Pier Giorgio Ardeni He is a professor of Political and Development Economics at the University of Bologna. 

(Book and author information) Social classes in Italy today (Editori Laterza), describes the social differences that remain strong and clear in Italy, where they limit social mobility, access to education, possibilities and opportunities. Of course, classes are no longer what they once were because professions and lifestyles have changed, but they still exist, after they had convinced us that in our 'liquid' society they had dissolved.
These pages, following step by step how the class structure has evolved in Italy and quantifying the weight of the various strata and classes in the changing of their characteristics and composition, want to show how inequalities in income distribution correspond to differences in profession and educational qualifications and how the social structure still influences power relations. The relative weight of classes has varied and with it their 'political' weight, in the channels of representation. A book that wants to demonstrate how classes still exist, indeed, and it is from these that we must start again to rethink the crisis of democracy and representation.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming people's lives in unprecedented ways. AI models have human or superhuman abilities in multiple tasks, eg, gaming, driving, conversation, and content organization. In biomedical research, however, AI demonstrated as much promise, eg, in molecular drug design, as much disappointment, eg, in clinical drug repurposing or public health intervention. One of the reasons is that the datasets AI feeds on – sourced from real world databases such electronic health records (EHR) – are often littered with bias. Such bias might be irrelevant to predict the happening of health conditions, but it influences any strategy to prevent such conditions from happening. In this talk, we will take a dive into the promises and perils of AI in healthcare, and its troubled relationship with data, bias, and causality. We will explore novel causal AI methodologies able to both provide accurate individual health predictions as well as interventions. Finally, we will present use cases of causal AI on large, integrated EHR data, and an eagle's view of EHR consortia in the USA.

Research Institute on Population and Social Policy of the National Research Council (Cnr-Irpps) conducted two studies in primary schools in Rome e in upper secondary schools in Italy showing the presence of a pronounced adherence to stereotyped roles in boys and girls and the attenuation of these conditioning in the transition to adolescence.

The data indicate such gaps and stereotypes reproduce still strongly in the family environmentand the important role of the school in countering them.

Three graphs are presented below to view the results.
