INTRODUCTION: To date, there has been little agreement on circadian variation in sports performance. It seems that both chronotype and
habitual training time-of-day (HTT) need to be considered when assessing diurnal variation in performance [1]. Therefore, the aim of this
study was to evaluate if chronotype and HTT may influence the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) after two different intensity trials performed in three times of day.
METHODS: The chronotype of participants (N56: age 23.8±2.1 yrs, BMI 22.1±2.0 kg/m2, V’O2max 40.1±9.1 ml/kg/min) was assessed using
the Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) [2] and their maximal oxygen uptake (V’O2max) was determined via direct gas analysis
(Fitmate-Pro, Cosmed, Italy) on a cycle ergometer (LC6, Monark, Sweden) using a submaximal exercise-based protocol. Subjects’ HTT was
objectively evaluated using an activity monitor (Lifecorder Plus, Kenz, Japan) worn for one week. Participants performed two 6-minute
bouts of exercise on cycle ergometer at 60% and 90% of V’O2max at 8.30am (morning trial, MT), at 1.00pm (afternoon trial, AT) and at
5.30pm (evening trial, ET) in a randomised order. Training sessions were interspersed by 48 hours. After each session, participants reported
their RPE (CR10) [3]. RESULTS: Distributions of chronotype and HTT were 27% of Morning-types (M-type), 59% of Neither-types (N-type) and 14% of Eveningtypes (E-type) and 21% of subjects trained in the morning, 55% in the afternoon and 23% in the evening, respectively. When the RPE of all
the subjects were examined as a whole, there was no difference between the MT, the AT and the ET (60% V’O2max MT: 3.0±1.5, AT:
2.9±1.4, ET: 2.8±1.5; 90% V’O2max MT: 7.3±2.4, AT: 7.1±2.4, ET: 7.0±2.3). No time-by-group interaction effect on RPE was observed when
participants were grouped by chronotype (60% V’O2max p=0.2931; 90% V’O2max p=0.7653) or HTT (60% V’O2max p=0.9370; 90%
V’O2max p=0.9862). However, M-type reported lower RPE scores post MT and E-type post ET both at moderate (60% V’O2max Mtype_MT: 2.6±1.1, AT: 3.3±1.7, ET: 3.1±1.5; E-type_ MT: 3.3±2.0, AT: 2.7±0.9, ET: 2.6±1.8) and vigorous (90% V’O2max M-type_MT:
6.8±2.7, AT: 7.3±2.8, ET: 7.4±2.1; E-type_ MT: 7.4±2.2, AT: 7.0±1.9, ET: 6.4±2.5) exercise intensity. Interestingly, the same trend was not
observed for RPE and HTT.
CONCLUSION: In contrast to previous study findings [1], neither chronotype nor HTT have significantly influenced diurnal variation in RPE.
Nevertheless, the lowest RPE scores found post MT for M-type and post ET for E-type, regardless of their HTT, seem to suggest that only
chronotype might influence RPE. Future research needs to confirm this hypothesis

In response to an increasingly ageing world population, the World Health Organization has recently proposed a new framework – called Healthy Ageing – to better cater to older adults’ life needs and desires. This framework calls for transdisciplinary approaches to answer the challenges and opportunities posed by an ageing society. Following this framework, it is argued that the first step to accomplishing the goals of Healthy Ageing is to address the existing biases and stereotypes in the language used for addressing ageing issues. In this paper, we propose a series of linguistic guidelines that can help improve the lexicon used to talk about ageing in design research and practice, by countering many subconscious ageist biases and stereotypes. Ageism, especially in its implicit form, is a pervasive negative force that can affect not only design practitioners and researchers but also older adults, who often use ageist language to describe themselves. The proposed guidelines would also help the “false friends” of ageing people, who may be using apparently innocuous words, terminology, and remarks to refer to ageing, without perhaps realising the underlying ageist attitudes and stereotypes hidden in their used language. Overall, we aim to foster a change in design researchers’ and practitioners’ perspective on ageing, by paving the way for a transdisciplinary discourse on designing for ageing, which could then be further expanded and explored to eliminate ageism in design.

Settore M-PED/02 - STORIA DELLA PEDAGOGIA
In Italy, in June 1955 an agreement was signed with the USA, according to which part of the American food surplus would find a suitable form of use in our Country. In the following three years, large quantities of food from overseas were allocated by the International Aid Administration (IAA) to poor children assisted in the school canteens. The paper intends to present how the IAA plan took shape in the late 1950s, studying the educational material used in the Italian primary schools. In addition to reporting on the national situation, an in-depth analysis will be conducted on the experience of the school canteens in Piacenza, a city in northern Italy. The analysis of unpublished document from the City Archive, including school notebooks, filmstrips, brochures and posters, will bring to light how the IAA initiatives were realized at a local level, and, above all, what was the reaction of students and teachers.

This study investigated the neurophysiological correlates underlying the normative judgment of professionals in the legal field and in other professional contexts during the performance of daily work activities with high decision-making impact. A sample of 20 experienced professionals (10 in the legal and 10 in the non-legal field) were asked to fill in a diary of their activities during two different days indicating for each activity the level of intensity perceived in terms of decision-making (from low to high decision-making impact). Meanwhile, their neurophysiological correlates were collected with an electroencephalographic wearable device. Results highlighted a greater activity of delta and theta band in the temporoparietal region during the performance of activities with a high decision-making impact on their jobs. For the legal professionals, compared to others, an increase in theta activity in the temporo-parietal region and alpha in the antero-frontal region was found, suggesting greater involvement of emotional and attentional processes during activities involving moral and normative judgment. This evidence could be considered as the first neurophysiological markers of the decision-making and reasoning process of the legal operators involved in the legal processes.

At organizational level, it is of paramount importance to grasp the micro-foundation of individual drivers
of sustainable behavior, which takes place when collective interest prevails over individual one. Although is
it known that employees’ involvement and engagement at work play a crucial role at promoting prosocial
organizational outcomes and actions that may benefit the organization, the present study aims to analyze
the psychometric properties of a new metric specifically designed to assess employees’ motives behind the
orientation towards the organizational common good. Such new metric (O-CGP) has been adapted for the
organizational context based on the Common Good Provision scale (CGP, Castiglioni et al., 2019). Both
exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were undertaken to validate and improve the scale. The final
scale, which consists of eight items, contains two dimensions as the original one: Accessibility (i.e., making
the common good accessible to anyone in the company and fulfilling employee’s basic needs) and Personal
Gain (i.e., getting a return and personal advantage in exchange for one’s contribution). The psychometric
properties of the scale are further explored in relation to other organizational constructs.

Introduction A proliferation of nicotine use in the sport environment has been observed in recent years mainly as smokeless tobacco
(Zandonai et al., 2013). Nicotine has been listed in World Anti-doping Agency’s Monitoring Program from 2012 to 2015 in order to detect
potential patterns of abuse. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Snus (SS), an oral smokeless tobacco, on the perception
of fatigue during aerobic exercise to TTE. Methods The study was a double-blind placebo controlled (SP) crossover design. Fourteen
healthy male non-smokers were recruited. Subjects were studied during three sessions on cycle-ergometer: experimental session 1 (Exp1)
consisted in an incremental exercise test to determine maximal aerobic power (Wmax); Exp2 and Exp3 consisted in exercise at 65% Wmax until exhaustion in SS or SP conditions. During the Exp2 and Exp3, muscle and cerebral oxygenation by means of NIRS (nearinfrared
spectroscopy) and global rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded. Before and after all experiments, the Profile of Mood
of State questionnaire (POMS) was administered to subjects. Subjects were then tested by means of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
(TMS) to assess changes in cortico-motor excitability due to the prolonged exercise. Results Time to exhaustion (TTE) was not significant
difference (64.4 ± 41.5 min SS; 51.6 ± 17.2 min SP) (19.2%) in paired Student’s t-test. RPE in the first 30 minutes during both of the sessions
showed a significant difference after 10 minutes from start exercise. POMS questionnaire values did not show any significant differences
under both conditions (SS, SP). We found significant differences in the cerebral and muscular tissues oxygenation levels in the first 30
minutes of the exercise during SS and SP tests. In particular, at cerebral level, tissue oxygenation index was significantly larger in SS than
in SP from the 10th to 30th min of exercise. Conclusion The study showed that the SS effect, compared to placebo condition, could not be
an improvement of fatigue during an endurance exercise until exhaustion despite of an increase in tissue muscular and cerebral oxygenation.
These data supported the hypothesis of a major activity induced by nicotine as a central stimulator (Mundel and Jones, 2006).

Modern energy systems are increasingly vital for the delivery of various essential services.
These services include clean water, sanitation, healthcare, reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transportation, and telecommunications.
The adoption of modern energy systems has resulted in notable enhancements in the quality of life for a significant portion of the global population. Typically, an energy system encompasses a complex and comprehensive structure that considers various elements
such as energy production, transformation, transport, and distribution. In recent times, a great importance has been devoted to energy security, which is essential for the well-being associated with energy. Energy security involves two main aspects: longterm investments to align energy supply with economic and environmental needs, and short-term focus on the energy system’s ability to respond swiftly to supply-demand shifts and maintain resilience. Furthermore, it is crucial to establish a strong connection between energy security and climate change mitigation initiatives. Indeed, as highlighted in [9], in order to maximize the effectiveness of their energy policy, nations must integrate considerations of energy security and climate change mitigation priorities concurrently.
Countries should prioritize both to optimize their energy policies’ efficiency,
as referenced in . Energy access also presents a significant issue of inequality, with uneven distribution of energy sources across the globe. This lack of equitable access to energy sources poses challenges for sustainable development (see [13], [14] and [7]).
Several factors drive the evaluation of energy system resilience and guide policymakers towards sustainable policies. These include energy consumption, the transfer of direct and indirect energy resources through international trade, transitioning to renewable energies, and promoting environmental sustainability.
In this context, it is common practice to focus solely on direct energy. However, it is important to recognize that the production of goods and services also involves indirect energy. This indirect energy, also known as embodied energy, refers to the energy consumed during the production of goods and services that is required to create the final product (see [2] and [15]).
The literature extensively examines the concept of energy embodied in international trade ([12], [17] and [18]). Interdependencies between industries within the economy has been initially depicted by Leontief, showcasing how the output of one sector can serve as an input for another sector, as discussed in [10] and [11]. Building upon this foundation, an extended input-output analysis (EEIOA) has been developed to assess
the environmental and social impact of economic activities, including the extraction and depletion of natural resources. This approach has been utilized in studying the interconnected and intricate flows of embodied energy in international trade from a network perspective. Numerous tools have been employed to examine direct energy commodity trade networks and explore the characteristics of embodied energy in trade at global,
national, and regional levels, as seen in [3], [5], [8] and [19]. However, the conventional monoplex network representation used in the literature fails to capture the joint interaction between sectors and countries, as it primarily focuses on either country-level or sector-level analysis. To address this limitation, more recent approaches, such as the one presented in [4], have adopted a multilayer network framework to provide a more
comprehensive understanding of this complex topic.
In this work, we expand upon the approach presented in [4] by considering various types of embodied energy sources and incorporating the temporal evolution of interactions between sectors and countries. Specifically, we focus on analyzing the flow of embodied energy within temporal multilayer networks, differentiated by renewable and non-renewable sources. We build upon existing methodologies outlined in [3] and [4]
by calculating the embodied energy flows for each combination of countries and sectors in each time period, taking into account different energy sources. For a given time and energy source, these flows are used to construct a directed and weighted multilayer network, where sectors/industries serve as nodes and each layer represents the economy/
country. The weighted arcs within each layer reflect the magnitude of directed embodied energy flows between different sectors within the same economy during a specific time period, based on either renewable or non-renewable sources. Similarly, the weighted inter-layer arcs represent directed flows between the same or different sectors
in different countries. By combining the multilayer networks across time periods for the same energy sources (renewable or non-renewable), we can create a temporal multilayer network that captures both the interactions between sectors and countries and their evolution over time, with the aim of identifying critical sectors and economies within the system.

As the community is acutely aware of, there is a need for new a tool capable to describe macroscopic processes while retaining sufficient detail about the microphysics. We propose a tool designed to handle cross-scale processes: CELESTE3D. CELESTE3D is based on fully kinetic ions and electrons and on a implicit formulation of both field solver and particle mover. The code was designed in the early 1990s and adhered to the most advanced software paradigms of the time. Furthermore the code had general geometry and grid adaptation, a feature key to cross-scale problems. However, the use of the code was limited to vector machines (as the CRAYS of those days and the Earth Simulator now). We report the next step in the development of CELESTE: PARSEK. PARSEK is based on the same algorithmic approach as CELESTE but it has a number of new features: 1) The particle mover and field solver are now relativistic; 2) The software infrastructure is completely new, based on a component-based software architecture using a object-oriented language; 3) All components are fully parallelized using MPI. We present the new code, its benchmark tests and some sample applications.

Commitment to environmental causes is emerging as a fundamental driver of consumption choices, especially for the younger generations. However, studies are missing that delve deeper into how young consumers, particularly Millennials and Gen Zers, dialogically frame their favor and support for sustainable brands. In this paper, we explore how young consumers shape their choices for sustainable brands and products in their social media conversations, which represent the most common ground where sustainable commitments are discussed. We conduct an in-depth netnographic investigation that provides a deep cultural understanding of the system of values, meanings, language, stories, images, and priorities that young consumers associate with sustainable choices. Considering that Millennials and Gen Zers are setting as a top priority to limit the consumption of single-use plastics, our study is set into the communities of plastic-free refillable bottles. Our findings visually map and dig deeper into the specific motivations that young consumers prioritize in conversations when they embrace plastic-free brands. In terms of contribution, our study elaborates on the notion of care as the key priority for young consumers.

The exploitation of heterosis is key in modern maize breeding to capture
the superior performance of heterozygous genotypes. Here, we developed a
recombinant intercross (RIX) population in maize by crossing pairs of multiparental
MAGIC recombinant inbred lines (RILs) to evaluate the heterosis
across mosaics of eight maize haplotypes. Field phenotyping was performed
on 400 RIX genotypes considering 11 agronomic traits as well as the
resistance to Fusarium Ear Rot (FER), caused by Fusarium verticillioides
(Sacc.) Nirenberg, in 2018 and 2019 in Piacenza, northern Italy. Phenotypic
data showed a broad range of diversity in production and phenology traits
thanks to the high level of allelic diversity available in parental
genomes. The heterotic response of agronomic traits was computed based on
RIL values as mid parent heterosis (MPH) and best parent heterosis (BPH).
Both heterosis measures showed different magnitudes for different traits,
with higher level of heterosis in yield and lower in flowering time,
suggesting effects from partial dominance to over-dominance. No correlation
was observed between phenotypic performance and heterozygosity level of
RIXs for most of the agronomic traits. A preliminary quantitative trait
locus (QTL) mapping detected a number of significant associations with
agronomic traits across all chromosomes. The RIX collection showed a
moderate heritability of FER resistance, and QTL were associated to this
trait as well. The allelic effect estimates by our mapping model indicated
the presence of minor effect QTL with relatively small additive effects on
disease resistance in both years. Our findings confirm the usefulness of
the RIX population to decipher heterotic loci in maize and support
utilizing this resource in future to accelerate crop improvement.

The first Wechsler-Bellevue forms (1939-1946) were translated into Italian in 1957. The WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, 1955) and the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 1949) were introduced in Italy in 1974 and 1956 respectively. The aim of this paper is to identify the ways in which the Italian verbal and cultural subtests (particularly the Information and Comprehension subtests) differed from the American version; and to show the attention increasingly paid to cultural diversity.

Settore M-PSI/01 - PSICOLOGIA GENERALE
Interoception refers to the ability to sense modifications of internal bodily states. The accurate perception of internal states is crucial for self-regulation, as well as for higher-order cognitive-affective processes. Despite increasing attention on interoceptive attentiveness (IAtt), little is known about its neurofunctional correlates and potential objective biomarkers of IAtt performance. 36 volunteers took part in this study and were asked to undergo a heart-beat counting task (HCT), a widely-used IAtt task. Central electrophysiological (EEG) and cardiovascular activity was monitored during both resting-state and HCT. Intracortical sources of EEG signals were estimated via eLORETA. Contrast analyses comparing HCT and resting highlighted higher current density estimates for Alpha frequency during the task, with primary cortical seed in the right parahippocampal gyrus. Regression analyses exploring the association between IAtt scores and task-related changes in intracortical current density during HCT have highlighted a positive association for the Beta frequency bands, with primary cortical seeds in cingulate gyrus and insula. Findings add to available literature by further specifying the electrophysiological signature of interoceptive attentiveness

In an onlife context (Pasta & Rivoltella, 2022), students are challenged by a dynamic reality in which digital media work as connective tissue since augmented reality appears in everyday actions. It allows for investigating the relationship between motor activities, executive functions and exergames from an operational and meta-reflexive perspective (Garbui & Rivoltella, 2023).
In a constantly evolving world, we must consider the role of the body in learning, as indicated by the recent approach to embodiment. An Episode of Situated Learning (ELS) methodology (Rivoltella, 2014) allows for uniting the didactic design with the point of view of the embodied cognition paradigm of the cognitive sciences. On the other hand, physical education is one of the school disciplines where more and better can be learned with the body.
Current scientific evidence suggests a strong relationship between pragmatic-motor skills and executive functions (Barenberg et al., 2011).
Digital technology can enhance teaching and learning, but how must it be studied? The BlazePod is a digital motor game aimed at stimulating the player’s motor skills, and its psychological effects have been studied in physical education school contexts (Quintas, 2020). In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this technology’s effects on executive function variables, further information is necessary. In particular, this research focuses on inhibitory control (Houdé, 2020) and working memory. Inhibitory control allows adaptation to changes and choosing information for a response; working memory keeps information active and manipulates it for short-term goals. Additionally, it is essential to integrate this information into ESL didactics for optimal results effectively.
Several studies request studying the psychological effects of didactics more rigorously on education, indicating the limitations of empirical research into education, such as its dominant application to colleges, lack of comparative groups or validity of measures (Dichev & Dicheva, 2017). More experimental empirical research is needed to complement theoretical approaches, especially in formal education contexts (Quintas, 2022).
For all these reasons, the objective of this proposal has been to design the scientific method and the educational intervention to cover the research needs, as well as to study the theoretical compatibility with the actual practical interventions. Specifically, we want to share a quasi-experimental research design based didactically on ELS, psychologically on the embodiment, digitally on augmented reality with the BlazePod, and curricularly on school physical education.

