Biogeographic patterns of base-rich fen vegetation across Europe

2014

International audience; Questions: What is the distribution of base-rich fen vegetation and the specia- list species along European biogeographic regions? How do the gradients in spe- cies composition correlate to geography and climate at continental scale? What are the implications of such patterns for the classification of these habitats?Location: Fifteen countries of Central, Western and Northern Europe.Methods: We compiled a vegetation plot database of base-rich fens and related communities including vascular plants and bryophytes. The initial data set with 6943 plots was filtered according to the presence of specialists using discriminant analysis. We used DCA to analyse the correlatio…

Exploring the practical framework of a multicultural music therapy group for children with emotional and behavioral needs in an after-school setting

2016

Research shows that music therapy is effective in addressing therapeutic goals for groups of children with emotional and behavioral needs. However, most of the current research focuses on behavioral approaches to music therapy with children, and lacks in-depth explanations of practical frameworks surrounding the process (i.e., organizing, planning and implementing a group) for non-directive children’s music therapy groups focused on emotional and behavioral needs in the school setting. The following case study explores the practical framework surrounding a multicultural music therapy group for children with emotional and behavioral needs at an elementary school in Jyväskylä, Finland. The ma…

Spunti critici sull’aggiornamento della normativa europea in tema di qualità dell’aria

2022

This paper aims at presenting an argument in favour of the need for a prompt update of the European legislation on air quality, by taking its cue from the current situation in Italy. The paper starts by providing a definition of outdoor air pollution and by referring to the most influential Italian scientific studies on the main health risks connected. The perspective then shifts to the analysis of the relevant legislation at both European and national level in an attempt to systematically recompose the complex framework of plans and regulations adopted for the containment and prevention of outdoor pollution. In this framework, the analysis of the three infringement procedures opened agains…

Cost optimal analysis of lighting retrofit scenarios in educational buildings in Italy

2017

Abstract The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) recast proposes, a comparative methodology to calculate cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings. This paper presents a method able to select the best retrofit action for lighting system, selectively analysing the daylight conditions and applying the cost-optimal methodology for different scenarios proposed for two existing educational buildings located in Italy. With the aim to improve both energy efficient and visual comfort conditions, the retrofit scenarios include lighting solutions with different combinations. They consider the replacement of lamps with more efficient lighting so…

Cost that is Directly Incurred as a Result of Operating the Train Service on the 1520 mm Rail with Primarily Freight Transportation

2016

AbstractUnder the Directive 2012/34/EU (21 November 2012) “the charges for … [rail] infrastructure … shall be set at the cost that is directly incurred as a result of operating the train service”. This charging rule is new for Baltic States’ railways, where due to the favorable geographic position a full cost application without detalization was possible. Although, a big number of relevant studies on the issue was made in EU, all of them covered only 1435mm railways with primarily passenger transportation. This study has been made in order to understand the impact of train operating on 1520mm rail infrastructure with primarily freight transportation.A gradual model of infrastructure chargin…

Il coinvolgimento di soci e stakeholders nella determinazione delle remunerazioni degli amministratori. Prime riflessioni alla luce della proposta di…

2016

L'articolo analizza la disciplina delle remunerazioni degli amministratori delle società quotate europee dettata dalla recente proposta di direttiva modificativa della Shareholder Rights Directive, soffermandosi, in particolare, sulle modalità di coinvolgimento dei soci e degli stakeholders nel relativo procedimento decisionale. Alla luce dell'analisi svolta, appare opportuna la previsione, contenuta nel testo della proposta di direttiva, di un'obbligatoria consultazione assembleare - a valenza anche meramente consultiva - avente ad oggetto la politica remunerativa e la successiva relazione annuale sui compensi, nell'ottica della prevenzione dell'endemico conflitto d'interessi che caratteri…

Early warning on insolvency in the European Union law

2020

Rapid diagnosis of the risk of an entrepreneur’s insolvency is of great importance for the socio-economic environment. This issue is of particular importance in the context of the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The insolvency resulting in the announced bankruptcy brings a lot of harm to the debtors themselves (their shareholders), creditors and the entire economy. A much better solution is the restructuring of the debtor. For the purposes of predicting insolvency can be used Artificial Intelligence although traditional methods are also in use. For these reasons, in European Union law, the Restructuring Directive focuses on the anticipation of debtor’s insolvency. The text…

Current status and development of sanitation and wastewater treatment in the national and international context

2012

El acceso al saneamiento y depuración de aguas residuales es un aspecto de suma importancia tanto desde el punto de vista ambiental como sanitario. Por ello, desde el Imperio Mesopotámico hasta la actualidad se han producido importantes avances en esta materia. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, en la mayoría de los países en vías de desarrollo el acceso al saneamiento continua siendo deficitario. Por otra parte, los países desarrollados, que sí disponen de sistemas adecuados de depuración de aguas residuales, se enfrentan al reto de mejorar la sostenibilidad de estos sistemas. En este trabajo se describe en profundidad el estado actual y evolución en el tiempo del saneamiento y depuración de a…

Web payments have created a whole industry around them in the last decade where sensitive data is moved around and where security is one of the key concepts. On top of internal facilities, members of the EU are regulated by EU directives of which the second will be taken to legislation by the start of year 2017. It forces the banks to open interfaces that allow third parties to use web shop customers banking credentials in order to initiate payments. Second directive on payment services brings up a set of web security hazards that have yet to be studied. In this thesis a literature review is made on web payment security.
