Golden Power e controllo degli investimenti esteri diretti: verso un sistema europeo di screening coordinato
No full textPoverty, economic freedom, and the size of government in the eurozone
No full textThis paper investigates the connection between economic freedom and poverty, with a particular attention devoted to the size of government. We focus on 12 eurozone countries in the period between 2000 and 2019. The common framework of these countries is the adherence to a policy model relying on competition, flexibility, and a non-active role of government intervention in the belief that through economic freedom, the common currency is able to achieve prosperity and growth. We connect monetary poverty with liberalization indexes released by the Fraser institute through a long-run dynamic cointegration technique. The general results tell us that the higher the freedom index the higher the number of people living below the median income. When considering the components of the economic freedom index related to the size of government, we find that the higher the sub-indexes—meaning lower public investments, consumption and top-marginal tax rates—the higher the percentage of people living below the poverty threshold. The results—verified through several robustness checks related to the alternative indicator and the sample—support the conclusion that wider liberalizations worsened the general living conditions and that government intervention is an important tool to redistribute resources and reduce the income gap among individuals

How should vaccine hesitancy be measured in healthcare workers? A systematic review of the measurement properties of validated tools
No full textThe use of validated tools to assess vaccine hesitancy is essential for designing strategies to improve vaccine uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs). This systematic review identified and evaluated tools measuring knowledge, attitudes, practices, vaccine intentions, and vaccine hesitancy in HCWs. Searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and JBI (PROSPERO: CRD42020212252). The methodological quality of the instruments was determined using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology. Of 11,580 articles screened, 33 studies were included, identifying 32 measurement tools related to vaccines recommended for HCWs, including influenza, HPV, HBV, and pertussis. The King’s Nurses Influenza Vaccination Questionnaire was the most frequently used and demonstrated reliable properties. Two other validated questionnaires showed adequate measurement properties. No validated tool was identified to comprehensively assess vaccine hesitancy across all HCW-recommended vaccines, limiting instrument applicability for broad implementation in healthcare settings

Sostenibilità ambientale nella gestione del business crociere
No full textEnvironmental sustainability in cruise tourism management. In recent decades, ports have
evolved into strategic hubs that drive economic development while facing growing sustainability
challenges. This study explores the intersection of port management, cruise tourism, and environmental
responsibility, analysing how the industry is adapting to increasing regulatory and consumer-driven
demands for sustainability. A key focus is the implementation of advanced green technologies to reduce
emissions, improve energy efficiency, and protect marine ecosystems. Additionally, an empirical analysis
investigates the role of Green Consumption Values in shaping consumer perceptions of cruise brands’
environmental commitments. Findings indicate that tourists with strong Green Consumption Values are
more likely to respond positively to believable green marketing claims, increasing brand trust, brand
engagement, and word-of-mouth intention. The study provides insights for policymakers, port authorities,
and cruise companies, emphasizing the importance of sustainable innovation, transparent communication,
and collaborative governance in driving the industry’s transition toward a greener future
Innovative Solidification and Stabilization Techniques Using Industrial By-Products for Soil Remediation
No full textIn recent decades, heavy industrial discharges have caused severe soil and groundwater pollution. Many areas previously occupied by industries are now represented by lands contaminated by the accumulation of toxic metals, which pose serious risks to human health, plants, animals, and surrounding ecosystems. Among the various potential solutions, the solidification and stabilization (S/S) technique represents one of the most effective technologies for treating and disposing of a wide range of contaminated wastes. This study focuses on the theoretical definition of a green material mix, which will subsequently be used in the solidification process of contaminated industrial soils, optimizing the mix to ensure treatment effectiveness. The mix design was developed through a literature analysis, representing a preliminary theoretical study. This paper explores the application of the S/S process using various additives, including Portland cement, fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and other industrial waste materials, to create an innovative mix design for the treatment of contaminated soils. The main objective is to reduce the permeability and solubility of contaminants while simultaneously improving the mechanical properties of the treated materials. The properties of the studied soils are described along with those of the green materials used, providing a comprehensive overview of the optimization of the resulting mixtures
Crystallization of Lithium Zeolites onto Foamed Geopolymers
No full textLithium-containing zeolites are receiving significant attention due to their intriguing properties in various industrial applications, mainly related to gas separation and catalyzed processes. This paper presents an in-depth exploration of a nucleation strategy aimed at producing porous ceramic monoliths enriched with lithium zeolites. The synthesis was obtained by means of a geopolymer gel conversion, carried out by submerging either sodium- or lithium-rich geopolymers in lithium hydroxide solutions and performing a hydrothermal treatment. A full factorial design of experiments (DoE) was adopted to investigate the effect of LiOH molarity, treatment temperature, and time on the zeolite content in the samples. The most abundant and recurring zeolites obtained were Li-ABW (ABW) and lithium edingtonite (EDI). Concerning the lithium/sodium-containing systems, the competing presence of sodium directed the nucleation towards faujasite as well, together with minor amounts of other zeolites. In contrast, in pure lithium treatment media, the samples showed just ABW and EDI as the only crystalline phases
