Contro Roma e contro Gregorio Palamas. Il manoscritto Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. gr. 291 da Costantinopoli a Leone Allacci
No full textLeo Allatius, and later Giovanni Mercati, had already appreciated the importance of the manuscript Città del Vaticano, BAV Barb. gr. 291 as a unique testimony of works, linked to the anti-Latin and anti-Palamite controversy, otherwise lost.
This article is the first detailed and comprehensive study devoted to the Barberinianus. The first part, dedicated to codicological and palaeographic analysis and to the history of the manuscript, is followed by a second part that introduces the collection of texts against the Latins and a third part that examines the collection of works related to the Palamite controversy. Two anonymous anti-Palamite works are published in the appendix. The results of the codicological and palaeographic analysis and the study of the two collections allow us to date the composition of the collection to the third quarter of the 14th century.Questo articolo è dedicato al manoscritto vaticano Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. gr. 291, un codice di eccezionale importanza storica e teologica. Frutto della collaborazione di Alessandra Bucossi, Chiara Gazzini e Antonio Rigo, lo studio rappresenta la prima analisi completa e approfondita di questo manoscritto, finora privo di una descrizione scientifica esaustiva. Attraverso un’attenta indagine codicologica e paleografica, gli autori ne stabiliscono la datazione e ne ricostruiscono la trasmissione da Costantinopoli a Leone Allacci. Il contributo esamina inoltre la raccolta unica di testi antilatini e antipalamiti — molti dei quali tramandati esclusivamente in questo testimone — gettando nuova luce su un capitolo cruciale, ma ancora poco studiato, della storia intellettuale e religiosa del XIV secolo bizantino. Fornendo una descrizione sistematica e un’interpretazione contestuale, l’articolo colma una lacuna significativa negli studi sui manoscritti bizantini e ridefinisce il ruolo del Barb. gr. 291 nella storia delle controversie teologiche e della trasmissione culturale tra Oriente e Occidente.This article is devoted to the Vatican manuscript Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. gr. 291, a codex of exceptional historical and theological importance. Written collaboratively by Alessandra Bucossi, Chiara Gazzini, and Antonio Rigo, it offers the first comprehensive study dedicated to this manuscript, which until now had never received a full scholarly description. Through detailed codicological and palaeographical analysis, the authors establish its dating and trace its transmission from Constantinople to Leone Allacci. They further examine its unique collection of anti-Latin and anti-Palamite texts—many preserved only in this witness—thereby illuminating a crucial yet understudied chapter in the intellectual and religious history of fourteenth-century Byzantium. By providing a systematic description and contextual interpretation, the article fills a significant gap in Byzantine manuscript studies and redefines the role of Barb. gr. 291 in the history of theological controversy and cross-cultural transmission
Integrating Green Care Initiatives into Conventional Health Systems: Which Governance Dimensions Can Guide This Process?
No full textGreen Care initiatives (GCIs) encompass various interventions that support physical, mental, and social well-being through interaction with nature. Integrating GCIs into conventional healthcare systems is a complex task that requires multi-actor and multi-level governance efforts. This study examines, through a systematized literature review, the relevant governance dimensions to facilitate the inclusion of GCIs in traditional care pathways. From the analysis of the 36 selected studies, four key dimensions were identified: organizational structure, knowledge, legitimacy, and decentralization. The analysis highlights the need to strengthen the responsibility of Green Care actors as healthcare service providers, enhance local authorities’ role in creating new integrated service delivery networks, combine different knowledge perspectives, and legitimize non-healthcare actors. Recommendations are made to address these governance aspects to facilitate the integration of GCIs and channel their benefits in prevention and health promotion. Adopting an adequate governance framework is fundamental for mainstreaming GCIs in current healthcare systems
OBSERVING THE INTEGRATION OF NATURE-BASED HEALTH INITIATIVES INTO CONVENTIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS FROM A GOVERNANCE PERSPECTIVE: LESSONS FROM ITALY.