Implementing sustainability practices in b2b

The trend toward sustainability in business operations and practices in industry stimulated growing interest in research. Numerous recent studies examine the trend towards “green” products, processes and clean technologies and discuss the possibilities to exploit related business opportunities. Reaping the business opportunities appears to require integrating the two areas of sustainability and innovation not only in theory but also in business practices and require of companies to make changes internally as well as externally, in companies’ supply networks (e.g. Brindley & Lynn, 2015). Changing to more sustainable practices implies involvement of different parties and communication among these (Biggeman, Williams & Kro, 2014) and rearranging activities along with developing or recombining resources among different actors within the relevant business networks (Håkansson & Snehota, 1995). This paper focuses on the agri-food sector where sustainability concerns are diffused and lead to developing business practices also to comply with evolving European norms and regulations in the field. Societal, economic and technological changes impact the entire food processing chain, from agricultural production through food processing to the distribution to end consumers (Menrad, 2004). It has been observed that “the evolution of the agri-food system calls for a constant update of the corpus of knowledge in a continuous effort of interpreting and explaining observed behaviors in the industry” (Bonanno, 2017, p. 3). Although there is a considerable body of research on innovation in agri-food business, studies of how innovation for sustainability is actually carried out in this sector have been limited. Recent research argues that an ‘open innovation’ perspective is promising (Medeiros et al., 2016), but the research on the processes involved remains limited, even though it appears to hold significant promise of managerial and policy relevance. Therefore, this paper aims to address the following research questions: 1) How are innovation projects for sustainability initiated, developed and implemented? and, 2) Who are main actors involved in such projects and what changes/adaptations are required?
Empirically the paper is based on direct participation and observation in the projects by one of the paper's authors and six interviews with the agri-food company Orto that operates in the deep-frozen vegetables industry and an institutional actor (agronomist) involved in innovation for sustainability processes in Orto. The interviews have been recorded and transcribed and have been subsequently analyzed by confronting emerging data with previous findings following an abductive logic (Dubois & Gadde, 2002). By analyzing the critical aspects and impulses of these customer-supplier relationships in developing sustainable solutions, we found that sustainability driven projects originate in and are driven by interaction with various actors external to the company. We also found that the sustainability projects are characterized by interactions and involve continuous re-formulating and adapting of the solutions brought about within the frame of the project. Finally, we found that the ‘evolutionary’ dynamics of the sustainability are driven by tensions and controversies about solutions to apply that continuously emerge among various actors involved and that third parties often have a major role. We are bound to argue that such tensions, rather than barriers to implementing sustainable business practices, are in effect the generative mechanism of sustainable practices.

We present a model to study complex physical systems composed by a set of clusters of different chemical species immersed in a matrix with which they interact. The overall model describes the transient of the basic mechanisms governing the processes of interaction in a two-dimensional micrometer size system. At each time step, the continuum (micrometer scale) model computes the macroscopic fields according to the prescribed boundary conditions. The continuum system is discretized with a desired number of uniform computational cells. Each cell contains a number of computational particles which represent the actual particles mixture. The particle-in-cell (discrete) model maps the macroscopic fields from the (continuum) cells to the particles. A molecular dynamics approach is used for computing the chemical reactions among the particles. We present results of a recent application of this approach to the simulation of nanoparticles formation in SHS reactors [1].

The present pilot randomised controlled trial compared the impact of a Mindfulness-based brief intervention conducted in telemedicine (n = 20) for a period of 5-6 sessions of 45 minutes each, for a total commitment of 3 weeks, to a wait-list control (n = 20), involving people who have been previously tested positive for COVID-19, admitted to intensive care or reanimation and subsequently in respiratory rehabilitation following negativization. The General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Impact of Event Scale (IES), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State Shame and Guilt Scale-8, Peritraumatic Perceptions of Fear and life threat, Psychological General Well-being Index (PGWBI), respiratory functions, oxygen saturation, haemogasanalysis were detected at baseline, 3 weeks, and 3 months. Semi-structured interviews conducted according to the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach detected the participants' emotional experiences, expectations, and beliefs about their experience of illness. This study showed the potential of an affordable and widely accessible Mindfulness-based brief intervention in clinical practice, offering a view of hospital-territory continuity following the acute phase of COVID-19 disease.

Hate speech online: il coinvolgimento dei gruppi bersaglio dell’odio e la teoria del cambiamento attraverso
la Media Literacy
Stefano Pasta

Settore M-PED/03 - DIDATTICA E PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE
Introduzione
Negli ultimi anni sia la ricerca accademica (Schweppe, Perry, 2022) sia la riflessione socio-culturale, educativa e politica (Guillén-Nieto, 2023; Santerini, 2023) si sono soffermate sull’hate speech, il discorso d’odio e le flame wars, le fiammate con cui, soprattutto nel web sociale, sono presi di mira gruppi o singoli eletti a bersaglio perché simbolo di una determinata posizione, comportamento, o fragilità; uno degli esiti di questi studi e dibattiti è la nuova definizione di hate speech adottata dal Consiglio d’Europa nel maggio
2022 (CM/Rec2022-161).
In altre ricerche sono stati analizzati il fenomeno e la rilevanza dell’ambiente digitale (Pasta, 2018), l’interpretazione di conversazioni con adolescenti e giovani che avevano coprodotto discorsi d’odio online (Pasta, 2019), le possibili risposte mediaeducative (Pasta, 2021a), alcuni casi-studio di rilevazione (detection) dell’hate speech coniugando automatismi algoritmici e valutazione qualitativa (Pasta, 2021b, 2023), la proposta di uno spettro dell’odio online anche a fronte delle difficoltà di determinarne i contorni a livello sociale o giuridico (Pasta, 2022); queste ricerche sono state applicate a specifiche forme di “pensiero prevenuto”, quali il razzismo (Pasta, 2021c), l’islamofobia (Pasta, 2020a), l’antisemitismo (Pasta et al., 2021), l’antiziganismo (Pasta, 2023), il sessismo (Pasta, Santerini, 2021), i diversi bersagli durante la pandemia da Covid-19 (Pasta, 2021d), l’intersezionalità (Pasta, 2021e).
In questa sede, spostando l’attenzione su una prospettiva attenta al ruolo delle potenziali vittime (James, McBride, 2022), ci si focalizza sull’attivazione e la partecipazione di giovani e gruppi potenzialmente eletti a bersaglio in forme di contronarrazione e narrazione alternativa all’hate speech.
Descrizione
Si analizzeranno, da un punto di vista metodologico, tre progetti di contrasto all’odio online (in particolare antisemitismo, islamofobia, antiziganismo e sessimo) attraverso il coinvolgimento dei gruppi giovanili di minoranze eletti a bersaglio e la valorizzazione delle logiche partecipative, inclusive e creative dei media digitali. Si tratta di tre progetti, realizzati dal Centro di Ricerca sulle Relazioni Interculturali dell’Università Cattolica, che saranno analizzati secondo una teoria del cambiamento attraverso la Media Literacy applicata
all’ecosistema informativo attuale. In questa teoria del cambiamento, mutuata da Julian McDougall e Isabella Rega (2022), gli ecosistemi mediatici – locali, nazionali, o di dimensioni più ampie – sono intesi come «sistemi dinamici di relazioni tra vari attori, processi e strutture che influenzano il modo in cui i contenuti dei media vengono generati, condivisi, consumati e utilizzati» (BBC Media Action, 2021, p. 2). Il cambiamento si verifica quando la Media Literacy lavora su tutte e quattro queste variabili: accesso, consapevolezza,
capacità e conseguenze; è un’impostazione che conferma la necessità di sganciare un possibile modello di efficacia della Media Literacy dall’applicazione universale di un sistema di competenze che prescinda dai contesti; non si pensa così al “travaso” di competenze digitali in modo individuale, ma piuttosto all’alfabetizzazione mediatica in termini collettivi.
Il contributo si concentrerà sul coinvolgimento dei gruppi giovanili, in particolare di gruppi appartenenti alle minoranze ebraica, romanì e musulmana, indicando alcune attenzioni metodologiche e inquadrando il contrasto all’odio online tra i “nuovi alfabeti” (Rivoltella, 2020) per la “cittadinanza onlife” (Pasta, Rivoltella, 2022) e tra le competenze interculturali al tempo del web sociale e del nuovo ecosistema informativo (Pasta, 2020b).

Unlike ‘deficit models’ emphasizing negative consequences
and immigrants’ maladjustment in countries of resettlement,
the salutogenic perspective focuses on psychosocial resources
and capacities that people and groups can mobilize to face
stressors and challenges. The salutogenic point of view
emerged from ecological and family-oriented migration
studies and led to a greater interest towards relational, longterm,
and protective processes capable of supporting migrant
individuals, families and communities across resettlement
phases.
Using Italian data from the EU-funded MIMY project
(EMpowerment through liquid Integration of Migrant Youth
in vulnerable conditions, Horizon 2020) and referring to a
multidimensional and processual framework on migrants’
integration and vulnerability (Spini et al., 2017), the current
study aimed at collecting and exploring voices, opinions,
beliefs, cultural representations about the meaning of vulnerability (stress and resources) adopting the perspective
of people who migrate. The study deployed a qualitative
methodology based on focus group interviews: 4 FGs
involving TCN male and female migrant youth (age range: 18-
29 years) and 2 FGs involving TNC immigrant parents (age
range: 40-55 years) have been conducted to explore attitudes,
thoughts and opinions about integration and challenges
faced by migrant youth in Italy. Thematic analysis carried
out on FGs transcripts permitted to identify several themes
and subthemes related to conceptualization of vulnerability
and integration (perceived obstacles and resources),
revealing interesting commonalities across participants,
and also underscoring gender and generational differences.
What has helped and hindered over time in building young
migrants’ lives in the context of migration will be discussed
by reference to five main interrelated dimensions (cultural,
linguistic, professional, living conditions, and psychological)
that emerged from the focus group interviews.

Nell’indagine contenuta nel Future of Jobs Report del 2023 proposto dal World Economic Forum si afferma che per il 42% delle aziende intervistate la formazione dei lavoratori all’utilizzo dell’Intelligenza Artificiale e dei Big Data (Cai&Zhu, 2015) si colloca al terzo posto tra le priorità, dopo lo sviluppo del pensiero analitico e la promozione del pensiero creativo, configurandosi come investimento prioritario per i prossimi cinque anni.
L’IA (Intelligenza Artificiale) è parte integrante della rivoluzione di natura tecnico-economica (Kaplan, 2018) in atto, in quanto si pone come elemen- to trasformativo sia nel mondo lavorativo sia nel tessuto sociale e culturale (Panciroli&Rivoltella, 2023).
Da una parte, quindi, l’IA si pone in dialogo con l’umano (Floridi, 2022) provando a rispondere alle richieste e a suggerire strategie possibili a problemi che vengono posti così da apprendere, migliorare e collaborare nella dinamica di interazione che adotta l’approccio human centred (Shneiderman, 2022). D’altra parte, l’uomo viene indotto ad avviare processi di apprendimento ba- sati sulla ricerca esplorativa (Lombardi&Macchi, 2016) in cui matura l’abilità di collaborare con l’IA in modo sempre più integrato ed efficace, utilizzandola come strumento di lavoro, ricercando soluzioni adeguate a problemi, di natura anche improbabile, e generando spazi e tempi di esercizio di creatività.
presente contributo vuole indagare le modalità d’uso dell’Intelligenza Artificiale generativa di OpenIA finalizzata alla text generation nota come ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) in un contesto aziendale che si occupa di formazione. Le domande di ricerca che il presente lavoro si è posto sono le seguenti: come avviene l’interazione con ChatGPT da parte dei dipendenti durante l’orario lavorativo? Come viene percepito l’impatto connesso all’uso di tool di IA nel proprio ruolo aziendale? Quali competenze (European Commission, 2020) diventano necessarie in una transizione tecno- economica in campo formativo (Communication Artificial Intelligence for Europe, 2018) per dialogare in modo efficace con ChatGPT?

Abstract
Purpose: In beauty industry sustainability issues are gaining momentum also in light of Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainability is being increasingly and constantly recognized as source of competitive advantage in terms of brand image and profit. Consumers, in particular Millennials and Gen Z are very interested in having a quality product with sustainable and bio characteristics, and are very sensitive to sustainable packaging (Švecová et al., 2020; PwC 2020; Cosmetica Italia, 2021).
Dealing with sustainability issues in beauty industry results in a complex and multi-actor ecosystem made up by different elements, behaviors, and interactions, so in this paper this industry has been considered, according to Service Dominant logic, as a service ecosystem in which actors interact at micro, meso and macro level and in which tensions could arise (Vargo and Lusch, 2017; Hahn et al., 2015; Smith and Lewis, 2011)
Considering sustainability in the beauty industry requires to address multiple environmental, economic and social goals at different levels of the services ecosystem (Elkington, 1997).
The aim of this paper is to recognize current tensions arising at the different levels of this service ecosystem when actors characterized by different worldviews interact and integrate resources and to address tensions and paradoxes between economic, environmental and social goals.
Design, methodology, approach: In order to achieve the aims of the paper and coherently with the complexity of the issue, the study adopts a qualitative methodology: the study has been conducted in a real context through face-to-face interviews with multi-level actors of the beauty industry. It consists of 29 semi-structured interviews with key informants at different levels of the service ecosystem. Interviews were carried out between April 2021 and November 2021.
Data from interviews have been triangulated with those deriving analysis of secondary data and with data deriving from participant observations (Eisenhardt, 1989; Yin, 2018)
Findings: Sustainability is driving the evolution of Italian beauty service ecosystem and findings highlight that resource integration and actors’ engagement and interactions are linked to the presence of shared worldviews. Data also show that when misalignments in worldviews generate tensions between the different actors that could be overcome trough a holistic vision of sustainability and trough the implementation of new innovative practices. The proposition of shared practices and KPIs for the managers could enhance the creation of new worldviews and institutions.
Discussion and conclusion: This paper contributes both at a theoretical and managerial level to a better understanding of the tensions and paradoxes linked to the sustainable transition of beauty industry. It identifies the main issues that researchers, managers and policy makers could address to support the sustainable evolution of beauty service ecosystem and to investigate existent tensions and how to manage them in a paradoxical way also in light of Sustainable Development Goals.

Recent decades in Italy have seen a very rapid expansion of urbanisation in terms of physical assets, while
demographics have remained stable. Both the characteristics of Italian soil and anthropic development, along with
repeated global climatic stress, have made the country vulnerable to floods, the intensity of which is increasingly
alarming. The combination of these trends will contribute to large financial losses due to property damage in the
absence of specific mitigation strategies.
The present study focuses on the province of Sondrio in Northern Italy (area of about 3,200 km2), which is home
to more than 180,000 inhabitants and the population is growing slightly. It is clearly a hot spot for flood exposure,
as it is primarily a mountainous area where floods and flash floods hit frequently. The model we use for assessing
potential flood damage determines risk scenarios by overlaying flood hazard maps and economic asset data. In
Italy, hazard maps are provided by Regional Authorities through the Hydrogeological System Management Plan
(PAI) based on EU Flood Directive guidelines. The PAI in the study area includes both the large plain and the
secondary river system and considers three hazard scenarios of Low, Medium and High Frequency associated with
return periods of 20, 200 and 500 years and related water levels.
By an overlay of PAI maps and residential areas, visualized on a GIS, we determine which existing built-up
areas are at risk for flood according to each scenario. Then we investigate the value of physical assets potentially
affected by floods in terms of market values, using the database of the Italian Property Market Observatory (OMI),
and in terms of reconstruction costs, by considering synthetic cost indexes of predominant building types (from
census information) and PAI water height.
This study illustrates a methodology to assess flood damage in urban settlements and aims to determine general
guidelines that can be extended throughout Italy. The final objective will be to analyse how the loss prospective
can change when mitigation measures, including actions to reduce the flood hazard and strategies to prevent
potential consequences, are implemented. Flood impacts and the corresponding value of mitigation measures will
be assessed by means of a cost–benefit analysis in accordance with the EU Floods Directive.

