A new faculty Established Physical Education – The City of Salerno

tender formative 2.0, with changes of no small importance in the four departments of the University, including courses that debuted and changing content.

A preview of these changes already had been there. “By September, we plan to add the option of Sport Sciences, much in demand by new freshmen. We believe that this addition will further enrich the knowledge of the campus, “he announced in March the Rector Aurelio Tommasetti . Said and done: the Manifesto of the studies published 2014-2015 was easy to find the expected training. To be precise, the course will be called “sciences of physical activities, sports and education psychomotor” and will be part of Department of Human Sciences, Philosophy and Education, in its place will be disabled in the course of study “Educator of Game Room, partner laboratories and educational and recreational services for children. ” The degree will provide a test of the local access number programmed. There are various disciplines that make up the three-year: the methods of motor activity in the study of general psychology and pedagogy, through endocrinology, biochemistry and neurology.

But this is not the only change that awaits the freshmen class 2014-2015: change his attitude even the Department of Business Studies and Research that will provide its students with a single degree in “Economics and Management “, until the previous year were planned study courses in” Economics and Management of public enterprises and social “and” Economics and Management “.

increased, however, the specializations (in 2013 it was active only “Consulting and Management Company”), the next year he adds, “Information Technology and Management” (presentation today at 9:30 am, classroom F / 8 .)

A course that bodes well, by setting itself the goal of creating a professional to serve as a “hinge” between the world of technological innovation and the management. The class of degree program, to date, is only active at the university of Pisa. Another important enrichment of the educational offer, however, concerns what is its constitution the spearhead of the University of Salerno: Department of Medicine and Surgery, from next September, will add to the list of addresses covered in the course in the Health Professions “Techniques in Radiology Imaging and Radiotherapy.” Graduates in this discipline is authorized to carry out, on prescription, all operations that require the use of ionizing radiation sources, both artificial and natural, of thermal, ultrasonic, nuclear magnetic resonance and interventions for physical protectionist or dosimetry.

The test number programmed national, will be held on September 3rd in all of Italy. Closes the list of changes for the next academic year the Department of Cultural Heritage that merges the “knowledge” joining the course “Cultural Heritage” that in “disciplines of the arts and entertainment industry.”

The National Italian launches the “passport technology” for the players – CalcioWeb

Francis Gregorace

->

 buffon A passport technology, with all data regarding each player is one of the big news about the blues about to fly to Brazil for the World Cup. Was announced by the Head of Delegation of Italy, Demetrio Albertini, today in Coverciano. “Everything comes from an app that will serve technicians to study and prepare for the games and allow the coach and players to” share “data plans, workouts, and so on.” “It is a project launched by the Federation and the Italian Club, innovative. Also – continued Albertini – this app will collect in a database on each player on the World Cup and will enter this data into a sort of passport technology, a card with chip for each blue. “

From the app to sensors, a national technology in Brazil – The Republic

FLORENCE – The Adventure of the Brazilian National at the World Cup is about to begin. Thursday, June 5th at 23.30 23 blue, chosen after Saturday’s friendly with Ireland in London, will take off charter from Fiumicino to Rio de Janeiro. From here you reach the now-famous Portobello Resort & Safari Mangaratiba, which will be their home during the retreat, opened for the first time with a group of 40 families and guests of the sponsor Puma. Prandelli has set standards of behavior for all: the code of ethics of the team is also extended to family and guests, with a ban on photos in your space and adjoining spread on social networks. The restaurants will be separated and the players will spend large part of their day on the field of Portobello, just redone by the FIGC on indications of an agronomist left Italy, according to the standards of FIFA (6 cm) and with the same seed lawns of the World .

But the withdrawal of Mangaratiba will have one twin, that the Blues will use four days after the second game of Recife with Costa Rica. From June 21 to 24, when they face Uruguay in Natal in the last duel of the group stage, the team will in fact just another facility in the Northeast by the sea, very similar to Portobello: Pestana Natal Beach Resort. The major difference is that it will work out in the resort, but will have to move a few miles Estadio Maria Lamas Farache, said Frasqueirao, the suitcase, known for the warm cheer of supporters of ABC Natal.

In Brazil, the national team will go all the new technological equipment. The Italian Club app created by Albertini and made for the FIGC by engineer Corrado Maria Carmela allows players to receive instructions on the tablet for the day, with passwords and proof system of espionage, after the World Cup will become the digital passport Club of Italy (a card-file for each custom blue). At the World Cup the new app will be the daily manual of the player, which you can read everything: deliveries tactics Cesare Prandelli, the video analysis of Pin and Viscidi developed by Gagliardi along with the study of the opponents, the diet of the nutritionist with the Bears novelty of tropical fruits (acai, papaya, mango and pineapple), the results of fitness testing of preparers Venturati, Casellato Prandelli and Niccolò, monitoring of the physical condition by Professor Castellacci and his deputy Gatteschi. The other innovation is the Cryosaunas, the tube temperature of -180 degrees, where players will come after games and workouts to absorb microtrauma.
There is a patented invention, the startup of three young aerospace engineers Politecnico di Milano, Thomas Finadri, Ernst Victor Haendler and Lucio Pinzoni, all three of Desenzano del Garda: the Beast Sensor, a sensor borrowed from the pointing device of the missile (see www.thisisbeast.com and www.igg.me/ at / beastsensor). The Azzurri will be wearing one each, numbered from 1 to 23, on a special corsage to instantly measure their degree of strength.

The many, these strangers – Reuters

It is titled “Quantum 2014″, and is an international conference that takes place these days in Turin (until May 30). Why “Quantum”? It is the Latin term for “How,” a term very common in physics to indicate a discrete amount of a certain size and indivisible. The term is sometimes used as a synonym for “particle”.

At the quantum mechanics and its many applications, often from the basic research, it was then dedicated the biennial conference in Turin, considered among the greatest in Europe, organized by INRIM (National Institute of Metrology) , in collaboration with the University of Bari Five days of in-depth on a subject little known to the general public, but a fundamental part of basic research and applied research. Let’s see why.

How important are the many …

Quantum mechanics is a physical theory that describes the behavior of the radiation, matter, and their interactions, particularly with regard to the phenomena typical of the scales of length or energy atomic and subatomic particles: “The failure of classical mechanics and electromagnetism to explain phenomena related to light and its interaction with matter, were the main reasons that led to the development of quantum mechanics in the first half of ’900 ‘- explains Professor Augusto Garuccio, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bari, at the workshop of Turin – “and the name” quantum mechanics “, given to the theory, stems from the discovery that some physical quantities, such as energy or angular momentum, can vary only in discrete amounts, called precisely “how many.”

A key feature of quantum mechanics is the so-called wave-particle duality: in contrast to the classical mechanics, which describes the electromagnetic radiation (eg light) as a wave and massive objects (eg ‘electron) as a particle in quantum mechanics radiation and matter can be described both as particles and as waves.

