Does supply chain quality integration guarantee ambidexterity? Contingency and configuration perspectives on their relationships
2020
While researchers have thoroughly investigated the impact of supply chain quality integration (SCQI) on competitive performance, they have paid less attention to its possible effects on a firm’s ca...

Designing Dynamic Sustainable Business Models to Assess the Feasibility of an Industrial Symbiosis: The Case of the Retro-Port Area of Trieste
2023
This study evaluates the managerial sustainability of implementing a decision support system for industrial symbiosis through a recent business modeling methodology. The decision support system is intended to facilitate the identification of implementable industrial symbiosis good practices in a pilot project located in the industrial retro-port area of Trieste. To evaluate the feasibility of this project, a qualitative “Dynamic business model canvas for sustainability” was designed and supported by a system dynamics approach using causal loop diagrams. The study analyzed various governance scenarios for managing the decision support system (public, private, or public–private partnership) a…
Development and changes in the industrial function of a city with reference to the conception of sustainable development (a study case of Opole)
2015
The principal goal of the paper is to identify the influence of the industrial sphere on the development of and changes in a city, according to rules of sustainable development. The first part of the article is devoted to industrial objects and area which have existed for about 20 years and are characterized by huge changes. It is important to answer the questions: how changes in the case of an obsolete industrial area are related to social and environmental spheres, and what should be done in the case of a negative influence of the industrial sphere on the other two. Furthermore, it is important to identify the performance and actions which are taken by the local government in this context…
MUV: A Game to Encourage Sustainable Mobility Habits
2019
This working paper investigates the question of changing people mobility towards more sustainable habits involving them in an engaging gameplay. The work is performed within MUV H2020 research and innovation action. The game design, definition and features have been co-created through the involvement of different citizens and stakeholders in six European neighbourhoods. The paper discusses the game design as resulting from co-creation and co-design experiences with each neighbourhood communities involved in initial phases. The paper argues that the local co-design activities have influenced the game definition, together with the community engagement approach. The MUV gameplay approach resul…
A Place for Life
2010
The belief in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations starts from the so-called principle of mediocrity. This principle postulates that Earth is a normal planet that rotates around a normal star, which in turn is located in a normal galaxy. That is to say, there is nothing so special in our world as to make it unique. This is a logical conclusion, toward which we are guided by the successive “Copernican turns” that science has suffered throughout its long history, and which has removed us from the central position we once believed to occupy in the universe.
Feedback Linearization Based Nonlinear Control of SynRM Drives Accounting for Self- and Cross-Saturation
2022
This article proposes a nonlinear controller based on feedback linearization (FL) for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives which takes into consideration the magnetic saturation. The proposed nonlinear FL control based control technique has been developed starting from the theoretical definition of an original dynamic model of the SynRM taking into consideration both the self- and the cross-saturation effects. Such a control technique permits the dynamics of both the speed and axis flux loops to be maintained constant independently from the load and the saturation of the iron core in both constant flux and variable direct axis flux operating conditions. Finally, sensitivity of the pe…
Análisis de la influencia de los sentimientos de culpa en el proceso de desarrollo del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (SQT) y sus consecuencias.…
2014
Introducción: Los trabajadores del sector de la educación son una población de alto riesgo con una alta tasa de prevalencia de estrés laboral (Parent-Thirion, Fernández, Vermeylen y Hurley, 2007). Según Gil-Monte (Gil-Monte, 2012) el Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo (SQT) avanza de forma paralela desde el deterioro cognitivo (pérdida de ilusión por el trabajo o baja realización personal) y el deterioro emocional (desgaste psíquico) a las actitudes y comportamientos de cinismo e indiferencia hacia el cliente (indolencia o despersonalización). La Indolencia (despersonalización) se considera como una estrategia de afrontamiento disfuncional, en lugar de efectivo (Taris, Le Blanc, Schaufeli …
Factorial Validity of the "Spanish Burnout Inventory" (SBI) in a Sample of Mexican Doctors
2010
El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la validez factorial del Cuestionario para la Evaluación del Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo (CESQT). Se hipotetizó un modelo de cuatro factores. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 110 médicos del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. El instrumento está formado por 20 ítems distribuidos en 4 subescalas: Ilusión por el trabajo (5 ítems), Desgaste psíquico (4 ítems), Indolencia (6 ítems), y Culpa (5 ítems). El modelo presentó un ajuste adecuado: GFI = .83, RMSEA = .061, NNFI = .90, CFI = .92, PNFI = .65. Los resultados indican que el CESQT presentó en esta muestra validez factorial y valores de consistencia interna adecuados. The purpose of this study was…