INTRODUCTION: Listening to self-selected motivational music (Terry, 2020) during aerobic exercise may induce an excita- tory stimulus on physiological parameters (Ballman, 2021), such as the heart rate (HR), in correlation with exercise intensi- ty. However, the effect of music on the recovery phase seems to present an entirely new area of research in the available literature, particularly regarding short-time recovery (Karageorghis, 2012). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of self-selected motivational music on HR during recovery.
METHODS: Forty university students (age 22.7±2.6 yrs; BMI 21.8±2.5 kg·m-2; V̇O2max 39.7±7.9 mLO2·kg-1·min-1) per- formed different training sessions with (+M) and without (-M) self-selected motivational music. They were divided into three percentile categories (high, average and low) according to their cardiorespiratory fitness level (V̇O2max), assessed by a submaximal cycling direct test. During each training session, two 6-minute square-wave cycling bouts were per- formed, interspersed with 10 min of recovery, at two different intensities: 60% of V̇O2max (Mod) and 90% of V̇O2max (Vig). Each condition was replicated during two different moments of the day, morning (MO) and evening (EV), for a total of four training sessions. HR was continuously monitored in order to analyse HR peak during exercise (HRpeak), HR at the 1st minute of recovery (HRrec) and the difference between HRpeak and HRrec (ΔHR%).
RESULTS: For the entire group of subjects, no influence of music or time of the day was found. Subjects with high and aver- age V̇O2max obtained a significantly (p<0.05) faster recovery when compared with those with low V̇O2max, inde- pendently of music condition (high V̇O2max: EV+M 12,4±4,4; EV-M 12,4±4 ΔHR%; average V̇O2max: EV+M 10,7±3,9; EV-M 10,8±4,2 ΔHR%; low V̇O2max: EV+M 6,3±2,8; EV-M 5,7±3,4 ΔHR%). At Mod intensity, subjects with high V̇O2max, inde- pendently of the time of the day, obtained significantly greater HRpeak and HRrec values in +M condition compared to -M (HRpeak: MO+M 138.4±11.7; MO-M 136.5±12.6; EV+M 138±8.9; EV-M 134.7±8.3 bpm, p=0.0278; HRrec: MO+M 118.8±11.1; MO-M 119.5±15.5; EV+M 120.2±9.9; EV-M 116.9±8.9 bpm, p=0.0364). In general, listening to motivational music during recovery phase does not affect ΔHR%. No differences emerged for Vig condition.
CONCLUSION: Untrained subjects have a slower recovery phase compared with more trained subjects, and listening to music after the workout doesnt help bridge the gap. Moreover, listening self-selected motivational music, during aerobic exercise and during recovery, in trained subjects, seems to negatively affect recovery capacity, independently of the time of the day.

Current food crop production systems are heavily dependent on the use of
chemical fertilizers, of which those containing phosphorus (P), essential
for plant growth and development, represent a non-renewable mineral
resource whose reserves are estimated to decline within 100-200 years. The
microbiota associated with plant roots, mainly represented by arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be exploited for reducing external P input into
agro-ecosystems. In this study, plant and fungal variables involved in P
acquisition were investigated in four maize inbred lines (Oh40B, Mo17, Oh43
and B73), differing for mycorrhizal responsiveness and low-P tolerance,
when inoculated with the symbiont Rhizoglomus irregulare. The expression
patterns of genes encoding phosphate transporters (PTs) in extraradical and
intraradical mycelium (ERM and IRM) and in maize roots were assessed along
with plant growth responses, P uptake and ERM extent and structure. The
four maize lines differed in expression levels of PT genes in both plant
and fungal tissues, in ERM phenotypic traits and plant performance.
Expression of PT genes in roots and ERM of the low-P tolerant maize line
Mo17 was higher than that detected in the low-P susceptible line B73, which
revealed larger ERM hyphal densities and interconnectedness. Significant
correlations were found between ERM structural traits, and both expression
levels of PT genes and mycorrhizal host benefit data.
Further studies aimed at improving our knowledge of the genetic mechanisms
regulating the functioning of AMF symbiosis may lead to the development of
new strategies of targeted molecular breeding to obtain more sustainable
low-P tolerant crops.

“La parola ai bambini”: voci d’infanzia dall’archivio storico dell’Internationale Jugendbibliothek

All’interno della recente e molto articolata sfida di analizzare e indagare il
pensiero infantile nel suo articolarsi storico, gli studi condotti sulle “scritture
bambine” hanno trovato uno spazio di affermazione anche nell’indagine storica
sulla letteratura per l’infanzia. Se da un lato le riviste per ragazzi si sono
poste all’attenzione della riflessione critica come possibili fonti per rintracciare
la voce viva del giovane lettore anche su tematiche relative ai libri e alla lettura,
dall’altro lato un altro nuovo ambito di ricerca può essere offerto dal materiale
archivistico conservato dalle biblioteche per ragazzi. In particolare, nel secondo
dopoguerra la nascita di biblioteche pubbliche come luoghi ideali per la costruzione
di un tessuto culturale improntato attorno ai riscoperti valori democratici,
delineò nuovi profili di lettori bambini: essi erano fruitori attivi dei libri
messi a disposizione in spazi a loro misura ed erano partecipi della vita della
biblioteca, rielaborando e suggerendo in forma scritta e orale quanto veniva
loro offerto, in un’ottica di reciproco scambio.
Su questo versante culturale si collocano le iniziative di educazione alla lettura
promosse dalla scrittrice e giornalista Jella Lepman (1891-1970) negli anni
Cinquanta all’interno dell’Internationale Jugendbibliothek, la prima biblioteca
europea per bambini e ragazzi dotata di un patrimonio bibliografico internazionale.
L’accortezza nella scelta delle opere da inserire nel catalogo della biblioteca
teneva in considerazione due aspetti fondamentali: la qualità letteraria dei
testi, che dovevano rispecchiare il progetto educativo della biblioteca, ma anche
i gusti letterari dei giovani lettori, a cui veniva lasciato spazio di pensiero e giudizio.
A partire da questo presupposto nacque l’idea di far scrivere delle recensioni
ai lettori stessi, dando la possibilità agli editori e agli autori di ascoltare le
opinioni del loro pubblico e di ricalibrare eventualmente la proposta editoriale.
Questa attenzione al pensiero giovanile emerse in maniera ancor più decisiva
186 Il patrimonio storico-educativo come fonte per la Public History of Education
con la creazione di gruppi di discussione sui libri. Ragazzi dai 9 ai 18 anni guidati
dalla presenza di un adulto come mediatore, e in alcuni casi anche con la
partecipazione dell’autore, strutturavano un dibattito critico sulle opere lette.
Il presente lavoro di ricerca intende riportare alla luce alcune di queste testimonianze
infantili scritte, conservate presso l’archivio storico della biblioteca
monacense. Con la dovuta cautela nell’analizzare tali fonti, si ritiene che esse
permettano di ampliare l’asse di attenzione da una valutazione critica adulta
attorno alla produzione letteraria per ragazzi a una valorizzazione del pensiero
critico giovanile esistente e ai processi formativi di riflessione critica. Inoltre, il
dialogo che queste fonti potrebbero instaurare con la Public History of Education
rappresenta un’occasione elettiva per proporre una narrazione di pratiche
educative del secolo passato alla comunità educante dei giorni nostri nell’ambito
bibliotecario per ragazzi o in quello scolastico e per valorizzare più efficacemente
le tracce infantili del tempo, riportando alla luce l’identità, gli interessi e
i gusti di lettura dei giovani lettori del secondo Novecento e osservandone oggi
possibili itinerari di sviluppo.

Theorizing zoomie technoculture: embodied netnography to capture the connected self

The zoomie is a technologically-mediated self-portrait snapshot, snapped by an individual with a smartphone or a webcam in the flow of a Zoom platform experience (or other similar internet-based videocommunication platforms such as MicrosoftTeams or Google Meet) and then shared on social media. Conceived as a natural evolution of the selfie, the zoomie practice, after being globally popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic, has given rise to a new “zoomie technoculture”. Zoomie technoculture designates the system of meanings, actions, discourse, technologies, people, objects, places, and interactions used by people to present their self, build their relationships and craft their content within and through videocommunication platforms such as Zoom.
While literature on selfies is abundant, studies are missing that theorize the new stylistic canons and cultural codes of the zoomie, looking at it as a new object of evolving technoculture (Kozinets, 2019). Through a netnography (Kozinets, 2020), this study provides an inductive theorization of the zoomie and of its stylistic canons and cultural codes of self-presentation and contrasts them with those of the selfie. To this aim, this work highlights the techno-materiality of the zoomie, depicting how technology captures, frames and enables the representation and the circulation of the zoomies in social media platforms. Self-presentation captured in a zoomie reveals a shift from the beautifying and curated logic of selfie to the unkempt and comfy logic of zoomie. While selfies “publicize the private gaze”, carefully embellishing the self, the spaces and the objects with contrived authenticity and commodifizing them as objects of consumer desire; zoomies, in contrast, “privatize the public gaze”. In zoomies, people invite others into the interior, genuine, intimate space of their own subjectivity and make them part of a flow of experience where the self is crafted in connection with other people (see Figure 1). This highlights that the practice of self- presentation performed on technological platforms affectively, productively, and playfully reaffirms how the self is always connected with and constituted by multiple others (Ngai, 2022).
In theorizing the zoomie, netnography plays a crucial role, acting not only as a method to collect, get immersed into, analyze and interpret the variety of the zoomies, but also as a material and discursive embodiment (Barad, 2003) of the zoomie. Notably, in the investigative, interactive and immersive research operations, netnography discovers, represents, curates and enriches the zoomie, co-constructing its multifarious embodiments as emergent deep data. In the netnography process, the zoomie takes its own shape as a technocultural object which reveals meanings, values, actions, affordances and interactions. Hence, in this paper we discuss netnography as an embodied set of technocultural research practices where method and data coalesce assuming fluid, dialectic, co-constitutive dynamics. As netnography adapts its practices and procedures to form a unique combination that is new and different for each phenomenon, with this study we also advance our understanding of how embodied netnography captures meanings and practices that today can be increasingly obscure, elusive, slippery, and hidden in the depths of human interactions through and with technologies (Gambetti & Kozinets, 2022).

a densely populated and economically well-developed area. The loss estimation refers to the damage of
residential buildings and takes into account the cumulative effects of the sequence of the 2012 Emilia
earthquake, characterized by a series of shocks with a magnitude range between 5.5 and 6 that lasted for
nearly a month. The earthquake ground shaking was characterized by long-period component amplifications
due to the presence of thick banks of sediments; nevertheless, there was a great damage to ordinary
residential structures, characterized by short periods.
The present study estimated the building damage using an approach based on the definition of the EMS-98
macroseismic scale, which is able to depict a damage scenario by means of observed intensity. Then we used
the value of real estate assets (OMI) to quantify the economic losses, instead of the commonly adopted cost
of reconstruction, because it is both an official and a yearly updated economic indicator. As the trade
negotiations value is easily available throughout all the national territory, the present loss assessment can
be effortlessly reproduced in case of future events.
The proposed method consists of a multidisciplinary approach taking advantage of seismic, engineering, and
economic skills, which is able to depict an attainable ex-post losses scenarios.

High-tech startup marketing represents today a promising research topic, due to the novelty of such business and the technological contents provided in their proposed products. Literature shows that digital marketing strategies and specifically online activities (e.g., advertising), especially those conducted through the use of social media, may be particularly successful in boosting startups’ growth. However, the effects on consumers’ willingness to buy in such a context are still hazy. Through an exploratory research design, this paper sheds light on the effects of consumers’ perceived brand personality on their willingness to buy proposed by high-tech startup. An experiment has been conducted among a sample of 197 randomly selected international consumers. Results show that a high level of digital marketing strategies conducted online positively influences consumers’ willingness to buy through the perceived increased brand personality. Implications and opportunities for startuppers, marketers, and managers are discussed together with limitations and suggestions for future research.

This contribution aims to explore the determinants of production systems which allow manufacturing companies to pursue production diversification strategies, with the goal of reaching plant saturation (at least in the short period) of the production capacity in situations of decrease of demand in the markets traditionally served by the company. The empirical analysis, aimed at exploring these relationships, is conducted through the administration of a questionnaire conveyed by the sections of Confindustria of Bergamo and Trento. The preliminary results, which are based on data provided by 39 companies, show that during the 2020 lockdown, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, companies characterized by greater production flexibility were able to launch new products (such as disinfectant gels, masks, gowns or sanitary devices), whose production was allowed by current legislation, managing to contain the reduction in the degree of saturation of the production lines and to guarantee the maintenance employment more effectively than other less flexible firms.

Settore MED/43 - MEDICINA LEGALE
Digital therapeutics (DTx) are innovative evidence-based medical interventions, driven by high-
quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat diseases of patients. DTx are also defined
as “drugs” where algorithms are the active ingredient instead of a chemical or biological
substance. DTX can be used alone or in combination with other devices or medications.
DTxs are finding application in a variety of areas, including chronic diseases (type II diabetes,
hypertension, obesity, insomnia, Alzheimer’s), and above all addictions (alcohol, smoking, and
drugs). Today there are roughly 35 to 40 products on the market, 8 of which approved by
regulatory agencies. The value of the global DTx market has been estimated at USD 1.8 billion in
2018, and it is expected to reach USD 8.9 billion by 2027.
DTx differ from common wellness apps or medication reminder tools in that they require
“rigorous” clinical evidence. However, their use raises a number of ethical concerns. Aim of the
present work is to provide an overview of the main ethical issues pertaining the assessment of this
emerging technology. The final purpose is to support and facilitate an open and transparent
ethical debate with regard to DTx.

A Novel Self-Adaptive SIS Model Based on the Mutual Interaction between a Graph and its Line Graph (Short Version)

In the standard Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic model on networks the initial probabilities for nodes to be infected evolve over time according to a dynamic model that depends on the infection rate β, the recovery rate γ and, assuming a weighted network, on a static assignment of weights to the edges. The weight of each edge conveys how likely that edge is to be a channel for the spread of the infection. Hence, the
potential of an edge to transmit the infection may vary from edge to edge due to the intrinsic and topological features of the network.
However, this capability may also vary over time as a result of the spread of the infection itself. For instance, in a transportation network in which nodes are airports and edges are routes, the weight assigned to edges can be the number of flights per day along each route. The volume of flights and passengers is the most natural proxy of how likely the contagion will move along that route and propagate from one airport to another. Suppose, however, that, at one of (or both) the two airports which are the
ends of a given route, there is a high probability to detect infected individuals and node isolation policy is in place. In the absence of external interventions, that route increases
the probability to be a channel of transmission, independently of the number of actual flights. In other words, the probability that an edge is a channel for the transmission of an infection is not independent of the probability that its ends are infected. This is the perfect counterpart to the fact that the probability attribute that a node is infected at time t is not independent of the probability that the link would transmit the epidemic, which is usually condensed in the weight edge.
The most natural way to take into account this idea is to consider an auxiliary, or dual, process in which the shock propagates among edges through the nodes; that is, a process occurring in a new network in which edges become the new nodes and nodes
become the new edges. This network is usually defined in the literature as line graph. The key idea is then to design a model in which the weights assigned to the edges can adapt according to the changing ability of the edges themselves to transmit the disease. The updated values of the edge weights are computed as outcomes of a dual process on the line graph.

Elementary School Inspectors in Northern Italy before Unification (1780–1860): The Establishment of a Key Figure
Polenghi Simonetta
I. Garai, B. Vincze, Z. Polyák
Polenghi, Simonetta
Settore M-PED/02 - STORIA DELLA PEDAGOGIA
The origin of school inspectors as state officials is closely connected with the birth of a state school system, which was first fully enforced in Italy in Habsburg Lombardy, when Felbiger’s pedagogy and the Allgemeine Schulordnung were introduced by Joseph II. The task of supervising elementary school teachers was given to a chief school director, normally a priest. The Napoleonic governments backed the Normalmethode and the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy introduced the position of three state chief inspectors (secular university professors), although everyday local control remained in the hands of city school directors, who were priests. During the Restoration, the Politische Schulverfassung was applied by decree in 1818 throughout the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, creating the role of two chief inspectors of elementary schools for Lombardy and the Venetian region. These had to be clergymen.
We can reconstruct the work of these inspectors and trace the gradual affirmation of their role through the imposition of the Normalmethode but also through confrontations with the city council or government authorities, in which they defended the need to open new schools, pay teachers better, and protect poor children.

Translating Educational Objects in English and Italian: Framing the Stories of Fatima/Iqbal, Parvana, and Malala for a Young Audience

Debé, A.
Alborghetti, Claudia
Settore M-PED/02 - STORIA DELLA PEDAGOGIA
Translation in children’s literature is a powerful tool to help young readers’ empathy grow towards sociocultural issues from other countries. In Eastern countries (Iran, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan for example) the historical development of translations for children from the 19th century has shown how literature framed crucial political and social issues involving children. Despite the rare research in this field, it seems that the contact with Western countries often resulted in exporting issues such as children in warfare or child labour into narratives that found a more fertile ground in translation among Western languages than from narratives originating where these issues were actually experienced. The development of children’s literature in Eastern countries served as a springboard to introduce local writers and iconic figures in the 20th century in Western chidren’s literature. This paper wishes to explore three selected writers who sourced their material from direct local testimonies or literature to depict images of child characters especially in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the issues of warfare and child labour are strongly felt. Deborah Ellis, Jeanette Winter and Francesco D’Adamo come to mind for their painstaking effort to bring young readers’ attention to iconic figures of courage and generosity that echo through their struggle to achieve a decent education. Above all, considering the topics at hand, these
three are among the very few writers that have been translated into Italian (Ellis and Winter) and English (D’Adamo). Ellis’ The Breadwinner (2000), Parvana’s Journey (2002) and My Name is Parvana (2012) and D’Adamo’s Storia di Iqbal ([2001] 2015) share an interesting aspect that makes the main characters’ stories cross paths: the use of educational tools to overcome hunger, loneliness, captivity, in difficult and often dangerous situations. The story of Iqbal as told by D’Adamo finds a counterpart in Malala’s fight for education in Winter’s double picture book Malala/Iqbal, aimed at younger children, where the book and pen become symbols of bravery against tyranny. It should be borne in mind that these stories were originally written according to a Western set of frames that needed to fit in the broader context of children’s literature written in English and Italian. The paratextual analysis of source texts is the first step to achieve the main objective of this research: the descriptive analysis of target texts, with special emphasis on the framing of unconventional educational tools and contexts for the receiving public. Preliminary results show how, in the English speaking context, D’Adamo’s story has been rewritten to respond to a more inclusive and active educational context familiar to the American public, whereas Ellis’ and Winter’s translations seem to reflect a closer interest in sharing with the Italian audience the symbolic charge attributed to educational tools as shown in the source texts. It may therefore be suggested that the way educational objects are translated contributes to transform collective imagination in the receiving culture, arguing that translation plays an active role in the educational processes that shape different cultures.

