L’arcipelago territoriale delle Aree Interne: verso nuove forme di economia, società e sviluppo locale
2017
L’attuale fase di transizione dei modelli economici sta provocando fasi di instabilità, necessità di cambiamento/aggiornamento/adattamento nella sfera economica, nei processi di sviluppo e innovazione, nello stile di vita delle società e dei cittadini, nelle città e nei territori rurali. Questa instabilità si sta verificando sia nelle città sia nei territori interni caratterizzati da perdita demografica, elevato indice di invecchiamento e incapacità di soddisfare le nuove esigenze del mercato. Le Aree Interne rappresentano, pertanto, quei territori in cui un ripensamento del rapporto territorio/produzione nonché degli strumenti e delle politiche da attivare è sempre più impellente per la lo…
Determinants of educational advancement of rural areas in Poland
2017
Celem artykułu jest próba diagnozy i oceny stanu (postaci) wykształcenia ludności na obszarach wiejskich w Polsce, określanego mianem awansu edukacyjnego oraz uwarunkowań jego kształtowania (tło). Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na wzrost znaczenia wykształcenia w kształtowaniu sukcesu zawodowego, zmiany aspiracji edukacyjnych dzieci i ich wsparcia ze strony rodziców, a także korzystne dla wsi dodatnie saldo migracji wewnętrznych. Wprawdzie porównania w tym obszarze z sytuacją w miastach są nadal dla wsi mniej korzystne, ale poprawa charakterystyk staje się wyznacznikiem destygmatyzacji wiejskości i ograniczania marginalizacji polskiej wsi, zwłaszcza w warunkach wewnętrznych migracji na obszary w…
New Metropolitan Perspectives Transition with Resilience for Evolutionary Development
2023
This open access book conveys attention to the theme of transition towards resilience and sustainability and its evolutionary perspective that emphasizes the complexity and uncertainty that governments and society are called to address in response to the ongoing challenges. "New Metropolitan Perspective Post COVID Dynamics: Green and Digital Transition, between Metropolitan and Return to Villages’ Perspectives”, 25–27 May 2022, Reggio Calabria, Italy. The papers included in the book are grouped around the following main topics: the envisaged transition towards resilience and sustainability; the relevance of the planning dimension for defining sustainable development pathways and managing co…

Regional concentration of university graduates : The role of high school grades and parental background
2020
In this paper, we analyse long-term changes in the regional distribution and migration flows of university graduates in Finland and Sweden. This study is based on detailed longitudinal population register data, including information on high school grades and parental background. We find a distinct pattern of skill divergence across regions in both countries over the last 3 decades. The uneven distribution of human capital has been reinforced by the mobility patterns of university graduates, for whom regional sorting by high school grades and parental background is evident. Our findings indicate that traditional measures of human capital concentration most likely underscore actual regional …
The Peripheri-City of the Inner Areas: Local Development in the Sicani Territory
2018
The inner peripheries are now subject to territorial and social metamorphosis in the sense that they are returning to be attractive places for younger generations through the rediscovery of the potential that they offer in terms of esources and propensity to change. Characterised by an ev-ergrowing number of bottom-up innovation experiences of both traditional crafts and agricultural production, and with abandoned sites in social and cultural places having been recovered, thus allowing the rediscovery the sense of sharing and conviviality typical of these places in the past to be rediscovered, these sites presently need to be discussed, described, and thought of in a new way. The experience…

Comparison of the Properties of Activated Carbons Produced in One-Stage and Two-Stage Processes
2018
Activated carbons (ACs) can be produced from biomass in a thermal process either in a direct carbonization-activation process or by first carbonizing the biomass and later activating the bio-chars into activated carbons. The properties of the ACs are dependent on the type of process used for production. In this study, the properties of activated carbons produced in one-stage and two-stage processes are considered. Activated carbons were produced by physical activation of two types of starting materials: bio chars produced from spruce and birch chips in a commercial carbonization plant and from the corresponding raw chips. The activated carbons produced were characterized regarding specific …
Spontaneous urban weeds: a resource against environmental pollution
2022
Quality of the environment and social well-being, both at a collective and individual level, are closely interrelated issues. It is, in fact, a relationship that invests values of primary importance, such as those relating to human health and safety, heritage and resources to be passed on to future generations. Plant growth and survival can be challenged by harsh urban conditions. Many studies show the persistence of endemic species in built-up areas and document the ecosystem services provided. With this research we wanted to investigate the bioaccumulation of heavy metals such as cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), molibden (Mo), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mer…
