description: Long-term trends of median and 90th percentile summer afternoon O3 concentrations were examined at 549 sites across the United States for the 1980–1995 period. Daily temperature data were used to account for the variability in O3 concentrations associated with temperature. Both before and after segregating the O3 data by temperature, trends were insignificant over most of the continental United States. No region of the United States experienced a significant increase in O3 concentrations during the 1980–1995 period. Decreasing trends were predominantly clustered in the three largest metropolitan areas: New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. In these areas, additional sites with trends were identified in the temperature-segregated analysis. Correlation of trends with local anthropogenic emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) indicates a greater frequency of decreasing trends for urban sites with high emission. National emission inventories for the United States indicate that anthropogenic VOC emissions decreased by 12% over the 1980–1995 period while NOx emissions remained constant. The observed O3 trends are consistent with the view that summertime O3 production over the United States is NOx-limited except in the largest metropolitan areas where it is partly VOC-limited.

description: We present the studies of structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of bulk Cd$_{1\textrm{-}x}$Mn$_{x}$GeAs$_{2}$ crystals with low Mn content, $x$, varying from 0 to 0.037. The studied samples have excellent crystallographic quality indicated by the presence of diffraction patterns never before observed experimentally for this compound. The electrical transport in our samples is dominated by thermal activation of conducting holes from the impurity states to the valence band with activation energy of about 200$\;$meV. The defect states acting as ionic scattering centers with concentration in the range from 6 to 15$\times$10$^{17}$$\;$cm$^{-3}$ are observed. The effective Mn content in our samples, $\bar{x}_θ$, determined from fit of the susceptibility data to the Curie-Weiss law, is very close to the average chemical content, $x$. It indicates that the Mn ions are distributed randomly, substituting the Cd sites in the host CdGeAs$_{2}$ lattice. We observe a negative Curie-Weiss temperature, $|θ|$$\,$$\leq$$\,$3.1$\;$K, increasing as a function of $x$. This indicates the significance of the short-range interactions between the Mn ions.

description: Seismic attenuation measurements provide a powerful tool for sampling mantle properties. Laboratory experiments provide calibrations at seismic frequencies and mantle temperatures for dry melt-free rocks, but require ∼10²−10³ extrapolations in grain size to mantle conditions; also, the effects of water and melt are not well understood. At the same time, body wave attenuation measured from dense broadband arrays provides reliable estimates of shear wave attenuation (Q_S⁻¹), affording an opportunity for calibration. We reanalyze seismic data sets that sample arc and back-arc mantle in Central America, the Marianas, and the Lau Basin, confirming very high attenuation (Q_S ∼ 25–80) at 1 Hz and depths of 50–100 km. At each of these sites, independent petrological studies constrain the temperature and water content where basaltic magmas last equilibrated with the mantle, 1300–1450°C. The Q_S measurements correlate inversely with the petrologically inferred temperatures, as expected. However, dry attenuation models predict Q_S too high by a factor of 1.5–5. Modifying models to include effects of H₂O and rheology-dependent grain size shows that the effects of water-enhanced dissipation and water-enhanced grain growth nearly cancel, so H₂O effects are modest. Therefore, high H₂O in the arc source region cannot explain the low Q_S, nor in the back arc where lavas show modest water content. Most likely, the high attenuation reflects the presence of melt, and some models of melt effects come close to reproducing observations. Overall, body wave Q_S can be reconciled with petrologic and laboratory inferences of mantle conditions if melt has a strong influence beneath arcs and back arcs.

description: We consider the analytic solutions of massive (bi)gravity which can be written in a simple form using advanced Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates. We analyse the stability of these solutions against radial perturbations. First we recover the previously obtained result on the instability of the bidiagonal bi-Schwarzschild solutions. In the non-bidiagonal case (which contains, in particular, the Schwarzschild solution with Minkowski fiducial metric) we show that generically there are physical spherically symmetric perturbations, but no unstable modes.

THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN CDK1/CLBS AND PP2A/CDC55 IN ADAPTATION TO THE SPINDLE ASSEMBLY CHECKPOINT (SAC)
Creators: name: VERNIERI, CLAUDIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Abstract The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) monitors that all sister chromatids are correctly attached to microtubules of the mitotic spindle during prometaphase. The correct attachment is known as biorientation, and it is the prerequisite for proper partitioning of the duplicated DNA from the mother to the two daughter cells. Until the last kinetochores are bioriented, the SAC arrests progression into anaphase by inhibiting the Anaphase Promoting Complex or Cyclosome (APC/C) bound to its coactivator Cdc20, therefore stabilizing the cohesin rings that hold pairs of sister chromatids together. When the SAC is continuously activated, cells remain arrested in prometaphase for some hours, but not indefinitely; even if the checkpoint is not satisfied, eventually cells separate the duplicated DNA material and progress into anaphase. This phenomenon is known as adaptation to the SAC and is poorly understood from the molecular viewpoint. By using budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) as a model organism, in this work I show that adaptation to the SAC requires phosphorylation of the APC/C, which is stimulated by the Cyclin dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) bound to its mitotic regulatory subunit, Clb2, and is opposed by the phosphatase PP2ACdc55. I propose that PP2ACdc55 and the APC/C are implicated in a double negative feedback loop of reciprocal inhibition, which regulates transition into anaphase in adapting cells: when accumulating Clb2 provides sufficient Cdk1:Clb2 activity to allow initial activation of APC/CCdc20, the antagonist of the APC/C, PP2ACdc55, starts to be inhibited. This strongly reinforces APC/CCdc20, and leads to a rapid and irreversible transition into anaphase.

description: Gli psicologi scolastici sono presenti nei sistemi educativi di diverse nazioni a livello mondiale, tuttavia esistono notevoli differenze da paese a paese. In Italia, gli psicologi operano nel contesto scolastico dal 1970, in generale come consulenti a contratto. Recenti indagini (Matteucci & Farrell, 2018) hanno rilevato una presenza considerevole di psicologi che lavorano nelle scuole e per le scuole, realizzando prevalentemente attività di consulenza e formazione. Malgrado ciò, le conoscenze rispetto a tale ambito professionale e alle caratteristiche dell'attività degli psicologi che lavorano nelle scuole sono ancora limitate.. Il presente report illustra i principali risultati di un'indagine realizzata nel 2019 che intendeva approfondire la conoscenza delle pratiche professionali e delle principali sfide della professione di "psicologo scolastico".

description: Containing the spreading of crime is a major challenge for society. Yet, since thousands of years, no effective strategy has been found to overcome crime. To the contrary, empirical evidence shows that crime is recurrent, a fact that is not captured well by rational choice theories of crime. According to these, strong enough punishment should prevent crime from happening. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between crime and punishment, we consider that the latter requires prior discovery of illicit behavior and study a spatial version of the inspection game. Simulations reveal the spontaneous emergence of cyclic dominance between ''criminals'', ''inspectors'', and ''ordinary people'' as a consequence of spatial interactions. Such cycles dominate the evolutionary process, in particular when the temptation to commit crime or the cost of inspection are low or moderate. Yet, there are also critical parameter values beyond which cycles cease to exist and the population is dominated either by a stable mixture of criminals and inspectors or one of these two strategies alone. Both continuous and discontinuous phase transitions to different final states are possible, indicating that successful strategies to contain crime can be very much counter-intuitive and complex. Our results demonstrate that spatial interactions are crucial for the evolutionary outcome of the inspection game, and they also reveal why criminal behavior is likely to be recurrent rather than evolving towards an equilibrium with monotonous parameter dependencies.

