Technical standardization and the evolution of business and economy in the contemporary age Autori: gianpiero fumi; fabio lavista Abstract: Il numero monografico comprende articoli di Luca Andreoni, Malin Dahlström, Igor Goñi-Mendizabal, Francesca Sanna e Dirk Wiegand. Essi affrontano da diversi profili il ruolo della standardizzazione nell’economia contemporanea e il suo sviluppo storico. I mercati moderni si basano su un complesso sistema di regole, specifiche tecniche e linee guida elaborate da numerose organizzazioni ed esperti. Sebbene spesso volontari e in gran parte invisibili agli utenti finali, gli standard regolano le caratteristiche dei prodotti, i processi produttivi, i requisiti di sicurezza e la qualità, contribuendo così a strutturare l’attività economica e il coordinamento dei mercati. Dalla fine del XIX-inizio del XX secolo, l’industrializzazione, il cambiamento tecnologico e l’espansione del commercio internazionale hanno portato alla creazione di organismi di standardizzazione nazionali e internazionali e alla rapida proliferazione di norme tecniche formali. Abstract: This special issue, featuring articles by Luca Andreoni, Malin Dahlström, Igor Goñi-Mendizabal, Francesca Sanna, Dirk Wiegand, addresses the role of standardization in the contemporary economy and its historical development. Modern markets rely on a complex system of rules, technical specifications, and guidelines produced by numerous organizations and experts. Although often voluntary and largely invisible to final users, standards regulate product features, production processes, safety requirements, and quality, thereby structuring economic activity and market coordination. From the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries onward, industrialization, technological change, and the expansion of international trade led to the creation of national and international standardization bodies and to the rapid proliferation of formal technical norms. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/332096 Titolo: Bridging Theoretical Linguistics and Automated Language Processing: Emerging Synergies and Advances Autori: Lenci Alessandro; Tamburini Fabio; Passarotti Marco; Sprugnoli Rachele Abstract: In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has gone through a radical breakthrough due to the success of Large Language Models (LLMs). These models have demonstrated that an unsupervised inductive approach, based on processing large amounts of raw data, can achieve extraordinary accuracy rates in many NLP-related tasks. This progress seems to have reduced the role of theoretical linguistics in computational approaches to linguistic analysis. For instance, metalinguistic annotation, a central element in supervised learning, which traditionally relies on established linguistic theories, has lost its core place in developing trained models for different NLP tasks. In this context, a closer dialogue between theoretical and computational linguistics becomes essential to integrate theoretical and practical perspectives, bridging the gap between these two approaches to language study. This is particularly important for both the practical implementation of linguistic theories in computational models and the theoretical interpretation of results produced by NLP systems. This special issue of the Italian Journal of Computational Linguistics aims to bridge this gap by exploring the emerging synergies between theoretical linguistics and computational linguistics and the implications these have for the future of the two approaches. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/330457 Titolo: L'assicurabilità dei rischi da cambiamento climatico Autori: Caterina Benini Abstract: La sezione monografica raccoglie gli scritti del seminario “L’assicurabilità dei rischi da cambiamento climatico: prospettive e analisi interdisciplinari”, svoltosi il 12 maggio 2025 a Milano nell’ambito delle attività della Facoltà di Giurisprudenza e dell’Istituto di Studi Internazionali dell’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/328317 Titolo: I discorsi d’odio, la violenza e le risposte dell’educazione. Riflessioni epistemologiche, ricerche empiriche ed esperienze di contrasto Autori: Giorgio Crescenza; Stefano Pasta; Elena Zizioli Abstract: The contribution focuses on hate speech and manifestations of violence, highlighting the urgency of adequate pedagogical and educational responses in a complex and unpredictable social context. From this perspective, the authors analyse how hatred and violence, also spread through digital platforms and with onlife manifestations, affect not only society, but also school environments, making educational responses essential. These responses must include the promotion of a new language and different forms of communication. It is the school that plays a key role in setting up a space for inclusion and dialogue. Despite punitive measures, it is necessary to support preventive actions to educate to respect and value differences. Ultimately, it highlights the need for a pedagogy of encounter, based on languages and practices capable of opposing the spread of hate, in a time when the boundaries between online and offline are increasingly blurred.
