    Chapter Topic modeling for analysing the Russian propaganda in the conflict with Ukraine (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is changing Europe, which is facing a crisis destined to reshape the internal and external relations of the continent, shifting international balances. In this contribution, we show preliminary results on the monitoring of Russian propaganda. In fact, we analysed the content of online newspapers (Strategic Culture Foundation, Global research, News Front, South Front, Katehon, Geopolitics) used as propaganda tools of the Russian government. The newspapers create and amplify the narrative of the conflict, transmitting information filtered by the Kremlin to advance Putin's propaganda about the war. The objective of the work, therefore, is to understand what were the main themes that the Russian media used to motivate the conflict in Ukraine. Specifically, the proposed analysis runs from March 2021, when the Russian military began moving weapons and equipment into Crimea, to the end of March 2022, the day of the first negotiations in Istanbul. In this regard, we used topic modeling techniques to analyse textual content that uncovers the latent thematic structure in document collections to identify emerging topics.

    Chapter Factors affecting tertiary education decisions of immigrants in Italy (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: To identify the determinants of the choices of young Italian natives and immigrants with respect to tertiary education, two datasets for 2009 were used: European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the Italian Survey on Income and Living Conditions of Families with Immigrants in Italy (IT-SILCFI). A sub-sample of young Italians and immigrants between 20 and 25 years of age was set up, containing individual, family, and contextual explanatory variables. Their effects on the choice of tertiary schooling (yes/no) was assessed using an ordinary logistic model and a Lasso method to determine the explanatory set variables through a Bayesian approach. The transition from high school to university showed a complex pattern involving many variables: compared to men, women were twice as likely to continue their education, many components of income entered the model in a parabolic form, education level and income of parents proved to be very important, as was their occupation. The contextual factors revealed their importance: the latter included the degree of urbanisation, the South macro-region, household tenure status, the amount of optional technological equipment, and so on. Differences between Italians and immigrants disappeared when family background and parental characteristics were taken into account.

    Chapter An Open Data platform for decision making in local public administration (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: This paper presents the Milan Open Data (OD) platform as a means to provide statistics and data in the framework of “Data-Driven Milan”, a city where policy decisions are taken in an “informed and aware” way using data. Open Data are ever more important in providing citizen communities with useful information. Over the last 10 years, the municipality of Milan has developed its OD platform from an experimental portal to a fully-fledged portal with more than 1,600 datasets, implemented a Linked Open Data (LOD) system and 8 advanced data visualization projects, and produced OD policies and operating guidelines. The OD portal is based on the CKAN technology, which makes datasets available via both download and Application Programming Interfaces. It currently has about 9,000 unique visitors per month. Data are also published as tables on the statistical portal and maps on the geo-portal. A single entry point to the three portals is about to be released. The advanced visualization projects make data available as reader-friendly graphics. Depending on its topic, a project might be a storytelling of the city through key statistics, a means to communicate the administration’s achievements, or a “data democratization” operation, such as “Open bilancio”, which publishes detailed information about the municipality’s annual budget. LOD are semantically enriched and machine-readable data that help to implement data interoperability between distributed systems. The ongoing LOD automation project aims to improve the current system by minimizing manual operations in the dataset lifecycle. Three Municipal Resolutions have been issued to define OD governance: the first establishes that data are released under an Open License, to promote the digital economy; the second promotes data interoperability and quality; and the third, issued in 2021, establishes the guidelines and an operating model for OD governance, including ontology-supported data publishing.

    Chapter The impact of economic insecurity on life satisfaction among German citizens (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The concept of life satisfaction dates back to the Age of Enlightenment and became popular in the Nineteenth century as a synonym for ‘good life’. Efforts are still underway to overcome the traditional economic criteria of well-being by broadening the definition and measurement of life satisfaction based on a large set of indicators. Although ‘money cannot buy happiness’, the economic dimension remains a crucial element of life satisfaction. Economic insecurity arises from unpredictable economic losses, which may affect individuals’ well-being due to the feeling of failure and inability to recover. In this paper, economic insecurity is investigated for its impact on the trajectories of life satisfaction over a timespan of 30 years among working-age German citizens, grouped by age (16-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-64) and activity sector (secondary vs. tertiary). Latent Growth Curve Models were estimated on longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), using individual and time fixed effects. The analyses allow us to break down the impact of economic insecurity on life satisfaction into a fixed component and a specific random component for each individual. Every year, panel respondents have been asked to provide their subjective perception of life satisfaction on a 10-point Likert scale. Economic insecurity is measured through the Bossert and D’Ambrosio’s index. Our results show that economic insecurity has a negative impact on life satisfaction, which becomes more relevant for people in the 40-49 age group. This impact appears to be stronger for workers belonging to the secondary sector. Moreover, among the youngest individuals (16-29), such an impact shows a higher variability over time: therefore, within this age group, economic insecurity appears to affect life satisfaction more unpredictably. As relevant differences exist between the considered groups, our results give way to the implementation of targeted policy measures.

    Chapter Students’ feedback on the digital ecosystem: a structural topic modeling approach (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: Starting from March 2020, strict containment measures against COVID-19 forced the Italian Universities to activate remote learning and supply didactic methods online. This work is aimed at showing students’ perceptions towards a learning-teaching experience practised within a digital learning ecosystem designed in the period of first emergency and then re-proposed for the blended mode. Specifically, students, attending six teaching large courses held by four professors in two different Italian universities, were asked to express their impression in a text guided by questions, requiring the reflections and clarification of their and inner deep thoughts on the ecosystem. To automate the analysis of the resulting open-ended responses and avoid a labour-intensive human coding, we focused on a machine learning approach based on structural topic modelling (STM). Alike to Latent Dirichlet Allocation model (LDA), STM is a probabilistic generative model that defines a document generated as a mixture of hidden topics. In addition, STM extends the LDA framework by allowing covariates of interest to be included in the prior distributions for open-ended-response topic proportions and topic word distributions. Based on model diagnostics and researchers’ expertise, a 10-topic model is best fitted the data. Prevalent topics described by respondents include: “Physical space”, “Bulding the community: use of Whatsapp”, “Communication and tools”, “Interaction with Teacher”, “Feedback”.

    Chapter On the use of auxiliary information in spatial sampling (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Technology development has led to a growing availability of low-cost data ready-to-use, frequently derived from large scale observations (i.e. data from pervasive systems like GPS sensors, or remote sensing data from earth observation technologies). Oftentimes, these data can’t directly answer specific questions posed by researchers and data users, or even if they can they are subject to measurement errors or self-selection bias. In both cases it is still necessary to rely, at least partially, on ad-hoc probabilistic surveys. On the other hand, the precision and quality of surveys estimates can be improved by using the data derived from these new sources as auxiliary information in the design phase and/or in the estimation phase. We present a sequential sampling strategy, suitable to investigate a spatially-related phenomenon, which exploits the auxiliary information at design level in order to obtain efficient estimates when the relation between the auxiliary and study variables it is not completely known and/or is not univocally defined for the whole population under study. Using this strategy the final sample is obtained after two (or more) steps: (i) in the first step we collect an initial sample of observations on the target variable, which is used also to investigate the relation between the auxiliary and study variables; (ii) then, this relation is exploited to target and tailor the subsequent sampling step; (iii) additional steps can be included by applying the procedure iteratively. The performance of the suggested strategy is investigated through Monte Carlo experiments by considering several scenarios, which differ in the distributions of the auxiliary and study variables and in their relation.

