Le tecniche di valutazione di sicurezza in ambito portuale: sviluppi e applicazioni

I porti marittimi, nel corso degli ultimi decenni, hanno rafforzato sempre di più il loro ruolo nella catena logistica globale, configurandosi non solo come hub infrastrutturali deputati alle operazioni di imbarco e sbarco delle merci, ma soprattutto come nodi di rilevanza logistica capaci di contribuire alla catena del valore. La complessità delle operazioni tecnico portuali, ivi inclusi i servizi a supporto delle stesse, di natura sia tecnico che amministrativo-fiscale, è cresciuta notevolm...

No Metric Is an Island: How Algorithmic Fairness Interacts with Other AI Properties

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across diverse societal domains has intensified concerns about the trustworthiness of automated systems. Beyond accuracy and efficiency, AI must now also satisfy broader ethical and technical desiderata, such as safety, reliability, equity, or transparency. Yet, these properties are not independent: their intersections often involve trade-offs or interplays that challenge both theoretical analysis and practical deployment. Stemming from...

LOS USOS CONTEMPORÁNEOS DE LA EXPRESIÓN BIENES COMUNES: UN MAPA CRÍTICO DE SUS DEBATES Y PROPUESTAS

This dissertation examines the contemporary uses of the expression Commons, arguing that it constitutes not a univocal legal category but a heterogeneous constellation of theoretical perspectives and practical experiences. Far from being a merely descriptive label, the term reflects an effort to reintroduce humility and interdependence into political and legal thinking—an alternative to the individualistic and proprietarian logic that has shaped modern institutions and contributed to environm...

Mechanics-Based Probabilistic Modeling of Crack-Induced Failures in Glass and Corroded Cables

Deep Learning for RNA–RNA Interaction Prediction

RNA–RNA interactions (RRIs) play a central role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, influencing processes such as translation, splicing, RNA stability, and ribonucleoprotein complex assembly. While accurate computational prediction of RRIs could pave the way for RNA-targeted therapies, it remains a major challenge due to the intricate and dynamic behavior of long RNA molecules in vivo. To address these challenges, we introduce RIME, a deep learning framework that predicts RRIs using onl...

Advanced garment modeling for object-centric assistive dressing policies

Despite the growing demand for intelligent robotic systems and the substantial progress achieved in related domains such as rigid object manipulation, the field of garment manipula- tion continues to face considerable challenges and remains comparatively underdeveloped. This lag is primarily due to the intrinsic complexity of garments as manipulation targets. Unlike rigid objects, garments are characterised by extreme thinness, a high-dimensional configuration space, frequent self-occlus...

Indicatori di attività insediativa ed estrattiva nella Liguria orientale attraverso analisi territoriale LiDAR-drone e indagini archeologiche di superficie. Studio dell’impatto delle trasformazioni permanenti ed elaborazione di un modello predittivo.

This research investigates the long-term transformations produced by settlement and extractive activities in the eastern Ligurian landscape (NW Italy), which remain morphologically detectable even after their abandonment. The study employs innovative tools for spatial and morphological analysis, notably UAV-mounted LiDAR sensors (UAV-LiDAR), to examine how human interventions have reshaped and structured the environment. Through digital modelling and spatial analysis, the project aims to iden...

Developing Physical Human–Robot Collaboration: Visuospatial Attention, Adaptation, and Interpersonal Synchronization

Regulating dark patterns in the EU: did Europe shed light on dark patterns? Conceptual foundations, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, the Digital Services Act, and their (obscure) interplay

This dissertation investigates the European Union’s regulatory approach to the phenomenon of the so-called 'dark patterns', namely, digital design techniques that steer, deceive, or coerce users into making choices they might not otherwise make. The expression has rapidly become a policy buzzword, but its conceptual boundaries and legal implications remain uncertain. The research seeks to clarify what dark patterns are, how they can be situated within existing EU law, with particular focus on...
