The proposed paper will use data gathered during the initial phase of an anthropological fieldwork research in a mining area affected by economic collapse and deindustrialization. The locality lies in the middle of the mountains visible from where the present conference is being held. The paper will reflect on differentiated politicized forms of nostalgia (both in Herzfeld’s sense and not) and the structural conditions for the emergence of specific arrangements of contentious relationships between capital and labour. Italian Alps have notoriously been interested by crippling depopulation patterns during the 20th century. The province of Trento has shown a partly contrasting tendency to this general logic. A centuries-old focus on the administration of a territory centred around mountains compelled institutions to the creation and protection of industries through policies that developed since the 1950s. This induced attraction of capital and creation of heavy infrastructures even in the furthest valleys most prone to isolation and emigration. These, in turn, required workers, creating the possibility for the inhabitants of these valleys to offset the emigration outflows already underway. One of the larger and longer-lasting industries of the region developed in the mining of porphyry stone It grew from commons with community-based rights of use to a hierarchy of enterprises that exported half of the extracted material in global markets, managing to provide up to 20% of global porphyry stone production. Various industrial periods have been characterized by different modes of workforce inclusion processes. Natives, internal migrants from southern Italy and more recent international ones experienced what Glick Schiller and Çaglar call differently structured ways of emplacement. Differentiated structures of opportunities in which those pathways of inclusion have been rendered possible, also meant different modalities of conflict in the relationship between capital and l

Lo studio delle domande dicotomiche usate per controllare la veridicità o falsità di ipotesi è un tema a cavallo tra la psicologia cognitiva e la statistica, con formalizzazioni matematiche anche complesse, che possono scoraggiare il lettore interessato ma esterno a quelle discipline. In questo modo si perde di vista l’utilità pratica degli importanti risultati che quell’area di studi ha conseguito per chi più li troverebbe più utili: chi le domande di controllo di ipotesi le deve fare per professione, come magistrati, investigatori, avvocati, ma anche medici e politici. In questo articolo adotto un livello di formalismo minimo, ma sufficiente a cogliere i principali risultati di questi studi, a fini pratici. Dopo aver fornito le coordinate per classificare le diverse tipologie di domande, se ne descrivono le proprietà logiche e i possibili trabocchetti psicologici in cui possono indurre, formulando alcuni suggerimenti su come evitarli., Research on dichotomic questions for testing hypotheses is a mature field of study jointly pursued by cognitive psychology and statistics. Currently, it encompasses highly sophisticated mathematical formalizations, which can disincentive readers that have an interest in the topic, but do not have an expertise in those disciplines. Consequently, most of the practical usefulness of hypothesis-testing studies is not conveyed to people who more than everyone else could capitalize on their findings, including everyday professionals of hypothesis-testing: judges, detectives, lawyers, but also medics and politicians. In this paper I use the minimal possible amount of formalism, strictly limited to what is necessary to grasp the main findings of practical import. After setting the basic coordinates for classifying and recognizing the different typologies of hypothesis-testing questions, the paper describes their logical properties and the psychological biases that they can cause, with some advice on how to avoid them.

Il passaggio all’insegnamento e all’apprendimento a distanza d’emergenza dovuto alla pandemia Covid-19 ha esasperato numerose vulnerabilità e disuguaglianze preesistenti nei sistemi educativi. Questo documento di posizione illustra nuove esigenze e opportunità per l’ulteriore sviluppo della formazione degli insegnanti e dell’organizzazione scolastica in seguito all’attuale crisi sanitaria. Concepito durante i lavori della Summer School SIREF 2020, esso costituisce il risultato di una ricerca collettiva interdisciplinare che incorpora prospettive dalla didattica generale, dalla media education e dalla pedagogia speciale. A partire dall’approfondimento delle molteplici disparità che interferiscono con la partecipazione orientata all’equità prospettata dall’Agenda 2030, il documento sostiene l’urgenza, da parte dei sistemi scolastici e dei docenti, di accettare nuove sfide in formazione, organizzazione di ambienti inclusivi e ampliamento dei programmi di studio verso la promozione di capacità sociali, digitali e critiche di tipo collettivo., The switch towards emergency distance teaching and learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic has magnified numerous preexisting vulnerabilities and inequalities within the educational systems. This position paper disentangles new needs and opportunities for a further development of teacher education and school organization after the present health crisis. It was conceived during the SIREF Summer School 2020 and represents the result of a collective interdisciplinary inquiry, incorporating perspectives from general didactics, media education and special education. Starting from the deepening of multiple disparities which interfere with the equal participation envisioned by the Agenda 2030, the paper highlights the urgency for school systems and teachers to accept new challenges of training, providing inclusive environments and expanding curricula towards the promotion of collective social, digital and critical capabilities.

La riflessione sulla formazione degli insegnanti fu, nei primi due decenni del Novecento, particolarmente accesa e vide la partecipazione vivace e significativa di una pluralità di attori. Anche Maria Montessori partecipò attivamente a questo dibattito e l’incontro con la Società Umanitaria a Milano e in particolare con Augusto Osimo si rivelò molto fecondo su questi temi. Uno specchio fedele e interessante di questo rapporto e delle molteplici riflessioni e iniziative che ne scaturirono è costituito dalla rivista specialistica La Coltura Popolare, che, da un lato, si fece promotrice della propagazione del metodo montessoriano, dall’altro offrì uno spazio di dialogo e di confronto di tutte le voci più innovative e vivificanti della riflessione pedagogica del tempo. Il paper propone una prima e parziale ricostruzione del significativo ruolo che La Coltura Popolare, svolse, negli anni 1911-1922, nel sollecitare l’attenzione del suo pubblico sul problema della formazione degli insegnanti, nel diffondere il metodo montessoriano, nello stimolare un confronto non fazioso e preconcetto fra differenti approcci, sperimentazioni e sguardi sull’infanzia., In the first two decades of the Twentieth Century, reflections on teacher training were particularly rich, implying the lively and significant participation of a plurality of actors. Even Maria Montessori actively participated in this debate and the meeting with the Humanitarian Society in Milan, and with Augusto Osimo primarily, proved to be very fruitful on these issues. The specialist magazine La Coltura Popolare represents a faithful and interesting mirror of this relationship and of the many reflections and initiatives arose from it, promoting the propagation of the Montessori method and offering at the same time a space for dialogue and comparison of all the most innovative and vivifying voices of the pedagogical reflection of the time. This paper proposes a first and partial reconstruction of the significant role that La Coltura Popolare played, from 1911 to 1922, in soliciting the attention of its public on the topic of teacher training, in spreading the Montessori method, in stimulating a not biased and preconceived comparison between different approaches, experiments and views on childhood.