Commitment to environmental causes is emerging as a fundamental driver of
consumption choices, especially for the younger generations. However, studies are missing that delve deeper into how young consumers, particularly Millennials and Gen Zers, dialogically frame their favor and support for sustainable brands. In this paper, we explore how young consumers shape their choices for sustainable brands and products in their social media conversations, which represent the most common ground where sustainable commitments are discussed. We conduct an in-depth netnographic
investigation that provides a deep cultural understanding of the system of values, meanings, language, stories, images, and priorities that young consumers associate with sustainable choices. Considering that Millennials and Gen Zers are setting as a top priority to limit the consumption of single-use plastics, our study is set into the communities of plastic-free refillable bottles. Our findings visually map and dig deeper into the specific motivations that young consumers prioritize in conversations when they embrace plastic-free brands.

INTRODUCTION: Thoracic hyperkyphosis is one of the most common postural disorders (Garoflid, 2000) identified with a rounded back and shoulders forward (Vaughn, 2007) that could be developed during adolescence (Kamaci, 2015). Young basketball players have a high level of endurance demand, often overloading the biological tissues and causing biome- chanical compensations (Guedes, 2014). Due to the immaturity of their musculoskeletal structures, those consequences may influence the growth process and lead to the development of various postural patterns (Grabara, 2014). The following study aims to verify if the use of a corrective program could prevent postural disorders in young basketball athletes.
METHODS: Twenty-eight healthy male adolescents basketball players took part in the study: fourteen in the experimental (EXP) group (15.3±1.1yrs; 65.9±9.1 kg; 182.5±6.2 cm) and fourteen in the control (CTRL) group (15.4±1.3 yrs; 73.9±6 kg; 180.8±7.5 cm). Both groups were assessed with a postural screening test in order to find any postural issues and subjects were screened with manual inclinometers and plumb line (Kendall, 2005). At baseline (PRE) and post 8 weeks of training (POST), Dorsal Kyphosis grades (DK), Forward Head Posture grades (FHP), Forward Shoulder Position anteposition (FSP), and Push-Pull ratio (PPratio) have been evaluated. The training program was structured with three parts: the first with mobility exercises for the upper joints, the second with analytical exercises for the shoulder musculature, and a third with integrated exercises for the upper musculature.
RESULTS: In the EXP group, DK (PRE 45.8±5.3°; POST: 36.1±7°), FHP (PRE: 12.9±5.6°; POST: 3.3±3.4°), FSP (PRE: 12.9±1.5 cm; POST: 11.1±1.4 cm), and PPratio (PRE: 2.73±1.24; POST: 1.54±0.34) were significantly (p<0.01) influenced by training. In the CTRL group, there weren’t any significant changes in the data except for the FSP (PRE: 12.3±1.3 cm; POST: 13.1±1.6 cm) (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Our data show that a corrective exercise program could improve dorsal kyphosis posture, lowering the entity of the dorsal and cervical curves, realigning the head and the shoulders in the correct position, and balancing the muscular strength differences between pushing and pulling muscles. The present corrective exercise program could be used as a pre-practice warm-up in those athletes who have a kyphosis posture or in those athletes with a kyphosis that needs to be corrected.

The literature on the consumption patterns of specific categories of consumers, such as people with disability, remains limited to date. This study explored the explicit and implicit consumer experience of visually impaired (VI) consumers in-store. A group of VI and a control group explored three different product shelves and manipulated target products inside the supermarket, while their neurophysiological and autonomic activity was measured. Also, behavioural and self-report data were collected in relation to three main different phases of the in-store shopping experience: i) the identification of a product (recognition accuracy and time); ii) the style of product purchase (predominant sense used for shelf exploration, store spatial representation and orientation ability); iii) the consumers experience. For the VI group, higher levels of disorientation, difficulty in finding products, and repeating the route independently were found. Accuracy and recognition time vary by product category. Despite touch was the sense that most guides product recognition for the VI, it was also found to be significantly used by the controls across product categories, perhaps suggesting that in-store marketing strategies to be truly inclusive should consider developing tactile touchpoints.

Background
Si afferma spesso che l’HTA debba molto del suo successo al legame con l’Evidence-based Medicine (EBM),
un approccio alla medicina che pone enfasi su un particolare tipo di “evidenza”, ossia quella proveniente
dagli studi randomizzati (RCTs) e le revisioni sistematiche. In tempi recenti, tuttavia, i processi di HTA
sembrano sempre di più incorporare nelle valutazioni dati provenienti da studi non randomizzati e di Real
World Evidence. È un fenomeno preoccupante? L’HTA sta forse abbassando la qualità delle sue indagini? I
report di HTA hanno bisogno necessariamente di dati provenienti da RCTs e revisioni sistematiche per
essere realizzati?
Obiettivi del lavoro
L’obiettivo del lavoro è quello di provare a fornire una risposta a tali quesiti. In particolare, l’obiettivo è
quello di esplicitare, da un punto di vista epistemologico, il ruolo che gli studi non randomizzati e i RWD
possono svolgere nei processi di HTA.
Metodologia del lavoro
L’analisi verrà condotta attraverso un processo di rivisitazione delle principali conclusioni a cui è pervenuta
l’odierna epistemologia della scienza sul tema dell’evidenza e della loro applicazione al campo dell’HTA
nell’ambito del progetto VALIDATE (VAlues in Doing Assessments of healthcare Technologies). Quest’ultima
è una ricerca finanziata dall’Unione Europea nell’ambito del programma Erasmus+ per la formazione della
prossima generazione di esperti nell’HTA. Per l’analisi autori di riferimento saranno coloro i quali hanno
contribuito, a vario titolo, al superamento in ambito filosofico della c.d. dicotomia “fatti-valori” come
Popper, Khun, Duhem, Quine, Gadamer, Habermas e Putman.
Conclusioni
Gli studi randomizzati e RWD non rappresentano una minaccia per l’HTA. Le questioni che accompagnano il
loro uso non sono questioni di legittimità ma di rilevanza.

The AI-MIND EU funded project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital tool, which will allow to estimate the
risk of people with mild cognitive impairment to develop dementia. To facilitate its implementation in clinical practice, in the
project attention is paid to the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) principles, criteria and model. HTA requires to assess
clinical, safety, economical, organizational, ethical and legal implications of a given health technology (HT).
In the AI-MIND project, first, a group explored the potential impact of the use of an AI on the doctor-patient relationship, then
HTA experts identified potentially relevant issues for AI, and finally bioethical experts, trained in HTA, conducted an analysis on
the role of explainability, a new ethical issue to take into consideration in an HTA process regarding AI-based HT.
A Delphy panel conducted ended in April 2023 allowed to identify HTA issues potentially relevant for AI. 46 qualified experts
from mainly provided their feedbacks. The highest level of consensus was reached on the importance of ethical issues,
explainability included.
Bioethical experts conducted an analysis on the role of explainability for AI-based digital tools for the risk assessment to
develop dementia. Both global (information on the model as a whole) and local explainability (information on a specific
prediction) were investigated and applied to the specific use case. Attention was dedicated to the designated role in the
decision-making process (algorithm-based, -driven, or –determined) of the AI-MIND predicting tool.
From the HTA perspective, explainability is increasingly considered crucial for ethical analysis and should be assessed in
relation to other aspects such as the design of the technologies, the population target, or the market access.
It should be one of the topic to address for building and implementing ethical AI-solutions for early diagnosis of dementia.

The debate on the reform of lower secondary school, or rather, of the school for pupils aged between 11 and 14, has been shared by most European countries since at least the beginning of the 20th century. One of the transversal themes in these debates has been whether or not to create a unitary school channel that could delay pupils’ choice of study path rather than forcing them into early decisions through a multi-stranded post-primary school system. A debate developed in the context of the progression towards mass education and went hand in hand with the heated confrontation between defenders of humanistic culture and supporters of technical-scientific education.
However, most European countries, with a few exceptions (Visalberghi, 1964), did not actually reform the schooling of pre-teens until the second half of the 20th century.
Italy, too, in fact only changed its school system in 1962, creating a unitary three-year post-elementary system.

Settore M-PED/02 - STORIA DELLA PEDAGOGIA
The aim of this paper is to present the reactives developed by the well-known psychiatrist and psychologist Sante De Sanctis at the beginning of the XX century, identifying the criteria that guided him in their delineation. The analysis will be conducted bearing in mind the national debate about the measurement of intelligence and, in particular, by noting aspects of affinity and distance between the reactives and Binet-Simons’s metric scale.

Mediawar, la rappresentazione mediale della tecnologia nel conflitto come dimensione identitaria in prospettiva media-educativa

Nel suo editoriale sull’edizione speciale della rivista EAS “La guerra in classe” Pier Cesare Rivoltella richiama l’importanza di raccontare la guerra ai bambini e ai ragazzi nelle scuole. Raccontare la guerra in classe per non lasciare il racconto solo allo spazio mediale ma provare a stimolare un approccio critico alle notizie e alle immagini, per non lasciare che il conflitto diventi solo un altro elemento di flusso e di semplificazione. Raccogliendo questo stimolo, ci si è interrogati su un aspetto della rappresentazione mediale del conflitto che emerge sempre più nello scenario mediale contemporaneo, la dimensione del digitale. La narrazione del conflitto, infatti, si dipana in quella che David Bolter ha definito la Plenitude Digitale, in cui tutto sembra disintermediarsi e porsi sullo stesso piano senza più distinzione tra vero e
verosimile, canone alto e basso, competente e non competente.
In questo scenario ci interroga la rappresentazione mediatica della tecnologia nel conflitto, una rappresentazione che seppur partita dalle analisi militari delle forze in gioco, tende a costruire una nuova categorizzazione, forse l’unica possibilità di rappresentare il diverso nella Plenitude bolteriana, l’appartenenza o l’esclusione dal mondo della tecnologia digitale e delle reti. Il noi contro loro diventa un’assiologia non solo del bene contro il male, ma del bene digitale contro il male analogico e obsoleto. Manuel Castells, nel suo lavoro di analisi dell’avvento del tempo del digitale, rileva come l’incapacità strutturale del sistema sovietico di adeguarsi alla flessibilità e alla rapidità del digitale fu una delle cause del declino e, alla fine, del crollo dell’URSS; questa dimensione sembra riproposta ora come
una chiave di narrazione del conflitto.
Nella rappresentazione mediale della guerra in Ucraina siamo rapidamente passati dalla narrazione degli “attacchi hacker” russi al racconto di un’armata di stampo “sovietico”, composta da mezzi degli anni ‘70, coinvolta in una guerra che “sembra la seconda guerra mondiale”, “indietro sulla tecnologia”, una “Russia che vuole lasciare Internet”, contrastata da una resistenza Ucraina che è passata della bombe molotov e dai Kalashnikov in mano ai civili alle armi ibridate con la tecnologia digitale come i droni, i missili Javelin, la “sorveglianza digitale del campo di battaglia”, il “riconoscimento facciale dei nemici”. Si può leggere in questo senso anche la decisione di Meta, società per eccellenza simbolo del “web moderno”, di schierarsi a favore dell’Ucraina, sospendendo le policy sull’hate speech e fornendo opportunità tecnologiche per gli ucraini. Allo stesso modo si è schierato attivamente contro la
Russia il movimento di Anonymous, unendo dalla stessa parte – quella della tecnologia digitale – i simboli per eccellenza dei colossi del Web e dell’hacktivismo digitale, spesso posizionati su fronti opposti.
Va ricordato che in Italia, pur con talune eccezioni sovraesposte, l’invasione russa è accompagnata da un generale sostegno mediatico, politico e culturale agli ucraini da un punto di vista morale, di solidarietà umana e anche militare; in campo italiano una situazione simile si era avuta durante la guerra
in Kosovo (1999) e l’intervento della Nato.
Nella ricerca proposta di seguito abbiamo concentrato l’attenzione sulla rappresentazione della tecnologia utilizzata dalle parti in conflitto per verificare l’ipotesi che la narrazione emergente sia quella di una contrapposizione tra una parte “buona”, che vive assieme a “noi” nel mondo digitale contemporaneo, e una parte “cattiva”, che viene dal passato analogico sovietico e che
non appartiene, più, al nostro mondo. Occorre interrogarsi sulla validità di tale rappresentazione.
La ricerca si compone di due fasi: la prima è più vicina all’analisi classica del discorso mediatico tradizionale, mentre la seconda rientra nelle tecniche di social network analysis (SNA).
Nella prima sono stati estratti gli articoli di sette quotidiani italiani relativi alla tecnologia associata alla guerra e ai due blocchi per un periodo di due mesi a partire dal 24 febbraio 2022, data dell’invasione russa dell’Ucraina.
La selezione riguarda le testate più diffuse in Italia (Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica), espressione di determinati mondi culturali (Il Sole 24 Ore, Avvenire), o caratterizzate da posizioni politiche opposte (il Giornale, il Fatto Quotidiano, Il Manifesto). L’analisi del corpus è funzionale all’individuazione di tendenze temporali e tematiche nell’associazione tra tecnologia e guerra, rilevando eventi o temi che modificano il discorso pubblico e differenze tra le diverse testate analizzate.
La seconda parte mira a verificare la tenuta di questa interpretazione nel web sociale; il corpus, relativo allo stesso arco temporale e circoscritto alla lingua italiana, è tratto da Twitter, poiché tra i principali social network è l’unico con facilità di accesso ai dati in modo automatico attraverso le API, ovvero le interfacce di programmazione delle applicazioni. La metodologia di detection unisce la ricerca automatica con la classificazione umana, come già applicato in altri studi.
La domanda è se nel discorso in Twitter sia valido lo stesso schema interpretativo (tecnologia moderna vs tecnologia arcaica) e se vi siano picchi temporali di tale retorica, attraverso analisi temporali su classificazioni campionarie effettuate manualmente da esperti. I dati sono stati raccolti utilizzando la
libreria open-source Python GetOldTweets3, con la quale è possibile ottenere i tweet tramite la ricerca per query.
Con la stringa di ricerca che unisce la presenza di un lemma individuante uno dei due blocchi contrapposti nella guerra con un elemento associato tecnologia, attraverso parole chiave ricavate dalla prima fase della ricerca.
Successivamente, seguendo la tecnica del campionamento casuale semplice senza ripetizione, è stato selezionato un dataset campionario (Gareth et al., 2017). Quest’ultimo è stato classificato manualmente da esperti del settore, provando a rispondere alla domanda di ricerca.

The role of strategic communication in driving marketing-decision making

The recent disruptions such as the Covid-19 pandemic and major social movements like Black Lives Matter have
increased the relevance of strategic communication, which shapes how firms are perceived by publics and affect consumers’ behavior towards their offerings. Over the last decades, the academic literature has begun to focus on the topic of strategic communication (Argenti, 2017; Holtzhausen and Zerfass, 2015; Macnamara, 2018; Sandhu, 2009; Zerfass and Huck, 2007) as the omnidirectional diachronic ongoing process of meaning construction (van Ruler, 2018), emphasizing the role of communication departments in complex organizations and, in particular, the importance of communication alignment between organizational objectives, vision, brand and identity (Botan, 2018). Indeed, strategic communication is an “emerging field of knowledge bridging established research fields such as public relations, organizational communication and marketing communications” (Falkheimer and Heide, 2022, p. 15), also defined as an emerging interdisciplinary paradigm (Werder et al., 2018). In this vein, Heide et al. (2018) interpret strategic communication as a discipline that embraces complexity and interdisciplinarity with the aim of fully grasping the different nuances of the organization, without neglecting strategy, orientation, and organizational objectives.
One of the first definitions of strategic communication by Hallahan et al. (2007) interprets the concept of strategic communication as the purposeful use of communication by an organization to fulfill its mission. However, this definition has been superseded by other interpretations of the concept, that focus in more detail on how strategic communication can support the organization in fulfilling its mission (Volk and Zerfass, 2018). In this vein, strategic communication has been defined as an overall strategy to improve the strategic positioning of the organization (Argenti et al., 2005). Zerfass et al. (2018, p. 493) define strategic communication as “the purposeful use of communication by an organization or other entity to engage in conversations of strategic significance to its goals”. In this definition, therefore, strategic communication refers to both messaging and listening activities, including dialogues with stakeholders, social media monitoring, information from employees, etc. In other words, this new role of communication is considered strategic when it becomes substantial or significant for the development, the growth, the identity or the survival of the organization (Zerfass et al., 2018). Indeed, according to this perspective, strategic communication offers a concrete contribution to the decision-making organizational process in an evolving business context (Invernizzi et al., 2012), as it represents a critical organizational management process (Romenti and Invernizzi, 2011; Falkheimer, 2014).
In general terms, according to Volk and Zerfass (2018), the common thread of strategic communication studies is the emphasis on the notion of “purposeful”, “intentional” or “objectives-driven”. Falkheimer et al. (2017), for example, argued this concept is key for the development of effective business strategies, as strategic communication can contribute to business success. To achieve this business aim, Argenti et al. (2005) showed that strategic communication requires an integrated and multilevel approach – according to this framework, each communication function achieves specific objectives through the most appropriate channels and the most effective methods.
Invernizzi and Romenti (2015), in particular, identified four contributions of strategic communication for the organizations, namely “alignment role”, “energizing role”, “visionary role” and “constitutive role”. More specifically, the two authors interpreted strategic communication as a support to the organization to achieve alignment with external expectations, and in particular, as a support for monitoring the activities and the organizational context, capable of providing key inputs to align corporate strategies with stakeholder’ expectations and ensure the organization survival and legitimacy. Indeed, according to this perspective, strategic communication lies at the intersection of management strategy and communication (Thomas and Stephens, 2014). More specifically, Jarzabkowski et al. (2007) identified a link between discourse and the social practice of strategy, defining this practice as a set of interactions and negotiations of multiple actors that they draw upon in accomplishing that activity.
In addition, recent academic studies highlighted that strategic communication is not managed only internally by the organization, but, for the achievement of its strategic objectives, it also includes external actors and practices, such as the so-called “strategic social media influencer communication”. Indeed, according to Enke and Borchers (2019), strategic social media influencer communication is assuming an increasingly key role both in strategic communication studies and in business practices. Social media influencers represent third-party actors who have a considerable influence on organizational stakeholders, through the production and distribution of content and interaction with stakeholders (Freberg et al., 2011). Hence, in this perspective, strategic social media communication is conceptualized as the strategic use of communication in which influencers, on the one hand, perform activities of strategic relevance to organizational goals, on the other hand, influencers take an active part in interactive processes on topics relevant to the organization, adopting a moderating role (Enke and Borchers, 2019).
More in general, strategic communication has a multidirectional and complex nature which must be managed in harmony with the organizational context (O’Connor and Shumate, 2018). In this perspective, strategic communication involves the interconnection of organizations, messages, and stakeholders, and plays a key role in creating and maintaining business relationships between the parties (Knudsen and Lemmergaard, 2014; Merz et al., 2009). Indeed, recent strategic communication studies adopted a multidimensional network perspective, which allows scholars to analyze the diverse types of networks that strategic communication helps to create, maintain, and dissolve. In this regard, O’Connor and Shumate (2018, p. 400) reveal that “both the network strategies created, and the outcomes of those strategies are described in network terms”. According to the two scholars, in particular, as the affiliation network around an organization increases, so does the number of actors who share the organization’s message. In summary, three factors determine the results of a company’s engagement efforts: (1) the prior state of the affiliate network, (2) the effectiveness of the organization’s network strategies, and (3) the effects of the strategies network of other organizational actors (O’Connor and Shumate, 2018). In addition, a study by Young and Pieterson (2015) showed that strategic communication professionals should also leverage the capital that derives from the composition and structure of the interpersonal network to facilitate information flows in networks. It is believed that networks are beneficial to access unique and non-redundant sources of information.
Purpose of the paper. Given this scenario and considering also the complex and multidimensional nature of strategic communication, it is necessary to reconsider its role in driving innovative business decisions. We pose the following research question:
RQ. How does strategic communication drive decision-making processes in marketing?
Specifically, this research aims to investigate the role of strategic communication in companies from different industries and to explore how corporate communication could drive companies’ activities and impact innovative business decisions considering the transformations in nowadays society.

