Peut-on concilier un faible usage de pesticides, une bonne performance économique et environnementale ? Analyse d’un réseau national de fermes de dém…
2017
Feeding an increasing world population with a sustainable agriculture is one of the greatest challenges of this century. The reduction of the reliance on pesticides is a critical aspect in this quest for sustainability. Whether cropping systems with reduced reliance on pesticides would be able to reconcile the various components of sustainability remains however a matter of debate. Are they as productive and profitable than current mainstream cropping systems? Here the objective is to study the feasibility of a reduced reliance on pesticides in France. We used a unique dataset from a national network of more than thousand arable commercial farms between 2009 and 2011. Launched in the framew…
Employer brand management: methodological aspects
2021
У статті обгрунтовано необхідність залучення зовнішніх ресурсів для управління брендом роботодавця. У роботі авторами було схематизовано процес прийняття рішення щодо обгрунтованого вибору компаній аутсорсерів. При цьому сформовано систему критеріїв здійснення такого вибору, що включає як вимоги до компанії-аутсорсера, так і вимоги до майбутнього проекту: рівень вдалих попередніх проектів; рівень задоволеності клієнтів; досвід роботи в Україні; середня вартість послуг аутсорсингової компанії з розробки проекту; термін розробки проекту; комплексність розроблених рекомендацій щодо просування бренду роботодавця; термін дії проекту; гнучкість проекту; рівень складності впровадження проекту; сер…
Els reptes de les publicacions científiques espanyoles en el desenvolupament de l'Europa del coneixement
2010
Les publicacions científiques s’estan veient afectades per les transformacions que s’han produit en l’última dècada a partir de la creació del EEES y EEI. Un dels objectius prioritaris de la Unió Europea és aconseguir una Europa del coneixement vertebrada per l’activitat universitària. En aquest context, les publicacions científiques juguen un paper destacat com exponent de la producció científica i mitjà autoritzat de difusió. No obstant, l’activitat científica europea mesurada mitjançant les publicacions especialitzades no arriba als nivells en què es troben els seus competidors més directes, Estats Units i Japó (principalment en biomedicina i ciències de les materials, respectivament).

Teologia w poszukiwaniu kryteriów prawdziwości religii
2020
Celem niniejszego przedłożenia jest wypracowanie kryteriologii umożliwiającej ocenę roszczeń prawdziwościowych poszczególnych religii oraz odróżnienie autentycznych religii od zjawisk pseudoreligijnych. Ze względu na złożoność problematyki ukazano najpierw tło historyczne zagadnienia oraz zwrócono uwagę na jego współczesny kontekst. W kolejnym kroku przeanalizowano istotne dla kryteriologii religii pojęcia. Należą do nich: „prawda”, „prawdziwość”, „religia” oraz „prawdziwość religii”. Poważnym wyzwaniem dla teologii jest dziś zjawisko relatywizmu, kwestionujące istnienie uniwersalnych standardów racjonalności, a w konsekwencji zaprzeczające możliwości utworzenia powszechnie obowiązujących k…
The Circularity of MSW in Urban Landscapes: An Evaluation Method for a Sustainable System Implementation
2022
The debate on the sustainable perspective of a circular economy and MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) management is no longer focused on the resolution of an emergency and on the pure technicality of creating efficient services. New light has been shed on the operational phase, as often unresolvable technical-environmental issues during service management lead to a state of decay, affecting urban vulnerability and users’ involvement. The research aims to develop an auxiliary tool for public administrations in planning a zero-waste future whilst enhancing the urban landscape. This study considers the perspective of virtuous management of the resource flow cycle along with evaluating implementable …
Standardization of Road Danger Signs in the European Union
2015
The aim of this research is to find a solution for the standardization of road signs in the EU zone by a comparative analysis of different national sign systems to establish a common set from a single country. This work is based on the idea that road sign standardization might increase the safety level of transnational journeys and foster the relationships among the various members of the EU Community. This paper presents the outcome of the first step of the research, which focuses on the harmonization of danger signs. In more detail, a multicriteria approach is applied to rank 19 EU Member States on the basis of three main aspects: the installation cost of new signs, new sign learning issu…
Just transition principles and criteria for food systems and beyond
2022
In this article, we propose a framework of principles and criteria for just transitions in food systems. Climate mitigation activities are urgently needed in food systems, but can have damaging social, environmental, economic, and health impacts. Consequently, food system transitions can cause significant side effects across and beyond food systems, aggravating existing inequalities and unsustainabilities, causing new ones, or hampering equal engagement in the transition itself. Thus, justice questions stand at the core of assessing decarbonization pathways and policies and must link to other sectors as well: Who bears the costs and who enjoys the benefits of the transitions? Can transition…
Corporate responsibility in the food chain: The criteria and indicators
2012
Corporate responsibility (CR) is becoming a key issue in the food chain. In order to make sense of this phenomenon, a seminal aper by Maloni and Brown (2006) called for further empirical investigation on the criteria of responsibility in the food supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to answer the call by identifying the criteria for defining CR and develop indicators for measuring the responsibility performance of the food chain. The study was based on interactive and participatory stakeholder dialogues with diverse experts, corporate representatives and other stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governmental bodies. Through an iterative research process w…
La valutazione multicriteriale del saggio di capitalizzazione per la revisione del catasto degli immobili
2012
Il riferimento teorico economico dei procedimenti tradizionali di stima immobiliare è il modello di mercato perfettamente concorrenziale, in cui il valore di un bene può derivarsi dal prezzo di un altro bene analogo, in virtù del principio di sostituzione dei simili e della legge di indifferenza dei prezzi. Nella pratica estimativa, si riscontra una certa difficoltà nell’individuazione di appropriati beni con cui costruire un campione di riferimento per la stima e la mancata corrispondenza fra i prezzi di beni anche identici in contesti di mercato molto ristretti rende più complicato il processo di derivazione del valore di un bene da un altro. La revisione del catasto immobiliare che il go…