Background: The majority of currently available cognitive screening tools show low to moderate ecological validity, limiting their capability to detect real-life impairments. Virtual Reality (VR) technology emerged as a possible solution as it can simulate everyday tasks maintaining a standard setting in almost any possible situation [1]. Objective: The project aims to achieve incremental evidence toward the feasibility of using 360° photos and videos in the neuropsychological assessment and to create a screening test for a valid and reliable clinical application. Methods: We are developing a screening test (The 360° Mental Screening - MS-360°) that, instead of using model-based environments as scenarios, employs 360° photos and videos to generate an innovative, highly immersive VR environments. This media can simulate real-life situations in a more photorealistic fashion, providing ecological stimuli and recording meaningful behavioral measures [2]. The MS-360° uses videos recorded with an omnidirectional camera as virtual environments, which can be administered wirelessly using a portable head-mounted display and a 5GHz Wi-Fi network. The test includes fourteen different scenarios: in each of these, the participant is asked to perform some ecological tasks aimed to elicit specific cognitive functions. We quantify the accuracy in each specific task as a measure of outcome. We are studying two groups at the current stage: patients reporting subjective cognitive impairment and healthy controls matched for age and education. We analyze differences and correlations between the score obtained at the MS-360° test and scores obtained in other established paper-and-pencil screening tests [3]. Results: Data collection is in due course. We expect to find correlations between our test and the paper-and-pencil screening tools. Finally, we expect that the MS-360° will be able to distinguish patients’ and control’s performances. Conclusions: VR is emerging as a valid tool to des

This paper addresses the current state of Italian higher education. On the one hand, the Covid-19 emergency revealed some vulnerabilities in Italian universities while, on the other hand, it enhanced their resiliency: in a short time, most of them were able to ensure the continuity of teaching activities, replacing face-to-face experiences with online ones. Teaching is one of the main aims of higher education, but it is often taken for granted and undervalued, while research activities receive far more attention. The pandemic had the advantage of bringing teaching activities back to the center of attention. It became fundamental to redesign teaching activities using distance learning methods even if stakeholders (including university lecturers) were not prepared to do so. Indeed, in addition to the difficulties of accepting and using information technologies, lecturers faced the challenge of planning and designing new forms of teaching that would ensure students’ attendance and guarantee their level of learning. In the beginning, distance learning represented an emergency "solution" introduced in response to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Its implementation required a significant investment in digital skills, including the learning of new software and the procurement of adequate supporting hardware. Generally, a crisis like the one we are currently facing leads us to deeply reflect on our future and on lessons learned that might give value to the emergency. Now the question is whether, in the aftermath of the health emergency, the outcomes of this digital investment can become an integral part of our educational offer and the new teaching strategies can endure. This paper reflects on the experience of the University of Milan Bicocca, discussing the outcomes of a survey administered to university lecturers using the CAWI methodology. The survey was distributed to the lecturers’ institutional email addresses through the Qualtrics web platform. It is part of

The paper proposes a reflection on the relationship between the emerging Energy Communities (EC) and their potential commoning approaches considering energy production and distribution as urban commons. This means reflecting on the EC potential for democratisation and paying attention to the participatory dimension of citizens in a citizen science perspective. It also means questioning the governance of the urban commons to understand whether the implementation of new models can guarantee social justice and inclusion along with the production and distribution of energy. The authors analyse three different examples of EC adopting the framework of the City as a Commons, as an approach able to support communities in a collaborative transition towards a smart and just city in which the energy dimension can also be rethought in terms of citizen science. In the analysis, the features of what has been defined as a commons-oriented community science emerge and the paper closes with some reflections on the difficulties but also on possible policy recommendations for policy makers interested in enhancing the dissemination of EC according to commoning and co-governance approaches.

Il presente contributo intende proporre alcune riflessioni teoriche riguardo alla possibilità di utilizzare la ricerca nell’ambito del patrimonio scolastico-educativo nella formazione dei futuri insegnanti al fine di promuovere maggiori consapevolezze sul ruolo professionale, sulla dimensione istituzionale della professione, sull’intreccio fra contesto, processi di costruzione e di trasmissione delle conoscenze. La partecipazione, da parte dei futuri insegnanti, a ricerche sul patrimonio storico-educativo di realtà locali rivela, infatti, un notevole potenziale euristico sia nell’accostarsi a specifici contenuti sia nell’accostarsi alla molteplicità dei reperti e delle fonti. La riflessione sulla non neutralità di questi ultimi, sui processi di costruzione, di trasmissione, di conservazione degli stessi, può contribuire ad una formazione più raffinata del profilo professionale di chi insegna, suscitando considerazioni complesse sull’intreccio fra le differenti dimensioni delle istituzioni educative e scolastiche. Il contributo intende riflettere anche sulle prospettive più recenti di digitalizzazione delle fonti e dei materiali archivistici come passaggio ricco di potenzialità e di interrogativi stimolanti, in un momento storico in cui il profilo professionale dell’insegnante è stato ridefinito in maniera articolata e innovativa a livello nazionale e internazionale e in cui la diffusione delle nuove tecnologie ci richiede un atteggiamento di apertura e contaminazione., This paper proposes some theoretical reflections on the possibility of using research in the field of educational heritage in the training of teachers, to promote greater awareness on the professional role, on the institutional dimension of the profession, on the processes of construction and transmission of knowledge. The participation in researches on the historical-educational heritage reveals in fact a considerable heuristic potential, because it allows to approach specific contents and a multiplicity of sources and finds: the teachers can reflect on the characteristic of the sources and on the processes of transmission and conservation of the finds and they can acquire a more refined and complete training and they can understand the intertwining between the different dimensions of educational institutions. The paper then also reflects on the most recent prospects of digitalization of sources and archival materials: is a passage rich in potential and stimulating questions in this historical moment, because the teacher’s professional profile has been redefined in an articulated and innovative way at national and international level and the spread of the new technologies requires an attitude of openness and contamination.

