Resumo: A prospecção de enzimas fúngicas tem sido amplamente estudada nos ultimos anos, principalmente utilizando a Fermentação em Estado Sólido (FES). A procura por enzimas microbianas, principalmente de fungos filamentosos, capazes de degradar material lignocelulósico, tem despertado grande interesse para processos biotecnológicos como, por exemplo, na produção de bioetanol, a partir do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar. Fungos do gênero Aspergillus são reconhecidos como ótimos produtores de enzimas do complexo celulolítico e hemicelulolítico, e a busca por novas linhagens com potencial de produção destas torna-se um grande desafio. Aspergillus labruscus ITAL 22.223 é um fungo filamentoso recentemente isolado no sul do Brasil e, por este motivo, não há estudos na literatura sobre seu potencial de produzir enzimas celulolíticas e hemicelulolíticas. Diante do exposto, este estudo visou a produção e quantificação de enzimas do complexo celulolítico (celulase total, endoglucanase e β-glicosidase) e hemicelulolítico (xilanase), a partir de fermentação em estado sólido utilizando resíduos/produtos agroindustriais como substratos. Neste contexto, a maior atividade enzimática de xilanase foi obtida na presença de farelo de trigo (74,83 U/g de substrato) e de β-glicosidase em farelo de aveia (6,35 U/g de substrato) como substratos/fontes de carbono. Sendo a produção de xilanase em FES a que mais se destacou, algumas características da enzima contida no extrato bruto foram determinadas. Apresentou te...

Abstract: Prospecting of fungal enzymes has been largely studied in recent years, especially by means of Solid-State Fermentation (SSF). The search for microorganisms' enzymes able to degrade lignocellulosic material, mainly those of filamentous fungi, has attracted interest for application in biotechnological processes, such as in production of cellulosic ethanol from sugarcane bagasse. Aspergillus species are well known for their capability to produce cellulosic and hemicellulosic enzymes complex and the search for strains with this potential is an important challenge. Aspergillus labruscus ITAL 22.223 is a filamentous fungus recently isolated in south of Brazil with unknown potential to produce cellulolytic or hemicellulolytic enzymes. This study aimed the production and quantitation of enzymes of the complex cellulolytic (total cellulose, endoglucanase and and β-glucosidase) and hemicellulolytic (xylanse) obtained under solid-state fermentation using agroindustrial waste and product as substrates. According to this, the greatest enzymatic productions of xylanase (74.83 U/g of substrate) and β-glucosidase (6.35 U/g of substrate) were obtained using wheat bran and oat bran as substrates during SSF fermentation, respectively. Taking in account the best production of xylanase in SSF, some biochemical characteristics were determined for the enzyme contained in the crude extract. Optimal of temperature for enzyme activity was 55ºC and optimal pH was 5.5. Regarding its thermal stability, ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abstract:

In 1934, four Argentine-born soccer players participated for the Italian team that won the FIFA World Cup on home soil. As children born to parents who participated in a wave of Italian immigrants that helped reshape Argentine society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these four players were part of a larger trend where over one hundred Argentine soccer players of Italian descent were signed by Italian clubs in the late 1920s and through the 1930s. This thesis examines the liminal space between Italian and Argentine identity within the broader context of diaspora formation in Argentina through a look at these four exemplars of the transatlantic talent shift. Utilizing sources that include Italian and Argentinian newspapers and magazines, national federation documents, and census and parish records, the thesis reveals the fluidity and temporality of national identity among Italo-Argentine immigrant offspring during the early twentieth century.

Abstract:

Increasing interest in the quality of undergraduate education has led many U.S. institutions of Higher Education to focus their attention on the qualifications and careful preparation of Teaching Assistants (TAs) in general (Thornburg et al, 2000) and International Teaching Assistants (ITAs) in particular (Tang & Sandell, 2000), especially since the number of nonresident aliens in the graduate population has been rising steadily (Pae, 2001). This dissertation reports the findings of a study which investigated the proposition that when international graduate students are appointed International Teaching Assistants (ITAs), they need specific kinds of mentoring and support that differ from that of their counterparts, American Teaching Assistants (ATAs) because the issues applicable to ITAs encompass more than developing appropriate and efficient teaching behaviors. ITAs must also attend to their competencies regarding the English language, the American culture, and pedagogy, since their ability to communicate their knowledge as both graduate students and teaching assistants is sometimes limited by their competencies in the L2 language, culture, and pedagogy. This multi-case study evaluates the impact of an ITA Program on twenty-three ITAs as graduate students and teaching assistants, and offers an emic perspective on the teaching behaviors and communication skill changes ITAs experienced after participating in the optional semester-long ITA Development Program at the University of Arizona. This research study also provides an emic perspective on how ITAs see themselves in the different roles they perform, and it explores the ITAs' definitions and perceptions of teacher "effectiveness" together with those of their undergraduate students. The results of the analyses of data obtained via quantitative and qualitative methods indicate that the participants received positive benefits from the ITA Development Program and significantly improved their language, cultural and teaching competencies in L2. In addition, the findings show that upon completion of the program, ITAs felt more confident and better prepared to fulfill their multiple roles due to the customized support they received, which provided them with reassurance and encouragement throughout the mentoring process.