The collision system and energy dependence of these phenomena are examined, wherever possible and most abundantly for the ridge correlations. Their possible theoretical interpretations and what might be learned about the properties of the collision systems from theoretical comparisons are discussed. Prospective future measurements and theoretical undertakings are outlined that might help further the understanding of the physics mechanisms underlying these phenomena.

description: We describe and evaluate atmospheric chemistry in the newly developed Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory chemistry-climate model (GFDL AM3) and apply it to investigate the net impact of preindustrial (PI) to present (PD) changes in short-lived pollutant emissions (ozone precursors, sulfur dioxide, and carbonaceous aerosols) and methane concentration on atmospheric composition and climate forcing. The inclusion of online troposphere-stratosphere interactions, gas-aerosol chemistry, and aerosol-cloud interactions (including direct and indirect aerosol radiative effects) in AM3 enables a more complete representation of interactions among short-lived species, and thus their net climate impact, than was considered in previous climate assessments. The base AM3 simulation, driven with observed sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice cover (SIC) over the period 1981–2007, generally reproduces the observed mean magnitude, spatial distribution, and seasonal cycle of tropospheric ozone and carbon monoxide. The global mean aerosol optical depth in our base simulation is within 5% of satellite measurements over the 1982–2006 time period. We conduct a pair of simulations in which only the short-lived pollutant emissions and methane concentrations are changed from PI (1860) to PD (2000) levels (i.e., SST, SIC, greenhouse gases, and ozone-depleting substances are held at PD levels). From the PI to PD, we find that changes in short-lived pollutant emissions and methane have caused the tropospheric ozone burden to increase by 39% and the global burdens of sulfate, black carbon, and organic carbon to increase by factors of 3, 2.4, and 1.4, respectively. Tropospheric hydroxyl concentration decreases by 7%, showing that increases in OH sinks (methane, carbon monoxide, nonmethane volatile organic compounds, and sulfur dioxide) dominate over sources (ozone and nitrogen oxides) in the model. Combined changes in tropospheric ozone and aerosols cause a net negative top-of-the-atmosphere radiative forcing perturbation (−1.05 W m−2) indicating that the negative forcing (direct plus indirect) from aerosol changes dominates over the positive forcing due to ozone increases, thus masking nearly half of the PI to PD positive forcing from long-lived greenhouse gases globally, consistent with other current generation chemistry-climate models.

description: The genus Muricea, a highly speciose gorgonian coral group in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP), is commonly found on shallow rocky reefs including Machalilla National Park (MNP), El Pelado Marine Reserve (REMAPE) and Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR). Here, we report the presence of M. hebes, M. echinata and M. robusta, which have been not previously reported at the REMAPE area and along the Ecuadorian region. These new records for Muricea hebes (Verril, 1864) in Ecuador broaden the known geographical distribution of these species across the tempered waters of California and Mexico, and the Tropical Eastern Pacific, belonging to Panama and Ecuador. Muricea robusta (Verril, 1864) was previously recorded in Mexico and Colombia, whereas M. echinata (Verril, 1866) was only found in Panama. This report contributes to increasing the knowledge of marine diversity in Ecuador, and broadens the previously recorded geographic distribution of the genus Muricea throughout the TEP.

description: The published literature debates the extent to which naturally occurring stratospheric ozone intrusions reach the surface and contribute to exceedances of the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone (75 ppbv implemented in 2008). Analysis of ozonesondes, lidar, and surface measurements over the western U.S. from April to June 2010 show that a global high-resolution (∼50 × 50 km2) chemistry-climate model (GFDL AM3) captures the observed layered features and sharp ozone gradients of deep stratospheric intrusions, representing a major improvement over previous chemical transport models. Thirteen intrusions enhanced total daily maximum 8-h average (MDA8) ozone to ∼70–86 ppbv at surface sites. With a stratospheric ozone tracer defined relative to a dynamically varying tropopause, we find that stratospheric intrusions can episodically increase surface MDA8 ozone by 20–40 ppbv (all model estimates are bias corrected), including on days when observed ozone exceeds the NAAQS threshold. These stratospheric intrusions elevated background ozone concentrations (estimated by turning off North American anthropogenic emissions in the model) to MDA8 values of 60–75 ppbv. At high-elevation western U.S. sites, the 25th–75th percentile of the stratospheric contribution is 15–25 ppbv when observed MDA8 ozone is 60–70 ppbv, and increases to ∼17–40 ppbv for the 70–85 ppbv range. These estimates, up to 2–3 times greater than previously reported, indicate a major role for stratospheric intrusions in contributing to springtime high-O3events over the high-altitude western U.S., posing a challenge for staying below the ozone NAAQS threshold, particularly if a value in the 60–70 ppbv range were to be adopted.