“Theory and practice go hand in hand and we avoid scientists to separate these two aspects” – adds Garuccio – “as a fundamental aspect of research in this field is the close link between studies of fundamental physics and emerging technologies that directly derived from it. Few people know that thanks to quantum physics was able to carry tools such as lasers and MRIs, to develop the technology behind electronic equipment, telecommunications and computer networks. Even the copier is based on a purely quantum phenomenon: the photoelectric effect. Much of the technology that we use every day is the result of this theory. ”

A verification of the ‘”ultimate dream of Einstein” with the quantum correlations

The five days of the workshop in Turin (dedicated memory to physical Carlo Novero) are explaining the recent developments in the emerging field of quantum technologies; futuristic applications and fundamental studies concerning the properties of the particular light quantum systems open up new perspectives in various fields. Quantum states of light can be exploited to implement more secure or encrypted communications for studying biological samples with more accuracy; photonic circuits with computing power infinitely superior to those of current computers begin to become reality: “The computer made so far” – says Garuccio – “have not yet fully exploited the opportunities offered by the physics of many. In the future, thanks to these experiments, you will realize computers with computational power unimaginable based on current technology. ”

A “Quantum 2014″ were also presented some new features. Among these, the theories related to the dream of building a theory that unifies all the known forces, including gravity; a key element of theoretical physics over the past 60 years, which has led to several proposals for quantization of gravity, but so far have not had any significant experimental verification.

In particular, the recent work of Einstein were directed, on the one hand, and for this purpose, on the other hand, the study of specific correlations between quantum systems that, in his view, were an indication of ‘ incompleteness of quantum mechanics.

In a study carried out by researchers INRIM (Ivano Ruo Berchera, Ivo Degiovanni, Marco Genovese) and the University of Milan (Stefano Olivares) has now shown that these peculiar correlations of quantum mechanics can lead to a feasible experiment on a simple optical table, which aims to give an answer to the last “Einstein’s dream.”

“This is possible thanks to the light” quantum “” – explains Marco Genovese – “that guarantees a better sensitivity in particular interferometer systems. The ability to operate such systems with these technologies opens the door to a rapid achievement of this outcome. Moreover, this result promotes the study of ultra-sensitive interferometers based on quantum light whose applications to measures of ultra precision are still only vaguely conceivable, but that could be a real revolution in the field. ”

Locate an otherwise invisible object, overcoming the limitations of traditional measurement

And ‘the purpose of the experiment carried out in the laboratories of the INRIM group led by Mark Genovese in collaboration with the University of Milan published in Physical Review Letters.

“Imagine to be able to have an object in a room lit” – said Mark Genovese – “and having to discover its presence through a hole by sending a pulse of light and observing the returning light. If the light in the room is too intense the small amount of light reflected from the object may not be sufficient to identify it. However if we exploit the properties of quantum correlation between two beams of light, one sent to object the other kept as a reference, then it will be possible to identify conditions in otherwise prohibitive. ”

“This is the result obtained in INRIM” – he adds – “based on the generation of twin beams of light, in which the number of photons of each beam fluctuates randomly, but when the number of photons in the two beams fluctuates in unison. ”

Possible applications of the scheme are currently still hypothetical, but ranging from the identification of a poorly reflective object flying in the daytime sky. In addition, this experiment represents one of the first examples of how quantum systems can overcome the limitations of traditional measurement, starting a “quantum metrology.”

A workshop in collaboration between Turin and Bari

The conference in Turin was created in collaboration between INRIM and University of Bari “Aldo Moro”. The University of Bari is in fact among those most involved at the international level in the field of quantum physics, and also has modern laboratories Mechatronics (where mechanics and electronics come together for the development of innovative technologies). “Our group of quantum physics” – says the Vice-Chancellor Augustus Garuccio – “was founded in the seventies by Professor Franco Selleri. From Bari are then initiated studies and national and international collaborations, from Paris to Portugal, to Russia, Japan, in Baltimore, in the United States and Korea. ”

INRIM (National Institute of Metrological Research) is the national center of excellence for the study of metrology, which is the science of measurement. He was born a few years ago by the fusion of powers between the National Institute “Galileo Ferraris” (famous for the equally famous clock signal RAI), and the Institute Colonnetti, both based in Turin. It is a public research body, belonging to the Ministry of Education, and is involved in measurement science and materials, and develops technologies and innovative devices. Many sectors in which it operates: it realizes the primary standards of fundamental and derived units of the International System Unit of measure, and ensures its maintenance; participates in international comparisons, in Italy allows traceability of each measure to the International System of Measurement and represents Italy in international metrological organizations.

Just generational clashes, 10 from breaking down stereotypes for … – The Republic

 Just generational clashes, 10 from breaking down stereotypes to understand the 25/30enni

Once upon a time the Generation X, born between the sixties and eighties, baby boomers and pop culture, wedged between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the explosion of hedonistic consumerism nineties. Then the kids are grown, and it was the turn of the Net Generation, the first consisting of people – born between 1977 and 1997 – grew up in a digitally connected world, surrounded by video games and pc and held together by the large network of Internet .
The idea of ​​ Federico Capeci, general manager of Duepuntozero Research Group DOXA , is that this generation of “connected” can and should be further divided between web 1.0 and web 2.0 generation, for better analyze the band of boys who have not experienced the transition from an internet information to an internet participatory, born and raised when the change had already happened: “8 million children who have lived their adolescence in a precise moment in technological history, as blogs, forums, social networks, wikis and video sharing websites or photos began their unstoppable growth. ” Under analysis, then, there are those born between 1984 and 1996, the 18-30′s today. Who are they, really? Aliens, for their parents, but from time immemorial have never understood the old youth, it works well. The fact is, however, deeply these guys are considered “different” by people who have only a handful of years older, 35/40enni from those who have experienced the birth of the web and its social explosion , its transformation into a global network in which each content owned and bounces and is fed by the contents of other users with a like, a post, a share. Those who have seen it all, and how they chose to join the game in progress. Young people look to their younger brothers with suspicion because, although born at a distance of only 5/8 years from us, they are so different? Stay connected, too prone to judge an experience with the filter of an opinion of others, impatient with rules and unable to believe in an ideal, fickle in their choices, unfaithful to brands and values, incapable of giving value to material things?

