The aim of the paper is to explore the published management research on women entrepreneurs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (also known as STEM) fields in order to offer a first, comprehensive state-of-the-art of this research. In doing so, a systematic literature review (SLR) of 32 papers has been undertaken. The results of this SLR show that the literature on this topic is still limited and fragmented. However, seeds have been sown for stimulating the theoretical debate and the empirical knowledge on these issues.

Questo studio si propone di sintetizzare ed ampliare i risultati delle più recenti indagini nazionali e inter-nazionali sugli insegnanti delle discipline STEM in Italia, relativamente ai seguenti aspetti: 1) profilo anagrafico, 2) formazione iniziale e in servizio, 3) pratiche didattiche adottate, 4) ambiente scolastico.

Raising awareness among young people and changing their behavior and habits concerning energy usage and the environment is key to achieving a sustainable planet. The goal to address the global climate problem requires informing the population on their roles in mitigation actions and adaptation of sustainable behaviors. Addressing climate change and achieve ambitious energy and climate targets requires a change in citizen behavior and consumption practices.

Aquatic environment plays an extremely important role in the existence of life on Earth. However, aquatic ecosystems are directly at risk from increasing pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss, which makes it more than necessary to keep them constantly and thoroughly monitored. In this paper, the implementation of a STEM educational practice using the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, together with properly Design-Based Learning (DBL) activities, is presented to inquiry aquatic environments.

This paper presents an evaluation methodology suitable for a design- based learning approach with the Internet of Things technologies for teaching STEM courses. It also aims to evaluate the learning outcomes that such teaching interventions bring to students. The particular ed- ucational approach to be evaluated is an ongoing research topic, focus- ing on IoT sensor data used in school education, for understanding and raising awareness for aquatic ecosystems.

L'articolo presenta e discute i risultati di un'analisi sui microdati ricavati dall'indagine Istat sui neolaureati italiani dal 1998 al 2015, nel quale sono esaminate le tendenze dei redditi da lavoro distinti sulla base dell'ambito scientifico-disciplinare della laurea. In particolare si concentra l'attenzione sul gruppo delle lauree STEM in quanto particolarmente legate alle nuove tecnologie.

Based on the assumption that the set of skills characterizing different fields of study do not match the new technologies in the same way, we focus on the evolution of wage gaps between university graduates in STEM disciplines and other subjects. An Oaxaca decomposition technique is applied to early wages of Italian graduates after taking into account both the selection into employment and the endogeneity of major’s choice.

The present study aimed to characterize the behavior of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. B. bacteriovorus was co-cultured with S. aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Streptococcus mutans, in planktonic and sessile conditions. Co-cultures were studied by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), turbidimetry, quantitative PCR (qPCR), and sequencing of gene Bd0108 of B. bacteriovorus. Results indicated that B. bacteriovorus comparably inhibited planktonic growth of P. aeruginosa and S.

Universities are important hubs and drivers of innovation and
technology, but many inventions remain embryonic in nature: this implies that they
need further development before their commercial value or potential can become
imminent or evident, and one of the reasons why this has happened is a certain
myopia in the governmental funds policies, that fund early stage products’ concept
without focusing of the users’ insights as well as the creation if a stakeholders’
network to make the product more viable to commercialization. The I-Corps, with
