L’ESPERIENZA DEL PNRR: LE FONTI DEL DIRITTO DAL POLICENTRISMO ALLA NORMAZIONE EURO-GOVERNATIVA
2022
The A. gives an overview of the Euro-National normative framework under which the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience of the Italian State (NPRR) hase been developed and it is implemented. The core of the analysis is the impact of EU norms regulating Next generation EU and the Recovery and Resilience Facility on the Italian Constitutional "order" of sources of Law. It is dedicated particular attention to the "legislative measures" defined in the NPRR, the system of evaluation of compliance to the Plan concerning those measures and the normative "practice" of its implementation. The main target of the research is to evaluate if both the pandemic emergency and the legal responses, among …
Territorial development models: A new strategic vision to analyze the relationship between the environment, public goods and geographical indications
2021
Abstract Geographical indications (GIs) are increasingly seen as a tool to support sustainable local development. This study focuses on how geographical indications can contribute to a territorial public system, and how this can be threatened by several market failures. Starting from the economic literature on public goods, this document highlights how geographical indications, and their legal protection, can guarantee a sustainable development model. This article aims to illustrate and develop new economic arguments that support a more comprehensive political approach to the contribution that Geographical indications make to sustainable development. The research is focused in Sicily on the…
In-Between ‘Smart’ Urban Growth and ‘Sluggish’ Rural Development? Reframing Population Dynamics in Greece, 1940–2019
2020
Multifaceted demographic dynamics have shaped population growth in Mediterranean Europe, reflecting a metropolitan cycle from urbanization to re-urbanization. To assess the distinctive impact of economic downturns on population dynamics, the present study illustrates the results of an exploratory analysis that assesses urban expansion and rural decline at various temporal scales in Greece, a peripheral country in southeastern Europe. Statistical analysis based on multivariate exploratory techniques outlined the persistent increase of regional populations, evidencing the distinctive role of agglomeration/scale with urbanization and early suburbanization phases (1940&ndash
Pharmacological Neuroenhancement, Perceived Stress, and Resilience in Spine Surgeons–A Cross-Sectional Survey
2022
Background Spine surgeons are usually exposed to high workload and demanding work conditions. Although the relationship between pharmacological neuroenhancement (PNE) and resilience (i.e., the ability to recover from stress), as well as perceived stress and resilience-enhancing factors, has been investigated in the general population, less is known about the impact of those factors in spine surgeons. This study aimed to close that gap by investigating the relationship between PNE use and resilience, perceived stress, or resilience-enhancing factors in spine surgeons. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a sample of 582 spine surgeons in German-speaking countries (Austria, German…
Smartness, Sustainability and Resilience: Are They Related?
2019
In the imminent future, cities have to face not only an increasing urbanization but also the negative consequences of natural and human disasters. From this point of view, a city should be considered as vulnerable to climate change and other natural negative events. Thus, the challenge of a city consists in remaining on a sustainable development path. To reach this object the concepts of smartness, sustainability and resilience for a city should be intertwined. Starting from the analysis of a bright city as an integrated approach, the aim of this study consists in propose a first framework of an index which should include sustainable, smartness and resilient indicators. Integrating and meas…
Forest resources and sustainable tourism, a combination for the resilience of the landscape and development of mountain areas.
2020
The development of sustainable tourism models has been widely discussed in the economic literature. If on the one hand the demand for tourism has grown in recent years, on the other it is necessary to have adequate planning and political tools. The problems of sustainable tourism appear more complex when sustainable tourism involves development opportunities that require the support of the local community and the management of natural resources which are generally common goods. In these circumstances, new management structures need to be created, which can both meet the needs of the local community and ensure adequate management of natural resources. This study analyzes the connections betw…
Sustainable Development and Transition Management: A New Approach for European Peripheral Areas
2020
This paper on Europe as a sustainable economy and its policy for peripheral areas contributes to the analysis on the relationship between Transition Management and new approaches to regional development. It follows that regions are different ecosystems which require not only conventional macroeconomic visions for development processes, but also a precise spatial approach based on different levels of geographical aggregation. The physical environment, therefore, becomes a useful element not only to analyze the transition mechanisms, but also as a constitutive part of economic, social and environmental changes in the short, medium, and long term. A number of interesting aspects are examined a…
Cyber Situational Awareness in Critical Infrastructure Protection
2020
The European Union promotes collaboration between authorities and the private sector, and the providers of the most critical services to society face security related obligations. In this paper, critical infrastructure is seen as a system of systems that can be subject to cyber-attacks and other disturbances. Situational awareness (SA) enhances preparations for and decision-making during assessed and unforeseen disruptive incidents, and promoting Cyber effective situational awareness (CSA) requires information sharing between the different interest groups. This research is constructive in nature, where innovative constructions developed as solutions for domain-specific real world problem…
Influence of Psychological Factors in Federated Futsal and Lifeguard Athletes, Differences by Gender and Category
2021
This research aims to analyse the differences in optimism, resilience, engagement and competitive anxiety as a function of the sport modality practiced in lifeguarding (individual sport) and futsal (team sport); the sport category by age (cadet or youth) and gender. The LOT-R optimism questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the Competitive Anxiety Scale (SAS-2) were applied to a sample of 189 participants (139 men and 50 womwn) aged between 14 and 17 years. The following statistical tests are performed: Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's linear correlation, Student's t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene's test and multivaria…
Sperata resilienza
2018
Il termine ‘resilienza’ proveniva dalla metallurgia: indica, nella tecnologia metallurgica, la capacità di un metallo di resistere alle forze che vi vengono applicate. Per un metallo, la resilienza rappresenta il contrario della fragilità. Così anche in campo psicologico: la persona resiliente è l’opposto di una facilmente vulnerabile, ovvero che vive: la Notte dell’io (Mormese C., 2004). Etimologicamente ‘resilienza’ viene fatta deriva dal latino resalio, iterativo di salio. Qualcuno propone un collegamento suggestivo fra il signiicato originario di resalio, che connotava anche il gesto dell’uomo di risalire sull’imbarcazione capovolta dalla forza del mare, e l’attuale utilizzo in campo ps…
