    The contribution focuses on telework, arguing that its spread is likely to exacerbate the already existing inequalities in the labour market. After outlining the reasons for the so-called teleworkability divide, the Author shows that thecleavage between those who can and those who cannot work remotely is not neutral, but rather a factor that accelerates and sharpen disparities among groups of workers, favouring onlysome of them. Attention will also be paid to the issue of discrimination in teleworking access policies and that of its so-called segregating effect. Finally, some possibleremedies to the detrimental consequences of the teleworkability divide are proposed

    Relazioni industriali e nuove tecnologie: conflitto, partecipazione e concertazione nell'era del lavoro digitale

    No full text
    Il contributo verte sulle numerose sfide poste agli attori delle relazioni industriali dalla digitalizzazione del lavoro, dimostrando come il crescente utilizzo di tecnologie sempre più sofisticate nell'ambito delle prestazioni di lavoro possa costituire sia una fonte di conflitto che un’opportunità di dialogo per le parti sociali. Infatti, l’organizzazione tecnologica del lavoro, in ragione dei suoi effetti sull'occupazione e sulle condizioni di lavoro, oltre che un tema oggetto di contrattazione, può costituire motivo di confronto con la controparte datoriale, se non di mobilitazione e di vero e proprio conflitto. Allo stesso tempo, però, non si può escludere che la digitalizzazione dell’economia possa indurre imprese e sindacati ad adottare pratiche di tipo collaborativo che consentano di affrontare al meglio le sfide poste dalla transizione digitale, coniugando cioè le esigenze di competitività delle imprese con il mantenimento dei livelli occupazionali e della qualità delle condizioni di lavoro

    Current Issues of EU Collective Labour Law

    The book collects the proceedings of the Seminar Issues of EU Collective Labour Law. What role for the social partners in the light of the challenges posed by the Recovery Plan and the digitalisation of work?, held in Bologna on 19 May 2023. The essays gathered by the editors focus on the unprecedented challenges to labour law and social partners arising from the digitalisation of the economy and the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) drawn up within the NextGenerationEU (NGEU) programme. In fact, the more the world of work changes, the more industrial relations are stimulated to adapt working conditions and labour market policies, as well as work representation and collective bargaining instruments. The various contributions in the volume address these issues, highlighting the adaptive function of social dialogue and collective bargaining at both national and European level and their role in order to exploit the potential and minimize the risks of the digital transition

    Il lavoro agile ai "confini della subordinazione"

    No full text
    Il lavoro agile, lungi dall'essere una mera modalità di esecuzione della prestazione, si connota per gli ampi spazi concessi all'autonomia individuale nella regolazione di istituti centrali del rapporto di lavoro subordinato, ivi compresi i poteri datoriali, nonché per la sussistenza di interessi e profili causali non ricorrenti nella fattispecie di cui all'art. 2094 c.c., tanto da indurre una riflessione circa i nuovi confini della subordinazione

    Strumenti e riforme per l'attrattività del lavoro pubblico: valorizzazione del merito e vincoli ordinamentali a confronto

    No full text
    Da tempo ormai le pp.aa. italiane sembrano scontare una certa mancanza di attrattività, non riuscendo a competere con i datori di lavoro privati nell’attrarre e nel mantenere alle proprie dipendenze quei talenti e quelle professionalità di cui invece avrebbero così bisogno per il perseguimento della loro mission istituzionale. Si rende dunque necessaria una profonda riflessione sul tema, individuando le cause dello scarso appeal del settore pubblico rispetto al settore privato, formulando possibili soluzioni e valutandone, infine, la fattibilità e la compatibilità rispetto agli attuali vincoli ordinamentali

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