description: This thesis is devoted to the ab initio calculation of ground state and excited state properties of different systems within the density functional theory and the time dependent density functional theory.From the numerical point of view we implemented an original method in a plane waves code devoted to calculate the independent particle response function.Moreover, we generalized the same code to the spin degree of freedom in order to study the magnetic properties of realistic condensed matter systems.We studied the reflectance anisotropy spectra and the energy loss spectraof the clean and oxidized surface, and we performed the analysis of the originof the main spectral features.Thanks to the comparison between experimental and theoretical REEL spectra,we could roule out the p(2x1) reconstruction for this surfcace.Moreover, we evidenced the problem of the correct description of the excitation spectra for open shell systems within the TDDFT framework, in thecase of the simple BeH molecule.In the second part of the thesis, we presented the study of the opticalproperties of magnetic systems such as FeS2, CoS2 or NiS2, interesting materialsfor possible technological applications in the growing field of spintronics.Within this context we calculated the ground state properties and the opticalcondictivity of BCC bulk iron, for which we found a nice agreement withavailable experimental data.

description: Decadal variability of the East African precipitation during the season of March–May (long rains) is examined and the performance of a series of models in simulating the observed features is assessed. Observational results show that the drying trend of the long rains is associated with decadal natural variability associated with sea surface temperature (SST) variations over the Pacific Ocean. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF), linear regression, and composite analyses all show the spatial pattern of the associated SST field to be La Niña like. The SST-forced International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) forecast models are able to capture the East African precipitation climatology, the decadal variability of the long rains, and the associated SST anomaly pattern but are not consistent with observations from the 1970s. The multimodel mean of the SST-forced models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) experiment captures the climatology and the drying trend in recent decades. The fully coupled models from the CMIP5 historical experiment, however, have systematic errors in simulating the East African precipitation climatology by underestimating the long rains while overestimating the short rains. The multimodel mean of the historical simulations of the long rains anomalies, which is the best estimate of the radiatively forced change, shows a weak wetting trend associated with anthropogenic forcing. The SST anomaly pattern associated with the long rains has large discrepancies with the observations. The results herein suggest caution in projections of East African precipitation from CMIP5 or the relationship between the East African precipitation and the SST spatial pattern found in paleoclimate studies with coupled climate models.
title: Development of Baseline Water Quality Stormwater Detention Pond Model for Chesapeake Bay Catchments
Creators: name: Musico, William J.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: A stormwater detention pond model, EEMD (Environmentally Economic Management Design), was developed using VisualBasic to facilitate the design of extended detention basins. A detention basin is a design such that a site's stormwater runoff would meet certain environmental impact requirements. To ensure these environmental requirements are meet the Commonwealth of Virginia subscribes to the procedures outlined by the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department (CBLAD).

The purpose of the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department (CBLAD) Calculation Procedures is to ensure that the development of constructed areas do not further exacerbate current problems of stormwater-induced eutrophication and downstream flooding. The methodology is based on the post development conditions that will not generate greater peak flows and will result in a 10% overall reduction of total phosphorous. Currently, several wellknown models can develop hydrographs and pollutographs that accurately model the response of a given watershed and stormwater management system to any rainfall event. However, the conventional method of determining pond size to achieve the desired peak flow reduction and pollutant removal is not a deterministic procedure.

A method of quickly and accurately determining the required size of stormwater easements was developed using optimization techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of alternate stormwater collection and treatment systems. Predevelopment conditions are modeled first to

estimate the peak flows and subsequent pollutants generation that can used as a "baseline" for post development plan. EEMD (Environmentally Economic Management Design), a computer application written for this study, designs ponds for peak flow reduction and detention time given the most basic data such as: inflow hydrograph and maximum allowable pond depth. The design can be optimized for either cost minimization or smallest-possible pond size.