Who writes this generational change he experienced on their own, and the so-called 2.0 generation has kept an eye out for years by a sister recorded to the registry in August 1986. Well, Capeci book arrives to give answers to questions we posed long . Above all, it offers a well-deserved rehabilitation to these children and their parents, teachers, employers and older brothers the tools to really understand them, without prejudice, simply speaking the same language. Relying on an enormous wealth of information – more than 15 thousand interviews conducted by Duepuntozero Doxa on 18/30enni Italian – in fact, the author has tried to understand how being born and raised in a social event so special, the essence of which is participation in the and sharing of experiences, not influenced their habits, but their mindset, their language, their values ​​and behaviors in real life. An attempt – successful, in our opinion – to define STYLE, understood as an acronym of the words Sociability, Transparency, Immediacy, Freedom, Experience . # 2.0 Generation (published by Franco Angeli, € 21) is a volume that has the potential to be able to put flowers in their guns in the harsh clash of generations in progress.

INTERVIEW
Capeci: This book is for his children? “I have two sons, but they belong to the next generation. Ludovico Alice is 6 years old and 11 months. I think I have to front of a great treasure that I am called to respect, protect and enhance. did not have to fall into the trap of suggesting things because they respect the right to a world that will never be the same.’ll try to understand why and how their behaviors, fears, will first give an opinion or a suggestion. “

With the same wisdom we ask you now to break down, one by one, the prejudices held against 25/30enni today:

1) They’re on Facebook too, prefer virtual relationships to real ones : “True, we often use phrases like ‘go to get a ride with friends, instead of watch Fb ‘. Too bad that young enough to have a cell phone to be in touch, talk, exchange ideas and projects with hundreds of friends, more or less known in the so-called real life. Many of the negative connotations that surround the young, especially when analyzed with respect to their relationship with the web, they are false: browse the Istat data available online and you will find that the time spent out of the house these guys for recreation, leisure, sport or culture has not diminished over time. So: just say that the use of the Internet forces them at home. What, in effect, less than the previous generation is to watch TV, listen to the radio, read newspapers. It is a bad thing? I do not think, because if they find entertainment, information, entertainment, culture on a PC, fruendone also actively interacting with the content, they will have a better chance of getting their own opinion. ”

2) They have no ideals or values: “Partially true. The web, which is the context in which their identity is formed, shaped them here and now. They do not look too far, perhaps because it does not even exist. Think about the here and now oriented projects, solidarity or not, but as long as practical and feasible. The ideal, for them, is an idea to implement and achieve, often together. Compared to values: the biggest change that requires us this generation is to consider the values, not as a point for which to strive, but as a fact from which to start. Freedom, for which previous generations have fought, for example, is for them a basic condition for their every action. The web is free by nature and when a site or suggest any (commercial or not) has unrestricted access and does not allow free diffusion, is out of the loop. Do not care, is far away. “

3) They have no respect for the ‘things’ or clear the value of money: ” I grew up abandoning the materiality of things. Every act of consumption lives for the story that is made before, during and after, not so much in the act of use in the strict sense. Also, they have abandoned the concept of a status symbol if they buy something they do it for the experience that allows the story on forums and social networks; not to flaunt a difference, but to create sharing. ”

4) Do not become attached to brands, and do not understand the value of an object that remains: “For them, the marks are not something aspirational, do not see them as stamps to say something about themselves, as was the case for the last few generations. They just tell in social networks, thoughts, photos, videos. And then there’s the sharing economy, that this generation is pursuing: the property is characterized by the use of things and items purchased are suitable, we rent, are used in the community: the property does not count, use count ” .

5) You get tired quickly of any changes: “It is not true that you get tired, because I do not have time. I’m looking for something new because the world in which they grew up is a world that flows, goes fast, replaces things so fast. But instead of thinking about kids who throw the phone again and stamp their feet to get a new one, why did not we think of Wikipedia: the notion of such a thing changes a thousand times, because the collective reasoning implements, improves, things change very quickly “.

6) I’m impatient and insatiable:
” go back to the time when their neuronal density was formed: the web, all things must be grasped quickly, since a promotion you appear for a given combination of actions and then vanishes, because Google results change from one moment to the next, because if you wait, and you are not diving into this flow, not surf. So what is the reason of patience, of waiting? Instead of saying ‘think before you speak’, we should say to them, ‘Go on google before you post something.’

7) Not healthy living experiences in the first person without sharing them through social : “It is obvious that the experiences you live in first person, the nice thing about these guys is great and instead share their own, make everyone participate, be open and let that experience is the starting point for a ‘ experience of others, as well as the opposition and criticism. “

8) Do not they have other yardsticks and if you do not like the online comments: ” We should stop opposing the two worlds online and offline. For us they are different worlds to which we ask ourselves ‘in the middle’, mode choice. They are one and the other. Damage to voice opinions and the like. Indeed, the fact that they had the freedom to do so in the web, increases their ability to express their views on all the fields, on and offline. “

9) I’m narcissistic and oblivious of the dangers of posting pictures of themselves on the net (see selfie): “The issue of privacy is delicate. But just call them narcissistic and self-centered because they speak for themselves and photographing: pensiamoli as acts of communication, highlighting the experience they are having. If they are on vacation and taking pictures in front of a monument, do not do to say “I was here”, would be enough to localize with Foursquare or Facebook. They do it to describe their feelings at that moment. Never before has a generation of young people has long communicated with their peers and with the world, enabling us to understand the way down. “

10) One thing I would like to say to them, after they have ‘ analyzed ‘in a book: “Awareness! Often you force yourself not to get out of your way of being and the universal values ​​that are carrying out. I do not know if we adults emerge and we will help you if we have the courage to trust, but if it were not so, I ask you to find the courage to come out and start a confrontation immediately. As you are already in forums, blogs, social networking sites. “

Watch Dogs, proof: revolution postponed – Wired.it

Nice is nice, but is not that the point of reference for the video game industry that we looked forward

price : 69,99 € | Rating: 8
More information: Watch Dogs

Call fanfare: the party is postponed. He had to usher in a new era of video games and set the standards of the future, and instead Watch Dogs , the most anticipated title of the year (at least by us) is ‘only’ a good game. That is no small thing, indeed, but the huge expectations that were mounted around remain partially unfulfilled.

Set in a fully connected Chicago and controlled by a central computer system, it is an action-open world in which he moves Aiden Pearce, hackers, just vigilant against all. In addition to a decent arsenal of weapons and grenades do-it-yourself, is equipped with a smartphone magic capable of handling virtually any device connected to the urban network.

In a click does the profile of passers-by (hackerandolo when there are interesting things like money and codes to steal), or raise and lower the bollards or bridges in the city to eliminate the police car chase, or even ‘enter’ in cameras Monitoring scattered everywhere. The city is transformed into a playground just a tap away.

Even infiltration and approaches to the shootings take a good strategic depth: for example, you can spy on the inside of a base enemy through the cameras and fix the henchmen by exploding nearby electrical groups, or scaricandogli head in a container. Although the available solutions are limited, the freedom to approach gains.

The dynamics of hacking are the real pluses of Watch Dogs, the new element that differentiates it from colleagues in general. In the end, however, are not much more than simple special effects in his DNA WD is a conservative game . It’s all very well, but prefers batch rather than deepen or experiment with new substance, it is in this aspect that others perhaps even more important, because they determine the identity of a game, that special something that can make it memorable.

