The present thesis focuses on the issue of domestic violence, describing the phenomenon from an historical, statistical and legislative point of view. In particular, after an introduction of the history and specific measures adopted to fight the issue worldwide, such as the CEDAW and DEVAW Conventions, the Beijing Conference and the Istanbul Convention, and the analysis of the related statistics of IPV (Intimate Partner Violence) and domestic homicide, the study focuses on the related legislation of China and Italy, underlining the laws of the two countries, starting from the first Marriage Law of the RPC to the last Law 69/2019 adopted in 2019 by the Italian government. The final aim is to provide the reader with the right instruments to understand and critically analyse the situation in both countries caused by the phenomenon.

The aim of this thesis is to provide a comparative analysis of the institute of mediation in Italy and China, focusing, in particular, on the institutional and regulatory framework of this means of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in both countries. For this purpose, this dissertation is structured as follows: in the first chapter, I describe mediation in general terms, providing some basic and fundamental information about this ADR method (principles, fields of activity, types, procedure, pros and cons, role of mediator, and international development). In the second chapter, I specifically analyze traditions and trends of China’s mediation system, or tiaojie 调解, considered the oldest and most comprehensive dispute resolution program in the world. It includes, in fact, three different categories of mediation: judicial, extra-judicial (divided into People’s mediation, administrative mediation and commercial mediation), and during arbitration proceedings. Moreover, the major institution dealing with mediation in China, that is the Mediation Center of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT)/China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) is also described. In the third chapter, instead, I outline the use of mediation in Italy, with particular reference to the Italian experience as far as mandatory mediation is concerned and the role of the Milan Chamber of Arbitration (CAM). Finally, the fourth and last chapter focuses on the resolution of commercial disputes between Italy and China through the Italy-China Business Mediation Center (ICBMC), which is the result of a cooperation agreement between the above-mentioned leading providers of mediation services in both China and Italy, and the Italy-China Chamber of Commerce (CCIC).

The object of this dissertation is the analysis of the principle of good faith in general and of its application in Italian and in Chinese jurisprudence in particular.
In the first chapter I started introducing a definition of the principle in general and according to the Italian legal system. I made a brief historical excursus of the principle of good faith, describing the distinction between subjective and objective good faith and its expanding process in Italy from 1865 to the contemporary legal system. I underlined the differences of the conception of the principle of good faith within common and civil law countries and analyzed its application in contracts, including all the stages of life of the contract, its formation, execution, modification, annulment or termination.
In the second chapter I analyzed the notion of good faith in China, its introduction and development. I started analyzing the introduction of the general clause of good faith in China and how this principle has changed in Chinese perception becoming more and more important and widespread so that, since 1990s, has been defined as the “queen of the general clauses” (帝王 条款 diwangtiaokuan). Then I described the development in China of Contract Law and the importance of good faith according to this new law and its applications in contracts.
In the last chapter I decided to make concrete examples of the violation of the principle of good faith analyzing different cases of non-fulfilment of duties from the parties of contracts between China and Italy.

This exploratory study is a cross-cultural comparative analysis of understanding inclusive education in Italy and China. The exploratory study aims to explore teachers' understanding of inclusive in Italian and Chinese context. Given that aim, a historical perspective is employed to understand the historical policy evolution of inclusive education in Italy and China and to carefully examine how inclusive education policy was issued in different history periods and how these inclusive education policies influenced the school practice. Particularly, based on the understanding of inclusive education in government policy and school teachers' day-to-day school practice, the present exploratory study wants to enrich our knowledge of "how to make education more inclusive" from a cross-cultural comparative perspective. In order to achieve these aims, a qualitative research design is employed, with understanding theory as a theoretical framework and various methods as tools. Thematic analysis is used to analyze the data with software-ATLAS.ti-aided.
This cross-cultural comparative exploratory study's results show that a proper understanding of inclusive education should fully consider the local flavour in both Italian and Chinese cultural, historical and political contexts. Considering that, this exploratory study, to some extent, is not "comparative" because there is no attempt to treat the data from two quite different contexts as comparable, but I wish that various questions and issues which emerge from considering two quite different contexts, Italy and China, will be illuminating and enrich our understanding of how to make education more inclusive. Given the results of this exploratory study, there is not a single understanding of inclusive education. On the contrary, inclusive education has many faces, for that point, Chinese philosophy of "he er bu tong" (harmony but not sameness) provides us some implications.

Il mercato del destination wedding in Cina sta crescendo rapidamente, inizialmente concentrato nel sud-est asiatico, soprattutto nelle isole, come Bali e Phuket, ora, la continua ricerca di "occidentalizzazione" in particolare da parte dei giovani cinesi, arriva ad influenzare anche uno dei mercati più votati alla tradizione, ossia quello dei matrimoni; facendo si che destinazioni Europee,come l'Italia, entrino a far parte dell'immaginario e dei desideri delle coppie cinesi.
Grazie all'aiuto studi precedenti (su matrimoni e mercato dei matrimoni), ricerche e statistiche proposte da enti governativi e non ma, soprattutto grazie ad interviste con professionisti del settore e ponendo grande attenzione alle loro impressioni e reali bisogni, l'autore cerca di sintetizzare le basi del mercato del destination wedding, ossia il turismo e in particolare il mercato del turismo di lusso, e le sue peculiarità.
Il proposito di questo lavoro è di fornire una visione il più possibile completa ed attuale del marcato del destination wedding, sia in Italia che in Cina, per permettere di estrapolarne differenze e necessità e quindi di rispondere con offerte più appropriate alle coppie cinesi.
Nella speranza che possa essere d'aiuto per la cooperazione e la conoscenza reciproca dei mercati italiano e cinese, per migliorare l'offerta attuale del nostro paese e dei nostri professionisti e far si che possano incontrare i reali bisogni della domanda e raggiungere una crescita a livello economico ed un graduale ampliamento dell'offerta attuale.

