EMMA (Earthquake Mechanisms of the Mediterranean Area) database contains available literature data with the
goal of making them more usable and available. EMMA is continuously improving by the addition of further
focal mechanisms found in literature. At the present time, EMMA pre-release 3 includes more than 12700 focal
solutions, about twice of previous official release 2.2 (Vannucci and Gasperini, 2004). They cover a time window
from 1905 to 2006. In the new release, many added solutions are in areas not much covered or completely
uncovered in the previous one (e.g. Bulgaria, Germany, Anatolia).
As in the previous versions (Vannucci and Gasperini, 2003 and 2004), we have uniformed the different formats
and notations of the data available from different sources and we have tried to solve misprints, inaccuracies and
inconsistencies that might make the data unusable for other investigations. By an automatic procedure based on
several criteria, we have chosen the “most representative” (best) solution when more than one is available for
the same earthquake. Thanks to this, we have obtained about 6000 best solutions. The end user can use the best
solution obtained with our procedure or he can change criteria.
The database allows to make selections and to export data files suitable to be handled by graphic software and
user generated scripts. In the new version, still MS-ACCESS based, we have added geographic information to
the display of the focal solution, as well as we have integrated the hypocentral and magnitude data found on the
original papers with those reported by regional and local catalogs and bulletins.
In order to make EMMA more accessible, a web version is currently in progress. Through an internet connection
it will be possible data selection and export, without installation and configuration problems found in the past.
EMMA was already used in the past and will be (hopefully) useful in the future to better characterize the tectonic
deformation styles (e.g. by moment tensors sum within given areas or over regular geographical grids) particularly
in areas of the European region where seismicity is moderate and only few CMT solutions are available.
At the moment, we try to compute strain map for Mediterranean area, using EMMA data. In order to represent
any recurrence in space, we identify small areas and apply to each one some spatial analyses. The work is still in
progress, but preliminary results are satisfactory and in accord to previous studies.PublishedWien5.2. TTC - Banche dati di sismologia strumentaleope

Il potere corrotto e l’illusione della democrazia
No full textUn sistema democratico ben funzionante dovrebbe possedere gli anticorpi per contenere, non potendoli neutralizzare del tutto, i rischi di distorsioni dei processi decisionali derivanti dall’influsso corruttivo del denaro. In primo luogo, la competizione aperta tra diversi partiti e individui che aspirano al governo per realizzare obiettivi definiti da programmi contrapposti dovrebbe rappresentare un freno al «cattivo comportamento», e dunque anche ad abusi e malversazioni dei politici al potere. Un efficiente sistema democratico dovrebbe premiare elettoralmente i politici in base al merito e alla competenza nell’affrontare questioni di interesse generale: individuare bisogni e interessi della popolazione, aggregare e integrare quelle istanze, trasmetterle in sede politica, favorire l’adozione di provvedimenti volti a darvi risposta. Perché la concorrenza democratica dispieghi i suoi effetti potenzialmente benefici sull’arena politica debbono però realizzarsi almeno due condizioni. La prima, cruciale, è che una competizione elettorale ben funzionante contribuisca a eliminare dal «mercato politico» gli «imprenditori politici» peggiori, ossia quelli inadeguati e corrotti, e a premiare i migliori, i più capaci e «onesti», ovvero quelli che non si appropriano in modo occulto di risorse pubbliche come «prezzo» non dichiarato della loro attività di intermediazione. Che si tratti dell’interesse degli elettori a sbarazzarsi dei politici compromessi, o dei partiti a includere candidati «puliti» nelle proprie liste, questo meccanismo di selezione della classe politica basato sulla scelta elettorale e sul conseguente rischio di sanzioni politiche ha una potenziale valenza di anticorruzione. C’è un’incognita, tuttavia: proprio le pratiche di corruzione, come una sorta di ruggine immateriale, contribuiscono a far ingrippare questo meccanismo. Altra caratteristica della politica democratica che potrebbe accrescere i livelli di integrità dei governanti è l’interesse dei politici all’opposizione a svelare e denunciare, dalla loro posizione di osservatori privilegiati, eventuali malversazioni e ruberie dei governanti, così da profittarne in termini di consenso4 . Si tratta di un’altra dimensione in cui la concorrenza politica potrebbe produrre effetti benefici, accrescendo la responsabilità dei governanti democratici: la minoranza che aspira a occupare quei ruoli di potere dovrebbe avere un forte incentivo ad esporre al pubblico eventuali condotte inappropriate, o vere e proprie illegalità, dei componenti della maggioranza al potere. Eppure, come vedremo, anche questo strumento di disvelamento della corruzione rischia di indebolirsi proprio quando più auspicabile sarebbe il suo attivarsi. Nel secondo paragrafo questi temi saranno ripresi collegando la natura della corruzione ai «valori» democratici che ne sono intaccati, mentre nel terzo paragrafo approfondiremo la natura delle distorsioni indotte dalla presenza della corruzione. Seguiranno infine alcune brevi considerazioni conclusive
