Synthesis and characterisation of novel molecular indacenodithiophene semiconductors for transistor applications
Creators: name: Hodsden, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: The use of organic semiconductors (OSCs) for electronic applications is of interest due to their myriad desirable properties, including being lightweight, flexible and low-cost. This work focuses primarily on the synthesis and characterisation of novel molecular OSCs for field-effect transistor (OFET) applications. While the majority of high-performing OFETs are comprised of p-type OSCs, the performance of n-type OSCs still lags behind. New n-type OSCs are eagerly sought for use in complementary circuits and organic photovoltaics (OPVs), where balanced charge transport between the n-type and p-type components is crucial. In Chapter 2, core fluorination is used as a tool to modify the n-type characteristics and device performance of an indacenodithiophene (IDT)-based molecular OSC – 2,7-dihexyl-IDT-di(C(CN)2). Fluorination is shown to effectively depress the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level as well as cause a surprising improvement in solubility. OFET devices fabricated via solution-processing of the OSC thin-film display high mobility in the absence of non-idealities, in addition to good retention of performance in ambient conditions. The following chapters (Chapters 3 – 5) then seek to modify this fluorinated core and investigate the effects on electronic, physical and device performance. In Chapter 3 we perform alkyl side-chain engineering, including modifications to the side-chain length, branching and regiochemistry. The nature and position of the alkyl side-chains are shown to have a significant impact on the physical properties – particularly processability and charge transfer characteristics – as well as device performance. In Chapter 4, the use of an alternative electron-withdrawing group (EWG) – N-cyanoimine – is explored in an attempt to avoid several issues associated with dicyanomethylene. Chapter 5 focuses on further modifications to the fluorinated core, including i) end-functionalisation via direct heteroarylation coupling and ii) substitution of the fluorine groups via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Finally, in Chapter 6 a route to a novel class of nonacyclic IDT-based ladder-type molecular is outlined. Electronic and physical properties are explored to examine the applicability of these materials as OSCs for OFETs.

Hybrid optical and magnetic manipulation of microrobots
Creators: name: Grammatikopoulou, Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Microrobotic systems have the potential to provide precise manipulation on cellular level for diagnostics, drug delivery and surgical interventions. These systems vary from tethered to untethered microrobots with sizes below a micrometer to a few microns. However, their main disadvantage is that they do not have the same capabilities in terms of degrees-of-freedom, sensing and control as macroscale robotic systems. In particular, their lack of on-board sensing for pose or force feedback, their control methods and interface for automated or manual user control are limited as well as their geometry has few degrees-of-freedom making three-dimensional manipulation more challenging. This PhD project is on the development of a micromanipulation framework that can be used for single cell analysis using the Optical Tweezers as well as a combination of optical trapping and magnetic actuation for recon gurable microassembly. The focus is on untethered microrobots with sizes up to a few tens of microns that can be used in enclosed environments for ex vivo and in vitro medical applications. The work presented investigates the following aspects of microrobots for single cell analysis: i) The microfabrication procedure and design considerations that are taken into account in order to fabricate components for three-dimensional micromanipulation and microassembly, ii) vision-based methods to provide 6-degree-offreedom position and orientation feedback which is essential for closed-loop control, iii) manual and shared control manipulation methodologies that take into account the user input for multiple microrobot or three-dimensional microstructure manipulation and iv) a methodology for recon gurable microassembly combining the Optical Tweezers with magnetic actuation into a hybrid method of actuation for microassembly.

description: The Space Radiation  represents a serious risk for  astronauts during space missions. The risk related to the space radiation exposure could involve acute and/or late effects. The Solar Cosmic Radiation  that consists of protons (≈98%) with a very wide spectrum in energy (up to several GeV), is the major source of exposure for the crew.  In this PhD work I present the results of the validation of the  electromagnetic and hadronic physical processes with the aim to contribute to the study of radiation protection for astronauts, in particular against the radiation due to the Solar Particle Events (SPE). The simulations were performed using Geant4 and MULASSIS, a module to the Spenvis software, with  protons of energy characteristic of SPE, on a slab of aluminum of mass thickness of 20 g / cm2.  The results obtained by the simulation were compared with PSTAR database of the NIST and experimental data measured during the experiment conducted at the NASA, Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL), Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA. Moreover after validation, other materials were tested, in particular were studied the trends of dose of these materials.
La ritrattistica di Achille Funi nei primi anni Venti e la tradizione figurativa della scuola ferrarese

