DEA - Donne e Audiovisivo
2018
Nel settore audiovisivo le disuguaglianze sono evidenti, come emerge da tempo in alcune ricerche pilota (EWA):
- L'88% dei film a finanziamento pubblico italiano sono diretti da uomini. Solo nel 12% dei casi si registra una regia femminile.
- Il 79% dei film prodotti dalla Rai è stato diretto da uomini. Sono quindi solo il 21% i film prodotti dalla Rai con una regista .
- Il 90.8% dei film che arrivano alle sale cinematografiche è diretto da uomini. Meno del 10% (9,2%) sono i film diretti da ...
Claiming Citizenship Rights in Europe. Emerging Challenges and Political Agents
2018
How can the European Union protect the rights of its citizens? This book, funded by the European Commission, Directorate-General Justice, presents some case studies in which social groups, ethnic minorities and avant-garde have used the European legal instruments to assert their claims. This has often allowed to widen the sphere of rights in member countries, showing that, even without having coercive instruments, EU legal instruments can contribute to achieving progressive outcomes. The ...
Crime and Global Justice. The Dynamics of International Punishment
2018
A new criminal justice system has re-emerged in the last quarter of a century: national judges have become increasingly bold in prosecuting crimes committed elsewhere, the United Nations has set up specific international tribunals and a large number of states have even instituted the permanent International Criminal Court. What is the effect of these ambitious transformations? Are we facing a new global justice or the will of the most powerful players to process their enemies? Through the ...

Landslides in the Solar System
2017
On Earth, landslides are hazardous phenomena often associated with economic damage and loss of human lives. The most common natural triggers of terrestrial landslides are intense or prolonged rainfall, earthquakes, rapid snow melting, and volcanic activity. But what are the main natural triggers of landslides on other solid bodies of the Solar System?
Since the early 70's of the last century, landslides were observed on the surface of the Moon, Mars, Mercury and Venus, to mention only the ...

The Secular Decay of the Semi-Major Axis of the Lares SatelliteLLITE
2017
The LAser Ranged Satellites Experiment (LARASE) has the goal to carry out a sequence of measurements of relativistic effects using specific Earth-orbiting satellites for verifying the predictions of General Relativity and of alternatives theories proposed for the description of the gravitational interaction. These measurements are achieved in the so-called weak-field and slow-motion (WFSM) limit of the theory, by means of passive "cannonball" satellites tracked very precisely with the Satellite ...

The importance of worker reputation in crowd-work systems
2017
Crowd work is a term often adopted to identify networked systems that can be used for the solution of a wide range of complex problems by integrating a large number of human and/or computer efforts. Among several different types of crowd work systems that are already operational in the Internet, a large research effort has been devoted to characterize the performance of microtask-based crowd work systems. The key characteristic of these systems is that a requester structures his problem in a set ...
FORESTE, CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI E ADATTAMENTO

Two genomic regions and lifestyle factors associated with human longevity.
2017
Genomic analysis of longevity offers the potential to illuminate the biology of human aging. In a study, recently published in Nature Communications, a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 606,059 parents' survival, helped discover two regions associated with longevity (HLA-DQA1/DRB1 and LPA). Previous suggestions that APOE, CHRNA3/5, CDKN2A/B, SH2B3 and FOXO3A influence longevity have also been validated. Next, the study shows that giving up smoking, educational attainment, openness to new ...
Non-coding RNA: the DNA damage fingerprints of cancer cells
2017
The integrity of our genome has to be maintained ed to prevent accumulation of harmful mutations, or cell death. This is even more needed in tumor cells where breaks in DNA occur at higher frequency. This feature of cancer cells can be exploited to set up therapeutic strategies based on inhibition of DNA repair with the aim to induce cell death. The drugs used so far to strike this "Achilles heel" of cancer cells block the enzymatic activity of essential DNA repair proteins, such as ATM, ATR or ...

CLINEXTRACT: A structured lexicon for the automated extraction of clinical concepts from the multisource medical records of aged people with hearing disabilities
2017
Hearing impairment is very common in older adults: 360 million people over 65 have disabling hearing loss worldwide. It is well recognized that a successful plan for hearing rehabilitation of older people shall take into account not only the technological aspects, such as what type of hearing aid or implanted hearing device is used, but also other aspects broadly related to auditory disability. In this view, key factors include the perceived hearing difficulties in real life, the impact on ...
Spatiotemporal classification of mobile network demands
