Integrative Taxonomy: A study on some of Victoria Land?s Antarctic mite species
Creators: name: BRUNETTI, CLAUDIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Siena
Year: 2021

description: The extremely inhospitable Antarctic ecosystems confine plants and invertebrates to sparse and restricted ice-free areas. These species survived for millions of years in isolated refugia where population divergence and differentiation can occur, potentially resulting in speciation. The limited dispersal abilities of invertebrate species combined with their specific habitat requirements and the substantial geographical barriers can drastically reduce the gene flow between different populations, resulting in high genetic differentiation between clusters of individuals. With more than 100 described species, mites are surely the most diverse invertebrate group of Continental Antarctica. Among them, the free-living genus Stereotydeus Berlese, 1901 (Acari: Prostigmata) is represented by 6 Antarctic species of which 5 occur along the coastal zones of Victoria Land and the Transantarctic Mountains. In order to examine the biodiversity and the phylogeographic distribution ranges of Stereotydeus spp. across Victoria Land, I conducted an integrated analysis of the genus through phylogenetic, morphological and population genetics studies on specimens collected from nine localities in Victoria Land. I sequenced the second part of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I mitochondrial gene (cox1) and a fragment of the 28S ribosomal RNA-encoding gene using mite-specific primers. I morphologically identified and described two novel Stereotydeus species from central and south Victoria Land. While the relationships between the cox1 haplotypes from North Victoria Land are well defined, the distribution of the central-southern species appears more complex. This suggests a possible common evolutionary history in many isolated glacial refugia, with scarce gene flow even within populations probably resulting from inter/intra-specific events influenced by several abiotic/biotic factors. Recent threats to Antarctic biodiversity like accelerated climate change, pollution, biological invasions and the increase of human activities have caused increased calls for adequate conservation measures. Establishing a new distribution map for the Stereotydeus species of Victoria Land may help lay the foundations for future decisions in matters of protection and conservation of the unique terrestrial fauna of Antarctica.
STUDIO OSSERVAZIONALE MULTICENTRICO SUL RICORSO ALLE PROCEDURE DI VALUTAZIONE DEL RISCHIO E/O DI DIAGNOSI PRENATALE.

description: Multicenter observational study using the procedures for risk assessment and / or prenatal diagnosis

BACKGROUND
The increased use of the screening test and prenatal diagnosis is closely correlated with the perception of risk.
Often the perception of risk is adjusted according to the choice, some already made, even according to their family history and socio-cultural context. The causal relationship between real and perceived risk is very difficult to determine and many factors of different nature interfere. Often the lack of knowledge and understanding prevail in generating those feelings that lead women to make unconscious choices.

OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate the factors influencing choice of invasive techniques (CVS, amniocentesis) for prenatal diagnosis (PD) in a population of women, after childbirth, that delivery in S.Gerardo Hospital (Monza) and V.Buzzi Hospital (Milano).

METHOD
Structured interview in an unselected population of consecutive women (after childbirth) administered by 2 trained interviewers. The interview included social variables and clinical history, type of care during pregnancy, use of screening tests, and VAS (visual analogue scale, range from 1 to 10) of perceived risk of miscarriage due to amniocentesis (using risk of 1/200), and of a child with Down Syndrome (DS) (using a risk of 1/350). Both VAS investigated the perceived risk in term of intensity and acceptability (0 least risk and least acceptable to 10 most risk and more acceptable). Statistical analysis included logistic regression, in which all variables significant at univariate were entered, with p<0.01 or 95% CI not inclusive of unit considered significant.

RESULTS
60% of women underwent screening test and 22% underwent invasive procedures.
At logistic regression factors affecting the choice of screening test were: to have already had at least one miscarriage (OR=2,72 p=0,0016), to have received a consulance (OR=3,13 p=0,0017), number of visits during pregnance (OR=1,29 p=0,0003), wrong knowledge about test(OR=1,83 p=0,039).
 At logistic regression factors affecting the choice of invasive PD were: maternal age (OR 11,58 p<.0001),to be married (OR=0,23 p=0,005) to have received a consulance (OR=3,53 p=0,001) ,to be assisted in a public service (p=0,06), considering low the risk of miscarriage after amniocentesis (p=0,08).