    Beschreibung: Violence - as distinct from power - always seeks instruments for its existence. for its existence. Hobbes' old phrase is interesting to guide our to guide our reflections in the contemporary world: "Covenants without coercive coercive measures, they are nothing but words". After the Second World War World War II was not followed by a period of peace, but by the Cold War and the establishment of a military-military complex. and the establishment of a military-industrial complex (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) in the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte stated that historical events happen twice in the course of history. historical events take place twice in history: once as a tragedy and the tragedy and the second as farce. It is precisely on this second phase or repetition of historical events that this book is about. The The idea of trying to make an approach to reality studies of the 21st century with respect to the aesthetics of violence, understanding this aesthetics as the presentation of this particular as the presentation of this particular violence of contemporaneity, with its facilitating instruments, its with its facilitating instruments, with its discourses and its practices that make possible the naturalization of a policy that castrates rights. Does this aesthetics of violence in our contemporaneity behave in a similar way to the aesthetics of historical processes? similar to the aesthetics of previous historical processes? Bastide (2006) when analyzing aesthetics, argues that society shapes the reaction to it, and from the reaction to it, and in the same way here society shapes the practices of violence, especially practices of violence, especially when we analyze violence and its relation to gender issues. and its relationship to gender issues.

    Beschreibung: La violencia – distinta del poder – busca siempre instrumentos para su existencia. La vieja frase de Hobbes es interesante para guiar nuestras reflexiones en la contemporaneidad: “Pactos sin las medidas coercitivas, no son más que palabras”. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial no se siguió un período de paz, sino que la Guerra Fría y el establecimiento de un complejo-militar-industrial (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) en el 18 Brumario de Luis Bonaparte afirmaba que los acontecimientos históricos se pasan dos veces en la Historia: una como tragedia y la segunda como farsa. Es precisamente sobre esa segunda fase o repetición de los acontecimientos históricos que se trata este libro. La idea de intentar hacer una aproximación a los estudios de la realidad del siglo XXI en respecto a la estética de la violencia, entendiendo esa estética como la presentación de esa violencia particular de la contemporaneidad con sus instrumentos facilitadores, con sus discursos y sus prácticas que posibilitan la naturalización de una política castradora de derechos. ¿Esta estética de la violencia en nuestra contemporaneidad se porta de manera similar a la estética de procesos históricos anteriores? Bastide (2006) cuando analiza la estética argumenta que la sociedad moldea la reacción frente a ella, y de igual forma aquí la sociedad moldea las prácticas de la violencia, sobre todo cuando analizamos la violencia y su relación con las cuestiones de género. La violencia de género es practicada igualmente por la sociedad.

    Beschreibung: This book is the partial result of a research project called "Female electoral candidacies transformed into marketing products and fake news against female candidates: a comparative analysis between Brazil, Colombia and Mexico". The growing female participation in decision making in Latin America invites us to read with more patience and caution the phenomenon of the emergence of a type of feminization of politics. Two countries with trajectories marked by political scandals and corruption, such as Brazil and Mexico, show that if it was difficult for women to become protagonists as political subjects - note the feminist movements of the 70s, 80s and 90s and the recent achievements in terms of public policies for the protection of women - it is not very difficult to understand the difficulty that these women faced and still face to become protagonists in the political scenario of their countries, i.e. political actors. Therefore, this book reveals only some aspects of the political path that these women must face on a daily basis in order to gain access to spaces of power.

La creciente participación femenina en la tomada de decisiones en América Latina nos invita a leer con más paciencia y cautela el fenómeno del surgimiento de un tipo de feminización de la política. Dos países con trayectorias marcadas en escándalos y corrupciones políticas como lo son Brasil y México evidencian que si a las mujeres les fue dificultado el camino para su protagonismo como sujeta política, nótese los movimientos feministas de los años 70, 80 y 90 y las recientes conquistas en términos de políticas públicas de protección a las mujeres, no es muy difícil de comprender la dificultad que esas mujeres enfrentaron y enfrentan para tornarse protagonistas del escenario político de sus países, es decir, actoras políticas. Por lo tanto, este libro revela solamente algunos aspectos del camino político al que esas mujeres deben enfrentarse cotidianamente para acceder a los espacios de poder.

    Chapter Assessing intimate partner violence in African countries through a model-based composite indicator (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Violence against women has been recognised to affect all dimensions of women’s lives and health, involving both the physical and mental conditions of victims and their general well-being. Intimate partner violence (IPV) – characterized by one of the partners seeking power and control over the other – can be identified as either emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Recent data show that 33% of ever-married women in Sub-Saharan Africa have survived this form of abuse. The literature lacks an overall measure of violence suitable for surveys since the Composite Abuse Scale (Revised) – Short Form captures IPV mostly in a clinical setting. The data here used are drawn from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). They are part of fifteen surveys that include a module on domestic violence and were carried out in African countries mostly from 2015 to 2018. All women selected for this sample are married women, aged 15-64. Three logistic regression models were previously defined to investigate the determinants of physical, emotional and sexual abuse - independently. In these models, the history of violence – defined as witnessing parental violence, rape by a man other than her partner, and number of abusers in life – turned out to be crucial in predicting violence itself. The intensity of how justified wife-beating is by women themselves and the number of control issues also resulted as significant across all models. On the other hand, the partner’s high education and higher wealth turned out to be protective factors. On these bases, the definition and construction of a composite indicator of IPV with a Structural Equation Model (SEM) are already underway. The possibility of ranking the units of analysis according to the level of the IPV indicator can allow governmental and non-governmental organizations to implement socio-educational interventions that are better targeted to the actual needs of each context.

    Chapter The Land Cover/Use Code of the new Istat Census cartography (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: ISTAT census layers, realized by ISTAT since 1991, are in update; this kind of digital cartography divides the entire national territory in very small enumeration areas to which are linked all the variables gathered during the census surveys. This layer, thanks to the several pieces of information related to each enumeration area, has a huge value for the statistical description of the Italian situation also regarding land cover and land use themes. Therefore, to further enrich the information assets of the ISTAT cartography, Environment and Territory Service of the Institute aims to produce an implementation of the enumeration areas layer to homogenise them with regard their land cover and land use. In addition, this is achieved through a specific code (Cod_TIPO_S) that can be related to the European frame LUCAS (Land Use and Cover Area Survey) legend. LUCAS survey represents the official frame for the dissemination of land cover and use statistics at continental level. For our purpose a specific transcoding table has been created between COD_TIPO_S and LUCAS legend. New enumeration areas layer provides for 47 legend entries In this brief paper both the work carried out and some provisional results for some of the major Italian urban areas are illustrated. The activities are in progress and are based on GIS algorithm and Python scripts.

    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The variability of the characteristics of immigration at different territorial levels is an important key to interpreting social phenomena. This paper deals with immigration in the municipalities of the Northwest of the country. In the analysis, the databases of official statistics are considered. In particular, foreign population incidences based on ISTAT data in the last decades are used. The approach is a mix of complementary techniques of spatial analysis, known in the literature: the Univariate local Moran's Index, the Differential local Moran's Index and the LISA Cluster Transitions technique. The combined use of these tools allows both the representation of immigration structure at the municipal level and the analysis of its spatial dynamics. The results, determined by the complementarity of different methods of spatial analysis, allow to identify clusters of municipalities and to understand both differences and the dynamics of migration. The proposed analysis might be considered as a useful reference for the development of public policies at the local level.

