Epidemiological and clinical studies point out shiftwork as a risk factor for human health and well being, starting from a disruption of biological circadian rhythms. This thesis aims to critically review the current knowledge about shiftwork and cardiovascular desease from epidemiological evidence to causal pathways. It is also focused on european and italian working-time legislation and on medico-legal aspects involved in litigations.

Pollution, environmental disruption, oversized urban development and infrastructure new construction jeopardize landscape integrity and people's quality of life. Research deals with the landscape protection and enhancement providing governments and decision makers with a comprehensive Decision Support System to assess the quality of natural and cultural heritage and address planning measures and policy actions for landscape treasuring. Research set-up a methodology relying upon GIS tools, to spatially discover, detect and define landscape units, so called "Landscape Elements" ("Elementi di Paesaggio", EdP), along with their endowment such as natural, ecological,historic, cultural, and urban resources. Then evaluate them through a Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) tool set-up by the research team and integrated with a GIS. Research developed a Case Study in the European Mediterranean Basin, validating the whole census system and the performance and support of valuation tools. Results achieved open the possibility to generalize the prototype application at the regional, country and federation levels and therefore support the planning implementation for landscape enhancement.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.09.19

This essay describes Crow beading between 1850 and the 1990s, the tragic disruption of Crow culture and economy after about 1880, and the subsequent increase in beading. The author asks why the art form flourished during such difficult times and goes on to examine policies of the Court of Indian Offenses and several links between beadwork and important cultural values. The author concludes that beadwork gives Crow people considerable pleasure but also strenthens crucial social institutions such as the clan system, concepts of prosperity, andtraditional marriage customs.Nell'articolo l'A. analizza il ricamo a perline dei Crow trail 1850 e il 1990, la tragica disintegrazione della cultura e dell'economia crow dopo il 1880 e il succesivo esplodere del beadwork. L' A. si chiede il perché del fiorire di quest'arte in tempi particolarrnente difficili ed esamina le strategie politiche della Court of Indian Offenses e i molti legami tra beadwork e altri pregnanti valori culturali concludendo che, se quest'arte da un lato dà ai Crow particolare piacere dall'altro ne rafforza anche cruciali istituzioni sociali - come il sistema clanico - la nozione di prosperità e gli usi matrimoniali tradizionali.

(Family nicknames and segments of kinship in Liguria [16th-20th centuries]) Family nicknames provide a useful tool to understand the inner structure of kinship during the ancient régime. This paper charts the ways in which collective nicknames were shaped and reshaped within a Ligurian village between the 16th and the 20th centuries. Such development is linked with the process of cohesion and disruption that runs through a hegemonic kinship from a demographic, economic and political point of view. According to our findings, far from being an essencially monolithic and solidaristic structure, kinship betrayes a complex inner configuration, and one made up of ruptures, alliances, conflicts and mediations among segments of competing kins. Recurring first names as further signs of identification of subkinship segments are also examined and the paper casts light upon the meaning of such segments in their relationship with the commons and usage of material resources, prerogatives and symbolic value. ; On this topic: Massimo Angelini: L'enigma Garibaldo - Invenzione della tradizione, parentele e comunanze in un villaggio rurale di antico regime.