CONCLUSIONS:
The choices regarding screening test and invasive PD are influenced by type of assistance, while social variables are less involved. The counselling should consider factors involved in perceiving risks.

description: The significance of early modern Bible translation cannot be overstated, but its “breadth, and length, and depth, and height” have often been understated (King James Version, Ephesians 3.18). In this study, I use three representative case studies of very different types of translation to create a more dynamic understanding of actual Bible translation practices in early modern England. These studies examine not only the translations themselves but also the ways that the translation choices they contain interacted with early modern readers.
 The introductory Chapter One outlines the history of translation and of Bible translation more specifically. It also summarizes the states of the fields into which this work falls, Translation Studies and Religion and Literature. It articulates the overall scope and goals of the project, which are not to do something entirely new, per se, but rather to use a new framework to update the work that has already been done on early modern English Bible translation. Chapter Two presents a case study in formal interlingual translation that analyzes a specific word-level translation choice in the King James Version (KJV) to demonstrate the politics involved even in seemingly minor translation choices. Chapter Three treats the intermedial translation of the Book of Psalms in the Sternhold and Hopkins psalter. By using the language and meter of the populace and using specific translation choices to accommodate the singing rather than reading of the Psalms, the Sternhold and Hopkins psalter facilitates a more active and participatory experience for popular worshippers in early modern England. Finally, Chapter Four analyzes John Milton’s literary translation in Paradise Lost and establishes it as a spiritual and cultural authority along the lines of formal interlingual translations. If we consider this translation as an authoritative one, Milton’s personal theology expressed therein becomes a potential theological model for readers as well.
By creating a more flexible understanding of what constitutes an authoritative translation in early modern England, this study expands the possibilities for the theological, interpretive, and practical applications of biblical texts, which touched not only early modern readers but left their legacies for modern readers of all kinds as well.

description: Converting a nutrient management plan from commercial fertilizers to poultry litter helps effectively utilize waste from the nearly 10 billion broiler birds across the United States. Nine field scale watersheds from the USDA ARS Grassland, Soil and Water Research Laboratory near Riesel, TX were evaluated for P inputs and P outputs to determine phosphorus budgets for 15 years of annual application of poultry litter ranging from 75 – 219 kg P ha-1 yr-1 on cultivated and pasture/grazed fields. The cumulative net P continued to increase regardless of the application rate and had a positive relationship with soil level P (Mehlich-3 P) and flow weighted mean concentration (FWMC) for dissolved reactive P for both cultivated and pasture managed fields. We assessed hydrological connectivity within two nested watersheds by using the before-after-control-impact (BACI) design. Results showed hydrological connectivity during high rainfall years whereas low rainfall years had minimal connectivity compared to the controls. These results suggest the P contributions from upstream fields receiving poultry litter, even at high application rates, did not exhibit a treatment effect during the low rainfall years at downslope monitoring stations.
 As nutrient source variability increases in nutrient management plans, improving our ability to differentiate P sources and their fate in soils is critical. We evaluated soils with unique P inputs: inorganic P, poultry litter, and cattle grazing for isotopic signatures by forming silver phosphate and determining the δ18OP. Isotopic signatures of the oxygen molecules which are strongly bound to P, provided signatures of 17.09‰, 18.00‰, and 17.20‰ for fields receiving commercial fertilizer, poultry manure, and cattle grazed, respectively. Significant effort was made to determine critical steps in the method to successfully precipitate Ag3PO4 for analysis. Results show adding a cation removal step as well as monitoring and adjusting pH throughout the method increases probability of successful Ag3PO4 precipitation. Findings from this study provide a valuable framework for future analysis to confirm unique δ18OP signatures which can be used to differentiate the fate of different phosphorus sources in agricultural systems.
Meaning-Making Processes Across the Lifespan: An Investigation of Metacognitive Capacity and Autobiographical Reasoning

Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Deficits in metacognitive capacity (i.e., the ability to integrate knowledge of oneself and others into a cohesive whole) have been shown to lead to poor functional outcome in psychosis. However, there is a gap in the literature concerning the role of metacognition in typically developing populations, which makes it difficult to define what level of metacognition is normative. Evidence from other models of self-experience such as autobiographical reasoning indicate that self-reflection increases across the lifespan, suggesting that the same may be true for metacognitive capacity. Thus, the current study expands knowledge of the self-concept by establishing a connection between metacognitive capacity and autobiographical reasoning and exploring the developmental course of metacognition in healthy populations. To that end, the following aims were evaluated: 1) Determining the developmental trajectory of metacognitive capacity; 2) Elucidating the relationship between metacognitive capacity and autobiographical reasoning; and 3) Exploring the potential moderating effect of autobiographical reasoning on the proposed relationship between age and metacognitive capacity. Our findings suggest that overall metacognitive capacity is consistent across the lifespan; however, awareness of the experiences of others increases with age. We also found that metacognitive capacity and autobiographical reasoning are separate constructs, with only a trend level negative association between autobiographical reasoning and decentration. This novel study elucidates the role of aging on metacognition and suggests that self-reflectivity is generally intact in the absence of severe psychopathology.

Heterogeneity- and Risk-Aware Algorithms for Task Allocation To Mobile Agents

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Control engineering, mechatronics and robotics not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis, we investigate and characterize policies for task allocation to teams of agents in settings with heterogeneity and risk. We first consider a scenario consisting of a set of heterogeneous mobile agents located at a base (or depot), and a set of tasks dispersed over a geographic area. The agents are partitioned into different types. The tasks are partitioned into specialized tasks that can only be done by agents of a certain type, and generic tasks that can be done by any agent. The distances between every pair of tasks are specified and satisfy the triangle inequality. Given this scenario, we address the problem of allocating these tasks among the available agents (subject to type compatibility constraints) while minimizing the maximum travel cost for any agent. We first look at the Heterogeneous Agent Cycle Problem (HACP) where agents start at a common base (or depot) and need to tour the set of tasks allocated to them before returning to the base. This problem is NP-hard, and we provide a 5-approximation algorithm. We then consider the Heterogeneous Agent Path Problem (HAPP) where agents can start from arbitrary locations and are not constrained to return to their start location. We consider two approaches to solve HAPP and provide a 15-approximation algorithm for HAPP. We then look at the effect of risk on path planning by considering a scenario where a mobile agent is required to collect measurements from a geographically dispersed set of sensors and return them to a base. The agent faces a risk of destruction while traversing the environment to reach the sensors and gets the reward for gathering a sensor measurement only if it successfully