Yuanming Yuan è l’unico giardino Imperiale nella storia cinese, unisce giardini classici cinesi e giardini dell’Italia Rinascimentale e Barocca.
Architetto Significativo per Yuanming Yuan
Giuseppe Castiglione (1688 – 1766): La storia del Western Mansions ha inizio nel 1747, quando l’architetto, Giuseppe Castiglione riceve l’incarico di intraprendere i lavori del nuovo giardino Italiano dentro il giardino imperiale Yuanming Yuan.
Giuseppe Castiglione ha avuto un ruolo importante come pittore, architetto, e politico nei tempi suoi in Cina. Castiglione riunì cultura tra Oriente e Occidente, teoria e pratica, potenza e virtù, pensiero e azione.
Il Preludio: una genealogia di ricerche accademiche occidentali dei Yuanming Yuan (dal 1743 ad oggi).
Nel primo capitolo vengono presentati i principi di arrangiamento dello spazio del Western Mansions – gli assi ortogonali per rappresentare la pianificazione territoriale, le prospettiva geometrica per ricercare la sequenza spazio, e gli elementi Italiani per leggere compositivamente il giardino.
Nel secondo capitolo seguiranno note sui tradizionali giardini Cinesi di Yuanming Yuan – un sistema di Modularità. Il capitolo presenta Le Quaranta scene di Yuanming Yuan (1744) e la Cartografia di giardini anglo-cinese da Georges Louis Le Rouge (1707 – 1790), che sono stati analizzati per ricercare il sistema di Modularità del giardino Yuanming Yuan.
Queste note servono a introdurre il terzo capitolo – il capitolo delle sperimentazioni sui giardini. I campioni rappresentativi delle sperimentazioni provengono dalle Bibliothèque nationale de France, dalle Mission Palais d’été, e dall’Università Tsinghua. Gli strumenti della mia ricerca scientifica sono stati: il modello tridimensionale digitale, il calcolo matematico, e l’analisi tipologica.

Crowdfunding as an alternative method for financing activities by raising money from the community traces way back to the 19th century but in recent years has regained popularity as the result of two important socio-cultural and economic events: the rise of the Web 2.0 Era and the financial crisis of the year 2008. A final taxonomy of the various business models adopted by crowdfunding portals was made only in 2012. The crowdfunding market is growing fast and big year-by-year nevertheless, for purposes of this thesis, it has been explored in detail the crowdfunding activity in the Italian and Chinese market and tried to underline the differences and common features in terms of its birth and its scope within these two markets. According to predictions, the Asian crowdfunding market, especially the Chinese market, will be the real global driver in the next five/ten years with over 50% of the global market share thus, the overcoming of the legislative gaps and a simplification of the bureaucratic framework on an international scale may foster a more efficient circulation of money and investments throughout the countries.

The cruise sector is experiencing an unprecedent growth, as shown by the increasing demand for cruises from East Asia markets, especially from China. The increasing complexity of market needs, both from a functional (comfort, design, facilities) as well as from an emotional point of view, is giving rise to a differentiated demand which is not just a simple challenge that need to be addressed by the major cruise shipyards who want to compete at world level.
Traditionally, Europe has always dominated the shipbuilding market; this said, in recent years, it has given way to the expansion of Far East-based shipyards such as China, South Korea and Japan.
This switch has been made possible thanks to favourable manufacturing costs, low labour costs and government financial support.
In this thesis, my primary aim is to investigate how Italy can cooperate with Chinese shipyards in the cruise shipbuilding sector; I also put forward some forecasts about future trends backed by consistent data and information emerged from the interview I had with Fincantieri S.p.a.
After an overview of the Italian and Chinese cruise shipbuilding markets and their changes over times, I shift my focus on the cooperation between Fincantieri, the major Italian shipbuilding player, and the Chinese shipyard CSSC. These two companies have signed a Joint Venture agreement that has boosted the development of the Baoshan cruise park. This is a new project that aims to create a new cruise park for the boarding and landing of passengers. It also includes an area dedicated to cruise ship construction and refitting, where the Italian know-how and refined design can perfectly match with the Chinese skilled workforce.
In conclusion, I analyse the development of Fincantieri in Italy and in China, their business model and the mass customization project they are carrying out in order to meet the different needs of a multifaceted clientele.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The growing importance of international exchanges in arts and culture is considered a response to globalization, a debated notion which has been the subject of multiple theories and definitions. The research, first of all, aims to define internationalization practices in the arts and to analyze which are the reasons, the drivers, the objectives and the interests behind these practices using the representative context of opera houses. Their suitability as empirical case lies in their mixed artistic product, encroaching on music and performing arts, which are even more challenging art sectors among others. Furthermore, their representativeness is emphasized by the new possibilities offered by the geographical expansion of opera production and distribution. After the creation of a possible model for the analysis of processes of internationalization in the artistic and in the production sector, the research will be conducted in two complementary directions, one focused on the analysis of internationalization practices and possible strategies and the other on the process of creation of an international reputation through competencies exchanges. In order to understand how theatre’s international activities can be classified, which are the drivers guiding them, and if we can refer to strategies put in action by theatres on the precise sector of internationalization, evidences from four Italian representative opera houses will be analyzed, namely Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, Teatro dell’Opera di Firenze, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and Teatro Regio di Torino.
Concerning the second part, the Chinese opera market will be then analyzed with a study on the process of reputation construction at the international level of the Beijing National Centre for the Performing Arts, a theatre located in a non Western operatic tradition but performing Western opera for the majority. Through the analysis of opera titles and the evolution of cast choices, the progressive internationalization of production activities will be stated. The international reputation construction process, will be then investigated through the testimony of artists involved in the production of Norma at NCPA in 2014. This mixed approach makes it possible to understand if opera houses in different environments plan their choices according to specific strategies or depending on the context, and if a traditional opera country and a new market interested in opera, can match their purposes in a mutual collaboration perspective. The results suggest that possible strategies addressing internationalization in Italian opera houses exist only in few cases, but they are not consciously carried on by managers. On the other hand, the exploration of the Chinese market demonstrates the presence of a growing industry with its peculiarities. In particular the field work at NCPA shows that, within the process of creating an international reputation on Western opera, the “Italian way” of setting up opera is an attractive factor. These considerations open up a multitude of possibilities not only for Italian theaters but also for employees, managers and experts within the whole opera sector.

