RC beams retrofitted by FRP oriented in any direction: Influence of the effectiveness factors
2022
Shear strength of FRP-retrofitted RC beams is usually influenced by different brittle failure modes characterizing the collapse of the FRP reinforcement. The most significant analytical models for assessing the shear strength of FRP-retrofitted RC beams reflect the effect of brittle failure through an effectiveness factor “R”, which reduces the ultimate tensile strength of FRP. The brittle collapse of FRP reinforcement often leads to a lower shear contribution by steel stirrups due to hindering of the yielding of all stirrups involved by critical cracking. Some analytical models consider this phenomenon introducing a further effectiveness factor “r”, which reduces the yielding strength of s…
Implementare il patrimonio archivistico: ricostruzione virtuale di una villa non realizzata di Giuseppe Samonà in Sicilia
2023
Questo saggio vuole essere una testimonianza dell’importanza culturale e cognitiva degli archivi (del progetto) intesi come patrimonio pubblico. L’azione di re-immaginarli può costituire un veicolo per la loro conoscenza? Con l’analisi di un caso-studio di un’abitazione non realizzata di un architetto del Novecento come Giuseppe Samonà si prova a verificare l’efficacia degli strumenti digitali per l’interpretazione dell’architettura come mezzi per l’implementazione comunicativa di un archivio.
Alcune considerazioni sul rapporto tra libertà fondamentali del Trattato europeo e diritto privato
2015
The essay explores the “horizontal effectiveness” of fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms, i.e. the relationship between private law and the fundamental rights and freedoms recognized by the EU Charter, the European Convention and the EU Treaties. The author reflects on the reasons that impede the horizontal efficacy, i.e.the effectiveness in relationships between private parties, of certain fundamental freedoms. Particular attention is paid to the free movement of goods and to the reasons that, on a case-by-case basis, may justify the horizontal application of rules which instead should have only vertical effect. Finally, the author attempts to relate the issue of “horizontal effect…
La categoria del rimedio nel sistema del diritto civile
2018
The essay analyzes the category of remedy by reviewing the main conceptions which have emerged so far. Useful elements are drawn from the critical analysis of the most articulated these, providing a notion of remedy able to highlight its essential feauteres, its applicative potential and its limits. To this end, the essay deals with some emblematic cases in which there has been too loose a use of the category of remedy. The end of the study illustrates a notion of remedy that appears more rigorous and more in keeping with the characteristics if the iurisdictio.
Cost-effectiveness of sofosbuvir-based triple therapy for untreated patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C
2013
We assessed the cost-effectiveness of sofosbuvir (SOF)-based triple therapy (TT) compared with boceprevir (BOC)- and telaprevir (TVR)-based TT in untreated genotype 1 (G1) chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients discriminated according to IL28B genotype, severity of liver fibrosis, and G1 subtype. The available published literature provided the data source. The target population was made up of untreated Caucasian patients, aged 50 years, with G1CHC and these were evaluated over a lifetime horizon by Markov model. The study was carried out from the perspective of the Italian National Health Service. Outcomes included discounted costs (in euros at 2013 value), life-years gained (LYG), quality-adju…
Scritti in onore di Pellegrino Capaldo
2014
La qualità dei servizi è stata riconosciuta come un rilevante aspetto caratterizzante la performance dell’azienda pubblica, analogamente alla capacità di operare secondo criteri di efficienza e nel rispetto dei vincoli di bilancio. Sebbene sia possibile riscontrare alcuni significativi casi di adozione di politiche di customer satisfaction nelle amministrazioni pubbliche italiane, a tutt’oggi il tema presenta significative criticità, specialmente in ordine agli aspetti metodologici e agli strumenti operativi che consentano di integrare dette politiche nel sistema di programmazione e controllo delle aziende che erogano tali servizi. Il presente lavoro adotta una diversa prospettiva di analis…

Production of written French skills by first generation immigrants in working age
2013
This paper aims to identify factors explaining the level of proficiency in written French by immigrants in working age, knowing that few research has been conducted in France on this issue. The originality of this paper is the stochastic production frontier model to explain the scores in written French and the productive performance of immigrants (considered as producers of their own skills). The main results show that mother tongue, age at immigration, social life and mother's diploma are elements which influence the effectiveness of this production. They play a crucial role in the ability of immigrants to use effectively their duration of stay in France and their length of education, cons…
The Role of Information and Communication Technologies in the Relationship Between Group Effectiveness and Group Potency
2008
The aim of this research is to examine the role of information and communication technologies in the relationship between group effectiveness and group potency changes. A laboratory experiment compared 44 groups of four members, working in two communication media—face-to-face condition and computer-mediated communication (CMC). Groups developed a project during 4 weekly meetings during a 1-month period. No significant difference in group potency between communication media was found initially. However, different patterns of group potency development over time were identified. Group potency increased in the face-to-face condition, whereas it remained stable in the CMC condition. Results sho…
Effectiveness & the role of social media in a small organization's strategy in the personal training industry
2018
Ihmisten kiinnostus omaa hyvinvointia sekä fitness-alaa kohtaan ovat kasvaneet viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana. Kysyntä personal trainereille on nousussa, ja itse ala kasvattaa suosiotaan koko ajan. Samaan aikaan sosiaalinen media on noussut vahvaksi osaksi ihmisten jokapäiväistä elämää. Nykyisin sosiaalista mediaa ei käytä vain kuluttajat, vaan monet organisaatiot ovat myös oppineet hyödyntämään sen tarjoamia mahdollisuuksia. Sosiaalinen media on mahdollistanut uudenlaisen tavan organisaatioille kommunikoida kuluttajien kanssa, mikä on tuonut organisaatiot ja kuluttajat lähemmäksi toisiaan. Monet organisaatiot eivät kuitenkaan tiedä, kuinka hyödyntää sosiaalista mediaa tehokkaimmalla mahd…
