This thesis aims to demonstrate in a tangible way how mobile phone data, private vehicle tracks, and scanner data are useful for measuring complex systems. The three main areas of application concerned use of Big Data: i) for measuring the presence within a territory through Data Mining techniques, ii) to now-casting socio-economic development of a country, and iii) for measuring the dynamics of cities. First, it has been developed a tool for real-time demography demonstrating how to use mobile phone data over a wide area to achieve a new Official Statistic indicators. The study showed how Big Data, either using mobile phone data or scanner data are useful and effective for carrying out a continuous census of the population. Second, it has been proposed an analytical framework able to evaluate relations between relevant aspects of human behavior and the well-being of a territory. We found out that the diversity of human mobility is a mirror of some aspects of socio-economic development and well-being. Then, we showed how mobility features help to improve the performance of state-of-the-art methodology such as small area estimation methodologies. Finally, it has been analyzed how mobility interacts with the territory due to the movement of people. We proposed to use mobile phone data and GPS tracks for city government measuring the attractiveness of cities. Furthermore, a data analysis approach aimed to identify mobility functional areas in a completely data-driven way has been proposed. The main findings of the thesis concern the statistical and ethical evaluation of results with official sources and showed that methodologies could be applied in other contexts and with different data sources as well. We showed how the geographic information contained in the data sources is incredibly useful to observe our society with a new ``microscope''. Thanks to the opportunity provided by the varied scientific context of SoBigData, the European Research Infrastructure for Big Data and Social Mining. the Ph.D. also contributed to develop and promote responsible data science because the ethical framework is considered as part of the CRISP model, not a problem to treat apart.

The Conference was held at the Department of Political Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II (25-26 March 2021). The conference was the final event of the "ALEAS - Adaptive LEArning in Statistics", an ERASMUS+ project (https://aleas-project.eu) developed in the period 2018-2021 to design and implement an Adaptive LEArning system able to offer personalised learning paths to students, with the purpose to provide them remedial advice to deal with the "statistics anxiety". Stat.Edu'21 aimed at stimulating discussions, solicitations and contributions around the central theme of ALEAS, the development of adaptive learning systems in the field of Higher Education as a complementary tool for traditional courses and promote a community of practice in this field. The volume collects 12 papers reporting reflections and quantitative studies covering mainly three topics: the assessment of the effects of anxiety or more generally of a different attitude in the study of Statistics, tools and methods for the assessment of training paths and technology-based learning experiences.

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) stresses the importance of accurate, reliable, comparable and disaggregated data by conditions and areas of life. There is national and international research, but the UN itself declares them unsatisfactory, denouncing the connection with unequal and ineffective policies on disability. In light of these considerations, this paper intends to present an overview on the nature and criticalities of the statistics on persons with disabilities reviewing the scientific literature. Starting from this framework, the project «More than just numbers» disability data matter, held by the University of Bergamo, will be introduced. It aims at developing a theoretical-methodological model to promote an in-depth, updated knowledge on disability, on the phenomena and the systems related to it, as well as tracing political actions for a truly inclusive society. ; La Convenzione ONU sui diritti delle persone con disabilità (2006) sottolinea l'importanza di dati precisi, affidabili, comparabili e disaggregati per condizioni e aree di vita. Esistono indagini e ricerche, nazionali e internazionali, ma l'ONU stessa le dichiara insoddisfacenti, denunciando la connessione con politiche ineguali e inefficaci sulla disabilità. È alla luce di queste considerazioni che il presente contributo restituisce un quadro conoscitivo della natura e delle criticità delle statistiche sulle persone con disabilità approfondendo la letteratura scientifica. A partire dal quadro costruito verrà intrdotto il progetto "More than just numbers": disability data matter, promosso dall'Università degli Studi di Bergamo, con l'obiettivo di sviluppare un modello teorico-metodologico per promuovere una conoscenza approfondita, aggiornata sulla disabilità, sui fenomeni e sui sistemi ad essa correlati, nonché ingaggiare azioni politiche per una società realmente inclusiva.

This article illustrates the results of a thorough cross-analysis of two particular archive records: those of Italian Masonry and that of the Senate of the Republic. The range of time taken into account is the first three-year period of the Fascist government, namely from the date of the March on Rome and ending on the proclamation of the law against the associa-tions (November 1925). A detailed and for many aspects unexpected account emerges, from which the real ideological components and their fluctuations come into view. Moreover, such exclusive aspect of the relations between Fascism and Masonry, until now scarcely explored, sheds a more definitive light on the actual or supposed affiliation of such political charac-ters, thanks to the "sifting" intervention carried out first and foremost on the sources of the Grand Orient of Italy's Historical Archive, as well as on those of the Grand Lodge of Italy, of the State Central Archive and, obviously, of the Senate of the Republic's Historical Archive.

In a sociological perspective, this article is focus on the analysis of measuring immigrants integration through Italian statistical administrative system. Afterward focusing shortly on methodological and theoretical approach following in the essay (the sociology of public statistic), in the second paragraph it is analyzed the Italian public statistic system, the fundamental frame in order to develop an analytic framework to study the social and institutional process of measuring immigrants integration (the third paragraph). On this basis, the latest paragraphs show the finding of our analysis: after a promising beginning at the end of XX Century by the input of the Law "Turco-Napolitano", the question has been put aside for a long time. Just in recent years, it has caught by European Union inputs. This process is not only a methodological sequence but the finding of a gradual political and national systemic overlook about the importance of integration in Italian Society.

