Multi-professional work practices in the field of immigrant integration – examples of collaboration between the police and social work
2017
Development of the professional competences and work practices are required when promoting successful immigrant integration in a constantly diversifying society. One work method applied in this field is multi-professional collaboration. Cooperation between the authorities at the local level reduces the overlap between services and brings together expertise and resources, resulting in not only added value but also more proactive and less costly service. Thus, collaboration can involve actors from various sectors, like NGOs or ethnic minority communities. In this article examples of collaboration in two different multi-ethnic contexts are introduced: first, in school and second, in a suburb.…
To sit or to stand, that is the question : examining the effects of work posture change on the well-being at work of software professionals
2017
Despite the central role of human resources in determining the success of software companies, relatively little academic research has been conducted on the well-being at work aspect of software professionals. This study aims to address the aforementioned gap by examining the effects of using standing instead of sitting workstations on the well-being at work of software professionals in terms of their physical activity, mental alertness, stress, and musculoskeletal strain. An intervention study consisting of two measurements was conducted for 29 employees of a large Finnish software company by using questionnaires and the Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment service.

Dietary Patterns at the Individual Level through a Nutritional and Environmental Approach: The Case Study of a School Canteen
2022
The public catering sector has important responsibilities in seeking a change toward more sustainable choices for many aspects related to the environmental impacts of their services. The environmental impact of production processes can be studied through life cycle assessment (LCA), which allows a greater awareness of choices and has rarely been applied to catering. In this work, we studied the impacts of two dishes (braised meat and cauliflower meatballs) in a school canteen, their impacts were studied using the daily energy requirement (expressed in kcal) as a functional unit. Global warming potential (GWP) and nonrenewable energy (NRE) were calculated starting from the supply of raw mate…

Strumenti simbolici di distinzione e di affermazione professionale nell’architettura del Cinquecento in Italia meridionale (Puglia, Sicilia, Sardegna)
2018
Il contributo indaga, attraverso una serie numerosa di esempi, come le epigrafi, le firme, le autorappresentazioni poste dagli artefici in elementi architettonici rilevanti quali portali, volte, colonne, ponti ecc...di fabbriche prestigiose siano da interpretare come strumenti simbolici di distinzione e di affermazione professionale nell’architettura del Cinquecento in Italia meridionale (Puglia, Sicilia, Sardegna), nei luoghi cioè privi delle Vite vasariane e lontane dall'idea di Rinascimento. L’Italia meridionale e le isole finiscono per confermare una certa alterità, che a una lettura superficiale potrebbe essere persino interpretata come subalternità con i centri produttori del Centro-N…
Travisamenti pretori in tema di esonero dalla responsabilità contrattuale tra causalità e vicinanza della prova
2020
La nota censura la pronuncia in commento a causa della scelta di addossare la prova della causalità materiale al creditore anche nell'ambito delle obbligazioni di facere non professionale, con ciò facendo segnare la piena equiparazione sul piano della causalità della responsabilità contrattuale alla responsabilità aquiliana. The note censures the judgment in question due to the choice of placing proof of material causation on the creditor also in the context of the obligations of non-professional facere, thereby marking the full equation in terms of causality of contractual liability with aquilian liability.
