Il Piano nazionale di ripresa e resilienza e le sue fonti: dinamiche dei processi normativi in tempo di crisi
2022
Il libro descrive ed opera un'analisi critica del quadro normativo Euro-nazionale nell'ambito del quale è stato definito il Piano nazionale di ripresa e resilienza italiano (PNRR). Oggetto principale dell'analisi è l'impatto del quadro normativo UE nell'ambito del quale è stato sviluppato Next Generation EU ed, in particolare, il Dispositivo sulla ripresa e la resilienza, sul sistema delle fonti che caratterizza l'ordinamento costituzionale italiano. Sono prese in esame, in particolare le "misure legislative" previste dal piano, il sistema di indicatori di valutazione delle stesse per verificare se è stata data "soddisfacente" attuazione al Piano e le prassi attuative. The book gives an ove…
Spatial risks and complex systems: methodological perspectives
2007
Research on risk and industrial catastrophes question the complexity theories. Besides the concepts of complexity which lead us to reconsider concepts of risk, hazard and vulnerability, we propose to think about more practical aspects, for example the modelling of human behaviour in crisis situations. The link between concepts as critical self-organization, emergence, bifurcation, and the methods in the Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) used to model them is however difficult. In this paper, we present ongoing analysis on the key concepts of risk science, such as hazards and catastrophes. We propose to enrich them with complex systems theories. First, we present methodological persp…
Comparison between Entropy and Resilience as Indirect Measures of Reliability in the Framework of Water Distribution Network Design
2014
Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate which between the entropy and resilience indices represents a better indirect measure of reliability in the framework of water distribution network design. The methodology adopted consisted of (a) multi-objective optimizations performed in order to minimize costs and maximize reliability, expressed by means of one of the indirect indices at time; (b) retrospective performance assessment of the solutions of Pareto fronts obtained. Two case studies of different topological complexity were considered. Results showed that indices based on energetic concepts (resilience and modified resilience) represent a better compact estimate of reliability th…
Fluorescence explorer (FLEX): An optimised payload to map vegetation photosynthesis from space
2006
The FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX) mission proposes to launch a satellite for the global monitoring of steady-state chlorophyll fluorescence in terrestrial vegetation. Fluorescence is a sensitive probe of photosynthetic function in both healthy and physiologically perturbed vegetation, and a powerful non-invasive tool to track the status, resilience, and recovery of photochemical processes and moreover provides important information on overall photosynthetic performance with implications for related carbon sequestration. The early responsiveness of fluorescence to atmospheric, soil and plant water balance, as well as to atmospheric chemistry and human intervention in land usage makes it an ob…
Challenge Demands and Resilience
2022
Abstract. This study investigates the relationship of challenge demands (i. e., time pressure, job complexity) on employee resilience. We provide insights into potential pathways (i. e., learning, cognitive irritation) for how challenge stressors influence employee resilience. We employed a two-wave, time-lagged design to examine the influences of challenge stressors and explanatory pathways on employee resilience 2 months later. The data from 359 participants (52.1 % male) were analyzed using a Bayesian time-lagged path model. Results indicate that time pressure and job complexity are negatively related to employee resilience via cognitive irritation. In contrast, we found a positive, ind…
How time pressure is associated with both work engagement and emotional exhaustion: The moderating effects of resilient capabilities at work
2020
Resilience in the organizational context is a fruitful concept for understanding employees’ success in dealing with workplace adversity. Through a diary study, we have examined the interaction effects of time pressure and different work-related capabilities of resilience (i.e. emotional coping, comprehensive planning, positive reframing, and focused action) on emotional exhaustion and work engagement of employees. A sample of 79 employees (54.4% male) responded to two daily surveys (after work and before bedtime) for a period of five consecutive workdays. Results show that time pressure had a positive association with emotional exhaustion. Further, time pressure showed a positive associati…
Investigating the links between resilience, perceived HRM practices, and retirement intentions
2019
Purpose Human resource management (HRM) scholars’ interest in older employees’ resilience has only recently started to emerge. Little is known about how resilience and perceived HRM are linked to different retirement intentions. Drawing on the conservation of resources and social exchange theories, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the links between perceived HRM practices, resilience and retirement intentions. Additionally, the paper examines the possible mediating role of resilience in the relationship between perceived HRM practices and retirement intentions. Design/methodology/approach In 2016, a cross-sectional study was conducted among older (50+) nursing professionals work…
Organizational Persistence in Highly Institutionalized Environments: Unpacking the Relation Between Identity and Resilience
2021
AbstractDespite growing academic interest in understanding the conditions under which resilient organizations adapt to challenging circumstances, little attention to date has been paid to the role played by ‘soft’ factors such as identity as an enabler or property of resilient behaviour. In this chapter, we propose that different forms of legitimacy contribute to the framing of acceptable identities affecting the endurance of central elements over time, thus shaping resilience. By splitting up forms of legitimacy and by analysing elements of organizational identity separately, we provide a novel framework that enables a deeper understanding of identity formation processes in complex environ…
Sāpju dzīvesspēka loma psiholoģiskajā labklājībā pieaugušajiem ar hronisko sāpju pieredzi
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt sāpju dzīvesspēka lomu psiholoģiskajā labklājībā pieaugušajiem ar hronisko sāpju pieredzi. Pētījumā piedalījās 116 Latvijas iedzīvotāji, 79 (68,1%) sievietes un 37 (31,9%) un vīrieši vecumā no 25-60 gadiem (M=42,13, SD=10,55), ar hronisko sāpju pieredzi no trīs mēnešiem līdz gadam un vairāk (neklīniskā izlase). Pētījumā tika izmantota Sāpju dzīvesspēka skala (Pain Resilience Scale, Ankawi et al., 2017), pētījuma ietvaros notika skalas adaptācija latviešu valodā, kā arī Psiholoģiskās labklājības aptauja (Scales of psychological well – being, Ryff, 1989, latv. val. Raščevska, Voitkāne, & Miezīte, 2004), kā arī tika ievākti dati par hronisko sāpju pieredzi (intensi…
Palermo resiliente : complessità e contraddizioni di una città mediterranea di fronte alle sfide in atto
2021
Palermo, città portuale dalla storia millenaria, si inserisce nel quadro delle previsioni che vedono il bacino del Mediterraneo sottoposto alle molteplici pressioni dovute all’innalzamento del livello medio marino, ai fenomeni climatici sempre più violenti e a regimi di precipitazioni sempre più irregolari ed ondate di calore, amplificate dall’effetto di isola di calore urbano. Il contributo costituisce una narrazione degli elementi di resilienza urbana, siano essi naturali, di paesaggio, di biodiversità e sociali. Il capitolo indica altresì in che direzione il capoluogo siciliano sta agendo per mitigare e adattarsi alle sfide in atto ed è corredato da materiale grafico, fotografie e mappat…