The context of technological paranoia, oppressive nightmare of Big Brother, is treated so watered down, rather than focusing on a trivial criminal plot seasoned tricks hi- tech and written so bland. The protagonist himself is an action hero standards both in character and in appearance (like Commander Shepard / Matthew Fox Lost / a Mark Wahlberg whatever). And the motivation that drives him to become a vigilante is difficult to believe: the usual personal vendetta aridaje – triggered by the death of a relative of the second degree that would not lead anyone to ever world to go against a whole city.

It is not just a problem of the plot is a broader question, of atmosphere and empathy. It would have been a thousand times more interesting if Aiden was moved by true anarchist and anti-system instances: Watch Dogs could be a V for Vendetta console . It was all there, it was enough to want, and instead lacked the courage (or the skills or do not have their own thought) to go beyond the standards of the open world. Sin.

Sending him in archives as a flop, however, it would be unfair: despite proves to be less powerful and less interesting than it could have been, WD remains a major title , programmed with all the trappings and even fun, which makes us guess (without becoming its parent) as may be the games of the future.

Wired: A tide of secondary activities, minigames, surveys, puzzles and collectibles: hours and hours of play. The ability to increase. Interesting implementation of multiplayer mode

Tired: Missions unimaginative. Graphics in the middle between the old and new generation (we tested on the Xbox One). Bad driving model. Chicago is well made, but it does not look ‘touristy’ of GTAV or just Sleeping Dogs

High school, high school grade debut with a bang for that … – The Press

537 242 students who are enrolled in the first year of high school and more than 267 534 of these have chosen a high school address (equal to 49.8%), confirming the positive (+0.9 percentage points) already established in the 2013/14; 30.8% for a technical institute; 19.4% for a vocational school. Fall, however, the inscriptions Technicians (-0.4) and professional (-0.5).

This is what emerges from a focus on the Ministry of Education school enrollment from 2014 to 2015. With 122 140 subscription requests, the high school is the preferred address confirmation (22.7% of members of the national total). In particular, I like the option of Applied Sciences which prevails in the area of ​​science and technology (chosen by 6.3% of students), while the traditional address a decline of 0.8 percentage points offset by the success of the sports sections , great news for the next year (4,456 questions). The Language grows with an increase of preferences by 0.5 percentage points with 47 429 members. The grammar school, with 6% of requests is slightly down (they were 6.1% last year); while marking a small increase of 0.1 percentage points high schools of Music and the Art School. Increasing preferences for the Human Sciences: +0.3.

On the geographic front, the percentage of students who choose to continue their studies following a high school address exceeds the national average (equal to 49.8%) in the central regions (55.4%), with particularly high peaks in England (61.0%) and Umbria (54.6%). Technical institutes like the most in the North, particularly in the Northeast (36.4%) where members are 37.8% and 37% in Veneto Friuli Venezia Giulia; in the North-West is Lombardy (34.3%) to exceed the national average of 30.8% of subscribers. Finally, the career paths in the South reached on average 21% of enrollments: in particular, Campania, Puglia (22.1%) and Basilicata (22.0%) recorded the highest values. Emilia Romagna (21.8%) and Marche (21.7%) showed a proportion of enrolled in higher vocational schools with their respective geographic areas. From the percentage distribution of students enrolled in high schools by region shows that in the South a student prefers to address three scientific. In the North, on the other hand there was a preference for the applied sciences (16% and 17%, respectively, in the north-west and north-east). Students at the Center, finally, are oriented primarily to the linguistic path (19.6%).

Land Rover Freelander 2 MY 2015: price and technical details [PHOTO … – To Guide

http://www.allaguida.it/articolo/land-rover-freelander-2-my-2015-prezzo-e-scheda-tecnica-foto-e-video/62599/

Land Rover Freelander MY 2015

Presenting this SUV Land Rover would say that is the classic off-road medium in size, modern lines, sophisticated and at the same time very elegant, with an aggressive front as well. The cabin is certainly spacious, well finished and protected by seven airbags as standard.
Premise that once the Land Rover Freelander debuted on the market back in 2006 and has undergone a facelift only, not so deep, in June 2010 and again in 2013. Later, after noticing the great success it has had in terms of sales, Land Rover has again proposed a revision of the SUV , one of the images in gallery. The interpretations are not only from the point of view of design, but also with regard to the instrumentation and the new technology it takes.

Specifications , details, small steps on the line of the design. These are the main points on which the engineers of the British brand focused their capacity for renewal worth a car from the high sales figures. Will the price of the gifts on the road and on rough, equipment and anything else to involve customers to break away from the competition and then brand, Land Rover is born only for the production of SUVs and therefore reliability is certainly one of the strengths.
So let’s introduce what are essentially the components of the car interested in a review style . First we mention the new daytime running lights and front lights with LED technology, innovative finishes of the air intake located on the fender and front fog lights surrounded by glossy paint finishes and more opaque, as much as the imposing grille on the front.

Land Rover Freelander 2 2013 my back

They could not be limited to some devices on an aesthetic level. In fact, there are other improvements in the internal : the new technologies available, fitting in this case designed based on those of the Range Rover Evoque. Enriched the list of colors available to the customer for a customization to the top. As far as the bridge is concerned, it has a new on-board computer of excellent vision having a size of seven inches, a sound system technology for improved efficiency (we speak of Meridian enhanced), an air conditioner definitely improved compared to that of today’s Freelander and, among the list of options, a handy navigation system because the car is designed for those who travel. Finishing, let’s talk about a component in cars that generally is the first that takes people’s eye and alloy wheels.

my 2013 Land Rover Freelander 2 Interior

Let’s move on now engines that push vigorously the new Freelander 2 poached renewal of the car is not finished here. There is indeed a new engine in order to gasoline-powered , a 2-liter with a power of 241 horses, the same that equips the Evoque Si4 so with technology. This variant develops a maximum torque of 340 Nm consuming with an average distance that is around 10.4 miles per gallon. Emissions of carbon dioxide are given by the House to a value of 224 g / km. The engine is also equipped with an automatic six-speed Aisin type and a permanent four-wheel drive traction.
Turning to diesel is in a list 2.2 of displacement in the power of 150 horses and 190 with respective fuel consumption of 16.7 miles per gallon for those with 150 horsepower and front wheel drive, 16.1 mpg for the 4 × 4 150 horsepower and 14.3 kilometers a liter to 190 horsepower versions.

