Pianificazione regionale al bivio: un piano territoriale regionale strategico a valenza sociale economica o un piano comprensivo
2022
With the approval of the regional law n.2 / 2021 the Sicilian regional urban reform has taken the start that has been completed with the last of the implementing decrees provided for in the regional law n.19 / 2020 relating to the sizing of general urban plans (PUG) that take the place of the PRG of the lr n.71 / 1978. This last law was part of the triptych of laws (urban planning, cultural heritage and tourism) that between 1976 and 1980 were alternately desired by Piersanti Mattarella before his murder at the hands of the mafia. The regional council has approved the act of address that constitutes the document of the guidelines for the new regional territorial plan of social and economic …
An algorithm for oncologic scalp reconstruction.
2010
Background: Modern reconstructive surgery allows for radical resection and reconstruction of any scalp tumor. However, a significant number of patients are still not treated optimally because of incomplete reconstructive guidelines. Methods: The treatment of scalp tumors was documented in 60 patients over a 10-year period. Data regarding tumor type, size, and localization; reconstructive procedure; oncologic, functional, and aesthetic outcome; and complications were collected and analyzed retrospectively. These data were correlated to recurrence and survival rates. The findings extracted from the data were amalgamated to produce the proposed reconstructive algorithm. Results: Five reconstru…
Spelling out consequences : conditional constructions as a means to resist proposals in organisational planning process
2016
Organisational planning processes often materialise as a series of meetings, where the future of the organisation is jointly discussed and negotiated as a part of local decision-making sequences. Using conversation and discourse analytical approaches, this article investigates how proposals concerning the future can also be resisted by employing a specific device, a conditional construction ( if X, then Y). The data for the study originate from a city organisation, whose customer services are being developed. The results show how the conditional constructions work in two interrelated ways. First, by introducing a problematic hypothetical situation, they outline the undesirable consequences…
Is Education Getting Lost in University Mergers?
2010
Mergers are common phenomena in higher education institutions. Improving educational quality is typically one of the stated goals of university mergers. Yet, little information exists about how merging institutions approach this goal. This paper presents results from a study of planning documents created prior to four mergers in the Finnish higher education system. These documents show that there was little concrete attention given to the educational issues related to the mergers. Most attention was placed on administrative issues and issues related to research. When educational issues were mentioned, it was almost always in the form of vague goals with few details provided about how the go…
Planning Production Preparation Processesusing The Critical Chain Method
2017
This paper explains the usefulness of critical chain project management for planning production preparation processes. A synthesis of issues of project management and production preparation processes is presented, and a conceptual model of concurrent design processes using the critical chain method is developed. The proposed model of planning production preparation processes enables improving the effectiveness and economic efficiency of new product development. The main assessment indicators of efficient project management in production preparation are: shortening the preparation time of new product development, rational use of resources, and reducing the risk of failure. The proposed appro…
Enhancing strategy design and planning in public utilities through “dynamic” balanced scorecards: insights from a project in a city water company
2008
In the last decade there has been an increasing effort to provide public utilities managers with planning and control tools, to take into account not only operational but also strategic issues. Among them are customer satisfaction, internal business process efficiency, business image, and bargaining power against other counterparts (e.g., the municipal administration). Often, however, such an effort has been oriented to generate a large volume of data, focused only on financial indicators and on a static view of the relevant system. This paper shows how the use of “dynamic” balanced scorecards can significantly improve the planning process in a strategic learning perspective. Insights from …
Coastal Governance Solutions Development in Latvia
2015
This chapter has focused on the application of the environmental collaboration communication model for separate coastal municipalities in Latvia, in order to assess and to advise on the development of coastal-climate-risk-communication specifications. The model has four components— information, education, participation, and environmentally friendly behavior —and its use in three coastal municipalities was examined in relation to coastal governance processes and stakeholder participation. This four-part model is recommended for use by municipal administrations in other types of complex communication applications, and should be introduced into all governance levels of the planning process and…
Kissing molars extraction: case series and review of the literature
2016
Kissing molars are a very rare form of inclusion defined as molars included in the same quadrant, with occlusal surfaces contacting each other within a single dental follicle. We present four cases of this pathology: a 35 year-old male, referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Hospital Virgen del Rocio in Seville, and three females of 24, 26, and 31 years, all of which had kissing molars that were treated by tooth extraction. We have found only 10 cases published in the medical literature in which this type of inclusion is briefly described, none of which elaborate on the surgical technique employed. In these cases, the indication for surgery is established when ther…
Planning Research ‘with’ Minorities in Palermo: Negotiating Ethics and Commitments in a Participatory Process
2008
The paper will explore some ethical issues which arise when undertaking research with minorities (ethnic groups, children, poor people) in the context of an uncollaborative planning process, like the Palermo Local Agenda 21. There are important ethical issues that have to be carefully considered when undertaking research with people, particularly when these people are marginalised or excluded by wider society. Here, issues of powerlessness and vulnerability abound. If this is accepted, some questions arise. How are we supposed to consider planning researchers – understood as immersed in the policy process – as moral/political agents, given their political commitments? Here there are both ge…
Advance-Care Planning Implementation Through the Nursing Process
2021
If healthcare professionals wish to provide healthcare that protects patients’ values and preferences, it is necessary to find a way to systematically implement the Advance-Care Planning process. The purpose of this article is to review the literature and present a theoretical model of Advance-Care Planning implementation through the Nursing Process.
