Development and scale-up of technologies for wastewater treatment and reuse in Mediterranean African countries: the MADFORWATER project
Get PDFThe MADFORWATER project aims to developing an integrated set of technological and management instruments for the enhancement of wastewater treatment, treated wastewater reuse for irrigation, and water efficiency in agriculture. MADFORWATER focuses its activities on selected hydrological basins located in 3 Mediterranean-African countries (MACs): Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. These countries are representative of the Mediterranean-African region in relation to their population (74% of the region’s inhabitants), GDP (64%), produced WW (88%), rate of WW treatment (50%), and hydrological characteristics. The selected countries are characterized by a relevant water scarcity: the annual renewable water resources are equal to 60% of the of 1000 m3 /y threshold for water-stressed areas, and just 7% of produced WW is currently reused
Nei margini della politica. Scritti per Alessandro Pandolfi
Get PDFQuesto volume per Alessandro Pandolfi contiene gli interventi presentati a Urbino nel 2018 nel congegno a lui dedicato e i contributi di amici e colleghi, che si con-frontano con i principali aspetti della sua ricerca: il mercantilismo sei-settecentesco, l’opera di Foucault (in special modo la genealogia del liberalismo e l'indagine sulla cura di sé), il dibattito sulla natura umana, il nesso tra colonialismo e modernità. Dopo una serie di ricordi che ne ricostruiscono l’impegno nell'inse-gnamento e nella società (Matteo Cottignoli, Anna Tonelli, Stefano Visentin, Toni Negri e Pietro Massarotto), sono raccolti saggi che affrontano temi e problemi pre-senti nella ricerca di Alessandro Pandolfi. Gli autori di questa seconda parte sono: Luigi Alfieri, Luca Basso, Luca Cobbe, Simona Forti, Nicola Giannelli, Augusto Il-luminati, Fabio Raimondi, Maurizio Ricciardi, Domenico Scalzo, Luca Scuccimarra, Alessandro Simoncini, Adelino Zanini
Report about description of the project website
Get PDFThe INCO-Piles 2020 website is available at the following link: https://site.unibo.it/inco-piles-2020/en. The website has been created inside the University of Bologna Platform “Websites on demand”. The main objective of the website is to assure the dissemination of the project results and initiatives. Therefore, the INCO-Piles 2020 website provides:
- An overview on the project and its objectives, with special attention to case studies and round tables. Moreover, specific sections are devoted to the partners’ presentation, to EIT Raw Materials and RIS Strategy and to reference contacts, in order to allow interested people getting more information about the consortium.
- The outputs and results.
- Social media link to follow and share the project activities
Il due in questione. Prospettive interdisciplinari sul riconoscimento
Get PDFIl volume offre una raccolta di contributi nei quali differenti discipline - nello specifico antropologia, psicoanalisi, filosofia, diritto, storia delle dottrine politiche e storiografia - riflettono sulle problematiche epistemiche - in termini di orizzonte di senso, contenutistici e metodologici - che l'utilizzo del concetto di riconoscimento impone loro. Obiettivo è quello di mettere in evidenza come l'alterità non si riduca ad essere mero oggetto del riconoscimento, ma imponga alle discipline un continuo riposizionamento rispetto al proprio statuto scientifico
Causality in Econometric Modeling. From Theory to Structural Causal Modeling
Get PDFThis paper examines different approaches for assessing causality as typically followed in econometrics and proposes a constructive perspective for improving statistical models elaborated in view of causal analysis. Without attempting to be exhaustive, this paper examines some of these approaches. Traditional structural modeling is first discussed. A distinction is then drawn between model-based and design-based approaches. Some more recent developments are examined next, namely history-friendly simulation and information-theory based approaches. Finally, in a constructive perspective, structural causal modeling (SCM) is presented, based on the concepts of mechanism and sub-mechanisms, and of recursive decomposition of the joint distribution of variables. This modeling strategy endeavors at representing the structure of the underlying
data generating process. It operationalizes the concept of causation through the ordering and role-function of the variables in each of the intelligible sub-mechanisms

MADFORWATER. WP1 Water and water-related vulnerabilities in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Task1.3 Analysis and mapping of water stress effects on food security and socio-economic development in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia
No full textThis dataset includes the results of the analysis of the impacts of identified water stress and vulnerabilities on different dimensions of food security and socio-economic development. The analysis builds on literature and public databases and reports. In particular, this dataset contains an extensive database that was collected selecting appropriate food security indicators from diverse sources (World Bank, FAOSTAT, FAO-AQUASTAT) and for all the countries in the Mediterranean covering a time period of 18 years from 1999 to 2017. It was used to assess the linkages between water and food security.
This analysis can contribute to guide the evaluation of the risk of food insecurity with respect to water resources and potential impact on sustainable socio-economic development, and to prioritize actions in the fields of water resources management and food security. Potential users for this dataset include national policy-makers or other decision-makers involved in water management and planning, international and local cooperation organizations, and scientists.
Quantitative and qualitative data were obtained from public data sources, international organizations, official statistics, and from literature review. Collected and generated data quality was contrasted upon literature and expert consultation
Substitution Effects in Intertemporal Problems
Get PDFWe consider a broad class of intertemporal economic problems and we characterize the short and long-run response of the demand for a good to a permanent increase in its market price. Depending on the interplay between self-productivity and time discounting, we show that dynamic substitution effects can generate price elasticities of opposite sign in the short and in the long run
