The Politics of Debate in the Union Societies
2016
The chapter discusses the disputes over procedure in the private meetings of the Union Societies and how they can be interpreted politically. Haapala points out that some of the rules were adopted from the House of Commons, although the Unions did not follow the parliamentary model in all respects. As well as noting that the politics of debate in the Unions was largely conducted through rule interpretation and challenging the decisions of the president, the chapter also draws attention to the role of the standing committees, the vast powers of Union presidents and the rhetorical strategies the members used in the debates. The chapter ends with a typology of politicisation of the rules in th…
Applying the Economy for the Common Good Framework to the European Firms: Antecedents, Profile, and Measurement Theory Validation
2021
En las últimas dos décadas, los fallos de mercado han impulsado el surgimiento de diferentes enfoques organizativos y teorías alternativas al sistema económico actual, impulsadas por una perspectiva más humanista y social. Así, la crisis económica que comenzó en 2008 impulsó al sociólogo y activista político austriaco Christian Felber, junto con el apoyo de un grupo de empresarios austríacos, a presentar en 2008 un documento titulado "Nuevos valores para la economía". Este documento planteaba las bases para un sistema alternativo al capitalismo y al comunismo, dando así a luz un nuevo modelo económico y social conocido como Economía del Bien Común (EBC). El modelo de la EBC deriva de difere…
No more Masterplan: the Cityforming Protocol
2018
In Europe, the season of urban regeneration has produced important effects both in the review of the urban devices and in the rethinking of the settlement forms and their spatial and human relations. But it cannot be denied that certain diseases emerged which often have anaesthetised – if not cancelled – the regenerative effects envisaged. The urban transition, while it has increased the use of regeneration processes from the bottom, has at the same time extended the epidemic of failures derived from a top-down approach. The critical issues of hierarchical urban regeneration cannot be solved by revising the procedures for participation, improving design devices, or innovating implementation…
Alliances between For-Profit and Non-Profit Organizations as an Instrument to Implement the Economy for the Common Good
2020
The model of the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) has cooperation as one of its main principles. This alternative economic model proposes to prioritize cooperation over competition to favor the creation of social value. From this point of view, strategic alliances between organizations can be used as an instrument that supports implementation of the ECG model. In recent years, alliances between for-profit and non-profit entities have been strengthened as a method to facilitate actions focused on social responsibility and sustainability. Moreover, the ECG model has become an adequate management framework for corporate sustainability. This work aims to connect alliances between for-profit an…
Entre moneo e memini. Arquitectura funeraria militar en el sureste de Sicilia.
2023
Nel luglio del 1943 la costa sud-orientale della Sicilia fu teatro dello sbarco attuato dalle forze militari Alleate da cui prende avvio la liberazione dal nazi-fascismo dell’Italia e dell’Europa. Gli eventi bellici siciliani furono inevitabilmente piuttosto cruenti e videro un numero elevato di morti di soldati italiani, tedeschi e dei militari delle forze anglo-americane. Sin dagli anni Cinquanta del ’900, la Commonwealth War Grave Commission e la Volksbund, al fine di onorare i militari Alleati e tedeschi caduti in battaglia, avviarono la realizzazione di diversi cimiteri di guerra tra Agira, Catania, Siracusa e Motta Sant’Anastasia. I primi tre, progettati da Louis de Soissons, destinat…
Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses in Court Trials
2010
Molecular phylogenetics allows reconstructing of the genealogy and evolutionary history of organisms from information on their nucleotide or amino acid sequences. When sequences are derived from very fast evolving organisms, such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses, changes accumulate in a few days or weeks, thus allowing the reconstruction of very recent evolutionary events in the history of these populations. One such event is the transmission of one of these viruses, for instance human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), from an infected person to another. This occasionally results in a legal demand seeking for compensation and/or punishment for the transmitter. Hence,…

Impact of viable CD45 cells infused on lymphocyte subset recovery after unrelated cord blood transplantation in children
2010
International audience; We studied lymphocyte recovery in 88 children who consecutively underwent unrelated cord blood transplantation for malignant (n = 64) or nonmalignant (n = 24) diseases. All children but 3 received myeloablative conditioning regimens with pretransplant antithymocyte globulin. Median age was 5.6 years (0.1-18 years) and median follow-up was 40 months (10-136 months). The median dose of infused viable CD45(+) cells (vCD45) was 3.35 × 10(7)/kg with a ratio infused vCD45/collected total nucleated cell at 0.46. Immunologic endpoints were: time to achieve CD3(+) >500 and 1500/mm(3), CD4(+) >500/mm(3), CD8(+) >250/mm(3), CD19(+) >200/mm(3), natural killer >100/mm(3). These e…
Harnessing the biodiversity value of Central and Eastern European farmland
2015
A large proportion of European biodiversity today depends on habitat provided by low‐intensity farming practices, yet this resource is declining as European agriculture intensifies. Within the European Union, particularly the central and eastern new member states have retained relatively large areas of species‐rich farmland, but despite increased investment in nature conservation here in recent years, farmland biodiversity trends appear to be worsening. Although the high biodiversity value of Central and Eastern European farmland has long been reported, the amount of research in the international literature focused on farmland biodiversity in this region remains comparatively ti…
Educational Commons. Pratiche educative di comunità, disuguaglianze e partecipazione
2022
A seguito della crisi socio-economica scoppiata sul finire del XX secolo e dei crescenti tassi di esclusione sociale, diseguaglianza e degrado ambientale, è cresciuta in modo significativo l’attenzione per forme alternative di azione sociale fondate sulla nozione di beni comuni, intesi sia come commons, ovvero un insieme di risorse materiali e immateriali, sia come common, ovvero il modello di governance di queste risorse, co-gestite secondo criteri di partecipazione, creatività collettiva, uguaglianza e reciprocità. Questo volume nasce dall’esigenza di ripensare l’educazione come common(s) e di riflettere sull’importanza di sperimentare e valutare le dinamiche attraverso le quali l’educazi…
