The article discusses several issues related to finance from different countries of the world. It is conceded by all financiers that the monetary condition in Europe is abnormal; the scramble for gold is acute and universal. Nations with good credit, alike with nations whose currency is on a paper basis, join in the efforts to get gold and to hoard it. London, England is the money clearing-house for the commercial world, and London, watching the battle now going on among Continental nations, has been carefully guarding her metal treasure. All knots come to the comb, and the Giolitti comb has got entangled in a number at the same time. Ever since the forced circulation of paper money, the banks of issue, especially the Tuscan and the Roman, have had their troubles, which have been from time to time staved off. There are two distinct parties in Italy on banking questions, the one advocating a single bank, the other that all banks are allowed to issue notes on their own account and responsibility.

Founded in 1959, the Italian Society of Parasitology (SoIPa) includes nearly 200 researchers and professionals in the fields of medicine, veterinary medicine, biotechnology, epidemiology and environmental sciences. The diversity of its members, in a historical and continuous collaboration with other international scientific societies, embodies a broad and multidisciplinary field such as parasitology. Since 1959, SoIPa has organized a biennial congress, covering all aspects of general parasitology with participants from all over Italy, Europe and beyond, involved in a dynamic and multi-faceted scientific framework of contributions and symposia. The present Special Issue (SI) contains 6 review papers and 1 research article, focussed on emerging topics presented and discussed during some of the symposia organized within the XXXII SoIPa Congress, held in Naples from 27th June to 30th June 2022. These review papers reflect several emerging subjects (i.e. 'Italian network on Neglected Tropical Diseases', 'Wildlife parasites and citizen science', 'Comparing approaches to parasitological issues', 'Unusual perspectives on the role of parasites') with the aim to explore the new role that parasitologists can play in the future society, working together to promote dialogue on science-informed decisions to support the so-called 'twin green and digital transition'.

The cause of the grave financial crisis in Italy is, bad political economy, for a nation which receives more gold than it spends, should grow richer and be lending instead of borrowing, and its paper should be as good as gold or as Bank of England notes. The history of the present crisis is that of the financial, and to a certain extent the political, economy of Italy since 1870. The first mistake of the Government was in not making the resumption of specie payments obligatory at a certain date, and holding the banks to it. The second mistake was in allowing the banks to issue the paper money, instead of making it an issue of the Government.

A law passed by the Italian Chambers on the Both of April, 1874, "to regulate the paper circulation during the suspension of specie payments," made it the duty of the Ministers of Finance and Commerce to present a report upon the forced currency and upon the best measures to be adopted for its extinction. Specie payments were suspended in Italy on the 1st of May 1806. The immediate occasion was the war by Prussia against Austria, in which Italy took part as the ally of Prussia, but the remoter causes are to be traced to the political revolution in Italy, by which its different sections were united under the Sardinian crown.

Freedom of the press was guaranteed in Italy by the constitution of 1848. However, on July 15, 1923, dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy passed a decree under which the prefect of a province may wane a newspaper to change its attitude. The paper says that by means of false or tendentious news may hamper the diplomatic action of the Italian government in its foreign relations, or damage the national credit at home or abroad, or arouse baseless alarm among the people, or incite to any breach of the peace. If the paper is warned twice in one year the prefect may forbid the editor to continue in office, even if there has never been a conviction against him and may refuse to authorize any new editor.

Purpose: The introduction in Italy in July 2021 of the "COVID-19 Green Certification", known as the "Green Pass", was a particularly important moment in the political and social history of the country. While its use for health reasons is debatable both logically and scientifically, its effects should be measured at the general sociological level. The "Green Pass" allowed Italian social life to be shaped according to a social and political profile that can be traced back to a "society of control". This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned issue. Design/methodology/approach: This paper, of a theoretical nature, intends to verify such an interpretation through a critical survey of Gilles Deleuze's well-known Post-scriptum sur les sociétés de contrôle (1990) and relating the theories to it from cybernetic science, sociology of social systems and the continental philosophy, specifically Michel Foucault. After a short introduction on the history of the instrument's introduction, the paper, divided into parts reflecting the set-up of Deleuze's text, examines the systemic social effects of the "Green Pass" with regard to its logic, and concludes with a reflection on the program of the instrument's future developments. Findings: The "Green Pass" put into practice a model of a society of control as anticipated by Deleuze, verified with particular reference to some instances of Luhmann's theory of social systems, and in the perspective of a Foucault's "normalizing society" in the process of definition and affirmation. Social implications: The "Green Pass" has been a controversial tool that has caused forms of social discrimination and exclusion and has seriously questioned the architecture of the rule of law. The conceptual paper tries to reflect on the premises and implications of this instrument. Originality/value: The approach to the problem both in a critical key and according to concepts and theories of the sociology of social systems, cybernetics and continental philosophy.

This article presents a discussion by Signor M. Ferraris, Italian Senator and former Minister of the Crown, of the Italian exchange situation that was printed by the "Anglo-Italian Review." The rates of exchange on foreign countries and the mercantile freights are the two most serious problems of the present moment. They are chiefly responsible for the high prices now obtaining, and for the economic and social unrest among the peoples. A high, unfavorable exchange is the surest index of the unsatisfactory general conditions of any country, such as external danger of complications leading to war, internal instability of order and social peace, and adverse balances in Government and local budgets.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate contemporary changes in the education system. In particular, an analysis of the mechanisms of coordination and communication involved in the process can show how different geographical factors with different relational mechanisms may contribute to the creation of a new academic entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The authors propose a methodology with two-step approach. In the first part of the paper, they use a theoretical approach to carry out a longitudinal study of academic literature on the topics of "entrepreneurial university," "academic entrepreneurship" and "spin-off organizations." In the second part, they use cross-database analysis to theorize the main aspects of recent developments in higher education in Italy. To this end, the authors use three public and open-access databases on spin-offs, universities and higher education institutions and incubators in Italy. Findings: First, issues relating to the formation and best practices of entrepreneurial universities are discussed, based on the works of researchers from 25 countries. Second, a hypothesis is put forward to suggest that the organizational model of entrepreneurial university affects microeconomic competitiveness. Third, a case study of Italian spin-off organizations suggests that the number of incubators and spin-offs, and the type of academic knowledge, all directly affect the entrepreneurial university. Originality/value: This paper aims to examine the role of the university in the modern economic system. The originality of this investigation lies in its ability to offer a picture and first analysis of the main actors and of the entrepreneurial university system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Explicit model predictive control (EMPC) maps offline the control laws as a set of regions as a function of bounded uncertain parameters using multi-parametric programming. Then, in online mode, it seeks the best solution within these areas. Unfortunately, the offline solution can be computationally demanding because the number of regions can grow exponentially. Thus, this paper presents the application of a deep neural network (DNN) to learn the EMPC's regions for a photovoltaic-based charging station. The main uncertain parameters in this study are the forecast error of photovoltaic power production and the battery's state of charge. Additionally, the connection or disconnection of an electric vehicle is considered a disruption. The final controller creates the regions at the start of each prediction time or when a disruption occurs, only using the previously created DNN. The obtained solution is validated using data from an e-vehicle charging station installed at the University of Trieste, Italy. • Uncertainties like EV consumption affect the performance of optimization techniques. • EMPC creates offline critical regions that are a function of uncertain parameters. • The dimensionality of the problem can be untractable and time-consuming with EMPC. • DNN can be trained to create critical regions in a reduced computation time.