Full text

Abstract:

Italo Calvino is a writer who metamorphoses, but also a highly recognizable writer, whose signature is almost a trademark, whose style is unmistakably his own. This thesis traces some of the reasons for this recognizability of the authorial image of Calvino, an image that has been produced and sculpted over time through different means and media, co-created by critics, readers and Calvino himself. Calvino’s presence in media and paratext, publishing houses and intellectual circles, journals and newspapers forms an intrinsic part of the studied material. This material is explicitly put into dialogue with critical volumes and the way academics arrive at, formulate and circulate knowledge: this enquiry into the form(ul)ation of critical discourses is a crucial part of what is explored in this dissertation. Because Calvino’s circulation is transnational, a comparison is made between the American, British and Italian reception of his works, focusing both on differences and similarities. The question as to what happens to an authorial image in translation and circulation forms a spine throughout the thesis and a conscious effort is made not to separate critics and readers, editorial and academic contexts, high and low literature, Italian and non- Italian readings. A discussion along canonical fault lines is therefore a central part of the dissertation: what has propelled Calvino to the status of ‘modern classic’? Resistance to Calvino’s canonization is discussed in order to get a better sense of the canonical negotiations that surround Calvino. The ‘essential Calvino’ that has been distilled in criticism is put alongside a range of possible, parallel ‘minor Calvini’, that have been less visible because of cultural, material or historical reasons. Ample room will be reserved for a ‘science fiction’ Calvino, who is much more visible in the Anglo-Saxon readings. Other alternative Calvini which are investigated include a feminist Calvino, a posthuman Calvino and an ecologist Calvino.

Abstract:

This paper investigates how professionals within the Italian fashion industrycollaborate and communicate to develop the nation brand Made in Italy. Theproblem of brand confusion, which occurs when the different parties within anation does not cooperate towards a distinct brand message, is analysed.Based on a theoretical review of previous studies in nation branding,interviews and observations in the area of Florence and a desk study ofscientific papers, articles and literature, the model “The Nation Brand Tree”was developed. This was applied to the case of Made in Italy. Conclusions: Thecertification “100% Made in Italy” was proven to be an ineffective solution ofsaving the Italian heritage of craftsmanship and quality. The Italian nationbrand is currently being preserved by private investors, but there is a need forincreased governmental support to create a stronger and unified nation brandfor Made in Italy.

Abstract:

Den genomgripande datoriseringen som härjar i dagens företagsvärld har gjort verksamheter starkt beroende av informationssytem för hantering och lagring av information. Parallellt med denna utvckling har IT-förvaltning kontinuerligt utvecklats till ett område som fått en betyande roll. Idag täcks större delar av IT-förvaltning genom ett nytt begrepp, ITSM (IT Service Managment). Detta är ett nyligen framtaget paraplybegrepp som innefattar en mängd begrepp och ramverk som växt fram, däribland ITIL, PM3 och ISO20000. Även nyckelord som value, relations och service genomsyrar hela området. Detta för att möta den mer moderna innebörd som IT-förvaltning idag har. ITIL är ett ramverk som är till för att förbättra IT-förvaltningen för de verksamheter som väljer att införa det. Dock finns det en del aspekter verksamheter behöver ta hänsyn till när de inför ITIL. Det handlar om finansiella aspekter, kompetens för processer och förståelse och teknik.Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka ITIL för verksamheter som valt att införa det och hur detta påverkat IT-förvaltningen. Tre faktorer kommer att hanteras - utmaningarna som kan uppkomma vid införandet av ramverket och utmaningarna verksamheter har i det dagliga arbetet med ITIL. Studien ska dessutom undersöka fördelarna verksamheter känt av med införandet av ITIL.Studien har haft en hermeneutisk ansats med en kvalitativ karaktär. Empirin som samlats in har byggts upp utifrån semi-strukturerade intervjuer för två verksamheter. I denna fallstudie har det studerats djupare kring hur två verksamheters arbetssätt med IT-förvaltning fungerar, i det avseendet att vi har undersökt hur de arbetar med ITIL. Dessutom har en komparativ design valts för att försöka öka tillförlitligheten och för att få en större förståelse av de sociala fenomen som undersökts. Vidare har en korsanalys gjorts för att upptäcka likheter och skillnader mellan de olika verksamheterna som undersökts.Med denna studie har ett antal slutsatser kunnat dras. Vid införandet av ITIL handlar det oftast om utmaningar som rör acceptanssvårigheter för de anställda som påverkats av några faktorer. Dessa faktorer innefattar vokabulären, dokumentationen, processeförståelsen och arbetsrutinerna ITIL för med sig till verksamheten. I det dagliga arbetet med ITIL ligger utmaningarna i ramverkets komplexitet och det processorienterade arbetssättet. Utmaningarna ligger här även i att få samspel mellan människor, processer och teknik att fungera för att uppnå ett effektivt IT-förvaltningsarbete för IT-tjänsterna. Vi har kommit fram till att ITIL även kan leda till en icke önskvärd byråkratisering av verksamheter som väljer att införa det. Fördelar med införandet av ITIL har visat handla om att verksamheter känt av en ökad och mer omfattande kontroll på anställda och resurser. Dessutom är ökad kundnöjdhet en märkbar fördel ramverket fört med sig.

