Pour regarder. Le Corbusier, Guido Guidi
No full textIl contributo focalizza sul costante interesse per le possibilità cognitive dello sguardo come tema che avvicina Le Corbusier al mondo della fotografia (e Guido Guidi a Le Corbusier). L’opera di Le Corbusier fino al progetto fotografico di Guidi non aveva ricevuto l’attenzione di un vero progetto di lettura fotografica. L’immagine della sua opera fotografata restava connessa alle fotografie di Lucien Hervé che avevano accompagnato il suo farsi. Il contributo illustra inoltre la nascita del progetto per il volume Le Corbusier, Scritti pubblicato da Einaudi nel 2003 e curato dall’autore di questo saggio, analizzando in percorso definito tra le opere architettoniche e soffermandosi in particolare sulla fabbrica Duval a Saint Dié.
The paper focuses on the cognitive possibilities of the gaze as a theme that brings Le Corbusier closer to the world of photography (and Guido Guidi to Le Corbusier). Le Corbusier's work didn’t receive the attention of a real photographic reading project before Guidi's photographic project. The image of his photographed work was identified by Lucien Hervé's photographs that had accompanied during its making. This contribution also illustrates how this Guidi's work has been originated by the volume Le Corbusier, Scritti edited by the author of this essay for Italian publisher Einaudi in 2003, and analyzes the path defined among the Le Corbusier buildings, focusing on particular on the Duval factory in Saint-Dié. In fact, Guidi has indelibly and definitively annotated (in the following years the building has been restored) its shades, gradations, and life through time
The visibility of the child in multiprofessional meetings - Italian welfare units collegial discussion under scrutiny
No full textBackgrounds -
The child wellbeing is a central issue for social workers and professionals in family welfare services.Child protection decision are often made after consultation in multi-professional teams. With differences according to child protection systems existing in each country, teams have diverse functions and purposes. Nevertheless some topics are commonly debated, one of which is the visibility of the child and the child view when decisions and transitions in the protection project are at stake. Referring to the Italian context, this study aims to highlight how social workers in Italian local welfare units represent children and their view, especially when child protection decisions are discussed.
Method -
In order to answer to the research questions ten multi-professional meetings in social services (statutory, health and no-governmental) in different Italian regions are investigated through participant observation. The meetings have been recorded and transcribed to capture child protection practices and the nature of child representation with specific regard to child view. A qualitative thematic data analysis has been implemented through NVIVO software. The study is part of a wider research project promoted by CNOAS (National Professional Social Work Order) and FNAS (National Foundation of Social Work) to Investigate qualities and problems of the work of social workers in the field of child protection
Findings -
Results show that social workers and professional discuss child protection cases for different and concomitant reasons i. e. share professional knowledge and experience to promote understanding and decision making, request for professional contribution and support. The study highlights various levels of representation of child conditions and family life, also adverse experiences are described. It emerges however a limited representation of the child view in collegial discussions.
Conclusions and implications -
The research highlights the need to improve the capacity to bring the child’s view and to promote competent engaging and listening with children and youth. In some cases, social workers experience challenges in interviewing children due to resistance and stereotypes related to their authoritative functions such as enacting children’s out-of-home placement. Moreover, the study indicates how the organisational nature of professional groups and their aim in the service system influence the professionals discussion, stressing the necessity of the collaboration among social and health service
professionals together with teachers and third sector practitioners.

A powerful veto for gravitational wave searches using data from Virgo's first scientific run
No full textThe use of vetoes generated from auxiliary channels suppresses most of the
high amplitude noise triggers that impair gravitational wave (GW) burst and
binary inspiral searches. DuringVirgo’s first scientific run (VSR1),many of the
remaining loud burst and inspiralVirgo triggerswere observedwith nearly equal
significance in both the in-phase (ACp) and quadrature (ACq) interferometer
output channels, while we expect the ACq channel to be insensitive to a GW
signal. We describe a veto based on the ratio of the amplitude of the ACp and
ACq signals. From studying hardware signal injections, we demonstrate that
the ratio of the amplitude of coincident ACp and ACq triggers can be safely
used to define a veto; we show its efficiency for the burst and binary inspiral
analyses of the VRS1 data
Does Independence Affect Regulatory Performance? The case of national competition authorities in the European Union
No full textDespite having always been assumed to be true, a relationship between the independence of regulatory agencies and their performance has never been formally tested. This paper aims at verifying whether formal regulatory independence affects the performance of national competition authorities in the EU member states. The author presents and discusses a statistical analysis which shows that greater formal independence leads competition authorities to investigate more cases and to issue more decisions

Competition policy enforcement in EU member states : what is independence for?
No full textThis book investigates the crucial EU policy of competition, which is enforced by the Commission and by national agencies that enjoy various degrees of autonomy from their governments. More and more policy-making activities are nowadays delegated to agencies that cannot be held accountable to parliaments, and ultimately to voters. The author explains why this is the case in the field of EU competition policy and discusses whether independence is linked to improved enforcement – as theories of delegation and common wisdom would suggest. These questions are explored with an in-depth analysis covering 27 EU countries for 17 years (1993–2009). While the results show that independence is given when countries lack credibility and good reputation, they also point out that autonomy from governments can hardly be associated with improved regulatory output. So, is independence of competition authorities useful to society in the end? This book will appeal to upper-level students and scholars interested in competition policy, regulatory agencies, and European public policy.1 Introduction -- 2 EU Competition Policy in Context -- 3 Independence: Reasons, Costs and Benefits -- 4 Explaining National Competition Authorities’ Independence -- 5 What Is Independence For?