L’obbiettivo della presente tesi e’ duplice: (i) analizzare la possibile integrazione di modelli multiscala e multicriteriali per valutare l’efficacia di politiche di sviluppo rurale nel raggiungimento di obiettivi di sostenibilita’; (ii) esplorare, tramite l’applicazione dei suddetti modelli, gli impatti economici, ambientali e sociali di specifiche strategie di sviluppo rurale in due aree di studio localizzate in Italia e Cina. L’analisi si basa sulla selezione e valutazione di indicatori multidimensionali, che fanno riferimento ai principali obiettivi delle politiche studiate. Inoltre, un’analisi multiscala e’ realizzata per definire i possibili limiti e trade-off di future politiche di sviluppo a diverse scale di analisi. L’utilizzo delle due metodologie si e’ dimostrato particolarmente efficace per la realizzazione di uno studio integrato in grado di rappresentare, tramite analisi qualitative e quantitative, l’aspetto multidimensionale delle politiche di sviluppo rurale.The objective of this thesis is twofold: (1) to investigate the synergies arising from the implementation of multi-scale and multi-criteria approaches in the evaluation of rural development policies (RDP); (2) to explore the impacts and trade-offs of RDP in two selected case studies located in Italy and China. The thesis argues that multi-criteria and multi-scale approaches can be combined to provide a useful framework with which to structure an integrated analysis of RDP in order to assess their effectiveness in achieving sustainability goals across scales. The analysis is performed by selecting and evaluating multidimensional criteria, which represent the main goals of development policies in the areas of study. Moreover, multi-scale analysis is performed to define boundary conditions and trade-offs for future local development. The use of the two methodologies appears to be very significant to capture both the multidimensional and multi-scale aspects of the Rural Development Policies analysed and to generate several sets of “view-dependent” representations of rural systems that are useful for trade-off assessments.

The thesis develops around the role of women in the communication strategies of fashion firms. Each chapter expands on a comparison between Italy and China; the analysis concerns on how brands, that have great influence on the European market, readapt their advertising campaigns and their communication to the Chinese market. Particularly, the topic develops around female icons, aesthetic changes, formal and symbolic ones, that are adopted in order to respect the culture and the Eastern consumer's preferences. The aim is to show how flexibility is at the basis of business success and the ability to understand different types of consumers (their values, customs, culture and tradition). Finally, the thesis wants to show how brands can take advantage of these, creating an effective and targeted communication. The analysis would focus on women: the aim is to verify if there is a kind of mercification or respect in the choice of icons and messages in the communication strategies. I would like to understand the processes through which effective communication is achieved; how marketing works to make the message clear and impactful and the implications on management of fashion firms.

The dissertation will analyze the Italian wood-furniture
sector. In particular, a definition and understanding of design as a
concept and its relationship with innovation will be given in the
first chapter. In the second, there will be a focus on the Italian
market trends, on the manufacturers of furnishing products and on the
importance of internationalization as a strategy to reach foreign
markets. In the third, I will expand the lenses of the analysis by
trying to focus on the markets in which the Italian furniture export
is stronger. Countries such as USA and China represent the two main
export destinations for what concerns the furniture industry. As a
consequence, those are the two markets I will mainly focus my
attention to. Finally in last chapter, three different italian
furniture manufacturers will be analyzed (Arflex, Cassina & Natuzzi),
taking the sofa as a reference, in order to understand how the same
piece of furniture (the sofa) is presented, in different
countries/markets. It will be interesting to analyze the similarities
or differences in the strategies that these companies use to penetrate
different markets, the pricing strategies they adopt, and the behavior
and tastes of the consumers that purchase them. Moreover, the
interview with the operation manager of DzineNY (the exclusive
distributor of Arflex for the US market), will be reported at the end

The main object of this thesis is the study and the analysis of the digital commerce of the Made in Italy agri-food products, since they are one of the most important symbols of the tradition of the Italian style and Made in Italy all over the world.
The Italian Wine is well known in almost every part the world, for its long history, quality and taste. Many people come to Italy every year to visit wineries and the “food and wine” tourism is developing very quickly.
First of all, the thesis gives a general overview of the Italian agri-food products in the Chinese market, underlining the strengths and weaknesses that the food and beverage industry faces in such a distant country (both in term of geographical and cultural distance).
In the second chapter I would like to better analyze one of the most exported Italian product in China, that is to say the wine, with particular attention to the Italian red wine. This part of the thesis is going to be a summary of the main characteristics of the wine. I will try to show the importance and quality of the Italian wine, focusing for example on the denomination of origin and certification, the history and the development of the Italian wine in China.
The third chapter explains the differences in the behavior of Italian and Chinese consumers in the approach of the wine and alcohol market. It also takes into consideration the development of the market in the Chinese context presents some difficulties since China can still be defined as a non-acquainted market, that is to say that consumers do not perfectly recognize the quality of the products and this is a reason why small and medium enterprises find difficult to enter the market and they are obliged to follow big multinational companies.
In my analysis I would like to concentrate my attention on the tools that both Italy and China offer to SMEs in order to facilitate the penetration of the market. Obviously, in this field, Alibaba Group play a fundamental role but there are also other digital realities that the Italian companies can experience to be successful in China.

Private governance and CSR are partially interwoven but are not the same on the whole. CSR roots deeply in social values, so does some initiatives in form of private governance. As ideology and practice, sustainable development has been influential for decades, and represents one of the mainstream social values. The thesis analyses above phenomena in Italy and China mainly, as well as other countries when necessary, with a focus on enterprise. Specifically, CSR, which is intrinsically related to sustainable development and often realised with the involvement of private governance, will be studied by comparing CSR in Italy and CSR in China, and by analysing the connections between the two from a transnational perspective.