    Reflexiones al margen de las tensiones entre los diálogos subjetivos, la aceptación pragmática y los discursos del derecho (2023)
    Corporación Universitaria Americana | Corporación Universitaria Americana
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-17
    Beschreibung: The purpose of this book is to incite a series of reflections on the subjective tensions and discourses of Law in a postmodern society where the act of existing advocates a liquidity between pragmatism supported by the values of consumption as an existential fetish that imprisons existence itself, and anyone who is outside this chain of consumption loses the very character of humanity - legitimized through the logic of consumption. In this moment of narcissism the subject is created - trapped in his own image constructed in front of others with the need to be appreciated and the object of consumption-fetish of his equals. Whoever cannot consume, whoever is outside the chain of consumption loses his status of "citizen"... citizenship contemplates those who are immersed in the game of consumption. This "fetish of capital" (Bautista, 2017) that produces an idolatry towards utopian values and sacrifices social coexistence itself in the name of an economic model, does not admit any other form of development and propitiates moral discourses where those who are absent from the policies of these discourses are marginalized. Is Law as a regulatory discipline - in Foucauldian terms - a participant in this fetishist logic, once this discipline regulates (Foucault, 2012) social relations?
    Beschreibung: Published
    Beschreibung: Este libro tiene como propuesta incitar a una serie de reflexiones sobre las tensiones subjetivas y los discursos del Derecho en una sociedad posmoderna donde el acto de existir preconiza una liquidez entre el pragmatismo respaldado por los valores del consumo como fetiche existencial que aprisiona la existencia misma, y todo aquel que se encuentra al margen de esa cadena de consumo pierde el propio carácter de humanidad – legitimada a través de esa lógica del consumo. En este momento de narcisismo se crea el sujeto-atrapado en su propia imagen construida delante de los demás con la necesidad de ser apreciado y objeto de consumo-fetiche de sus iguales. Quien no puede consumir, quien está fuera de la cadena de consumo pierde su status de “ciudadano”… la ciudadanía contempla los que están inmersos en el juego del consumo. Ese “fetiche del capital” (Bautista, 2017) que produce una idolatría hacia valores utópicos y sacrifica la propia convivencia social en nombre de un modelo económico, no admite otra forma de desarrollo y propicia discursos morales donde los que están ausentes de las políticas de esos discursos son marginados. ¿Acaso el Derecho como disciplina regulatoria – en términos foucaultianos – es partícipe de esa lógica fetichista, una vez que esa disciplina normatiza (Foucault, 2012) las relaciones sociales?

    Chapter Measures of interrater agreement when each target is evaluated by a different group of raters (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Most measures of interrater agreement are defined for ratings regarding a group of targets, each rated by the same group of raters (e.g., the agreement of raters who assess on a rating scale the language proficiency of a corpus of argumentative written texts). However, there are situations in which agreement between ratings regards a group of targets where each target is evaluated by a different group of raters, like for instance when teachers in a school are evaluated by a questionnaire administered to all the pupils (students) in the classroom. In these situations, a first approach is to evaluate the level of agreement for the whole group of targets by the ANOVA one-way random model. A second approach is to apply subject-specific indices of interrater agreement like rWG, which represents the observed variance in ratings compared to the variance of a theoretical distribution representing no agreement (i.e., the null distribution). Both these approaches are not appropriate for ordinal or nominal scales. In this paper, an index is proposed to evaluate the agreement between raters for each single target (subject or object) on an ordinal scale, and to obtain also a global measure of the interrater agreement for the whole group of cases evaluated. The index is not affected by the possible concentration of ratings on a very small number of levels of the scale, like it happens for the measures based on the ANOVA approach, and it does not depend on the definition of a null distributions like rWG. The main features of the proposal will be illustrated in a study for the assessment of learning teacher behavior in classroom collected in a research conducted in 2018 at Roma Tre University.

    Chapter A composite indicator to measure regional investment policies on R&D and innovation (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: The aim of this work is to illustrate the application of a tool to monitor regional smart specialization strategies, a place-based european approach characterised by the identification of strategic areas for intervention on r&s and innovation as a driving factor for development and territorial competitiveness. Therefore a new classification of enterprises has been defined, that represents all the dimensions of smart specialization, such as innovation, r&s, human capital, business relations, environmental sustainability, ability to drive the territorial development. This work introduces the results of a composite indicator on the microdata of the italian business census 2019, integrated with Istat business registers, identifying a score for each individual enterprises, rather than on aggregates (e.g. territorial). The idea is to have a synthetic value on microdata in order to calculate indicators on aggregates, for example on economic activities of enterprises, defined with respect to new policy needs. The results provide indications of potentials and strategic development trajectories of regional economies. The methodology adopted offer different opportunities for analysis: it’s possible to evaluate the areas of smart specialization chosen by each Italian region for the coesion funds' 2021-2027 planning, which dimensions are stronger or weaker on each area, in order to give indications on investments and intervention priorities. It's possible to get an objective analysis of the region or country current situation in terms of research, innovation, industrial structures, skills and human capital. The output of this work is presented through different dashboards of outcome indicators for the Italian smart specialization areas at the regional or national level.

    Beschreibung: Violence - as distinct from power - always seeks instruments for its existence. Hobbes' old phrase is interesting to guide our reflections on contemporaneity: "Covenants without coercive measures are nothing but words". The Second World War was not followed by a period of peace, but by the Cold War and the establishment of a military-industrial complex (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) in the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte stated that historical events occur twice in history: once as tragedy and the second time as farce.

    Chapter The relation between students’ educational performances and their access test results: a focus on an Italian case (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: This paper aims at analyzing the relationship between university performances of freshman students, measured by the University credits (CUs) gathered during the first semester, and the results achieved in T.E.L.E.MA.CO. test, a useful tool for orientation and access to university studies based on solid scientific methodologies, and their social-demographic characteristics. This analysis is useful to understand when and how timely policies and programs can be implemented to avoid losing students, a frequent trend, especially in the first semester of the first year. All the considered students are enrolled at the Economic Department of the University of Genoa. Data provided directly by the Department are analyzed from a descriptive point of view and then a logit model is used to compute the probability of getting at least 15 CUs at the end of the first semester. Furthermore, the paper investigates the existence of a gender gap in mathematics before the beginning of university and after the first exams, based on the score gained in the admission test in the numeracy section (pre-university assessment) and the mark obtained in the mathematics exam (post-university assessment). Finally, this work attempt to explain if the university environment contributes to increase or reduce the gender gap.

    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The present is an introductory summary on the topic of misinformative and fraudolent statistical inferences, in the light of recent attempts to reform social sciences. The manuscript is focused is on the concept of replicability, that is the likelihood of a scientific result to be reached by two independent sources. Replication studies are often ignored and most of the scientific interest regards papers presenting theoretical novelties. As a result, replicability happens to be uncorrelated with bibliometric performances. These often reflect only the popularity of a theory, but not its validity. These topics are illustrated via two case studies of very popular theories. Statistical errors and bad practices are discussed. The consequences of the practice of omitting inconclusive results from a paper, or 'p-hacking', are discussed. Among the remedies, the practice of preregistration is presented, along with attempts to reform peer review through it. As a tool to measure the sensitivity of a scientific theory to misinformation and disinformation, multiversal theory and methods are discussed.

    Chapter Tourism and territorial economy: beyond satellite accounting (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The tourism sector can be an important factor for the economic development. The increase in the present population, due to tourist flows, also activates a series of other sectors, generating significant economic benefits. At international level, the main tool for this type of evaluation has been identified in satellite accounting, which estimates the value added of the tourism sector, possibly increased by that coming from other similar sectors, obtaining the tourism value added. At European level, satellite accounting is a voluntary exercise for countries, which almost never finds a dimension of territorial detail, limiting itself to the national level. Having an accounting representation at a territorial level, even if only regional, would instead be very useful for both descriptive and forecasting purposes (Input-Output). In order to reproduce the estimates of satellite accounting at a territorial level, it is important to have monetary (tourist expenses) and non-monetary (attendance) variables. For Italy, if counted from the offer side rather than the demand side, these variables are available with at least regional territorial detail. On the other hand, the temporal alignment of this information is different, since tourist spending and tourist presences come from different surveys. However, we could start developing a methodology that starts from the offer, using value added as an accounting approach. The advantages would be important: the statistical information used would in fact be that contained in the Business Register FRAME, with considerable advantages from the point of view of the timeliness and homogeneity of the statistical data. Naturally, the various economic activities must be weighed for their link with tourism sector. This source of information could enjoy also the possibility of having information deriving from electronic invoicing. In this work, an attempt to estimate the tourism value added through the offer side is experimented at the regional level.

