Power of Paradox: Grassroots Organizations’ Legitimacy Strategies Over Time
2021
Fringe stakeholders with limited resources, such as grassroots organizations (GROs), are often ignored in business and society literature. We develop a conceptual framework and a set of propositions detailing how GROs strategically gain legitimacy and influence over time. We argue that GROs encounter specific paradoxes over the emergence, development, and resolution of an issue, and they address these paradoxes using cognitive, moral, and pragmatic legitimacy strategies. While cognitive and moral strategies tend to be used consistently, the flexible and paradoxical use of pragmatic strategies has important consequences, both for GROs’ legitimacy and for their potential influence over powerf…
Factor Structure and Construct Validity of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory and Its Shorten Version in Chinese Detained Boys
2019
The Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI) was designed to assess psychopathic traits in adolescents. However, there exists limited evidence for the factor structure and psychometric properties of the YPI when used with Chinese detained juveniles. The present study aimed to examine the factor structure and construct validity of the YPI and its shortened version (YPI-S) in a sample of 607 Chinese 14- to 22-year-old detained boys (M = 17.15, SD = 1.09). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a bifactor model which best fit the data at the subscale level for the YPI, and at the item level for the YPI-S. The internal consistency of the YPI and YPI-S scores ranged from marginal to good. Both t…
ALTERNATIVE MODELS FOR REGIONAL AIRPORTS IN LATVIA
2021
Regional airports play a significant role inpromotion of connectivity and regional development. This is one of reasons whyairports are treated as public assets and in 77 % cases (airportsproviding scheduled air transport services) owned and operated by public sectorin the EU. 71 % of these publicairports have corporatized airport operators. Latviahas threepublic civil aviation airports planned for scheduled flights until 2015: Riga InternationalAirport as well as Liepaja Airportand Ventspils Airport (Kurzeme planning region). Latviacurrently has decentralised operational model of airports. Riga InternationalAirport is owned by state and operatedby a joint stock company.Regional airports are…
Interacting With Human Simulations: A Prototype Application
2019
The process of interacting and executing agent-based simulations of human phenomena is complex and difficult to follow for lay people. This is due to 1) limited access to computing power, 2) difficulty in writing analytics scripts and 3) the size and complexity of the simulation space. Consequently, agent-based simulations are normally used once to answer a limited set of questions instead of exploring all the potential paths that the model offers. Here, we describe an approach for developing user experiences that automate the analytic process and rely on interactive visualizations and life histories of societies and agents. This approach helps the user visualize simulation results, pin-poi…
La progettazione di interventi per una mobilità sostenibile in ambito urbano
2014
Lo scopo di questo studio è stato quello di proporre un modo diverso di intendere le ZTL (Zone a Traffico Limitato), sia dal punto di vista della loro pianificazione sia dal punto di vista tecnologico e gestionale. Si intende puntare a risultati concreti e innovativi, ricercando strumenti, processi e soluzioni per il miglioramento della pianificazione, organizzazione e gestione delle ZTL. In particolare, si affronta il tema del road pricing e del parking pricing e di come questi strumenti si possono integrare all’interno del sistema trasportistico già esistente. A fronte di questi temi si vuole proporre un modello di pricing innovativo, sia dal punto di vista tecnologico sia metodologico, c…
Misguided Effort with Elusive Implications
2016
Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, and less susceptibility to crime and addictions. In contrast, self-control failure is linked to maladaptive outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms by which self-control predicts behavior may assist in promoting better regulation and outcomes. A popular approach to understanding self-control is the strength or resource depletion model. Self-control is conceptualized as a limited resource that becomes depleted after a period of exertion resulting in self-control failure. The model has typically been tested using a sequential-task experimental p…
Measurements of alveolar pO2 using 19F-MRI in partial liquid ventilation.
2003
Rationale and Objectives: Partial liquid ventilation using Perfluorcarbon (PFC) is an innovative treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, the underlying mechanisms are not totally clear. The aim was to investigate the distribution of oxygen partial pressure within the PFC-filled lung (ppO 2 ). Methods: Nine pigs underwent partial liquid ventilation, receiving 20 mL PFC/kg bodyweight (bw). Measurements were obtained by a chemical shift selective TurboFLASH sequence at different axial lung levels. ppO 2 was calculated from 1 9 F-MRI by nonlinear curve T 1 -fitting technique after noise correction. Results: Quantification and distribution of ppO 2 was performed successfully. …
La responsabilità degli amministratori di srl. Dalla diligenza del mandatario alla ragionevolezza delle scelte gestionali
2011
This Book deals with the duties of directors in the Italian “società a responsabilità limitata” (s.r.l.), corresponding to a limited liability company without shares, in order to focus on the logic and limits of the directors’ liability and to combat any abusive bringing of the remedies laid down to enforce the above-mentioned duties. For such a purpose, the Book contains: an analysis of the interests involved, both in a s.r.l. “in bonis” and in a s.r.l. in crisis; a comparison with the same issues and solutions in the USA, England, Germany and Switzerland; and the idea to interpret the legal framework in the light of a concept of reasonableness which is more elaborate than that employed by…

Parking Pricing for a Sustainable Transport System
2014
Abstract The purpose of this study has been the develop of a model for designing an efficient parking pricing policy. The aim is an intelligent control and management system of parking pricing integrated with a redefinition of the circulation scheme for a limited traffic zone in the Central Business District (CBD) of Palermo. The transport demand over the entire area of the town has been studied in order to design various parking pricing scenarios with the application of an additional cost on parking inside the selected area of the CBD. This area attracts most of the private vehicular traffic and it is characterized by university faculties, schools, hospitals, offices and commercial areas. …