returns to base. We call this the Single Agent Risk Aware Task Execution (SARATE) problem. We characterize several properties of the optimal policy for the agent. We provide the optimal policy when the risk of destruction is sufficiently high and evaluate several heuristic policies via simulation. We then extend the analysis to multiple heterogeneous agents. We show that the scoring scheme is submodular when the risk is sufficiently high, and the greedy algorithm gives solutions that provide a utility that is guaranteed to be within 50% of the optimal utility.
Design and Control of a Knee Exoskeleton for Assistance and Power Augmentation
Creators: name: SACCARES, LORENZO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: Thanks to the technological advancements, assistive lower limb exoskeletons are moving from laboratory settings to daily life scenarios. This dissertation makes a contribution toward the development of assistive/power augmentation knee exoskeletons with an improved wearability, ergonomics and intuitive use. In particular, the design and the control of a novel knee exoskeleton system, the iT-Knee Bipedal System, is presented. It is composed by: a novel mechanism to transmit the assistance generated by the exoskeleton to the knee joint in a more ergonomic manner; a novel method that requires limited information to estimate online the torques experienced by the ankles, knees and hips of a person wearing the exoskeleton; a novel sensor system for shoes able to track the feet orientation and monitor their full contact wrench with the ground.
In particular, the iT-Knee exoskeleton, the main component of the aforementioned system, is introduced. It is a novel six degree of freedom knee exoskeleton module with under-actuated kinematics, able to assist the flexion/extension motion of the knee while all the other joint?s movements are accommodated. Thanks to its mechanism, the system: solves the problem of the alignment between the joint of the user and the exoskeleton; it automatically adjusts to different users? size; reduces the undesired forces and torques exchanged between the attachment points of its structure and the user?s skin.
From a control point of view, a novel approach to address difficulties arising in real life scenarios (i.e. noncyclic locomotion activity, unexpected terrain or unpredicted interactions with the surroundings) is presented. It is based on a method that estimates online the torques experienced by a person at his ankles, knees and hips with the major advantage that does not rely on any information of the user?s upper body (i.e. pose, weight and center of mass location) or on any interaction of the user?s upper body with the environment (i.e. payload handling or pushing and pulling task). This is achieved
v
by monitoring the full contact wrench of the subject with the ground and applying an inverse dynamic approach to the lower body segments.
To track the full contact wrench between the subject?s feet and the ground, a novel add on system for shoes has been developed. The iT-Shoe is adjustable to different user?s size and accommodates the plantar flexion of the foot. It tracks the interactions and the orientation of the foot thanks to two 6axis Force/Torque sensors, developed in-house, with dedicated embedded MEMS IMUs placed at the toe and heel area.
Different tasks and ground conditions were tested to validate and highlight the potentiality of the proposed knee exoskeleton system. The experimental results obtained and the feedback collected confirm the validity of the research conducted toward the design of more ergonomic and intuitive to use exoskeletons.