description: Il saggio prende in esame la produzione ritrattistica di Achille Funi evidenziandone alcune caratteristiche radicate nella pittura di  alcuni maestri del Quattrocento ferrarese e reinterpretate dal pittore ferrarese alla luce dei presupposti stilistici insiti al rappel à l’ordre affermatosi all’indomani del primo conflitto mondiale.  Anche sulla scena artistica ferrarese si riscontra un interesse in tal senso corroborato anche da alcuni contributi teorici di personalità quali Mimì Quilici Buzzacchi, che prelude a futuri sviluppi consolidati nel corso dei tardi anni Venti e degli anni Trenta con il ritorno in auge del Mito di Ferrara propugnato dal regime e dagli intellettuali facenti capo al “Corriere Padano”.

The essay considers a group of portraits executed by Achille Funi during the early Twenties highlighting some of the characteristics rooted in the painting of the XV Century Ferrarese masters and reinterpreted by the Ferrarese artist in the light of the stylistic assumptions inherent to the return to order upheld in the aftermath of World War I. Ferrara’s  artistic scene was no exception, being corroborated by the theoretical contributions of critics and artists such as Mimì Quilici Buzzacchi, as a prelude to future developments that will culminate in the course of the late Twenties and the Thirties with the return in vogue of the Myth of Ferrara, advocated by the regime and intellectuals gathering around the "Corriere Padano".

Fabrication and characterization of bismuth-based environmental-friendly materials for solar cell application

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Lead-based perovskites, APbX3, achieved over 23 % of efficiency within only 7 years after first their usage in solar cells. Although these lead-based perovskites have rapidly achieved the high efficiency, they have two intrinsic problems to be addressed to be commercialised; toxicity and instability. To address the problems of lead at the same time, new lead-free and air-stable materials such as inorganic materials including bismuth iodide and bismuth- or antimony-based perovskites are emerging. However, the efficiency of the solar cells employing these new materials is relatively low below 5%. This thesis explores these new materials especially bismuth-based perovskite and bismuth iodide inorganic material for their photoelectronic application with improved device performance. An inorganic material, BiI3 has suitable optical properties for photovoltaic application but due to the short carrier lifetime (180-240ps), it needs structure optimisation to achieve higher device performance. For this, in-situ processed BiSI interlayer was employed to enhance charge-carrier extraction before their recombination and it was monitored by transient absorption spectroscopy. Fabricated solar cell devices showed improved device performance with the BiSI interlayer. Regarding bismuth or antimony-based perovskites, large binding energy, high defects and large bandgap are main issues to be addressed. Bismuth/antimony mixed perovskites were fabricated and investigated using a combined experimental and computational approach in a collaboration with the university of Bath. In the study, it was found that Sb mixing reduces the binding energy and it leads to higher solar cell efficiency. By employing 2D bismuth perovskite, improved PLQY obtained and it might come from the reduced defect density. In addition, nanocrystals (NCs) of bismuth or antimony-based perovskites were fabricated. These perovskites have high binding energy to overcome for the high-performance solar cell application, but this high binding energy can be helpful for high PLQY. Also, the reduced size to nanometre scale brings less defects in NCs and excitons are more prone to recombine radiatively. Therefore, NCs of Bi/Sb perovskite were fabricated to improve their optical property for opto-electronic application. The fabricated NCs were investigated by a range of characterisation techniques.

description: Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was hypothesized that stay-at-home policies would impact cases of violence, abuse, and neglect among children and youth due to increased familial stressors. Objective: We examined the effect of the implementation of pandemic policies on violence-related emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations among youth. Participants: Violence-related ED visits and hospitalizations among children and youth ages 0–19 in Ontario, Canada were obtained from April 2015 until the most recent available date, March 31, 2022. Methods: We used an interrupted time series design to model the change in monthly violence-related ED visits and hospitalizations before and during the pandemic. We used negative binomial models to estimate the immediate effect of the policy and the change in the number of injuries during the pandemic. Results: After adjusting for seasonality and population changes over our study period, we observed a 56% decrease in violence-related ED visits (RR: 0.44, 95%CI: 0.38, 0.50) and a 35% decrease in hospitalizations (RR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.52, 0.82) immediately after the implementation of the pandemic policy, followed by moderate increasing trends. We observed no difference in the effect of the pandemic policies on the rate of violence-related ED visits and hospitalizations by sex, age or material deprivation; however, males aged 10–19 years and those in higher quintiles of material deprivation had higher average rates of injuries compared to females, those in younger age groups and lower quintiles of deprivation over the study period. Conclusions: We observed an abrupt decrease in the rate of violence-related ED visits and hospitalizations immediately after the onset of pandemic policies in Ontario. Following this, violence-related injuries increased, approaching pre-pandemic levels.

