in the print at that time. Another significant topic was the issue of a modern woman and her role in the society at that time. The thesis deals also with the resonance of social relations and historic events in the examined texts. Politically tuned reflections or reports and reportage by Milena Jesenská in the magazine Přítomnost bring an authentic perspective to the atmosphere in the Czechoslovak society at that time
Blue luminescent amino-functionalized graphene quantum dots as a responsive material for potential detection of metal ions and malathion
No full textLarge amounts of hazardous and toxic substances in the environment require non-toxic, cheap, easy, rapid, and sensitive methods for their detection. Blue luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were produced by electrochemical cleavage of graphite electrodes followed by gamma irradiation in the presence of ethylenediamine (EDA). Modified dots were able to detect metal ions (Co2+, Pd2+, Fe3+) due to photoluminescence quenching. The highest sensitivity was detected for the sample irradiated at a dose of 25 kGy. The limits of detection (LODs) were 1.79, 2.55, and 0.66 μmol L−1 for Co2+, Fe3+, and Pd2+, respectively. It was observed that GQDs irradiated at 200 kGy act as an ultra-sensitive turn-on probe for Malathion detection with LOD of 94 nmol L−1. Atomic force microscopy images proved the aggregation of GQDs in the presence of the investigated metal ions. Results obtained by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and LIVE/DEAD cytotoxicity test indicated that GQDs irradiated with EDA are not toxic towards MRC-5 cells, which makes them a promising, eco-friendly and safe material for sensing application
Milena Marković's plays Пьесы Милены Маркович
No full textСажетак: Предмет истраживања је драмски опус Милене Марковић. Дисертацијом је обухваћен целокупан досадашњи драмски корпус Милене Марковић, укупно десет објављених драма (од Павиљони до Ливада пуна таме). Поред драмских дела, анализом је обухваћен и поетски опус ауторке у оном смислу у којем кореспондира (тематски и идејно) са наведеним драмама. Такође, успостављене су и везе са текстовима који се налазе у подтексту драме Наход Симеон, уз осврт на митске и архетипске одреднице присутне у свим драмама. Научно истраживање се фокусира на структуралне, али и на тематске одлике драмског опуса Милене Марковић, те се бави како драмским елементима читаним и постављеним у постдрамском кључу, тако и проблемским питањима која извиру из драмских текстова. Проучавања су вршена и са освртом на социологију уметности, на филозофске проблеме питања зла и слободе, те међуљудских односа, питања моћи, идентитета, потом на теорију рода и места трагичког, односно комичког дискурса у постмодерном свету. Циљ истраживања је био да се проникне у драматуршку поетику Милене Марковић, са резултатом у виду прве монографије о драмском делу ауторке. У тематским и проблемским оквирима драмских текстова, препознати су простори универзалних, архетипских, симболичких и семантичких вредности, преко којих се може претендовати достизање целине људског искуства, његове репрезентативности која се очитује у активирању универзалних митских значења и општељудских вредности. Истраживање је донело један свеукупни приказ драматуршких особености дела Милене Марковић, као и приказ статуса њеног дела у оквиру историје српског драмског стваралаштва. Приликом истраживања служили смо се различитим методама, херменеутичком, биографском (нови позитивизам), социолошком, затим текстолошком, компаративном, структуролошком.Abstract: The subject of the research is Milena Marković's dramatic oeuvre. The dissertation covers the 10 dramas published by Milena Marković to date (from Paviljoni to Livada puna tame). In addition to her dramas, the analysis covers the poetic works of the author in the sense in which it corresponds (thematically and conceptually) with her dramas. Furthermore, a relation was established with the texts found in the subtext of the play Nahod Simeon, with reference to the mythical and archetypal determinants present in all plays. Scientific research focuses on the structural, as well as on the thematic features of Milena Marković's dramatic oeuvre, and deals with both dramatic elements read and set in a post-dramatic key, as well as problematic issues arising from dramatic texts. The research was also carried out with reference to the sociology of art, to the philosophical problems of evil and freedom, interpersonal relations, issues of power, identity, then to gender theory and the place of tragic and comic discourse in the postmodern world. The goal of the research was to delve into Milena Marković's dramatic poetics, with the result being the first monograph on the author's dramatic work. Universal, archetypal, symbolic and semantic values are recognized in the thematic and problematic frameworks of dramatic texts, through which one can aspire to reach the entirety of human experience, its representativeness, which is manifested in the activation of universal mythical meanings and universal human values. The research compiled a comprehensive presentation of the dramaturgical peculiarities of the work of Milena Marković, as well as a presentation of the status of her work within the history of Serbian drama. Different methods were used during this research – hermeneutic, biographical (new positivism), sociological, textological, comparative, and structural
«Parole soltanto/ vorrei»: Milena Milani traduttrice
No full textThe essay investigates the meaning of translation in the work of the Italian writer and visual artist Milena Milani (1917-2013), who translated from French into Italian between 1944 and 1964. It was a period of intense cultural activity for the author, who was the partner of the gallery owner Carlo Cardazzo, founder of the Cavallino publishing house. The essay focuses on the relationship between the author’s translations and her artistic production, highlighting how the former influenced the latter, especially in relation to the translations of Georges Gabory's work. In particular, the article focuses on the translations of works by Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Mirò, which are particularly significant both for the author’s artistic and biographical experience
«Vorrei diventare una scrittrice importante» L’esordio romanzesco di Milena Milani
No full textThe Storia di Anna Drei (1947) is analysed through a double level of reading inside the story that makes a good job of shedding light on the imaginary of the author, Milena Milani. On the one hand, there are retraced the stages of the conception of her first novel, as the writer recalled them in her autobiographical texts, in relation to the setting (Rome) she described in the novel she wrote in Venice and to the building, through her pages, of her figure as a writer. On the other hand, the story of the first edition of the novel, published in the series “Medusa degli italiani”, is investigated, following her participation in the Mondadori Prize, with which the publishing house had intended to open and renew its catalogue after the Second World War
