Four tasks for forward-looking global ethics

2014

Our challenge for the twenty-first century consists in showing how to construct a global ethics and in trying to discover a rational foundation for it, which may be used as guidance for action and as a norm for the criticism of specific situations. I argue that four tasks must be accomplished to construct a global ethics: (1) Construct that global governance or that world government that makes cosmopolitan citizenship possible. (2) Foster the joint work of bioethics, economic and business ethics, and development ethics – areas of applied ethics, each one of which on its own has reached the global level. (3) Discover a rational basis for a global ethics, which has a universal normative force…

Validation study of Italian version of inventory for déjà vu experiences assessment (I-IDEA): A screening tool to detect déjà vu phenomenon in Italia…

2017

The Inventory Déjà Vu Experiences Assessment (IDEA) is the only screening instrument proposed to evaluate the Déjà vu (DV) experience. Here, we intended to validate the Italian version of IDEA (I-IDEA) and at the same time to investigate the incidence and subjective qualities of the DV phenomenon in healthy Italian adult individuals on basis of an Italian multicentre observational study. In this study, we report normative data on the I-IDEA, collected on a sample of 542 Italian healthy subjects aging between 18-70 years (average age: 40) with a formal educational from 1-19 years. From September 2013 to March 2016, we recruited 542 healthy volunteers from 10 outpatient neurological clinics i…

Psicologia del giudizio normativo: una ipotesi

2022

In this chapter, I develop an hypothesis about the psychology of normativity. Normativity, I suggest, emerges through the structuring of multiple layers of intra-personal and inter-personal cognitive control.

Translanguaging as Playful Subversion of a Monolingual Norm in the Classroom

2018

A large part of the literature on translanguaging as a pedagogical theory has explored how an inclusive multilingual pedagogy can support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to actively participate in the classroom. While much of this literature approaches classroom translanguaging as an instructional strategy designed to promote multilingual interactional practices, we analyse how multilingual practices can also take place as subversive language play in an educational context that is driven by a monolingual norm. Our data are video-recorded lessons from secondary-level Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms in Finland in which students whose L1 is …

IT engagement as a blessing and a curse? Examining its antecedents and outcomes in organizations

2020

Information technology (IT) engagement is defined as a need to spend more time using IT. Practice-based examples show that IT engagement can have adverse effects in organizations. Although users can potentially get more work done through IT engagement, observations show that the users might jeopardize their well-being and hamper their work performance. We aimed to investigate this complexity in the research on IT engagement by examining its potential antecedents and outcomes in organizations. Considering the potentially mixed outcomes, we developed a model to examine the effects of IT engagement on personal productivity and strain. We also aimed to explain the antecedents of IT engagement b…

Context as a Provider of Key Resources for Succession: A Case Study of Sustainable Family Firms

2019

[EN] Although succession is the single most important issue in family-owned businesses (FOBs), there is scarce comprehensive and integrative analysis of the context (i.e., the social, organizational, and normative setting) where succession events occur. Research usually focuses on the success or failure of succession processes, instead of the risks faced by FOBs during succession. The succession process takes time and multiple actors are involved. Therefore, succession is influenced by uncertainty and unforeseen events. This study addresses the aforementioned gap in the literature by investigating how context can reduce the risk of failure in succession. Based on organizational change theor…

W stronę socjologicznego ujęcia etyki badań naukowych

2016

Zgodnie z tezą, że kompetencje etyczne stanowią ważną cechę kompetencji merytorycznych badaczy terenowych, a doświadczane przez nich dylematy etyczne mają charakter dylematów metodologiczno-teoretycznych, autorzy artykułu naświetlają problem połączenia refleksji etycznej z paradygmatem socjologii jakościowej. Argumentują, że wydzielenie jej jako specjalności normatywnej i filozoficznej, która dominuje w kodeksach etycznych, niesie ze sobą zagrożenie traktowania jej w inny sposób niż pozostałe zagadnienia obecne w socjologicznych badaniach i refleksjach oraz może prowadzić do istotnej straty poznawczej. Autorzy podkreślają możliwość i potrzebę rozwijania etyki badań w paradygmacie socjologii…

I vescovati nella Sicilia normanno-sveva (XI-XIII secolo). Potestà normative e competenze giurisdizionali in un territorio multiculturale

2021

La tesi ha ad oggetto i vescovati di Sicilia nell’età normanna. La ricerca è condotta – oltre che con l’ausilio degli importantissimi risultati storiografici frutto degli studi ormai acquisiti al patrimonio conoscitivo – a partire da una rilettura delle fonti documentarie conservatesi, costituite essenzialmente da atti della Cancelleria comitale e regia, nonché da atti di matrice privatistica, la maggior parte dei quali provenienti dagli Archivi Diocesani. All’indagine su tale tipologia di fonti si accompagna, parallelamente, un’analisi dei dati offerti dalle fonti cronachistiche, utili alla ricostruzione di uno spaccato storico dell’età considerata quanto più completo e affidabile. Il quad…

The paradox of endogenous poverty line in the poverty indices

2007

february 23-25, 2007; When measuring poverty, the poverty line is considered to be relatively determined as a percentage of the median income or as a percentage of the average income so as to allow international comparisons. The poverty line relative to the median income may be described as endogenous in contrast with the poverty line relative to the average income which may be described as exogenous because it is independent of the normalized distribution of incomes. As the existing literature is focused on the properties of the indices but not on the respective interest of the endogenous and exogenous poverty lines, this paper compares the two definitions of the relative poverty. The Rela…