No full textIntegrating Green Care Initiatives into National Healthcare provisions: a literature review focused on governance dimensions
No full textThe umbrella term Green Care (GC) includes a spectrum of interventions supporting health promotion, disease prevention, and rehabilitation. GC can potentially improve public healthcare provision, responding to modern increases in demand for healthcare in the general population and the specific needs of vulnerable groups. Actions aimed at expanding care provision are often undertaken by the government justified on public economic grounds to reduce the impact of market and information failures that undermine people's ability to maximize their welfare. Despite this, public health organizations and institutions have not yet recognized GC's potential in supporting innovative health practices. Green Care Initiatives (GCIs) are organized interventions involving professionals of different legal entities (e.g., private, public) and various fields (e.g., forestry, healthcare, agriculture) representing diverse environmental, economic, social, and health-related stakes. Therefore, the issue is strictly connected to the partnership composition, decision-making processes, and rules implemented by GC actors and, thus, embedded in a governance framework. Given this, our aim is to comprehend which conditions could enable GCIs to be recognized within the public health system by adopting an analytical understanding of governance. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review of international studies on integrating GCIs into healthcare systems by exploring the conditions observed for this to happen and through which specific governance arrangements. By following the PRISMA guidelines, search strings of keywords were combined concerning the themes of "Green Care," "Healthcare," and "Governance" in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Then, pre-defined criteria were applied to refine the selection of relevant documents. Finally, findings were categorized under the main dimensions to facilitate qualitative analysis. Results from our research indicate that the discourses around governance are more developed in Social Farming, while contrastingly, Forest-based initiatives remain little explored. Our governance analytical framework could facilitate institutional awareness and evidence-based decision-making to support the integration of GCIs into healthcare practices. Furthermore, it could help determine relevant aspects for the success of GCIs by paving the way for developing an evaluation framework based on different health and environmental governance dimensions

INTEGRATING GREEN CARE INITIATIVES INTO TRADITIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM: A LITERATURE REVIEW FOCUSED ON GOVERNANCE DIMENSIONS
No full textINTRODUCTION: The umbrella term Green Care (GC) includes a spectrum of interventions supporting physical, mental, and social health through consciously interacting with nature. Given that GC targets health promotion and disease prevention and rehabilitation, it can potentially improve public healthcare provision, directly responding to modern increases in demand for healthcare in the general population and the specific needs of vulnerable groups. However, public health organizations have not yet fully recognized this potential. Government intervention in health promotion is justified on economic grounds to reduce the impact of market and information failures, particularly negative externalities that undermine people's ability to maximize their welfare. However, actions aimed at expanding care provision can be promoted or undertaken by non-governmental actors acting alone or collaborating with governments. Green Care Initiatives (GCIs) involve professionals from different spheres (e.g., private, public) and various fields (e.g., forestry, healthcare, agriculture) representing diverse environmental, economic, social, and health-related stakes. Therefore, the issue is strictly connected to the partnership composition, decision-making processes, and rules implemented by GC actors. These elements are embedded in the concept of governance and its specific dimensions (i.e., transparency, participation, equity, effectiveness, efficiency, accountability), operationalized in a perspective of joining health to the environment. Therefore, identifying novel governance arrangements could allow GCIs to be recognized within the public healthcare system. Given this, our general aim is to comprehend which governance conditions could enable GCIs to be integrated and institutionalized into the public health system by adopting a novel health and environmental governance perspective. We conducted an international literature review on the adoption of GCIs by healthcare systems by exploring the conditions observed for this to happen and through which specific governance arrangements.
METHOD: After defining the problem and the related research questions, we conducted a systematic literature review of international articles following the PRISMA guidelines. Search strings of keywords were combined concerning the themes of "Green Care," "Healthcare," and "Governance" in both Scopus and Web of Science databases. Then, pre-defined criteria were applied to refine the selection of documents relevant to the objectives of our study. Additionally, examples of protocols by healthcare institutions were examined. Finally, relevant findings were synthesized, sorted into tables, and categorized under main themes and dimensions to facilitate qualitative analysis.
RESULTS: Sub-dimensions and essential concepts in the overlapping area of GCIs and healthcare governance were identified. Findings from the qualitative analysis indicate that the discourses around governance in GC are more developed in the context of Social Farming, while contrastingly, Forest care initiatives remain little explored. The case study research allowed us to explore more deeply how governance arrangements on the individual project level are embedded in higher-level governance frameworks.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results led to an ad hoc governance analytical framework concerning GCIs. This framework could facilitate transparency and evidence-based decision-making to support the integration of GCIs into healthcare practices. Furthermore, these results could help improve monitoring and evaluation processes in GCIs by paving the way for developing an innovative indicators framework based on different health and environmental governance dimensions
Spectrogram Classification Using Dissimilarity Space
No full textIn this work, we combine a Siamese neural network and different clustering techniques to generate a dissimilarity space that is then used to train an SVM for automated animal audio classification. The animal audio datasets used are (i) birds and (ii) cat sounds, which are freely available. We exploit different clustering methods to reduce the spectrograms in the dataset to a number of centroids that are used to generate the dissimilarity space through the Siamese network. Once computed, we use the dissimilarity space to generate a vector space representation of each pattern, which is then fed into an support vector machine (SVM) to classify a spectrogram by its dissimilarity vector. Our study shows that the proposed approach based on dissimilarity space performs well on both classification problems without ad-hoc optimization of the clustering methods. Moreover, results show that the fusion of CNN-based approaches applied to the animal audio classification problem works better than the stand-alone CNNs