How anticipatovi introduction of the article, we talked about renovations well under the point of view of technology Freelander 2: it is an innovative ignition system called Passive Start, then a technology that does not require the insertion of the remote control in the classic pawl ignition. In addition to this news very interesting, there is also the emergency brake electric proposed some years ago in some cars but not the English House. This is, so to say, considered intelligent in a sense because it is identical to consider the slope in which the vehicle is located and, with respect to this data, automatically modulates the braking force. Finally, in addition to the new computer by seven inches, the interior equipment of the dashboard instrument panel also proposes a five-inch.

The evidence and views of the car speak modestly well of its use. On asphalt you drive it like a normal sedan, cornering lies down a little and at the same time if this comes off very well on dirt as well, although does not have the speed reduced. The choice of engines is generally the TD4 which has basically everything you need you need for a normal use.

Men of War: Assault Squad 2 – Multiplayer.it

L ‘latest effort by 1C Company is a new stand-alone expansion of Men of War, characterized by obvious technical improvements

Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is the direct sequel of the most successful expansion of Men of War and gives us some new features while keeping intact the formula of the series. The most obvious change, as we have already said in the preview, the graphics and the gameplay remains related to the advancement from cover to cover in search of neuralgic positions to win and get points . The points obtained can then be spent in additional units such as heavy tanks that can enable us to penetrate more quickly into the enemy lines and are the key to survive in both the single player mode and in multiplayer. In all of this plays a key role micromanagement that includes the use of means such as cover for the infantry, the positioning of the unit with the relative direction of the guard, the management of ammunition and a good sense of timing in relation to the dynamics of an almost frenetic ever who prefers the title tactic to watch. The victory is won one meter at a time The formula, in essence, is the classic of Men of War Assault Squad 2 and this does not miss the opportunity, characteristic of the series, direct control of one of our soldiers. It is an interesting mode that results in the loss of part of the overview, which was problematic in multiplayer, but that allows you to maximize the use of heavy units and allows you to directly affect snipers and other enemy units particularly threatening. The countryside offers many of these situations and it is quite eventful peculiar though many of the 40 missions are played in new editions of maps already seen in the series. In all this we must then take into account that the multiplayer is resolved almost exclusively around a single mechanic, as the main modes are focused on the achievement of the aforementioned nodes through which we obtain the resources needed to strengthen their army. But we still have to testify that the formula works well in combination with the complex shell game and that is enough to give the title the specificity needed to stand out in the extensive range of real-time strategy. Even in multiplayer games to 16, set in new maps specially created, it is not difficult to see stalls more or less sustained over time and how Front Battle of further enhances this particularity of Men of War conflicts giving intense, long and full of opportunities to get worth. If your opponent knows what he’s doing and has correctly positioned the troops is almost impossible to embark on reckless rush and this factor is important for players to leave the space necessary to devote attention to the size of the micro-management title.

Looking for new

With over 200 units, 40 missions, and several multiplayer scenarios, Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is more than satisfactory from the quantitative point of view. Most of the uncertainties related to the early access version and are disappeared between reflections, textures, increased destructibility and density of detail, the graphics have improved not revolutionary but net. The most advanced lighting gives a completely different meaning in the dark night and the obvious improvements related to damaged vehicles add realism to the fighting, including the media. We’re not talking about a technological marvel and model soldiers still leave something to be desired but the step is clearly visible and there are elements of absolute value as in the case of bodies of water. Too bad that, as Assault Squad 2 is extremely rich in content and rather pleasant to look at, the recycled material is a good chunk of the offer and the lack of important news is felt. The victory is won one meter at a time A small development on the multiplayer and not just the technical improvements are valid but they certainly can not appease the growing desire for a true sequel. In all this we must also point out that the method of direct control is still incomplete and full of sharp edges. The mismanagement of the camera and the movement of woody and inaccurate are clear signs of how the game engine is designed for a completely different and need a little revolution to finally be able to sustain what could be a considerable strength. Also decreased the stealth missions that enhance direct control, allowing you to explore the map with greater circumspection, without highlighting the problems of a useful option but still rough. Improvements are marked if we take into consideration the usability factor. The title has the full support Steam and this makes it easier, thanks to Steamworks, the sharing of content created or modified with the most valid and that pretty intuitive editor. In addition infrastructure Valve facilitates not just the search for multiplayer games, and as icing on the cake, we find an improved interface greatly . The HUD is in fact more intuitive and includes more precise indicators to identify our teams not only offers a command, rather useful in fights more excited to highlight what faction are the fallen. To all this we must then add full support for multi-core CPU and adding, not essential but welcome, skin camouflage that make the units more consistent with the geographical and seasonal maps.

MIA Milan Image Art Fair , now in its fourth edition, the international art fair dedicated the picture opens in Milan (Superstudio PiĂą, Via Tortona 27) 23 to 25 May 2014. Approximately 180 Italian and international exhibitors have many established artists and young talents from all over the world, according to the formula unique and original: a stand for every artist, every artist’s catalog. Still under the direction of Fabio Castelli, MIA Fair features the best in photography, through its proposed feature unique in the Italian trade fair, which this year will be in a format innovative moving from traditional paper catalog to e-book format. The event, supported by the Lombardy Region , the Province of Milan , the City of Milan , you can count on reconfirmation of the partners BNL BNP Paribas Group , Lavazza , BMW Italy , Eberhard & Co . and Nikon . Within a few seasons, says Fabio Castelli , MIA Fair is able to bring to the world of Italian photography, a wave of positive energy. 2014 MIA Fair is full of ideas and innovations and is open to the public and with the success of sales achieved at Arte Fiera in Bologna, where we treated, for the first time, a section devoted entirely to photography. It is ideally close to the prestigious appointment of MIA Fair Singapore, scheduled to Marina Bay Sands 23 to 26 October. The Milan edition this year – the fourth – offers several new proposals for quality, researched and organized by my staff with passion and attention that will satisfy, I am sure, the expectations of our exhibitors and the public. ” In 2013, it was the great success that the public has paid tribute to MIA Fair . 20,000 collectors, journalists and lovers of art and design that have visited the fair and participated in the 10 round tables, publications and presentations at 18 to 20 booksigning organized with international guests.

The 180 galleries , independent photographers, specialized publishing – not only from Italy but also from Europe and the rest of the world, have been selected by the Scientific Committee consists of: 3/3 photography projects – Rome
research study on the photographic image; Gigliola Foschi , curator and art critic; Elio Grazioli , contemporary art critic and curator Roberto Mutti , curator and photography critic; Enrica Viganò , curator, photography critic and organizer of events related to photography.
Like every year MIA Fair offers a full program of novelty, which three: the Mila Award Malerba, which has for its subject the East, winking edition of Singapore, with images taken by Philip-Lorca Corcia Thomas Struth , by Nobuyoshi Araki Toshio Shibata ; the curatorial project “ Coffee Artistic with Lavazza six authors emerging exhibiting new works; the presentation of the MAST Foundation . Manufacture, Testing and Technology, or speaking with you , with thirty video installation that tells the story of many Italian photographers. A portfolio organized by “ My Code” which will conclude with a special prize: the most original author will have a booth of its 2015 edition of the fair. The stand ViviMilano , where they will be exposed selfie five players chosen from all those who have participated in the “ # SelfieMi ” launched on April 23.

