This thesis examines grassroots solidarity practices along the Balkan migration routes in the context of increasingly restrictive European border regimes. Focusing on Greece, Bulgaria, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the study investigates how bordering processes shape migrants’ trajectories and lived experiences, and how diverse forms of solidarity emerge in response to border violence, institutional abandonment, and everyday precarity. Since the so-called “long summer of migration” of 2015, the...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major One Health threat affecting humans, animals, and the environment. Among the most resistant bacteria of concern, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are particularly relevant because they limit the efficacy of critically important β-lactam antimicrobials and can disseminate across the animal–human–environment interface. In dairy production systems, pre-weaned calves are considered important reservoirs of ESBL-producing Enter...
Safe physical interaction remains one of the key barriers to deploying robots in unstructured
real-world environments. Contact-rich tasks such as insertion, assembly, tool use, and fine
manipulation require robots not only to complete a task, but to do so while regulating force,
adapting to uncertainty, and avoiding damage to themselves, their surroundings, and the
objects they handle. This PhD thesis addresses that challenge by developing approaches
for safe learning in contact-rich rob...
La ricerca nonché l’elaborato si concentrano sull’impatto che i progressi scientifici e tecnologici— in particolare della robotica e dell’intelligenza artificiale — hanno avuto e continuano ad avere nei rapporti contrattuali e nel sistema della responsabilità civile a livello europeo, con specifico riguardo al settore sanitario. La potenza di calcolo odierna, alla luce della capacità di processare volumi massivi di dati, consente l’analisi dei dati clinici contemporanei, superando e ampliando...
La tesi analizza la trasformazione del ruolo del governo pubblico nel modello di sviluppo urbano di Bologna, dalla ricostruzione postbellica ai giorni nostri, assumendo il caso bolognese come lente privilegiata per leggere dinamiche che attraversano molte città italiane.
La domanda di ricerca verte sulla effettiva capacità delle istituzioni democraticamente elette di orientare le trasformazioni urbane in un contesto segnato dalla crescente influenza di attori economici globalizzati, e sulle ...
La sindrome genito-urinaria della menopausa (GSM) è una condizione cronica e progressiva, particolarmente severa nelle pazienti con carcinoma mammario in menopausa iatrogena da terapia endocrina adiuvante, nelle quali l'uso di estrogeni locali è spesso limitato per timori di sicurezza oncologica. Il laser vaginale non ablativo rappresenta un'opzione terapeutica rigenerativa non ormonale, ma i meccanismi molecolari sottostanti non sono ancora completamente caratterizzati.
Sono state arruolate...
Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal, evidence-based perioperative pathways designed to reduce surgical stress and accelerate functional recovery. In thoracic surgery, ERAS has been associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, most available evidence derives from high-volume tertiary centres, with limited comparative data on feasibility and effectiveness across institutions with varying levels of maturity and resources. Objective: This thesis aim...
“Artificial Intelligence is developing fast” and is central to legal, social, and ethical discourse for its potential to reshape modern living. Among the evolving applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this thesis focuses on autonomous vehicles and their critical impact over mobility paradigms in the European Union. Self-driving models are widely considered to be groundbreaking technology that is beneficial as much as it is disruptive. They are set to reshape mobility by, among other b...
In recent years, the development and clinical implementation of targeted therapies and immunotherapies have significantly changed the therapeutic approach to metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC), leading to substantial improvements in patient outcomes. In this context, molecular characterization plays a central role in guiding treatment decisions and enabling a precision medicine approach. Currently, the main predictive biomarkers used in clinical practice include activating mutations in th...