Il contributo prende in considerazione alcuni aspetti della didattica, quali il profilo professionale dell’insegnante, la relazione educativa, il ruolo del gruppo dei pari, la progettazione degli spazi, l’accoglimento delle molteplici differenze. Tali aspetti sono stati affrontati con riflessioni significative e feconde anche prima dell’età moderna e lungo tutta la storia della pedagogia, seppure, a volte, in maniera svincolata gli uni dagli altri. Il contributo analizza il problema del ruolo dell’insegnante, inteso come trasmettitore di conoscenze o piuttosto come figura che sa gestire la relazione, e che sa suscita spirito critico: questa tematica sorge fin dall’epoca antica e riemerge in diversi autori successivi. Il paper sottolinea poi come la tematica della relazione educativa si è intrecciata in maniera inscindibile con quella delle metodologie, della motivazione, della disciplina, del gruppo dei pari, così come la progettazione degli spazi è da sempre connessa con l’immagine di infanzia e di scuola che ciascuna epoca ha prodotto., This paper analyzes some aspects of teaching, such as the professional profile of the teacher, the educational relationship, the role of the peer group, the design of spaces, the acceptance of multiple differences. These aspects were addressed with meaningful and fruitful reflections even before the modern age and throughout the history of education, although separately. The paper analyzes the problem of the role of the teacher, intended as a transmitter of knowledge or rather as a figure who knows how to manage the relationship, and who knows arouses critical spirit: this theme arises since ancient times and re-emerges in several later authors. The paper then emphasizes that the theme of the educational relationship is inextricably intertwined with that of methodologies, motivation, discipline, peer group; It also points out that the design of spaces has always been connected with the image of childhood and school that each era has produced

This paper examines an often-forgotten medical essay written by the Italian physician Giuseppe Pasta (1742–1823) in 1792 that first underlined the importance of the psychic and emotional components in a doctor-patient relationship. This paper analyzes the contents of the essay “Del coraggio nelle malattie” (“On Courage in Disease”) by Pasta, highlighting the innovative aspects of the work and contextualizing them to the historical period in which the text was written. In his essay, Pasta states that he is unable to explain the effects of the soul (or spirit) on the human body. He considers courage to be the most noble, powerful and imperative emotion in people who are sick. In his opinion, doctors should instil courage in their patients, thereby counteracting negative feelings that could reduce courage. If patients in a desperate state of health have enough confidence in their doctor, it can also increase their courage. Some illnesses can only be cured with words; therefore, a good doctor should spend as much time with their patients as is necessary to create in them – through verbal and non-verbal means – positive reactions and courage in dealing with their state. In conclusion, the work of Giuseppe Pasta may be one of the first texts that has analyzed the psychic and emotional components in the doctor-patient relationship.

A partire da una riflessione sulla prospettiva della sostenibilità e delle sue declinazioni strategiche nelle agende internazionali, anche alla luce del contemporaneo scenario disegnato dall’emergenza COVID-19, il presente articolo propone una lettura del ruolo in esse assunto dall’educazione. Facendo riferimento al dibattito intorno al ruolo della ricerca scientifica per affrontare le sfide dello sviluppo sostenibile, l’articolo andrà argomentando il contributo che la ricerca educativa può offrire alla prospettiva della sostenibilità non pensandosi quale strumento al servizio delle politiche sulla sostenibilità, quanto come risorsa politica per pensare criticamente la sostenibilità., Moving from a reflection on sustainability and its strategic declinations in international agendas, also in consideration of the contemporary scenario shaped by the COVID-19 emergency, this paper proposes an analysis of the role education assumes within those strategies. Referring to the debate on the contributions of scientific research in addressing sustainable development’s challenges, the paper will argue that educational research can be considered as a key aspect when it is considered as a political resource to critically think of the dimensions of sustainability

The article presents some of the first results obtained during a qualitative longitudinal research on being young in Italy, begun in 2019, promoted by the Department of Sociology and Social Research of the University of Milano-Bicocca. The paper aims at contributing to the study of the life trajectories of young men and women as they deal with a transition to adulthood that appears suspended, especially in relation to the economic, social and cultural fractures determined by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. By focusing on life experiences and life courses in Italy, the paper analyses how transition is strongly affected by the geographical, cultural, social and economic contexts in which the biographies of the young people interviewed are immersed. Furthemore, the article explores the subjective meanings they ascribe to those contexts. Firstly, the results show that a common feature of the biographies of the young people we encountered is a perception of uncertainty. More specifically, the paper underlines the ambivalent role that geographical context plays in the narrations and biographies of young people. Especially, when it is characterized by scarcity of resources, and therefore, by the impossibility of recognition and realization of personal aspirations. Lastly, the research shows that the sanitary emergency, with the subsequent containment policies, represents a sudden event that amplifies pre-existing conditions, characteristics, and differences, but at the same time, it triggers novel transformations, at a collective as well as individual level.