Three prizes are up for grabs by BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas , which will acquire a work to add to their collections; Malerba , which will give its recognition (€ 2,000 to buy an artwork) not a photographer, but an aspiring critic among those participating in the appropriate seminar; and “I Woman ” that with “Time Regained- Pictures not to be missed” will give € 8,000 to the best Italian private archive to be saved . MIA Fair offers a rich cultural program, among them being the keynote of Hans Op de Beeck , the various talks that will alternate protagonists of the international art scene, which, to name a few, Francesco Bonami and Urs Stahel . Also of note, the performance of video art and music with Irene Grandi and video artists Pastis , the two Florentine Mark and Saverio Lanza .

Among the famous Italian photographers present: Aurelio Amendola, Oliviero Barbers, Giovanni Gastel, Mario Giacomelli, Louis Ghirri and Tazio Secchiaroli.

MIA grows each year of equity and quality. From all over the world are in fact not only the perpetrators, but also the exhibitors: Korea, Japan, Germany, England, Mexico, Netherlands, USA, Russia, Switzerland and of course Italy.
Success is to match supply and demand, giving everyone the opportunity to become collectors. The photograph is still affordable and this is particularly important today. It should be emphasized that MIA adopts an absolute control over runs and editions, however, preferring traditional prints.

The picture today is increasingly popular interest with the ability to capture all thanks to mobile phones and tablets, this makes it popular. The artists themselves use photography as an expression. So artists and photographers living in this new world where technology determines the communication. The photograph is no longer a by-product of art, but an art form, equal to the other.
Consider that such performance does not make sense without the photographs or videos. But even here the documentary form has turned into another artistic product.

The technological constraint no longer exists and this year proves it also emphasizing product of a mutation that makes use of special papers, from cotton to rice paper produced in-house, from the canvas and aluminum, which are stamapati shots, with both traditional and digital media. But here we also see the displacement of three-dimensional surfaces. The shots are combined in writing, become collage materials that blend in among the different objects. The traditional space is broken and also the combination of the various works he composed another in an attempt to construct a narrative, a story. No more shooting photographing reality, but compositional element of a dream. Even in this sense, change colors, photography becomes painting, even with interventions of signs. A new trend is found in the search for compositions tending to a result of abstraction, ranging from the non-place, and even if it originated from the imaginary shots with subjects drawn from nature or architectural visions. The first glance at a distance is an abstract composition, but closer you realize the elements of reality.

In addition to everything in black and white shots strictly analog and printed on photographic paper in the traditional way .
A universal path photographing today with his complaints and dreams or visions of the future actually want.

The digital Taylorism, and how to get out – Wired.it

There is a “Big unpronounceable “in the relationship between work, technology and surveillance, writes Simon Head on ‘Mindless, Why are Smarter Machines Making Humans Dumber’ (Basic Books, p. 230): it is” the world of CBS ” , the Computer Business Systems which are pioneers in the use Walmart, Amazon, UPS, Dell, Toyota. Head, divided between the college career at New York University and Oxford and the project management of the New York Review of Books Foundation, defines them as “ amalgam of different technologies put together to perform complex tasks in the control and monitoring of business, including employees “. That is, tools to monitor the performance “ real-time ” and control every aspect of work life in the organization. And that contain within them “ expert systems that mimic human intelligence to perform cognitive tasks that are an integral part of the business processes that the system must handle “.

A few instance. Back in 2004, less than 89 of the 100 largest U.S. companies according to Fortune did you use to automate personality tests that assess the suitability of potential future employees. In 2010, Walmart has introduced ‘Task Manager’, a software that tells his workers what they need to do, in that time and if they have complied with the expectations – if you do not make it, and many do not make it, taking penalties. And the notes are no exception monitoring practices employed by Amazon, with the packing and moving of parcels planned and drawn per second. Indeed, his system of monitoring employees’ is the most oppressive’ve ever met , “writes Head, with a strong experience in the field. Even if it is for the Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) IBM, which speaks of human relationships as a factor similar to those between data, systems and services, manipulated via drag and drop , which is “ should be closer to a digital version of Huxley’s Brave New World “.

It is the heart of the corporate panoptics , the Panopticon company where workers are no longer regarded as autonomous human beings and independent complaint Head, but paintings and encouraged to be as they want the engineers who set out the processes within the company, “ objects disembodied speed and efficiency inextricably linked to the electronic symbols on the screen “. Point on which the author repeatedly returns: the world of CBS, wrote again, brings a “dehumanizing rationality ” in the functioning of the economy, with a “ authoritarianism ” that us “ deumanizza transforming into abstract entities electronic and statistics submitted to the scientific rationality of the system “. A rationality that is instead the product of human decisions, hidden under the dress falsely impartial and neutral algorithms.

If the speech sounds familiar it is because the ideology that informs, and that is according to Head the root of the contemporary model of production, is the Fordism of what Andrew McAfee and Erik Brjnyolfsson call “ First Age of the Machines “. And most importantly, Taylorism, made of spasmodic measurements of each gesture and, more than anything else, the “ separation of the detailed planning of the work from its execution “. It is from this “ unequal separation of labor “, that separates those who “ creates and controls systems ” by “ who is obedient to the orders of the system and must follow “, which derive many of the inequalities that we have seen grow over the years, and not only in America, and that more and more authors – by Jaron Lanier at the same Brynjolfsson and McAfee – also impute to technological progress.

If Taylor’s Scientific Management is therefore “ presence that hovers in the U.S. economy simultaneously “, which is the invisible made visible and denounced, not for this there are novelty items. Indeed, the spread of automation and monitoring tasks from the “blue collar ” to those of “white-collar ” constitutes an extreme variant and extremely worrying. Thanks to CBS, it says, the effects of industrialization come up to financial services to the world of education (the disturbing story of how the bureaucracy of algorithms and performance will be pushed to the mode of operation of an institution as prestigious as Oxford ), the wholesale and retail trade, health care, management of human resources and the relationship with customers. In this way, “ we can all be working class “. Which means, in this context, clearly derived from Marxist, that we can all be disposed of, the victims of these “holes blacks contemporary economy ” of which we know little or nothing about but which attract more and more investments full-bodied, Head writes. And when “ human side of this new industrialism ” is likely to remain out of the calculation.