description: Il lavoro illustra un’indagine sui musei di Puglia, come conseguenza delle lacune normative e conoscitive esistenti sul tema e della recente estensione del fenomeno a livello locale.  Ci si interroga in particolare se tutte le realtà promosse come istituti museali siano dei musei secondo gli standard prevalentemente conosciuti ed applicati. In tale direzione, il lavoro, articolato in quattro paragrafi, approfondisce dapprima il significato del concetto di museo, a livello normativo e dottrinale, contrapposto a quello di raccolta o collezione. Successivamente, dopo una breve descrizione sulle origini, normativa regionale e stato dell’arte dei musei di Puglia, espone il modello di analisi sviluppato per distinguere i “veri” musei dalle “semplici” raccolte o collezione. In conclusione riporta i risultati conseguiti dall’analisi di 85 musei pugliesi ed alcune osservazioni sullo scenario emerso e sul modello di analisi sviluppato.

This paper has, as starting point, a survey about museums of Puglia. The main question is if all these museum institutions are real museums or not. With this purpose, this research deepens two main aspects. The first one is to understand the meaning of the museum concept, focusing on normative and doctrinal levels, and the differences between a museum institution and a collection. Then, after a brief description about the museum origins, the regional normative, and the museums of Puglia state of the art, the paper presents the analysis model developed in order to distinguish between “real” museums and “mere” collections. The conclusion of this research shows the analysis results of 85 museums of Puglia and some observations based on the emerging context and the analysis model.

Digital learning for breaking bad news in clinical training and practice
Creators: name: Soosaipillai, Gehan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Introduction Good communication and the ability to break bad news are essential skills for clinicians but are underemphasised in training programmes. In recent years, digital learning has come to the forefront in healthcare education. However, the evidence for its use in breaking bad new (BBN) training is limited. This thesis explores clinicians’ digital learning needs, highlights pre-existing curricular requirements for BBN training, and examines how this translates into clinical practice. Methods Digital learning needs and curricular requirements for BBN training were established through (i) a systematic review and narrative synthesis of the literature, (ii) a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews exploring clinicians’ perceptions, and (iii) a content analysis of UK postgraduate medical and nursing curricula. From this, a novel digital learning framework for BBN training was presented and used to evaluate pre-existing digital learning resources (DLRs). The acceptability of one DLR and its impact on confidence in BBN was tested with clinicians in a pre-post mixed-methods pilot study. Results Three digital learning needs were identified from the narrative synthesis of a heterogenous group of 26 studies, including positioning the learner as an active participant in a safe digital environment. Five learning needs were extracted from interviews with doctors (n=16) and nurses (n=16), including accessibility and catering to learning preferences. Thirty-one pre-existing curriculum requirements were identified from the content analysis of curricula. The learning needs and curriculum requirements were collated to form a digital learning framework. In the pilot study, a mobile learning application (VitalTips) proved to enable skills acquisition and improve confidence in BBN, as it was user-friendly, emulated clinical practice, and highlighted challenges for learning in the workplace. Conclusions The research presented in this thesis showcases the requirements for and effectiveness of digital learning for BBN training. Though it may not replace learning through clinical practice, digital learning can be a powerful adjunct. As digital learning develops, there will be exciting future advancements in this field of education.

description: State-of-the-art models for keyphrase generation require large amounts of training data to achieve good performance. However, obtaining keyphrase-labeled documents can be challenging and costly. To address this issue, we present a self-compositional data augmentation method. More specifically, we measure the relatedness of training documents based on their shared keyphrases, and combine similar documents to generate synthetic samples. The advantage of our method lies in its ability to create additional training samples that keep domain coherence, without relying on external data or resources. Our results on multiple datasets spanning three different domains, demonstrate that our method consistently improves keyphrase generation. A qualitative analysis of the generated keyphrases for the Computer Science domain confirms this improvement towards their representativity property.