Nell’ambito del finanziamento a debito, i gruppi possono ricorrere alla garanzia infragruppo per permettere ad un’entità associata di beneficiare di migliori condizioni di credito. Tuttavia, i vantaggi conseguiti dal mutuatario potrebbero non essere diretta conseguenza dello strumento di garanzia, ma essere già in parte nelle disponibilità del debitore in ragione della sua appartenenza al gruppo. Scopo del contribuito é presentare l’analisi di transfer pricing votata a determinare l’effettiva prestazione del servizio infragruppo nelle differenti tipologie di garanzia prestata. Il presente contributo é tratto dall’omonima tesi di dottorato., In the context of debt financing, multinational enterprises may use intragroup guarantees to obtain more favourable credit conditions for their associated entities. However, the benefits obtained by the borrower may not be a direct consequence of the guarantee, but they partly depend on the borrower’s group member status. The purpose of the paper is to show the transfer pricing analysis in order to determine the actual provision of the intragroup service in various types of guarantee provided. This paper is taken from the homonym Ph.D. thesis.

Questo paper si prefigge di indentificare le caratteristiche del sistema produttivo del piccolo agricoltore in Kenya, evidenziando le sfide per la transizione sostenibile. L’ipotesi di ricerca si basa sulla letteratura propria della agro-ecology e della Eco-economy, secondo cui il piccolo agricoltore contribuisce direttamente alla food security locale e rappresenta anche un moltiplicatore di pratiche sostenibili. Questo perché il suo agire è place-based, nonché basato sulle conoscenze e le pratiche tradizionali. Il campione della ricerca è composto da 100 piccoli agricoltori dell’area di Gilgil, contea di Nakuru County, in Kenya. La ricerca ha coinvolto un team di partner internazionali, è stata sponsorizzata dal MIUR e contribuisce al dibattito sulla transizione sostenibile dei sistemi agro-alimentari., This paper identifies the features of Kenyan small-scale farmers and their production systems, highlighting the challenges of sustainability transition. Drawing on the agro-ecology and eco-economy literature, the research hypothesis is that Kenyan farmers can play a role of paramount importance in stimulating place-based sustainability practices, and assure food security outcomes, because farming occurs following indigenous, place-based tradition and knowledge. 100 small farmers in the sub-county of Gilgil in Nakuru County, Kenya have been surveyed and profiled. The survey was sponsored by MIUR (Italian Ministry of University and Research). The research aimed to contribute to the debates on the sustainability of food systems.

The number of multicultural and ethnic festivals held in immigration countries has greatly increased in recent decades. There are multiple, complex reasons for this, ranging from it being an innovative economic strategy used by many formerly Fordist cities in the West to «creatively» renew their urban identity - by staging so-called mega-events designed to promote tourism - to policies of safeguarding cultural difference in order to build non-conflictual «multicultural societies». In recent years, various disciplines have begun to investigate the growing spread of multicultural festivals: above all tourism sciences, human geography and management. Yet sociology, and the sociology of intercultural relations in particular, has not yet devoted much attention to the rise and characteristics of such events, despite the fact that multicultural festivals can be viewed as public rituals and cultural institutions, where culture is produced and circulated, also in terms of representations of ethno-cultural diversity. My paper aims to highlight the need to examine so-called multicultural events from the intercultural relations perspective. My point is that the study of these festivals may represent a fruitful opportunity to shed light on contemporary intercultural dynamics, going beyond the simplistic vision of such events as a form of cultural commodification and reproduction of «ethnic» authenticity. My paper focuses on the generative effects of multicultural festivals, going beyond the staged celebration of cultural diversity and inviting readers to look at the social actors involved (in the role of organizers, performers and visitors) and their social practices before, during and after the events themselves.

The relationship between power, technology and organizing is a longstanding theme in organization studies, typically articulated along two polarized positions: a pessimistic and an optimistic one. Both positions assume a deterministic view in which technology “impacts” society and organizations, thus missing the intricate and often ambiguous dynamics that surround power and technology. Accordingly, this Special Issue focuses on the intricacies of power, digital technologies and organizational processes. Presenting the rationale of the papers that compose the Special Issue, we suggest five themes arising when empirically and theoretically approaching these intricacies: 1) digital technologies and power relationships in organizational structure and processes; 2) relationships between technology, power and workers’ participation; 3) digital technologies, algorithmic control and power renegotiation; 4) digital technologies, practices of human resources management and the joint design of technology, work, and organization; 5) hyper-industrialization as a critical lens to approach technology, work, and organizing. Taken all together, the papers help overcoming simplifications as well as polarized representations of the relationship between power, digital technologies and organizing.

L’art. 13 del decreto-legge n. 113/2018 stabiliva che il permesso di soggiorno per richiesta asilo non costituiva titolo per l’iscrizione anagrafica. La giurisprudenza si era divisa sul senso della disposizione: alcuni giudici negavano che si trattasse di un divieto di iscrizione nei registri anagrafici, mentre altri ritenevano che la norma non potesse che essere intesa in tal senso. Con la sentenza n. 186 del 2020, la Corte costituzionale ha chiarito che la disposizione poneva effettivamente un divieto e ne ha dichiarato l’illegittimità in quanto irragionevole e discriminatoria. L’articolo ricostruisce i diversi approcci interpretativi e pone in luce come l’opzione seguita dalla Corte sia la più convincente; sottolinea inoltre la centralità della “pari dignità sociale” nella motivazione della Corte, che riconosce l’esistenza di un vero e proprio diritto all’iscrizione anagrafica. Da ultimo, si richiama il contenuto delle nuove norme che il decreto-legge n. 130/2020 ha introdotto nel solco dei principi enunciati dalla Corte costituzionale., Article 13 of Decree-Law n. 113/2018 stated that residence permit for asylum seekers didn’t grant civil registration. The meaning of the provision proved to be controversial: some judges claimed that it prohibited civil registration, while others denied it. The decision n. 186/2020 of the Constitutional Court clarified that the provision established a prohibition and declared it unconstitutional on the grounds that it was unreasonable and discriminatory. The paper analyzes both interpretations of the law and highlights that the Constitutional Court’s interpretation is the most convincing. It also underlines the key role of the “equal social dignity” in the Court’s reasoning and the recognition of an actual right to civil registration. Finally, the paper describes the new rules introduced by Decree-Law n. 130/2020 according to the principles established by the Constitutional Court.

