Ex situ conservation and exploitation of fungi in Italy
2011
Abstract The kingdom Fungi comprises one of the most diverse groups of living organisms. They are numerous, ubiquitous and undertake many roles both independently and in association with other organisms. Fungi display a wide diversity of forms also mirrored by functional diversity and play such a dominant role in human society that they are arguably biotechnologically the most important group of organisms. Ex situ conservation of fungi, not only guarantees correct management and conservation of biodiversity, but also its exploitation in different fields. This article describes the major biological resource centres dealing with fungi in Italy and gives several examples of fungal exploitation…

Universal Design of ICT for Emergency Management from Stakeholders’ Perspective
2020
While Universal Design principles have been adopted in many areas to ensure that products and services are usable for the broadest possible diversity of users, there is still an open area when it comes to the emergency management domain. This article aims at providing a systematic overview of the current state of the emerging research field of Universal Design of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Emergency Management, and to highlight high-impact research opportunities to ensure that the increasing introduction of ICT in Emergency Management can contribute to removing barriers instead of adding more barriers, in particular for the elderly and people with disabilities. A sys…
Diversity of Higher Education Institutions in Networked Knowledge Societies: A Comparative Examination
2016
Within and across many expanded and diversified higher education systems, the recognition and understanding of differences between institutions becomes especially challenging. Forms of both ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’ differentiation frequently exist alongside each other, though with increasing attention given to the former. Institutional boundaries become more porous within intra-sector and cross-sector collaborations, as networks become increasingly important in both. Do the ways in which different kinds of higher education institutions interact within networks, as well as the nature of those networks, differ? To what extent do network configurations become platforms for distinct knowledg…
Translating the Idea of the eGovernment One-Stop-Shop in Indonesia
2013
Article from the Book:Information and Communication Technology, Springer 2013. Also available on SpringerLink:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36818-9_1 This study aims to understand how the idea of an eGovernment one- stop-shop (OSS) has been translated into a new setting. Since the beginning of 2000, this idea has been implemented in a variety of ways by Indonesian local governments. Using an interpretive case study in the city of Yogyakarta, the study revealed that the specificity of each setting influences the translation process of the idea of OSS during its institutionalization. It also identified a set of editing rules used during the translation process. These include the editing…
Interacción y uso de tecnologías en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje
2020
El nuevo escenario de la sociedad del conocimiento y los desafíos de aprendizaje que debe enfrentar la educación en este milenio han sido determinados por la transformación del mundo en las esferas económicas, políticas y culturales.En este artículo analizamos los procesos de interacción que se producen en los contextos educativos cuando las tecnologías son una oportunidad para lograr cambios profundos que contribuyan a mejorar los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje desde nuevos planteamientos pedagógicos y curriculares. Todo ello conlleva una reorganización de los centros educativos, la formación y actualización del profesorado y la colaboración de las familias. Los docentes tienen ante sí …
The Correspondences of Luigi Cremona and Placido Tardy in the Libraries of Genoa
2018
We describe the historical framework and the main issues (biographical, scientific, political, etc.) of the correspondences of Placido Tardy and Luigi Cremona in the libraries of Genoa, which constitute an important contribution to the reconstruction of the History of Mathematics in the Italian “Risorgimento”. In particular, we mainly deal with the Cremona-Tardy, Betti-Tardy and Cremona-Guccia correspondences. Tardy’s letters are preserved at the Genoa University Library and Cremona’s letters at the Mazzini Institute of Genoa.
EL PAPEL DE LAS CIUDADES EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA NACIÓN
2011
Una de las cuestiones importantes que surgieron en el periodo crucial 1810-1812 fue el de la legitimidad y la de la gobernabilidad. ¿Quién gobierna y en nombre de quién?, como ya planteó F.X. Guerra. Las ciudades reasumieron la soberanía y estuvieron al frente de las reivindicaciones nacionalistas. Ausente el monarca, se decide que la soberanía debe volver al pueblo de donde surgió. Ante la situación que vivía España elmundo americano se dividió de la misma manera que en la metrópoli. La disolución de la Junta Central y la constitución del controvertido Consejo de Regencia, conmovió a la sociedad americana y esa inquietud se reflejó en los cabildos. La ciudad como centro articulador y el p…
Multilevel Governance and Participation: Interpreting Democracy in EU-programmes
2014
This article offers an ethnographically oriented, interpretive approach for the research into the democratic qualities of multilevel governance (MLG). The complex and networked MLG arrangements, such as the European Union's (EU) participatory policy practices, are changing the traditional roles of public administration and politics in ways we cannot yet fully foresee. Especially, the impact on democracy is subject to debate. With two case studies, this article seeks to shift the focus of the discussion on the democratic possibilities of MLG from theoretical analysis to empirical research into local and mundane experiences concerning EU policy implementation. The cases studied are the rural …
Imbalanced Job Polarization and Skills Mismatch in Europe
2016
Abstract This paper considers the education of the labour force based on an analysis of trends in and the relationships between job polarization and skills mismatch. Both job polarization and skills mismatch have become topics of increasing interest, but relationships between the two have been relatively neglected in the literature. We argue that the relationship between polarization and skills mismatch is an empirical matter, which we analyse at both the macroeconomic and microeconomic level in European countries. A novel job polarization index (JPI) is proposed to measure imbalanced job polarization. It takes into account not only the change in the share of medium-level jobs, as is typica…
