Economic Nationalism and Populism – Intertwining Relations
2017
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie analizy dwóch, bardzo ściśle powiązanych ze sobą kategorii, nacjonalizmu ekonomicznego oraz ekonomicznego populizmu. Obie kategorie przenikają się zarówno w realnej polityce, jak i w refleksji akademickiej. Mimo bardzo bogatego dyskursu naukowego na temat obydwu, ich badacze cały czas spierają się nie tylko na temat tego jak je wyjaśniać, ale nawet co do ich zasadniczych treści. Zaproponowana analiza stanowi odpowiedź na ten deficyt i próbuje skupić się na związkach ekonomicznego populizmu i nacjonalizmu. W pierwszej kolejności dokonana została rekonstrukcja podstawowych sposobów rozumienia nacjonalizmu ekonomicznego – jego elementów konstytut…
Toward farm-level health management of wind turbine systems: status and scope for improvements
2018
An outline of health management for OWFs has been detailed in this chapter with description of various important elements. The need for such farm level management is explained and benefits are discussed. Key gaps to be filled in order to realize such a system are identified. The proposed health management system is mainly based on the existing knowledge of fleet-level management in the aerospace sector. Health management is much broader than CM; there are a number of aspects beyond the prognostics capabilities that are to be designed in order to arrive at a comprehensive maintenance management scheme. A comprehensive maintenance program that is sensitive to the health of the assets and adap…
Flooding in the Digital Twin Earth: The Case Study of the Enza River Levee Breach in December 2017
2023
The accurate delineation of flood hazard maps is a key element of flood risk management policy. Flood inundation models are fundamental for reproducing the boundaries of flood-prone areas, but their calibration is limited to the information available on the areas affected by inundation during observed flood events (typically fragmentary photo, video or partial surveys). In recent years, Earth Observation data have supported flood monitoring and emergency response (e.g., the Copernicus Emergency Service) thanks to the proliferation of available satellite sensors, also at high spatial resolution. Under this umbrella, the study investigates a levee breach that occurred in December 2017 along t…
Definition of Water Meter Substitution Plans based on a Composite Indicator
2014
This paper presents a water meter substitution plan based on a composite "Replacement indicator" which was defined and compared with common substitution strategies based on meter age and on run-to-fail approaches. The methodology was applied to one of the 17 sub-networks in which the Palermo city water distribution network (Italy) is divided. The analysis was carried out considering a substitution budget limitation and the results showed that the use of "Replacement indicator" outperform the classical substitution strategies based on meter age because it takes into account some other variables that may affect meter precision and wearing.

Behaviours and Beliefs Related to Whistleblowing Against Doping in Sport: A Cross-National Study.
2022
BackgroundWhistleblowing has been recognized as an important deterrent of doping in elite competitive sport. The present study examined athletes’ knowledge of external whistleblowing channels and on how and where to report doping misconduct, perceived trust in different whistleblowing reporting channels, whistleblowing behaviour and athletes’ reasons for reporting (or not) doping misconduct.MethodsAthletes from Greece (n = 480), the Russian Federation (n = 512) and the United Kingdom (n = 171) completed a structured questionnaire on demographics, knowledge of different whistleblowing channels, perceived trust in internal and external whistleblowing channels, past whistleblowing behaviour an…
Redrawing as key to the spatial thought of Hana Kučerová Zaveská
2017
The paper analyzes two works of Hana Kučerová Zaveská, Czech architect and designer who has made an important contribution to the Modern Movement, dealing with social housing and social services and placing its emphasis on improving the status of women. His brief but intense activity is developed in Czechoslovakia in the period between the wars and is influenced by the architecture and art movements that occurred in the country during the twenties and thirties. In the footsteps of Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe, she creates furniture where functionality is combined with the elegance and in which we recognize the signature style of the designer, her innovative use of materials and produ…
Smart heritage: un approccio multiscalare
2016
L'articolo affronta un'analisi sulla duplice accezione dell’aggettivo smart, declinato in ambito energetico-ambientale e storico-culturale. La riqualificazione dei contesti urbani viene qui affrontata seguendo due filoni paralleli: da un lato, quello relativo agli aspetti della sostenibilità ambientale, verificata attraverso una lettura bioclimatica del luogo; dall'altro quello relativo alla rappresentazione di queste nuove città digitali. Si tratta di definire un approccio multidisciplinare, che interpola tecnologia e disegno, adottando nuovi mezzi di rappresentazione per la conoscenza multiscalare del patrimonio urbano. Una simile metodologia mira a individuare nell'ambiente costruito urb…

Mapping of Biomass Residues for Potential Energy Generation from the Wine-Growing Sector in the Provinces of Palermo and Trapani
2019
This paper is based on results obtained during the project Vienergy (Interreg Italia-Malta programme 2007-2013) and contains data on the potential energy generation of biomass residues following pruning from vineyards located within the provinces of Trapani and Palermo. Analysis of the energy potential, following microgasification tests and heat production related to the biomass, included a preliminary mapping of vineyards in the area and an assessment of the total biomass available. Vineyard mapping was carried out using remote-sensing technologies: images were acquired and analysed using Landsat satellite; spectroradiometric calibration then took place using various targets obtained from …
Palermo. Un museo virtuale - Palermo. A virtual museum
2016
Conoscenza, conservazione e valorizzazione sono tra gli obiettivi principali delle discipline riguardanti il disegno, il rilievo e la restituzione grafica dell’architettura, che non si fermano soltanto alla documentazione dello stato di fatto ma comprendono anche ricostruzioni congetturali del processo diacronico di modificazione del monumento ai fini di una sua più ampia conoscenza; la storia del monumento si inserisce, in tal modo, nella storia della città e dei suoi cambiamenti culturali; queste nuove immagini sono veri e propri importanti elementi di un "virtual museum" del sito e, più in generale, della città sulla quale esso insiste. Da molti anni, ormai, i docenti, gli assegnisti di …
