Il teatro dell’oppresso come metodologia trasformativa per favorire il dialogo interculturale.
Get PDFPromuovere la cultura del dialogo utilizzando metodologie attive e trasformative rappresenta una sfida imprescindibile per le istituzioni educative. In tal senso, il Teatro dell’Oppresso, fondato dal regista Augusto Boal e ispirato alla pedagogia di Paulo Freire, può costituire un approccio appropriato per promuovere nelle/i partecipanti un processo di co-costruzione di culture e significati. Sulla base di tali premesse, il contributo illustra l’esperienza del laboratorio di Teatro dell’Oppresso condotto nell’ambito del corso di Intercultural education and social integration dell’Università Europea di Roma. L’occasione ha permesso alle autrici non solo di rilevare l’efficacia di tale metodologia, ma anche di riflettere su quanto sia importante, nel contesto odierno,
rispondere alle emergenze educative attraverso “la pedagogia del dialogo”
Market Perceptions and Innovation Trends in the Coffee Machines and Grinders Industry: A Cross-Market Analysis
No full textThe Country-of-Origin Effect (COE) has long been recognized as a crucial factor shaping consumer perceptions and purchasing behaviour in international markets. In the coffee equipment industry, including both coffee machines and grinders, Italian brands have built a strong reputation by leveraging a unique combination of heritage, craftsmanship, and technological excellence. However, in an increasingly competitive global landscape - where countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States also play a dominant role in product innovation and engineering - technological expertise is no longer an exclusive advantage of Italian manufacturers. The present research aims to assess the extent to which Italian companies still retain a competitive edge in this field and how much of their historical advantage has now been disseminated among companies from other countries, including those mentioned above. This study empirically examines the impact of the Country-of-Origin Effect (COE) on consumer decision-making in both professional and home-use coffee machine markets, with a specific focus on brand equity, consumer ethnocentrism, and competitive differentiation. Through semi-structured interviews with key industry stakeholders and a subsequent thematic analysis, the research seeks to identify the strategic levers that Italian brands can leverage to strengthen their market leadership. In particular, the study explores three core dimensions: i) the influence of COE on consumer perceptions; ii) competitive brand positioning in a globalized market; and iii) the role of product innovation in sustaining long-term differentiation. Furthermore, this study explores how value co-creation through collaborations between coffee machine producers and specialty coffee suppliers can strengthen brand positioning and foster product innovation. The findings will provide critical insights into how companies can balance tradition and innovation to sustain a competitive advantage in the evolving global marketplace. The results aims to provide valuable insights into consumer preferences and industry trends, assisting manufacturers in making strategic decisions
Land scarcity, sustainable uses and environmental policies.
Get PDFthat can either be used for food consumption, resulting in pollution, or invested in natural
capital. Land scarcity imposes a quantity constraint that creates a trade-off between these
alternative uses. This constraint shapes the dynamics of the system, influencing its differential
equations and leading to a differential–algebraic system of equations (DAE). This approach
represents a novelty compared to environmental dynamic models that rely solely on differential
equations. Using this analytical framework, we show that shadow prices and stocks are closely
interconnected and must be determined simultaneously. We use the DAE system to explore
the impact of supranational policies aimed at achieving broader environmental goals on land
allocation in the small economy. We derive two main results. First, the relative effectiveness
of policy instruments is determined by the pollution intensity of consumption: when pollution
intensity is low, incentives that promote land investment in natural capital are more efficient;
conversely, when pollution intensity is high, regulatory measures that limit land use for
consumption become more effective. Second, although temporary policies do not affect the
long-run steady state of the system, they significantly accelerate the transition toward a more
sustainable land allocation in the medium term
La Consulta dimezzata, la Magistratura rampante e il Parlamento inesistente
Get PDFIl titolo della cronaca di questo quadrimestre, oltre a essere un esplicito richiamo alle opere calviniane – e volutamente un po’ provocatorio –, si ritiene possa essere sufficientemente evocativo del quadrimestre da poco conclusosi. Questo perché si ritiene possa descrivere efficacemente la complessa dinamica dei tre poteri dello Stato: una Corte costituzionale privata di quattro suoi membri, una magistratura particolarmente attiva nelle proprie funzioni di controllo e, non da ultimo, un Parlamento che ha mostrato- ancora una volta – evidenti difficoltà nel raggiungere le convergenze necessarie per le nomine istituzionali di sua competenza.
Questo quadrimestre si è caratterizzato per uno scontro istituzionale di particolare intensità, culminato in una crisi che ha investito direttamente i vertici dell’Esecutivo, mentre parallelamente si è consumato un braccio di ferro sulla riforma della giustizia [...

No full textIn this brief note, we investigate the impact of Pseudo-Aristotle’s Mechanical
Questions on modern physics. In particular, we show how they contrast with
Archimedes’ statics, which is based on the notion of equilibrium. For the Pseudo-
Aristotle, instead, the notion of displacements plays a central role. We then see how
Guidobaldo del Monte tries to reconcile Archimedes with Pseudo-Aristotle and how
Bernardino Baldi deeply understands the meaning of the Mechanical Questions. Our
considerations show how modern physics has increasingly explicitly abandoned
Aristotle’s dynamic view of nature
Prima della Memo. La chiesa fanese dei Santi apostoli Filippo e Giacomo: aggiunte e precisazioni
No full textil contributo indaga, con aggiunte e precisazioni, le vicende della chiesa dei santi Filippo e Giacomo e dell'annesso monastero delle Clarisse, abbattuti entrambi agli inizi dell'Ottocento. Su quell'area fu quindi edificato l'edificio scolastico intitolato a Luigi Rossi, attualmente sede della Mediateca Montanari (Memo)