In the last twenty years there has been a series of criticisms of the use of Fisher's significance tests and of the Neyman and Pearson test theory. In particular, the p-value that has become a powerful decision tool in affirming the presence of an effect has been criticized. The supremacy of the p-value is mainly due to the attribution of meanings and powers that it does not have, both for its operational simplicity and for the complicity of much of the literature. The paper considers the major criticisms of significance coming from methodological and applied researchers (such as statisticians, psychologists, neurologists and clinicians) and also coming from internationally recognized journals. Naturally, the literature is not limited to criticism and gradually proposes alternative methods to deal with the problems of hypothesis testing; one of these is the Bayesian method that is recently proposed not as an alternative but in sharing with the p-value and other inferential tools. It is precisely this aspect that is explored in the paper, since it is considered not only interesting in itself, but also a possible bridge between the classical and the Bayesian inference school. The paper also includes a stringent methodological appendix, which may help in understanding some definitions and examples.

This paper presents an innovative approach to social housing management in the Dutch social housing sector. This approach is based on a novel idea of social mix which brings to-gether young Dutch and asylum seekers who manage all housing-related services by them-selves. This paper presents and discusses limits and potential of this approach for social in-clusion in the context of broader shifts in the social housing sphere and related challenges for social housing organisations and tenants.

In this paper we frame the problem of obtaining estimates from the sur- vey on the employment status of graduates in Italy as a Small Area Estimation problem because of unit nonresponse. We propose to use generalized linear mixed models and to include two variables that can be considered proxies of the response propensity among the set of covariates to make the MAR assumption more tenable. Estimates for degree programmes are obtained as (semi-parametric) empirical best predictions.

Special issue of the Journal "Phenomenology and Mind" collecting papers originating from the San Raffaele School of Philosophy “The True, the Valid, the Normative”, organized by the Faculty of Philosophy of the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele in collaboration with the research centres PERSONA (Research Centre in Phenomenology and Sciences of the Person), CeSEP (Centro Studi di Etica e Politica), and CISEPS (Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Economics, Psychology and Social Sciences), which took place at Palazzo Arese Borromeo in Cesano Maderno on September 20th to 22nd, 2022.

Dopo aver confrontato una serie di applicazioni di intelligenza artificiale (IA) utilizzate da enti impositori di vari Stati, l’analisi si sofferma sull’adeguatezza del quadro normativo esistente e sulle proposte di riforma. Da un lato, l’IA accresce l’efficienza amministrativa identificando tempestivamente situazioni anomale e sgravando i funzionari da attività ripetitive. Dall’altro, pone però questioni di legalità dell’imposizione, trasparenza ed equità. L’utilizzo a fini istruttori o accertativi dei più avanzati algoritmi di auto-apprendimento può dare risultati accurati, ma difficili da interpretare, violando l’obbligo di motivazione degli atti impositivi e, dunque, il diritto di difesa dei contribuenti. Inoltre, poiché gli algoritmi di autoapprendimento procedono sulla base di esempi, potrebbero perpetuare modelli storici di discriminazione, a causa di errori o pregiudizi insiti nei dati o nell’addestramento. Riguardo all’attività di consulenza giuridica delle amministrazioni, gli assistenti virtuali alimentati dall’IA sono in grado di rispondere ai più svariati quesiti dei contribuenti, ma mancano chiare statuizioni normative sulla tutela del legittimo affidamento in caso di revirement. Con l’approssimarsi dell’approvazione del Regolamento UE sull’IA, si commenta criticamente l’attuale formulazione della proposta, poiché esonera le autorità fiscali e doganali dall’obbligo di rispettare requisiti di qualità elevata dei dati, trasparenza, sorveglianza umana, precisione e robustezza., After comparing a sample of artificial intelligence (AI) applications used by the different Countries' revenue bodies, this paper questions the adequacy of the existing and proposed regulatory frameworks. While AI enhances efficiency by identifying abnormal behavior and reducing repetitive tasks, it also raises issues related to legality, transparency and fairness. Automating tax audits with the most up-to-date machine learning tools may yield accurate results that are however difficult to interpret and validate, thereby undermining the administrative duty to state reasons and taxpayers' right to defense. Moreover, since self-learning algorithms learn from the past, AI can perpetuate historical patterns of discrimination due to biased data or training. Regarding the early-compliance phase of tax procedures, AI-powered virtual assistants can advise taxpayers on countless doubts, without stating clear boundaries and rights: therefore, the users might not be aware of the non-binding nature of advice and be audited contrary to favorable responses. With the approaching of the approval of the EU Regulation on AI, challenging the proposal’s current wording, this study advocates for a robust regulatory framework to strike a fair balance between administrative efficiency and taxpayers' rights.

Questo contributo pone attenzione alla posizione rilevante che gli archivi possono avere e attualmente, in molti casi, già hanno, nella catena di costruzione della conoscenza, in particolare dal punto di vista della mediazione e della partecipazione. Mettere in relazione diretta pedagogia ed economia impone un chiaro posizionamento culturale e civile. Se pensiamo agli archivi come a una delle fonti dirette della conoscenza, rendere accessibili i patrimoni contenuti, vuol dire permettere il diritto per tutti alla cultura, all’elaborazione di teorie suffragate dalle fonti, come pure allo sviluppo di percorsi di ricerca, personali e collettivi., This paper examines the key role that archives can play and currently, in many cases, already do play, in the knowledge construction process, especially in relation to mediation and participation. Drawing a direct link between pedagogy and economics necessarily implies taking a clear cultural and civic stance. If we view archives as one of the direct sources of knowledge, giving access to the heritage they contain means extending to all the right to enjoy culture, to construct theories that are supported by the sources, and to develop personal and collective trajectories of inquiry.

