No full textLa scienza del diritto amministrativo e l'utilizzo delle altre scienze sociali
No full textIl saggio prende atto della necessità di una stretta interazione fra il metodo di indagine del giurista e le categorie concettuali proprie delle altre scienze sociali e si pone il problema di come debba configurarsi, in concreto, questo rapporto. Superata la concezione di una rigida separazione fra metodo giuridico e quello di altre scienze sociali non si accetta neppure la prospettiva di una mera ancillarità di queste ultime nell'indagine del giurista. Lo sviluppo delle amministrazioni ed il superamento del loro distacco dalla società, infatti, rende inefficaci indagini basate sul totale distacco fra il sistema giuridico e quello sociale. Si impone quindi un approccio di indagine al sistema amministrativo non distinto per ambiti disciplinari ma per problemi; in esso le categorie concettuali di altre scienze sociali entrano con pari dignità nel processo conoscitivo e di indagine del giurista. A questo spetta la responsabilità di verificarne, di volta in volta, la rilevanza e la congruità rispetto alla concreta soluzione della fattispecie che è oggetto della sua indagine. La premessa epistemologica di tale operazione è quindi costituita dalla rivendicazione ad ogni scienza, nella propria autonomia, della legittimità a definire il proprio oggetto e le condizioni e i criteri del proprio operare. Ciò non significa, tuttavia, dimenticare quale sia la funzione propria e specifica della scienza giuridica che è quella di risolvere problemi concreti alla luce di norme. Il carattere eminentemente pratico dell'indagine giuridica ne costituisce, quindi, l'elemento distintivo e caratterizzante rispetto a quello di altre scienze sociali. Tale carattere discende dalla sua specifica finalità di interpretare i fenomeni sociali nella loro concretezza, alla luce degli standards costituiti dalle norme giuridiche. La prospettiva storica, comparatistica e sociologica consente, tuttavia, di arricchire il materiale fenomenologico per il conseguimento di tale funzione, che tuttavia è senza dubbio la principale cui deve assolvere la scienza del diritto amministrativo
Istraživanje energetske ovisnosti pionskog inelasticiteta u modelu Cocconi-Koester-Perkins
No full textA search has been made on the energy dependence of the pion inelasticity Kπ in the fireball model of Cocconi, Koester and Perkins. The two sets of primary cosmic ray spectra viz. of Durham and Goddard groups along with the sea level muon spectrum of Kiel and Durham have been used to search the energy dependence of Kπ. It is found that Durham primary spectrum favours the energy dependence of Kπ in the Cocconi, Koester and Perkins model reasonably. Attention has been paid on the comments made earlier by Chakraborty, Das and De who failed to realise the motivation of our previous work (Sarkar et al.).Istraživana je energetska ovisnost pionskog inelasticiteta Kπ u modelu „fireball“ Cocconia, Koestera i Perkinsa. Da se nađe energetska ovisnost Kπ upotrebljena su dva skupa podataka spektra primarnog kozmičkog zračenja odnosno Durham i Goddard grupa. Nađeno je da Durhamovi primarni spektri favoriziraju energetsku ovisnost Kπ danu modelom Cocconia, Koestera i Perkinsa. Poklonjena je pažnja komentaru Chakrabortya i suradnika kojima je promakla motivacija našeg prethodnog rada
Riforma universitaria
No full textLa l. 30.12.2010, n. 240, che ha profondamente riformato l’ordinamento universitario, mira ad elevare la concorrenza e il merito nelle università, riducendo l’autoreferenzialità delle componenti accademiche sia nelle scelte strategiche e di governo del sistema sia in ordine ai meccanismi di reclutamento dei professori. La riforma, al contempo, sembra aver compresso in modo significativo l’autonomia universitaria. È presto, tuttavia, per formulare un giudizio sulla l. n. 240/2010: per un bilancio degli effetti della stessa occorrerà attendere la conclusione del complesso processo di attuazione «a cascata». La legge, infatti, richiede, da un lato, che gli atenei adeguino i loro statuti e, dall’altro, che il governo adotti numerosi regolamenti e decreti di attuazione
Psychological impact of COVID-19 on healthcare leaders: a cross-sectional survey in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
No full textIntroduction Although several studies highlighted the psychological burden of 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, no data are available regarding professionals leading healthcare organisations. This study aims to assess the psychological impact of COVID-19 on healthcare leaders (HeLs), along with the leadership skills and coping strategies needed for successful leadership. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Italy) between October and November 2020. We assessed the presence of depressive symptoms (DS), anxiety symptoms (AS), perceived stress (PS) and insomnia using internationally validated tools. Coping strategies and skills needed to overcome the crisis were examined, along with the most challenging phases. Results A total of 48 HeLs participated. The prevalence of DS and AS was 14.6% and 12.5%, respectively. Moderate and severe insomnia was found in 12.5% and 6.3% of them, respectively. Leaders showed moderate (45.8%) and high 4,2%) level of PS. The two most challenging phases were recognised in early recognition (45.2%) and peak phase (31.0%). Concerning healthcare leaders' skills required to manage with pandemic, the most reported were communication (35.1%) and decision-making (25.5%). Conclusion The high level of PS, insomnia, DS and AS experienced by healthcare leaders shows the COVID-19 pandemic's psychological impact. The two most challenging phases identified enhances the importance of public health surveillance and monitoring systems, and communication appeared a critical success skill for healthcare leaders. Given the key role these professional play in addressing the current crisis in healthcare organisations, their mental health and well-being deserve greater attention
