Reproducible research practices, openness and transparency in health economic evaluations: study protocol for a cross-sectional comparative analysis
2020
INTRODUCTION: There has been a growing awareness of the need for rigorously and transparent reported health research, to ensure the reproducibility of studies by future researchers. Health economic evaluations, the comparative analysis of alternative interventions in terms of their costs and consequences, have been promoted as an important tool to inform decision-making. The objective of this study will be to investigate the extent to which articles of economic evaluations of healthcare interventions indexed in MEDLINE incorporate research practices that promote transparency, openness and reproducibility. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is the study protocol for a cross-sectional comparative ana…
Covid-19 and Social Structure: Three Key Words for Future Orientation
2022
The paper deals on three keywords to orientation in the future by focusing on three crucial concepts: 1. The sharing economy, regarding the transformation emerging in contemporary economic scenarios; 2. The creative imagination, concerning the changes that are taking place in technological developments and linked not only to production systems but also to the consumption of goods and services; 3. The solidarity, in relation to the global changes all over the world. We will see that such three keywords, which recall specific areas of social and economic fields, are strongly interconnected to each other, especially when we look at the effects of the pandemic on the future of society.
Supply Chain Collaboration in Craft Production: empirical evidences from the food and beverage industry
2021
This paper empirically analyzes collaborative relationships among craftsmen and their suppliers in the food and beverage industry. Despite the recent return to traditional manufacturing methods triggered by customers’ attention, the literature debate on supply chain collaboration, in this field, has received limited research attention. In particular, the paper aims at investigating information and knowledge sharing in craft production environments by addressing the following research questions: RQ1. What type of information and knowledge is shared? RQ2. What are the main antecedents that lead to exchange information and knowledge with suppliers? RQ3. What are the benefits? The qualitative c…
Customer’s role in knowledge management and in the innovation process: effects on innovation capacity and marketing results
2016
Scholars have acknowledged customer knowledge management (CKM) as a key strategic resource for improving innovation and supporting long-term customer relationship management. This study provides a deeper understanding of the internal antecedents of business innovation capacity overcoming previous approaches. A model that had not previously been tested was used to analyse the role of customer collaboration and CKM – measured as a second-order construct – in innovation processes and marketing results. To test the model, structural equation modelling (partial least squares) was applied to a random sample of 210 Spanish companies. Results confirm that CKM and customer collaboration are antecede…
The Rise of Distributed Artificial Intelligence Through Shared Data and Cloud Solutions
2021
Decision-makers of present times encounter influence by an ever-increasing emotional condition created by social media, market trends, experience, and historical facts. The concept of mixed human and artificial intelligence is one of the most underrated business drivers today, and conspiracy theories, fixed mindset, and legacy systems are slowing down collective evolution. This paper intends to contribute to the everyday awareness of data sharing through cloud solutions and services. It opens a wide range of possibilities for new solutions and insights that endorse a collaborative culture where a growth mindset paired with transparency and ethics reduces time-to-value in businesses, governm…
VegItaly: Technical features, crucial issues and some solutions
2012
VegItaly is at present the largest Italian vegetation database. It is the result of a collaborative project aspiring to represent a major reference for the Italian vegetation scientists. The paper emphasizes its benefits for phytosociological data management and describes the solutions adopted to solve several technical problems, like the treatment of different vegetation stratification systems, the conversion of vegetation cover values, taxonomic and syntaxonomic issues, data import and access. The structure of the taxonomic list produced to support the storing of data is described. It allows an easy management of synonymic relationships and is constantly updated according to new publicati…
The UN in the Lab
2013
We consider two alternatives to inaction for governments combating terrorism, which we term Deterrence and Prevention. Deterrence – investing in resources that reduce the impact of an attack – generates a negative externality to other governments, making their countries a more attractive objective for terrorists, while Prevention – investing in resources that reduce the ability of the terrorist organization to mount an attack – creates a positive externality by reducing the overall threat of terrorism for all. Due to the structure of this interaction, countries can benefit from coordination of policy choices, and international institutions (such as the UN) can be utilized to facilitate coor…
Universal Design of Information Sharing Tools for Disaster Risk Reduction
2019
International audience; Disaster information sharing tools are an important aspect of disaster resilience, and it is of utmost importance that these tools are accessible and usable for as many potential users as possible. In this paper, we evaluate the accessibility of a selection of tools for crowdsourcing disaster situation information. As our evaluation shows that the selected tools are not fully accessible, we provide recommendations for mitigation, as well as highlight the importance of further research in this area.
Metric regularity and subdifferential calculus in Banach spaces
1995
In this paper we give verifiable conditions in terms of limiting Frechet subdifferentials ensuring the metric regularity of a multivalued functionF(x)=−g(x)+D. We apply our results to the study of the limiting Frechet subdifferential of a composite function defined on a Banach space.
HybridS: A Scheme for Secure Distributed Data Storage in WSNs
2008
In unattended wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data is stored locally or at designated nodes upon sensing, and users can access it on demand. This paradigm can improve energy efficiency by making use of the upcoming cheap and large flash memory, as well as system robustness. Nevertheless, the security and dependability of distributed storage are critical for the applicability of such WSNs. In this paper, we propose a secure and dependable data storage scheme by taking advantages of secret sharing and Reed-Solomon code, which has computational security and yet maintains optimal data size. The extensive analysis verifies our scheme can provide secure and dependable data storage in WSNs in the…
