Il diritto islamico nel sistema delle fonti normative dell'ordinamento iraniano
2011
The essay aims to analyze the Iranian legal order by dweeling upon the connection between the religious legal sources and the secular ones. The acknowledgement of an apical right, whose origin is divine, coexists indeed with the law-making process provisions. In particular, the Author stresses the distinctive features and inherent contradictions of this legal order, which is defined as a "constitutional theocracy". Furthermore, the Author also addresses the duties of the Council of Guardians, which plays a central role in the definition of the hierarchy of legal sources, working both as interpreter of the Constitution and as controller of the compliance of ordinary and constitutional laws w…
Service policies of German manufacturers: Critical factors in international competition
1992
Abstract German companies perform well in export markets, based on product quality and technology. But the competitive advantages and value-added of service are expected to grow sharply in the coming decade — especially product-focused service. Hermann Simon has identified ‘Hidden Champions’ in Germany — companies like Heidelberg Printing Machines, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which integrate market and technology as equal driving forces and provide quick and reliable customer service. But there is much room for improvement in service provided by German manufacturing companies. They could upgrade their design and marketing of service, and apply better quality control such as setting quantitative …
Unit-level fairness and quality within the health care industry: A justice–quality model
2014
We test a justice–quality model in which peer justice and justice climate are related to the service quality provided by the work unit. Based on the effort–reward imbalance model, we propose that units perceiving fair treatment provide better delivery of the core service (functional service quality) and better relational service beyond the core service (relational service quality). We also test whether the cross-level relationship of high service quality delivered by work units translates into high customer ratings of the service quality they receive. Furthermore, we propose that high service quality increases the work unit’s influence on their customers’ quality of life (QoL). We test thes…
Accounting for service quality to customers in the efficiency of water companies: evidence from England and Wales
2015
This paper investigates the role of service quality to customers in the efficiency assessment of water companies in England and Wales. To achieve this, data envelopment analysis techniques are employed to compute the technical efficiency of the water companies following two approaches: (i) traditional assessment based on quantity variables (without the inclusion of service quality variables) and (ii) alternative assessment considering quantity and service quality variables as undesirable outputs. The analysis covers 22 water and sewerage companies and water only companies providing drinking water services. The results indicate that the traditional efficiency assessment reveals a high level …

The Embioptera from the Strait of Sicily Islands: first records from Pantelleria and Lampedusa and new data from Lampione (Sicily, Italy)
2021
The occurrence of Embioptera in the Strait of Sicily islands was up to date known only from Lam pione (the smallest of the Pelagie islands), where the only species reported was provisionally assigned to Embia ramburi Rimski-Korsakow, 1905. Based on material recently collected by the authors, the presence of Embioptera is here reported for the first time in the Islands of Pantelleria (Sicily, Trapani) and Lampedusa (Sicily, Agrigento). In the Island of Pantelleria the occurrence of the typical small silky tunnels produced by Embioptera has been verified in many sites, from sea level to Montagna Grande (836 m). In many of these sites, several juveniles and some adult or subadult specimens wer…
Dall'albero cosmico all'albero casa. Viaggio nel mondo di una straordinaria creatura
2011
Il patrimonio arboreo fa parte della dote che la nostra Terra ha offerto all’uomo fin dalla sua comparsa; regalo prezioso ed essenziale, senza il quale l’esistenza del nostro pianeta avrebbe avuto sicuramente altri sviluppi. Il 20 dicembre 2006, durante l’83esima Riunione Plenaria, l’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite, facendo propria la proposta della Croazia, ha adottato una risoluzione proclamando il 2011 Anno Internazionale delle Foreste per diffondere la conoscenza sulle azioni globali a sostegno della gestione forestale sostenibile, della protezione, valorizzazione e sviluppo di alberi e foreste. Evidenziando come queste siano fondamentali per la salvaguardia della biodiversità, p…
Free Graphics. La grafica fuori delle regole nell'era digitale
2006
Free Graphis è grafica fuori delle regole, lontana dal rigore della metodo-logia razionalista (Scuola svizzera) che ha dominato a lungo la scena. I designer qui indagati (Wolfang Weingart, Rudy VanderLans, Zuzana Li-cko, April Greiman, Neville Brody, David Carson, Stefan Sagmeister, John Maeda, Reza Abedini), forti delle tecnologie digitali, si pongono il preciso obiettivo di colpire il proprio target: “toccare il cuore del design”. In questo scenario, si sviluppano linguaggi fortemente espressivi, a volte ai limiti del-la leggibilità, ma di grande impatto comunicativo e adeguati ai processi massmediatici. La tecnica digitale ha reso possibile una nuova estetica – fluida e dinamica – e nuov…
Viste dagli Interni. Brevi percorsi in 3500 battute.
2015
Sempre più spesso, all’interno della didattica, si assegnano battute esercizi volti a far emergere un aspetto legato alle questioni del progetto. Il libro raccoglie gli scritti degli studenti realizzati dopo tre lezioni frontali e una itinerante dal titolo: Uno sguardo sulle mani, Carlo Scarpa a Palazzo Abatellis passando per lo Steri. 3500 battute che ogni studente ha messo dentro il ‘gioco’ della didattica per il Laboratorio di Architettura degli Interni tenuto da Santo Giunta presso il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Architettura LM4 di Palermo nell’a.a. 2014-2015. Questo libro organizza criticamente contributi che riflettono sull’infondatezza di ogni separazione fra esterno e interno. Bre…
