Right to the Future
2017
During the last decade, the city of Palermo has been undergoing relevant transformations from various perspectives. This has been the consequences of a multitude of circumstances, European financial crisis, migrants/refugees crisis, a new administration of the city and an increased awareness and responsibility among the citizens. Various national and international recognitions (Italian Cultural Capital 2018, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Manifesta 12, Youth Capital 2017) have confirmed that they are on the right path. This positive moment has been launched and, progressively, rid- den by many young professionals that decided to challenge the present situation by investing their…

Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advances and practical implementation
2014
Thanks to some technical progress in interferencefilter design based on different technologies, we can finally successfully implement the concept of multispectral filter array-based sensors. This article provides the relevant state-of-the-art for multispectral imaging systems and presents the characteristics of the elements of our multispectral sensor as a case study. The spectral characteristics are based on two different spatial arrangements that distribute eight different bandpass filters in the visible and near-infrared area of the spectrum. We demonstrate that the system is viable and evaluate its performance through sensor spectral simulation. Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advan…
How to get things done in social virtual reality : A study of team cohesion in social virtual reality–enabled teams
2022
Social virtual reality (SVR) enables teams to operate in a virtual environment that simulates and enhances real-world interactions. However, there is an absence of empirical analysis of how SVR can affect the performance of virtual teams. This paper documents how SVR affects the formation of team cohesion (i.e., task cohesion and social cohesion), which is a critical success factor for team performance. To address this gap in the research, we conducted a qualitative study by interviewing 20 members from virtual teams assigned to perform a challenging collaborative task in SVR. As a contribution, our study identifies five primary affordances and 11 sub-affordances for team cohesion in SVR. W…

Principi di concorrenza e obblighi di motivazione nel procedimento di costituzione di società in house
2019
L’articolo analizza la disciplina degli obblighi di motivazione analitica previsti dalla normativa italiana – ed in particolare dal d.lg. 19 agosto 2016, n. 175 (Testo unico in materia di società a partecipazione pubblica) – per la costituzione o l’acquisto di partecipazioni in “società in house”. L’A. sostiene che, sebbene più rigorosa rispetto alla corrispondente disciplina europea, la normativa italiana sia compatibile con i principi, europei e nazionali, in materia di libera concorrenza e auto-determinazione della p.a. This article analyzes the detailed explanation that the public administration must give in order to create “in-house companies” according to Italian legislation addressed…
Ripensare gli oggetti, riprogettare la società
2021
The essay introduces a series of classical essays by Bruno Latour on design and techniques, showing the relationships between Actor Network Theory and semiotics. In particular, the theoretical convergences and problematic nodes on the methodological level concerning the application of certain semiotic notions, such as that of actant and that of enunciation, within Bruno Latour's anthropology are discussed.
