REACT: Raising Engagement and Awareness against Crisis and fake news in Times of disaster

The spread of biased and manipulative content can be largely addressed by facilitating information sharing between citizens and journalists. The main objective of REACT project is to respond to spread of disinformation by facilitating digital educational activities for raising awareness of fake news and disinformation in a specific pilot setting in Ukraine and under the current circumstances in that country affected by war. REACT project will deliver digital educational methods to minimize the impact of fake news and biased information, advancing the state-of-the-art in applicable in disaster management occasions. We will empower the understanidng of the influnce of fake news distribution in general public and we will deliver digital educational material and training strategies for raising awareness against fake news detection.Our project will be tested in Ukrainia, using the lessons learned of fake news

Local Electoral Participation in Europe: The Roots of Municipal Politics

While electoral participation is a traditional topic in political science, voter turnout at the local level is still highly uncharted. Large-N comparative works on municipal turnout are very few, and thus a comprehensive comparative picture of local electoral participation is still lacking. This book aims to fill exactly this gap, and approaches the topic in an innovative way. The volume offers three major advances at an empirical, methodological and theoretical level. Empirically, it provides a large-N comparison by covering 18 European countries and over 70.000 municipalities. Methodologically, based on the multi-level congruence (MLC) theory (i.e. the degree of congruence in electoral results among different levels), the book studies municipal turnout in relation to national turnout, and it employs the turnout variation between those levels. Theoretically, it bridges the two main and usually mutually exclusive theoretical strands on local elections - the lower-rank and the different-kind approaches. This book thus adds to the academic knowledge on the features and mechanisms of local voting, and offers a broad comparative research in electoral studies and local government

DEMETRA – DEveloping Marche immersive Experience for Tourism, Research and Advancement

Il progetto DEMETRA mira a sviluppare nuove metodologie di profilazione utente mediante tecnologie attive di raccolta dati attraverso l’Affective Computing a seguito di stimolazioni emozionali in ambienti immersivi, nel quale sono proposte simulazioni di viaggio in ambienti virtuali fruiti attraverso piattaforme web-based. L'obiettivo della ricerca è quello di arrivare a progettare esperienze turistiche sempre più vicine alle esigenze dei consumatori e sempre più sostenibili dai territori di accoglienza, riequilibrando i flussi turistici e adattandoli alle reali capacità di accoglienza degli stessi anche in termini di ottimizzazione dei servizi, al fine di aumentare la qualità dei prodotti proposti. I potenziali viaggiatori potranno vivere anticipatamente esperienze legate ai luoghi di destinazione, riducendo il divario tra le aspettative iniziali e l'effettiva esperienza di viaggio. Un’innovazione di servizio autentica

A new cost function for heuristic search of nonlinear substitutions

This work investigates the development of an improved cost function specifically designed for the rapid generation of highly nonlinear substitution or S-boxes, a key component in modern symmetric key ciphers. The S-boxes are generated via a tailored hill-climbing algorithm, a heuristic search method typically employed in solving complex computational problems. The novel cost function proposed in this paper is shown to expedite this generation process, reducing the iteration count by 25% relative to the best-known prior result, which required about 65,000 iterations. Furthermore, the approach enhances the likelihood of obtaining target S-boxes, with a threefold increase in successful outcomes compared to existing methods. Our method yields S-boxes that adhere to critical cryptographic measures, such as delta-uniformity, algebraic immunity, and others. This study emphasizes the specific application of the cost function to the generation of S-boxes, noting that its effectiveness may vary in other combinatorial optimization problems