Dalla contabilità finanziaria ai risultati economico-patrimoniali nei musei pubblici: una proposta metodologica
Creators: name: Gori, Elena

Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2012

description: Secondo il New Public Management, tutti i settori della pubblica amministrazione devono essere in grado di misurare le loro performance secondo una visione multi-dimensionale. I musei pubblici – statali, civici, universitari, ecc. – sono spesso una parte di una pubblica amministrazione, perciò i loro dati contabili e di bilancio sono “confusi” con quelli dell’ente proprietario. Questo produce un doppio effetto negativo. Da un lato, è arduo quantificare esattamente le risorse pubbliche trasferite al museo e, dall’altro, è impossibile misurare direttamente le attività e le performance economiche, patrimoniali e finanziarie. La ricerca, di natura esplorativa, propone una metodologia per ovviare ad entrambi questi inconvenienti. Il metodo di ricerca è prevalentemente deduttivo. L’articolo, dopo un’analisi delle principali teorie e tecniche di misurazionedelle performance e la costruzione diun modello teorico, termina con un’analisi critica del modello.

According to New Public Management’s principles, all sectors of public administrationmust check their annual performance from multiple perspectives. Public museums – state, municipal, or university museums to give just a few examples – are often part of the administrative and accounting data and are therefore often mixed up with the museum’s owner. The result is doubly negative. On the one hand, it is extremely difficult to quantify the public resources transferred to the museum. On the other hand, it is impossible to keep track of its annual economic, financial and assets performance. The research is exploratory and suggests a methodology attempting to solve both problems. The research method is mainly deductive. The paper begins with an analysis of the mainstream theories and techniques for performance measurement, then it proposes a theoretical model and finally a critical analysis of that model.

description: Ricordando Cavalcaselle nel 1907 a Legnago, Adolfo Venturi indicava nel modello del “semplice catalogo” la strada che avrebbe dovuto percorrere la storia dell’arte. A quell’indicazione si conformò l’editoria d’arte del primo trentennio del Novecento, sia quella accademica che quella di divulgazione, immettendo sul mercato numerose tipologie di monografie artistiche a basso costo. Interpreti ne furono da Bergamo a Torino, Firenze e Roma le collane dei Maestri dell’arte o L’arte per tutti, dirette e curate da Corrado Ricci, Francesco Sapori, gli allievi di Venturi, ma anche la casa editrice romana fondata da Armando Ferri e Mario Recchi che diede vita alla collana della Biblioteca di storia dell’arte. La presenza di Ferri e Recchi, frequentatori con Roberto Longhi della “terza saletta” del romano Caffè Aragno, aiuta a comprendere il ricco e mosso panorama dell’editoria di dispense illustrate di primo Novecento.

In the Obituary of Cavalcaselle declaimed in 1907 at Legnago, Adolfo Venturi focuses on the form of catalog as the road of the new art publishing of the Twentieth Century. This reflection about the leadership of biographies of artists oriented the further essays of History of art; both the academics issues and the educational and popular books, with the series of monthly and cheap biographies of artists. From the collection of illustrated monographs published by the Istituto Italiano di Arti Grafiche – I grandi Maestri del colore –, until the series of L’Arte per tutti of the roman Istituto Luce, the leaders of these editorials projects were Corrado Ricci, Francesco Sapori, the disciples of Venturi but also a little roman house publishing directed by Armando Ferri and Mario Recchi with the series of Biblioteca d’arte illustrata. Recchi, and especially Ferri, playgoers of the “terza saletta” of the Caffé Aragno at Rome, frequented by Roberto Longhi, enliven the italian art publishing and disclosing its cultural map played by different intellectuals profiles.

description: Negli ultimi anni, numerosi studiosi hanno messo in evidenza come la cultura sia importante non solamente in quanto costituisce un fondamentale valore di civiltà, ma anche perché rappresenta una risorsa fondamentale per una crescita economica sostenibile. In questo articolo, nella prima parte, cercheremo pertanto di analizzare lo stato attuale della cultura in Europa attraverso i principali indicatori, prestando particolare attenzione alle correlazioni esistenti tra cultura, innovazione e competitività dei Paesi.  La seconda parte affronterà il ruolo strategico della cultura per lo sviluppo di un territorio e attraverso l'analisi di due casi si analizzerano le iniziative culture-driven implementate da Vienna e Barcellona, ​​che negli ultimi anni hanno fatto notevoli investimenti in campo culturale. Lo studio ha permesso di individuare quattro fattori comuni che hanno portato al successo dei piani strategici di rinnovamento delle due città: il sostegno politico e finanziario di lungo periodo da parte degli stakeholders; una chiara attribuzione dei ruoli tra gli stakeholders; un'elevata autonomia nella gestione dei budget e la presenza di manager con esperienze e network internazionali.