    Chapter Gender INequality Indicator for Academia (GINIA) (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: The main aim of this work consists on a methodological proposal to represent and measure gender inequality in academia, focusing on the University of Padua. In order to reach our goal, we ended up with two different and complementary tools: a system of indicators and a composite indicator, that we called Gender INequality Indicator for Academia (GINIA). Data used to build and compute GINIA in the University of Padua come both from administrative datasets and from an ad-hoc survey, whose data were adjusted by post-stratification weights. Starting from existing indexes described in the literature, the GINIA is articulated into seven domains: work, money, knowledge, time, power, health, and space. These seven domains are better specified and declined through twelve subdomains that are measured by seventeen variables. The composite indicator is the result of the three-step aggregation and weighting procedure: 1) variables are aggregated into subdomains with an arithmetic mean and equal weights; 2) subdomains are aggregated into domains by arithmetic mean with equal weights; 3) domains are aggregated into GINIA indicator by a weighted geometric mean. Indeed, we think that variables related to the same domain can compensate each other, while this consideration is not plausible for domains. Additionally, the weights in the last step are calculated through a preference matrix based on the responses of the respondents about the importance they give to each domain. The indicator can change substantially if we change the methods of weighting or aggregation. Therefore, an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis was undertaken to assess the robustness of the composite indicator as the final step of the analysis with the computation of bootstrap confidence intervals.

    Chapter The territorialisation of the 2030 Agenda: a multilevel approach (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The United Nations 2030 Agenda increasingly represents a reference point for political planning, as demonstrated by the centrality of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the new cycle of EU policies. According to the European Committee of the Regions, 65% of the Agenda’s objectives will not be achieved without the involvement and coordination of subnational governments. It is therefore necessary for the territories to adapt their programmatic tools in order to make them coherent with European and national programming, through the definition of a methodology capable of conforming the tools of local programming with those defined at the higher territorial levels. The aim of this paper is to present the methodological framework defined by the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASviS), based on the numerous experiences with local administrations, to support the implementation of multilevel sustainable local development strategies which make territorial planning consistent with the national and the European programming. The basis for correct multilevel programming provides for a mapping of the local context with respect to the 17 SDGs also through the calculation of composite indices, capable not only of summarizing the degree of sustainability of the individual territories for each Goal, but also of comparing the performance between the different realities belonging to higher or lower levels. Based on these results, the public and private stakeholders are involved in identifying quantitative “outcome” objectives, needed to define the commitments of the territories and to monitor the impact of policies with respect to the achievement of the SDGs.

    Chapter Spread of Covid-19 epidemic in Italy between March 2020 and February 2021: empirical evidence at provincial level (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Italy was one of the countries severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. An analysis of the factors that played a role in the spread of this epidemic is necessary. However, the assessment of which factors may be specific, and which may contribute the most is complex and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and analyse the statistical associations of the spread of Covid-19 infection with identified spatial context variables (density, old-age index, average temperature, and pollution). For this purpose, the developments from the spatial convergence theory were considered, as well as data from the Italian provinces from March 2020 to February 2021, referring to the first, second and third wave. The hypothesis tested in this study is to investigate the contribution of environmental and demographic factors to the convergence of observed infection rates. Based on panel data of 107 Italian provinces from the first to the third wave, this article uses a spatial autoregressive model (SAR) to analyse the conditional β-convergence of Covid-19 infection rates. The empirical results of this paper show that there is spatial conditional β-convergence in the intensity of infection rates. This means that the contagion in neighbouring areas will affect the contagion in the local area. The age structure and population density of the provinces had a certain promoting effect on the transmission of the infection, depending on the wave analysed. Regarding the observed average temperature, the effects are not very significant and inconsistent. For the first and last wave, the level of pollution is significant in explaining the convergence processes of the infection. We demonstrate that accounting for spatial factors is essential to capture key features of the spread of Covid-19 infection.

    Chapter Ammonia emissions and fine particulate matter: some evidence in Lombardy (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Lombardy is one of the most polluted regions at the European level, also due to its particular geographical structure and weather conditions which prevent the pollutants’ dispersion, and the high levels of emissions coming from human activities. Recently, some evidence has been found regarding the relationship between agriculture and air quality, particularly between ammonia - produced mainly by the livestock sector - and particulate matter concentrations. In this respect, Lombardy is the first Italian region for agriculture production, having 69% of its area classified as agricultural land and about 245 swine and 92 bovines per rural km2. In the Agriculture Impact On Italian Air project (AgrImOnIA, https://agrimonia.net, funded by Fondazione Cariplo within the framework of Data Science for science and society), we aim to predict continuously in space (i.e. mapping) air pollutants concentrations in Lombardy region, taking into account meteorology, land use and emissions coming from agriculture. In this regard, data integration and harmonization process have been carried out starting from data from different sources and characterized by different spatial and temporal resolutions. The first results are based on spatio-temporal Kriging models, with external drift, and an extension of the traditional random forest algorithm to consider the spatial and temporal correlation. These models will be used to generate scenario analysis which simulates the impact of policy interventions in the agricultural sector to mitigate its environmental impact on air quality.

    Chapter Internet use, feeling of unacceptance and Loneliness: immigrants of first and second generation in Italy (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: Introduction Internet has become an essential part of our everyday life and several goals can be achieved through it. While part of the literature on the topic found a positive correlation between loneliness and the use of the internet, other authors found a negative relationship between loneliness and internet use. Objective The aim of our analysis is to investigate the difference in the use of the Internet between immigrants of first- and second-generation in Italy. Data & Methods Using the Survey on Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens conducted by Istat in 2011-2012, we want to estimate, through a Probit estimation model, the impact of socio-economic characteristics on the regularity of using the Internet. The dependent variable is “Internauta” (Dummy: 1 if subject use internet every day; 0 otherwise). Among the explanatory variables, we included the perception of the subjects about their integration in the social framework and their feeling, such as loneliness, or the perception of unacceptance. Results Our results show that the probability of being an “Internauta” increases being male and living in the North or Centre of Italy. Moreover, both of the feelings (feels alone and not accepted) are negatively correlated to the probability of being an Internet user both for First- and Second-Generation immigrants. Second-generation immigrants are more likely to use the internet everyday than the First-generation ones (the difference in predicted probability is equal to 11%). This probability decreases to 0.59, if the second-generation immigrant feels unaccepted in the city where he/she lives, and to 0.71 if he/she fells alone. Conclusion We can conclude that new possibilities offered by “web sociability” or, in general, by the use of the Internet, is negatively correlated to the immigrants’ dissatisfaction that we identify with the perception of integration and sociability in the offline life (Loneliness and Unacceptance).

    Chapter Potential risk of gambling products and online gambling among European adolescents (2023)

    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: he increased availability of gambling opportunities resulting from the progressive liberalisation of the gambling sector coupled with the widespread access to online gambling, is raising concerns regarding adolescents’ participation in gambling and possible increase in problem-gambling. However, the influence of the different gambling products commercialised across countries is less known. This is the first study estimating problem gambling (PG) prevalence and examining the contribution of individual factors and gambling products on gambling engagement and PG development among European adolescents. The study used data from a representative cohort of 16-year-old students (n= 85,000) in 33 European countries participating in the 2019 ESPAD survey. In order to control for self-selection a Heckman probit model is estimated, first controlling for the probability of being gambler and then for the correlated probability of becoming a problem gambler. The influence of individual and country-level factors is estimated on both outcomes, as well as among gamblers using each type of gambling products. Participants who reported stronger family support had lower risk of gambling engagement, whilst friends’ support, lack of school connectedness, low monitoring, higher parental education and access to money increased the risk. At the country-level, the higher diffusion of some gambling products was positively associated with gambling engagement. Once controlling for the influence on gambling engagement, factors that still increase the risk of becoming problem gambler independently from the country of origin were the lack of school connectedness and parental monitoring. Specific gambling products and online games increased PG risk. The influence of such factors on PG development is also analysed among gamblers using each product. Supportive family environments, school connectedness and limited access to money appear to be associated with a lower risk of PG among adolescents. At the country-level, governments should better enforce barriers to underage access to gambling products, particularly online.