This paper is aimed at investigating the clinical properties of the Italian Battery for ADHD (BIA) in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) markers and evaluating the cognitive processes involved in these developmental disorders. The participants were: 133 with typical development (TD), 41 children with ADHD-traits, 14 with ODD-traits and 15 with SLD-traits. All participants were assessed using the BIA tests and other non-executive tests in order to control for executive and non-executive components. Results showed that BIA is effective to discriminate between the ADHD and TD group, in particular as regarding four specific tests assessing inhibitory control and sustained attention: Ranette, Auditory Attention, Numeric Stroop (errors) and CP (omissions). On the other hand, children with ODD performed more poorly than TD on MF and CP supporting the presence of impulsivity and visual search deficit in this group of children, while the SLD did not show any significant impairment. Results have been discussed in terms of the capacity of the BIA to distinguish children with ADHD, ODD or SLD.

In recent years, the secondary market for sukuk has been booming with growth rates ranging between 10-12%. In this paper we intend to analyze the structure of investment certificates that comply with the rules and economic principles of the Shari'ah. The markedly legal aspects of this instrument are therefore highlighted, first outlining the general structuring of Islamic certificates, and secondly, analyzing the operational profiles of the different types of sukuk most widespread on the Shari'ah compliant market. Finally, the guidelines issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions on the subject are examined and the essential features of difference between the sukuk and conventional bonds are analyzed from a comparative point of view. The finale highlights the unexpressed potential of sukuk, recalling the best strategies for expanding Islamic investments. The primary objective is to raise the awareness of the relevant financial authorities, which appear disinterested in the Islamic financial market despite the resilience of this segment even during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Lo scritto, tratto da un parere pro veritate, prende in considerazione la posizione degli animali con particolare riferimento al modificato art. 9 della Costituzione. Il terzo comma, ultimo periodo, dell’art. 9 Cost., introdotto dalla legge costituzionale n. 1 del 2022, là dove dispone che «La legge dello Stato disciplina i modi e le forme di tutela degli animali», non contiene una norma sulla distribuzione del potere normativo né tra fonti primarie e secondarie, né tra legge statale e legge regionale. Si tratta, invece, di una disposizione che indica al legislatore statale la direzione da percorrere, senza con questo escludere che i legislatori regionali o gli organi della pubblica amministrazione seguano la medesima direzione. In questo senso, si può dire che la nuova disposizione costituzionale non contiene altro che un pressante invito – il verbo all’indicativo è come sempre da intendere in senso prescrittivo – specificamente rivolto al legislatore statale a dare concreta attuazione a un nuovo principio fondamentale – il principio animalista – oggi contenuto nel testo della Costituzione, e quindi dotato della forza del diritto positivo di rango più elevato., The paper, based on a pro-veritate legal opinion, considers the position of animals with particular reference to the amended Article 9 of the Constitution. The third paragraph, last period, of the said Article, as introduced by Constitutional Law No. 1 of 2022, where it states that “The law of the State regulates the ways and forms of protection of animals”, does not contain a rule on the assignment of normative power neither between primary and secondary sources, nor between state law and regional law. Instead, it is a provision that indicates to the national legislature the direction to follow, without this excluding that both regional legislators and other public authorities follow the same direction. In this sense, it can be said that the new constitutional provision contains nothing but a pressing invitation – the indicative verb is as always to be understood in a prescriptive sense – specifically directed to the national legislature to give concrete implementation to a new fundamental principle – the animalist principle – today contained in the text of the Constitution, and therefore endowed with the force of the highest-ranking positive law.

This paper attempts, first of all, to demonstrate the absence of a normative basis for the principle of selfsufficiency and its exclusively jurisprudential origin. It, then addresses the inconveniences produced by the uneven application declinations of the concept of self-sufficiency with respect to the objective and subjective guarantees that should inform the criminal process. Highlighting the sacrifice of the right of access to the judge, as also defined by recent European jurisprudence, and the formal legality of the criminal process, it notes the illegitimate deflective use of self-sufficiency and its true nature as mere formalism that overwhelms procedural forms. Il finally addresses the probable effects that the novelties of the socalled Cartabia reform, and especially the (future) digitization of criminal trial documents, might have on the principle analyzed.

IntroductionA new national survey has been carried out by the Italian Centers for Cognitive Disorders and Dementias (CCDDs). The aim of this new national survey is to provide a comprehensive description of the characteristics, organizational aspects of the CCDDs, and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA list of all national CCDDs was requested from the delegates of each Italian region. The online questionnaire is divided in two main sections: a profile section, containing information on location and accessibility, and a data collection form covering organization, services, treatments, activities, and any service interruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.ResultsIn total, 511 out of 534 (96%) facilities completed the profile section, while 450 out of 534 (84%) CCDDs also completed the data collection form. Almost half of the CCDDs (55.1%) operated for 3 or fewer days a week. About one-third of the facilities had at least two professional figures among neurologists, geriatricians and psychiatrists. In 2020, only a third of facilities were open all the time, but in 2021, two-thirds of the facilities were open.ConclusionThis paper provides an update on the current status of CCDDs in Italy, which still shows considerable heterogeneity. The survey revealed a modest improvement in the functioning of CCDDs, although substantial efforts are still required to ensure the diagnosis and care of patients with dementia.

This paper sheds light on syn-exhumation, pervasive cataclastic processes occurred on competent serpentinites of a metaophiolitic sub-unit of the Voltri Massif. The reported data highlight the importance of the compositional and structural heterogeneities within the ophiolite-bearing exhumation channels, since the observed pervasive cataclastic processes affected only the more competent rock bodies of the metaophiolitic unit, giving origin to a serpentinite breccia, named as Acquasanta Breccia. This breccia is cemented by random-oriented chrysotile fibers that give rise to a very uncommon microstructure, as highlighted by optical microscopy, Micro-Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS and TEM investigations. The Acquasanta Breccia underwent a sequence of syn-exhumation tectonic events, accompanied by the onset of different generations and types of chrysotile, which occur both in veins and in the rock matrix. The breccia records the intermediate and late stages of the exhumation of the Voltri meta-ophiolites, which occurred after the development of the retrograde greenschist-facies foliation and before the late shallower faulting events.

