Mobilità condivisa e processi di sviluppo sostenibile nelle città: le questioni aperte e gli spazi per le politiche pubbliche
2020
L’articolo compie un percorso esplorativo, facendo ricorso soprattutto alla letteratura esistente, sui potenziali effetti dei sistemi di mobilità condivisa sullo sviluppo e l’organizzazione delle città. La prima sezione ripercorre in una prospettiva storica le forme di interazione tra esigenze di mobilità e modelli di urbanizzazione, analizzandone i presupposti socio-economici e gli effetti dal punto di vista ambientale. Successivamente vengono esaminate le condizioni culturali e tecnologiche che hanno consentito la diffusione della sharing mobility nelle città occidentali, analizzandone in chiave critica le relazioni con lo spazio urbano. Nell’ultimo paragrafo ci si interroga sulle forme d…

An exploration of reciprocity between female athletes and their coach in elite junior swimming: a shared reality theory perspective
2021
Based on the proposition that the relationship between a coach and athlete is at its best when both parties contribute to enhancing its quality, the present study sought to investigate if Shared Reality Theory could provide new insights on the topic. Specifically, the purpose of the present study was to explore: (a) how a shared reality is established, or fails to be established, over the course of the sporting partnership between athletes and their coach; and (b) how the presence of a shared reality (or not) in the coach-athlete relationship is related to the experienced quality of the relationship between athletes and their coach, as recorded over time. Narrative inquiry, embedded within …
Mixing Different Realities in a Single Shared Space
2019
The concept of internet of everything involves an intelligent connection of people, processes, data, and things. In this sense, shared spaces aimed to connect different users that collaborate following a common purpose are of relevance to the field. Many computer-based collaborative environments have been proposed in recent years. However, the design of mixed-platform collaborative spaces, in which different paradigms—such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)—are blended, is still uncommon. This chapter aims to analyze the benefits and features of these systems, reviewing existing related works and proposing a series of features for the design of effective mixed-platform colla…
Iconic framework for cooperative coding
2018
The description of an innovative framework built on top of Web-based visual programming environment is the primary aim of this contribution. In the last decade, many frameworks oriented to visual languages have been introduced in literature to improve the skill on programming languages, but at the best of our knowledge, no framework has been specially designed to support collaborative work on heterogeneous distributed environments. Therefore, SIRENE introduces a new framework in which beginners and experts can cooperate to develop algorithms by using a visual and iconic paradigm. Students, in the classroom or connected from everywhere, can be involved into the definition of the algorithm, c…
Self-Enforcing, Public-Order Institutions for Contract Enforcement: Litigation, Regulation, and Limited Government in Venice, 1050–1350
2011
The spectacular economic growth of Venice during the late medieval period (1050–1350) was based on the expansion of its trade along the Mediterranean and beyond. Crucial to this expansion was the mobilization of large amounts of capital into risky investments. However, this mobilization required the development of institutions that protected creditors and shareholders from expropriation by controlling merchants. This chapter finds that legal and administrative institutions conjointly provided investor protection and explores the interactions between these public-order institutions for contract enforcement and the emergence of a limited government, a coercion-constraining institution that mo…
Bank Reliability Assessment Model: Case of Latvia
2020
Reliable and stable banks are an important precondition for the sustainable development of national economy. The objective of the chapter is to design a model allowing assessment of bank reliability in the context of bank financial strength. The model is designed using publicly available financial statement data of Latvian commercial banks, in the period of 2003–2016, macroeconomic data as well as aggregate statistical data of Latvian banking sector. The model allows calculation of ratings reflecting reliability level of banks. The model is designed based on the multiple choice model ordered logit. The chapter identifies the most important factors reflecting reliability level of banks, incl…
Corporate Governance of Banks after the Financial Crisis - Theory, Evidence, Reforms
2010
Poor corporate governance of banks has increasingly been acknowledged as an important cause of the recent financial crisis. Given the developments since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, this fact is not readily to be explained. Listed banks and even non-listed firms worldwide have publicly emphasized that good corporate governance is of vital concern for the company, and have adopted firm-specific corporate governance codices. Moreover, banking supervisors have taken up the issue. In particular, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has already published two editions of a guideline entitled “Enhancing corporate governance for banking organisations” which perfectly reflects the super…
The Uncertain Role of Banks’ Corporate Governance in Systemic Risk Regulation
2011
This paper examines how corporate governance reform of banks relates to systemic risk. Although there has been substantial emphasis on the importance of corporate governance of banks, it is not entirely clear how this enterprise relates to the goal of financial stability. The first part of the paper differentiates between kinds of risk that arise from the structure of the firm, such as shareholder ownership, limited liability and the separation between control and ownership, and kinds of risk that arise from interactions at the systemic level. It highlights why the risk-taking of banks presents, in many respects, a special case not only because of the structure of their business but also becau…
Shareholder Wealth Effects of Women on Boards Promoting Policies: Evidence from Germany
2017
This study discusses differences in the effectiveness of voluntary and mandatory policies promoting women on boards and their potential effects on stock price returns. Furthermore, it classifies the announcements of the policy proposals discussed in Germany and analyzes their impact using event study methodology. The event date identification follows a two-step procedure employing search engine query data from GoogleTrends and traditional search methods using Lexis-Nexis and newspapers. One key event produces negative significant cumulative abnormal stock returns (CAR) of approximately 1.3 percentage points. Further regression analysis of the CAR reveals that the share of women on the super…
