Cities Organising Smart Innovative Communities
No full textCities of tomorrow are planning smart itineraries for the urban future,
adopting a smart city view to support urban innovation by fostering collaborative
processes for sustainable urban growth and quality of life improvement. As smart
innovative communities, cities are adopting a smart city framework to urban planning
for innovation. A smart city helps to shape the city of the future an engine of
urban innovation, a space for collaborative and organisational innovation. Cities are
organising smart innovative urban communities, planning a smart city framework
for social urban growth. The European cities are defining smart urban planning,
enabling the smartness an ability to shape organisational and collaborative
urban spaces that support social open innovation. Sustainable urban future relies on
cities becoming smart communities that support urban innovation for good life, promoting
collaborative and multi-actor innovation, following a human-centred
approach to smart urban development, and promoting a smart city vision and community
to urban growth

A Plethysmographic Sensor Based on FBG Embedded in a Soft Silicone Patch
No full textCardiovascular diseases are the main cause of disability and global death, and their rapid spread is a sign of strong concern for the scientific community. In this scenario, devices, able to continuously and non-invasively monitor heart parameters could be very useful for timely diagnosis, essential for the prevention of premature deaths. Recently, among the most popular wearable devices, sensors based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) play an important role. FBG, in fact, allows to monitor different physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure and respiratory rate. The continuous monitoring of these parameters is of extreme importance from the clinical point of view, as it allows detecting physiological warning signals in a timely manner, which in some cases could be fatal. This is due to the many advantages provided by FBG, in fact, in addition to being minimally invasive, they are immune to electromagnetic interference, biocompatible, highly sensitive and allow for the multiplexing. In this work, we propose, therefore, a new sensor based on FBG for plethysmography of peripheral arteries. The proposed sensor is embedded in a soft silicone matrix capable of increasing wearability and sensitivity, also allowing to protect the sensor from external stress. The preliminary results show that the obtained sensor can record continuously and non-invasively the plethysmographic signal with a clear distinction of the systolic and diastolic peaks, in whose waveform important cardiovascular information is contained

Unveiling the drivers of SMEs’ cooperation with universities. Do firms’ CEO characteristics matter?
No full textThis paper aims to investigate the microprocesses underlying university‒industry cooperation (UIC) in SMEs by examining the role played by CEOs’ characteristics. While previous research on UIC has focused predominantly on contextual factors and firm characteristics, we explore the relationship between CEOs’ individual dimensions and SMEs’ decisions regarding UIC. Specifically, we investigate the associations between CEOs’ psychological characteristics, such as self-efficacy, risk-taking propensity, and perceptions of government support, as well as CEOs’ skills, and the choice of UIC channels (i.e. traditional, service, and bidirectional learning and commercialisation). By applying structural equation modelling to a sample of 130 entrepreneurs, our findings reveal that the use of traditional channels is negatively associated with CEOs’ risk-taking propensity, whereas service channels are preferred by CEOs with high self-efficacy. Bidirectional learning and commercialisation channels require CEOs’ self-efficacy and technical skills. CEOs’ perceptions of government support are positively associated with the adoption of complex UIC channels
Coastal Eddy Detection in the Balearic Sea: SWOT Capabilities
No full textMesoscale coastal eddies are key components of ocean circulation, mediating the transport of heat, nutrients, and marine debris. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides high-resolution sea surface height data, offering a novel opportunity to improve the observation and characterization of these features, especially in coastal regions where conventional altimetry is limited. In this study, we investigate a mesoscale anticyclonic coastal eddy observed southwest of Mallorca Island, in the Balearic Sea, to assess the impact of SWOT-enhanced altimetry in resolving its structure and dynamics. Initial eddy identification is performed using satellite ocean color imagery, followed by a qualitative and quantitative comparison of multiple altimetric datasets, ranging from conventional nadir altimetry to wide-swath products derived from SWOT. We analyze multiple altimetric variables—Sea Level Anomaly, Absolute Dynamic Topography, Velocity Magnitude, Eddy Kinetic Energy, and Relative Vorticity—highlighting substantial differences in spatial detail and intensity. Our results show that SWOT-enhanced observations significantly improve the spatial characterization and dynamical depiction of the eddy. Furthermore, Lagrangian transport simulations reveal how altimetric resolution influences modeled transport pathways and retention patterns. These findings underline the critical role of SWOT in advancing the monitoring of coastal mesoscale processes and improving our ability to model oceanic transport mechanisms
Fabio Besta: Moving the focus from accounting systems to intuitions on firm concept, administration processes and value creation theory
No full textThis article aims to reconsider Fabio Besta's (1845–1922) research from new and competing points of view. The study follows a biographical research approach by critically discussing some of the principal writings and contributions of Fabio Besta, particularly La Ragioneria (Volumes I, II and III). Unlike prior studies on this topic, we adopt a (reverse) deductive theoretical approach. Starting from the analysis of the accounting model proposed by Fabio Besta, we highlight the still contemporary relevance slightly more than 100 years after his death of the concepts of the firm and wealth production. These are usually framed from a static and atomistic perspective. The article shows that Besta anticipated the conceptualisation of pivotal concepts, such as value creation and goodwill, in modern value-based theory and accounting systems. Moreover, the findings attempt to highlight insights into contexts such as business administration, business valuation and performance measurement with which accounting interacts
