Green growth: regioni italiane a confronto

2015

La ripresa economica e l'interesse verso le problematiche ambientali sono oggetto di studio da parte di molti paesi e organismi internazionali con l'obiettivo di definire un sentiero di sviluppo incentrato su una "crescita verde" (green growth). Economia, ambiente e società sono gli elementi di un sistema che deve necessariamente utilizzare le risorse in maniera efficiente e sostenibile, in modo da garantire che la crescita e il benessere non impoveriscano il patrimonio naturale e questo possa rinnovarsi continuando a fornire nel tempo risorse e servizi ambientali. Scopo del lavoro è quello di analizzare le condizioni regionali che possono favorire una crescita sostenibile. Un'analisi delle…

Combining pressure transducer and tipping bucket rain gauge to measure high variable runoff rate collected from a green roof

2018

Urban areas are constantly expanding in terms of space and density. It is known that the effect of urbanization is an increase of the area of impermeable surfaces. The infiltration decreases, the surface runoff increases (Baiamonte, Singh, 2017) and the existing stormwater infrastructure may become no more appropriate to face flooding (Berndtsson, 2010). Berndtsson (2010) described the numerous benefits that can be achieved by turning the roofs green through covering them with soil and vegetation. Green roofs i) reduce and attenuate stormwater runoff, which in turn lowers risks of urban floods and improves the urban water balance thus approaching the natural one (Mentens et al., 2006), ii) …

Beyond Sentinel Lymph Node: Outcomes of Indocyanine Green-Guided Pelvic Lymphadenectomy in Endometrial and Cervical Cancer

2023

Background: The aim of our study was to compare the number of lymph nodes removed during indocyanine green (ICG)-guided laparoscopic/robotic pelvic lymphadenectomy with standard systematic lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer (EC) and cervical cancer (CC). Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective comparative study (Clinical Trial ID: NCT04246580; updated on 31 January 2023). Women affected by EC and CC who underwent laparoscopic/robotic systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy, with (cases) or without (controls) the use of ICG tracer injection within the uterine cervix, were included in the study. Results: The two groups were homogeneous for age (p = 0.08), Body Mass Index, International Fede…

Nitrous oxide emissions in a membrane bioreactor treating saline wastewater contaminated by hydrocarbons

2016

The joint effect of wastewater salinity and hydrocarbons on nitrous oxide emission was investigated. The membrane bioreactor pilot plant was operated with two phases: i. biomass acclimation by increasing salinity from 10 gNaCl L−1 to 20 gNaCl L−1 (Phase I); ii. hydrocarbons dosing at 20 mg L−1 with a constant salt concentration of 20 gNaCl L−1 (Phase II). The Phase I revealed a relationship between nitrous oxide emissions and salinity. During the end of the Phase I, the activity of nitrifiers started to recover, indicating a partial acclimatization. During the Phase II, the hydrocarbon shock induced a temporary inhibition of the biomass with the suppression of nitrous oxide emissions. The r…

ACHIEVING EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION BY PURSUING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

2013

Internal marketing is based on the satisfaction of employees that eventually leads to the retention and attraction of the best employees that help a company succeed in a highly competitive globalized environment. In the context of internal marketing, sustainability would translate into a triple advantage of employee satisfaction, long-term sustainable profit and a durable planet with less pollution. For a more complete vision of the practice of internal marketing in ten global companies, we researched the satisfaction of employees from two perspectives: current satisfaction at work and motivation to work for the current company over the next three years, as evidence of the present satisfact…

Segmentation of Employee Perceptions in Relation to Corporate Social Responsibility Practices

2013

Sustainability is changing the competitive landscape and reshaping the opportunities and threats that companies face. However, for companies to become green they need employees to develop, believe and engage with these initiatives. To achieve success with sustainable practices, companies can use internal marketing which is based on the satisfaction of employees as a premise to achieve the retention and attraction of top talent that will lead to corporate success. It is estimated that the internal customer satisfaction and loyalty contribute to satisfying the external customers, leading ultimately to a company's profit maximization. In this paper I explore the impact of companies' sustainabi…

Crítica a la naturalización del deontologismo en la teoría del proceso dual del juicio moral de Joshua Greene

2018

In this paper I propose to question the Joshua Greene’s neuroethical thesis about the essentially emotional character of so-called “deontological moral judgments”. Frist, I focus on the dual process theory of moral judgment and I criticize that they are considered only and mainly intuitive and non reflective. Se condly, I question that the “utilitarian judgment” is linked to mathematical calculation and the deontological judgment is exclusively reduced to non-reflective factor of emotion. The main objection to Greene’s naturalism raised by me is trying to eliminate the philosophical justification about the moral validity defended by Kant’s deontologism; meanwhile Greene reduces “deontologic…
