The sicilian network for inflammatory bowel disease (SN-IBD): preliminary data on efficacy of biological therapy.
2017
Introduction: The monitoring of appropriateness, costs, and clinical outcomes of biological therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relevant need. Aims & Methods: We aimed to evaluate all these issues in Sicily through a webbased network of all prescribing centers. The Sicilian Network for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (SN-IBD) is composed by a super Hub coordinator centre and five Hub plus ten Spoke centres. From January 2013, all IBD patients starting a biological agent (incident cases) or already on treatment (prevalent cases) were entered in a web based software. Herein we report data of incident cases about the efficacy of biological therapy after twelve weeks and one year of…

Sistema d'accoglienza e fabbisogni formativi
2007
Il contributo contenuto in questo capitolo, vuole indagare il sistema di relazioni esistenti tra turista-imprese, turista-enti pubblici, turista-comunità locale, nei tre ambiti territoriali. L’analisi accerta la presenza di relazionalità tra gli attori, verificandone l’intensità e la direzione, adottando una metodologia statistica, che fa uso di indicatori sintetici, sulla base dei dati raccolti in fase di rilevazione. I paragrafi seguenti, riportano per ciascuna relazione (turista verso la comunità e viceversa; turista verso gli enti, e viceversa; turista verso imprese e viceversa), la misura della relazionalità. Ciò consente di tracciare la mappa delle relazioni presenti all’interno di ci…
La Sicilia nel FP7: attori, progetti e reti
2013
I finanziamenti europei al sistema della Ricerca, Sviluppo e Innovazione (RSI) rappresentano un contributo fondamentale alla crescita della competitività delle economie regionali. Le risorse comunitarie si vanno ad integrare con quelle statali e regionali a sostegno delle imprese, contribuendo all’attivazione di numerose iniziative di ricerca da parte di chi nell’ambito di un partenariato unisce le proprie competenze e strutture produttive attorno ad un’idea progettuale più o meno prossima al mercato. Questo studio prende in esame la partecipazione del sistema della ricerca e produttivo siciliano (in primis imprese, università, istituti di ricerca) al principale programma europeo per la RSI…
SVILUPPO RURALE E I NETWORK PLACE-BASED DELLE AREE MARGINALI: IL CASO SICILIA
Turismo relazionale
2007
Il turismo, inteso come viaggio di conoscenza e come svago, esiste da sempre, almeno da quando l’uomo ha manifestato l’esigenza di scoprire quello che gli stava intorno, di allargare quindi la propria sfera di conoscenza e di influenza nel territorio circostante. Con il suo aprirsi “a tutti” e con l’introduzione dell’aspetto simbolico dello status sociale, il turismo ha assunto una connotazione sempre più di“moda”, avviandosi in una direzione gestita da logiche industriali di “massa”2. Logiche economiche centrate sulla ricerca del massimo profitto, come unico parametro valido per la misura della performance aziendale che mostrano oggi, quanto mai prima, i loro difetti e le loro profonde con…
Enhancing repopulation in a decaying historical neighborhood through collaborative networking: A Dynamic Performance Governance approach
2022
Historic centers, as the internationally recognized heritage of the cities, and among the most valuable assets in urban Italy, have been underutilized, devitalized, and wasted (Pellegrini & Micelli, 2019). In fact, urban degradation has been pervasive and remaining also in other industrialized countries (Serrano et al., 2016). Many historic centers have been affected by urban deterioration and depopulation for the past two centuries (Pough & Wan, 2007), and the problem persists today. This research underlines the importance of employing a collaborative governance perspective in designing policies, in terms of not only fostering effective local governments' agendas but also promote active ci…
Adopting a Dynamic Performance Governance Approach to Frame Interorganizational Value Generation Processes into a University Third Mission Setting
2022
In recent years, the literature on Higher Education policy and management emphasized an increasingly entrepreneurial role played by Universities in contributing to the socio-economic development of their regional and local areas. Besides Education and Research, this crucial role identifies a Third Mission to be fulfilled by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), which entails social engagement, networking and collaboration with other stakeholders to generate sustainable community outcomes. This chapter introduces the use of the Dynamic Performance Governance approach to analyze the academic network value generation processes underlying Third Mission activities in Universities. The emerging f…
RE-CONCEPTUALIZING A SICILIAN DESTINATION THROUGH THE ACTORNETWORK THEORY: THE ROLE OF A GASTRONOMIC FESTIVAL TO RUN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF A TE…
2013
The paper describes San Vito Lo Capo – a tourist destination on the west cost of Sicily – by considering its human and not human (material and immaterial) elements. To depict this tourist destination, so to map and analyze the different involved elements and to understand the inner mechanisms of its functioning, the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is exploited. A special focus is on the “Cous Cous Fest” and the role it’s played in the last seventeen years for the tourist (economic) development of the destination.