    Chapter Given N forecasting models, what to do? (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: This work evaluates the forecasting performances of different models using data on Italian unemployment and employment rates over the years 2004-2022 at the monthly frequency. The logic of this work is inspired by the series of M-Competitions, i.e. the tradition of competitions organized to test the forecasting performances of classical and innovative models. Given N competing models, only one winner is selected. The types of forecasting models range from the Exponential Smoothing family to ARIMA-like models, to their hybridization, to machine learning and neural network engines. Model combinations through various ensemble techniques are also considered. Once the observational period is split between the training and test set, the estimated forecasting models are ranked in terms of fitting on the training set and in terms of their forecast accuracy on the test set. Results confirm that it does not exist yet a single superior universal model. On the contrary, the ranking of different forecasting models is specific to the adopted training set. Secondly, results confirm that performances of machine learning and neural network models offer satisfactory alternatives and complementarities to the traditional models like ARIMA and Exponential Smoothing. Finally, the results stress the importance of model ensemble techniques as a solution to model uncertainty as well as a tool to improve forecast accuracy. The flexibility provided by a rich set of different forecasting models, and the possibility of combining them, together represent an advantage for decision-makers often constrained to adopt solely pure, not-combined, forecasting models. Overall, this work can represent a first step toward the construction of a semi-automatic forecasting algorithm, which has become an essential tool for both trained and untrained eyes in an era of data-driven decision-making.

    Chapter Educational mismatch and productivity: evidence from LEED data on Italian firms (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: This study aims at evaluating the impact of educational mismatch onto firm-level productivity for a large set of Italian firms. In particular, over (under)-education refers to situations where individual’s educational attainment is higher (lower) than the education required by the job, thereby producing a surplus (deficit) of education. Based on the integration of the LEED (Linked Employer Employee Database) Istat Statistical Register Asia Occupazione – which provides information on workers’ age, professional qualification and educational attainment – and the Istat Frame-SBS Register, we perform an analysis in the spirit of the ORU (Over, Required and Under Education) model proposed by Kampelmann e Rycx (2012). The dataset is based on a large panel of over 55,000 manufacturing and services firms with more than 20 employees, covering the 2014-2019 period. The empirical strategy is based on a two-step procedure: first, ORU indicators are computed at the worker-level; second, we estimate a firm-level productivity (value added per employee) function where the key variables of interest are the ORU indicators collapsed at the firm-level, taking into account both firm and workers characteristics. The productivity function is estimated by GMM-system by Arellano and Bond (1995) e Blundell and Bond (1988). Main results point out that over/under-education affects productivity growth in both manufacturing and services firms: firm’s productivity rises following a one unit increase in mean years of over-education – with spiking results for medium and high-tech manufacturing firms –, whereas a growth in under-education hampers productivity dynamics in high and medium-high tech manufacturing and knowledge-intensive services firms.

    Chapter Population ageing and sustainability in South Tyrol: measuring the economic implications of an ageing society (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Meeting the challenge of population ageing requires a better understanding of frailty and disability, and appropriate strategies to ensure the resilience of the health and social care system, without destabilising public finances or over-burdening the economy. An increasing life expectancy will primarily affect the health care and the long-term care spending. Countries will face an ongoing challenge to provide care for a heterogeneous population of older adults. Within this context, the current paper is designed to (a) measure the current needs for social care in South Tyrol, (b) identify the local trajectories of health status, disaggregated by age, sex and severity of illness, (c) forecast the health care needs and the healthcare system’s financial sustainability. Demographic forecast data (up to 2050) on population age and sex structure is provided by ISTAT . Health care data for administrative and billing purposes is from the Autonomous Province of Bozen-Bolzano, which are used to study health care delivery, benefits, harms, and costs. Preliminary results show a decrease in the prevalence of individuals receiving home care allowance from 2009 to 2019 for all levels of severity and both for men and women. Overall, greater prevalence occurs at lower levels of health condition severity (levels 1 and 2 over a four points-scale of severity) and after age 75. Historical payments combined with the demographic forecast allow for an estimate of yearly average costs individual recipients (by age, sex, and health condition) as well as for the whole local social system.

    Chapter Trust and security in Italy (2023)

    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Starting from 2018, the European University Institute’s European Governance and Politics Programme developed an international survey in order to monitor the development of Solidarity in Europe. The text of the survey changed across the four available waves, but there were sections remained unchanged over the years, that is the ones concerning security (how secure or insecure do you feel about each of the following areas?) and trust in national government and European Union (how much do you trust … to make things better in the following area?). The interesting thing in these three sections is that they are composed of the same 10 areas (items) on a 4 point Likert scale. The data are not longitudinal, given that the subjects changes at each time span, so the four waves can be considered together, and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) across time can be used as a tool to investigate, for each area, if and how the difficulty to feel secure or to trust significantly changes over time. This use of DIF analysis if far from its common use, which is connected with the assessment of the validity of a scale, given that it tests the invariance of an item with respect to the characteristics of the subjects (a typical example is the gender). The focus is on Italy. Moreover, applying the Rating Scale Model (RSM), which is a model belonging to the Rasch family of models, it is possible to study the evolution of the perceived security and owned trust, analysing the distance between the estimated mean of each latent trait and the mean item difficulty, which was set to zero. It is not possible to compare directly the different distributions over the years because the measures obtained from the RSM are on the logit scale, which is an interval scale.

    Beschreibung: Violence - as distinct from power - always seeks instruments for its existence. Hobbes' old phrase is interesting to guide our reflections on contemporaneity: "Covenants without coercive measures are nothing but words". The Second World War was not followed by a period of peace, but by the Cold War and the establishment of a military-industrial complex (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) in the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte stated that historical events occur twice in history: once as tragedy and the second time as farce.

    Reflexiones al margen de las tensiones entre los diálogos subjetivos, la aceptación pragmática y los discursos del derecho (2023)

    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-18
    Beschreibung: The purpose of this book is to incite a series of reflections on the subjective tensions and discourses of Law in a postmodern society where the act of existing advocates a liquidity between pragmatism supported by the values of consumption as an existential fetish that imprisons existence itself, and anyone who is outside this chain of consumption loses the very character of humanity - legitimized through the logic of consumption. In this moment of narcissism the subject is created - trapped in his own image constructed in front of others with the need to be appreciated and the object of consumption-fetish of his equals. Whoever cannot consume, whoever is outside the chain of consumption loses his status of "citizen"... citizenship contemplates those who are immersed in the game of consumption. This "fetish of capital" (Bautista, 2017) that produces an idolatry towards utopian values and sacrifices social coexistence itself in the name of an economic model, does not admit any other form of development and propitiates moral discourses where those who are absent from the policies of these discourses are marginalized. Is Law as a regulatory discipline - in Foucauldian terms - a participant in this fetishist logic, once this discipline regulates (Foucault, 2012) social relations?

    Beschreibung: Este libro tiene como propuesta incitar a una serie de reflexiones sobre las tensiones subjetivas y los discursos del Derecho en una sociedad posmoderna donde el acto de existir preconiza una liquidez entre el pragmatismo respaldado por los valores del consumo como fetiche existencial que aprisiona la existencia misma, y todo aquel que se encuentra al margen de esa cadena de consumo pierde el propio carácter de humanidad – legitimada a través de esa lógica del consumo. En este momento de narcisismo se crea el sujeto-atrapado en su propia imagen construida delante de los demás con la necesidad de ser apreciado y objeto de consumo-fetiche de sus iguales. Quien no puede consumir, quien está fuera de la cadena de consumo pierde su status de “ciudadano”… la ciudadanía contempla los que están inmersos en el juego del consumo. Ese “fetiche del capital” (Bautista, 2017) que produce una idolatría hacia valores utópicos y sacrifica la propia convivencia social en nombre de un modelo económico, no admite otra forma de desarrollo y propicia discursos morales donde los que están ausentes de las políticas de esos discursos son marginados. ¿Acaso el Derecho como disciplina regulatoria – en términos foucaultianos – es partícipe de esa lógica fetichista, una vez que esa disciplina normatiza (Foucault, 2012) las relaciones sociales?