Il paper intende valorizzare l’apporto della prospettiva sociomateriale nei percorsi di consulenza pedago-gica a scuola, sia enucleandone i presupposti teorici e metodologici di fondo, sia facendo riferimento a ti-tolo esemplificativo ad alcune pratiche consulenziali. Il paradigma sociomateriale consente di focalizzare lo sguardo sulla materialità dell’educazione, riconoscendone il ruolo attivo nelle pratiche educative e formati-ve. Tematizzare la materialità in azione a scuola, nel percorso consulenziale, permette di osservare da una diversa angolatura l’accadere educativo, restituendo una complessità spesso sfuggente e fornendo strumenti interpretativi per leggerla, pensarla e affrontarla. In quest’ottica, la prospettiva sociomateriale, specialmente se impiegata in combinazione con altri approcci, offre l’opportunità di considerare significato e materialità in un quadro d’insieme, costruendo una cornice epistemologica in grado di intercettare la complessità del fare scuola.

La sentenza n. 38162/2022 delle Sezioni Unite della Corte di cassazione ha confermato l’impossibilità di riconoscimento del vincolo di filiazione tra il minore, nato all’estero da gestazione per altri, e il genitore intenzionale. Il presente contributo si concentra sul profilo dell’adozione nei casi particolari, ritenuto dalla Corte lo strumento di tutela dei diritti del minore, mettendo in luce i punti critici dell’impianto argomentativo dei giudici e fornendo possibili soluzioni., Judgment No 38162 of 2022 by the Joint Civil Divisions of the Supreme Court of Cassation confirmed the impossibility of the recognition of the filial relationship between a child, born abroad by surrogacy, and an intended parent. The present paper examines the profile of adoption under special circumstances as a means of protecting the child’s rights, exposing the critical points of the judges’ reasoning and providing possible solutions.

L’articolo sostiene che un’applicazione più efficace dell’articolo XXIV del GATT, attraverso una rivalutazione del TM e del ruolo svolto dal Comitato per gli accordi regionali e da quello su commercio e sviluppo potrebbe migliorare l’interazione tra il sistema multilaterale e i sistemi preferenziali di integrazione regionale, conducendo ad un nuovo ruolo per l’Organizzazione mondiale del commercio. A tal fine propone un nuovo modello di interrelazione tra i livelli multilaterale e preferenziali del commercio internazionale, basato sulla modifica e il miglioramento delle procedure esistenti e, sotto il profilo sostanziale, sull’evoluzione dei contenuti e della natura del processo di esame degli accordi da parte dei Membri dell’Organizzazione in sede di comitato., The paper maintains that a more effective application of GATT Article XXIV, through a reappraisal of the TM and of the role of both the Committee of Regional Trade Agreements and the Committee on Trade and Development, could improve the interaction between the multilateral and the regional/preferential layers of trade regulations and lead to a new role for the WTO. To this end, the article proposes a new model of interrelation between the multilateral and the bilateral/regional levels of trade regulation, based on procedural improvements and on a substantial evolution of the scope and nature of the ‘consideration’ of RTAs among WTO members.

The paper explores the Constitutional Reform project aiming to introduce direct election of the Italian Prime Minister. The author begins by describing the evolution of this parliamentary form of government then attempts to draw possible insights from the practice of direct election of the Regional President which regions have been experiencing for the last two decades.

While the current debate highlights an increasing deficit of civic engagement, new — and often less visible — forms of “participation” are beginning to be detected, such as those implemented by citizens with migratory background living at the physical and symbolic margins of Western towns. Our study, part of the project “Abitare insieme” (Living together) in Milan’s multicultural suburbs (Italy), was developed with a dual purpose: to analyze the relationship between citizens with a migratory background, active citizenship, and their place representations/belongings; to experiment the co-construction of innovative spaces of speech for citizens, through their dialogical involvement in the research. In a framework of participatory research to enhance reflexivity and transformative practices, a survey was designed and administered. In this paper we will discuss the survey results, along with some methodological implication. The aim is to contribute to reinvent the “active citizenship” construct from a transformative, pedagogical, and intercultural perspective.

We present this paper as a broad group of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) active in various disciplines of the Geosciences in the Italian Academia (from palaeontology to underwater geomorphology and climate sciences). We offer some shared points of view on the Italian Academia and specifically on the Geosciences. We highlight the current precarious conditions of non-permanent workers within the Italian Academic system, so as to highlight the situation of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in the Geosciences, and their general lack of perspective towards a permanent form of employment. Ultimately, this precariousness is one of the main obstacles impacting upon the quality of research. We tackle this aspect by analysing both the persisting gender gap and some perspectives on the future of the precarious figures currently working inside the Italian Academic system. We believe that the modern academic structure is generally unwelcoming to ECRs, to the detriment of high-quality research. Possible solutions, such as changing the current recruitment system, should include a better stabilisation mechanism for ECRs, which would also be essential to gaining a safe work-life balance.

The importance of youth participation is underlined by international policies, which widely stress youth’s fundamental role in developing more just and sustainable societies. At the same time, dis-affection from the more traditional democratic processes is registered by young people, who instead seem to be looking for forms of expression of a different nature. This paper aims to question the forms of participation of young people, offering to consider them as resources for the broader society within the perspective of public pedagogy (Biesta, 2012), suggesting that the institutions let themselves be informed by what is happening.