Linguistic humour in Polish media: a study into wordplay mechanisms in TV news headlines
Creators: name: Adamczyk, Magdalena
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2012

description: The present paper is a data-driven study targeted at investigating the peculiarities of wordplay found in the headlines in a popular TV news program, Fakty, screened live on a daily basis at 7 p.m. on TVN, one of Polish commercial broadcasters. The principal reason for bringing this linguistic phenomenon into focus is not only its liberal use in the program, the headlines being larded with plays on words, but also its rich diversity. For the purposes of the present study wordplay has been defined broadly as a blanket term covering phenomena as discrete as genuine puns, typographical play, portmanteau words, oxymoronic play and other forms of verbal acrobatics. As such, it is here considered roughly synonymous with what is elsewhere labelled verbal play, verbal/linguistic humour or play on words/language. The entire body of data culled from the above-mentioned news programme is comprised of c. 150 examples of miscellaneous playful forms. Primarily, the study seeks to categorize them into separate groups, depending on the type of linguistic mechanisms they rest on. On top of that, some remarks are passed on wordplay quantity-quality relationship in the examined corpus as well as on its function in TV news headlines in general.

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Amedeo Avogadro
Year: 2014

description: In the first part of this thesis work, they have been investigated the solubilizing properties of ?-DM and ?-DM on the isolation of photosynthetic complexes from pea thylakoids membranes maintaining their native architecture of stacked grana and stroma lamellae. Exposure of these stacked thylakoids to a single step treatment with increasing concentrations (5?100 mM) of ?-DM or ?-DM resulted in a quick partial or complete solubilization of the membranes. Regardless of the isomeric form used: 1) at the lowest DM concentrations only a partial solubilization of thylakoids was achieved, giving rise to the release of mainly small protein complexes mixed with membrane fragments enriched in PSI from stroma lamellae; 2) at concentrations above 30 mM a complete solubilization occurred with the further release of high molecular weight protein complexes identified as dimeric PSII, PSI-LHCI and PSII?LHCII supercomplexes. It has been identified in 50 mM of both detrgents the minimal concentration that fully solubilized PSII-LHCII supercomplexes. In the second part of this work they have been characterized, in terms of polypeptide composition, purity and functionality by using biochemical techniques, two forms of PSII-LHCII supercomplexes isolated via sucrose gradient centrifugation from solubilized Pisum sativum thylakoid with 50 mM??- and ?-n-dodecil maltoside. In according to the previous results, to isolate the supercomplexes they have been solubilized directly thylakoids instead of PSII membranes (BBYs), in order to minimize the possibility of detergent-induced artefacts and they have been used stacked membranes in order to avoid destabilization of the interaction of LHCII with the PSII core. The isolated supercomplexes haven?t shown any ATP-ase and PSI contaminations. Both supercomplexes have shown an identical set of LMM subunits. The supercomplex isolated with ?-DM was larger and more intact, in terms of OEC and Lhcb subunits, than the supercomplex isolated with ?-DM. The supercomplex isolated with ?-DM has shown an higher activity than of those isolated with ?-DM. In the last part of the work they have been structurally characterized both isolated supercomplexes by using EM single particle analysis. The EM data have shown that the supercomplexes isolated with ?-DM was a C2S2M2 while those isolated with ?-DM was a C2S2 supercomplex. They have been obtained the 2D projection maps and the 3D reconstructions maps and angular reconstitution at 30 � (for the C2S2M2) and at 28 � (for the C2S2).

description: he use of student-centered instructional strategies is a common practice in engineering classes. However, understanding which instructional strategies have a more profound effect on students’ performance and motivation is fundamental in course design. Such comparisons would allow instructors to design and plan their courses with better learning activities, which could lead to better student engagement and learning. In this three-paper dissertation, I explored the relative effectiveness of two instructional strategies 1) reflective thinking, and 2) teamwork participation by primarily using quantitative methods. Self-regulated learning theory and the Interactive-Constructive-Active-Passive (ICAP) framework guided the selection of these two strategies.The first study investigated the relationship of an instructional strategy and a motivational construct through the following research questions: 1) Do students with high academic self-efficacy generate high-quality reflections? 2) To what degree do students’ self-efficacy beliefs and reflection quality scores predict their learning outcomes? Bivariate Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationships.In the second study, I focused on studying the relative effectiveness of two instructional strategies on a motivational construct in a larger engineering class. More specifically, the second study focused on understanding change in students’ participation in two instructional strategies (i.e., reflective thinking and teamwork) and students’ achievement goals. Further, the study investigated the unique contribution of instructional strategies on students’ academic performance and changes in achievement goals. I used stepwise hierarchical regression, simultaneous regression, and repeated measures ANOVA to analyze the data.The third study focused on investigating the role of the same two instructional strategies on students’ academic performance and multiple motivational constructs (i.e., self-efficacy, task value, and engagement). I used structural equation modeling, and repeated measures ANOVA to analyze the data.