How to get out of this mixture of pervasive surveillance (and thus the culture of distrust), lack of responsibility for decisions, reduction of arbitrariness and skills of individuals in the flesh in the operation of more and more organizations? And how to do it while researchers like Stuart Elliott argue that automation already covers potentially 80% of tasks, including those we once called intellectuals to protect them from the competition with the robot? First of all, there is no Head determinism in the relationship between technology and work: “ close identification of information technology and CBS with an authoritarian model of mass production, heavily influenced by the organization of scientific Taylor’s work is a result of history and culture (American, ed) and is not an intrinsic quality of the technologies per se , “he writes. This means that change is possible.

But how? “ It is not difficult to see what needs to be done “, responds Head in closing: “Ides the creation of work to higher wages and higher skills required, with the component technologies CBS as a supplement rather than as a replacement for the expertise of workers, supported by education and training institutions and effective recognition and reward good performance “. Assuming that, sooner or later, the issue enters the public debate. It has not happened.



Postepay prepaid cards for high school students – The Republic

From 28 April in all the Italian state and private schools have over the new cards of the students’ study-I Postepay “: a kind of” electronic purse “. At the beginning 630 000 cards will be distributed to students the first year and, since September, the new card will be distributed to all. The initiative is part of a larger project of the Ministry of Education on financial education and promoting the use of electronic money. In practice, in the pockets of students get a prepaid card, such as those that activate many parents for the costs of their children. Only this time the card is promoted by the Ministry of Education and, compared to those in the trade, has some extra protection: it is not associated with any bank account, not a credit card, and does not allow access to certain sectors considered in risk like game online.

However, it is a prepaid card in all respects: it lasts five years will be recharged up to 2,500 euro per year and students will be able to withdraw up to € 1000. It ‘a technological evolution, designed by former Education Minister Francesco Profumo, the old paper “I study”. If the first card was nothing more than a kind of declaration of the “status” of the student, which gave the possibility to access the classics discounts for younger people (from the museums to the means of transport), Perfume is committed to ensure that, through the paper, we allargassero the horizons of consumption of the students, closing new contracts with phone companies, airlines and electronics stores. Until you get the idea to allow children to charge it with real money.

What is new, however, is creating some discontent among some teachers. So much so that the association “School for the Republic” calls for their immediate withdrawal. “The novelty that makes it unacceptable – they write – is that, besides the usual benefits of a cultural nature, the program also allows you to get discounts Bancoposta, which allows you to have discounts directly in over 27,000 retailers throughout Italy as well as pay for all shops and places in the world that accept VISA cards and withdraw money from ATMs. ” In short, the ministry would be turning students into “consumers”. According to the association nothing more than “the culmination of a series of linguistic innovations introduced by the end of the 90s: portfolio, credits, debts …”.

From the ministry reiterated that it is an educational project, the result of an agreement between the Ministry of Education and Post Office closed in 2013. Sui student forum since its announcement, the paper has been a success, of course, the instrument is convenient, provides access to many discounts, and is less expensive of those in the trade. There are, for example, activation fees (activated only at the request of the boy, and if a minor of the family). Not everything is free, however, if a little ‘cheaper than the average: for every refill you pay 1 euro, as well as withdraw money at Bancoposta.

On the issue also involved the FLC CGIL: “It’ certainly a tool that expands the possibilities of the students, and perhaps should enlarge even more, for example by closing agreements for restaurants – says the Secretary Mimmo Pantaleo – the theme, however, is that the right to education: the prepaid card is fine, but there are too many families who do not have money to put in it. And I also downloaded to the great work on the school secretariats in crisis due to the headcount reduction. “



Care for the environment and more girls who want to work in … – Your Newspaper

Article No. 264 743 of 24/05/2014 – 07:40

Savona . The curtain falls on the issue of the draft 2014 Open Factories that, this year, shows a consolidation of the percentage of kids-oriented training scientific technology. A fact welcomed by the organizers of Open Factories and especially by companies Savona, always on the lookout for professionalism in these areas. “But the result of this edition is really significant growth in the percentage of girls interested in a job in the industry, though it remains heightened their inclination towards the humanities” added the promoters of the initiative.

This figure largely in line with the aims of the project Open Factories, wanted and produced in partnership by the Province of Savona, the Savona Chamber of Commerce and Industry Union of the Province of Savona, in collaboration with the Port Authority of Savona and Vado, which aims to guide students in junior high to a more informed choice of school education thanks to a direct knowledge of Savona companies and their requirements in terms of jobs and skills.

To the seventh consecutive year, the Open has conducted about 800 boys, 31 classes from 12 comprehensive schools, and their teachers, with the support of the Association of Young Science, visiting 14 companies Savona industry leader, with a formula that successfully combines business visits, in-depth class, part of the game and competition, as well as a survey conducted at the end of the visits to assess the impact of the initiative on youth.

Among the novelties of 2014 , stands the growth of girls who want to work in the industry, with a rate which stands at 76%, compared to 66.80% of their male peers. Among other options, always current medical and scientific professions, then small business enterprises (with 10.8%) and manual labor and craft (12.25%). The sporting career is the dream of many, especially in males with 6.1% compared to 3.4% of the girls, still very prone to teaching (26%). All the young men are, however, agree on the main criterion for selection of their work: 52% said that it should be something you like, in line with their attitudes, and only secondarily to ensure a good salary (38.5%).

To achieve this goal, it is essential to have clear ideas about schooling, especially in an age that requires students to choose a course of higher education, however, in the vast majority already identified. 70% of respondents, in fact, has already decided which school to attend: 54% of students will opt for an address technical sciences (93.6% for males); 46% for a humanities course (85% in girls).

This is the most concrete result of Open Factories, which recognizes the commitment of the Industrial Union and its partners in the last seven years, are particularly increased at high school students enrolled in technical-scientific, going to increase the pool of expertise to draw upon when companies Savona in the search for appraisers, engineers, chemists, biologists and many other graduates in engineering and science.

Among the requirements that students have researched the companies visited in the first place stands the environment, perceived as well as to protect and enhance through regulatory compliance, but also through the use of new skills dedicated. Nearly 90% of teens surveyed currency is very important for an industry, to respect the environment; 84% believe that, in the companies visited, this happens (perception in growth compared to 78% last year). Merit also of the latest technologies used by the industry Savona, which have fascinated the 66% of the students.

Once the visits, the final round will take place as usual with two events: May 28 in Savona and on June 4 in Cairo Montenotte, with the awarding of 31 winners (one for each class participant) of the game “Conquest of a scientific mind.” It will be the occasion to present the film made by the children, as a video reporter during visits to Open Factories. For all students involved in the project and for their families, is now the time to carefully choose the schooling and knowledge of the future industrial Savona, with its development prospects and its demands of professionals, will provide a valuable starting point assessment.