    Chapter Interventions for non-self-sufficiency – Focus on care and social policies in South Tyrol (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: Background: A growing body of scientific literature points to the consequences of various factors related to housing status on the well-being of individuals, particularly the elderly. This project aims to develop models that guarantee high-quality care for older people living in the province of Bolzano based on quantitative data analysis. Current changes within the family structure make it increasingly necessary to find new answers to the needs of the elderly. Based on these assumptions, we will investigate which support options encourage older people to live longer in their own homes. Methods: The sample is characterized by individuals residing in South Tyrol, living in their own homes and over 60 years of age. A 14-page questionnaire was administered in 2020 in German and Italian to 536 individuals. Utilizing a latent class model, we first tried to identify which factors act as resources and which as barriers for older people. In addition, using a quantile model, we investigated some aspects of satisfaction with the neighbourhood, measured with a 10-point scale. Results: The study shows that architectural barriers and harmful sanitary conditions are negatively associated with housing satisfaction. At the same time, social activities, a good relationship with the neighbourhood and safe living conditions act as resources. The role of neighbours and voluntary work increase housing satisfaction and ensure that older people stay in their homes as long as possible, playing a crucial role in this respect. With regards to the satisfaction with the neighbourhood, we can observe that the effect tends to be much stronger and more negative for individuals with an overall low neighbourhood frequency. Discussion: as in previous research, the objective indicators showed a more significant impact, while the positive results regarding some subjective factors deserve further investigation.

    Chapter Are Italian youngsters adequately equipped for an after-pandemic upswing? (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: Are Italian youngsters adequately equipped for an after-pandemic upswing?All over the world young people seem to be particularly dazed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Indeed, they were touched just lightly by the disease, though the isolation due to the distancing need and the remote learning mode may be the sources of depressive ailments and other psychological distresses. In this paper we analyse the data collected through a survey conducted in the second half of 2021 among a convenience sample of Italian adults. The survey was aimed at highlighting how Italians experienced the pandemic and the way they perceived their futures. About one third of the sample was below 35 and we consider them the young. Most of them were students, a few worked, some were looking for a job. The analysis of the collected data shows that so many young Italians were disturbed by the pandemic, even though the sanitary impact of the disease on them was much less relevant than other age classes. Among the youngsters, the depression and anxiety rates was significantly higher than other adults, the perception of a future role was limited to them and their potential resources for future life was also jeopardized. The possible causes of the reduction capacity among young adults was scouted through a multivariate statistical analysis. It showed that the perception of personal difficulties is correlated to a feeling of uncertainty for their future roles, to a pressure over their social-economical and personal resources to face their future and to a sort of apathy that could limit their pro-activeness.

    Chapter Sustainable development goals: classifying European countries through self-organizing maps (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: Environmental sustainability is one of the main goals of all countries in the world. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been proposed by the United Nations in 2015. The purpose of this paper is to explore if and how European countries achievethe goals of environmental sustainability (tracked by the SDGs number 13, 14, and 15). In particular, SDG 13 refers to climate change and its impacts; SDG 14 refers to the conservation of water and marine resources while the last one; SDG 15 deals with the preservation of forests. The reference methodology of the paper are the Self-Organizing Maps proposed by Kohonen in 1982 as an unsupervised clustering method in the framework of artificial neural networks. The proposed analysis considers the 23 indicators related to the three SDGs of environmental sustainability and aims to explore and identify groups of countries with similar characteristics through a dimensionality reduction. Such clusters will be visually represented in a two-dimensional map. The proposed analysis considers the most recent data for all the above SDGs, which is 2018, with the aim of classifying the countries in terms of environmental sustainability and highlighting possible implications for policymakers. An analysis of the network accuracy is shown, using appropriate indicators. These results allow us to see which countries have achieved these goals and how they have deviated from them.

    Chapter On the utility of treating a vineyard against Plasmopara viticola: a Bayesian analysis (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Plasmopara viticola is the causal agent of the downy mildew, the most severe disease of grapevines. In order to prevent and/or mitigate the plant disease, fungicide treatments are often required, despite the presence of side effects on the environment and the potential hazard for human health in case of prolonged exposition. The choice of proper treatments and optimal scheduling is the key to managing downy mildew in an eco-friendly way. Plasmopara viticola’s growth depends on meteorological variables, like temperature and rain, plant’s genotype, the degree of exposition to oospores and soil conditions. Field measurements are expensive both for the high cost of oospore sensors and for the need of meteorological sensors describing the microclimate around each plant. Whatever the amount of information gathered from sensors of a vineyard, a decision must be taken, e.g. according to the predicted probability of infected leaves (and grapes) and considering side effects like the impact of a chemical treatment on the soil and on biodiversity. A multi-attribute utility function on variables describing future consequences of a decision may be defined by following the assumptions of utility independence and preferential independence. The inherent uncertainty is described by a Bayesian prior-predictive distribution where prior are elicited from experts, and eventually updated using available data. The resulting optimal decision is defined as the argument that maximises the expected value of the utility function. The proposed utility function may be tuned to match the individual preference scheme of the winegrower and eventually extended to include further variables like those describing the quality and yield of grapes.

    Chapter New perspectives for the quality of sub-municipal data with the Italian permanent population and housing census (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Over the years, official statistics have shown increasing attention to the territory in providing detailed and quality information and, in this sense, the Population and Housing Census has always guaranteed the availability of sub-municipal data useful for decision-making processes in the social, economic and environmental fields. The Istat modernization programme introduced the Permanent Census that, differently from the traditional decennial census essentially drew on collecting data from people, is strongly based on the integration of administrative and sample data, and planned for providing yearly statistical figures. This change requires new methodological and IT architectures. It is a revolution that – on the medium term – is expected to provide more stable and coherent figures at various territorial levels.In this framework, sub-municipal data derives from the integration of the Basic Register of Individuals and the Basic Register of Places. The quality of data depends on the quality of the Registers and the procedures adopted to integrate and elaborate input data. In this regard, Istat is working to improve the geocoding information and linkage procedures. One of the problem encountered is that of non-geocoded units. These are units without an allocation into an enumeration area because of problems in administrative data. Istat has studied a procedure integrating deterministic and probabilistic approaches for assigning the enumeration area to those critical units. An experimental study is carried out to evaluate the quality of the imputation procedure. In this paper, we discuss the approach adopted, the evaluation process, the results obtained and the impact on the quality of the data and the spatial analyses that can be carried out.

    Beschreibung: Guarantorism and other philosophical-legal currents at the beginning of the century marked processes of legal innovation to the extent that they began processes of legal implementation, copying of models that worked in other legal systems and mergers, adaptations, articulations, among other possibilities of creation in the law. Two decades later, this type of legal creation and innovation has been exacerbated by the incorporation of technology in the law, in the way in which the law is interpreted, in the new problems that arise, and also in changes in the way of conceiving and relating to the world.

    Beschreibung: The covid-19 pandemic have an impact on the social and personal lives of individuals, leading them to develop new forms of adaptation and response to crisis situations. From this perspective, religious coping theory highlights the possibility of coping with stressful situations in ways related to the sacred. The proposed work is part of the studies on Temporal Perspective (PT) in its relationship with religiosity, The aim of contribute is to investigate the relation between religiosity, the use of religion as a coping tool, anxiety for the times to come, and the prospect of the transcendental future in the period of the pandemic Covid-19. According to this, we administered a survey on sample of subjects of the Neapolitan Protestant Christian population of the Evangelical Churches of the Assemblies of God in Italy (A.D.I.). So, we carried out a multidimensional analysis to discover the relationships between the variables analyzed.

