Educació per al desenvolupament sostenible: una via per a l’enfortiment de la responsabilitat social universitària
2018
Antecedents: s’analitzen els antecedents del concepte de Responsabilitat Social Universitària (RSU), les arrels de la qual es troben en l’evolució del concepte de Responsabilitat Social Empresarial (RSE), en què es destaca la idea central que l’empresa del segle xxi ha d’aportar a la societat alguna cosa més que la producció de béns, serveis i guanys financers, per la qual cosa es bolca l’interès cap a la creació de valors socials, sobre la base d’actuacions i procediments ètics globals. Mètode: es fa una recerca documental de tres conceptes clau, RSU, Educació per al Desenvolupament Sostenible (EDS) i acreditació universitària per a l’enfortiment d’ambdós conceptes.Resultats: es proposa un…

Electric energy consumption analysis of SPIF processes
2013
Manufacturing processes, as used for discrete part manufacturing, are responsible for a substantial part of the environmental impact of products, but are still poorly documented in terms of environmental footprint. A thorough analysis on the causes affecting the environmental impact in metal forming processes, especially the innovative but very energy intensive sheet metal forming technologies required to form light-weight products, is nowadays necessary. Therefore, this paper presents an energy consumption analysis, including a power and time study, of Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) processes. First, the influence of the most relevant process parameters (e.g. feed rate, step down)…

The Valencia Eustress-Distress Appraisal Scale (VEDAS): Validation of the Italian Version
2018
© 2018 by the authors. The aim of this study is to validate the Italian version of the Valencia Eustress-Distress Appraisal Scale (VEDAS). Two hundred and thirty-two Italian workers were involved in the study. Dimensionality, reliability, and concurrent validity were analyzed. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a four-dimensional structure. In addition, the Italian version of the scale showed good internal consistency and validity. The results indicate that the Italian version of the VEDAS is a valid instrument for measuring eustress and distress appraisal in the Italian context. ispartof: SUSTAINABILITY vol:10 issue:11 status: published
An innovative Blockchain-based model to implement the 2030 Agenda in Italy
2023
One of the most crucial collective efforts in history for improving the lives of billions of people is the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The assessment of the implementation of the SDGs in Italy in 2019 demonstrates that, overall, Italian cities have achieved 53% of the implementation of the SDGs from 100 percent full achievement. In addition, in many regions, the investigation verifies the gap between the country's north and south. Given that the use of the transformational power of blockchain to achieve the SDGs looks promising, the goal of this study is to explore how blockchain may improve the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Italy. In this research, a qualitative approach a…

Environmental Planning Inputs by the Forest Sector: The Scale Factor, the Connection Planning-Management and the Relations with other Planning Sector…
2011
In the twentieth-century Italy, as many other densely populated European countries, has been characterized by a progressive reduction of the forest cover, specially in the southern Mediterranean regions. Generally, the mountain areas developed a forest based economy, especially in north east Alps and in the Mediterranean Apennine inner mountains. Several distinctions must be taken into account, for example with regard to ownership of the woods. On the Alps, generally the forest are municipal, community or private properties. In the Mediterranean Apennines inner areas there are many wide state owned forest, followed by municipal properties, while the private property is, on average, less dif…
Environmental and Forest Planning in Italy: Conflicts and Opportunities
2016
Abstract The necessity of a more sustainable use of lands and environmental resources in general, throughout specific programming and management tools at different scale levels is nowadays widely shared. Forests and woodlands are a key asset of the environment and the traditional and current landscapes. With regards to the state of art of forest planning and management tools in Italy, in this short paper, after a synthetic analysis of the tools currently adopted at different levels, some critical aspects of the relationships of forest planning instruments with other planning tools involved in environmental management (landscape plan, energy plans, basin plans) are investigated, enlightening…
Il controllo degli insetti fitofagi nell'olivicoltura biologica.
2016
Puntuali strategie di controllo, campionamenti personalizzati e maggiore consapevolezza entomologica, insita nell’approccio del coltivatore biologico, consentono ottimi risultati quali-quantitativi ed economici nella difesa fitosanitaria in olivicoltura “organica” e in qualsiasi area olivicola italiana. Le minori spese fitosanitarie rispetto all’olivicoltura convenzionale inducono un sempre maggior numero di produttori alla conversione verso il bio. Gli autori illustrano le metodologie ammesse e consigliabili in regime di agricoltura biologica, per il controllo dei principali insetti fitofagi del olivo nel Mediterraneo, con particolare riferimento alla mosca delle oilve, Bactrocera oleae, e…