Abstract:

Det digitala samhället vi idag lever i ställer allt högre krav på tjänster och tjänsteinnovationer till följd av den förflyttning som skett från ett traditionellt varudominant synsätt till ett tjänstedominant synsätt på varor och produkter där kunden har en betydande stor roll. Den tjänstedominanta synen även kallad IT service Management har växt fram till att bli en viktigpusselbit för organisationer i hanteringen av dess IT-strategier. För att styra organisationers IT-service Management har olika diverse ramverk växt fram delvis för att främja flexibilitet. Ett av de mest använda ramverken är Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL fokuserar på processer för att leverera och hantera IT-tjänster för en verksamhet. De fördelar som ITIL kan främja berör bland annat förbättrad tjänstekvalitet genom att ökatjänstepålitligheten samt tjänstetillgängligheten. ITIL främjar även flexibilitet där samtidigt tydliga avgränsningar och vägledning ges. För ITIL finns olika certifieringsnivåer och utbildningar som kan genomföras. Trots ITILs popularitet, utbreddhet samt den mängdpublikationer som ITIL är uppbyggt av finns dock ett antal svårigheter vid implementering av ITIL. Bland annat upplever verksamheter en osäkerhet i vart arbetet skall börja och vilken process som bör implementeras först i kombination med en efterfrågan på mer praktiskvägledning från utövare. För att besvara denna efterfrågan har Axelos ITILs ägare, introduceraten ny certifieringsnivå och med detta introducerat en ny kurs, Practitioner. Syftet med denna studie är därför att skapa en förståelse för hur ITIL Practitioner kan tillföra praktisk vägledning för en kommunal verksamhet. För att besvara studiens forskningsfråga utfördes en kvalitativfallstudie, där en semi-strukturerad intervju i kombination med granskning av dokumentgenomfördes på en kommunal verksamhet med informanter som har god kunskap av ITIL samt genomgått den nya certifieringsnivå som introducerats av Axelos. Från det insamlade materialet via intervjun och dokumentgranskningen kunde författarna identifiera ett antal faktorer som besvarar hur ITIL Practitioner kan tillföra praktisk vägledning för en kommunal verksamhet. Den mest framträdande faktorn uppnås genom att ITIL Practitioner genomförs internt meddeltagare från den egna verksamheten, där ITIL Practitioner utformas efter verksamhetens egna behov. Ytterligare faktorer som författarna kunde identifiera var att ITIL Practitioner kan egenverksamheter givande diskussioner gällande mjuka frågor, samt att ITIL Practitioner kan ge engemensam grund att stå på, så olika delprojekt bedrivs på liknande sätt.
The digital society we live today poses increasingly high demand on services and service innovations as a result of the shift from a traditional goods-dominant logic to a service dominant view on goods and products where the customer plays a significate role. The service dominated view also known as IT Service Management, has grown to be an important piece of puzzle for organizations in managing its IT strategies. In order to control organizations’ IT Service Management, different frameworks have been developed partly to promote flexibility. One of the most common framework is the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL focuses on processes for delivering and managing IT services for an organization. The benefits that ITIL can promote affects, among other things, improved service quality by increasing service reliability and service availability. ITIL also promotes flexibility as well as providing clear delimitations and guidance. For ITIL there are different certification levels and programs that can be performed. However, despite ITIL’s widespread popularity and the amount of publications that ITIL is built on, there are a number of difficulties in implementing ITIL. Some organizations experience an uncertainty as to where the work is to begin, which processes that should be implemented first in combination with a demand for practical guidance from practitioners. To answer this demand Axelos, ITIL’s owner, introduced a new level of certification namely ITIL Practitioner. The purpose of this study is therefore to provide an understanding of how ITIL Practitioner can provide practical guidance to a municipal organization. To answer the study’s research question, a qualitative case study was carried out, in which a semi-structured interview as well as document review was conducted on a municipal organization with informants who had good knowledge of ITIL and had undergone the new certification level that Axelos introduced. From the collected material through the interview and documentary review, the authors could identify a number of factors that answer how ITIL Practitioner can provide practical knowledge for a municipal organization. The most prominent factor is achieved by practicing internally with participants from their own organization, where ITIL Practitioner is designed according to the companies own needs. Additional factors that the authors could identify were that ITIL Practitioner can provide organizations with meaningful discussions on soft issues, and that ITIL Practitioner can give a common reason to stand on, so that different subprojects are conducted in a similar manner.

Abstract:

