L'Accordo CETA tra UE e Canada: sostenibilità e partecipazione
Get PDFL’Accordo CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) tra Unione europea e Canada è stato definito come lo strumento pattizio più ambizioso ed avanzato raggiunto dalla UE a proposito di liberalizzazione degli scambi e tutela degli investimenti. È entrato in vigore in via provvisoria il 21 settembre 2017 dopo sette anni di negoziati e significative proteste della società civile, combinate ad una minaccia di veto da parte della Regione belga della Vallonia. Il presente lavoro, finanziato dalla Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna, analizza le 1500 pagine di questo Accordo di ultima generazione dell’Unione europea in materia economica, mostrando come la globalizzazione economica sia un fatto non solo sempre più rapido, ma anche irreversibile, che dunque deve essere governato al fine di realizzare un commercio e una tutela degli investimenti internazionali che siano liberi, equi e sostenibili
Decision support system for evaluating the performance of modal interchange
No full textThe tool represents the operationalization of an easy-to-use decision support system that allows decision-makers to rate and visualise the performance of a policy or a node (existing or future) against their attitude to boost an effective modal interchange. The tool is based on 52 Key Factors which have been weighted and grouped into 9 different domains, characterizing the modal interchange in urban contexts. The tool can support the analysis of current policies or node configuration, assessing the performance they have, identifying possible gaps and shortcomings that can lead to the definition of improvements to undertake, and forecast the performance of new interchange projects and/or policy changes, comparing different future scenarios. The tool has been developed in the framework of the Interreg Europe MATCJH-UP project

Sustainable business models for sustainable decision making: an application to reusing offshore gas platforms in the Adriatic Sea
Get PDFThis paper suggests an empirical methodology to use theoretical Sustainable Business Models (SBMs) in making sustainable (i.e., participatory decisions involving economic, social and environmental features) and rational (i.e., informed and consistent) decisions with respect to what, who, where, when, and how to do. The case study, focused on alternative reuses of offshore gas platforms (i.e., a complicated case due to the absence of previous stakeholders’ experiences at local and national level), identified when (i.e., the end as opposed to the beginning of extraction activities) and where (i.e., the economic, social and environmental contexts of the Adriatic Sea in Abruzzo region, Italy). A questionnaire, submitted to stakeholders, produced the relative weights required by the tested SBM (i.e., a comprehensive model recently proposed by Lüdeke-Freund et al., 2018); it reached a conclusion about how (i.e., in favour of majority decisions as opposed to representative decisions); and it highlighted a sample size issue (i.e., solved with a 50% increase of stakeholders involved). In summary, the methodology suggested in this paper applied to a comprehensive SBM for a complicated case study produced an empirical sustainable decision which is consistent with relative weights expressed by stakeholders. However, this decision is theoretically wrong, since eco-design (empirically correlated with the proper institutional approach for who) should have been preferred to circular economy (empirically correlated with the proper cooperative approach for who). In other words, information gaps about what (mainly due to an overemphasis put on social features) must be solved with additional meetings between experts and stakeholders
Under the same (Chole)sky: DNK models, timing restrictions and recursive identification of monetary policy shocks
Get PDFRecent structural VAR studies of the monetary transmission mechanism have voiced concerns about the use of recursive identification schemes based on short-run exclusion restrictions. We trace out the effects on impulse propagation of informational constraints embodying classical Cholesky-timing restrictions in otherwise standard Dynamic New Keynesian (DNK) models. By reinforcing internal propagation mechanisms and enlarging a model's equilibrium state space, timing restrictions may produce a non-trivial moving average component of the equilibrium representation,
making finite order VARs a poor approximation of true adjustment paths to monetary impulses, albeit correctly identified. They can even serve as an independent
source of model-based nonfundamentalness, thereby hampering shock identification via VAR methods. This notwithstanding, restricted DNK models are shown to feature (i) invertible equilibrium representations for the observables and (ii) fast-converging VAR coefficient matrices under empirically tenable parameterizations. This alleviates concerns about identification and lag truncation bias: low-order Cholesky-VARs do well at uncovering the transmission of monetary impulses in a truly Cholesky world

