Digital knowledge sharing and creative performance: Work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic
2021
Abstract The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social distancing requirements have led to major disruptions in the world of work. The outcomes of the enforced and large-scale work from home (WFH) practices are currently largely unexplored. This study aims to address this gap in the research by investigating the external and internal digital knowledge sharing (DKS) and creative performance (CP) of employees under these extraordinary circumstances. The social capital theory was utilized as the theoretical lens for examining the associations of DKS and CP with demographic, individual, and organizational factors. An online cross-sectional survey was carried out among knowledge…
La percezione dei docenti di insegnamento-apprendimento nel periodo emergenziale COVID-19: una ricerca nella Scuola Siciliana
2021
La didattica a distanza nel periodo di emergenza COVID-19 ha rappresentato una novità senza precedenti cui docenti e studenti non erano preparati. L’indagine sull'esperienza di 1364 insegnanti siciliani ha consentito di raccogliere informazioni sulle strategie organizzative e didattiche attivate, sulle criticità e sulla valutazione dell'efficacia didattica degli interventi effettuati.

La ricerca nasce dal desiderio di accrescere la consapevolezza dei docenti. Conoscere gli effett…

Consumers' eating habits during the Covid-19 pandemic: Evidence of an experimental analysis in Italy.
2021
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Italian food supply chain responded to the needs of consumers by giving continuity to the supply of food products even if the Italian food system in the first phase of lockdown had to deal with the anxiety of consumers who rushed to the food stores to "clear the shelves ".

The influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on Czech-Polish cross-border cooperation: From debordering to re-bordering?
2021
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to social behaviours in Europe. One of its major consequences was the temporary closure of borders, which was introduced as a measure to prevent the uncontrolled pandemic spreading and involved internal Schengen borders. This has had a major impact in the way in which cross-border cooperation has been conducted in Europe, including the Czech-Polish borderland, as it dramatically restrained all flows across borders. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the pandemic on five roles of cross-border cooperation: 1) as a multi-level governance form; 2) as a regional development tool; 3) as a para-diplomacy form; 4) as a post-conflict reconcil…
A look into the future of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe : an expert consultation
2021
How will the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic develop in the coming months and years? Based on an expert survey, we examine key aspects that are likely to influence COVID-19 in Europe. The future challenges and developments will strongly depend on the progress of national and global vaccination programs, the emergence and spread of variants of concern, and public responses to nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). In the short term, many people are still unvaccinated, VOCs continue to emerge and spread, and mobility and population mixing is expected to increase over the summer. Therefore, policies that lift restrictions too much and too early risk another damaging wave. This ch…