The 12 institutes including the territory that have participated are: Savona, Savona II, III Savona, Albisole, Albenga, Finale Ligure, Cairo Montenotte, Carcare, Millwall, Quiliano, Spotorno and Vado Ligure. Instead these 14 companies that have accepted students: Port Authority of Savona and Vado, Bitron Spa, Bombardier Transportation Italy SpA, Cabur Ltd, Continental Brakes Italy Spa, ESI Spa, Ferrania Solis Srl Italy Srl Infineum, Noberasco Spa, Reefer Terminal Spa, Saint-Gobain Vetri SpA, Schneider Electric Spa, Trench Italy Srl and Trenitalia Spa

The news has been read as a condemnation wearable technology, a business highly publicized by Nike to attract the attention of the general public in the past two years. But so much publicity has failed to prevent the bracelets end up in the bottom of a drawer after a few months, while some observed that they were not too ‘fashion’.

War wearable
may have decided that the Nike FuelBand is an expensive gadget. But according to Forbes, there are other factors that may have weighed in the decision. Among them, the battle on wearable, a challenging business, in the process of becoming a real war with the descent into the field of other major competitors. In particular, bearing in mind the launch of iWatch (or whatever you call the Apple device), coming due by the end of the year.

Arrives Apple?
Apple CEO Tim Cook, who often wore the FuelBand in public events, is a member of the board of directors Nike. It would not be at all surprising if Nike was playing his cards with one of the largest technology companies in the world, with which it has close ties. According to CNET, Nike focuses on software and Apple iWatch will probably be better than any hardware platform of Nike.

Developers Conference
eyes are, for now, to Tim Cook’s keynote at WWDC, Apple’s developer conference to be held at Moscone West in San Francisco June 2, at 10 (19 in Italy).

The usual rumors speak of product news Apple, starting from the software with new versions of iOS and OS X.

Innovation, the ad Ambrosetti interview: “Back to reality? Le … – FIRSTonline

“The crisis of 2008 has led us to consider finance as an ephemeral medium and then to advocate a return to the real economy. But the growth in the third industrial revolution, it is mainly through innovation and startups.” So Valerio De Molli, Managing Director of The European House-Ambrosetti , on the day of the Technology Forum castle estate, in the Veneto region, which brings together all the Italian and international, who mistakenly considered to be far from the “back to reality “prophesied by many. “Innovation and technology are needed to build a competitive entrepreneurial attitude, then why not also can be used to open a pizzeria.” New this year is the Ambrosetti Innosystem Index, which unfortunately sees Italy in the latest positions: “But in the last year, the Government has set important initiatives.” The model confirms South Korea FIRSTONLINE: The appointment of technological The European House – Ambrosetti is now in its third edition. What is the balance in participation in and contributions to the debate?

VALERIO DE SOFT: “We are going to cap the third edition, it is true, but the Technology Forum is primarily a permanent laboratory , which since 2011 has brought together more than 300 CEOs from major organizations involved in the innovation chain in Italy, and which belong to the four pillars of technology transfer: research, finance, business and institutions . The work of this Community of Ambrosetti Club, exclusively dedicated to Technology, Innovation and Technology Transfer (Titt), it generates every year imported a final document, the Report “The ecosystem for innovation. Which avenues for growth businesses and the country “, which contains some key metrics to measure the innovation ecosystem in our country and especially to indicate to decision makers strategies to strengthen it through concrete proposals. If I were to make an assessment in terms of the quality of participation and contribution to growth made available by the Technology Forum, I would say that is fully expressed in the strength and vision of the final report. “

FIRSTONLINE – Again this year several foreign guests, with the update dell’Ambrosetti Index, which sees South Korea soar as for innovation. substantial Why? What do you consider international models to follow?

VDM: “The Final Report contains a substantial chapter on the measurement of the current situation, a matter of sentiment – that we derived from a specific survey among business leaders of the community – and an absolute datum, which is expressed nell’Innosystem Index of Ambrosetti. Sorry to note that in the final standings – this year expanded to 13 countries – Italy is still the most backward position, although a slight improvement. While affirms the strength of the ecosystems of success, most notably South Korea . Over the past 10 years – in a context of increased competition and resource scarcity – the emergence of production centers in Asia, Africa and Latin America has revolutionized the horizon for competitive products in low and medium technology and has greatly increased the competitive award the market introduction of advanced products. In the next 10-20 years the change will intensify “the knoweldge economy” and the so-called “third industrial revolution”, rimescoleranno cards, creating new horizons of opportunities and constraints for companies and systems-country worldwide.

FIRSTONLINE – What is the “third industrial revolution”?

VDM: “Today the challenge of innovation no longer resides in the implementation of linear models of innovation that conceive innovative output as defined result from predetermined quantitative inputs (capital, human capital, facilities), but it happens from integrated innovation ecosystems in which the results of innovation are determined as a function of the interactions between key actors (academic, institutional and business) and in which the maximization of the speed of the network and optimize the efficiency are critical success factors. Against this backdrop, the performance of the different countries is always more linked to the capacity of each ecosystem of innovation to maximize the efficiency of the innovative all territorial levels: Technology Clusters / hub of innovation – in turn local innovation ecosystems – are be-coming more and more nodes strategic and decisive in results national innovation. ” These clusters, which are designed as “geographic concentrations of firms, suppliers of inputs and services, intermediaries (including financial) and research institutions” have an increasing role as catalysts of innovation and driving centers of growth and competitiveness, both in respect of the countries of belonging, both with respect to global production chains such as the world-class knowledge producer. “

FIRSTONLINE – Italy therefore still marks the step. Which are the most critical yet? The the new government, according to her, is taking the right path on the themes of the Digital Agenda and technology in general?

VDM: “This year the Final Report of the Technology Forum opens with a summary of activities of the Government in the field of technological innovation: it is a budget point by point, the extent to which initiatives and those under construction on the basis of proposals submitted by the Community Titt in previous years, in five ‘yards ‘fundamental national innovation strategy, investment in innovation, research-industry cooperation, development of innovative companies and Culture of innovation. It should be emphasized that in the last twelve months, the government has set important initiatives in the field of technological innovation , some of which have already been translated into action. However, there remains a certain fragility, systemic innovation capacity in Italian, which is expressed mainly in three ways: investment in innovation below the European average, low propensity to the use of patents and poor development of the equity market. “

FIRSTONLINE – A small provocation: Briatore said recently, speaking to students at Bocconi: “Other than startup, open pizzerias.” What it feels like to respond? Because, according to her, the young should instead insist on startup?

VDM: “I think also that Briatore was a provocation – connected to a mantra is widely used today, which is that of the ‘back to reality’ . This is in part a reaction to the excessive role until 2008 that the world’s economies have allocated to finance, summarily labeled with an idea of ​​ephemeral, unreal in fact. But the point is not that. Our goal must be to encourage the entrepreneurial attitude, since primary school, teaching the special set of skills and attitudes that can make each of us a self – employee. It is an attitude that fosters growth through innovation, however, regardless of whether you decide to found a start-up or put it at the service of a big company. Or even to open a pizzeria. ”