Al tempo della “società onlife” e della “platform society”, a livello europeo emerge la difficoltà a valutare le competenze digitali dei minori. Una recente review rileva una sovrabbondanza di approcci alla loro misurazione, con affondi specifici sull’information literacy o sulla programmazione informatica; l’eterogeneità è aumentata dal considerare in modo non sempre coerente le attività digitali (“Faccio X online”, dove le abilità correlate sono implicite ma non misurate), l’autoefficacia digitale (“Sono abile in X online”) e le competenze digitali, spesso misurate come la capacità autodichiarata di svolgere compiti digitali specifici (“So come fare X online”).
Un’altra recente systematic evidence review ha considerato 34 studi che utilizzano metodi trasversali per esaminare l’associazione delle competenze digitali con risultati tangibili, secondo la classificazione di quattro dimensioni comunemente usate in letteratura. Due terzi riguardavano l’associazione con opportunità online o altri vantaggi, mentre un altro terzo ha esaminato i rischi di pericoli online. Al contrario, sono molto rare le ricerche che provano a misurare le competenze digitali in termini di capacità di comunicazione e di creatività.
Questa eterogeneità nel rilevare e misurare le competenze digitali si riflette anche nell’ambiguità rispetto al concetto di “divario digitale”. Con “third-level digital divide”, i ricercatori propongono che le disuguaglianze digitali siano interpretate con più di un indicatore della semplice opposizione binaria
tra coloro che hanno o non hanno accesso a Internet (“first-level digital divide”) e anche più della mera promozione delle competenze digitali (“secondlevel digital divide”). In alcuni casi, infatti, la promozione dell’accesso e delle competenze senza attenzione ai risultati può riprodurre e addirittura
aumentare la disuguaglianza sociale.
A partire da queste considerazioni, nel 2021 il Centro di Ricerca sull’Educazione ai Media, all’Innovazione e alla Tecnologia (CREMIT) dell’Università Cattolica ha proposto di utilizzare il nuovo costrutto di “povertà educativa digitale” in occasione della redazione del rapporto “Riscriviamo il Futuro.
Una rilevazione sulla povertà educativa digitale” di Save the Children (2021). La povertà educativa digitale non è intesa unicamente come privazione dei dispositivi e di accesso alla Rete, e neppure come negata partecipazione alla didattica a distanza o didattica digitale integrata, che sono di fatto fenomeni
mappati da altre ricerche realizzate nel periodo di emergenza sanitaria. Si fa riferimento alla mancata acquisizione di competenze digitali, intese come nuovi alfabeti necessari nella società postmediale per analizzare la produzione e la fruizione dei diversi contenuti digitali. Citando la definizione proposta
da Save the Children, “la povertà educativa digitale si riferisce quindi alla privazione delle opportunità per apprendere, ma anche sperimentare, sviluppare e far fiorire liberamente capacità, talenti e aspirazioni, attraverso l’utilizzo responsabile, critico e creativo degli strumenti digitali”.
In altre sedi si è discusso sul costrutto, sulla possibilità di misurare la povertà educativa e sui risultati di AbCD (Autovalutazione di base delle Competenze Digitali), un primo strumento costruito per rilevare la povertà educativa digitale e utilizzato ad aprile 2021 (Convegno internazionale Scuola Democratica 2021, convegno nazionale Sirem 2021, convegno nazionale Siped 2022). Proprio a partire dall’analisi critica di AbCD, il CREMIT ha realizzato un nuovo strumento per rilevare la povertà educativa digitale.
Il contributo presenterà tale strumento, che nelle quattro aree della povertà educativa (qui declinata nel digitale), unisce la prospettiva dei diritti, ispirata al quadro di riferimento per le competenze digitali dell’Unione Europea Digital Competencies 2.1, con quella delle New Literacy, più attenta alla dinamicità e alla transdisciplinarietà delle competenze e sottolinea come un approccio segmentato tradisce la “vocazione di cittadinanza” della competenza digitale. A livello teorico reinterpreta la competenza digitale sulle tre dimensioni della critica (le semantiche, i significati, il senso sociale e culturale), dell’etica (i valori, le responsabilità, la cittadinanza), dell’estetica (i codici, i linguaggi, le narrazioni) e sul concetto delle Dynamic Literacies.
Nel contributo si presenteranno i risultati rilevati, attraverso questo strumento, nell’ambito di “Connessioni digitali”, progetto biennale realizzato da Save the Children con CREMIT e la cooperativa EDI onlus in 100 scuole secondarie di I grado di tutta Italia (classi seconde e terza); i dati riguarderanno
la rilevazione iniziale del primo anno (a.s. 2021-22), riferita a 2.200 studenti di 112 classi in 38 scuole. La discussione dello strumento e dei risultati è finalizzata alla più ampia riflessione nella direzione dell’individuazione di un ipotetico Digital Educational Poverty Index (DEPI) sul modello dell’Educational Poverty Index (EPI).

The authors asked themselves whether emotions influence driver driving and, if so, whether it is possible to
control and moderate them through the use of non-invasive technological systems. The answers confirmed the
impact of emotions on the driver's driving and, therefore, their value in experiencing customer experience
moments.
In this regard, the paper wanted to analyse non-intrusive techniques for monitoring the emotions of car drivers
through applications able to recognise the driver's emotional state. In particular, the functionalities of ADAS
(Advanced Driver Assistant Systems), which provide an automated adaptive driver assistance system (Sullivan,
2006), are analysed to answer the researchers' hypotheses.
The experiment proposed has two research objectives: to verify that the reproduction of acoustic stimuli was able
to activate a different emotional state and, based on the results obtained - which confirm the relationship between
auditory stimuli and emotional impact - to propose a new non-intrusive technological system which, by acting on
the driver's emotional response, increases attention to driving, involvement and more generally safety.

The aim of the analysis is to establish how several audio-visuals represent the transition from exclusion to integration for children with disabilities in the Italian school system and also to assess how they differ in relation to recording contemporary reality (in the case of the documentaries) or in terms of evoking and revisiting a historical phase of the past (in the case of the films). This comparison, which will be conducted within the historical-educational paradigm of research on school memory (Yanes-Cabrera, Meda &Viñao, 2017; Alfieri & Garai, 2022), will shed light upon the extent to which the interpretation of an extremely significant reform was influenced or determined by changes in societal outlook over time.

Morality as a Fundamental Dimension in Leader’s Evaluation and Endorsement

This research examines the effect of moral (vs. competent) leadership on followers' evaluations of the leader and their intentions to reconfirm them in the future. The literature demonstrates that the moral dimension is fundamental in the evaluation of oneself and of others, in the regulation of current and future behaviours. However, the importance of morality in the evaluation (and endorsement) of leadership by followers has never been investigated. The results of two experimental studies confirm the main role of the morality in the evaluation and effectiveness of leadership. In Study 1 ( N = 150) a moral failure (versus a failure of competence) of the leader produced the negative evaluations of the followers and consequently less future endorsement. This effect was mediated by the lowest perception of prototypicality of the leader and the reputational threat to the group. A confirmation of this pattern emerged in Study 2 (N = 150), in which we presented participants with an incongruous situation where the leader failed morally, but had a success in the competence (versus had a moral success, but failed in the competence). These incongruent conditions have shown that even if the leader turned out to be competent, the moral failure led the followers to express more negative evaluations and to express a smaller endorsement. Even here the results were mediated by the low perception of prototypicality and the reputational threat. These results are discussed in the light of the social identity approach, and contribute to the understanding of the leader-followers dynamics within social groups.

During 1949-1950 in Italy begun a formal investigation to characterize
maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation. In 1954, started a project for the
sampling of all Italian maize landraces; this work ended with the
collection of 562 different accessions collected in all regions with the
exception of Valle d’Aosta, even if historical cultivation of maize in this
Region is well documented.
In Italy maize landraces have been extensively grown until the mid of the
XX century when the cultivation of hybrid took place due to their
significant agronomic performances. Despite that, being Valle d’Aosta a
mountain region where intensive maize cultivation never started, it was
possible to preserve the presence of some landraces. These local materials,
which are still cultivated, mainly at domestic level, have high importance
from a genetic and historical point of view. Recently, 5 maize landraces
from Valle d’Aosta and 2 landraces from the adjacent Canavese (Piedmont)
have been collected and subjected to historic, morphologic and genetic
characterization. These landraces were named after the sampling location as
it follows: Arnad, Arnad-Crest, Chatillon, Entrebin, Perloz, Bianco
Canavese, and Rostrato Canavese.
Firstly, on these 6 varieties the historic characterization has been
carried out. Information and photographs have been searched in local
archives and this was crucial to prove their long presence in all the
sampling sites under study. From this historic reconstruction, the variety
Entrebin resulted as the one that is better historically characterized.
To study the variability and differentiation of landraces from Valle
d’Aosta, the genetic characterization was performed by the means of 10 SSR
markers tested on 20 samples from each landrace. This study highlighted a
significant genetic variability among the landraces and, especially, a good
level of differentiation between the accessions under investigation. This
last result may be explained by the long reproductive isolation experienced
by these materials. Complete morphological characterization is actually
ongoing. Preliminary morphological observations revealed that these
landraces have, generally, flint kernels with the exception of Bianco
Canavese (dent) whose color is variable from white (Bianco Canavese) to
dark red (Chatillon). Arnad landrace showed 8 kernel rows, probably being
an Eight-rowed Flint while the others presented more rows, like many
Derived Races. Interestingly, Perloz and Rostrato Canavese showed kernels
with an apical beak which was more pronounced in the latter. This suggest
that these two landraces belong to the “Rostrata” group, which is common in
mountain areas.
The present work confirms the importance of mountain areas in conserving
biodiversity and increases the rich Italian maize germplasm with materials
well adapted to marginal areas. Such new genetic variability may be used to
breed new materials for a more resilient agriculture.

STUDENTS’ DISCOMFORT: WHAT DID ITALIAN TEACHERS SEE
DURING THE PANDEMIC EMERGENCY?

. Educational poverty is a lack, a non-correspondence between needs
and answers, and it concerns both the individual and the context. The
manifestations of educational poverty encountered by teachers in their daily
work during the pandemic emergency (2019-21) were explored. The prior
objective was to encourage teachers to reflect on their experience and to tell
"what they saw" at school. This paper focuses on the educational fatigue
experienced by teachers when they are face to different kind of students’
discomfort. A semi-structured on-line questionnaire was submitted to all
secondary schools’ teachers in Varese (Italy). Several areas were investigated: -
Students’ discomfort - Family’s fragility - Local context opportunities - Teachers’
self-efficacy - Teachers’ training needs. The data collected (n=365) put in
evidence widespread and heterogeneous manifestations of discomfort which
affected negatively the class managing (45.2%). Even though there are many
teachers who stated that they "did not see" them (%). The teachers do not feel
fully prepared to face these situations and therefore they ask further training in
this area (75%). They know also little about the educational opportunities in the
local context; consequently, (this is our hypothesis) they do not perceive them as
allies in educational poverty prevention. Students discomfort behaviors often
hinder the profitable performance of teaching activities and, in turn, generate
discomfort in teachers; these behaviors have been interpreted in their semiotic
meaning, that is, as messages of a "not well-being"; in this perspective, adults
must manage to listen to students’ voice in order to grasp the meaning of their
behaviors even before going in search of strategies to solve them. The current
"educational crisis" corroborates the need to promote teachers’ educational
identities, by offering stronger training, in order to promote students
development and educational achievement. Furthermore, this educational
challenge cannot be tackled individually but collectively, empowering
community networks inside and outside school.

A coupled continuum-discrete numerical model is proposed to study complex physical systems composed by a set of clusters of different chemical species immersed in a matrix with which they interact. The overall model describes the transient of the basic mechanisms governing the processes of interaction in a two-dimensional micrometer size system. At each time step, the continuum (micrometer scale) model computes the macroscopic temperature field according to the prescribed boundary conditions. The continuum system is discretized with a desired number of uniform computational cells. Each cell contains a number of computational particles which represent the actual particles mixture. The particle-in-cell (discrete) model maps the macroscopic fields from the (continuum) cells to the particles. Chemical reactions and particle dynamics are followed using a molecular dynamics approach. We present results of a recent application of this approach to the simulation of nanoparticles formation in SHS reactors. To investigate the physical conditions under which this phenomenon takes place, we propose a statistical analysis based on the pair distribution function for the particles formed during the reaction. In particular, the dependence of this function on the interaction potential between particles has been investigated. As a demonstration of the effectiveness of the method some paradigmatic examples will be shown.

INTRODUCTION: Music is associated with improved physical performance in a wide range of activities. When music is used during physical activity, it can elicit positive emotions and distract athletes from unpleasant feelings associated with physical exertion and fatigue(1). Some evidence shows no effect of time of day on the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during aerobic performances(2). The aim of this study was to test the influence of self-selected motivational music, and time of training on RPE during a cycling exercise at moderate and vigorous intensity.
METHODS: Forty-seven university students were recruited: 24 males and 23 females (age 22.6±2.4 yrs; BMI 21.9±2.7 kg/m2; V’O2max 39.3±7.6 mlO2/kg/min). All subjects performed four randomized training sessions at two different times of day, with and without self-selected motivational music(3): two sessions in the morning from 8:30 am to 9:30 am (MO+M; MO-M) and two sessions in the evening from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm (EV+M; EV-M). Each training session included 6 min of cycling at constant load at 60% of V’O2max (MOD), interspersed by a 10-min break, and at 90% (VIG) of V’O2max, estimated from a submaximal direct test. At the end of each 6-min bout, CR10 Borg’s scale(4) was administrated to rate fatigue.
RESULTS: RPE was significantly influenced by music, indeed it decreased during exercise performed with self-selected motivational music both at MOD (MO+M: 2.3±1.2; MO-M: 2.6±1.3; EV+M: 2.2±1.1; EV-M: 2.5±1.3; p=0.025) and VIG (MO+M: 6.1±2.0; MO-M: 6.8±1.9; EV+M: 6.5±2.1; EV-M: 6.7±2.0; p=0.001) intensity, regardless of gender. Conversely, time of day did not influence RPE neither at MOD nor at VIG intensity, in both gender.
CONCLUSION: This research, taking into account both the influence of music and of time of day, confirms previous find-ings of a positive effect of motivational music(5) and no influence of time of day(2) on RPE. Exercisers are advised to listen to self-selected motivational music while training, which would help them to feel less fatigue and maintain a better adher-ence to their physical activity program.