Early determination of stormwater easements facilitates the decision-making processes during the planning and development phase of a project. Though EEMD was specifically written to aid the planning process of developments located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, its methods are applicable to any pond design where detention time and peak flow reduction are the determining parameters.

description: We study the collective motion of confined spherical microswimmers such as active colloids which we model by so-called squirmers. To simulate hydrodynamic flow fields including thermal noise, we use the method of multi-particle collision dynamics. We demonstrate that hydrodynamic near fields acting between squirmers as well as squirmers and bounding walls crucially determine their collective motion. In particular, with increasing density we observe a clear phase separation into a gas-like and cluster phase for neutral squirmers whereas strong pushers and pullers more gradually approach the hexagonal cluster state.
MAPPING QTL IN THE BROWN SWISS BREED FOR MILK QUALITY TRAITS
Creators: name: SCHIAVINI, FAUSTA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Mastitis is a multifactorial infectious disease, mainly caused by bacteria that infect the mammary gland. It is one of the major diseases in dairy ruminants, with respect to industry and public concern, economic impact, and animal welfare. The high genetic correlation of Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and bacterial infection described in many studies and the availability in most countries of SCC data routinely recorded within the milk recoding system, have lead the suggestion to use SCC in selection against udder infection and to incorporate selection for lower SCC content in the overall selection indexes for dairy cattle. Objective of this study is to map QTL for SCC in the Italian Brown Swiss breed population using a selective DNA pooling design with Single Marker Mapping (SMM) and Multi Marker Mapping analysis (MMM). This will be the first complete SCC QTL mapping in this population and will serve as base information for further confirmation studies using dense marker chip design.

description: Con l'aumento dell'aspettativa di vita, stiamo assistendo a un continuo invecchiamento della popolazione e, di conseguenza, a un aumento delle patologie legate all'et�. Anche per questo motivo, i costi della sanit� e della riabilitazione sono in continuo aumento, costringendo le strutture ospedaliere a ridurre la durata della degenza, precludendo ai pazienti la possibilit� di ricevere cure adeguate e potenzialmente perdendo le capacit� motorie acquisite fino a quel momento. Per cercare di mitigare questo problema, la riabilitazione domiciliare autonoma ha recentemente iniziato a diffondersi, permettendo ai pazienti di esercitarsi in modo indipendente, riducendo il carico di lavoro e i costi per ospedali e cliniche. Tuttavia, a causa dell'assenza del terapeuta, sorgono diverse questioni relative all'efficacia della riabilitazione e alla sicurezza del paziente. Lo scopo di questa ricerca � di esplorare gli aspetti critici legati alla riabilitazione autonoma e alle piattaforme recentemente proposte in letteratura, e di sviluppare un sistema esaustivo che permetta ai pazienti di sottoporsi alla riabilitazione in modo sicuro ed efficace in piena autonomia. Nel progetto qui presentato, particolare attenzione � stata posta alla motivazione a lungo termine del paziente, con la realizzazione di exer-games, ossia esercizio fisico attraverso i videogiochi, e altre tecniche di game design, come l'adattamento dinamico della difficolt�. E' disponibile anche una piattaforma dedicata ai terapisti, che fornisce loro tutti gli strumenti necessari per gestire i pazienti, come la possibilit� di programmare esercizi personalizzati e di rivedere gli esercizi eseguiti. Abbiamo inoltre esplorato come le nuove tecnologie di realt� mista possano essere utilizzate in riabilitazione e integrate nelle piattaforme di riabilitazione domiciliare. Concludiamo con i risultati preliminari di due studi pilota ai quali hanno partecipato 13 pazienti affetti da sclerosi multipla e 24 anziani sani. Questi test hanno dimostrato la bont� e l'usabilit� della piattaforma, ma anche la necessit� di ulteriori studi con un numero maggiore di pazienti per convalidare le soluzioni proposte e la loro efficacia a lungo termine.

description: According to Mitchell (1982), motivation refers to 'psychological processes that cause the arousal, direction and persistence of voluntary actions that are goal directed' (Mitchell 1982, p. 81). Thus, motivation is an individual process which might be influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors to the individuals. The former refers to the external factors experienced which make us self-determined to accomplish a certain task (for example, rewards such as money or a work promotion). The latter refers to the self-interest and enjoyment that a person experiences from doing an activity (for example, voluntary work).

