Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo

2021

L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…

Urban shrinkage became a central issue in both the scientific debate and the political agenda of several European cities. According to EUROSTAT data (2019) about 40% of European cities with more than 200000 inhabitants are losing population. A shrinkage that is more explicit in a progressive underutilization of the built heritage as well as in the concomitant increase of abandoned areas. In this controversial framework of structural mutation of the city urban policies in Europe try to decline the degrowth as a strategic opportunity to invest in green areas in order to increase urban quality and to act simultaneously on the development of local economies. With respect to the above framework this contribution focuses on the evaluation of the effects that the project of new public green spaces have generated on some sample areas on the outskirts of the city of Palermo. An urban context where according to the latest Svimez Report (2019) the phenomenon of urban shrinkage represents a constantly growing trend and on which the new Master Plan operates through a revival of interventions on environmental capital and urban green areas of the city.Settore ICAR/21 - Urbanistica

Collaborative Content Downloading in VANETs with Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation

2019

Vehicle collaborative content downloading has become a hotspot in current vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) research.

Funcionamiento neuropsicológico en drogodependientes VIH/SIDA inmunodeprimidos: Importancia de la fase de la infección y del consumo de drogas

2000

Todavía no disponemos de factores de riesgo definitivos que permitan predecir la naturaleza y magnitud de las complicaciones neuropsicológicas asociadas a la infección por VIH. Con este trabajo nos planteamos estudiar la naturaleza del deterioro neuropsicológico asociado al VIH en drogodependientes con historia de consumo de drogas por vía intravenosa inmunodeprimidos, así como determinar la influencia que tienen sobre el mismo la fase clínica de la infección (asintomáticolSIDA) y el consumo de drogas. Para ello hemos utilizado una muestra de 20 drogodependientes voluntarios en distintas fases de la infección (A3 y C3). En cada uno de estos grupos la mitad de los sujetos se encuentra en abs…

The use of positively valued adjectives and adverbs in Polish and Estonian casual conversations

2019

Abstract In this paper cultural differences between Polish and Estonian conversational strategies are analysed in respect of how the evaluative words are used and what their degree of deliberateness is. The study compares the usage of adjectives and adverbs with positive value in the excerpts from Polish and Estonian corpora of casual conversation. The quantitative and qualitative comparison demonstrates that their overall frequency and the pragmatic functions are very similar. The differences of the conversational styles lay in greater accumulation and intensification of the evaluatives in the Polish conversations and in the tendency to externalize the positive affect in the Estonian ones.…

The Complexity of Value and the Evaluation of Complexity: Social Use Value and Multi-criteria Analysis

2018

The “challenge of complexity” is one of the many points of convergence between the Encyclical Laudato si’ and the evolution of post-modern scientific thought. This study aims to analyze how complexity represents the essential element of the profound renewal in the scientific paradigm of the discipline of evaluation, particularly in regard to the theory of value, the categories of value, and the instruments of multi-criteria evaluation. Some contemporary theories of value propose, in fact, a complex source of value, such as surpluses of energy and of information (Ecological Economics) or as the creative and synergistic combination of three surpluses, namely energetic and non-entropic, geneal…

Philosophy and science: the axes of evil in disability studies?

2007

In this review, I concentrate on analysing the response Tom Shakespeare’s Disability rights and wrongs has awoken in the disability studies community. I argue that the complicated relationship between politics and science is the underlying cause for many controversies in disability studies. The research field should regain its autonomy and scrutinise properly its ontological premises. The field of disability studies in the UK is in turmoil. During the past 10 years or so, there have been several debates that have revolved around the social model of disability. The latest source of a heated debate is Tom Shakespeare’s Disability rights and wrongs . Many of us working outside the UK have foll…