The topic of my Ph.D. thesis is the finite element modeling of coseismic deformation imaged by DInSAR and GPS data. I developed a method to calculate synthetic Green functions with finite element models (FEMs) and then use linear inversion methods to determine the slip distribution on the fault plane. The method is applied to the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake (Italy) and to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (China). I focus on the influence of rheological features of the earth's crust by implementing seismic tomographic data and the influence of topography by implementing Digital Elevation Models (DEM) layers on the FEMs. Results for the L’Aquila earthquake highlight the non-negligible influence of the medium structure: homogeneous and heterogeneous models show discrepancies up to 20% in the fault slip distribution values. Furthermore, in the heterogeneous models a new area of slip appears above the hypocenter. Regarding the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the very steep topographic relief of Longmen Shan Range is implemented in my FE model. A large number of DEM layers corresponding to East China is used to achieve the complete coverage of the FE model. My objective was to explore the influence of the topography on the retrieved coseismic slip distribution. The inversion results reveals significant differences between the flat and topographic model. Thus, the flat models frequently adopted are inappropriate to represent the earth surface topographic features and especially in the case of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.

Regarding the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the very steep topographic relief of Longmen Shan Range is implemented in my FE model. A large number of DEM layers corresponding to East China is used to achieve the complete coverage of the FE model. My objective was to explore the influence of the topography on the retrieved coseismic slip distribution. The inversion results reveals significant differences between the flat and topographic model. Thus, the flat models frequently adopted are inappropriate to represent the earth surface topographic features and especially in the case of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.

With the development of international trade, shifts in food consumption habits and in the demand for foreign food products have occured, especially in emerging countries. The growing adaptation to Western tastes has influenced food exports, including those of the increasingly well-known Italian agri-food sector. Many economists consider this industry as one of the main drivers of the economic growth of our country; this is especially due to the brilliant dynamics of Made in Italy agri-food exports, which are reaching even more distant markets such as China. The Dragon, after its adhesion to the WTO, has undergone a process of socio-economic development and market liberalization, which has favored foreign presence in the country. Chinese authorities were, therefore, committed to change its regulatory system to ensure that it was in line with the international framework and to promote cooperation through the signing of bilateral trade agreements, an important tool also for trade development. Having considered the above, the objective of my thesis is to provide an empirical analysis of the opportunities of Made in Italy agri-food products' exports to the Chinese market. First, my research has focused on the requirements and procedures that exporters have to follow to export agri-food products, by taking into consideration the norms of both the European Union and China. Then, I have provided some literary review in order to understand the legal-ground of these norms and the impact of international trade on the Chinese market development, in particular from a socio-economic point of view. Based on this, I have also considered, as a consequence of the structural changes of global trade, the impact on Made in Italy agri-food exports and the growing importance of enterprises’ internationalization processes. Finally, I have provided an empirical analysis based on two research questions, which have been discussed and verified, having considered the most representative food products namely: dairy products, coffee, wine, pasta, olive oil, fresh fruit and meat.

Certain values are at stake for the success of economic behavior. Since the genesis of modern capitalism a set of beliefs proper of Calvinism (mainly Predestination but also Beruf, Inner-worldly Asceticism, role of Sects…) was said by Max Weber to cause an anxiety about salvation and generate a propensity to economic success as a sign of election. I argue on the contrary that the Calvinist belief in the Perpetual Assurance of Salvation might cause a sense of self-efficacy able to favor economic success. In order to observe this in action today it is crucial to consider the evolution that the Protestant ethic went through migrating first in north America and lastly through the Protestant revival of China. Wenzhou is called ‘Jerusalem of China’ for its large Protestant community that is also strongly involved in business. Some scholar already pointed out the presence among those entrepreneurs of this Protestant ethic (Yi Xiang, Boss-Christian…). The data presented in this comparative qualitative study pertain to ethnographic observations, job-shadowing and interviews done among Chinese Christian and non-Christian entrepreneurs from Wenzhou living in Milan, Italy. The results show with some adjustments the presence of a Chinese-version of the Protestant ethic overlapping with several values proper to the Chinese context (Confucianism, lineage, social network). The extension of the study to other cases must be done with caution considering the non-causal justificatory role of the belief. Regardless: successful entrepreneurship involves specific social, cultural and even religious aspects that move beyond mere business strategies.

A Paris comme à Milan, l’implantation des communautés catholiques d’origine chinoise, qui se sont développées tout au long du XXe siècle, a suivi le rythme des fluctuations de l’histoire migratoire du continent asiatique. Prenant la mesure de l’enjeu de l’accueil de ces nouveaux fidèles, les autorités ecclésiastiques françaises et italiennes ont mis en place un certain nombre de structures et de dispositifs particuliers. A travers une étude ethnographique comparative, cette thèse propose d’analyser la façon dont les institutions ecclésiastiques de chaque pays accompagnent la structuration de ces groupes de fidèles chinois. Au cours de ce travail de recherche, nous nous sommes intéressés notamment aux différents parcours de vie de ces croyants, ainsi qu’aux motivations à la base de leur foi catholique. Plus particulièrement, nous avons analysé la façon dont ces éléments influençaient leur pratique quotidienne du catholicisme. Nous avons également étudié le rôle que ces communautés catholiques jouent en termes de maintien du lien de ces migrants chinois avec leur pays d’origine et leur cultureChinese Catholic communities living in Paris and Milan developed throughout 20th century following Asian migration flows. Being aware of the challenge of welcoming these new believers, French and Italian church authorities implemented specific structures for Catholic migrants. Through a comparative ethnographic study, this thesis offers to analyze how ecclesiastical institutions in Italy and France follow the structuring of Chinese faithful groups. During this research, we focused on churchgoers’ life stories and motivations behind their Catholic faith. More specifically, we analyzed how all these elements influenced their daily practice of Catholicism. We also studied the role that these Catholic communities play in terms of keeping connections between Chinese migrants and their culture

During my studying period in China it has been possible to notice how China is fascinated by the agri-food Made in Italy products. In this dissertation I analyze the relationship between Italian agri-food products and China, with a particular focus on how Italy can succeed to protect its agri-food Made in Italy in the Chinese market. First I describe the environment around the Made in Italy, various rules dictated by the European Union and the World Trade Organization have created a frame on what Made in Italy should consist of and how it is protected and preserved. Furthermore an essential aspect to consider is the Chinese market and in particular the Chinese consumers, their opening and fascination for Italian products, followed by a description of what Made in Italy is, focusing in particular on agri-food products. Finally I analyze the rising e-commerce channel in China, considering its development and how Italian agri-food products are managed inside the most important Chinese trade websites.