The thesis “Fiscal forecasting in Italy” is comprised of three main chapters in which is analyzed, from an empirical point of view, several issues related to public finance forecasts, with an application to Italy. Chapter II, “Accuracy of fiscal forecasts in Italy” is focused on one of the most important aspects of the new Treaty: it requires that the decisions and recommendations taken by the European Commission are no longer be based on outcomes but on forecasts. In this chapter, I evaluate whether fiscal forecasts for Italy are accurate and econometrically efficient. I focus on a large number of deficit forecasts for Italy that come from a variety of sources, including both public and private agencies as well as Italian and international institutions. I analyse the extent of the discrepancies between the yearly released deficit on GDP and its forecast in Italy from 1/1992 to 12/2011. I conduct two types of analysis. In the quantitative analysis, I carry out different accuracy tests to detect which organization is the best forecaster and in what part of the year better results are published. I also compare forecasters’ performance against a naïve benchmark model, which provides a minimum level of accuracy. In the qualitative analysis, I consider the quality of the forecasts and I test efficiency, unbiasedness and serial correlations. I conclude that all fiscal forecasters for Italy provide unbiased and inefficient forecasts. In general, forecast errors do not persist in a regular way. The most relevant result of this analysis is that private forecasters are frequently more accurate than national and international ones. In Chapter III, “Combine to compete: improving fiscal forecast accuracy over time”, take advantage of the information contained in all individual budget forecasts analysed in the previous chapter to improve their accuracy. I do this by projecting combined forecasts through pooling the judgment and expertise of the forecasters. Following this idea of improving the forecasting accuracy, I apply a variety of combination techniques, both simple and advanced, which account for past forecasting performance, to compute a combined forecast. I look at a same dataset which is analysed in the previous Chapter. My main finding is that different combinations of budget forecasts often result in more accurate forecasts than individual models. This is particularly the case for a weighted forecast combination and Rbest that value the forecasts that have been more accurate in recent periods. Standard tests of forecasting accuracy show that even one year ahead, some of the pooled forecasts significantly outperform a naïve model. I use recently developed fluctuation tests to check forecasting accuracy over time I find that the weighted forecast combinations outperforms other predictors overall years. Its improvement in accuracy is statistically significant when compared to a naïve model. Chapter IV, “Nowcasting public finance in Italy,” moves from the idea of forecast and combination of annual data to the most recent idea of nowcasting fiscal variables. The reason is to give policy makers the capacity for dynamic monitoring of the public budget’s cash flow. This monthly analysis exploits the information at higher frequencies before the official figure becomes available. The approach that I use consists of using different nowcasting techniques that are well known in the literature. In particular, I propose a set of models that are parsimonious and suitable for real-time monitoring of the fiscal deficit. I conclude that the linear regression models outperform the other techniques used. The introduction of public finance and economic confidence variables and Google trends results in performance gains when compared with the VAR, the time series and autoregressive models.

Abstract:

Conect AB wants to know how they can use ITIL in their organization. Right now their company is in an expansive phase and needs a more structured way to work. They have been thinking of improving their way of work for several years but haven’t had the time to do so. Now they have realized they need to work more efficiently to able to grow further. ITIL is a collection of best practices. ITIL’s purpose is to help IT organizations to get more organized to de able to benefit the business in a better way. ITIL is developed by OGC (Office Goverment of Commerce) in England. With the help

ITIL you can structure your work better and there by increase the efficiency of the IT process. ITIL is divided I several processes and each one of them have their own purpose. That makes everyone’s duties clear. The central parts of ITIL are Service Support and Service Delivery that gives an overview of how to work in an

IT organization. The information about ITIL that has been acquired through previous courses at School of Engineering in Jönköping. Some books about ITIL were used to furthermore gather information. The information about how Conect AB work has been put together through several interviews with the supervisor at the company. A survey was sent to several of their customers, which of three of them replied.

This provided a good idea about how Conect AB works today. At the moment the company doesn’t have a helpdesk system to handle incoming

incidents. This is considered as the weakest part for the moment. A helpdesk system could improve the efficiency of their work a lot. To handle the incoming incidents in a correct way Conect AB will need to build a helpdesk, instead of letting the customers call the technicians directly. If they choose to implement the advices given to improve them, they will probably be able to expand even more. The time saved by the improvements can be used more efficient. This will allow the costumer relations to increase.

Conect AB vill veta hur de kan använda ITIL i deras organisation. De befinner sig just nu i en expansiv fas och behöver ett mer strukturerat arbetssätt. De har funderat i flera år på att förbättra sitt arbetssätt men har inte haft tid att göra detta. De har nu insett att de måste effektivisera sitt arbetssätt om de skall kunna växa. ITIL är samling av de så kallade ”best practices” som betyder ungefär bra erfarenheter. ITIL ska hjälpa IT–organisationer med att bli mer organiserade och att öka sin nytta för affärsverksamheten. ITIL är framtaget av OGC (Office Goverment of Commerce) i England. Med hjälp av ITIL kan man strukturera sitt arbetssätt bättre och därmed öka effektiviteten på IT-processen. ITIL är indelat i

flera processer, var och en med sina speciella uppgifter så att alla vet vad de ska göra. De centrala delarna i ITIL är Service Support och Service Delivery som på ett övergripande sätt beskriver hur man kan jobba i en IT-organisation. Informationen om ITIL till det här arbetet har införskaffats genom tidigare kurser på Tekniska Högskolan i Jönköping. Dessutom har böcker använts med

anknytning till ITIL. Informationen om Conect AB:s arbetssätt har sammanställts genom återkommande besök och samtal med handledaren hos uppdragsgivaren. Dessutom gjordes en enkättundersökning mot företagets kunder varav tre svarade.

Genom detta skapades det en bra bild över hur Conect AB arbetar.

För närvarande har firman inte något ärendehanteringssystem för inkommande ärenden. Detta ses som den största bristen idag. Ett ärendehanteringssystem skulle effektivisera deras arbetssätt väsentligt. För att kunna hantera ärendehanteringen

på ett korrekt sätt måste en helpdesk upprättas istället för att tekniker har hand om kundkontakten. Om företaget kommer att implementera förbättringsförslagen kommer de förmodligen att kunna få utrymme för att expandera. Vinsterna består i tidsbesparingar som kan användas mer effektivt. Dessutom kan man öka kundnöjdheten mot företaget.

