I segni parlano. Prospettive di ricerca sulla Lingua dei Segni Italiana
2008
I segni parlano perché cominciano a farsi più visibili nella società italiana: le ricerche sulla Lingua dei Segni Italiana (LIS) – avviate in modo sistematico in Italia dagli inizi degli anni ‘80 – sono aumentate rispetto a diversi anni fa, così come è aumentata la consapevolezza dell’importanza di questa lingua, non solo per le persone sorde. È una lingua infatti che sempre più persone – familiari, amici e colleghi di persone sorde, operatori, insegnanti, studenti – desiderano apprendere ed utilizzare non solo per necessità ma per avvicinarsi a nuove modalità comunicative. Una lingua che purtroppo ancora oggi sente il peso del pregiudizio e fatica a liberarsi di quel senso di inferiorità r…

Stakeholder salience for small businesses : a social proximity perspective
2017
This paper advances stakeholder salience theory from the viewpoint of small businesses. It is argued that the stakeholder salience process for small businesses is influenced by their local embeddedness, captured by the idea of social proximity, and characterised by multiple relationships that the owner-manager and stakeholders share beyond the business context. It is further stated that the ethics of care is a valuable ethical lens through which to understand social proximity in small businesses. The contribution of the study conceptualises how the perceived social proximity between local stakeholders and small business owner-managers influences managerial considerations of the legitimacy, …
Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility in the e-Economy: A Commentary
2002
The paper addresses the concepts of business ethics and corporate social responsibility in the old vis-à-vis the new economy. The effects of globalization and its impact on the transition from the industrial to the digital era are explored. Although the behaviour of business organizations has always had a profound worldwide impact, with the decline of the nation state economic power has, for the first time, eroded political power. Simultaneously, the undergoing revolution in contemporary information and communication technologies has significantly empowered the customer. Responding to enhanced customer awareness and sensitivity to business and social responsibility issues -coupled with cons…
Private health insurance in the universal public healthcare system: The role of healthcare provision in Finland
2023
Voluntary private health insurance (VPHI) has gained popularity in universal public healthcare systems. We studied how the local provision of healthcare services correlated with VPHI take-up in Finland. Nationwide register data from a Finnish insurance company was aggregated to the local level and augmented with high-quality data on public and private primary care providers’ geographical closeness and fees. We found that the sociodemographic characteristics explained the VPHI take-up more than public or private healthcare provision. The VPHI take-up was negatively associated with distance to the nearest private clinic, while the associations with distance to public health stations were stat…
La sospensione del processo esecutivo
2012
Le riforme del 2005 - 2006 e del 2009 hanno dato, probabilmente, luogo ad una evoluzione concettuale dell’istituto della sospensione del processo esecutivo, dall’originaria forma “speculare” alle sospensioni del processo di cognizione verso un modello affine ai provvedimenti cautelari anticipatori. L’indagine muove da un esame dei precedenti storici dell’istituto, dal codice di procedura civile del 1865, seguendo la sua evoluzione (anche con riferimento ai progetti di riforma poi abbandonati) fino al codice del 1940 ed alle successive riforme.
La evolución de la estructura básica de servicios sociales en la Comunitat Valenciana
2012
El sistema de servicios sociales constituye el IV pilar del Estado del Bienestar. Es fundamental su consolidación para la ciudadanía en una sociedad cada vez más vulnerable por los cambios experimentados en las sociedades postmodernas. Es un sistema muy joven, que se ha desarrollado extraordinariamente en 30 años, sin embargo, adolece de numerosas debilidades. En este artículo analizamos su desarrollo y la sostenibilidad social, medida en ratios profesionales, cobertura y accesibilidad social. The social service system constitutes the fourth pillar of the welfare state. Consolidation is essential for citizens in a society increasingly vulnerable by the changes in postmodern societies.