This work aims at analysing the different spread, impact and importance that digital payments have in two specific areas: China and Italy. Starting from an overview of the historical evolution of money and the description of payment systems, the first chapter underlines how digital payments are playing a crucial role in the countries’ economic and financial environments. Nevertheless, they are developed and perceived by countries in different ways. In the second chapter, after an explanation of the evolution of the Chinese financial sector, I will investigate the development of electronic payments, from card payments to mobile payment services. In the third chapter, then, I will consider the Italian context, offering an overview of cards and mobile payments. In conclusion, as China’s mobile payment services continue to grow both domestically and globally, I will examine the spread and influence that these services have abroad, specifically in Italy. I have conducted a field survey considering an area in which Chinese presence is high and impactful in Italy, i.e. the high fashion context.

Industrial design is increasingly playing a significant role in every national industry and gives the product and the company a competitive advantage in the global market. For this reason, it is essential for international companies to equip themselves with instruments that, on one hand, offer legal protection to their design works and, on the other, represent an incentive for innovation, creativity, research, and development. If companies fail in giving an appropriate protection to their design works, the economic losses can be heavy. The following thesis intends, therefore, to analyse the legal doctrine dedicated to the works of industrial design both in Italy, in the first chapter, and in China, in the second chapter, and the differentiation between Patent and Copyright, focusing on the requirements needed by design works to be protectable by Copyright as works of applied art. The third chapter presents a case study regarding the famous ready-to-assemble furniture enterprise Inter Ikea Group and the Chinese Company Taizhou Zhongtian Plastic Co., Ltd for a dispute over copyright infringement. The case study is supported by the translation and analysis of the original text of the Court judgment.

ABSTRACT
Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to empirically investigate the influence that the use of real-time marketing message creativity (CREA) and humor (HUMO) has on consumer brand engagement on social media (CBEN) and electronic word-of-mouth intention (EWOM). Moreover, this study tests the relationship between CBEN and EWOM, by trying to investigate whether the former has a positive effect on the latter, and, by trying to understand if both self-enhancement (SENH) and social bonding (SBON) exert a moderating effect between the two variables. The analysis was carried out in Italy and China, in order to investigate cross-cultural differences between these two different and dissimilar countries.
Design/methodology/approach – Two questionnaires, made of the exact same number of blocks and questions, translated in Italian and Chinese, were administered to social media users between August 3rd and August 10th. Two filter questions and two attention checks in the questionnaires revealed a final sample of 100 respondents for both countries. The hypothesized relationships were tested through partial least squares structural equation modeling technique, developed using the SmartPLS software.
Findings – The results report that CREA and HUMO have a positive effect on both CBEN and EWOM in China, and that CREA has a positive effect on CBEN and EWOM in Italy. Moreover, CBEN was found to have a positive influence on EWOM intention in both countries, and neither SENH nor SBON were found to have a moderating effect on the relationship in neither country.
Implications – Findings from this study reinforce the idea that brands and companies should try to “join the conversation” with their customers online, by encouraging the application of RTM strategies, so as to increase consumers’ social media engagement and their willingness to engage in eWOM activities.
Originality/value - This study is only the fourth of its kind, with pioneering outcomes that contribute to the latest marketing literature on the effectiveness of social media real-time marketing strategies, in terms of engagement and WOM intention. Findings provide unique and fundamental contributions in the field of cross-cultural studies as well.

Iran, with its attractive geographical position and its abundant natural resources, has had an undeniable attraction for the world's greatest powers over the history. Well before the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, this country established high level of economic interactions with a great variety of political partners. In recent years, the country's change of regime has had a crucial impact on those relationships. By analysing the trade data between Iran and Western countries (the U.S.A., Canada, the U.K., France, Germany, and Italy) as well as the major Eastern countries (China, Russia, and India), it is possible to establish a better understanding of how political events have impacted Iran's commerce with the world's major economic players. It is also possible to understand how the change of direction of the Iranian's imports and exports can impact the behavior of the other nations studied. This research focuses on the analysis of Iranian trade since 1969, ten years before the revolution and until 2009.B.A.

The work in chapter 1 exploits the timing and public circulation of budget forecasts in Italian
municipalities in order to produce empirical evidence of strategic behaviour by mayors on their
promised investments. In particular, using a province fixed-effects model, mayors are shown to
over-promise investments in election years by 20% more than over the rest of the term. The
results are driven by mayors who are not term-limited, and also by those unaffiliated to national
parties and with greater levels of education, in line with previous evidence produced over political
budget cycles. Moreover, mayors who over-promise more in election years are those who engage
in higher pre-electoral increases in investments, thus creating a bridge between traditional po-
litical budget cycle and this strategic behaviour. Lastly, I present some suggestive evidence of a
positive effect of the strategic behaviour on the probability of re-running and of being re-elected.
There has been a recent surge of interest in the link between globalization and the political
repercussions caused by increased exposure to low-cost import competition, which has found
it to cause increased political polarization and a surge in vote for radical right-wing parties.
The second chapter focuses on Italy, which is an interesting case study given its highly-exposed
economy, and its multi-party system which includes radical right- and left-wing parties and also
populist movements. In order to investigate the political effects caused by the trade shock de-
termined by China's exogenous growth in productivity I construct an exhaustive database on
the period between 1994 to 2016 and find that, in contrast to the related literature, there is no
causal positive effect on the support for radical parties, nor is the rise in populist politics caused
by increased exposure to the Chinese trade shock.

La tesi muove dall’ipotesi che sia possibile costruire un modello predittivo del successo di un prodotto mediale italiano sul mercato cinese, laddove per “successo” s’intenda un impatto culturale ed economico pari a quello di alcuni prodotti benchmark degli ultimi anni (il romanzo L’amica geniale, il film Perfetti sconosciuti, la serie TV My Brilliant Friend). L’impatto culturale è misurato come generazione di discorso online e quello economico con indicatori sia tradizionali, nel caso della distribuzione fisica, sia digitali nel caso di quella online.