Abstract:

In Italy, the “traditional” form of family revaluated by fascist dogma is one of the pillars of the society. Women have a central role to maintain, protect and support this form of family. Many Italian women, the State, the media and the Church, all act to safeguard this reality, seeking to remove all obstacles that can challenge the family. Abortion is considered as one of these obstacles and it has been a much debated topic in Italy over the years. Abortion was made legal in Italy in 1978 with a widely discussed law. The Italian Abortion Act, despite being the object of debates, critics and two referenda supported by all Parliamentary factions, has never been modified. In 2002, with the introduction of RU 486 at the Sant’Anna of Turin all debates about abortion started up again accompanied by a strong opposition to the implementation of the drug. The purpose of this study is to better understand the social definition of the female condition in Italy analysing the obstacles to the implementation of chemical abortion in Italy. In order to evaluate the role of both the Italian Government and society in obstructing the introduction of RU 486 in Italy, historical and secondary sociological data were collected and a series of interviews and a participant observation in a selection of Italian hospitals were conducted. A comparative study between Italy and the UK was also conducted. The results of this study seem to prove how the majority of Italian women, in opposition to feminist theory, prioritize family, femininity and maternity, considering career as necessary mainly from an economic point of view. Abortion is now considered by the young generation as something avoidable and no longer associated with women’s right to choose or as an expression of “self-determination”. This strong “traditionalistic” attitude seems to be caused by the inability of the Italian State to implement its laws and by the direct and indirect influence of the Catholic Church.

Magistro darbo tema – italų kultūrinė adaptacija Lietuvoje. Tyrimo objektas – italų kultūrinė adaptacija. Tyrimo tikslas – išsamiai išanalizuoti italų kultūrinės adaptacijos Lietuvoje ypatumus – aprašyti adaptacijos procesą, adaptacijos veiksnių pasireiškimo sąlygas, įvertinti, kokie veiksniai labiausiai prisidėjo prie italų kultūrinės adaptacijos Lietuvoje sėkmių ir nesėkmių. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1) remiantis užsienio ir lietuvių mokslininkų darbais aptarti adaptacijos procesą, 2) aptarti kultūrinio šoko sampratą, 3) išanalizuoti veiksnius, lemiančius kultūrinės adaptacijos sėkmes ir nesėkmes; 4) pristatyti italų ir lietuvių kultūrų pagrindinius aspektus; 6) pasitelkus giluminio interviu metodą, interviuoti 13 Lietuvoje gyvenančių italų. Darbo problematikos specifika lėmė, kad buvo pasirinkti keli metodai: analitinis, interpretacinis. Pasirinkta tema svarbi tuo, kad Lietuvoje ji inovatyvi. Iki šiol nėra rašytų mokslinių darbų, kuriuose būtų analizuojama italų kultūrinė adaptacija Lietuvoje. Pagrindinė magistro darbo literatūra yra J. W. Berry, Y. H. Poortingo, M. H. Segall, P. R.

The theme of the study – The Cultural Adaptation of Italians in Lithuania. The object of the study: cultural adaptation of italians. The study tasks are: 1) to discuss the adaptation process, 2) to discuss the concept of the cultural shock, 3) to analyze the factors that determine the successes and failures of the cultural adaptation; 4) to introduce the main features of italian and lithuanian cultures; 5) to interview 13 italians in order to reveal the particularity of the cultural adaptation of italians. The method of the study - analytical, interpretive. The theme of the study is innovative in Lithuania – there are no studies in which is analysed the process of the cultural adaptation of Italians in Lithuania. The research of the study revealed that the process of cultural adaptation of Italians in Lithuania is smooth. Italians residing in Lithuania from 1 to 4 years did not suffer cultural shock. Respondents still feel not independent, the majority of them still did not achieve the purpose that they have had before arriving in Lithuania. Only the Italians who arrived already knowing that they will work in Lithuania – now feel the security and think that they reached the goal of the stay in our country. They almost never think of the return to Italy. The Italians are interested in Lithuanian culture, they are able to speak Lithuanian, try to communicate with Lithuanians in Lithuanian. Italians, living in Lithuania from 4 to 7 years, came in Lithuania with the clear purpose... [to full text]

Abstract:

En 1960, à Paris ; de la volonté conjointe de François Le Lionnais et Raymond Queneau, naÎt l’Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle : un laboratoire d’écrivains qui se proposent, par le biais d’une approche scientifique à la littérature, de renouveler le débat culturel qu’en France pendant les années Soixante remet en cause le mythe surréaliste de l’inspiration et s’éloigne de l’idée de littérature engagée. Pendant la même période, Italo Calvino déménage à Paris, une ville où, loin de la gravité de la critique italienne, toujours orientée vers une idée de littérature politique et morale, il peut se confronter avec une série de modèles qui influenceront son œuvre successive. Notre thèse propose une analyse de la période parisienne d’Italo Calvino, notamment des rapports qu’il a entretenus avec les membres de l’Oulipo dont il a été élu membre étranger en 1972. A partir d’un approfondissement de la rhétorique oulipienne et à l’aide de l’analyse de la production littéraire de Calvino pendant sa période parisienne, nous essayons de souligner la profonde parenté entre l’écrivain italien et le groupe français et d’indiquer les retombées que cette fréquentation a eues sur l’écriture de Calvino
In 1960 born in Paris the Oulipo. This laboratory of writers strongly desired by Raymond Queneau and François Le Lionnais proposes, through a scientific approach to literature, to renew the cultural debate in France during the 1960s, questioning the myth of inspiration promoted by surrealists and departing from the idea of Jean Paul Sartre’s engaged literature. In the same period, Italo Calvino moved to Paris where, away from the influence of Italian literary criticism always oriented toward the idea of political literature and moral ethics, he can deal with a series of models that will influence his later work. This work proposes an analysis of Italo Calvino’s “Parisian period”, with a special focus on his relationship with the members of the Oulipo of which, in 1972, he was elected “membre étranger”. From an analysis of Oulipo’s rhetoric and of the concept of littérature potentielle (studied in deep in the Archives of the Oulipo) and of Calvino’s literary production during his period in Paris, our thesis emphasizes the deep harmony between the Italian writer and the French group pointing out the impact that this liaison has had on the production of Calvino