In recent years, many scholars have pointed out that culture is important not only because it is a fundamental value of civilization, but also because it represents a key resource for sustainable economic growth. In this article, in the first part, we will analyze the current state of culture in Europe through the main indicators, paying particular attention to the relationships between culture, innovation and competitiveness of countries. The second part will address the strategic role of culture in the development of a territory and through the analysis of two cases we analyze the culture-driven initiatives implemented by Vienna and Barcelona which in recent years have made substantial investment in the cultural field. The study has made it possible to pinpoint four common factors that have led to the success of two strategic city renewal plans: the political and financial support from stakeholders, a clear allocation of roles between the stakeholders, a high degree of autonomy in the management of budgets and the presence of managers with international experience and network.

description: Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is decreasing in individuals >50 years due to organised screening but has increased for younger individuals. We characterized symptoms and their timing before diagnosis in young individuals. Methods: We identified all patients diagnosed with CRC between 1990–2017 in British Columbia, Canada. Individuals 50 (n = 2570, LoCRC) underwent chart review to identify CRC related symptoms at diagnosis and determine time from symptom onset to diagnosis. Results: Across all stages of CRC, EoCRC presented with significantly more symptoms than LoCRC (Stage 1 mean ± SD: 1.3 ± 0.9 vs. 0.7 ± 0.9, p = 0.0008; Stage 4: 3.3 ± 1.5 vs. 2.3 ± 1.7, p < 0.0001). Greater symptom burden at diagnosis was associated with worse survival in both EoCRC (p < 0.0001) and LoCRC (p < 0.0001). When controlling for cancer stage, both age (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.8–1.0, p = 0.008) and increasing symptom number were independently associated with worse survival in multivariate models. Conclusions: Patients with EoCRC present with a greater number of symptoms of longer duration than LoCRC; however, time from patient reported symptom onset was not associated with worse outcomes.

description: Il contributo presenta gli esiti della ricerca condotta da Enrico Beretta e Andrea Migliardi sulle interdipendenze tra il settore culturale italiano e il sistema produttivo del Paese; oggetto di analisi sono, in particolare, le attività culturali a contenuto non industriale – arti visive, spettacolo dal vivo, patrimonio artistico-culturale. Partendo dal presupposto che tali risorse possono in vari modi concorrere allo sviluppo, gli Autori propongono una analisi delle dimensioni e caratteristiche del settore da un punto di vista economico e gestionale-amministrativo. Le considerazioni avanzate in merito allo sfruttamento di tale risorsa e gli interventi di policy proposti per una sua corretta valorizzazione offrono un significativo contributo sotto il profilo teorico-conoscitivo e applicativo al dibattito, estremamente attuale, sul valore e le potenzialità di sviluppo, anche economico, del settore.

The paper presents the output of the research conducted by Enrico Beretta and Andrea Migliardi on the connections between the Italian cultural sector and the Country’s economy; the study focuses, in particular, on non industrial cultural activities which include the visual and performing arts and the heritage. Acknowledging their contribution to development, the Authors analyse the dimensions and characteristics of the sector both from an economic and administrative/managerial perspective. Their remarks on the current level of exploitation of such resource and the suggested policy recommendations for its enhancement represent a valuable contribution to the current debate on the value and development potentials of the sector.