Cultural impact is measured as the generation of online discourse, while the economic impact by traditional and digital indicators, for physical and online distributions respectively. The three cases used as benchmarks served to provide online discourse material from which to extract predictive variables by Python 3-supported LDA topic modelling and sentiment analysis. In chapter 1 Digital Humanities (DH) are explored and defined as a field of study. Chapter 2 summarises the main theories about cultural production. Chapter 3 details the methodology and its empirical application, also containing a section devoted to testing, which in turn confirmed the model’s reliability. Results show that DH’s tools were a proper choice, while last century’s theories of cultural production may benefit from updates. Three sets of variables to predict Italian media products in China were identified.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the internal communication, as a dimension of internal marketing, in a global multicultural company. The study was based on a conceptual model that is a miscellany of theoretical concepts of how to create effective internal marketing communication for global organizations. Through the investigation of the company referred to as Alpha, a quantitative study across six countries was conducted to further the knowledge on how to address the needs of internal customers and adjust the internal marketing strategy thereafter. A questionnaire was sent to a random sample, with a response rate of 215 employees that together reflected the total population of 2831. Through the usage of ANOVAs, the findings displayed significant differences of how the employees in all countries perceived the internal communication at Alpha. The study also compared differences within two countries where there was enough data to investigate differences between categories of employees, these results were not significant. In general, it can be said that the results were grouped by the differences of the three European countries against the three non-European countries. Another prominent finding was that China was separated from the other countries, this was also the instance collectively shown for Sweden and Finland as they were often grouped together. The implications are that possible differences in business culture may have affected these results, which further studies need to investigate. The results jointly report that the internal customers are not satisfied with the internal communication. The conclusion is that the needs of the employees at Alpha should be addressed much further, as a part of the company internal marketing communication strategy.

Finally, the third chapter analyses the effects of incentive mechanisms on the behaviours of primary health workers and the subsequent effects on the quality of hypertension management. The empirical investigation suggests that negative financial incentives could motivate primary health workers and improve the quality of hypertension management.

Drawing on a set of both Italian, English and Chinese sources that were taken in little or no consideration until now, this dissertation argued that with the internationalising of Manchurian Crisis in Northeast China, or rather, the Sino-Japanese conflict in 1931 and 1932, Fascist Italy obtained an opportunity to participate into the collective action of the League of Nations in Chinese issue, where Italy used to be absent for not a short period of time. Subsequent to that first participation, Fascist Government then participated in the technical cooperation between the League of Nations and China like the other Great Powers had done. As the National Government of China sent delegation to Europe and America, with a view to requesting loan and assistance from the Western world, the project of economic cooperation between Italy and China was proposed in Rome following the visit of eminent Chinese political personalities. However, the hesitation of Fascist Government in capital investigation and the political instability of Nanjing Government delayed the negotiations of cooperation project and finally ended the bilateral economic cooperation in vain. At the same time, the military cooperation, especially in the Air Force, developed smoothly, being characterized by several facts, such as Italian military missions coming to China, Italy accepting and training Chinese military officers, China purchasing a large number of aircrafts and munitions, and Italy assisting with the establishment of Chinese aircraft factory. Nevertheless, Nationalist China adhered to the sanctions of the League of Nations against Fascist Italy's invasion in Ethiopia in 1935, which gave a hit on the cooperation between two governments. The Fascist Italy's recognition of Japanese puppet regime in China, in the end, knocked the bilateral cooperation off the table.

The Aerosol atmospheric particles give the major contribution to the uncertainties in the knowledge of the atmospheric processes and the radiation balance of the Earth. They play a strong role in the dynamics of the climate change and, at least, in the human health and safety. In fact the transport of huge mass of desert dust or volcanic ash related to eruption, but also still the air pollution in the high industrialized area of our planet, can have several consequences in the human cycles and can hinder the normal human activities as happen in some big city of the China and India, or also in the airports, when the presence of volcanic ash poses serious problems related to the flight safety.
However, the great importance that have these particles, is not accompanied by a good knowledge of their properties, due to the vastness of their nature. At present there is a great interest in advancing ever more precise studies on these atmospheric components. In particular, in order to study the climate change, weather forecast and environmental pollution associated with fine particles, volcanic ashes transport information on aerosol sources and synoptic scale measurements (possibly with a time series perspective) are hence necessaries.
A performing way to investigate the atmospheric particles is obtained by measuring of the properties of the light scattering and absorption that these particles produced when they interact with the light. This way is known as remote sensing technique. Several instruments are based on this technique but most of them perform measures on the integrated air column and are not able to give spatially resolved information.
Conversely, the LIDAR (Light detection and ranging) technique is presently considered an ideal system for the investigation of the atmospheric particles being able to perform measurement in 4D (space and time) with high spatial and time resolution and high sounding range distance.
A lidar system can be arranged in different configurations, making it sensible to specific optical interactions and allowing to obtain different levels of knowledge of the aerosol properties.
Whatever the configuration, it is always possible to schematize a lidar as basically consisting of a transmitter and a receiver: short laser pulses are sent into the atmosphere and a telescope collects the backscatter photons; these are spectrally analyzed in order to obtain aerosol optical and microphysical information.
If the required information are the microphysical properties of the particles a lidar based on single wavelength elastic is not enough, because it allows to know only a limited number of properties.
More complex lidar configurations are then required to retrieve information about the shape and the thermodynamic phase of the particles.
The present work deals with the problem of the aerosol characterization by using is new LIDAR system designed and developed in the frame of the AMPLE (Aerosol Multi-wavelength Polarization Lidar Experiment) project by the National Interuniversity Consortium for the Physical Sciences of Matter, CNISM, Unit of Napoli in the framework of two scientific cooperation programs with Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, INGV, Section of Catania, (Italy) and the Beijing Research Institute for Telemetry, BRIT, (People's Republic of China).
The AMPLE lidar represents a very innovation with respect to standard high performance atmospheric lidars, thanks to the relatively high repetition rate laser source, fast single photon counting, angular scanning and, for the first time, the depolarization ratio measurements at two wavelengths (355 nm and 532 nm).
In this contest, as part of my personal PhD work, several data campaigns have been done in different sites (Dunhuang, Catania, Napoli, Beijing, Lijiang) with the AMPLE lidars and the data collected in two of these campaigns have been analyzed.
A first observation is related to the data collected from fresh volcanic ash produced by the Strombolian Etna volcano eruption, occurred on 16th of December 2013. During the observed event, the AMPLE lidar was located close the active crater of mount Etna in order to characterize for the first time the fresh volcanic ash, in terms of aerosol backscatter, extinction, lidar ratio profiles, aerosol depolarization ratio and ash concentration.
The second important observed phenomena is related to the campaign which took place in Dunhuang, a huge area close to the Gobi desert in China. During this campaign a strong dust event has been recorded, allowing for the first time to study the properties of dust at source and not after long travels in the atmosphere with consequent mixing with local aerosol. The properties are studied in terms of backscatter coefficients, their ratio at two different wavelengths (the Colour Index), ratio of backscattering to extinction coefficient (Lidar Ratio), and for the first time, the linear depolarization at two wavelengths.
These works on data analysis are accompanied to another substantial modelling part inherent a new method for the retrieval of optical and micro-physical properties of the particles from lidar measurements of particles optical properties.
In fact, unfortunately, also the best performing lidars are able to give a set of particles optical parameters constituted by the values of the extinction coefficient at two wavelengths and the backscattering coefficient at three wavelengths. These data are related in a complex way to the concentration, chemical-physical and geometrical particles properties.
Until now there is no stable way to obtain, by lidar data a direct measurements of the microphysical parameters, since these properties are in complicated relationships in the formulation of the optical lidar products. Adding to this, the retrieval of the extinction parameter presents several critical points, it produces instable solution and some a-priori assumption are needed.
For the modeling part of my thesis I worked on two new methods for the retrieval respectively of the optical and the microphysical parameters.
The first part of this work has been done in collaboration with MIDA (Methods for Image and Data Analysis) group at the Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Genova and ALA (Advanced Lidar Applications) srl; It consisted of the development of a new method for the inversion of the single Raman equation (related to atmospheric Raman process), to find a stable solution for the extinction parameter.
In this frame we have proposed and tested a new discrete and iterative solution based on the well known EM (Expectation-Maximization) method.
The second part of the modelling work has been carried out within a cooperation program between MIDA, CNR-SPIN groups and ALA srl, the work represents an important point in the lidar applications. In fact, the target is to obtain information about size, density and refractive index of aerosol particles and their spatial profiles, from a single lidar instrument able to provide at least measurements of 3 backscattering and 2 extinction coefficients.