Scholars and practitioners have long been debating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing. Academics have also studied the correlation between ESG and corporate financial performance, as well as whether investment managers should factor corporate ESG policies and activities in their portfolio investment strategies. However, the typical approach followed so far sees ESG as data enrichment in analysing performance of the target for investment selection. This article elaborates on the recently developed financial/ESG sustainable growth matrix Bellandi (2022, 2023) to show its use by management for more comprehensive growth strategy decisions. The joint reading of ESG strategies and financial policies provides a company with a new pair of lenses for strategic analysis, and investors with a new dimension and tool for stock picking and diagnostics of growth forecasts of the target. Conversely, this paper does not focus on the relationship between ESG and corporate financial performance.

Nell’ambito del progetto MUSA - Multilayered Urban Sustainability Action, l’articolo presenta una ricerca multidisciplinare orientata a comprendere come poter rendere lo spazio pubblico del Distretto Bicocca di Milano un luogo di partecipazione e un contesto di apprendimento continuo sui temi della sostenibilità ambientale, economica e sociale. Il paper restituisce una mappa del processo di ricerca per esplicitare i passaggi metodologici che lo hanno contraddistinto in modo da poterli rendere trasferibili e replicabili in percorsi di ricerca simili per contenuto, obiettivo, condizioni e risorse di partenza. Oltre alle attenzioni metodologiche, l’articolo condivide i primi risultati emergenti dalla literature review sul rapporto tra territorio, partecipazione, documentazione e sostenibilità.

Il presente contributo è dedicato alla responsabilità medica da inadempimento dell’obbligo di informazione. Obbligo che impone al medico di illustrare rischi, alternative e vantaggi del trattamento, per attuare l’autodeterminazione terapeutica. L’analisi mira alla individuazione della natura giuridica della responsabilità, a prescindere da medical malpractice o danno alla salute. Ciononostante, si evidenziano ancora riflessi del pregresso rapporto di interdipendenza tra danno alla salute e danno all’autodeterminazione terapeutica, specie nell’onere probatorio e nei criteri di liquidazione dei danni., This paper is devoted to medical liability for breach of the duty to inform. The obligation provides the duty to inform on the consequences, risks, alternatives, and advantages of the medical treatment, for the implementation of the fundamental right to self-determination. The analysis aims to identify the legal nature of liability, relevant even in the absence of a medical malpractice or health impairment. However, there are still residues of the intersection between health and self-determination, especially in the onus probandi and in the criteria for the compensation.

Il contributo presenta il progetto di studio e ricerca “Arti e periferie”, promosso dal Dipartimento di Scienze Umane per la Formazione “R. Massa” (Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca), volto a mettere in rete esperienze artistiche e performative realizzate in spazi pubblici urbani contemporanei. Nello specifico, il progetto ha inteso attraversare e valorizzare esperienze collocate fuori dalle rotte urbane abituali, per guardare alle potenzialità insite nei linguaggi artistici e performativi, come strumenti in grado di favorire la connessione tra luoghi e persone, di tessere legami e relazioni anche in contesti considerati periferici e marginali. È l’occasione artistica che ha rappresentato in simili ambiti l’innesco trasformativo, incentivando inedite connessioni culturali e di appartenenza. Pedagogicamente, si sono valorizzate le diverse testimonianze culturali come occasioni di apprendimento permanente, ponendo attenzione ai micro-processi trasformativi che declinano l’arte nel senso di un rinnovamento generativo del rapporto soggetto-contesto., The paper presents the study and research project “Arti e Periferie”, promoted by the Department of Human Sciences for Education “R. Massa” (University of Milano-Bicocca), aimed at networking different art and performance experiences with one another, that occurred in public, contemporary, urban spaces. Specifically, the project crosses and enhances experiences located outside the usual urban routes, in order to look at the intrinsic potential of artistic and performative languages to interweave places and people and to connect them with each other, and to develop ties even in contexts considered as peripheral and marginal. In such contexts, it is the artistic occasion that can play as transformative trigger, stimulating innovative connections with local frameworks of sociality and cultural contexts. Pedagogically, the different cultural witnessings confirmed how artistic languages can be opportunities for lifelong learning, generating attention on the transformative micro-processes that decline art as a generative renewal relationship between the subject and her or his context.

In the era of digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as an essential tool in the educational realm, with growing relevance for university students. This paper investigates the application of AI in the educational context, focusing on a case study among young adults (20-24 years old), outlining how AI can enrich the learning and research process. The work particularly concentrates on two key aspects: the use of AI as an assistive data mining tool and the application of AI in generative research processes and critical comparison

With reference to Italy's relations with the European Union, the paper analyses the positions and initiatives of the government of the Republic that took office at the beginning of the 19th legislative period. The issues of immigration, the signing of the ESM, the Russian-Ukrainian war, energy and environmental policy and the management of the resources of the Next Generation EU have been addressed by Giorgia Meloni's government in accordance with a precise ideological and identity line: this approach must be understood in terms of the objectives it pursues and the effects it produces in relations with the other states of the Union.

The aim of the paper is to promote a reflection about the challenges that researchers face today as they go through the territory of educational research, which is characterized by its peculiar charac- teristics. To attain this objective, the article will proceed to elaborate on the intricate nature of knowl- edge creation in empirical research in education, wherein the researcher can be regarded as the primary research instrument. Reflective thinking will be presented as a fundamental epistemic posture to accompany professionals in research. In this sense, a specific dissertation will be proposed about the importance that researchers can develop a complex reflexivity as a fundamental epistemic posture to face contemporary challenges.

The adoption of digital media within the domestic environment has led to an increasing contribution to scholarship in the field of pedagogy, family, and media studies concerned with the use of digital technology by contemporary parents, as both a tool for self-expression and informal learning, and as a milieu where to question or reinforce narratives about what it means to be a parent. In this paper we focus on the analysis of three different Italian paternal platforms: a website from a dad and professional family mediator, a blog by a father from a heterosexual family, the social media account of two gay fathers. Building on findings from a discourse analysis, we seek to understand the pedagogical and informal learning potential of these different digital milieus and their contents, here intended as cultural objects, with respect to how and in what terms they contribute to the social and discursive construction of fatherhood.