Abstract:

Citizens are expected to have a great role in the future global energy transition toward a low-carbon economy and climate neutrality. The creation of energy communities can empower citizens, who become prosumers, providing flexibility and ancillary services, reducing losses and grid investment deferral. It also brings environmental and social benefits, activating virtuous circles in the local economy. The purpose of this work is to analyze the current regulatory framework energy community; a deeper analysis is performed on renewable energy community whose regulation has been already transposed in the Italian regulation. Moreover, a realistic business-case is presented in order to verify the feasibility of a renewable energy community and a collective self-consumption schemes in the CAAB-FICO area. The final part of the work seeks to present an overview of the possible future perspectives regarding energy community and their possible contribution to smart-cities development. Particular attention has been given to the role of the energy management system in an energy community and a how it can be designed to improve the community’s energy efficiency through the implementation of production and load forecasts.

Banverket ICT är en relativt ny enhet med de sammanslagna enheterna Banverket IT och Banverket Telenät. För att få ihop det nya arbetssättet finns långt gångna tankar på att jobba enligt ITIL. ITIL är ett arbetssätt som skall hjälpa organisationer att arbeta mer organiserat och därmed öka effektiviteten för IT-processen. ITIL utgår från processarbete och varje process har sina speciella uppgifter. ITIL är framtaget av OGC (Office Government of Commerce) i England Rapporten visar att ett införande av valda delar ur ITIL bör ske etappvis över hela organisationen inom Banverket ICT, i en kombination med ett ständigt förankringsarbete.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to reveal how Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) should be implemented in an organization in an efficient and effective way to achieve the goal of reducing wastage, cutting costs and increasing customers’ satisfaction. There are many books dealing with the ITIL. But these publications do not prescribe how to adopt, adapt or implement the guidelines as part of a service management strategy; it would seem useful to explore implementation strategies which are employed by organizations when they are using ITIL “best practices”.

This paper seeks to take a study of “How to implement ITIL successfully in organizations”, which could be subdivided into questions of “What steps are necessary to implement ITIL” and “what factors are critical within implementation process”. Although previous researches have made some recommendations generally, this paper investigates the question on that base through comparing consultants’, organizations’ opinion and previous researches.

This study begins with an overview of ITSM, ITIL, and critical success factors and steps of ITIL implementation. Information about the critical success factors and steps of ITIL implementation were acquired through interviews, emails and questionnaires from responsible staff in some major representative consultancy and organizations.

The outcomes of our research are fourteen significant steps to implement ITIL and some success factors during implementation, which are vital to have a prosperous ITIL implementation. This research makes a guideline for organizations to understand and carry out the ITIL implementation efficiently.

Vianello, Marialuisa. "Italo Svevo et la France." Aix-Marseille 1, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004AIX10072.

Full text

Abstract:

Le transfert en France de l'oeuvre d'Italo Svevo, entre 1926 et 1933, est un cas assez rare dans l'histoire des rapports culturels entre les deux pays, car les textes svéviens ont été accueillis dans la culture française presque au même moment que dans la culture italienne. Ils présentaient donc des caractéristiques de rupture et de nouveauté par rapport à l'horizon d'attente des deux pays. Grâce à l'intervention de J. Joyce, les critiques écrivains V. Larbaud et B. Crémieux, l'éditeur Gallimard et le traducteur P. H. Michel ont saisi l'intérêt de l'oeuvre de Svevo, à la différence de nombreux critiques italiens, mais ils ont essayé de l'adapter aux attentes du public en écourtant La coscienza di Zeno, en modifiant son titre, en transformant son style dans la traduction. Dans les années cinquante Svevo a été redécouvert en France après une période d'oubli, et la critique professionnelle a cherché à apprendre aux lecteurs comment il fallait lire "correctement" Svevo. Les lectures savantes des professeurs ont mis en rapport l'oeuvre avec son contexte historique, avec la conscience même de Svevo et avec les influences idéologiques subies, pour parvenir à un commentaire qui reconstruise le sens des textes. Mais dans La coscienza di Zeno le sens n'est pas dévoilé par le simple déroulement de la narration, le texte renvoie à plusieurs explications possibles, contenues dans des théories extérieures à lui, comme par exemple la psychanalyse. Les interprétations psychanalytiques ont souvent visé à formuler un diagnostic sur le genre de pathologie dont le protagoniste serait atteint, au risque de réduire le personnage de l'inadapté à un simple malade à soigner, en le privant de sa vocation à remettre en cause toute la réalité. Les inadaptés dénoncent par leurs souffrances non seulement leur incapacité à vivre, mais aussi le caractère hypocrite et inhumain de la société, mais, parfois est-ce la leçon de Zeno ? - ils arrivent à survivre, mieux que les gens qui s'y sont intégrés.