InSAR algorithms have been widely applied in monitoring and mapping for the purposes of engineering geology research and the InSAR derived products have been extensively used in geological risk management by administrative entities and Emergency Management authorities. In this PhD thesis, the research was focusing on the application of InSAR technique, including conventional DInSAR and advanced SqueeSARTM in cold regions, (1) to locate the deformation hotspot caused by permafrost degradation, then to improve the regional permafrost mapping; (2) to analyze the deformation characteristics caused by the degradation of permafrost temporally and spatially.
The research was developed on two sites of cold regions of different geomorphologies. The first case study was focusing on the detection of permafrost degradation phenomena using DInSAR and SqueeSARTM in the low-land permafrost distributed hilly regions in northern Heilongjiang Province, northeastern China. The study area is located at the southern margin of Siberia permafrost region, which is the largest area of the permafrost distribution in the northern Hemisphere. Studies have been revealing that the increasing mean annual air temperature in this study area has been causing the degradation of permafrost in decades and have been bringing geological risks to man-made infrastructures. Initially, the SqueeSARTM analyses using C-band Sentinel-1 and L-band ALOS PALSAR were conducted to reveal the overall displacements time series in the extracted permanent and distributed scatterers of the study area. Then the DInSAR analyses using Sentinel-1 and ALOS PALSAR data were completed to map the deformation hotspot of the study area. Lastly, by combination of the results acquired by SqueeSARTM and DInSAR analyses, the possible spatial distribution of permafrost deformation hotspot was mapped. PS and DS in the permafrost deformation hotspot are selected and analyzed to reveal the characteristics of permafrost degradation in the study area. The results indicate that in the permafrost distributed areas, the deformation velocity has been reduced in recent years from 2015 to 2019 than 2007 to 2010, roughly a decade ago. It could be related to the final degradation phase of the permafrost in recent years.
In the second case study, the feasibility of DInSAR and SqueeSARTM in the study of active rock glacier in Alpine environments of mountainous geomorphologies of Aosta Valley Region, Italy was demonstrated, and the deformation characteristics corresponding to the seasonality of active rock glacier were discovered. The seasonal dynamic feature of the active rock glaciers was then analyzed using the regional monitoring results of Aosta Valley Region using Sentinel-1 SqueeSARTM technique and the regional active rock glacier investigation dataset. Interestingly, according to the result of the analysis, the displacement time series of active rock glacier in Aosta Valley Region has shown a half-year lapse compared with the change of regional annual air temperature that is contradictive to the conventional understanding of permafrost deformation dynamics. The driving factor of such phenomena was left unfound and open to the future analysis. Second, combined with high-resolution optical remote sensing imagery, the conventional DInSAR analysis using ALOS PALSAR data collected in summer season of 2007 has detected more active rock glaciers than the regional active rock glacier investigation dataset. The results have provided the possibility of further analysis of improving active rock glacier mapping using InSAR method in the future.
In conclusion, this research highlights the value of using spaceborne DInSAR and SqueeSARTM methods in mapping and monitoring active periglacial landforms in cold regions at regional scale. Thanks to its short revisiting time and medium to high spatial resolution, Sentinel-1 data can be used for systematic and continuous monitoring of ground deformation, especially slow and very slow periglacial processes due to the changing climate in cold regions but the effectiveness of the usage of Sentinel-1 in dealing with winter snow cover and dense vegetation should be enhanced. On the other hand, L-band ALOS PALSAR data has solved the problem of vegetation coverage, which extensively exists in the cold region that has limited the capability of InSAR monitoring. The methods mentioned in this thesis are intended to be implemented in the regional or local geological hazard management in both study areas.

