Towards sustainable mobility : Transformative scenarios for 2034
2022
Highlights • Increasing the share of walking and cycling is one of the building blocks of sustainable mobility transformation. • We organised an online Delphi survey for 30 walking and cycling experts during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. • Disaggregative Delphi analysis is elaborated based on the systemic restructuring of qualitative data. • Transport experts’ views of the future are described in the form of five walking and cycling scenarios up to 2034. • The results can be used for strategic transport planning and policy, and for identifying instruments for walking and cycling promotion in urban areas. Increasing the share of walking and cycling is one of the building blocks of sus…

La participación de la ciudadanía en los procesos de diseño de las políticas públicas de empleo. El caso del litoral sur de Alicante
2019
La presente investigación tiene como finalidad describir cómo la ciudadanía ha contribuido a la elaboración de un Diagnóstico Territorial de Empleo (DET) promovido por la Generalitat Valenciana, previo al diseño de futuras políticas públicas para el fomento del empleo, en tres municipios alicantinos. Se consiguió a través de una Investigación-Acción-Participación (IAP). Se realizaron talleres participativos y grupos focales que sirvieron para que la ciudadanía conociese de la existencia del proyecto y sus fines, además de aportar su experiencia, opinión y plantear posibles soluciones a la problemática del empleo en estos municipios. Se puede concluir que la ciudadanía está capacitada para a…
Possession and volition in the development of modal meanings: a case-study from Sicilian
2019
This article analyses two Sicilian modal constructions involving vuliri 'want' + infinitive and aviri a ‘have to’ + infinitive. They are used to express modal values, both non-epistemic and epistemic, and futurity. Based on Langacker's Cognitive Grammar assumptions, we describe the semantic network associated with each modal, as well as their semantic overlap. In addition, we describe how modal values interact with temporal-aspectual inflection. Our analysis shows that the epistemic values of vuliri are quite peripheral, while aviri a shows a high degree of polysemy, both in the non-epistemic and in the more abstract epistemic domain. The non-epistemic-to-epistemic shifts depend on the cont…
Can future observation of the living partner post-tag the past decayed state in entangled neutral K mesons?
2019
Entangled neutral K mesons allow for the study of their correlated dynamics at interference and decoherence times not accessible in any other system. We find novel quantum phenomena associated to a correlation in time between the two partners: The past state of the first decayed kaon, when it was entangled before its decay, is post-tagged by the result and the time of the future observation of the second decay channel. This surprising "from future to past"effect is fully observable and leads to the unique experimental tag of the KS state, an unsolved problem since the discovery of CP violation.
Politiskā līdzdalība, Latvijas gadījums, starptautiskie protesti
2021
Pētnieciskā darba nosaukums ir: “Politiskā līdzdalība, Latvijas gadījums, starptautiskie protesti”. Pētījuma ietvaros izvirzītais mērķis ir sekojošs - izprast galvenos iemeslus, kāpēc cilvēki piedalās vai nepiedalās protestos. Darba izpētes jautājums tiek izvirzīts- kāpēc Latvijas iedzīvotāju līdzdalība starptautiskos protestos ir tik zema un kāpēc protesti uzrunā/neuzrunā iedzīvotājus. Bakalaura darba teorētiskās daļas pirmajā apakšnodaļā tika aplūkota protesta kā jēdziena definēšana un tā nozīme politikā, tostarp, kas veicina līdzdalību protestos un protestu ietekme. Pētnieciskā darba teorētiskās daļas otrajā apakšnodaļā tika apskatīti iemesli, kāpēc cilvēki nepiedalās protestos. Teorētis…
Pricing of electricity futures based on locational price differences : empirical evidence from Finland
2016
Tietyn maantieteellisen alueen kilpailullisilla sähkömarkkinoilla on yleensä viitespot-hinta, joka kuvastaa yleistä hintatasoa tukkumarkkinalla, ja jota käytetään johdannaisten viitehintana. Paikallisten markkinoiden hinnat saattavat kuitenkin poiketa tästä viitehinnasta siirtoyhteyksien rajallisuuden takia. Pohjoismaisilla sähkömarkkinoilla ns. systeemi- ja tarjousalueen aluehinnan väliseltä basis-riskiltä suojaudutaan ns. aluehintaero-johdannaisilla (eng. Electricity Price Area Differential, EPAD). Tutkin tässä pro gradu- työssä Suomen tarjousalueen EPAD-tuotteiden ja vastaavan aluehintaeron yhteyttä. Koska sähkö ei ole varastoitavissa, yleisen näkemyksen mukaan sopiva sähköfutuurien hinn…
Strutture analitiche e sintetiche. Modalità e temporalità nel siciliano contemporaneo
2011
From the theoretical assumption that in grammaticalization processes the derivation from synthetic to analytic forms is a way of disambiguation of temporal, modal and aspectual meanings, we examine the use of synthetic and analytic structures for the expression of the rendering of future tense and of deontic and epistemic modality in contemporary Sicilian dialect. With respect to methodology, we operate a comparison between Italian and dialect to grasp the dynamics in effect in the (ri-)definition of verbal categories in the contemporary Italian system, in times of increasing heteronomy between Standard Language and dialectal varieties. The study is based on the answers given to a set of tr…
Imagining a “post-carbon” future? Climate change as represented by media and film industries
2020
This study explores current trends in representing and communicating climate change by media industries. It reviews the current literature on mainstream media narratives of climate change focusing on their naturalization of progress and their techno-optimism (e.g., as regards geoengineering). It provides insight on how the media industry’s commercial agenda is linked to the types of disseminated messages and dominant imaginaries. It compares respective codes inherent in news media and film/fictional representations of climate change on representative examples. It traces the evolution of disaster/dystopian genres that involve climate issues. It discusses the implications from such a comparat…
Possible future scenarios for Sicilian cereal cropping in the light of current trends in agricultural policy of the European Union
2008
This paper sets out the results of a research project carried out by the University of Palermo and financed by the Sicilian Region, which aims to establish the impact of the Fischler Reform on Sicilian agriculture, and to project future scenarios that take into account some of the changes that the production process may undergo in the Region, following both the application of the Reform itself (now in force) and the eventual application of indications contained in the Health check. The impacts of the Fischler Reform, and especially the application of the Single Payment scheme to companies, were examined in cereal cropping companies, especially considering the significant amount of durum whe…
