Values created by circular solutions in the buildings sector for companies and municipalities as key actors
2016
Gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym uznawana jest za narzędzie na rzecz eliminacji lub ograniczenia odpadów i emisji, co ma prowadzić do poprawy wydajności zużycia energii i surowców podczas aktywności ludzi w życiu społeczno-gospodarczym. Jednak wdrażanie rozwiązań opartych na gospodarce o obiegu zamkniętym w sektorze budownictwa wymaga nowego podejścia, co może być postrzegane jako trudne, niewygodne lub zbyt skomplikowane, ponieważ „tradycyjne” rozwiązania wydają się łatwiejsze. Głównym celem artykułu jest określenie, jakie wartości mogą być wykreowane przez firmy doradcze dla ich klientów w sektorze budownictwa dzięki rozwiązaniom opartym na gospodarce o obiegu zamkniętym, a także, jakie spo…
Public and Private Economic Feasibility of Green Areas as a Passive Energy Measure: A Case Study in the Mediterranean City of Trapani in Southern Ita…
2022
Green infrastructure in urban environments provides a wide range of ecological, social, aesthetic, and health co-benefits. Urban plant covers in particular contribute to improved outdoor environmental conditions that, in turn, influence the energy behavior of buildings and their indoor thermo-hygrometric comfort performance. Within this context, this study illustrates a methodology aimed at verifying the economic feasibility of alternative types of green areas for public and private stakeholders, which are analyzed as passive energy measures. Therefore, our methodology integrates approaches from different disciplines and consists of a microclimatic analysis of different vegetation scenarios…
Le start-up e PMI ‘innovative’ e la loro rilevanza nella ‘Green Economy’ e nella ‘Circular Economy’: proposta per uno statuto fiscale
2022
Il contributo, muovendo dal quadro normativo e definitorio delle start-up e pmi innovative, dall'analisi dell'attuale disciplina fiscale e dalla constatazione della rilevanza che le start-up green hanno nel PNRR, elabora una sorta di statuto-fiscale per tali tipologie di imprese, identificando sei proposte normative: estendere le agevolazioni al settore “green” in linea con le previsioni del PNRR; graduare le agevolazioni fiscali in ragione della fase di sviluppo dell’azienda che riceve l’investimento (e della sua natura di impresa “green”) e consentire una maggiore deducibilità delle perdite della start-up; razionalizzare l’attuale quadro normativo delle agevolazioni fiscali per start-up e…
Music and health: Physical, mental, and emotional
2017
Music can heal, recover, and empower. This chapter elaborates on the mechanisms that explain how music serves as a means for promoting physical, mental, and emotional health, across different individuals and the multitude of everyday life situations. Music holds major potential for impacting healthrelevant aspects of human behavior such as the reward system activation, emotion regulation, stress reduction, activation of cognitive-motor behavior, and social interaction. Yet, effective utilization of the health-promoting affordances of music is also strongly dependent on the individual and contextual factors, and the chapter stresses the relevance of understanding the health-impact of music a…
Modeling cost-effectiveness and health gains of a âuniversalâ versus âprioritizedâ hepatitis C virus treatment policy in a real-life cohort
2017
We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of two alternative direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment policies in a real-life cohort of hepatitis C virusâinfected patients: policy 1, âuniversal,â treat all patients, regardless of fibrosis stage; policy 2, treat only âprioritizedâ patients, delay treatment of the remaining patients until reaching stage F3. A liver disease progression Markov model, which used a lifetime horizon and health care system perspective, was applied to the PITER cohort (representative of Italian hepatitis C virusâinfected patients in care). Specifically, 8,125 patients naive to DAA treatment, without clinical, sociodemographic, or insurance restrictions, were us…

Energy Management and Smart Grids
2013
The paper outlines energy management concepts and the smart grid evolution. The necessity of considering energy management as a crucial innovation in load supplying to permit a more powerful penetration of renewable energy usage at the building and city level and to perform energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction is pointed out. The driving factors to enhance the current power distribution are presented, and the benefits concerning smart grids are underlined. In the paper, a specific energy management analysis is reported by considering all the electric value chain, and the demand-side management and distributed on site control actions are described. To verify the benefit of energy manag…
Perceived threat or perceived benefit? Immigrants’ perception of how Finns tend to perceive them
2022
Research on how immigrants are perceived by locals has flourished extensively within the past decades. Through the lens of integrated threat theory and the threat benefit model, this study examines immigrants’ perceptions of how Finns tend to perceive them based on their lived experiences. In a sample of 103 immigrants from over 40 nationalities living in Finland, results indicate that overall, immigrants believe they are perceived more as a threat than a benefit to the Finnish society. Implications and opportunities for further research are discussed as well. peerReviewed
Katsaus kokonaisarkkitehtuurin määritelmiin ja potentiaalisiin hyötyihin
2017
Tässä systemaattisessa kirjallisuuskatsauksessa tarkastellaan kokonaisarkkitehtuurin määritelmiä ja potentiaalisia hyötyjä. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen tavoitteena on selvittää, millaisia määritelmiä kokonaisarkkitehtuurille on 2000-luvulla annettu, ja mihin määritelmiin viimeisin kokonaisarkkitehtuuria käsittelevä kirjallisuus viittaa. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen tulosten mukaan kokonaisarkkitehtuurille on annettu lukuisia määritelmiä, ja myös viimeisin aihetta käsittelevä kirjallisuus viittaa useisiin eri määritelmiin. Kokonaisarkkitehtuurin määritelmiä tarkastellaan ja niistä esitetään ontologinen integraatio, jonka mukaan kokonaisarkkitehtuuri kuvaa tai on toimintaa, jossa kuvataan organisaation …