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

No full textThe most challenging COVID19 phases and the skills healthcare leaders need to face the pandemic
No full textIntroduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) pandemic is the most significant public health threat of the century, a crisis that have been challenging healthcare systems around the world. Assessment of leadership skills is needed in order to identify attributes of successful leadership during public health emergencies. This study aims to highlight the critical role played by healthcare leaders during this pandemic, assessing
the most challenging and demanding phases of the health crisis and the characteristics required for a healthcare leader.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out between October and November 2020, using online questionnaires, involving medical and nursing leaders working in the healthcare organizations of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region (Northeast of Italy). Professionals from hospital, community setting and regional level were asked about the two most challenging phases of the current pandemic among: crisis early recognition, peak of the emergency phase, declining epidemic, long tail. The most important healthcare leaders’ skills were investigated among competence, awareness, communication,
decision-making, inspiring trust and data interpretation.
Results: A total of 48 healthcare leaders participated. Women were 56.3%. Mean age was 53.4 7.9. According to the leaders interviewed, the two most challenging phases of such crisis were crisis early recognition (45%) and the peak phase (31%). Lesser important phases were recognized in the declining epidemic (15%) and the long tail phases (8%). Concerning healthcare leaders’ skills required to manage with pandemic, the most reported were communication (35%) and decisionmaking (26%); while lower importance was identified in inspiring confidence (5%).
Conclusions: The two most challenging phases identified by this study suggested the importance of public health surveillance and monitoring systems. Communication appeared a critical success factor for leaders in public health emergencies.
Key messages: Early recognition of the crisis and the emergency peak management are considered the most challenging phases of the COVID19 pandemic by healthcare leaders. Ability to communicate and decision-making emerged as the two most important crisis skills, and should be included
among public health leaders core competencies
Infodemic: analysis of global and local 2019-20 Coronavirus epidemic search flow
No full textBackground:
The excessive amount of information (infodemic) about SARS-COV2 is a global challenge for healthcare authorities in tackling misinformation. Aim of the study was to investigate SARS-COV2 global and Italian web search amount made through a reliable information source during 2019-20 SARS- COV2 epidemic.
Methods:
From December 15th, 2019 to February 23rd, 2020, we used Google Trends to analyze global changes in the volume of searches about ‘‘Coronavirus’’ in relation to reliable sources: ‘‘World Health Organization’’, ‘‘WHO’’ and the Italian equivalents of ‘‘Ministry of Health’’ and ‘‘National Institute of Health’’. Primary searches and associated queries (AQs) were analyzed by nation and Italian Region.
Results:
Global interest on ‘‘Coronavirus’’ progressively rose from mid- January, with 2 peaks on days 28th and 31st, fell on February 20th and rose again until day 23rd. ‘‘WHO’’ searches fluctuated with no clear pattern but increased on January 26th and February 3rd. ’WHO’ term was among the most frequent ‘‘Coronavirus’’ AQs and viceversa. Singapore, Italy and New Zealand were the most interested nations in ‘‘Coronavirus’’, while China was at first place in ‘‘Coronavirus+WHO’’ searches. In Italy from January 21st interest in ‘‘Coronavirus’’ gradually increased, with peaks on days 28th and 31st and a higher peak on February 21st. The other terms showed a fluctuating trend, with peaks on January 31st for ‘‘WHO’’ and ‘‘Ministry of Health’’ and on February 21st for all of them. ‘‘Coronavirus’’ was most frequently AQ to ‘‘Italy’’ and ‘‘China’’, while AQs for the other terms were ‘‘Coronavirus’’ and ‘‘WHO official website’’. The most interested Italian Regions for ‘‘Coronavirus’’ and ‘‘Coronavirus+WHO’’ were Lazio and Friuli Venezia-Giulia, respectively.
Conclusions:
Interest in SARS-COV2 globally increased during the con- sidered period, especially within most affected areas. The associations between terms thus highlighted seems to confirm that the general population relies on trustworthy information sources.
Key messages:
Infodemic can be at the same time a danger and an
opportunity during global and local health emergencies.
Health systems should take advantage of current search flow
in order to foster reliable information sharing