Insegnanti e pandemia
Get PDFA partire da febbraio 2020, l'emergenza sanitaria causata dal COVID-19 ha
portato a provvedimenti di contenimento della diffusione del virus con
restrizioni della mobilità dei cittadini, confinamento e chiusura delle scuole di
ogni ordine e grado su tutto il territorio nazionale.
A causa della chiusura delle scuole gli insegnanti hanno dovuto attivare
repentinamente modalità di Didattica a Distanza (DaD), senza alcun tipo di
preparazione o formazione preliminare.
Il presente report illustra i principali risultati di un'indagine svolta durante la
chiusura delle scuole che ha coinvolto più di 1000 insegnanti italiani.
L'obiettivo era studiare se e come tale richiesta improvvisa di modifiche al
proprio lavoro, la mancanza di competenze per l'insegnamento a distanza,
unitamente alla condizione di confinamento, abbiano influito sul benessere
psicologico e lavorativo e sul senso di autoefficacia degli e delle insegnanti
OLEUM Project. Olive oil fraud and possible countermeasures. Emerging trends
No full textA review of most common types of fraud in the olive oil (OO) sector highlights that most common infringements are the marketing of virgin olive oil (VOO) as extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and blends of other vegetable oils with OO being marketing as OO. This dataset contains the aggregated results of an international on-line survey of EU and non-EU stakeholders in the olive oil sector. The aim of the on-line survey was to highlight he priorities in addressing efforts to fight OOs fraudulent cases

The dataset consists of longitudinal quantitative data collected in Italy within Work Package 7 of the research project CATCH EyoU (Constructing AcTive CitizensHip with European YOUth: Policies, Practices, Challenges and Solutions). The sample consists of 685 adolescents between 14 and 19 years old. They participated in the study on a voluntary basis and filled paper and online questionnaires, after receiving an invitation from the researchers and a presentations of the aims of the study. The data was used in the analysis of how perceived democratic school characteristics (democratic school climate, student participation and critical reflection at school) could promote civic participation at a one-year interval through the increase of institutional trust, efficacy beliefs and political and social interest. In particular, the following variables are included: classroom, age, gender, school track, perceived income, democratic school climate, student participation at school, school quality of participation (critical reflection), political interest, political trust, civic participation. Names of items from wave 1 start with letter “A_”, while names of items from wave 2 start with letter “B_”.

Italienische Studierende sprechen über ihre Sprachenportraits
Get PDFIn diesem Beitrag werden Beispiele für das Erstellen von kleinen mündlichen Korpora
und deren Interpretation im Fremdsprachenunterricht vorgestellt. Das Material dafür
stammt aus einem Unterrichtsprojekt zum Thema Sprachenportrait und gesprochene
Sprache, das im akademischen Jahr 2019/2020 unter der Leitung von Prof. Eva-Maria
Thüne und Prof. Brigitta Busch im Masterstudiengang ‚Language, Society and
Communication‘ an der Universität Bologna durchgeführt wurde.
Im ersten Teil werden die Vorgehensweise bei der Erstellung des Korpus sowie die untersuchte
Gruppe vorgestellt. Anschließend wird ein Dialog auf inhaltlicher Ebene
untersucht, wobei der Fokus auf dem thematischen Aufbau liegt. Es folgt eine ausführliche
Untersuchung der relevanten Aspekte der eingesetzten Formulierungsverfahren
sowie des gezeigten dialogischen Verhaltens in den Gesprächen über die Sprachenportraits.
An einem weiteren Dialog werden die Gesprächsführung sowie das Codeswitching
noch einmal verdeutlicht. Zum Abschluss wird ein Ausblick darauf geboten,
welchen Nutzen, aber auch welche Grenzen das Erstellen von und Sprechen über
Sprachenportraits als Teil des (universitären) Fremdsprachenunterrichts im Bereich der
gesprochenen Sprache hat.