    Chapter How Italians coped with COVID-19 lockdown: evidence from a survey promoted through social networks (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-05
    Beschreibung: During the first wave of the pandemic, a quantitative study was implemented through an online survey on the SEBCOV study in five countries: Italy, Slovenia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. Its objective consisted of investigating the social, ethical, and behavioral aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, we focus on the analysis of Italian data coming from a survey promoted through social networks and carried out through two different sampling designs. The two samples present sociodemographic characteristics different from each other and from the whole Italian population, thus producing distorted results without the use of weights. Sample weights have been created through post-stratification and raking. The study participants were adults who had given their informed consent, who resided in Italy and who were able to use a computer or smartphone. Even before the first government decree-law, almost half of the Italian population had already changed their behaviour in order to protect themselves and limit the spreading of the virus. Among them, around 10% moved to a different house looking for company during the lockdown period. Indeed, one of the most worrying aspects was the limitation of social interactions together with mental health, with some differences between age classes and gender. Almost all respondents declared that they had spent the lockdown period connecting with other people through the social network that had a fundamental role in this challenging period, for all age classes. The strong influence of Internet on everyday life during this period helped to keep people close but also encouraged the spreading of fake news, indeed almost all respondents received fake news on different topics. Despite all the problems faced by the Italian population during the quarantine period, hope messages are still present in the final optional open-ended question that provides non-structured but precious qualitative information.

    Chapter A Natural Language Processing approach to measure expertise in the Delphi-based scenarios (2023)

    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: The Delphi-based scenarios (DBS) development implies the assumption of different choices, through the gathering of information and the assessment of alternative resolutions (Panpatte and Takale, 2019). During the last decades, the spread of environmental hazards has increased quickly, much to request different responses in order to develop a sustainable future for humanity planning the present (McMichael and Lindgren, 2011). Since the DBS is a creative process (Nowack et al., 2011), different figures are selected to make choices, including academics, stakeholders and citizens. However, one of the main challenges remains the measurement of expertise, in fact, during the process, the experts should be assessed based on their competences in order to avoid any conflict in the final results and, eventually, weigh their answers. In recent years, some contributions adopted the self-assessments for the experts’ evaluation (Sossa et al., 2019), but many issues still remain (such as strong subjectivity and cognitive biases which produce over or underestimation). We develop a new method to estimate the expertise by using Natural Language Processing to acquire information, extracting the contributions of experts in each topic. First, starting from a draft list of selected experts, we identify the category of reference (e.g., academia, industry, local authority, citizens etc.). We build a data repository with the personal pages (URLs) of each expert to then use Python to extract from the URLs, the number of contributions related to a keyword, different for each category (e.g., publications for academics, reports and projects for stakeholders etc.). Finally, we proceed adopting a coefficient of production with a weighted sum of the results. To practically demonstrate our approach, we applied this method to a cohort of known experts, part of the “Smart control of the climate resilience” (SCORE) H2020 European project to estimate their expertise in specific areas.

    Beschreibung: This book is the partial result of a research project called "Female electoral candidacies transformed into marketing products and fake news against female candidates: a comparative analysis between Brazil, Colombia and Mexico". The growing female participation in decision making in Latin America invites us to read with more patience and caution the phenomenon of the emergence of a type of feminization of politics. Two countries with trajectories marked by political scandals and corruption, such as Brazil and Mexico, show that if it was difficult for women to become protagonists as political subjects - note the feminist movements of the 70s, 80s and 90s and the recent achievements in terms of public policies for the protection of women - it is not very difficult to understand the difficulty that these women faced and still face to become protagonists in the political scenario of their countries, i.e. political actors. Therefore, this book reveals only some aspects of the political path that these women must face on a daily basis in order to gain access to spaces of power.

Dos países con trayectorias marcadas en escándalos y corrupciones políticas como lo son Brasil y México evidencian que si a las mujeres les fue dificultado el camino para su protagonismo como sujeta política, nótese los movimientos feministas de los años 70, 80 y 90 y las recientes conquistas en términos de políticas públicas de protección a las mujeres, no es muy difícil de comprender la dificultad que esas mujeres enfrentaron y enfrentan para tornarse protagonistas del escenario político de sus países, es decir, actoras políticas. Por lo tanto, este libro revela solamente algunos aspectos del camino político al que esas mujeres deben enfrentarse cotidianamente para acceder a los espacios de poder.

    Beschreibung: Violence - as distinct from power - always seeks instruments for its existence. for its existence. Hobbes' old phrase is interesting to guide our to guide our reflections in the contemporary world: "Covenants without coercive coercive measures, they are nothing but words". After the Second World War World War II was not followed by a period of peace, but by the Cold War and the establishment of a military-military complex. and the establishment of a military-industrial complex (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) in the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte stated that historical events happen twice in the course of history. historical events take place twice in history: once as a tragedy and the tragedy and the second as farce. It is precisely on this second phase or repetition of historical events that this book is about. The The idea of trying to make an approach to reality studies of the 21st century with respect to the aesthetics of violence, understanding this aesthetics as the presentation of this particular as the presentation of this particular violence of contemporaneity, with its facilitating instruments, its with its facilitating instruments, with its discourses and its practices that make possible the naturalization of a policy that castrates rights. Does this aesthetics of violence in our contemporaneity behave in a similar way to the aesthetics of historical processes? similar to the aesthetics of previous historical processes? Bastide (2006) when analyzing aesthetics, argues that society shapes the reaction to it, and from the reaction to it, and in the same way here society shapes the practices of violence, especially practices of violence, especially when we analyze violence and its relation to gender issues. and its relationship to gender issues.

    Beschreibung: La violencia – distinta del poder – busca siempre instrumentos para su existencia. La vieja frase de Hobbes es interesante para guiar nuestras reflexiones en la contemporaneidad: “Pactos sin las medidas coercitivas, no son más que palabras”. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial no se siguió un período de paz, sino que la Guerra Fría y el establecimiento de un complejo-militar-industrial (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) en el 18 Brumario de Luis Bonaparte afirmaba que los acontecimientos históricos se pasan dos veces en la Historia: una como tragedia y la segunda como farsa. Es precisamente sobre esa segunda fase o repetición de los acontecimientos históricos que se trata este libro. La idea de intentar hacer una aproximación a los estudios de la realidad del siglo XXI en respecto a la estética de la violencia, entendiendo esa estética como la presentación de esa violencia particular de la contemporaneidad con sus instrumentos facilitadores, con sus discursos y sus prácticas que posibilitan la naturalización de una política castradora de derechos. ¿Esta estética de la violencia en nuestra contemporaneidad se porta de manera similar a la estética de procesos históricos anteriores? Bastide (2006) cuando analiza la estética argumenta que la sociedad moldea la reacción frente a ella, y de igual forma aquí la sociedad moldea las prácticas de la violencia, sobre todo cuando analizamos la violencia y su relación con las cuestiones de género. La violencia de género es practicada igualmente por la sociedad.

    Chapter Cultural and sensorial correlates of Trebbiano wine consumption (2023)

    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: In this paper we highlight the sensorial and cultural correlates of the consumption of Trebbiano wine produced in the Abruzzo region, Italy. The data have been collected through a questionnaire survey on a sample of 48 adults. The sample was conveniently selected among the participants at a scientific meeting held in Pescara in September 2018. The survey was part of a complex sensorial experiment concerning the preference of this white wine with respect to a series of other regional white wines. The collected data on Trebbiano wine consumption have been analysed through a path analytic regression model in which consumption was the criterion variable, while cultural and sensorial variables, on the one hand, and wine expertise and drinking habits, on the other, were the variables mediating the respondents’ disposition towards this type of wine. The analysis showed that two thirds of the respondents frequently or occasionally used to consume the topical wine. The frequency of consumption was strictly influenced by the relevance the respondents conferred to this wine when put in competition with other wines during an outdoor dinner. The consumers who particularly appreciated it were wine experts (sommeliers, wine course attendants, wine producers) and other wine consumers able to recognise the intrinsic characteristics of a wine thanks to the sensorial skills (for smell and aroma evaluation) they developed through long experience and specific learning.

