ICT e piccole imprese. Il Cubo della Predisposizione Tecnologica Aziendale

The ability to use ICT to handle, process and use business data, as well as to develop new tools to support process management and control functions, is an essential condition for small businesses’ competitiveness. Important differences in ICT adoption rates between large and small firms have been identified, but it is important to properly assess the technological position of small businesses (SB), in order to reflect different ICT development paths. For this reason this paper presents a three-dimensional assessment framework - named Cube of the Corporate Technological Level (CCTL) - which allows evaluating businesses’ technological position using three different dimensions. Some case studies are briefly described in order to illustrate the ability of the model to reflect differences between enterprises with different technological positions. This tool enables companies to properly assess their technological position as well as their potential and existing weaknesses. It also allows choosing future ICT investments, as it can help to outline the path to follow for reaching a position of optimum technological development

Checklist of free-living nematode species in the transitional environment of Lake Varano (Southern Italy)

This study documents for the first time the taxonomic composition of the nematode community and the number of free–living nematode species in Lake Varano, Southern Adriatic Sea, Italy. The nematode community was mainly composed of species typical of fine sediments that usually prevail in transitional environments (TEs). An overall high number of nematode species was recorded (55), belonging to 36 genera in 17 families. These values are highly comparable to those reported for other Italian TEs, but appear lower than those recorded in other European brackish–water systems, probably in relation to the low salinity range of Lake Varano. Forty taxa were identified up to species level, thus increasing the number of the nematode marine species known for the Italian coasts from 443 to 463, for the Adriatic basin from 310 to 313, and for the Southern Adriatic sector from 37 to 77. Considering the importance of this phylum in the assessment of ecological quality and the great vulnerability of the Adriatic Sea ecosystems, an intensification of sampling efforts should be planned, especially in the Central–Southern part of the basin. Such a plan would provide new insights into the biogeography of one of the most important components of the benthic domain and potentially yield new information about the climate warming effects on the Adriatic Sea.

Blanco White: un militante contra el absolutismo. Del liberalismo a la cuestión colonial

Jose Maria Blanco White is one of the most attractive figures at the beginning of Spanish contemporary history and one of the most unfairly reviled. Even though his writings and his thought are still today largely undiscovered, this controversial and unorthodox liberal portrays a critical exponent of the most important crisis of conscience that Spain has known in its history, the Old Regime crisis, the Enlightenment breakdown, and the emergence of the new liberal era in the years of the War of Independence. His exile in England (1810-1841) enabled him not only to relate to some of the most prominent British thinkers, but also to realize America. There is where he will find out that a part of Spain is able and actually must get rid of the yoke of tyranny and misrule.
