Le attività di culto nella scuola pubblica, tra laicità, «libertas Ecclesiae» e libertà religiosa collettiva

2016

Il contributo, sottoposto a valutazione, è frutto della riflessione comune dei due Autori; tuttavia, i paragrafi 1, 2, 3 e 4 sono opera di Fabiano Di Prima, i paragrafi 5, 6, e 7 di Marco Dell’Oglio SOMMARIO: - 1. Premessa. Il "ritorno" della religione e la riaffermazione degli Stati nazionali nell'ultimo quarto di secolo; l'"accerchiamento" della laïcité - 2. Il mancato sviluppo di una metodica giurisprudenziale focalizzante la "specificità" della laicità italiana; l'emersione di un trend individuante solo i (relativi) profili comuni alla laïcité - 3. Un caso paradigmatico: la sentenza n. 166 del 2016 del T.A.R. Emilia Romagna sul tema dello svolgimento di attività cultuali nella scuola pu…

Profile of intranasal corticosteroids in italy: Safety, cost/effectiveness, local and systemic adverse effects

2014

Background: Allergic Rhinitis is a common and often debilitating disease that affect, nowadays, not only young people. For this reason an effective treatment is necessary to minimize the impact of allergic rhinitis in general population. Objective: The aim of this review is to inquire intranasal corticosteroids. Results: We have obtained several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, by a MEDLINE search. We analyzed the safety profile, the adverse effects described by the authors, the relation between cost/effectiveness. We have made a search for trade profile, dosage and chemical characteristics by on-line handbook. Discussion: Several studies demonstrate that intran…

Incentive systems for risky investment decisions under unknown preferences

2017

Abstract Our paper examines how to design incentive systems for managers making multi-period risky investment decisions. We show how compensation functions and performance measures must be designed to ensure that managers implement the expected value-maximizing set of projects. The Relative Benefit Cost Allocation (RBCA) Scheme 1 and its extensions revealed in literature on unknown time preferences generally fail to do so under unknown time and risk preferences. We illustrate that when coping with such unknown preferences in a risky setting, a specific state-dependent allocation rule is required. We introduce such an allocation scheme, which we refer to as the State-Contingent RBCA Scheme, …

Costs of Using Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure: Towards a General Framework

2012

Cloud computing infrastructure is a state-of-the-art computing as a utility paradigm, offering individuals and organizations instantly-available and scalable computing capacity. Organizations may deploy the cloud infrastructure in own data centers, as a private cloud, or use the public on-demand cloud infrastructure charged on a pay-per-use basis. The organizations may also adopt a hybrid solution, i.e. use public cloud capacity to complement the resources in the private cloud, e.g. during the periods of rapid growth in the demand. One of the important factors that affect the organizations’ decisions to adopt a hybrid cloud is the total cost of acquiring and managing the infrastructure. In …

Organisation and Efficiency of Education Systems: Some empirical findings

2000

Using a sample of countries chosen for their similar level of development, this article shows the extent to which the organisation of primary and secondary education differs from one country to another, notably with respect to the way in which systems differentiate and select pupils for specialised curricula. It also explores the question of whether an education system that sorts pupils at a very early age is more cost-effective than a system that does not sort pupils during compulsory education. The stylised description of national education systems is based on various sources of information. The data used in the cost analysis come from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Develo…

Development of target cost – By the owner or together with Contractors - Target Value Design

2021

Abstract Cost growth and cost overrun of projects is a well-researched topic, but still a recurring problem. Some of the problems may be attributed to the difficulties of setting a realistic cost estimate in the early phase of the project. This paper aims to give insight o the challenge of setting realistic cost targets. We particularly focus on large and complex infrastructure projects in the context on the Norwegian construction industry. Four large infrastructure projects have been examined, all used a variation of target cost and was more or less successful in their implementation of this approach. Through interviews and document study we identified that when setting cost targets for pr…

Cost analysis of a vaccination strategy for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in a network model

2010

[EN] In this paper an age-structured mathematical model for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is proposed where children younger than one year old, who are the most affected by this illness, are specially considered. Real data of hospitalized children in the Spanish region of Valencia are used in order to determine some seasonal parameters of the model. Once the parameters are determined, we propose a complete stochastic network model to study the seasonal evolution of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) epidemics. In this model every susceptible individual can acquire the disease after a random encounter with any infected individual in the social network. The edges of a complete graph co…

Les évolutions de la comptabilité de gestion - Essai de positionnement par rapport à la méthode ABC et étude de cas

2009

This paper aims to analyse the instrumentation developments in cost management and to position them upon the general principles of the ABC method and upon a case study. In a first part, we study the different uses of cost management according to a literature review about the evolution of the practices. We show that the cost management systems tend to emancipate in several directions. Our purpose in a second part is to analyse these developments comparing them to the general principles of the ABC method. Our general issue is to wonder if these evolutions show that the ABC method is a common reference which explains the evolutions observed. We finally illustrate our paper with a case study.