Nowadays, in the ceramic tile industry, Italy, Spain and Foshan China, which has started the industry in recent years, are the most competitive countries. According to the 2004’s data, the production of the three countries above accounts for 52% of the world’s production. As for the tile export, Italy and Spain alone account for 46% of the world’s tile export. The percentage will be up to 63% if China is added. The three countries have one thing in common-Cluster Effect. Other countries, with no Cluster Effect, can’t take the advantage in competition. It also proved that region economy is usually the best system of competition. The study has been tried to apply the information of manufacturing and consumption in the world, along with theories of Value Chain, Cluster Effect, Diamond Model to explore the development of cluster in Sassuolo Italy, Castellon Spain and Foshan China and analyze their core competition. The study shows that Sassuolo reinforce its leadership with machinery equipment, tacit knowledge and marketing strategy; Castellon upgrades the cluster with the glaze material and the science; Foshan China take part in the industry with cost advantage. Foshan China develops cluster later than do Sassuolo and Castellon, which benefits Foshan to get experience in organizing cluster with competitiveness. The competitiveness is from productivity and innovation not low wages, or a devalued currency.

The reason why the family business succession has aroused peoples interest, from the family enterprise entrepreneur startup has faced the enterprise inheritance question so far. Family enterprises should pass on the enterprise or pass the Yin, is the entrepreneurs intelligence. Therefore, when the entrepreneur inherits, it must consider the business style that the enterprise will move towards the unity or separation of ownership and management right. Therefore, for the family business, the enterprise from how to cultivate the second generation of members, and what kind of cultivation patterns, training methods and use of the succession model, will affect the continuation of the family business, but also is the key issue of sustainable business management. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the type of inheritance, cultivation and operation of small and medium-sized family enterprises in Taiwan by using case study method and in-depth interview method in qualitative research, and selecting six case enterprises for small and medium-sized family enterprises-manufacturing industry in Taiwan.

乌托邦社团和梦想更加美好的世界:关于生命禅园（中国），Christiania（丹麦），Damanhur（意大利）的民族志研究本博士论文探讨乌托邦社团的文化及其所在社会的背景。乌托邦社团的成员们选择了各自的乌托邦团体，作为其创造一个更美好世界的战略位置，并参与了种种变革世界的活动。本文从民族志观点的细节陈述三个社团：1.中国的生命禅园，以自由情爱和共产主义为天堂捷径，最终被当地机关取缔。2.丹麦的Christiania,一个多彩多姿的政治社团，提倡完全民主，为人人都有居住在城市中心的权力和自由而战，同时也是一个庞大的大麻市场，给来自各地的游客们提供了一个体验非主流文化的实验场所。3.Damanhur，一个意大利的灵修社团，那里每个成员都是拯救人类命运的战士。深入的调查显示这些乌托邦团体就像一面面扭曲的镜子，反映出的是该社会尚未解决的价值争议，而并非创建者的虚无幻想。乌托邦社团的出现往往与其所处的社会变革及其特定的历史背景有紧密关系。这份研究还将各邪教惊人的讲故事才能，成员们追捧怪诞信仰的现象与其抗争各社会政治经济领域中的主流文化的关系联系在一起。
This PhD thesis is an exploration into the cultures of utopian communities and the societies in which they are embedded. Members of utopian communities are engaged in transformation projects and have chosen their utopian community as a strategic place from where to make a better world. Three communities are presented in ethnographic detail: 1. Life Chanyuan in China, which has attempted to promote free-love and communism as a short-cut to heaven but was finally closed down by the state, 2. Christiania in Denmark, a colorful political community standing for consensus democracy, the fight for freedom and urban space for all, a massive market for hashish, and a counter-cultural entertainment experience for visitors, and 3. Damanhur, an Italian esoteric community, whose members see themselves as warriors on a mission to rescue humankind. Further analysis shows that all these utopian communities act as distorted mirrors of their societies by addressing their societies’ unresolved value contests. They are not just fictional fantasies of their founders. Intentional communities with utopian aspirations are presented as a regular social phenomenon related to social innovation and change and are shown to engage in historically specific conversation with their societies. This research also connects the amazing capability of story-telling of cultish groups, as well as their members adopting beliefs which at times appear extremely bizarre, with counter-cultural opposition to the dominating paradigms in politics and the economy in different societies.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are notoriously toxic chemicals that pose significant threats to human health and ecosystem security. As a result of their volatility and persistence, POPs can be subject to long-range atmospheric transport (LRAT) and, as a result, may be redistributed globally. The harm of POPs to the eco-system is regarded as a global environmental problem, threatening people and animals, which has caused heavy losses economically, ecologically and socially. The environmental problems caused by POPs have finally lead the international community to address the global presence of POPs and reduce their emissions to the environment. Many treaties and laws have been enacted to eliminate or restrict the production and use of some POPs, of which the Stockholm Convention of 2004 on POPs is one of the most famous.
Soils are important POPs reservoirs due to their tremendous retention capabilities for these compounds. The huge quantities of POPs accumulated in soils have been an important reemission sources to the atmosphere even after the phasing out of these compounds decades ago. Atmospheric processes are largely responsible for the transport and deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and these compounds may adhere to both atmospheric aerosols and dustfall. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) can be easily adsorbed on to suspended particulate matter (SPM) as sediments. SPM can then precipitate in sediments and eventually lower the OCP concentrations in water. Under favorable conditions, sediments can be resuspended, release previously adsorbed OCPs back into the water phase, and initiate another cycle of environmental contamination.
So far, the Stockholm Convention has not been ratified by Italy, however, several other regulatory schemes, such as a European Directive in 2000, the UNECE POPs Protocol, and the Rotterdam Convention, are actively followed. The region of Campania falls within the subtropical zone and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. High temperatures in tropical/subtropical regions can facilitate the volatilization and escape of POPs from soils, sediments, and water. The lack of sufficient data on POPs residues, limits the understanding of their health effects, environmental dynamics, and the ultimate fate of these chemicals. China is one of the largest agricultural industries in the world, and was once the largest global producer and consumer of OCPs, especially in the arable southeast region.
This Ph.D. thesis presents the results of a series of investigations using a systematic sampling method and geostatistics to illustrate spatial and temporal variations in the concentrations of POPs in different environments, and associated human health risks in Campania, Italy, and south-central China.