Introduction
Recent findings suggest that, in elderly, Intermuscular Adipose Tissue (IMAT) may be associated with inactivity and that exercise training may be able to mitigate the content of IMAT (Murphy et al., 2012; Santanasto et al., 2011). The purpose was to determine how IMAT can be influenced by exercise and if a greater reduction in IMAT occurs with concurrent aerobic High Intensity Training (HIT) and Isoinertial Resistance Training (IRT).
Methods
12 moderately active older adults (age: 69.4±4.3 yy; weight: 78.5±10.5 kg; height: 171.2±5.3 cm; BMI: 22.9±2.7 kg/m2; V'O2max: 29.5±4.1 mL/kg/min) were exposed to 8 weeks of: i) HIT training with 7 two-minute cycling repetitions at 90% of V'O2max, 3 times/week and, after 4 months, ii) IRT performed with an isoinertial leg press (YoYo Technology AB) comprised 4×7 maximal concentric-eccentric knee extensions, 3 times/week. MRI of the mid-thigh was examined to determine changes in muscle composition (Cross Sectional Area (CSA) and IMAT) after exercise intervention using SliceOmatic image analysis software (Rossi et al., 2010). IMAT was defined as adipose tissue area visible between quadriceps muscle groups.
Results
Quadriceps CSA increased significantly after HIT and after IRT by 6% (P<0.05) and 7% (P<0.05) respectively. IMAT decreased after HIT and IRT by 31% (P<0.05) and 41% (P<0.05) respectively. Net thigh lean mass increased significantly after both training by 10% (P<0.05).
Discussion
Our data, in contrast with Jacobs (2014) and Goodpaster (2008) but in agreement with other previous studies (Murphy et al., 2012; Santanasto et al., 2011), show that IMAT decrease after a 8 weeks exercise intervention in older adults both after HIT and IRT. Preliminary data show that exercise training performed at high intensity in older adults may contrast skeletal muscle fat infiltration. Our study is non-randomized, not-counterbalanced and limited by small sample size: additional studies are needed to determine the most effective exercise (type, intensity, modalities) able to decrease IMAT and how this decrease may positively affect health in elderly.

The ‘easy’ task of translating for children. The translator’s responsibility and the pedagogical nature of translated children’s literature
Claudia Alborghetti

Dvoršćak Kavur, T.
Alborghetti, Claudia
Settore M-PED/02 - STORIA DELLA PEDAGOGIA
Translated children’s literature has only recently found scholars that investigated the relationship between translators and young readers, translations as cultural and social products of specific historical periods, the pedagogical nature of translation addressing a young audience, the strategies adopted to make literary works travel among cultures.
Translation, much as literature itself, is never performed in isolation: the translator is a human being that grew up within a specific culture, who occupies a privileged position when translating works written for a young public because s/he is at the same time an ideal reader and the writer of the target text (Lathey, 2010; O’Sullivan, 2005; Shavit, 1986; Klingberg, 1986). The apparently easy task of translation is invested with responsibility for the translator who needs to keep the original author and the receiving audience (adults and children) in mind (Nord, 1991). But if we consider children’s literature as the possibility for young readers to create their own image of the world and reflect on their identity, translation can also foster the potential of a dialogue among translators and readers through the book.
The aim of this paper is to review academic studies in the field of translated children’s literature, focussing on the open dialogue between translators and young readers. This invisible thread can suggest new research areas in children’s literature that can bring this discipline at the centre of academic debate around the pedagogical nature of translation in the growth of passionate and curious readers.

INTRODUCTION: Sedentariness, smoking, alcohol abuse and unbalanced feeding are harmful for health, leading to chronic diseases and
increasing mortality rate. For young adults, University is a new social and cultural context: parents’ imprinting could be easily altered, new
lifestyles take shape and personal choices emerge. Intervention programmes to advance awareness on harmful lifestyle and promote
healthy habits are essential. The #studioxlavita project, launched in 2016 by the University of Brescia with these purposes, investigated
students’ lifestyle, with special emphasis on physical activity .
METHODS: We developed two consecutive facultative surveys, of 15 <1st level> and 52 items <2nd level>, addressed to all the University’s
students. Questions were about leisure time physical activity , use of fitness technology, relationship with friends, classmates and parents,
feed, physical appearance, body self-perception, physical and mental health, use of certain substances or products , night-time rest and
beliefs concerning healthy behaviours. In the 2nd level survey we also adopted the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and the short
form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to estimate the amount of PA carried out in the last 7 days. Students who filled in
both questionnaires received a personal report including the aggregate data analysis, a comparison with other investigations and indications
about healthy habits, according to recommendations and guidelines.
RESULTS: 3,436 out of 15,688 students filled in the1st level survey. Of them, 778 accepted to participate in the 2nd level survey, and 456
completed it. 1st level survey revealed that 72% of the students practised LTPA <45% regularly and 27% occasionally>. LTPA is largely
performed <44% of the student> in non-competitive form, with recreational and/or health purposes. According to IPAQ-SF categorical
score, 24%, 34% and 42% of the students performed low, moderate and high levels of PA, respectively. In 2st level survey, 76% of the
students wished to practise more PA; 42% would participate in practical sport courses.
CONCLUSION: University is an ideal setting for promoting lifestyle change among a captive audience. Intervention programs to increment
PA are acclaimed by students. The students from University of Brescia reported higher LTPA practice than the national average people
between 18 and 34 years <47%, data from Italian National Institute of Statistics, 2015>, although this parameter was assessed with
different methods.

A new family of multivariate centrally symmetric distributions
Luca Bagnato
Antonio Punzo
Bagnato, Luca
Punzo, Antonio
Settore SECS-S/01 - STATISTICA
A family of dimension-wise scaled normal mixtures (DSNMs) is proposed to model the joint distribution of a d-variate random variable with real-valued components. Each member of the family generalizes the multivariate normal (MN) distribution in two directions. Firstly, the DSNM has a more general type of symmetry with respect to the elliptical symmetry of the MN distribution and, secondly, the univariate marginals have similar heavy-tailed normal scale mixture distributions with (possibly) different tailedness parameters. As a consequence of practical interest, the DSNM allows for a different excess kurtosis on each dimension. We examine a number of properties of DSNMs and we describe two members of the DSNM family obtained in the case of components of the mixing random vector being either uniform or shifted exponential. These are examples of mixing distributions that guarantee a closed-form expression for the joint density of the DSNM. For the two DSNMs analyzed in detail, we describe algorithms, based on the expectation-maximization (EM) principle, to estimate the parameters by maximum likelihood. We use real data from the financial and biometrical fields to appreciate the advantages of our DSNMs over other symmetric heavy-tailed distributions available in the literature.

In this study we hypothesized that the human-like interaction level (low vs high) may positively influence individuals’ intentions to use trough the effect of their perceived anthropomorphism. Moreover, by considering the peculiarities of the doctor-patient relationship resulting not only from professionalism, but also from emotionality, empathy, and non-verbal communication, we postulate that such an effect may be moderate by patients’ emotional receptivity.
To test the hypothesis, an experimental design based on a two-cell experiment has been conducted by manipulating the level of human-like interactions in a digital-based healthcare service delivery. Building on previous literature explaining the different level of perceived human-like interaction levels, we manipulate human-like interaction level by exposing half sample to a scenario describing the use of chatbot for healthcare service delivery (low condition). The other half of the sample has been exposed to a scenario describing a Metaverse-based healthcare service delivery in where users are able to interact via their avatars (high condition).

INTRODUCTION: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) appears to be a time-efficient and safe exercise, promoting improvements in aerobic
fitness and in some cardiometabolic risk factors in both healthy subjects or clinical patients1. Acute bouts of exercise have an influence on
cognitive function even if the exercise-cognition relation is complex, depending on the type, duration and intensity of exercise and the
type of the cognitive task required2. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of an acute bout of low volume-high intensity
interval training (LV-HIIT) on visual-spatial ability.
METHODS: Thirty-six healthy active young women (age: 22.0±1.4 yr; BMI: 21.4±1.9 kg/m2; V’O2max: 40.5±3.8 mlO2/kg/min) engaged in
(1) a LV-HIIT session, consisting of 3 repeated 20s Wingate against a resistance of 5.0% body mass interspersed by 2 min of active recovery3
followed by a cognitive training (LV-HIIT, N=18) or (2) a control session, consisting of a same time period of listening to music (CON,
N=18). The day before and immediately after each experimental session, cognitive performance was assessed by the Paper Folding &
Cutting Test (PFC)4 and Mental Rotation Test (MS, MRT)5,6.
RESULTS: A significant (p<0.0001) decrease in mean power output and a significant (p<0.001) rise in Borg Scale were found (mean power:
Bout1 389±45 W, Bout2 373±52 W, Bout3 357±61 W; Borg Scale: Bout1 3±1 RPE, Bout2 4±2 RPE, Bout3 6±2 RPE), detecting an increased
fatigue state in the LV-HIIT group. The time to complete the PFC test was significantly (p<0.05) lower (pre: LV-HIIT 456±129 s, CON 429±129
s; post: LV-HIIT 240±89 s, CON 226±77 s) and the number of errors significantly (p<0.001) decreased in the post test (pre: LV-HIIT 9±3 n,
CON 9±3 n; post: LV-HIIT 13±2 n, CON 12±3 n) compared with pre test for both groups.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that a LV-HIIT session does not impair cognitive performance on visual-spatial ability in healthy
active young women when mediated by cognitive training, confirming, in accordance with Alves7, that cycling could be associated with
enhanced performance after exercise regardless exercise intensity.

Technology represents a relevant challenge for today’s luxury brands. However, although new technologies like smart objects might be useful to improve luxury consumption experiences, their effectiveness from a consumer perspective is still unexplored. In particular, no studies have to date investigated the role of status consumption into the acceptance of new technologies in luxury settings. To fill this gap, two experiments have been conducted to investigate the perceived usefulness of Voice Assistants (VAs) in the contexts of luxury hotels and luxury yachts. The experiments examined the interactive effect of consumers’ openness to technological innovation - operationalized as either consumer’s risk propensity or openness to change - and status consumption orientation on perceived usefulness of VAs. Results showed that openness to technological innovation exerted a positive effect on perceived usefulness, yet this effect decreases in magnitude when consumers have a greater status consumption orientation. Relevant managerial implications for luxury marketers interested in implementing new technologies are discussed.

Towards Sustainable Value Creation in The Beauty Service Ecosystem: Connecting Tensions and Systemic Sustainability Outcomes

Purpose: The beauty industry, like most other industries, face sustainability challenges related to the transition towards a more sustainable service economy. The sustainability challenges have been described as wicked problems where a multidisciplinary and co-creating approach is needed, in order to create sustainable service ecosystems (Field et al., 2021). Furthermore, these challenges entail inherent contradictions, giving rise to tensions (e.g., Smith and Lewis, 2011; Hahn et al., 2015). Previous literature has identified generic organizational tensions (Smith and Lewis, 2011) whereof some particular for corporate sustainability (Hahn et al., 2015). However, there still exists a need to better understand, from a descriptive point of view, industry specific tensions and how they are managed, but particularly, from an instrumental standpoint, the relation between these tensions and the systemic sustainability outcomes they generate (Hahn et al., 2018). By taking a service view on corporate sustainability tensions as arising from multiple resource integrating actors in a service ecosystem (Vargo and Lusch, 2011), we aim to further such an understanding. The research fields on corporate sustainability tensions and sustainable service tend both have a distinct system view in common (e.g., Hahn et al., 2015; Field et al., 2021). As sustainability issues tend to be highly complex and intricate in nature, varying in temporal and spatial dimensions and spanning organizational boundaries, the systems imprint allows for a broader view and recognizing interconnections. Therefore, in this paper, we adopt a service ecosystem view to gain a deeper understanding of the tension in the beauty industry, how they are managed, and the corporate sustainability outcomes they give rise to.
Study design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts a qualitative methodology based on 24 in-depth interviews with several key informants in the beauty service ecosystem, later analyzed using an abductive approach. The collected data was triangulated with those derived from participatory observations and the analysis of secondary data. Furthermore, we have used the system dynamics literature and techniques to iterate a conceptual model based on these tensions, providing a visual overview of the interconnections of the corporate sustainability tensions in the beauty industry, and the resulting sustainability outcomes.
Findings:The study suggests the need for a multi-actor perspective when considering sustainability outcomes in the beauty sector. Moreover, resource interaction and integration are strictly connected to the institutional context in which it develops, and the efforts of the different actors usually results in new institutional and critical arrangements, but in this specific context tensions could arise that has to be addressed. Additionally, the modeling process resulted in a number of propositions, that provide implications for practice to facilitate better and more effective organization towards sustainable service provision, as well as for further research on sustainable service ecosystems.
Implications: By taking a service ecosystems perspective on sustainability tensions, it becomes evident that there is a need to move beyond the strict managerial orientation that has previously dominated the tension-literature. As the tensions and their links to sustainability outcomes is the result of multiple resource integrating actors spanning multiple levels of aggregation in the service ecosystem, the way of addressing them also must be able to surpass the micro-level.
201
Originality/Value:This paper both theoretical and managerial implications for better understanding the dynamics at play in the beauty service ecosystem, and the tensions linked to sustainability outcomes. In the meeting between institutional work conducted by different actors there are opportunities for the creation of new potential resources that could be integrated to co- create value (Vargo and Lusch, 2011) but also difficulties to overcome. Furthermore, we provide new insights on how different institutional arrangements could be seen as opportunities for change and new occurrences for resourcerness (Koskela-Huotari and Vargo, 2016).

High intensity exercise training (HIT) accelerates V’O2 kinetics (VO2k) in older subjects. It is controversial whether IRT may elicit the same adaptation. We explored the effect of HIT and IRT on VO2k and muscle deoxygenation during moderate intensity exercise in older, healthy men. 12 men (68 yy ± 4) were exposed to 8 weeks (3 times a week) of: i) HIT, and, after 4 months, ii) IRT performed with an isoinertial YoYo. Before and after training we measured: i) V’O2 peak (V’O2p); ii) breath-by-breath V’O2 and fractional muscle O2 extraction (∆HHb) of vastus lateralis by quantitative NIRS during step-exercise transitions of moderate intensity. VO2k was modeled by means of a double - exponential function to obtain the time constant (Tau) of its primary component. The normalized ∆HHb to ∆V’O2 ratio (∆HHb/∆V’O2) was calculated as and index of the matching between muscular O2 delivery (VO2m) and uptake (QaO2). V’O2p increased after HIT (29.9 mL min-1 kg-1 ± 4.3 - 32.6 mL min-1 kg-1± 6.0, p<0.05); it was not affected by IRT. Tau decreased after HIT (26.97 s ± 5.54 - 19.63 s ± 4.31, p<0.05); it did not change after IRT. Peak ∆HHb/∆V’O2 was smaller after HIT (1.83 ± 0.63 - 1.23 ± 0.37, p<0.05); it was not affected by IRT. 8 weeks of HIT accelerated V’O2k and improved the matching between QaO2 and VO2m. IRT did not lead to any improvement of ∆HHb/∆V’O2 and left V’O2k unchanged. Results suggest that the acceleration of V’O2k was mainly due to the improved matching of VO2m to QaO2.

According to the 11th Sustainable Development Goal in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Devolopment adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, cities should aim at being inclusive (as well as green and safe), with a special focus on vulnerable groups. For an inclusive city, improving mobility and the related sense of autonomy for visually impaired people (VIP) is therefore a growing challenge. Unfortunately, there is a lack of data examining how urban mobility is experienced and perceived by these category of road users in terms of safety.
Aim of the present research is to investigate the mobility habits and the related perceptions of safety of VIP.
106 VIP from an urban area of Northern Italy took part in a semi-structured telephone interview. The interview explored the use of public transport (PT), the experience with transport services organized by volunteers, the representation of pedestrian walks and the perceptions of risk and safety related to the different modes of travel.
The key findings showed that 10% of the sample did not feel safe when walking at all, 30% feel safe only when walking with a companion and the remaining 60% feel safe also when walking independently. Regarding PT use, 20% of respondents do not use it, and among those who do, 52% do not feel safe.
The collected results provide useful information for planning the spatial layout of urban environments and developing urban infrastructure and innovative devices and sensors based on the subjective perception of risk and safety, so as to promote inclusive mobility.

Previous studies suggest that exercise performed on curve surface treadmill (CT) can increase energy expenditure more than exercise performed on a traditional motorized treadmill (MT). However, to date, there are no data about energy cost that confirm this hypothesis. Thus, the purpose of the study is to analyze the physiological requirements of walking and running on a CT as compared to a traditional MT.
26 subjects (11M + 15W) (24.1±3.4yy; 64.7±11.2kg; 171.1±8.6cm) performed preferred walking speed test and running ramp test to exhaustion on both treadmill in two separated sessions.
The gross energy cost of walking (Cw) is greater (p<.05) in CT than in MT (3.79±0.35 j/m/kg, 2.43±0.38 j/m/kg, respectively). The gross energy cost of running (Cr) is greater (p<.05) in CT than in MT (5.05±1.67 j/m/kg, 4.09±0.70 j/m/kg, respectively). Moreover, MT allows to reach higher speeds than CT (MT:15.5±1.7 km/h, CT:13.9±1.4 km/h, p<.05) with lower peak blood lactate concentrations (MT: 8.98±2.43 mmol/L, CT: 10.75±2.76 mmol/L, p<.05).
Our data confirm that i) the Cw, matched for speed, is greater in CT than MT; ii) the Cr, analyzed during incremental ramp test, is greater in CT than MT; iii) during the ramp test, for the same metabolic load, the mechanical load is lower in the CT compared to MT. The increased physical effort is due to the greater frictional characteristics and force generation requirements inherent with the use of a CT.