Favero, Claudia. "Developing digital historians in Italy." Thesis, Open University, 2014. http://oro.open.ac.uk/44504/.

Full text

Abstract:

This study concerns the experiences of Italian digital historians and their implications for historical scholarship. The present and future of the profession of historian, in academia and outside it, are inextricably linked to the digital revolution that is pervading society. How historians face the challenges and take advantage of the affordances of technology will have a strong impact on teaching and researching history in the future. However, the voice of digital historians on these issues does not emerge systematically from the literature. This research uses grounded theory methodology to delineate a theory of being a digital historian in Italy, a country with a rich historiographical tradition and widespread interest in history, but a weak connection with technology in scholarly endeavours. Based on in-depth interviews with digital historians, the analysis presented here highlights their initiatives, evaluations and strategies, in relation to all aspects of scholarship but particularly the education of future historians. This research is motivated and informed by my professional experience as lecturer in digital methodologies for historical research. The emerging theory revolves around the concept of developing digital history: Italian digital historians are pioneers, animated by passion and desire to innovate but working in a challenging, largely unsupportive environment where their initiatives have not translated well into educational provision for future digital historians or, more generally, to provide students with tools and methodology for historiography in the digital age. Through an illuminative comparison with interviews conducted with digital historians in the United Kingdom, differences and similarities are analysed, with a view to creating a general theory of being a digital historian and its implications for the future of scholarship in history.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the process of identity construction in Lombard Italy through an examination of the expression of gender, an aspect often neglected in Lombard archaeology, which has tended to focus on issues surrounding migration and ethnicity. The main evidence considered are the grave good assemblages (1639 objects recorded from 347 furnished graves) found in sixteen Lombard-period cemeteries distributed across northern Italy and Tuscany. Methodologies for studying gender in Early Medieval cemeteries elsewhere in Europe have been adopted and adapted, including multivariate statistics, and the analysis has been also supported by information obtained from the written and iconographic sources. Through an integrated perspective that allows us to observe both the general trends and (as importantly) their variations, I show that beyond the well-known association between masculinity/weapons and femininity/jewellery gender discourse was a complex phenomenon, deeply intertwined with other facets of identity, and with local concerns and traditions.

Abstract:

Il lavoro ‘Essays on Banking in Italy’ si compone di tre ricerche realizzate nel periodo 2005-2008. Nel primo studio (The Monitoring and certification roles of bankers on industrial boards), i dati sulla composizione degli organi societari delle imprese censite dalla Camera di Commercio sono stati incrociati, per la prima volta a conoscenza di chi scrive, con altre tre fonti di informazioni tra cui la Centrale dei rischi. Tale incrocio ha permesso di identificare la presenza degli amministratori di banca negli organi societari delle imprese e studiarne gli effetti sul costo del credito. E’ stato possibile discriminare tra un’ipotesi favorevole (information view) e una sfavorevole (conflitto di interessi). Noi troviamo che le banche rappresentate nel board di un impresa applicano tassi di interesse simili a quelli applicati da banche assenti dal board. Pertanto non abbiamo evidenza di conflitto di interessi. Il secondo lavoro (What’s risk got to do with it ? An analysis of interest rates in the Italian consumer credit market) analizza le determinanti dei tassi di interesse sul credito al consumo delle famiglie. Il risultati dello studio suggeriscono che il potere di mercato delle banche ha un effetto significativo sui tassi di interesse che queste applicano alle famiglie. L’analisi mostra invece un ruolo limitato del rischio: il rapporto sofferenze su prestiti risulta generalmente non significativo e una misura alternativa risulta solo parzialmente migliore. Un approfondimento, basato su regressioni quantili, suggerisce, infine, che una relazione positiva standard tra rischio e tasso sussista solo per la parte inferiore della distribuzione dei tassi e venga meno per la parte sopra la mediana. Nel terzo lavoro (Why is the volume of bank loans low in some countries and high in others? The role of government debt) sono analizzate le determinanti della dimensione dei mercati bancari nei paesi sviluppati. Il contributo principale del lavoro è quello di mostrare il legame inverso tra l’emissione di titoli del debito pubblico e l’offerta di prestiti bancari al settore privato dell’economia. In base all’interpretazione fornita, lo spiazzamento osservato è un effetto della repressione finanziaria attuata dai governi di alcuni paesi per preservare la stabilità finanziaria. Con riferimento all’Italia, le restrizioni attuate attraverso massimali all’offerta di credito delle banche e vincoli all’apertura di sportelli possono aver contenuto l’offerta di finanziamenti al settore privato, da un lato, e incrementato la domanda di titoli domestici come quelli rappresentativi del debito pubblico, dall’altro.
The work ‘Essays on Banking in Italy’ consists of three studies conducted in the period 2005-2008. The first and the second study investigate pricing behaviour of banks on loans granted to private sector, i.e. to firms (The Monitoring and certification effects of bankers on industrial boards) and to households (What’s risk got to do with it ? An analysis of interest rates in the Italian consumer credit market) while the third study (Why is the volume of bank loans low in some countries and high in others? The role of government debt) deals with the determinants of the size of business activity in developed countries. In the first research, a database collecting information on board’s composition of a very large number of firms (those registered at the Chamber of Commerce) was matched with other three sources of data, including the Central Credit Register, for the first time to the best of my knowledge. Such a matching allowed us to identify and study effects of bank representation on corporate board, and to discriminate between a beneficial monitoring activity as well as, alternatively, a costly conflict of interest. Our analysis shows that interest rates loans from the bank with a director who is also a director of the borrowing firm are not significantly lower than those charged by other banks. Therefore, we do not find evidence of a conflict of interest effect. In the second research we investigate the determinants of the price of consumer lending in Italy. The results suggest that concentration level exerted a significant influence on pricing conditions while the evidence on the role of risk is less clear. According to results from a quintile regression approach, we may track down a standard relationship between risk and prices only as for the lowest quintiles of the interest rate distribution. As far as interest rates applied by banks above the median prices are concerned, cost of lending seems to be less sensitive to risk. In the third paper we look at the determinants of the size of banking markets in developed countries. The novelty of the paper is to shed a light on the negative linkages between government securities issuance and the amount of credit granted by banks to private sector. We find a crowding–out effect that we interpret as an outcome of financial repression. As well as Italy is concerned, restrictions to financial activity operated through credit ceilings and branch restrictions may have shrunk bank supply of financing to private sector, on the one hand, and artificially channelled bank resources to domestic assets such as the public debt, on the other hand.

