Economical Analysis of Financial Supports for Large-Scale Photovoltaic PV plants in Eastern Europeen Union Countries
2010
Today, photovoltaic (PV) attracts considerable interest among renewable energy sources (RES), because of its potential to significantly contribute to the future of clean energies. However, PV development is strongly related to the support policies introduced by national governments. The modification or fading out of such support schemes can strongly influence the development of the PV market in any given country. Although the PV market in European developing countries is still quite small, it has been growing rapidly in recent years. Until 2006, the installation of small off-grid PV plants prevailed in eastern EU countries. Starting from 2008, large-scale on-grid PV plants have been put int…
South-eastern Sicily: a counterfactual post-metropolis
2017
Postmetropolis is an ambitious term that could be summarized as the "postmodern metropolis." With it Edward W. Soja (2000) aims to define the globalized city that he supposes to be involved in a radical transition process that began with the post-modern city. In relation to these considerations, the article explores the post-metropolitan profile of South-eastern Sicily through: a socio-economic outlook describing the characteristics of demography, employment and income in this part of Sicily; a spatial analysis of housing and land use; and finally an institutional description of the administrative state of the art in Syracuse, Ragusa and their surroundings. Each section describes the most c…
Il marginalismo giuridico di Gaetano Filangieri
2009
This work aims at presenting the elements of marginalist analysis which occur in the thought of Gaetano Filangieri. In the pages of La Scienza della Legislazione the Neapolitan writer shows the tendency to develop a utilitarian investigation which pays attention to the judgements individuals make over social phenomena at the margin point. A proof of this tendency can be found in the explanation of the principle of decreasing marginal utility, argued in Head XXXI of Book III, which represents one of the most effective demonstrations that can be found before the end of XIX century literature. The most remarkably original fact is that, of all the five parts which compose the Filangierian work,…
Adam Smith and The Law
2013
The law is one of the main subjects in Adam Smith’s studies. He deals with it in the Lectures of Jurisprudence (LJ) and in the Wealth of the Nations (WN) and his ethical and philosophical premises are exposed in the Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS). This interest in law is consistent with enlightenment culture which aspired to elaborate a great Science of Legislation in order to have enough knowledge to reform society and replace the Ancien Régime institutions with new ones able to support the course of progress and improve the life of the people. Yet, Smithian thought, while sharing the cultural aim of his age, is divergent from Juridical Enlightenment in many ways. I explain this divergen…
Recupero sostenibile nel centro storico di Petralia Soprana: strategie per il retrofit energetico.
2013
The valorization of building in the historical centers of limited territorial environment, such as the ones in the Madonie’s Park, represents a requirement of mountain communities, which are the witnesses of a gradual abandonment of historical buildings, representative of the local cultural heritage, mainly because they are inadequate to ensure indoor comfort. Also for the recovery of these buildings, technological, energy and economic issues have to be evaluated, compatibly with the historical value. In particular this urban area, typical of the Madonie’s Park, is an architectural, historical and material heritage that merges with the natural and scenic values of the area, representing the…

However in relation to conditions of economic crisis. In the same context is presented and analyzed the dictum of Nouriel Roubini, who said: “Stop austerity in the crisis!”. So, this paper analyzes “austerity vs crisis”,“insolvency - good or bad?” and “Sustainable Development” too.
Techno-economic analysis of a membrane filtration process for the phenolic compound extraction
2016
In this paper the economical feasibility of a system based on the membrane filtration process for the phenolic compound extraction and the subsequent polyphenolic enrichment of the olive oil, have been assessed. In particular, the analysis of the investment profitability of a case study was presented to determine the optimal incremental price of the olive oil obtained by the enrichment process
Telemedicine: Economic and clinical evaluation of the management of ischemic stroke
2017
Summary Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is a therapeutic emergency that requires prompt care in a stroke unit (SU). In order to reduce regional inequalities and to promote uniformity in access to this technique, which is effective when carried out quickly, telemedicine-assisted thrombolysis was developed in Burgundy within the Telestroke system. At the moment, no study compared costs (i.e. expenditures) and revenues (i.e. funding) associated with the management of patients presenting an IS in Burgundy after the implementation of the Telestroke system according to the management strategy: patients undergoing thrombolysis directly in a SU or Tele-thrombolysis in a local hospital (LH) receiv…
Nouveaux enjeux pour l'école moyenne en Afrique
2005
05113; On constate aujourd'hui une augmentation massive de la scolarité des 12-16 ans dans les pays africains en développement. Ce phénomène est lié au développement voulu et obtenu des scolarités primaires.Pour diverses raisons, l'école moyenneconstitue un cycle terminal pour la grande majorité des enfants qui la fréquentent. Son organisation actuelle, telle qu'on peut l'observer dans différents pays, est cependant très proche du collège secondaire français et donc inapte à fournir le cadre adéquat pour un cycle terminal générateur de progrès économiques et sociaux.Bâti sur cette problématique de l'articulation entre les flux d'élèves, les contenus pédagogiques et les modalités d'organisat…
The cost advantage of Sicilian wine farms
2013
This study presents the results of research carried out on a Sicilian wine farm in order to demonstrat e the economic convenience of the mechanized harvest. After the determination of the minimum optimal farm size that justifies the introduction of grape harve ster in the farm, it has been estimated production cost and the relative profitability of two wine grape cultiv ars (Chardonnay and Nero d’Avola), comparing three hypotheses of harvest: manual, with farm property g rape harvester and with rented grape harvester. The economic analysis shows that the introduction of th e grape harvester in the wine farm is justified in large sized farms. However, even in small farms the use o f rented g…