Introduction Experimental evidence suggests that High Intensity Interval Training (HIT, high intensity - low volume exercise) may be effective
in accelerating the dynamic response pulmonary O2 uptake (V’O2) in older subjects through an improvement of the matching between
local O2 delivery and uptake (Williams et al., 2013). This study explores the effect of HIT on V’O2 kinetics and muscle deoxygenating
during step transitions of moderate intensity, cycling exercise in older, healthy men. Methods 12 moderately active older adults (68-yy ± 4)
were exposed to 8 weeks of HIT training with 7 two-minute repetitions at 40 and 90% of V ̇O2max, 3 times a week. Before and after
training we measured: i) V’O2 peak (V’O2p), gas exchange threshold (GET) and respiratory compensation point (RCP) during an incremental
test up to exhaustion; ii) breath-by-breath V’O2 and change of fractional muscle O2 extraction (ΔHHb) of vastus lateralis by quantitative
NIRS during three step-exercise transitions performed at a workload corresponding to 90% of GET. V’O2 kinetics was modeled, after
synchronization and overlapping of the three series, by means of a double - exponential function so that we estimated the time constant
(Tau) of the primary component of VO2 kinetics. Finally, the normalized ΔHHb to ΔV’O2 ratio was obtained as index of the matching
between muscular O2 delivery and uptake (De Roia et al., 2012; Murias et al., 2011). Results V’O2max increased by 9% (29.9 mL min-1 kg-1
±4.3 - 32.6 mL min-1 kg-1± 6.0, p<0.01, ES 0.51) after 8 weeks of HIT. RCP (respiratory compensation point, per cent of V’O2max) significantly
improved by 10% (76.4 % ± 8.3 - 82.9 % ± 4.9, p<0.05, ES 0.97); Tau decreased by about 26% (26.97 s ± 5.54 - 19.63 s ± 4.31,
p<0.001, ES 1.48), suggesting a substantial acceleration of V’O2 kinetics; peak value of ΔHHb to ΔV’O2 ratio was smaller after HIT (∼ 29%)
(1.83 ± 0.63 - 1.23 ± 0.37, p<0.01, ES 1.17). Discussion This study shows that 8 weeks of HIT were sufficient to induce a significant acceleration
of V’O2 kinetics during moderate intensity exercise and to improve the matching between muscular O2 delivery and uptake in older,
healthy men. These results suggest that the acceleration of the dynamic response of aerobic metabolism was due to an improved
matching of O2 utilization to microvascular delivery. References Williams AM, Paterson DH, Kowalchuk JM. (2013) J Appl Physiol 114,

Come evidenziato dalla letteratura le reti sono un importante strumento per lo sviluppo imprese (Snehota, 2008), soprattutto per le PMI. Le forme di aggregazione tra le imprese sono plurime e tra queste riscontriamo i clusters, gli ecosystems, le strategic nets (Möller and Halinen, 2017) e i network (Håkansson et al., 2009). Le diverse forme di rete possono differenziarsi per la loro estensione geografica (ridotta nei cluster o cross sectoral network), possono richiedere impegni da parte dei membri o possono prevedere forme più partecipative di collaborazione. In generale, a reti più strutturate (Matapoulos et al. 2005) corrisponde una maggior definizione dei partner, degli obiettivi, dei valori. Infatti, le strategic nets, a differenza dei network (Möller and Halinen, 2017) sono caratterizzate da un approccio top down ed è presente una lead organization che supporta i processi e l’esecuzione delle attività. I consorzi, inoltre, sono aggregazioni che permettono ad imprese simili di cooperare usufruendo di alcuni benefici (incremento della conoscenza, innovatività, servizi di supporto) a prezzi calmierati (Rapaccini et al. 2019).
Come avviene per l’impresa, anche la rete può essere analizzata considerando il ciclo di vita. Santos e Baptista (2021) hanno mostrato come alcuni autori abbiano individuato in media dalle 4 alle 7 fasi, suddividendo pertanto la vita di una rete in stadi di preparazione, di creazione, sviluppo, consolidamento, stagnazione e declino. Ogni modello teorico ha utilizzato approcci differenti analizzando la vita di una rete secondo un ciclo biologico o focalizzandosi sull’evoluzione delle relazioni tra gli attori nel tempo: su questo tema alcuni contributi si sono più concentrati su aspetti di negoziazione tra i partner selezionati (Ring e Van de Ven 1994)
nella combinazione delle risorse, altri sull’importanza della creazione di ingaggio e fiducia tra gli attori (Spekman et al. 1998; Zineldin 2002) attraverso processi di adattamento reciproco (Håkansson and Snehota, 1995) per la co-creazione di valore (Eikebrokk et al., 2021).
In particolar modo, le strategic nets, a differenza dei network, sono spesso caratterizzate da un vincolo temporale determinato dal raggiungimento dell’obiettivo: sebbene quindi esse possano avere fasi “dormienti” o “bloccate”, il loro ciclo di vita si caratterizza spesso dallo scioglimento dell’alleanza (Tunisini, 2017).
Precedenti contributi hanno analizzato l’intero ciclo di vita delle reti soffermandosi poco sulle fasi iniziali: la ricerca vuole pertanto identificare i driver che portano alla formazione della rete e verificare se gli stessi possano supportare anche la crescita e il mantenimento di questa forma di collaborazione strategica.

Improving remote communication has been essential for organizations. SARS-CoV-2 pandemic fiercely accelerated the digital transition for recruitment processes. Despite this, small research was conducted to study this evolution. In this study, we explored neurophysiological differences in job interviews (4 phases: introductory, attitudinal, technical, feedback), delivered in face-to-face vs. remote conditions, on recruiters (n1=10) and potential candidates (n2=10). EEG (delta, theta, alpha, beta bands) and autonomic (heart rate, HR, skin conductance level and response SCL, SCR) data were simultaneously collected in the dyads during a simulated job interview. At an individual level, recruiters showed increased frontal theta activity, usually linked to socioemotional processing. Face-to-face conditions showed increased SCL and theta power in the central-brain cortex. We then focused on the dyads by computing intra-and inter-brain connectivity. Analyses suggest a link between face-to-face conditions and greater intra- inter-brain connectivity in low-frequency bands. Moreover, low frequencies and autonomic synchronization were higher in the last interview phases. Results call to re-examine the impact of technology and the value of electrophysiology to assess interindividual processes.

Interoceptive Attentiveness induces significantly more PFC activation during synchronized tasks as revealed by functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
Angioletti, Laura

Settore M-PSI/02 - PSICOBIOLOGIA E PSICOLOGIA FISIOLOGICA
Embodied awareness exercises incorporating Interoceptive Attentiveness (IA) have been shown to provide cognitive, affective, and motor benefits, and these effects have been associated with activation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). However, it has yet to be determined whether, in order to empower the PFC neural substrate, these interoceptive exercises should be performed at rest or during a specific cognitive task. This study explored the effects of an IA condition combined with a simple breath, motor, and cognitive synchronization task on PFC hemodynamics. During the explicit IA and control conditions, healthy participants conducted breath, motor, and cognitive synchronization tasks, while oxygenated (O2Hb) hemoglobin concentration was measured using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Greater levels of O2Hb were found in the PFC during the explicit IA compared to the control condition. This effect was especially found in the cognitive task compared to the simple breath and motor synchronization tasks. This research has implications for rehabilitation professionals who use therapeutic treatments (speech therapy and physiotherapy), as it suggests that combining IA with a cognitive synchronization task (e.g., a simultaneous vocal exercise) can boost PFC responsiveness.

The aim of the article is to analyze this kind of comic strips, focusing on the advertisements of Durban’s oral hygiene products and their textual and visual narrative, to question the underlying educational message. By the analysis of the past seasons of the "Corriere dei Piccoli" magazine, kept at the Sormani Library of Milan, we can point out the message proposed in these comics strips, both educational and playful, in order to encourage the good hygiene practices. Moreover, the visual material reveals the cultural context of this kind of advertising, highlighting the use of ethnic and cultural stereotypes in a process of racialization of the idea of hygiene.

Digital written feedback to promote motivation and engagement. A case study in Higher Education
Triacca, S
Petti, L
Triacca, Serena
Petti, Livia
Settore M-PED/03 - DIDATTICA E PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE
The scientific literature highlights that feedback is one of the most important factors in supporting study and promoting academic achievement. Indeed, it provides the students with information about their own learning, also making them aware of both the level of understanding achieved and the gap to the goal. Providing formative feedback in progress is relevant: pointing out strengths and weaknesses in one's work allows learners to understand whether they are moving in the right direction and to develop metacognitive awareness. A key element is learner accountability to feedback: the receipt of it should not in fact be viewed passively, but it is important for the learner to reflect and act proactively on the feedback provided in order to use it productively, which requires the learner to be engaged and feedback literate. In higher education, motivation can be shaped by feedback on performances and thus be able to affect the achievement of learners. Students, in fact, benefit from feedback when they perceive that paying attention to it will move them from their current state to their desired state, increasing self-efficacy. Receiving feedback on one's performance is an invaluable part of the learning process that advantages students far more than simply receiving appreciation or punishment. When feedback focuses on the task exerts a positive influence on performance, facilitating the process of knowledge construction: besides fixing mistakes, it allows the learner to monitor his or her own progress by regulating learning. Written feedback is crucial, as it becomes the absolute empirical link that can be examined to reveal the teacher's intentions and ultimately provide the learner with a key to interpret the messages.
The context of the case study is the laboratory of "Educational Technology" (1 CFU) delivered in a.y. 2022/23. It is a compulsory course included in the first year of the blended master's degree course in "Media Education" at Catholic University of Milan. The laboratory aims to introduce students to the design of e-learning courses through online hands-on activities. Structured in five classroom meetings, it required the 22 enrolled students, divided into groups, to design a blended course starting from a provided scenario, working collaboratively in Google Drive over four weeks. The teacher provided written feedback in progress, using the "comments" function. In order to gather students' perceptions of the working method adopted, an exploratory survey was conducted at the end of the course by administering a semi-structured anonymous questionnaire using CAWI methodology (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing). The purpose of the study is to understand how much the teacher's release of written feedback helped students feel motivated and involved in their participation at the lab.

Constructing destination images in cultural tourism live streaming
Angela Antonia Beccanulli
Beccanulli, Angela Antonia
Settore SECS-P/08 - ECONOMIA E GESTIONE DELLE IMPRESE
Travel influencers are the primary destination endorsers in destination digital marketing strategies. However, tourism live streamers (TLS) are emerging as new influential figures in this realm. They construct more comprehensive and perceived authentic destination images, inspiring viewers to physically visit the broadcasted locale. This study, within the context of cultural tourism, explores through a netnographic approach the visual and discursive strategies of place presentation employed by TLSs to construct
these inspiring destination images. It also delves into viewers’ reactions to cultural tourism live streaming to understand the meanings and desires elicited by these broadcasts. Findings highlight that destination images in cultural tourism live streaming are crafted according to the different combination of three standardized segments (destination’s street-view; sight-seeing; dramatization of the cultural experience).
These segments trigger in viewers desires for acculturation, a sense of nostalgia, inspiration for future physical travels, willingness for self-disclosure, as well as a feeling of proximity and vicarious travel when injected with dramatization by TLSs.

Innovating policies and government in an Italian region. Lombardy’s model of governance
MAZZOLENI M
COLOMBO A
Regional Studies Association
Mazzoleni, Martino
Colombo, Alessandro Maria
Settore SPS/04 - SCIENZA POLITICA
In the past ten years, extensive powers and competences have been devolved to Italy’s twenty regions. The region of Lombardy, which is characterised by high levels of both prosperity and complexity and whose society is particularly lively, has been the most decidedly resolute to experiment and build up an original governance system. It has done so by interpreting its role as junction of local and global dynamics, of inter-personal, social, and economic relations. Most of the regions’ legislative, political, and administrative strategic decisions have been moulded by a vision founded on certain values, above all the principle of subsidiarity. This has come to be known as “the Lombard model”. In its action,
the Lombardy government has – not always successfully – challenged Italy’s established administrative practices and policy contents (characterised by topdown approach, policy uniformity, and bureaucratic culture), but also the
traditional way of conceiving regions as mere replications at a lower scale of the state architecture and actions.
This paper provides a concise overview of the Lombardy region’s experience of government during the past 12 years. It does not consist of either an exhaustive account of relevant events and policies, or an assessment of the model itself, but rather of a starting point for a wider reflection on the role of the regions.
The study of the Lombard model, from both the theoretical and empirical point of view, is underdeveloped. Thanks to a review of the available documents as well as several interviews, this paper illustrates the main features of this model (its political, juridical, and social contexts; its underlying principles; its main policy goals, actions, and instruments; and its criticalities and challenges) and sketches out a preliminary comparison with models offered in the literature on governance and policy-making. It shows how the Lombard experience may be characterized as a best practice of a new role for regional governments which overcomes at the same time both ‘old’ and ‘new’ regionalisms: the assertive role of the regional political leadership does not lie in portraying Lombardy and governing it as a small-scale nation-state, yet rather in designing and practising a new pattern of relationship between government and society. Thus, Lombardy shows that a region can experiment in an original model of governance from which not only other regions, but also states may learn.

Phomopsis cane and leaf spot disease (PCLS) is one of the most important grapevine diseases in Montenegro and is re-emerging in other European areas, including Italy. It occurs every year and causes considerable damage. Recently, a bilateral project for ‘Italy-Montenegro Joint Science And Technology Cooperation’ in the area Agriculture and Food Sciences was settled up in order to develop and calibrate a new model for PCLS management. The VITISUST Project is supported by Foreing Affaris Ministries of both Countries. In 2018, studies about overwintering structures of the pathogen were carried out in continuation of previous studies conducted in 2016 and 2017, then a weather-driven model has been developed for predicting Diaporthe ampelina infection. The model is based on a mechanistic approach: the model splits the life cycle of D. ampelina into different state variables and changes from one state to the following depend on environmental conditions by means of mathematical equations. In 2019 and 2020 model evaluation was performed in Italy and Montenegro in specific experimental fields. The disease assessment was performed on typical varieties Barbera and Vranac in Italy and Montenegro, respectively, both trained at double guyot by mean of a visual assessment at dormant stage (i.e. presence and type of symptoms on canes) and during the growing season (i.e. symptoms appearance on leaves and shoots). First symptoms were observed 22 and 19 days after bud break in Montenegro and Italy, respectively, and the final disease incidence was 54.3 % and 50.5 % of the shoots, respectively. The highest disease severity was observed on shoots in the basal and apical sector of the winter cane (curved down) while the shoots developed from the buds located on the top of the cane curve were not affected. This could be explained with the stem-flow effect caused by rainfall that floods pycnidia at the top cane positions and spread the pycnidiospores. After further validation, confirming the effectiveness of the PCLS model, it will be implemented in the decision support system vite.net®, which is currently used by hundreds of growers across Europe for managing other relevant grape diseases.

Neuroassessment in sports: towards a threefold model on physical-psychological-neurocognitive fitness

Profiling of athletes’ psycho-physical traits is a crucial step in planning, implementing, and monitoring their training schedule. Performance data may provide relevant and reliable information to evaluate athletes’ progress over time and/or rank them against their peers, and to help to profile their strengths/weaknesses, to adapt protocols to their needs, and to identify talent. Yet, the topics of assessment and, specifically, of its implementation in practice are still quite controversial. Indeed, despite the role of neural-cognitive load in modulating performance outcomes, assessment procedures to evaluate athletes’ current performance and their potential often move those factors to the background while focusing primarily on physical determinants of performance and basic physiological measures. Here we introduce a multifaceted model for the definition of performance in sports by pairing the more established constructs of physical fitness and psychological fitness with the construct of neurocognitive fitness. Such a model might foster a perspective change from traditional assessment to neuroassessment, which we identify with the integration of self-report, observational, and physiological measures to sketch the profile of athletes’ neurocognitive efficiency

The analysis of the global food trade system holds tremendous significance due to substantial increases in food and agricultural production since the latter half of the 20th century. This growth has been fuelled by factors such as population expansion, economic development, technological advancements, and evolving dietary preferences. Simultaneously,
we face challenges arising from the imperative to sustainably nourish a
growing global population while safeguarding natural resources and ecosystems. Striking the balance between ensuring food supply and mitigating environmental harm has become a critical dilemma. The agri-food system serves as both an influencer of ecological shifts and a susceptible entity to climate destabilization, underscoring the need
for sustainable production practices. Within this framework, network analysis emerges as a valuable instrument for comprehending the dynamics of global food trade. It aids in identifying pivotal stakeholders, trade patterns, vital relationships, and pertinent factors.
This analysis regards the structure and evolution of the global food trade network.
Remarkable insights have been unveiled in this domain. Research has probed into the attributes and development of the trade network concerning a wide spectrum of agricultural products as well as specific commodities. Investigations into the virtual water networks associated with agricultural products have been conducted, alongside the identification of community structures. Community detection proves invaluable in grasping the intricate framework of the global food trade. Indeed, several papers explored trade patterns, the formation of communities, the dynamics of the global food system, and potential related shocks (for instance, see [1], [6],[7],[11]).
Unlike the existing literature, this paper presents a multi-step approach that combines a community detection method with a supervised learning methodology. The purpose is to identify communities within the agri-food trade network and to ascertain the primary drivers influencing the composition of these communities. To this end, we use a dataset sourced from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The analysis covers the period from 1986 to 2020 and involves creating temporal directed and weighted networks where countries are nodes and directed weighted edges represent trade volumes or monetary values between pairs of countries within a given year. This approach allows for an initial exploration of the evolving topology of the trade network. The analysis considers aggregate total flow across various commodities, providing an overview of global trade patterns and identifying average factors influencing agri-food network behaviour. As a subsequent step, for each year, we apply the InfoMap methodology [10] to identify communities of countries. Differing from conventional modularity maximization, this information-theoretic approach is rooted in flows and is particularly suited to trade contexts where flow patterns play a pivotal role. This partitioning is contingent on the flow established through network connections, providing a representation of the evolution of countries’ interconnections within the global food system. The identification of communities serves as an initial step towards comprehending intricate systems.
In the concluding phase, our focus shifts to characterising these communities based on shared attributes among their constituents. Characterisation can be challenging due to potential heterogeneity among system elements. To address this complexity, we follow a
multi-step process. Firstly, we associate attributes with nodes, encompassing economic, demographic, social, geographical, and meteorological aspects. Secondly, we employ a random forest methodology [3] to identify variables that explain community composition.
Lastly, we merge the InfoMap-derived communities with the pertinent variables identified by the random forest analysis. This combined approach enables measurement of attribute over-expression (see [12]) within communities across different time periods. This methodology allows us to analyse community evolution over time in the global agri-food system and pinpoint primary drivers guiding this evolution.

