No full textThe case studies were commissioned by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), and examine failures of forest management in Britain (Bateman, I.), Sweden (Wibe, S.), Italy (Florio, M.), Germany (Bergen, V.; Behrndt, M.; Pfister, G.), and Spain (Campos Palacín, P.). The commonest causes of market failures related to non-competitive markets, external effects, incomplete information and demand/cost errors, and public goods. The commonest causes of intervention failures related to erroneous reasoning, group interest, and incomplete information
El dibujo y el levantamiento arquitectónico del patrimonio cultural. Procedimientos de levantamiento y representación integrada del pasado convento de Donnaròmita, Nápoles
No full textLa compleja temática que se oculta
en las operaciones de dibujo y de
representación arquitectónica y urbana
tiene una especial importancia en la
actualidad, en particular, en virtud de su
acción requerida de construir modelos
de referencia que asuman el objetivo de
analizar sus raíces profundas y explicar
sus componentes característicos con
el fi n de hacer posible las operaciones
posteriores de análisis, conocimiento y
evaluación. A partir de estas premisas
de refl exión, tanto en las operaciones
de trabajos de campo como en las
fases de síntesis de interpretación o de
representación de datos adquiridos, el
presente estudio se centra en el vínculo
tejido por los tipos de arquitecturas que
se transforman en ciudades. Para ello
se ha tomado un camino de exploración
de los tipos de arquitecturas que en
muchos casos ha establecido un modelo
en aumento de las características de
confi guración examinadas (FLORIO R.,
2006), activando procesos analíticocognitivos
con el objeto de examinar
las condiciones en el “estado”, de las
capacidades y potencialidades de
los tipos de arquitecturas que, leídas
tanto en su emergencia paradigmática
como en el valor de su papel en la
complejidad del complejo, encarnan el
código de pertenencia a la estructura
urbana (KERSTEN T.P., 2010). Las
acciones interrelacionadas de lectura y
recuperación de datos han recurrido, en
algunos casos a un análisis profundo de
técnicas avanzadas de levantamiento que han permitido adquirir datos
morfométricos y colorimétricos de los
artefactos, restituyendo así, a través de un
procesamiento de alta calidad y control
detallado de datos recolectados, su
confi guración espacial leída en la trama
de la disposición compositiva

Restauro architettonico, ricerca, didattica: risultati dal primo decennio di esperienza del corso di Ingegneria Edile-Architettura (2012-2022)
No full textKnowledge and respect are the essential combination to guarantee targeted and respectful restoration of the
architectural heritage. Same principles are essential also for the planning of enhancement interventions capable of
giving new life to the buildings and guaranteeing their conservation in full respect of their artistic significance, of
the material value and specific architectural connotations. This contribution presents some results of research
experiences conducted in the Roman and Lazio area as part of the Course of Architectural Restoration in the decade
2012-2022, at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Theory and practice of
architectural restoration of archaeological sites of Tivoli and Palestrina, churches, palaces, so-called minor
buildings, villages and historic centres of Lazio had be illustrated using a unique method of investigation, based
on principles and guidelines operative of the Italian restoration. These research topics, carried out in cooperation
with a number of prestigious Italian Research Institutes and Superintendencies, have been explored in depth in
degree and doctoral theses, also touching on the complex problem of the relationship between historic buildings
and plant upgrades. The results achieved, some published, demonstrate the usefulness of a possible coexistence
between historical-artistic sensitivity, technical knowledge and new uses of the architectural heritage
The effect of GRC Systems on Environmental Decoupling
No full textThis study investigates the influence of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems on the phenomenon of environmental decoupling, defined as the misalignment between firms’ environmental disclosure and actual performance. Drawing on agency and stakeholder theory, we examine whether board oversight of climate risks, crisis management systems, and an-ti‐corruption procedures reduce the disclosure–performance gap. Using a panel of 924 Europe-an companies across 20 countries and 18 industries (2015–2024), we find that board oversight and crisis management systems are positively associated with environmental decoupling, suggesting symbolic rather than substantive governance. In contrast, anti‐corruption procedures significantly mitigate decoupling, highlighting the importance of binding and enforceable governance mechanisms. The findings contribute to the debate on the credibility of sustainabil-ity reporting and offer implications for scholars, practitioners, and regulators seeking to strengthen the alignment between communication and operational realities
Amending the Treatment of Defense Production Enterprises Under the U.S. Exon-Florio Provision: A Move Toward Protectionism or Globalism
No full textDiscusses the Exon-Florio Provision of the Omnibus Trade & Competitiveness Act. It gives the President of the United States the power to prohibit or to prevent on a temporary basis a non-U.S. corporation from merging with or acquiring a U.S. corporation when the transaction could potentially impair U.S. national security. The Note examines U.S. legislation that regulates direct investment and argues that the U.S. Congress should amend Exon-Florio in order to focus and strengthen the Provision\u27s application to transactions involving U.S. defense production companies. Part I of this Note sets forth the existing procedural and administrative requirements of Exon-Florio and explains several modifications to the Provision that Congress has recently enacted. Part II outlines additional proposed modifications to Exon-Florio that have been presented before Congress and considers such proposals with respect to a recent case involving the Provision. Part III argues that Congress should amend Exon-Florio in order to focus and confine the Provision\u27s application to national defense. This Note concludes that such modifications would be justifiable because they would define national defense as a narrow exception to the traditional U.S. globalist trade policy and, consequently, benefit all those involved in international mergers, acquisitions and takeovers in the United States
Opensource Gamification: a case study on humanities students learning computing architectures.
No full textOpensource software can provide a wide range of educational computer games and gaming tools so to enable a sharing community among teachers. Since their appearance Metaverses1 appealed the tech- nology prone teachers, increasing the number of virtual worlds learning projects. The Open Source movement create an ecosystem of software, documentation and tools that it makes easier for teachers to share their work and learning objects. Here we show how an open source Metaverses becomes a tool for the teaching of science subjects in a Department of Human Studies, where students can learn the basics of a simplified von Neumann-class computer architecture in a OpenSimulator virtual learn- ing environment. A survey among students showed that interacting with a virtual computer architecture in a immersive 3D environment increased their learning achievements and subject comprehension
