Vertical temperature profiles were collected from January 1st 2005 to January 6th 2005 from the research vessel Italica during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Climatic Long Term Interaction for the Mass-balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA). Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) probes with a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m were used. XBT launches might have been interrupted in case of severe sea and weather conditions. This implies the possible presence of gaps in the sampling. The mean spatial resolutions of the casts is 15 nm. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are provided in TXT format.

Il volume raccoglie una serie di saggi nei campi della terminologia marittima e della letteratura del mare in inglese e francese, che indicano nuove linee di ricerca nel vasto dominio della "talassologia". Strutturata in due sezioni, che riflettono le due principali aree di indagine (terminologica e letteraria) e le due prospettive culturali (anglofona e francofona) della ricerca, la raccolta intende offrire un contributo ampio e innovativo agli studi di lessicografia e lessicologia, mediante una serie di indagini che – nella diversità delle lingue coinvolte, nella varietà dei documenti linguistici esaminati e delle prospettive di analisi privilegiate – nel loro insieme mirano a costituire un quadro coerente e aggiornato della terminologia marittima e della rappresentazione simbolica dell’universo marino nelle culture anglofone e francofone. Punto di forza e di originalità dell’approccio adottato, pur nella varietà delle prospettive, è l’applicazione degli strumenti e delle tecniche della linguistica dei corpora (corpus linguistics) al campo di indagine della terminologia marittima e della critica artistico-letteraria (corpus stylistics), combinando analisi quantitativa e qualitativa, Interdisciplinarità e dialogismo informano il volume, che invita il lettore a eplorare la natura proteiforme della terminologia e dell'immaginario marittimo. The book collects scholarly essays in the fields of English and French maritime terminology and sea literature. It focuses on the linguistic, literary and cultural exploration of the sea, considering new directions for research in the vast domain of «thalassology». Structured into two sections, which reflect its two main areas of enquiry (terminological and literary) and cultural standpoints (Anglophone and Francophone), the collection breaks new ground in approaching the study of the sea from different perspectives and through the use of novel methodological tools. In particular, the theoretical framework and working instruments of corpus linguistics are recurrently applied, not only to the investigation of contemporary maritime terminology but also to the interpretation of literary and musical texts, thus combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Indeed, interdisciplinarity and dialogism inform the volume, which invites its readers to set sail on a journey across different disciplinary and linguistic seas, and to explore the protean nature of maritime terminology and imagery.

Vertical temperature profiles were taken from January 7th 1996 to February 18th 1996 from the research vessel Italica during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Climatic Long Term Interaction for the Mass-balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA) using Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT). Used probes have a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m. The transects were completed in about 6 days to provide a synoptic picture of the thermal structure of the upper Southern Ocean. A regular 20 nm spatial sampling rate was adopted across the frontal regions of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are in TXT format.

This book presents a collection of original research papers addressing the relationship between information systems (IS) and innovation. “Open”, “Smart” and “Network” are three keywords that are currently guiding information systems (IS) innovation, enhancing IS potentialities and their ability to support decision-making processes. The book discusses the relevance of these three new concepts in connection with technological and organizational innovations (i.e. cloud, smart technologies and networking), and the role they play in the development of accounting and management information systems. The book’s primary aim is to investigate how these innovations could influence information systems (with a particular focus on accounting and management information systems) by enhancing their information potentialities and improving accounting methodologies, performance measurement systems, data management, information systems architectures, and external and internal reporting. The book is based on a selection of the best papers—original double-blind reviewed contributions—presented at the 2016 Annual Conference of the Italian Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS).

Negli ultimi decenni la disciplina della trasparenza è stata profondamente influenzata dall’impatto della digitalizzazione sull’azione dei governi. Le innovazioni tecnologiche hanno portato la trasparenza a non essere più riferita solo al diritto dei cittadini di accedere ai documenti ma anche alla pubblicazione di informazioni sui siti istituzionali pubblici e al lancio dell’open data. La trasparenza modifica i suoi fini: si pluralizza, sicché è più corretto parlare al plurale di discipline delle trasparenze. Il volume evidenzia le tante articolazioni del tema della trasparenza proponendo un confronto tra esse: la trasparenza delle amministrazioni pubbliche con quella degli organi costituzionali; quella degli uffici amministrativi con quella degli uffici politici; quella dei diversi livelli di governo dell’ordinamento nazionale; quella delle amministrazioni pubbliche tradizionali, da un lato, con quella delle autorità indipendenti e delle società a partecipazione pubblica, dall’altro lato; quella dei poteri pubblici italiani con quella dei poteri pubblici europei e globali; quella disposta per tutte le amministrazioni pubbliche e i procedimenti da esse gestiti con quella prevista per settori particolari. Le domande principali a cui il libro cerca di rispondere sono le seguenti. Quali sono le linee di fondo dello sviluppo del sistema della trasparenza e quali tensioni si generano al suo interno? Quali sono i fini che esso persegue, i rapporti tra loro intercorrenti e, in particolare, come mutano, nel corso del tempo, le regole sulla composizione tra l’interesse alla trasparenza e quello alla riservatezza? Quali sono le conseguenze e i problemi derivanti dalla espansione degli obblighi di trasparenza e dalla modifica delle modalità previste per la pubblicazione delle informazioni?

We propose a joint dating of the Italian business and credit cycle on a historical horizon, by applying a local turning-point dating algorithm to the level of the variables. Along with short cycles, corresponding to traditional business cycle fluctuations, we also investigate medium cycles, because there is evidence that financial booms and busts are longer and persistent than the business cycle. After comparing our cycles with the prominent qualitative features of the Italian economy, we carry out some statistical tests for comovement between credit and business cycle and we propose a measure of asymmetry of this comovement, which proves to be weaker in recessions. We find evidence that credit and business cycle are poorly synchronized especially in the medium term, although, when credit and real contractions overlap, recessions are definitely more severe. We do not find evidence that credit leads the business cycle, both in the medium or in the short fluctuations. On the contrary, in the short cycle, we find some evidence that business cycle leads the credit one. Finally, credit and business cycle comovement increases when credit embodies public bonds held by banks, a bank financing to the public sector. However, in the post]WWII era, this financial backup to the public side of the economy has occurred at the expense of bank lending.

Vertical temperature profiles were collected from December 24th 2001 to December 31st 2001 from the research vessel Italica during an oceanographic cruise between New Zealand and the Ross Sea in the framework of the Climatic Long Term Interaction for the Mass-balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) project of the Italian National Antarctic Research Programme (PNRA) using Sippican T7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT). Used probes have a vertical resolution of 65 cm and a maximum nominal depth of 760 m. XBT launches have been interrupted in case of severe sea and weather conditions. This implies the presence of gaps in the sampling. The spatial resolution of the sampling ranges between 15 nm and 20 nm. All temperature profiles are quality controlled for consistency between adjacent profiles and through spike editing. Data are provided in TXT format.