Objectives. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the global economy to facing an unprecedented crisis that has negatively impacted most industries and pushed several companies to rethink the way they develop and maintain their relationships with their stakeholders. Quickly spreading across the globe, the virus generated a world pandemic with repercussions still difficult to estimate. In Italy, as in the rest of the world, the impact of this pandemic has affected all sectors of the society, especially the economic one generating an unprecedent stock reaction (Baker et al. 2020). Nowadays, it is difficult to establish the severity of the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic is having on marketing, as the economy is today starting to recover after several weeks of lockdown. During the lockdown period, digital communications and online platforms have been key to maintain and develop business and personal relationships. In this context, communications, and information technology (IT) and social media represent key channels to invest in, as they are transforming the ways in which individuals and companies search for information and interact with one another (Kietzmann et al. 2011). In the last decades, a radical change entails the growing influence of digital technologies in customer purchasing decisions (Lingqvist et al. 2015). Hence, in this study we focus on the digital technologies role in marketing activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our research (1) provides insights into the current marketing automation and sales technologies implemented by companies,(2) assesses the level of integration between physical and virtual touchpoints and cross...

Lewis Carroll’s The Nursery Alice in Translation: A Time-based Exploration of a New Reading Paradigm for Young Children in Italy

Settore M-PED/02 - STORIA DELLA PEDAGOGIA
Lewis Carroll’s The Nursery Alice (1890), a rewriting of the well-known Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), is a remarkable anticipation of reading interaction between adults and children “aged from Nought to Five”, as the author wrote in his preface to the book. Recent research focused on the alternate fortune of The Nursery Alice and emphasised the time span in which the idea for this book developed in Carroll’s literary projects. Carroll conceived a text that maintained only a superficial resemblance with its “elder sister” and interrogated a dual audience of adults (the actual readers) and children (the receptors) on the illustrations
scattered throughout the book. The preponderance of the colourized illustrations over the text, as well as the ways in which the narrator invites the audience to use the book, anticipate the modern conception of books as physical tools to introduce very young children to a positive attitude towards reading. The Nursery Alice soon went out of print and many years passed until a new reprint reappeared on the market in the mid-20th century. In Italy, this book took longer to be translated and published in two distinct versions with new illustrations and translations in 1992 and 2017. This paper wishes to explore the reasons behind these translations based on the cultural approach to translation as an indicator of social, economic and political shifts offered by Bassett and Lefevere, tracing a timeline in the educational evolution that had to occur in Italy in order to
produce them. Alice dei bambini first and Alice dei piccoli later, reflect the recent pedagogical approach to “emergent literacy” as an opportunity to study the developmental attitude of pre-readers towards reading material and their relationship with competent adults. As stated by Chartier, quality children’s literature is meant to initiate young readers to savour “slow reading”, encouraging constant re-reading. Therefore, a reading canon of classics seems to support this role of “cultural initiator” to prepare young readers to more complex texts. In Italy, this initiation process started around the end of the 20th century, and a growing awareness of the importance of early literacy in more recent years has prompted adults as mediators to produce, disseminate, buy (or lend), read books and interact with pre-readers using a wide variety of sources. To this end, small, independent publishing houses promoted series specifically designed to introduce rewritings of classics to a dual audience, as is the case for the two translations mentioned. The paratextual material is indicative of the diffusion and reception network intended for these volumes. From a textual point of view, the translations show a distinct shift in the intended audience: in Alice dei bambini the narrator speaks to a group of people, in Alice dei piccoli it addresses a single reader. This is only one of the numerous instances of adaptation that suggest how a change in the conception of the development of very young children’s reading skills promoted the creation of a new literary vision of The Nursery Alice.

Thinking in a creative way, and in particular the ability to think “divergently”, is crucial for the elaboration and implementation of new and functional strategies and may represent a crucial component in promoting wellbeing and autonomy in ageing. Structural and functional changes due to ageing may affect this ability, leading to a progressive cognitive decline. However, several activities (i.e. mental, physical, social etc) may contribute to increasing lifelong cognitive reserve (CR) which represents a protective factor against cognitive decline. According to literature, divergent thinking (DT), that is a multi-component construct that includes both executive and memory processes, stimulates several cognitive domains, representing an important component of cognitive reserve in older adults. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between DT, CR and psychological wellbeing in ageing. We collected measures of visual and verbal DT, CR, perceived well-being, and depression in a sample of 95 healthy Italian older adults (age: M=73.2; DS=6.48; educational level: M=10.8; DS=4.20; 54 women). Results pointed out that figural DT is negatively correlated with depression and positively correlated with CR. As expected, significant positive correlations emerged between CR and wellbeing scores. Mediation analysis showed that participants’ perceived wellbeing is significantly predicted by the figural DT and CR interaction. Figural and verbal DT differentially impact CR, and therefore on wellbeing, suggesting potential novel implications for the promotion of active ageing and for clinical interventions addressed to patients affected by cognitive impairments.

Designing Fourth Place: Where Sustainable Service Ecosystem exists

Settore SECS-P/08 - ECONOMIA E GESTIONE DELLE IMPRESE
Purpose: The question of place – ‘where’ sustainability is performed – is a particularly interesting, but relatively unexplored theme in service research (Field et al. 2021). The current service ecosystem design (SED) research leaves the ‘where’ question relatively underexplored – and we posit that such spatial understanding is required for sustainable SED research to realize its full potential. The existing research posits that SED unfolds through collective processes, enabling various actors to shape institutional arrangements and their physical enactments (Koskela-Huotari et al. 2021; Vink et al. 2021). Thus, SED is doubly a spatial affair: it unfolds in a physical and social space, and the spatial elements themselves are also subject to design efforts. However, we still do not know how different physical and social spaces influence SED processes. Thus, we cannot say much about where sustainable service ecosystem design is – or should be – unfolding. In a similar vein, there is limited understanding of how the physical enactments of institutional arrangements should be designed in service ecosystems for improved sustainability outcomes. This is a crucial gap in understanding as ‘whom’ and ‘what’ a service ecosystem serves are questions firmly embedded in ‘where’: places and spaces (Holmes, Fernandes, and Palo 2021). the purpose of this paper is to examine the spatial aspects of sustainable SED. In particular, we seek to answer the following two research questions. First, what mechanisms occur in the places where sustainable SED unfolds? Second, what features characterize places where sustainable SED unfolds?
Study design/Methodology/Approach:The present study uses a qualitative case study methodology (Stake 1995; Yin 2012). The empirical material comprises of three longitudinal, in- depth case studies. As the study is exploratory, the aim of the sampling was to illuminate the phenomenon under study as comprehensively as possible. In total, we conducted 30 semi- structured interviews to key informants from both cases.
Findings: According to our empirical findings, a novel concept of place where sustainable SED unfolds emerges: the fourth place. Fourth places, where to experience sustainability in the making, are specifically designed to foster sustainability-related work.
Implications: This paper provides a significant contribution by introducing a new type of places, fourth places, thus updating the literature on third places and spatial typologies with a novel concept able to capture contemporary societal changes (Morisson 2019). Fourth places, where sustainability can be experienced while it is in the making, reflect the increasing need for individuals and organizations in contemporary society to rethink new forms of spaces and places, dynamically enacting and advancing intentions, attitudes, and behaviors to live more sustainably and address UN’s SDGs successfully.
Originality/Value: In the context of existing potential fourth places, we propose a conceptual framework. In this framework we consider several mechanisms and characteristics that are such that they should be present in all fourth places for them to function well in the long term. The conceptual framework can be used as a blueprint to guide the design efforts of new fourth place.

From tutored to self-paced MOOCs: reflections and perspectives
Ferrari, Simona

Settore M-PED/03 - DIDATTICA E PEDAGOGIA SPECIALE
Literature highlights the existence of different pedagogical formats of MOOCs dealing with two broad categories: instructor-paced and self-paced. Generally, the former are characterized by a course path designed by the teacher, gradual release of contents, a set calendar and deadlines for learner completion of course components, fixed-schedule retention and work-load and tutor support. In self-paced MOOCs, students can proceed at their own pace not least because all the contents are available from the beginning. A common issue deals with the low retention value, reaching 5-10%; an increasing trend of studies on this topic among 2016-2021 lead to map the factors that affect retention, distinguishing them into external (motivation, perceived usefulness, social influence) and internal (covering content, perceived enjoyment, infrastructure). Ihantola et al. recognized a better overall retention rate (45%) in instructor-paced than its self-paced counterpart (13%). The other common feature is to require individual learners to be able to self-regulate their learning, determining when and how to engage. Course design factors influence learners’ self-directed learning and commitment above all in self-paced MOOCs. Since 2014 seven different MOOCs have been released by CREMIT and ILAB of Catholic University. In this contribution we will focus on three MOOCs shifted from “tutored” to “self-paced” modality over the years. The design of the tutored MOOCs changed specifically with respect to timing (contents release, duration), role of the tutor, suggested activities, discussion board orientation. The purpose of the exploratory study is to understand whether and what design elements of self-paced MOOCs need to be strengthened to ensure an effective learning experience. From the universe of reference (17 editions), the study focuses on a sample of 6 editions, 3 tutored and 3 self-paced, released in the last three years. A web-based survey, composed of 16 multiple-choice items organized in several areas (personal information, customer satisfaction, role acted in the course, perception of other participants), was made available to all subscribers. In the survey of self-paced MOOCs, a specific question was added to assess the perceived influence of some elements of the design on the learning process. Overall satisfaction between tutored and self-paced MOOCs maintains high average values. Values are also high with respect to several design elements. In this scenario four elements are unexpected in self-paced MOOCs, compared to tutored MOOCs: with respect to the average time spent consulting each module, a significant increase is evident in those spending more than 4 hours (18,22%, compared to 5% of MOOCs tutored); changes in self-perception as a participant by shifting toward more participatory behaviors (-8,59% “the silent”; +5,27% “the entrepreneurial”; +4,57% “the altruist”); a significant increase of involvement in a learning community (+12,67% reports feeling “fully involved”); openness of the MOOC seems to be not understood (“autonomy in using of the materials” is not a decisive factor for those who have completed the course -31,22%; “lack of time” is considered the main cause of non-completion +34,23%). In perspective, in the re-design process we will focus on supporting users to build awareness about the meaning of the attendance of a self-paced MOOC and on “educating for participation”, through delivering propaedeutic module (“module zero”), testing a chatbot to run an informative function, developing HTML-based contents and soft tutoring, in order to foster involvement through interactivity and feedback.

Digital Literacy, Accessibility and Connectivity in Rural Areas: the case of young people in Italy, Portugal and Spain

Settore M-PSI/05 - PSICOLOGIA SOCIALE
In a society in which communication is increasingly mediated by ICTs, digital literacy, accessibility and connectivity becomes crucial, especially for young people living in rural and/or isolated environments. Promoting digital inclusion of young people in rural contexts requires, first of all, policies that promote democratisation of access and use of digital tools, in order to overcome a set of barriers, such as accessibility - investment in the acquisition of electronic equipment, such as a computer, for example, which is not always accessible to families; connectivity - many rural and remote areas still have poor internet coverage; literacy - it is necessary to provide young people with a set of skills which enable them to the use of ICTs and the internet (Ferreira & Vieira, 2020). As described above, the use of digital media presents new challenges for young people, as e-learning and social networks are transforming social relationships. Nevertheless, the use of ICT provides several advantages, such as the elimination of physical barriers, access to less costly training, or increased cooperation and communication as well as negative effects range from inequality and social exclusion (Pagani et al., 2016) to cyber-aggression (Mishna et al., 2018), technology addiction (Lachmann et al., 2018), and poorer learning and academic outcome (Hawi & Samaha, 2016). As digital natives, advanced ICT skills can give young people a competitive edge over the rest of society in terms of employment opportunities.
Contemporary young people are also called Digital Natives, thus expecting them to have better digital skills than the rest of the population.These expectations, however, are illusory, or at least are limited exclusively to a small part of technology use, the more recreational one or to a relatively small sample of the youth population. In fact, there is evidence that socioeconomic factors affect the level of young people’s digital skills, thus creating a digital divide among them. From an intrapersonal perspective, ICT is changing social interactions. Social media involves creating a digital life and personality which can affect young people’s well-being. To respond to these challenges, digital skills now form part of the curriculum of schools and higher education institutions.
In summary, technology is particularly important for young people, specially for those living in rural areas, as it can mitigate the differences from young people living in urban areas, in what concerns, for example the access to resources on digital platforms or the access to online services on education and employment.
This paper intends to map and reflect the situation of ICT in Rural areas, regarding accessibility, connectivity and literacy, and how this can promote or limit young people's opportunities and deepening inequalities. Our analysis focuses on the situation of three southern European countries (Italy, Portugal and Spain). It was decided to consider these countries for two principal reasons. The first is related to geographical origin: southern Europe. The second is related to the fact that they share several characteristics in common: welfare states (Castels, 1995; Ferrera, 1996; Rhodes, 1997); similar labour market indicators dynamics; political democratic systems (Pridham, 1984; Hopkin, 2001); bureaucracies (Sotiropoulos, 2004) and, of course, the characteristics of the administrations themselves.
In terms of methodology, we will focus on secondary data analysis using international and national databases (Eurostat, ILO, OECD, etc.) on digitalisation.

Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery approach, is a new surgical technique used by otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons to resect pituitary adenoma (PA). The most challenging aspect is related to the fact that the strategy of the resection changes according to the hardness of PAs, which is mostly soft, but it can also be harder (fibrous adenoma). This work proposes a first attempt to develop an alternative and innovative sensorized probe capable to discern the different hardness of soft materials. The proposed solution can be implemented in training models in order to give feedback to the users. The probe was developed thanks to additive manufacturing Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. Inside the probe there is a magneto resistive sensor and a magnet that is glued on the tip in order to measure the variation of the magnetic field linked to the movement of the magnet. After a preliminary electrically characterization of the probe, tests were conducted with three different silicones with slightly different Shore A attested hardness in order to verify if the probe is able to discern the materials. The first results show a high repeatability with a mean variation < 1%. Future work will be conducted with ex-vivo samples of pituitary adenomas in order to characterize their hardness and to classify the different types of PAs with a hardness parameter, and also to find the best material to mimic the consistency for training models.

INTRODUCTION: Sedentariness is a major health problem in our time and physical activity promotion is an imperative commitment for
healthcare systems. Recommendations from WHO indicate a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise as weekly
standard for adults. Strategies to increment PA practice are implemented in different settings, such as house care, school, University and
workplace. The project #studioxlavita <#SXLV> was launched by the University of Brescia in 2016 with the aim of collecting data about
undergraduates lifestyle and encourage healthy behaviours. In particular we focused on PA assessment and promotion in a Universitybased
setting.
METHODS: Two consecutive surveys were sent to all students . Q0 included the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire
, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and additional questions on several lifestyle aspects. Among responders, we selected 40
students who agreed to take part in one of the following 15-week practical sport courses: ultimate frisbee, muscle strengthening and
dance fitness. Before and after being engaged in practical sport courses, students underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test and skinfold
thickness measurements, in order to assess peak oxygen consumption and percent body fat . Finally, to assess possible lifestyle changes,
we sent them additional surveys at the end of the practical sport courses and 30 days after . Paired t-test was used to analyse significant
differences.
RESULTS: 27 students <16 female, 11 male; age: 22.7±3.7> concluded sport activity courses and filled in Q1. Of them, 20 completed also
Q2. Overall courses attendance was 57%. At T1 , normalized Q̇O2peak increased with respect to T0 <37.0±6.9 vs 35.2±7.4 ml/min/Kg,
p=0.03>. Conversely, percent body fat decreased <16.5±6.4 vs 18.3±7.5, p=0.01>. In Q1, 20 students declared to have a more active
lifestyle since the beginning of the courses. In Q2, IPAQ-SF-derived total weekly energy expenditure was higher than in Q0, although not
significant <5,839 ±7,035 MET*min vs 2,770±2,457 MET*min, p=0.1>. Q2 showed a reduced K6 scale score with respect to Q0 <13.8±4.6
vs 15.8±4.9, p=0.03>.
CONCLUSION: With the sport activity courses established in #SXLV we gave students the opportunity to comply with WHO recommendations.
After courses, they appeared to practice more PA, have a higher maximal aerobic capacity, a lower percent body fat and a lower
grade of psychological distress than before courses. Simple activities as those proposed by #SXLV are sufficient to reduce sedentariness
and improve the quality of life of students

The academic, pedagogical, and scientific progress undertaken at Università Cattolica in the field of exercise and sports sciences has placed particular emphasis on transformations in terms of the educational curriculum, research projects, and their impact on the academic and professional community. In a context where disciplines related to motor sciences are gaining increasing relevance, the critical analysis presented provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities faced within the Department of Education. Through a historical review of the initiatives taken, it delineates pedagogical strategies, external partnerships, and the evolution of research lines that have characterised this journey. The work highlights the synergy between teaching and research, illustrating how scientific output in the field of motor sciences has contributed to the enrichment of students’ education and innovation in the field. The analysis of the experience at Università Cattolica serves as a significant model for academic institutions interested in developing advanced study programmes and research in the field of exercise and sports sciences. Finally, this contribution offers a glimpse into the future, identifying challenges and prospects for the next decade, including possible developments in terms of curriculum, applied research, and interdisciplinary collaborations.
