Get PDFThe etymology and the development of the meanings of well-being, prevention and risk, as well as their relationships, are presented and discussed. It is reminded that the World Health Organization defined health as physical, mental and social well-being, and that the European Union prescribed a general and programmed primary prevention, integrated with the design of work situations. However, current interpretations and practices mistake well-being with wellness, and prevention with the management of existing risks, while usually attributing the responsibility to the acting subjects in the workplace. The Interdisciplinary Research Program “Organization and Well-being”, for over three decades, has interpreted well-being as a perfectible process, and outlined pathways of work analysis that actually carry out primary prevention
Industria 4.0: Oltre il determinismo tecnologico
Get PDFIn the age of the so-called fourth industrial revolution, the social sciences and organizational studies are called to a very demanding challenge: overcoming technological determinism to understand the dynamics and perspectives of a transformation not at all automatic. The contributions collected in this book address, starting from different disciplinary perspectives, some of the most relevant questions posed by technological transformation: which are the dominant actors of this transformation? What is the relationship between technological transformation and organizational action? What is the role of workers in the technological transition? The element common to all contributions is the reasoned removal of a deterministic interpretation of technological transformation, the methodological rejection of the idea of self-development of technology
Il mare nei paesaggi letterari dell’India antica
Get PDFQuesto articolo fa parte dell’ottavo numero dei Quaderni di PsicoArt che include molti dei testi raccolti dieci anni fa da Gianni Scalia e Raffaele Milani: erano gli anni in cui si discuteva assai di paesaggio, natura, ambiente, territorio, luogo, spazio, cercando di comprenderne il senso e il valore, la relazione e l’arricchimento reciproco in un ampio registro semantico. Si dà ora forma ai materiali di quella ricerca, conservandone lo spirito. È un viaggio che muove dal lontano mondo greco-latino e arriva alle tesi romantiche sulla natura inserendovi anche un confronto tra le culture: indiana, cinese, giapponese. Autorevoli studiosi commentano filosofi e scrittori, correnti letterarie e di pensiero della più alta tradizione mondiale, affinché la dignità dell’antico possa significare il futuro

Suitability Evaluation of Specific Shallow Geothermal Technologies Using a GIS-Based Multi Criteria Decision Analysis Implementing the Analytic Hierarchic Process
Get PDFThe exploitation potential of shallow geothermal energy is usually defined in terms of
site-specific ground thermal characteristics. While true, this assumption limits the complexity of the
analysis, since feasibility studies involve many other components that must be taken into account
when calculating the effective market viability of a geothermal technology or the economic value of a
shallow geothermal project. In addition, the results of a feasibility study are not simply the sum of
the various factors since some components may be conflicting while others will be of a qualitative
nature only. Different approaches are therefore needed to evaluate the suitability of an area for
shallow geothermal installation. This paper introduces a new GIS platform-based multicriteria
decision analysis method aimed at comparing as many different shallow geothermal relevant factors
as possible. Using the Analytic Hierarchic Process Tool, a geolocalized Suitability Index was obtained
for a specific technological case: the integrated technologies developed within the GEOTeCH Project.
A suitability map for the technologies in question was drawn up for Europe
Off-the-job training and the shifting role of part-time and temporary employment across institutional models. Comparing Italian and British firms
Get PDFThis article investigates intensity and composition of off-the-job training investments of Italian and British firms in relation to their workforce heterogeneity with respect to the presence of non-standard workers. The main purpose is to assess the relationship between off-the-job training volumes and composition and the recourse to the main types of non-standard employment, i.e. temporary and part-time contracts, at firm level. Empirical evidence drawn from national surveys of the two countries shows more similarities than expected in terms of the correlation between non-standard employment and training volumes whilst substantial differences arise when disaggregating training interventions according to the types of skills to be developed. Both institutional settings and the different role of part-time and temporary employment in the labour markets of the two countries contribute to interpretation of results
Influenze manzoniane nelle pagine di Ignazio Silone. Innaturalità della giustizia
Get PDF[The Manzoni’s influence on the works by Ignazio Silone. The justice innaturality] The essay aims to analyse two Silone’s novels, Fontamara and The Secret of Luca, to trace how Manzoni influenced these works through images and scenes that Silone took from The Betrothed. Result is that Silone and Manzoni focused on the same subject: the ease with which man transforms the justice in legal order and, thanks to the legal formalism, for-gets virtue. Law thus becomes a mere instrument to goal exclusive interests and passions
Probing the origin of extragalactic magnetic fields with Fast Radio Bursts
Get PDFThe joint analysis of the Dispersion and Faraday Rotation Measure from distant, polarised Fast Radio Bursts may be used to put constraints on the origin and distribution of extragalactic magnetic fields on cosmological scales. While the combination of Dispersion and Faraday Rotation Measure can in principle give the average magnetic fields along the line-of-sight,in practice this method must be used with care because it strongly depends on the assumed magnetisation model on large cosmological scales. Our simulations show that the observation
of Rotation Measures with greater than or equal to 1 − 10 rad/m2 in ∼ 10^2 − 10^3 Fast Radio Bursts will likely
be able to discriminate between extreme scenarios for the origin of cosmic magnetic fields, independent of the exact distribution of sources with redshift. This represent a strong case for incoming (e.g. ALERT, CHIME) and future (e.g. with the Square Kilometer Array) radio
polarisation surveys of the sky
Sulla Medea d’Euripide. Quale diritto e dove l’amor filiale?

Simulations of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the local Universe and the origin of cosmic magnetic fields
Get PDFWe simulate the propagation of cosmic rays at ultra-high energies, ≳1018 eV, in models of extragalactic magnetic fields in constrained simulations of the local Universe. We use constrained initial conditions with the cosmological magnetohydrodynamics code ENZO. The resulting models of the distribution of magnetic fields in the local Universe are used in the CRPROPA code to simulate the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We investigate the impact of six different magneto-genesis scenarios, both primordial and astrophysical, on the propagation of cosmic rays over cosmological distances. Moreover, we study the influence of different source distributions around the Milky Way. Our study shows that different scenarios of magneto-genesis do not have a large impact on the anisotropy measurements of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. However, at high energies above the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin (GZK)-limit, there is anisotropy caused by the distribution of nearby sources, independent of the magnetic field model. This provides a chance to identify cosmic ray sources with future full-sky measurements and high number statistics at the highest energies. Finally, we compare our results to the dipole signal measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory. All our source models and magnetic field models could reproduce the observed dipole amplitude with a pure iron injection composition. Our results indicate that the dipole is observed due to clustering of secondary nuclei in direction of nearby sources of heavy nuclei. A light injection composition is disfavoured, since the increase in dipole angular power from 4 to 8 EeV is too slow compared to observation by the Pierre Auger Observatory