Un'analisi di un'opera di uno dei più importanti, più discussi e più contraddittori autori del teatro tedesco del dopoguerra, vissuto nella Repubblica Democratica Tedesca. Si tratta di una tragedia moderna in cui la storia in quanto tale sembra non esistere più, raggelata dopo il crollo di tutte le ideologie. Il testo è costituito da una serie di citazioni, autocitazioni fedeli o rimaneggiate non sempre immediatamente individuabili e tali da rendere estremamente complicata l'interpretazione. "Die Hamletmaschine" è la distruzione dell'intellettuale: Amleto è un intellettuale che prova soltanto disgusto e nausea nei confronti di un mondo che non riesce a cambiare. L'originale shakespeariano viene stravolto: Amleto diventa un simbolo della perdita di speranza; secondo l'autore il dramma è al tempo stesso la rappresentazione del fallimento necessario e l'autocritica dell'intellettuale contemporaneo. ; The essay analyses the work of one of the most important, discussed, and contradictory authors of the German theatre of the post-war period, an author who lived in the German Democratic Republic. The study regards the modern tragedy in which the story as such does apparently not exist anymore, since it is 'frozen' after the disruption of all ideologies. The text is composed by a series of quotations, faithful or reworked self-quotations which are not always immediately detectable, thus rendering the interpretation extremely complicated. "The Hamletmachine" is the intellectual's destruction: Hamlet is an intellectual who experiences only nausea and disgust with a world that is unable to change. The original Shakespearian text is turned upside down: Hamlet becomes the symbol of the loss of hope. According to the author, drama is, at the same time, the representation of the necessary collapse and the self-critique of the contemporary intellectual.

This contribution looks at the organizational innovations introduced by digital platforms from a broader reflection, which is positioning them within the historical depth necessary to understand their underlying logic. From this perspective, they emerge not simply as the outcome of the new potentials offered by digital technologies, but as the result of more articulated social dynamics. In tracing the evolutions of the various organizational models that have taken place in the industrial sphere (from Fordism to network capitalism to the rise of digital platforms) what will be highlighted is how these transformations respond to social and political logics having the same goal: the control of labor. Thus, digital platforms appear as the final piece of these transformations, capable of a disruption of space/time coordinates of production that while on one hand allow them to emerge as leader in the global market, on the other provides them increasingly pervasive and effective labor disciplining devices. Despite this, platforms do not appear to be the sole owners of their destiny. The most recent transformations underscore how the mobilization experiences we have seen rising from riders and drivers are succeeding in affecting both the formal dimension of law and the organizational substance of platforms. ; Esta contribución pretende medir las innovaciones organizativas introducidas por las plataformas digitales a partir de una reflexión capaz de situarlas en la profundidad histórica necesaria para comprender sus lógicas subyacentes. Desde esta perspectiva, las plataformas no surgen simplemente como resultado del nuevo potencial organizativo que ofrecen las tecnologías digitales, sino como resultado de una dinámica social más articulada. Al rastrear la evolución de los distintos modelos organizativos que se han sucedido en el ámbito industrial (desde el fordismo hasta el capitalismo de plataforma, pasando por la transición post-fordista), lo que se pondrá de relieve es cómo estas transformaciones responden a lógicas ...

In 1939, Sicily played a main role in the 'assault of the latifundium', a propagandistic and political program sanctioned under the law of the «Colonizzazione del latifondo siciliano». This established measures aimed at the creation of a new agricultural system and founding of small towns and farmhouses annexed to the system for dividing up parcels of farmland. Thus began the profound transformation of the landscape, many until then arid and boundless, into the new Sicilian "landscapes".From the 1920s to the 1950s, about seventy "new towns" (villages and small towns) were designed and partly built throughout the island. Rural small towns, both in the fascist era and in the agrarian reform were adopted as the instrument through which to implement changes favouring the expansion of agriculture, forever changing the morphology of the territory and the structure of Sicilian rural society.Recognition of the historical-architectural value of small towns nearly always corresponds to a state of neglect and degradation, dictated by the repercussions of war, hydrogeological disruptions, new economic models and the gradual migration of the population to the cities. These effects have progressively "transfigured" rural towns (and farmhouses) into a system of ruins, architectures stripped of their function and the symbolism for which they were conceived.The Sicilian landscape has «mutated» (once more), presenting today the characteristics of what we could define as contemporary archaeology. It is landscape that has suffered and perhaps continues to suffer, first the effects of the construction and then abandonment of the utopian project of rural towns Il paesaggio della Sicilia «muta aspetto»: i borghi rurali dal progetto utopico all'abbandono La Sicilia nel 1939 ricopriva il ruolo di protagonista nell'"assalto al latifondo", programma propagandistico e politico sancito con la legge sulla "Colonizzazione del latifondo siciliano" che, stabiliva interventi mirati, contemporaneamente, alla creazione di un nuovo sistema agricolo ...

