Electrooxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone using nickel electrodes in an undivided batch cell

Cyclohexanone is an essential intermediate for nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 production, with global demand exceeding five million metric tons annually. Conventional industrial routes (primarily air oxidation of cyclohexane or cyclohexanol) suffer from multiple limitations: low single-pass conversions (3–5%), modest selectivity (70–85%), high operating temperatures (140–180°C), and dependence on stoichiometric chemical oxidants. Electrochemical oxidation represents a promising sustainable alternative...

National and Institutional Approaches to Erasmus+ Priorities: A Comparative Study of the Internationalization Strategies of the University of Padua and the University of Würzburg

The international dimension of higher education has become increasingly important in recent years, shaped by global trends and its strategic position within European agendas. This master's thesis explores how the Erasmus+ priorities - digitalization, inclusion and diversity, sustainability and climate action, and democratic participation - are reflected in the internationalization strategies of two European universities: the University of Padua (Italy) and the University of Würzburg (Germany)...

The Influence of AI-Powered Adaptive Learning Platforms on Learning Culture in Corporate Learning and Human Resource Development in Medium to Large-Sized Organizations

In the course of digital transformation, AI-supported adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) are becoming increasingly important for continuing education and strategic human resources development in medium-and large-sized organizations. These systems use artificial intelligence to customize learning processes, generate personalized learning paths, and promote self-directed. While the technological potential of such platforms has been widely discussed, their influence on the learning culture of or...

Scaling Stream Processing in Cloud-Native Environments

This thesis addresses the use of cloud-native autoscalers, including Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), KEDA, and Cluster Autoscaler, in conjunction with streaming processing platforms like KStream and Flink within Kubernetes environments. As Kubernetes emerges as the de-facto standard for container orchestration, the demand for effective autoscaling solutions to manage dynamic workloads has grown significantly. This study evaluates the performance and scalability of selected autoscalers tria...

Managing EU funded projects: The case of Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli

This thesis explores the role of European projects as tools for integration, funding distribution, and value dissemination across the EU. It investigates how organizations access and implement EUfunded projects, and the ways they interact simultaneously in various consortia, according to its role. Through qualitative interviews and project analysis, the research examines a case study of a Foundation, focussing on project goals, consortium structures, funding mechanisms, and core concepts such...

Research Under Pressure: U.S. Academic Freedom, Security Scrutiny, and Europe’s Strategic Response

This study explores how recent U.S. science policy shifts which led to severe funding cuts, tightened compliance requirements, and growing political interference, have influenced researcher perceptions and mobility, and how the European Union has responded strategically. The study focuses on 2025 as a turning point in transatlantic research dynamics and is anchored in the Presence-Opportunity-Capability (POC) framework, as well as complemented by a push-pull mobility lens. Methodologically, ...

Halophytes from lagoons of the North Adriatic Sea: their biological activity and potential application.

Halophytes are salt-tolerant plants adapted to extreme coastal conditions and known to produce high levels of bioactive secondary metabolites, making them attractive candidates for nutraceutical, pharmacological, cosmetic, and biotechnological applications. This study examines thirteen halophytic species from the North Adriatic lagoon system (Venice Lagoon and Po Delta areas) by assessing their biological potential through an integrated analytical workflow. Extracts from different plant organ...
