Forest accessibility, Madonie mountains (northern Sicily, Italy): implementing a GIS decision support system
2021
Valorisation and sustainable exploitation of woody biomass from cultivation interventions might be an important opportunity to track alternative development trails for rural communities in natural protected areas. The governance of Mediterranean protected areas is characterized by overlapping, sometimes conflicting institutions, stakeholders and regulations, causing negative impacts on decision-making processes. We present an open source GIS-based decision support system tool for mapping forest accessibility and optimizing woody biomass extraction. Two models were implemented to support forest managers during the decision-making process in designing and managing wood-energy supply chains. T…
The role of Marine Protected Areas in influencing the invasion success of the alien crab Percnon gibbesi
2018
The biotic resistance hypothesis states that pristine communities, with high species richness and functional diversity, are less prone to biological invasions than species-poor areas either this is natural or it is a result of human activities. Complex communities with high levels of biodiversity, such as those hosted by Marine Protected Areas, should offer fewer niche opportunities (e.g. resources and space) to invasive species thereby reducing both their establishment possibilities and success (i.e. settlement and/or expansion). The present study aimed to evaluate the capacity of marine protected communities to provide a buffer against the establishment of one of the most invasive species…

L'INCLUSIONE FINANZIARIA DEGLI IMMIGRATI: LA TUTELA DEL CONSUMATORE VULNERABILE NEI SERVIZI BANCARI
2021
This book analyzes the linguistic, economic, social and religious obstacles that hinder the immigrant's financial inclusion and attempts, given the current law and referring to comparative experiences, to identify private remedies to protect these consumers. The thesis deals with the problem of linguistic risk management of the immigrant consumer with hints of behavioral law and economics and a comparative analysis, and then focus on the problems of access to credit and current accounts; lastly, it is argued the admissibility of Shari'a compliant contracts. Through a systematic analysis, this work concludes that the vulnerable consumer figure has been codified in the sectoral legislation: d…

Azione di classe a tutela dei consumatori e comportamenti anticoncorrenziali: criticità (e velleità) di un tentativo di trade-off
2018
The essay concerns the italian disciplin on the opt-in class actions, as ruled by article 140 bis of consumer code, with special reference its recourse for damages actions downstream an anticompetitive behaviour. The Author examines the main cornerstones of the collective redress mechanism, also in comparison with other foreign experiences, such as the US federal one , by focusing on its pros and cons of the domestic regime, mainly the bottleneck for the access to the remedy (the requirements for assessing whether the "class" exists or not) and the likely outcome of a equitative quantification of individual damages to be awarded. The latter, in particilular, is addressed as an embedded dete…

2020
The essay starts with a comparison between the different definitions of the concept of home restaurant proposed by experts, suppliers, home cookers, on-line platforms, and the one provided by a bill drafted during the XVII legislature. The Author describes the activity of those who offer such kind of service in the market, proposing some reflections on the nature of such activity, on the necessity of ensuring food’s health standards, on consumer’s health and wealth, on the protection of competitors professional restaurant’s cookers (if they can be considered as such), on the mechanisms through which demand and offer match together through on-line platforms, social networks or apps. These is…
Series arc faults in AC and DC electrical circuits. Characterization and detection methods
2013
This paper analyzes the problem of the arc faults in both AC and DC low voltage electrical circuits. The state-of-the-art of the arc fault detection methods is analyzed together with the UL 1699 and UL 1699B Standard requirements for protection devices against arc faults (AFCIs). An experimental characterization is carried out of the arc fault phenomenon, for both AC and DC systems, focusing the attention on series arcs. The experimental measurements are carried out on a proper test bench, which has been developed in order to reproduce significant arcing conditions, in accordance with the UL 1699 Standard requirements.
