Prevention and Mitigation of Rural Higher Education Dropout in Colombia: A Dynamic Performance Management Approach.

2023

Background: Dropout in higher education is a socio-educational phenomenon that has the scope to limit the benefits of education as well as to widen social disparities. For this reason, governments have implemented various public policies for its prevention and mitigation. However, in rural populations, such policies have proven to be ineffective. The aim of this paper is to simulate public policy scenarios for the treatment of school dropout in rural higher education in Colombia from a Dynamic Performance Management approach. Methodology: To achieve the aim, a parameterised simulation model was designed with data from Colombian state entities in rural higher education. Five simulations were…

The production management of hazelnuts in province of Cuneo, under a system dynamics approach. How the dormice affect its performance.

2019

The production of hazelnuts represents an important resource in several Italian rural areas. Sicily and Piedmont, ones of the most important producers of hazelnuts, are affected by the presence of a rodent (Glis Glis), that has reduced considerably the production of hazelnuts. This project aims to show the complexity of the issue by using a System Dynamics (SD) approach to help the decision-makers to implement an optimal policy to improve the performance of production management of hazelnuts, taking as example the case of Province of Cuneo. By using the case of Province of Cuneo where Policy-makers have applied some policies to reduce the impact of the presence of the rodent, a SD microworl…

Relational Ethnic Tourism in Sicily. Linguistic minorities and rural development.

2010

Mass tourism has contributed to the spread of English throughout the world, and to portrait local traditions and languages as archaic and folkloristic cultural traits, not a part of real life. Under globalization and the thrust to linguistic homogeneity, local minority language communities are going to weaken their cultural heritage, when conforming to English speaking mass tourists expectations. This is not, however, necessary nor unavoidable. Evidence of the contrary exists: in some cases tourism plays a fundamental role to preserve minority languages (Greathouse-Amador 2005). In the past, languages were not considered as attractors in tourist markets; they showed their potentialities to …

The Legal Framework Behind Biocultural Rights. An Analysis of their Pros and Cons for Indigenous Peoples and for Local Communities

2022

The idea of biocultural rights strives to address the overall issues of indigenous peoples and local communities in relation to the environment and to conflate together the different rights needed to promote their self-government and conservation of cultural identity. Indeed, biocultural rights place themselves in the Anthropocene debate as powerful tools able to provide answers to both human rights and environmental issues. But their environmental focus might raise some issues. This chapter will explore the pros and cons of choosing the path of claiming biocultural rights for, separately, indigenous peoples and local communities. They appear, in fact, as different subjects in international…

Lo scenario che si presenta a noi, nell’epoca contemporanea, è quello di un mondo in costante sviluppo di interconnessioni e interdipendenze negli ambiti economico, scientifico, sociale, culturale e politico e di società in cui sempre maggiore è la presenza di culture ed etnie diverse. Il costante scambio e meticciamento delle culture è evidente e allo stesso modo è sotto gli occhi di tutti che le società vivono un complesso mutamento di equilibri che sta portando o ha già portato le comunità a riconoscersi come multiculturali e ricche di presenze sociali diverse. Proprio la sociologia e la pedagogia interculturale sono percepite da diversi studiosi come una vera e propria rivoluzione coper…
