Piattaforme oil and gas e sviluppo turistico: evidenze da una analisi esplorativa sull’accettabilità del decommissioning circolare
2022
Lo studio propone una lettura dell’accettabilità sociale del decommissioning circolare delle piattaforme oil and gas a fini di sviluppo turistico con una particolare attenzione alle installazioni presenti in Italia. Esso mostra come: 1) il pubblico riconosca un certo potenziale di riutilizzo turistico delle piattaforme; 2) l’accettabilità sociale sia ostacolata da distorsioni percettive; 3) la modifica di tali percezioni richiedano compiute policy di marketing sociale. This study focuses on the social acceptability of oil and gas platforms circular decommissioning and its potential for tourism development purposes, especially in Italy. It shows how: 1) the public acknowledges potential for …
LUX VERA. Munifici committenti e argentieri palermitani dal barocco al neoclassicismo a Castelbuono e a Geraci Siculo
2020
Il contributo, che fa parte del catalogo della mostra, esamina alcune le suppellettili liturgiche conservate nei Tesori della Chiesa Madre di Geraci Siculo e della Matrice Nuova di Castelbuono e nel Museo Civico di quest’ultimo centro siciliano. Si tratta di opere in argento, in discreto stato di conservazione, commissionate perlopiù dai munifici Ventimiglia, signori del luogo. Sono manufatti realizzati da argentieri siciliani dagli inizi del Seicento sino all’Ottocento, quindi dal periodo barocco al neoclassicismo. I preziosi manufatti, che attestano la devozione delle due comunità montane della provincia di Palermo, vengono raffrontati con altre opere conservate in diversi Tesori dell’Iso…
Le suppellettili liturgiche dalla fine del Quattrocento agli anni Settanta Ottanta del Settecento
2016
Il contributo fa parte di un volume interamente dedicato ai monili, alle suppellettili liturgiche in argento e ai parati sacri conservati nei Tesori delle chiese di Petralia Soprana, centro delle alte Madonie appartenente alla Diocesi di Cefalù. Le opere esaminate nel libro si rivelano del tutto originali poiché permettono di inoltrarsi in un periodo della storia dell’arte in Sicilia che va dal Trecento all’Ottocento. Il saggio, ad esempio, indaga i preziosi manufatti realizzati dalla fine del Quattrocento agli anni Settanta del Settecento. Si tratta di suppellettili liturgiche commissionate da prelati, nobili e fedeli e realizzate da argentieri messinesi, catanesi e soprattutto palermitani…
Tackling Online Disinformation. The Construction of 'Trustworthiness' and 'Best Practices' in the European Commission Discourse on COVID-19
2022
Over the last few decades, misleading healthcare information and deceptions with false claims, conspiracy theories (CTs) and consumer fraud have endangered public health on a global scale. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by a substantial flow of false information and unceasing attempts by conspirators to influence debates in the official discourses, breeding on the fertile ground of people’s most basic anxieties and the present-day social and economic uncertainty. This paper investigates the discourse of the European Commission on disinformation in order to achieve institutional legitimation through the linguistic and discursive construction of ‘trustworthiness’, ‘…
Teologiczny dialog rzymskokatolicko-prawosławny: stan i perspektywy
2018
Roman Catholic-Orthodox dialogue, due to the doctrinal similitude of both ecclesial traditions, raises the greatest hopes as to unification in faith and in church teachings. Over nearly four hundred years of work by the Joint Commission for the theological dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church on the global scene, it has born much good fruit. For the dialogue to be initiated, the Churches had to pass through enormous transformation, both mental and spiritual. The point was for them to rediscover each other as sisterly Churches. Establishing Joint Commission for the theological dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church (November 30,1979) …
Subalternidad y prácticas feministas en América Latina: 47ª Sesión de la Comisión sobre Población y Desarrollo
2016
En esta investigación, el uso de los conceptos y reflexiones derivados de los estudios subalternos y decoloniales son aplicados al feminismo latinoamericano actual con el objetivo de estudiar la relación intrínseca que se produce entre clase, género y etnia. Este artículo se propone reflexionar a través de la genealogía del concepto de subalternidad propuesto por Antonio Gramsci y trabajado más tarde por Gayatri Spivak desde una perspectiva postcolonial y feminista. De esta manera, se realiza un seguimiento del papel de las mujeres en la teorización sobre las culturas populares llegando a los grupos de estudios subalternos de Latinoamérica y los planteamientos de Mary Nash. Para este anális…
Administrative legitimacy and the democratic deficit of the European Union
2017
This article suggests a new concept of measurement for the EU’s oft-alleged democratic deficit based on two contributions. First, we turn attention to the administrative staff involved in policy-making rather than the (un)accountability of EUs’ parliamentarians and executive agents. Second, building on the idea that policy-makers’ legitimacy depends on the extent to which they can claim to represent some groups or social interests, we assess the extent to which Commission officials’ preferences reflect European citizens’ policy stance. Our results indicate a statistically significant positive correlation between the policy preferences of EU administrative staff and their home country popula…
Remdesivir for the Treatment of Hospitalised Patients with COVID-19 (DisCoVeRy): A Randomised, Controlled, Open-Label Trial
2021
Background: The antiviral efficacy of remdesivir is still controversial. We aimed at evaluating its clinical effectiveness in patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen and/or ventilator support. Methods: In this European multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, randomised, controlled trial in adults hospitalised with COVID-19 (DisCoVeRy, NCT04315948; EudraCT2020-000936-23), participants were randomly allocated to receive usual standard of care alone or in combination with intravenous remdesivir (200 mg on day 1, then 100 mg once-daily for 9 days or until discharge). Treatment assignation was performed via web-based randomisation stratified on illness severity and administrative European regio…
