How Can Authorities Support Distributed Improvisation During Major Crises? A Study of Decision Bottlenecks Arising During Local COVID-19 Vaccine Roll…
2022
Despite the increased importance attributed to distributed improvisation in major crises, few studies investigate how central authorities can promote a harmonic, coordinated national response while allowing for distributed autonomy and improvisation. One idea implicit in the literature is that central authorities could help track and tackle common decision bottlenecks as they emerge across “improvising” local authorities as a result of shared, dynamic external constraints. To explore this idea we map central functions needed to roll-out vaccines to local populations and identify and classify bottlenecks to decision-making by local authorities managing COVID-19 vaccine roll-out in Norway.

Large body size variation is linked to low communication success in tandem running ants
2019
AbstractDiversity in animal groups is often assumed to increase group performance. In insect colonies, genetic, behavioral and morphological variation among workers can improve colony functioning and resilience. However, it has been hypothesized that during communication processes, differences between workers, e.g. in body size, could also have negative effects. Tandem running is a common recruitment strategy in ants and allows a leader to guide a nestmate follower to resources. A substantial proportion of tandem runs fail because leader and follower loose contact. Using the ant Temnothorax nylanderi as a model system, we tested the hypothesis that tandem running success is impaired if lead…
Les pratiques sportives dans la perspective d'un quartier durable
2013
This paper aims to better understand the role of physical activity in social durability. The empirical study concerns sport and recreational activity among inhabitants of a popular urban district. The exploration, at the same time, of gender and generational categories, shows a large discrepancy between the two groups which stops only at 60 years old. This territorial specificity, referring to European and global French data, enhances a resilience point that can support the role of the actors of sport movement in reinforcing the district social durability.
Ancrage résidentiel et déplacements de proximité à la Fontaines d'Ouche
2013
By studying residential and daily mobilities of the Fontaine d'Ouche inhabitants, we seek to measure their settling in the neighborhood. By the analysis of a questionnaire which concerned 407 individuals, we will treat this issue in two ways: residential anchor and proximity movements.

Nuovi paradigmi per le aree interne. Il caso del Territorio Sicano.
2015
Il contributo descrive i primi esiti della ricerca sulle opportunità di sviluppo del territorio Sicano, condotta nell’ambito del Laboratorio di Sviluppo Locale del Polo Universitario di Ricerca di Bivona e Santo Stefano Quisquina per l’energia, l’ambiente e le risorse del territorio. La ricerca indaga un’area composta da 24 comuni, le cui risorse e coalizioni territoriali già attive possono indirizzare forme di sviluppo verso la ricapitalizzazione del territorio, il recupero del valore della ruralità e della capacità di costruire qualità dell’ambiente e dell’abitare, reti corte di produzione e consumo e offerta turistica. Il contributo, oltre a definire la metodologia di indagine applicata,…
Dissesto idrogeologico e urban eco-planning. Una proposta per contrastare la fragilità del territorio urbano di Agrigento
2017
I più recenti fenomeni naturali calamitosi che hanno interessato l’Italia si sono verificati in concomitanza di anomali cambiamenti climatici la cui causa è il riscaldamento globale. Il V rapporto dell’IPCC 2014 afferma che il global warming è determinato dalle attività antropiche. A livello mondiale, l’Italia è realmente minacciato dalla “desertificazione” per circa 1/5 del territorio nazionale, soprattutto al Sud: la Sicilia con una percentuale del 70% risulta, in tal senso, la regione più a rischio (“Convegno sulla siccità”, CNR per Expo 2015). Con l’innalzamento delle temperature si ha una diminuzione delle precipitazioni e un aumento dell’intensità delle stesse con pericolo di dissesto…
“When You Thought That There Is No One and Nothing”: The Value of Psychodrama in Working With Abused Women
2018
This paper discusses how psychodrama methods and techniques can empower abused women and stimulate changes in their victim role. Through an in-depth exploration, we sought to gain an insider’s perspective of the experiences of change and perceived outcomes for abused women, which could contribute to optimizing gender violence intervention. Theoretically, the study is grounded in the female co-responsibility and trans-generational transmission of women’s victim role from mother to daughter. A mixed methods experimental design employing an explanatory sequential approach to data collection was implemented. A total sample of 33 abused women (15 in the experimental group, and 18 in the control …
Resilience in Organizations and Societies: The State of the Art and Three Organizing Principles for Moving Forward
2021
AbstractResilience has attracted a multitude of scholars from diverse backgrounds and disciplines as it is a desired feature for responding to the adversities that modern societal systems face, not least the Covid-19 pandemic. Existing research displays little convergence on the definition of the concept making a robust theoretical framework and empirical understanding of resilience highly desirable. The aim of this chapter is to provide a more holistic understanding of the complex phenomenon of resilience from a multi-sectorial, cross-national and multidisciplinary perspective by proposing an original approach into the state of the art that might enhance future research. This chapter ident…