Design and development of safety systems for high frequency inductive power transfer

description: As wireless charging is gaining its popularity among consumer electronics, e.g., phones, smart wearables, electric toothbrushes, etc., there has been a trend of expanding this technology into a wider range of applications e.g. drones, robots, electric vehicles etc.. To achieve this, both the charging power and range need to be increased. This thesis discusses the limitations of widely used kHz inductive power transfer systems and emphasises the challenge of deploying into a wider range of applications. High-frequency inductive power transfer (HF-IPT) systems are then discussed with two real-world applications presented to showcase HF-IPT’s potential over kHz IPT systems. Some of the benefits of the HF-IPT, e.g., the large air gap and tolerance to misalignment, could increase the chances for live or other unintended objects to be coupled into the wireless charging system, which could cause safety hazards if the system was not designed carefully. This thesis, therefore, focuses on the safety systems design and development for HF-IPT systems. A number of existing and potential foreign and live object detection methods (FOD/LOD) including a new FOD/LOD method based on reflected impedance are introduced. The proposed method can operate without additional sensors, and without a communication link between IPT transmitter and receiver. A detection accuracy of 95% is achieved by implementing such FOD/LOD method. In addition, a FOD/LOD technique based on a mmWave radar sensor is also introduced. Differing from typical radar applications, the proposed method leverages machine learning techniques to perform object recognition to reduce the false detection rate. The developed FOD/LOD system could classify six different charging scenarios with an average accuracy of 96%. For applications that do not involve any live or unintended objects, this thesis also introduces a localisation technique based on the IPT system to help guide a drone or robot to a specific location e.g. a wireless charging point. Such a system was designed to reduce the risk of charging by minimising human’s involvement.

The Relationship between Mean Length at Maturity and Maximum Length in Coral Reef Fish
Creators: name: Chu, Elaine

description: This article proposes a mechanism that triggers first maturation and spawning in coral reef (bony) fish, which allows for predicting their length at first maturity. Thus, mean lengths at first maturity (Lm) and the corresponding maximum lengths (Lmax) in 207 populations of 131 species of coral reef fish were assembled and used to test the hypotheses that (a) there is, in coral reef fish, a single value of a size-related parameter acting as a trigger for their maturation and eventual spawning, and (b) that this single value is statistically the same as that published previously for other bony fish. The results, based on the assembled Lm and Lmax data and on estimates of the parameter D, which link the length of fish with the relative surface of their gills, covered 44 families and Lmax values ranging from 1.8 to 181.6 cm and confirmed that the threshold in (a) exists. Also, we assessed (in b) that this threshold value, i.e., LmaxD/LmD = 1.35 (±0.02), is not statistically different from similar estimates for other groups of teleosts, notably semelparous salmonids, cichlids, sturgeons and Chinese and Turkish freshwater and marine fish. One implication is that given ocean warming and deoxygenation, coral reef fish will not only be smaller than they currently are, but also mature and spawn at smaller sizes, and thus produce fewer, smaller eggs.

description: Il saggio indaga, sotto il profilo storiografico, i tratti culturali della “Mostra degli Archivi”, organizzata a Macerata nel 1905 nell’ambito della “Esposizione regionale marchigiana”. La mostra fu un evento innovativo, teso a comunicare il ricco patrimonio documentario custodito nei numerosi e dispersi archivi storici comunali. L’obiettivo della mostra fu di valorizzare un patrimonio ancora in gran parte sconosciuto e negletto, dando un impulso al riordinamento delle carte e all’accessibilità degli archivi. Al tempo stesso, si volle ridefinire l’identità culturale delle Marche: non più terra di municipalismi, non più area defilata nella geografia dell’Italia unita, ma una regione orgogliosa della sua storia e del proprio patrimonio. Animatore della mostra fu uno studioso boemo, Lodovico Zdekauer, il cui profilo culturale è indagato per comprendere appieno le ragioni e gli obiettivi del progetto. La mostra fu apprezzata fuori delle Marche e fu proposta a modello per l’intera nazione.

This essay inquires, from an historiographical point of view, into the cultural features of  the “Archives Exibition”, held in Macerata in 1905, as part of  the “ Marche Regional exhibition”. The exhibition - a truly innovative event – was designed to make known the wealth of records heritage kept in the many but dispersed municipal historical archives. The exhibition aimed at valuing a still largely unknown and neglected heritage, boosting documents reorganization and assuring accessibility to archives. At the same time, the exhibition redefined the cultural identity of Marche: no longer a land of parochialism, no longer a low-profile land in a unified Italy, but a region proud of its past and its heritage. The exhibition was fostered by a Bohemian scholar, Lodovico Zdekauer, whose cultural profile is searched to fully understand the exhibition aims. The cultural event was highly appreciated outside the Marche region and proposed as a model to the whole country.