Derivatives have been the most dynamic component of financial globalization in the Nineties, a period characterized by repeated phenomena of financial instability and crises. This paper underlines a largely neglected aspect of those crises: the fact that massive use of derivative instruments re-shuffles market risks in very opaque ways, so that traditional financial statistics may be of little use in diagnosing the "true" causes of a particular financial crisis. As a consequence, policy prescriptions may be quite inadequate. The paper reviews actors and instruments which contributed to innovative financial behaviours, the issues related to measuring leverage in financial transactions and within institutions; the functioning of highly leveraged institutions. These building blocks allow an assessment of the actual information value of balance of payments statistics, and also an assessment of the role of derivative instruments in speculative attacks, with an example about "exotic" derivatives in the 1994 Mexican crisis.

The main task of this research is to investigate the situation of drugs in the city of Bologna. A first discussion pertains the method to adopt studying an ethical question as drug actually is. In fact it is widely known that drugs problem involves many political and religious considerations which are misleading in a scientific point of view. After a methodological chapter supposed to show the purpose of this research, it is discussed a logical definition of drugs. There it is examined an aristotelian definition of drugs with semantic instruments from philosophy of the language to fulfil meaning of terms. The following chapter discusses personal stories of different people involved in drug in the city, who actually represent the main characters of drug subculture. Afterwards the official statistics concerning drug enforcement is discussed and compared with a specific police action which allows to criticize that data, and to make some hypothesis about drug quantities circulating in town. Next step is investigating drugs addicted in town, with a validation technique of data base queries. The result is a statistics of users in which there is evidence of main presence of foreigners and not resident Italians who use to practice drugs in this city. Demographic analysis of identified people shows that drug addiction is widely diffused among all range of age and mainly pertains males, with an increasing trend. Then is examined the geographic distribution of users residence and use places, showing that drugs abuse is spread among all classes of population, while drugs squares are located in some points of town which realise a kind of drug area with a concentration of dealers not organised together. With some detailed queries in police reports statistics is studied some specific subject on nowadays drug abuse, the phenomenon of multi-use, the relation between drug and crime, the relation between drug and mental disease, recording some evidence in such topics. Finally a survey on city media along last two years shows the interest about this topic and gives an idea of public opinion's information about drugs. The study refers to the city of Bologna only, and pertains data recorded along last ten years by the local metropolitan police corp.

At the beginning of the Fifties, Istat started in Italy the first experiments of the Labor Force sampling survey. At the same time Italian Parliament promoted and official enquire about unemployment, with regional studies among which distinguishes that dedicated to Emilia, composed by the Institute of Statistics of the University of Bologna under the direction of Paolo Fortunati. Fortunati criticized harshley the assumption at the basis of the survey sampling, "that each household is would equally possible" with respect to the situation of employment, unemployment and underemployment. In this work we aim to revisit Fortunati's contribution and to interpret at his light the recent evolution of labor market in Italy.

This paper aims at investigating the presence and the main features of business groups in Emilia Romagna. The research is based on a sample comprising about 48 thousand firms and about 540 thousand employees from Emilia Romagna, the latter representing more than 42 per cent of the total regional employment. First, we find that the presence of corporate grouping in Emilia Romagna is comparable to that documented at national level. Moreover, and surprisingly enough, we show that the extension of the group organizational form is significant also in industrial districts, suggesting that ownership linkages among firms do play a role and should not be neglected in the analysis of these production systems. Although the analysis requires some further investigation, these results support the view that also in Emilia-Romagna the actual size of firms is larger and the number of owners is lower than official statistics reveal. This result has important economic policy implications, as the industrial policy of Emilia-Romagna has traditionally been oriented to supporting small and very small firms.

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 bisogno di "realizzare le relative procedure di rimpatrio dei cittadini ivoriani in posizione irregolare, facendo ricorso, per la loro identificazione, ai servizi competenti dell'Ambasciata della Costa d'Avorio in Italia". 1 Il testo e lo spirito della dichiarazione si iscrivono nella scia di una lunga serie di accordi che l'Italia, a livello intergovernativo ma anche transgovernativo (ovverosia con accordi siglati tra i dicasteri o le segreterie ministeriali dei Paesi firmatari), ha concluso con un crescente numero di Paesi non europei, specie africani. L'identificazione dei migranti irregolari costituisce un elemento centrale a monte di tali accordi flessibili, i quali, per definizione, non richiedono né l'approvazione dei parlamenti dei paesi firmatari né una ratifica alla loro attuazione. Inoltre, considerata la poca visibilità che li caratterizza, la loro esistenza e le loro conseguenze concrete possono essere facilmente smentiti a livello politico. Infine, siccome la cooperazione bilaterale in materia di rimpatrio coinvolge molte incognite relativamente alla sua concreta e regolare attuazione, la potenziale defezione (esplicita o implicita) da un accordo flessibile da parte di un Paese non europeo si rivela meno gravosa da un punto di visto politico per uno Stato europeo. Nel corso degli ultimi decenni, l'Italia, alla stregua della Francia, della Spagna, del Regno Unito e della Germania, ha siglato numerosi memorandum d'intesa, intese amministrative