UNRAVELLING THE ROLE OF THE HISTONE DEMETHYLASE JARID1B IN MACROPHAGES
Creators: name: NOTARBARTOLO, SAMUELE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Inflammation is a fundamental response to the loss of cellular and tissue homeostasis with many important physiological roles, including host defence, tissue remodelling and repair, and the regulation of metabolism. Macrophages are not only crucial mediators of the inflammatory response, but they are also able to integrate lipid metabolism and inflammatory signalling. After an inflammatory stimulus, the expression of several hundred genes is either induced or repressed in macrophages. This complex transcriptional response consists of multiple transcriptional modules that encode different functional programmes and that are controlled by dedicated transcription factors.
Post-translational modifications of histones are important determinants of transcriptional activity, and it has become evident that many chromatin modifications are extremely dynamic also in response to environmental stimuli. Among these, trimethylation of H3K4 is well conserved during evolution, and is usually associated with the 5? ends of actively transcribed or ?poised? genes.
Although in the last decades the signalling pathways leading to the activation of an inflammatory response have been very well characterized, the knowledge about the tuning of this complex transcriptional network is still limited.
Using a candidate approach we demonstrated that Jarid1b is transcriptionally up-regulated with a slow kinetics by LPS stimulation under the control of the transcription factor Hif1?.
Jarid1b is a member of the JARID1 family of H3K4 demethylases, and it has been proposed to act as transcriptional repressor, with a putative role in cell proliferation.
Depletion experiments in primary macrophages suggested that Jarid1b is necessary for the activation of the master regulator of cholesterol metabolism, LXR, and the expression of its target genes, likely through the control of cellular oxysterols pools.
We also generated Jarid1b knock-out mice, and performed global expression analysis in Jarid1b-deficient macrophages. The obtained data together with genomic binding analyses showed a very limited transcriptional regulatory function for Jarid1b in this cellular system. We also collected preliminary data on a possible role for Jarid1b, independent of its reported histone demethylase enzymatic activity, in regulating RNA methylation levels.
title: Media and communicative practices in the quest for the commons: Chile’s 2011 student movement
Creators: name: Saavedra, Jorge

Subjects: subject: commons, social movements, Latin America, media and communications, neoliberalism, student movements

description: This thesis is an in depth analysis of the communicative and media practices displayed by the Chilean students movement, in 2011, and the way these practices contributed to the building of a commons with capacity for the political to exist in Chilean neoliberal democracy. The thesis interrogates the concept of the commons and in the process questions literature on democracy, social movements, and media and communication studies. I argue that in the context of the Chilean student movement the concept of voice should be seen as a political commons that has been expropriated from people in three ways: as a resource that is no longer relevant for the way neoliberal democracies are run; as a relationship curtailed by flawed space of mediation; and ultimately as a form of entitlement. Under these conditions, this thesis investigates the ways in which the commons of voice can be rendered from below and the political can be opened up in spite of the hollowing out of democracies in (neo)liberal times. 

Embracing a qualitative approach involving interviews and focus groups to approach participants and thematic analysis and grounded theory to analyse data, the research presents four communicative and media practices: the knitting of trust in the intimacy of households and walled spaces; the displaying and representing of bodies in the urban realm; the construction of an imagined commons and the confronting of adversaries in mainstream media; the diffusing of information on the Internet and the failings of communicative exchanges on the web. These practices show the construction of a momentary commons based on practices of affection, presence, ideological dispute and collective identification that subverted neoliberal logics of coexistence, albeit for only a short period of time. The thesis hopes to provide insights that point towards the overcoming of the limitations of the communicative ecology of neoliberal democracies for a more lasting political imprint as well as imagining how politics might be done better from daily life landscapes and beyond outdated liberal frameworks.
Motion Planning and Control for the Locomotion of Humanoid Robot

description: This thesis aims to contribute on the motion planning and control problem of the locomotion
of humanoid robots. For the motion planning, various methods were proposed
in different levels of model dependence. First, a model free approach was proposed
which utilizes linear regression to estimate the relationship between foot placement
and moving velocity. The data-based feature makes it quite robust to handle modeling
error and external disturbance. As a generic control philosophy, it can be applied to
various robots with different gaits. To reduce the risk of collecting experimental data
of model-free method, based on the simplified linear inverted pendulum model, the
classic planning method of model predictive control was explored to optimize CoM
trajectory with predefined foot placements or optimize them two together with respect
to the ZMP constraint. Along with elaborately designed re-planning algorithm and
sparse discretization of trajectories, it is fast enough to run in real time and robust
enough to resist external disturbance. Thereafter, nonlinear models are utilized for
motion planning by performing forward simulation iteratively following the multiple
shooting method. A walking pattern is predefined to fix most of the degrees of the
robot, and only one decision variable, foot placement, is left in one motion plane and
therefore able to be solved in milliseconds which is sufficient to run in real time. In
order to track the planned trajectories and prevent the robot from falling over, diverse
control strategies were proposed according to the types of joint actuators. CoM stabilizer
was designed for the robots with position-controlled joints while quasi-static
Cartesian impedance control and optimization-based full body torque control were
implemented for the robots with torque-controlled joints. Various scenarios were set
up to demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the proposed approaches, like
walking on uneven terrain, walking with narrow feet or straight leg, push recovery
and so on.
GIORGIO CORREGGIARI E LA FIGURA DELLO STILISTA IN ITALIA: 1967-1990

