This study investigates the association between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure
and diversity of the board of directors (BoD) in Italian listed companies. Diversity of BoD
in terms of gender diversity, CSR committees, board average, and independent directors are examined
as to their influence on voluntary ESG disclosure. This rating is highly relevant to managers
and investors considering ESG issues in their decision-making process. The factors that

DESCRIZIONE L’attuale contesto storico-sociale è caratterizzato dalla crescente esigenza, per le organizzazioni, di confrontarsi con una forza lavoro sempre più eterogenea. Questo è evidenziato da dati come l’aumento dei tassi di occupazione femminile, da flussi migratori globali e dal progressivo invecchiamento della forza lavoro. In un contesto come questo indagare se e come le persone in Azienda percepiscano nei confronti di sé stesse e degli altri degli atteggiamenti discriminatori o viceversa di inclusione rispetto alla diversità diventa un aspetto di assoluto interesse.

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) are a global crisis facing the aging population and society as a whole. With the numbers of people with ADRDs predicted to rise dramatically across the world, the scientific community can no longer neglect the need for research focusing on ADRDs among underrepresented ethnoracial diverse groups. The Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART; alz.org/ISTAART) comprises a number of professional interest areas (PIAs), each focusing on a major scientific area associated with ADRDs.

Conserving threatened species requires identifying where across their range they are being impacted by threats, yet this remains unresolved across most of Earth. Here, we present a global analysis of cumulative human impacts on threatened species by using a spatial framework that jointly considers the co-occurrence of eight threatening processes and the distribution of 5,457 terrestrial vertebrates. We show that impacts to species are widespread, occurring across 84% of Earth’s surface, and identify hotspots of impacted species richness and coolspots of unimpacted species richness.

The October first 2017 is the opening day of the three-years European project Codes – Communication Diversity Solidarity. Its goal is to design a course focused on intercultural competencies. Such course is intended to train future experts in this field that will be working as “attachés of the communication for cultural diversity” in several types of organizations.

Abstract. Since november 2017 six European Universities ̶ including Sapienza, represented by Coris, the Departement of “Communication and social research” ̶ are engaged in building a scientific-educational path to train professional figures specialized in the management of diversity inside organizations. “Codes” – the acronym of “Communication, Diversity, Solidarity” – is a project funded by the European Union.

An enormous number of measures based on different criteria have been proposed to quantify evenness or unevenness among species relative abundances in an assemblage. However, a unified approach that can encompass most of the widely used indices is still lacking. Here, we first present some basic requirements for an evenness measure.
