Organic solar cells and printed supercapacitors: realization , characterization and applications

This thesis investigates the development of materials and architectures for organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices and their integration with energy storage systems on flexible substrates, aimed at enhancing energy harvesting and storage capabilities in both indoor and outdoor environments. By addressing the challenges related to non-conventional substrates, the research explores the realization of OPV on paper as energy harvesting device and demonstrates significant advancements in fabrication ...

Essays on health economics, health management, and public health: from theory to pratice

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, health economics, and public health, the pursuit of knowledge often transcends the confines of academia, drawing momentum from real-world challenges faced by industry and research institutions. My journey through the complex intersection of these domains has been significantly shaped by a pivotal experience: my tenure at DiaSorin S.p.A., a global leader in laboratory diagnostics, particularly in the immunodiagnostics and molecular segments. During this ...

Behavioral inattention computation

The most abstract process is to empirically validate inattention theory. Our study focuses on developing and evaluating a behavioral New Keynesian model tailored to the Gambian economy, our inspiration was derived from Gabaix (2014). We investigate the interactions between monetary and fiscal policies, estimating inattention parameters for consumers and firms through Bayesian methods. Our findings indicate that the parameters 𝑀 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑀𝑓 , which were originally introduced by Gabaix (2020)...

The emerging role of follicular CD4 T cells in the immune system: a comprehensive analysis in different diseases and anatomic compartment in the era of Covid19

T follicular helper cells (TFH) are specialized subset of CD4 + T cells essential for the proper generation of germinal center (GC) reaction which eventually lead to the development of antigen specific memory B cell upon antigen stimulation. The present dissertation will perform a comprehensive analysis of the emerging role of TFH in the immune system analyzing their role in different diseases and anatomic compartment with a focus on SARS-CoV2. Only few studies in humans were able to provide ...

Force run a new technology for the biomechanics assesement of running and gait: using cell force technology

Alle origini della territorialità moderna: il Mediterraneo, l’Oriente, l’Occidente

Negli studi geografici contemporanei, la ricostruzione della nascita e dell’evoluzione della Modernità è sovente ricondotta alle vicende di un paradigma esclusivamente occidentale, prodotto delle attività delle corti rinascimentali europee. L’interpretazione di questo fondamentale mutamento nel pensiero del mondo manifesta la necessità di contestualizzare gli avvenimenti nel più ampio ambito mediterraneo: nella descrizione della ricezione della Geographia di Tolomeo in Europa ma anche nel Vic...

Analisi di due linee evolutive del cromosoma Y in Eurasia occidentale

La distribuzione geografica della diversità del cromosoma Y sta diventando uno strumento essenziale per la ricostruzione del popolamento dei vari continenti da parte dell’uomo anatomicamente moderno. Infatti la porzione non ricombinante del cromosoma Y (NRY) è comunemente utilizzata come marcatore della divergenza interpopolazionistica. Poiché la NRY non subisce ricombinazione, questa porzione si comporta come un singolo locus genetico con molti alleli. Questi sono chiamati aplotipi o aplogr...

Synthesis and applications of carbon allotropes in heterogeneous catalysis and in optical sensors for the detection of heavy-metals in water

In addition to the macroscopic forms generally known, such as graphite or diamond, carbon is also capable of forming very different nanostructures which have undergone enormous development in many technological applications, over the last ten years The resulting structural diversity of molecules and organic compounds is accompanied by a broad variety of chemical and physical properties that can be also modulated and tailor designed by the tools of modern synthetic chemistry with the purpose o...