on 31 January 2020, the Minister for the Interior of the Italian Republic and the Minister for Security and Civil Protection of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire signed a declaration of intent to foster closer cooperation in the field of migration control and return. The text provides, inter alia, for the need to "carry out the relevant procedures for the return of Ivorian nationals in an irregular situation, using the competent services of the Embassy of Côte d'Ivoire in Italy to identify them". 1 the text and spirit of the declaration are in line with a long series of agreements which Italy has concluded with an increasing number of non-European countries, particularly African countries, at intergovernmental but also transgovernmental level (i.e. agreements signed between the ministerial departments or secretariats of the signatory countries). The identification of irregular migrants is a central element upstream of such flexible arrangements, which, by definition, require neither the approval of the parliaments of the signatory countries nor ratification of their implementation. Moreover, given their lack of visibility, their existence and their concrete consequences can easily be contradicted at political level. Finally, given that bilateral cooperation on return involves many unknowns about its practical and regular implementation, the potential (explicit or implicit) disruption of a flexible agreement by a non-European country is less burdensome from a political point of view for a European State. Over the last decades, Italy, like France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany, has signed several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), administrative arrangements. ; Il 31 gennaio 2020, il Ministro dell'interno della Repubblica italiana ed il Ministro della sicurezza e della protezione civile della Repubblica della Costa d'Avorio hanno siglato una dichiarazione di intenti volta a favorire una più stretta collaborazione in materia di controllo dei flussi migratori e di rimpatrio. Il testo prevede, tra l'altro, il ...

Historically, the people of Mozambique have faced oppression and social spatial segregation and responded in a way that has reinforced rather than dismantled their traditional values. Since pre-colonial times, the population's strategy for escaping from environmental and foreign political disruption has been to reinvent tradition, based on the principles of resilience, resistance and self-reliance. The development of decentralised human settlements, involving the appropriation of land for domestic space and the self-organisation of neighbourhoods, were strategies to protect communities from adversity and secure collective self-reliance. Following Mozambique's conversion to globalization, the post-colonial 'cement city' is now the core of neo-liberalism, as a node of the global economy, where foreign donors and international market economy control national political economy, exacerbating the premise of the negation of self-sufficiency that continues to evolve resiliently at its margins. The adoption of a neo-liberal model of development during the 1990s, completely bypasses the realities of Mozambican society. This paper argues that the strategy of self-production of space regarding the household/Outdoor Domestic Space unit, which existed previously as a resistance strategy, first of all against colonialism and secondly, against the statist definition of socialism, thirdly, has become a successful strategy for survival, as the building block of the decentralised Agrocity, in the face of a global economy which totally neglects both the people and the land. Outdoor Domestic Space is a multifaceted space that refers to the external space surrounding the built house and which, in the case of Mozambique, is where daily life takes place, involving strong social, ecological and productive functions. Under successive periods of political economy oppression and environmental adversity, the Outdoor Domestic Space has been adapted and refined to ensure collective self-reliance. Shaping a green and ruralised urbanisation at the margins of the Mozambican post-colonial dualistic city, which I call the Agrocity, the Outdoor Domestic Space is resilient because it is able to adjust domestic space as a strategy to secure livelihoods, provide urban food, commerce and services, maintain vital kinship relationships and produce a comfortable and clean microclimate across the spontaneous neighbourhoods. This spatial resilience is the feature underlying the self-organisation of neighbourhoods with a new way of overcoming alienation from nature, which suggest the continuance of an innate relationship between society, the human habitat and nature. ; Historically, the people of Mozambique have faced oppression and social spatial segregation and responded in a way that has reinforced rather than dismantled their traditional values.