description: The ubiquitous aquaporin channels are able to conduct water across cell membranes, combining the seemingly antagonist functions of a very high selectivity with a remarkable permeability. Whereas molecular details are obvious keys to perform these tasks, the overall efficiency of transport in such nanopores is also strongly limited by viscous dissipation arising at the connection between the nanoconstriction and the nearby bulk reservoirs. In this contribution, we focus on these so-called entrance effects and specifically examine whether the characteristic hourglass shape of aquaporins may arise from a geometrical optimum for such hydrodynamic dissipation. Using a combination of finite-element calculations and analytical modeling, we show that conical entrances with suitable opening angle can indeed provide a large increase of the overall channel permeability. Moreover, the optimal opening angles that maximize the permeability are found to compare well with the angles measured in a large variety of aquaporins. This suggests that the hourglass shape of aquaporins could be the result of a natural selection process toward optimal hydrodynamic transport. Finally, in a biomimetic perspective, these results provide guidelines to design artificial nanopores with optimal performances.

description: W126 is a cumulative ozone exposure index based on sigmoidally weighted daytime ozone concentrations used to evaluate the impacts of ozone on vegetation. We quantify W126 in the U.S. in the absence of North American anthropogenic emissions (North American background or “NAB”) using three regional or global chemical transport models for May–July 2010. All models overestimate W126 in the eastern U.S. due to a persistent bias in daytime ozone, while the models are relatively unbiased in California and the Intermountain West. Substantial difference in the magnitude and spatial and temporal variability of the estimates of W126 NAB between models supports the need for a multimodel approach. While the average NAB contribution to daytime ozone in the Intermountain West is 64–78%, the average W126 NAB is only 9–27% of current levels, owing to the weight given to high O3 concentrations in W126. Based on a three-model mean, NAB explains ~30% of the daily variability in the W126 daily index in the Intermountain West. Adjoint sensitivity analysis shows that nationwide W126 is influenced most by NOx emissions from anthropogenic (58% of the total sensitivity) and natural (25%) sources followed by nonmethane volatile organic compounds (10%) and CO (7%). Most of the influence of anthropogenic NOx comes from the U.S. (80%), followed by Canada (9%), Mexico (4%), and China (3%). Thus, long-range transport of pollution has a relatively small impact on W126 in the U.S., and domestic emissions control should be effective for reducing W126 levels.

description: Informační vzdělávání je mezi knihovnicemi a knihovníky považováno za již v podstatě tradiční téma. A jde také o službu, kterou VŠ knihovny v menším či větším rozsahu poskytují. Přesto se ale jeho pojetí časem proměňuje, přibývají nová témata, nové formáty výuky a také se detailně profiluje role učícího knihovníka / učící knihovnice. Mění se i způsob, jakým je informační vzdělávání začleňováno do studijní reality našich studentů. Mělo by být informační vzdělávání součástí strategického plánu každé vysoké školy? A pokud se domníváme, že ano – tak jak toho docílit? Je to úkol jen pro učící knihovnice a knihovníky či také (nebo zejména?) pro vedení knihovny? A jak může vypadat navazování úzké a pevné spolupráce mezi knihovnami a vedením VŠ?

description: This research project examines the consistency of Italian regional and local electoral systems with the Constitution. After a brief presentation of the international, European and constitutional norms regulating the right to vote, the thesis follows the evolution of the electoral laws of every level of government and the corresponding judicial decisions, both constitutional and not, which formed in the same years. It then analyzes thoroughly the electoral rules of the 19 Regions, 2 Autonomous Provinces, of the Provinces/Metropolitan Cities and of the Municipalities. The project assesses whether the standards provided by the Constitutional Court in relation to a particular level of government can be applied to other levels: in particular, the focus is on the interpretation of section 2, art. 48 Const. as applied to the national electoral law in the 1/14 and 35/17 decisions. After demonstrating that it would probably be appropriate to differentiate the application of the constitutional standards (more strictly to the Regions and less to the other entities), the thesis compares today?s laws with these standards. Finally, in order to allow a comparative analysis, the research project presents the German and Spanish systems of local electoral laws and its constitutional norms, from which it derives proposals to solve some of the long-lasting issues of the Italian local electoral system.