description: Giorgio Correggiari � stato un designer di moda italiano, esponente del fenomeno noto come ?era degli stilisti?, che corrisponde al periodo compreso tra gli anni Sessanta e Ottanta del XX secolo. Rientrano in tale definizione figure tra loro molto diverse come Walter Albini, Mariuccia Mandelli (Krizia), Elio Fiorucci, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, oltre a Correggiari. Quest?ultimo, nato in una famiglia di produttori tessili, inizia la propria carriera nei primi anni Sessanta, con l?apertura, insieme al fratello, della boutique Pam Pam a Riccione, successivamente trasferita a Milano. Da quel momento lavora come stilista per aziende di tutto il mondo e per il proprio marchio Giorgio Correggiari, fondato nel 1975. Correggiari si � contraddistinto per il suo forte interesse verso la sperimentazione e per il tentativo di allontanarsi dalla definizione di stilista, a volte rifiutata e criticata da lui per il carattere commerciale che assume, che lo spinge a cercare termini alternativi per definirsi. Il suo atteggiamento politico lo ha reso un insider critico del sistema della moda italiana. Correggiari rappresenta un caso studio particolarmente significativo per indagare la relazione che l?industria della moda italiana del periodo in esame intrattiene con il campo del design. Il lavoro di Giorgio Correggiari viene qui analizzato attraverso l'archivio privato del designer che, per la prima volta, � fonte di una tesi dottorale. L?archivio � ci� che resta del pensiero e del lavoro di Correggiari e dimostra l'importanza del suo percorso nelle industrie italiane e internazionali della moda e del tessile nel periodo compreso tra il 1967 e il 1990.

Earnings management, IPO underpricing, and IPO underperformance

Subjects: Going public (Securities)
Price-earnings ratio

description: The first purpose of this study is to test whether earnings management can explain the IPO underpricing phenomenon. I hypothesize that IPO firms' initial offer prices are not initially discounted, but instead, are correctly set based on the firms' unmanaged earnings. This assumption is based on the belief that the initial offer prices are set by individuals less likely to suffer from the information asymmetry faced by the secondary market. I hypothesize that the common first day increases in IPO prices are not due to discounted initial offer prices, but are due to first day price inflation. I further hypothesize that this inflation is correlated with pre-IPO earnings management. The results show that there is a stronger relationship between initial offer prices and unmanaged earnings per share than between initial offer prices and reported earnings per share. The results also show that the relationship between initial after-market prices and reported earnings per share is stronger than the relationship between initial aftermarket prices and unmanaged earnings per share. These results provide support for my explanation of the IPO "underpricing" phenomenon. The second purpose of this study is to test the economic profitability of a zeroinvestment trading strategy based on knowledge of IPO underperformance and on estimates of pre-IPO earnings management. This trading strategy is implemented by forming two-firm portfolios that take short positions in the IPOs and long positions in control firms matched by industry and market capitalization. The economic profitability of trading on the knowledge of IPO underperformance is tested by calculating an average abnormal return over all of the two firm-portfolios. The economic profitability of trading on estimates of pre-IPO earnings management is then tested by separating the two-firm portfolios into four groups based on the estimated levels of pre-IPO earnings management and then calculating an average abnormal return over each group. The first test shows that significant positive abnormal returns can be earned trading on knowledge of IPO underperformance. However, the second test fails to show a link between the level of abnormal returns earned on this trading strategy and the level of pre-IPO earnings management.
