Exploring problems associated with the sharing economy
2018
As the sharing economy has become more popular, its problems are discussed increasingly. However, these discussions are often confusing because there are multiple definitions for the sharing economy, and the discourse does not usually specify which definition it is based on. Therefore, the actors may be wrongfully accused of problems that do not concern them, only because they are perceived as belonging to the sharing economy. We aim to clarify this discussion by creating a framework that maps specific problem discourses to specific actors and stakeholder groups. We create a framework based on a review of the academic literature in which the sharing economy is delineated into smaller market…
Consequences of the Digital Economy : Transformation of the Growth Concept
2018
The digital economy is transforming the traditional concepts of economic growth.The recent reversal trend in GDP growth of ICT leaders can be attributed to effective utilization of soft innovation resources in Finland and adherence to traditional resources in Singapore.Confronting a productivity decline in the digital economy, global information and communication technology (ICT) leaders are transforming business models into those with uncaptured GDP creation. This can be attributed tothe harnessing soft innovation resourcesagainst a productivity decline. This in turn activates a self-propagating function and induces supra-functionality beyond economic value corresponding to a shift in peop…
Values created by circular solutions in the buildings sector for companies and municipalities as key actors
2016
Gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym uznawana jest za narzędzie na rzecz eliminacji lub ograniczenia odpadów i emisji, co ma prowadzić do poprawy wydajności zużycia energii i surowców podczas aktywności ludzi w życiu społeczno-gospodarczym. Jednak wdrażanie rozwiązań opartych na gospodarce o obiegu zamkniętym w sektorze budownictwa wymaga nowego podejścia, co może być postrzegane jako trudne, niewygodne lub zbyt skomplikowane, ponieważ „tradycyjne” rozwiązania wydają się łatwiejsze. Głównym celem artykułu jest określenie, jakie wartości mogą być wykreowane przez firmy doradcze dla ich klientów w sektorze budownictwa dzięki rozwiązaniom opartym na gospodarce o obiegu zamkniętym, a także, jakie spo…
AVOCADO PEELS AND SEEDS FROM HASS VARIETIES: FROM INDUSTRIAL BY-PRODUCTS TO CIRCULAR REUSE
2023
From a sustainable progress perspective, the circular economy model is widely used today. One of the main purposes of last years is to valorize wastes of agri-food industries, as new sources of bioactive components, from the approach of a circular and biorefinery economy both for environmental and economic reasons. Avocado (Persea americana cv Hass) seeds and peels are an example of promising bio-sustainability raw materials with a high nutritional value that can be obtained from industrial byproducts. The objective of this work was to study also chemical qualities of avocado peels and seeds. Avocado peel and seeds samples from fruit collected in Sicily were dried in a convective hot-air dr…
Nuovi modelli formativi per gli insegnanti in un’ottica di green economy: una riflessione sulla scuola multiculturale
2022
Il contributo propone un’ipotesi di ricerca pedagogica, con elementi teorici e metodologici, per le scuole multiculturali al fine di dar vita ad attività educative, formative e di orientamento per giovani migranti, mirate alla transizione ecologica. Il tutto dovrà realizzarsi in un’ottica di alleanza educativa con le famiglie di origine, ove presenti sul territorio ospitante, e le comunità di accoglienza. L’Agenda 2030, adottata dalla comunità internazionale nel 2015 per lo sviluppo sostenibile, pone le odierne migrazioni come “elemento fondamentale dello sviluppo sostenibile”. In tal senso, il PNR - Programma Nazionale per la Ricerca 2021-2027, nell’articolazione 8 dell'ambito di ricerca e…
Le start-up e PMI ‘innovative’ e la loro rilevanza nella ‘Green Economy’ e nella ‘Circular Economy’: proposta per uno statuto fiscale
2022
Il contributo, muovendo dal quadro normativo e definitorio delle start-up e pmi innovative, dall'analisi dell'attuale disciplina fiscale e dalla constatazione della rilevanza che le start-up green hanno nel PNRR, elabora una sorta di statuto-fiscale per tali tipologie di imprese, identificando sei proposte normative: estendere le agevolazioni al settore “green” in linea con le previsioni del PNRR; graduare le agevolazioni fiscali in ragione della fase di sviluppo dell’azienda che riceve l’investimento (e della sua natura di impresa “green”) e consentire una maggiore deducibilità delle perdite della start-up; razionalizzare l’attuale quadro normativo delle agevolazioni fiscali per start-up e…
GREEN ECONOMY - THE ECONOMY OF THE FUTURE
2013
This paper defines the concept of "green economy", presents the main international organizations that deal the green economy. Are provided details of the most significant principles, objectives and actions of the concept of green economy. At the European level there is "The 2020 strategy ", which shows that Europe's economy should be an economy that knows how to manage resources efficiently and reduce carbon emissions. There are currently a number of basic laws for the green economy. Forest ecosystems are part of the green economy and the forest products industry are very important because they are renewable, recyclable and biodegradable. Thus forests are a fundament of the green economy, t…
The Application of Supercritical Fluids Technology to Recover Healthy Valuable Compounds from Marine and Agricultural Food Processing By-Products: A …
2021
Food by-products contain a remarkable source of bioactive molecules with many benefits for humans; therefore, their exploitation can be an excellent opportunity for the food sector. Moreover, the revalorization of these by-products to produce value-added compounds is considered pivotal for sustainable growth based on a circular economy. Traditional extraction technologies have several drawbacks mainly related to the consumption of hazardous organic solvents, and the high temperatures maintained for long extraction periods which cause the degradation of thermolabile compounds as well as a low extraction efficiency of desired compounds. In this context, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) ha…
Green growth: regioni italiane a confronto
2015
La ripresa economica e l'interesse verso le problematiche ambientali sono oggetto di studio da parte di molti paesi e organismi internazionali con l'obiettivo di definire un sentiero di sviluppo incentrato su una "crescita verde" (green growth). Economia, ambiente e società sono gli elementi di un sistema che deve necessariamente utilizzare le risorse in maniera efficiente e sostenibile, in modo da garantire che la crescita e il benessere non impoveriscano il patrimonio naturale e questo possa rinnovarsi continuando a fornire nel tempo risorse e servizi ambientali. Scopo del lavoro è quello di analizzare le condizioni regionali che possono favorire una crescita sostenibile. Un'analisi delle…
Processus de décision en géoéconomie dans un contexte imprécis et incertain
2000
Issued from a pluridisciplinary workshop organized bt the ThéMA laboratory, this article tries to evaluate the boom due to fuzzy sets theory to analyse and model geoeconomical decision processes in an imprecise and uncertain context, analysing and describing some particular examples. The aim is also to enhance the relations between geography and economics in such a research topic.