Abstract:

Questa tesi analizza il mercato dell’abbigliamento di lusso giapponese nell’ultimo decennio, focalizzando l’attenzione sui prodotti artigianali Made in Italy esportati in Giappone. Il saldo legame tra artigianato italiano e piccole imprese non fornisce una rappresentazione realistica della situazione attuale, per cui l’obiettivo è di rivalutare l’artigianato Made in Italy, mostrando l’alto valore che possiede nel mercato giapponese. In particolare, si pone l’attenzione sull’artigianato tessile in quanto le case di moda italiane sono alcune tra le aziende al centro del mirino di acquisizioni da parte di multinazionali straniere. Loro Piana è l’esempio concreto di come la tecnica artigianale possa creare prodotti di lusso e mantenere l’”italianità”, pur facendo parte della multinazionale LVMH. Nello specifico, si cercherà di capire quale sia la percezione dei clienti giapponesi del Made in Italy e come i prodotti possano essere uno status symbol per coloro che li acquistano interrogandosi sul valore intrinseco che incarnano. La ricerca è condotta attraverso fonti occidentali e giapponesi, sia cartacee sia online che assicurino un lavoro il più recente possibile, e interviste ai manager di Loro Piana. Il risultato sperato è quello di portare ad una rivalutazione dell’artigianato Made in Italy, attraverso una descrizione esaustiva della percezione dei consumatori giapponesi dei prodotti italiani.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines political and military aspects of British policy towards Italy during 1946-1949. It focuses on five major areas: the punishment of Italian war criminality, the reconstruction of the Italian Armed forces, the role of Italy in British plans for European cooperation, British involvement in the Italian election of April 1948 and Italy's inclusion into NATO. It analyses the factors that influenced the evolution of British policy such as pressures from the emerging Cold War, Britain's diminished power in the region and its desire to remain a major international player in the post WWII world. It evaluates the impact that Italian domestic politics and Italian realities had on the conception and execution of British policy. It reveals that British policy towards Italy was governed not only by British power politics, the desire to frustrate the designs of the Soviet Union and the Italian Communists, and the challenge of growing US influence in Italy but also by moral and ideological underpinnings such as the desire to secure the punishment of some of the worst Italian war criminals and the aspiration, as manifested by British intervention in the Italian election of 1948, to provide Italy with a form of government which was a social democratic anti-Communist alternative to the American form based on an undiluted capitalism. British policy during this period had intended to include Italy in any British plans for European cooperation when the time was right. Its resistance to Italian inclusion into NATO stemmed primarily from pragmatism rather than any persisting punitive attitudes towards a defeated opponent. British foreign policy towards Italy did not achieve all its aims but it cannot, even remotely, be described as a failure. Italy remained firmly anchored in the Western bloc, the seeds of social democracy were nurtured, disengagement was managed in an orderly and successful manner and the British stance over Italo-Yugoslav relations succeeded in neutralising potential dangers to Italy by helping to expose Stalin in the eyes of the Yugoslavs.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of best practices framework like In- formation Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) on IT outsourcing implementation. This thesis will examine the research question:

“What are ITIL’s effects on IT Outsourcing implementation?”

The goal is to find out whether ITIL is applicable in IT outsourcing project, and if it has a positive or negative impact on it. The study of the impact of ITIL in IT outsourcing pro- jects, will start by giving the reader an overview about ITIL and IT outsourcing critical suc- cess factors. This thesis is conducted through a cross-sectional study, and information has been obtained through secondary literature. The authors have also conducted a series of in- terviews with IT practitioners and an IT expert. The interviews has been done in a semi- structured way.

The outcome of this research show that ITIL definitely can have a positive impact on IT outsourcing implementation. A positive effect that has been discovered from this research is that ITIL improved the communication between service providers and customers. These studies also shows that ITIL can serve as a growth enabler by giving structure to compa- nies work activities. On the other hand, organizations should consider ITIL more as guide- lines than a framework. This research also discovered that using ITIL frameworks can make work procedures more complex and time demanding, and due to this, small- to me- dium-sized companies could face more struggle in the implementation phase of ITIL.
