Starting from a vast set of variables indicating severity phenotype, through the use of both classification and clustering techniques we want to explore the presence of two (TDT vs NTDT) or more clusters, in order to approaching to a new definition for the classification of Beta-Thalassemia in Thalassemia Syndromes (TS).","PeriodicalId":353880,"journal":{"name":"d/SEAS Working Paper Series","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126145358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper moves in particular from the develop-ments of that topic in Italian Ragioneria and in French Comptabilite coming to propose a generalistapproach to the business reporting embracing both kinds of information, financial and not financial.From an historical point of view the theme of social and environmental responsibility has been pro-gressively developed in the twentieth century on Italian and French research getting more and moreimportance. Correspondently the non-financial reporting topic has been increasingly treated from oneside as an evolution or extension while from the other side in opposition to the already consolidatedfinancial reporting. Only a minor attention has been paid to the general concept of reporting. The firstpart of this paper retraces the evolution of social and environmental responsibility and nonfinancialreporting in Ragioneria and in Comptabilite. In the second part of the paper the authors develop thetheoretical foundation for a generalized reporting framework based on the global corporate perfor-mance where converging all the aspects, financial and not-financial, of the company life.","PeriodicalId":353880,"journal":{"name":"d/SEAS Working Paper Series","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133922755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One proposes a fully change of paradigm to fight and to tackle the lacking in security at precariat level with a solution in terms of internalisation of externalities (i.e social costs); - rather then affecting precarious work either enlarging the area of employment contract or proposing an intermediate way of regulations. The paper deems that the to recognise security proceeds through the catch of the value of the work rather then catching the salary. This is possible through a `fake Pigouvian social security non-wage tax' – of which the paper provides some empirical examples – as a legal device to overcome the difficulties associated with the identification of taxable income out of the S.E.R. At this point it will be possible to finance every protection as it likes.","PeriodicalId":353880,"journal":{"name":"d/SEAS Working Paper Series","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129895004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As theorized by Paul Connett, the guru of zero waste strategy, there is no waste until that material still contains a drop of usefulness. The core point of the paper is the implementation of a zero waste strategy in a small municipality in Sicily. By building up a SD model we can figure out how saving process connected to the decrease of amount of waste piled up in the landfoll, has been boosting this virtuous cycle, which is bound to cope with the citizens claims about environmental care and lower tax burden level.","PeriodicalId":353880,"journal":{"name":"d/SEAS Working Paper Series","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132820001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