    Chapter Access to emergency care services and inequalities in living standards: Some evidence from two Italian northern regions (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press | ASA 2022 Data-Driven Decision Making
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: Rapid access to emergency medical care is crucial in reducing the implications of negative health events in terms of both mortality and disability. Thus, in a well-designed health system the geographical distribution of emergency care services should be able to minimize the share of people whose access time lies beyond critical thresholds. In spite of this, statistical information measuring accessibility to emergency care services at a highly disaggregated level is unavailable in Italy. This paper makes a step in filling this gap, by providing geographically detailed estimates of accessibility in two northern regions, Liguria and Lombardia. To do so, we use three data sources: 1) georeferenced population data measured at the currently most possible detailed level (census enumeration areas, CEAs) from the 2011 Population Census; 2) open data on location of emergency care services; 3) crowdsourced data on road travel distances. Elaborating these data with an efficient algorithm based on open source routing machine provides us with a clear mapping of particularly disadvantaged areas. We find that in 2013 the population share whose access time to emergency care services lies beyond a critical –and policy relevant- threshold of 60 minutes is fairly limited (about 0.1% in both regions). Regional differences emerge when setting lower thresholds. We briefly discuss how accessibility may have evolved in recent years, based upon some conjecture on population dynamics at the CEA level and updated information on emergency care centers. Finally, we analyze how differences in accessibility are related to a set of characteristics describing the population’s living conditions. Different results emerge. In particular, older and less educated people in Liguria face significantly lower access to emergency care. Overall, our results suggest that spatial differences in accessibility -within and between regions- should be considered a relevant determinant of health inequality.

    Chapter A paradata-driven statistical approach to improve fieldwork monitoring: the case of the Non-Profit Institutions census (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: A complex process requires relevant information on the crucial nodes of the process itself to make more effective decisions. This is the case for large complex surveys where among the several causes of wrong or inappropriate interviewers’ behaviors only the crucial ones have to be identified and corrected to avoid a knock-on effect. An example of such a survey is the Non-Profit Institutions Census (NPIC), for which fieldwork monitoring is improved using a paradata-driven approach based on the use of quality control tools. The complexity of NPIC is not only due to the large amount of units it involves but also to the great variety of unit-typologies: from large and structured institutions to very small associations. Complexity depends also on the different data collection modes and on the wide variety of communication channels. Besides, two questionnaires with different research aims – to assess the quality of statistical registers (short questionnaire) and to collect information (long questionnaire) – contribute to boosting complexity. The use of computer-assisted survey instruments offers the opportunity to automatically record paradata, making it possible to apply statistical procedures that allow for near real-time monitoring. To this end, a set of performance indicators is defined to assess the adequacy and observance of the survey protocols and to uncover any problematic situations that need to be addressed quickly. Once indicators are defined, control charts can be used to display them. Control charts help balance cost and thoroughness of monitoring activities by using statistical principles to differentiate potentially problematic cases from those that vary naturally around a process average. In this way, survey managers can make targeted interventions, without spending time exploring false alarms. The work will describe the experience made with the NPIC and how it can be applied to other Censuses or to any other interviewer-based survey.

    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-08
    Beschreibung: How did individual and social aspects influence depression feelings during the pandemic? In this paper, we analyse the data collected through a survey conducted in the second half of 2021 among a convenience sample of Italian adults. The survey was aimed at highlighting how Italians experienced the pandemic and the way they perceived their future. A total of 556 Italians answered the CAWI survey. The analyses of the collected data show that, while having been infected by the virus or having had a family member infected by it did not influence the depression level, other individual characteristics and subjective feelings did. In particular, being female, younger, having had low trust in information delivered by television, no experiences of smart working or remote learning, little support from friends and family, and being unable to imagine the future increased the likelihood to feel higher levels of depression. Being able to imagine the future mediated the relationships of age and smart working or remote learning experiences with depression. The results indicate that, having a lower ability to imagine the future, younger people and individuals who did not work or study remotely have also a greater tendency to feel depressed.

    Beschreibung: The present work leads us to a broad reflection on the most vulnerable populations that afflict Colombian society; that is why today we dedicate this research to them in order to debate and question the actions of state authorities regarding the fulfillment of fundamental rights that so far have remained in a perpetual constitutional transgression, which has led to the declarations of unconstitutional states of affairs -ECI- and yet these have not been sufficient for the satisfaction and solution of their problems. It is with the above that we refer to the name of this book, because from the evident non-compliance of the structural failures generated from the declaration of an ECI, we postulate the importance of restructuring it with new measures, proposing the new unconstitutional state of affairs -NECI- and thus ending the prolonged transgression that has been occurring on a massive scale against fundamental rights.

    Beschreibung: La presente obra nos conduce a una amplia reflexión frente a las poblaciones más vulnerables que aquejan la sociedad colombiana; es por esto que hoy les dedicamos esta investigación con el fin de poner en debate y tela de juicio las actuaciones de las autoridades estatales respecto al cumplimiento de los derechos fundamentales que hasta el momento se han quedado en una perpetua transgresión constitucional, lo cual ha llevado a las declaratorias de estados de cosas inconstitucionales-ECI- y que sin embargo estos no han sido suficientes para la satisfacción y solución de sus problemas. Es con lo anterior que referimos el nombre de este libro, pues a partir del evidente incumplimiento de los fallos estructurales generados a partir de la declaratoria de un ECI, postulamos la importancia de la reestructuración de este con nuevas medidas, planteando el nuevo estado de cosas inconstitucional –NECI- y así terminar con la prolongada transgresión que se ha venido presentando de forma masiva frente a los derechos fundamentales.

    Chapter Professional choices and personal values: Similarities and differences between Schein’s career anchors and Schwartz basic values (2023)

    Beschreibung: Consistency between personal values and career choices is essential to achieve job satisfaction and to attain positive career outcomes and self-realization. Schwartz and Bilsky (1987) propose ten basic values, measured through the Portrait Value Questionnaire, related to the universal needs of existence: self-direction, stimulation, hedonism, power, achievement, security, conformity, tradition, universalism, and benevolence. These values are organized in a circular shape, according to their similarities and dissimilarities and following the contraposition between openness to change and conservation, and between self-enhancement and self-transcendence. Focusing on professional goals and aspirations, Schein’s Career Orientation Inventory (1990) identifies eight anchors that drive employees’ career paths and orientations: general managerial competence, technical/functional competence, autonomy/independence, security/stability, entrepreneurial creativity, dedication to a cause, pure challenge, life-style. Schein affirms that a career anchor is “that one element in a person self-concept, which he or she will not give up even in the face of difficult choices” (1990). In this paper, we aim at understanding the mutual relationship between the paradigms proposed by Schwartz and Schein, in order to enlighten how personal motivations inform career preferences and choices. We administered the Portrait Value Questionnaire and the Career Orientation Inventory scales to a sample of 253 respondents who work in different fields and positions, through a survey questionnaire. Results show a high level of consistency between Schwartz’s and Schein’s theoretical frames. Those who are more oriented to the openness to change dimension tend to favour careers of autonomy and entrepreneurial creativity, while a conservative motivation leads to more safe and stable careers; analogously, personal values of self-enhancement support challenging careers while self-transcendence pushes for dedication to a cause and work-life balance.

    Chapter Repression of the future-oriented disposition of Italians by a never-ending pandemic (2023)

    Beschreibung: Likely, the after-pandemic world won’t be as it used. To properly imagine and build our future, we should forget the progressive growth of past times and even the concept of “normality” of pre-pandemic years is going to change inasmuch as a new social concept is coming true ("surprise free" scenarios are no longer contemplated). The disposition of Italians towards their future was surveyed with three indicators: 1) the depression rate as measured with PHQ9, a standard psychological test for clinical depression measurement; 2) the pro-activeness orientation, as measured with an 8-item psychological test; and 3) the clearness rate of own future vision, as measured with a focused, dichotomous question. The indicators have been measured through a convenience sample on Italian adults during the second half of 2021. The analysis showed that the fear of contagion and the never-ending emergency due to Covid-19 pandemic caused such a psychological awkwardness to repress the disposition of Italians towards their possible futures. The repression was harder on youngsters, living alone persons, disrupted families, and people with psychic and/or depressive symptoms. A regressive model was furtherly fit on the collected sample. It showed multiple determinants of the future repression, say, that the fear of contagion was more relevant than the contagion itself and the uncertainty about the pandemic end was as disheartening as the contagion risk for the yearning hope of a positive after-pandemic lifestyle.
