Drivers, Barriers, and Enablers of Gender Equality Certification Systems: Insights from a Case Study
No full textThe growing attention to gender issues has recently led to the introduction of new accounting tools aimed at measuring, reporting, and evaluating gender data to promote a conscious and proactive behavior toward gender equality in organizations. In Italy, the UNI/PdR 125:2022 practice defines guidelines for creating inclusive and gender-equal workplaces and obtaining the certification for gender equality. Based on a qualitative approach and case study method, this study explores the drivers, barriers, enablers, and benefits of gender equality certification systems according to the UNI/PdR 125:2022 practice. Given the recent introduction of this tool, research on this subject is still minimal. This study represents a pilot case and can lay the foundations for further qualitative or quantitative studies to investigate emerging drivers, barriers, and enablers in large samples of companies to confirm, extend, or refute the identified factors. Practical implications for enterprises and policymakers are discussed
Economics of Agroforestry Systems as Climate Change Mitigation Strategy in the Mediterranean Region
No full textThis dissertation highlights the urgent need for climate change mitigation, emphasizing the role of agroforestry as a sustainable solution. Agroforestry combines woody perennials with crops and livestock, contributing to carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and resilience to climate change. Agroforestry offers a multifunctional approach to mitigating climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing soil health, and increasing farm resilience, aligning with the EU's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. The research explains key practices like silvopastoralism and silvoarable systems, highlighting their benefits for carbon sequestration, soil health, and biodiversity.
The research explores the extent of agroforestry adoption in Europe, its economic trade-offs, and its potential for carbon sequestration. The barriers to widespread adoption of agroforestry such as lack of knowledge and financial incentives are also highlighted. Despite many advantages, the adoption of agroforestry remains limited in Europe, primarily due to knowledge gaps, economic trade-offs, and policy constraints. The research calls for context-specific initiatives and financial incentives to overcome these barriers.
Using a sample of farmers from Italy’s Marche region, the awareness and willingness of farmers to adopt agroforestry is examined. Findings reveal that while most farmers recognize agroforestry’s environmental benefits, financial and knowledge-related barriers hinder adoption. Education, land size, and agricultural experience significantly influence willingness. It is recommended to target awareness campaigns, financial incentives, and agroforestry training programs to encourage adoption.
Further, the EU policies are reviewed related to agroforestry, with a focus on Italy. The review explores the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other environmental initiatives aimed at promoting agroforestry. Despite policy advancements, challenges such as complex regulations and insufficient financial support persist. The analysis emphasizes the need for better policy implementation, robust monitoring, and direct payments to enhance the adoption of agroforestry systems.
Agroforestry emerges as a promising strategy to address climate change and agricultural sustainability. While environmental benefits are well-documented, economic trade-offs and socio-political barriers must be addressed. The major recommendations of this research include increasing financial support, enhancing farmer education, and integrating agroforestry into broader environmental policies.This dissertation highlights the urgent need for climate change mitigation, emphasizing the role of agroforestry as a sustainable solution.

The Young Hegel and the Search for a Language
Get PDFThe search for a language pervades Hegel’s early writings and characterizes his self-understanding as an intellectual. At first, in Tübingen and Berne, the language that Hegel is in search of must be such as to bring intellectuals and the people closer together and, at the same time, it must act as a glue for the people, that is, it must encourage individuals to identify with the community they belong to. Later, in Frankfurt, Hegel will turn to the search for a language appropriate to science and, at the same time, will criticize forms of language regarded as inadequate; this will lead to his first attempts to develop a system

No full textWomen Upon Women In Contemporary British Drama (2000-2017) [Revised Second Edition]
No full textFollowing an overview of the history of British female playwriting, this book explores the themes and concerns that women playwrights associate with women, discussing an array of female characters in plays written between 2000 and 2017, just before the Harvey Weinstein watershed and the global spread of the #MeToo movement. This study of female dramatis personae examines both intentional and incidental circulation of feminist perspectives in drama before 2017, which reflected, testified to, and helped foster a renewed social and political engagement with gender equality. The book includes interviews with playwrights Lucy Prebble, Alia Bano, and Ella Hickson, offering valuable insights and perspectives on feminist and gender issues in drama and the broader theatre industry
