No full textThe implementation of Natura 2000, Ecological Network of protected areas established in the European territory under Council Directive 92/43/EEC, has encountered serious problems in many European States. This is proven by conspicuous juridical interventions initiated by the European Union against Member States failing to comply with the Directive's requirements; by the aversion of stakeholders involved in the use of protected areas and by the criticisms that environmental non-governmental organizations expressed about the governmental approaches towards the network's realization. This paper presents a critical reflection on the problems in the realization of Natura 2000 Network, by analysing and comparing the experiences of two Member States: the Netherlands and Italy. Despite the differences in national natural heritages and nature conservation policy traditions, the two Natura 2000 implementation processes present interesting similarities. These allowed the authors to identify theoretical and practical obstacles that are making the network's implementation problematic and to reflect on the most important challenges to the realization of Natura 2000 Network in the two countries, as well as in other Member States that experienced similar implementation problems
Partnership tecnologiche e strategie aziendali
No full textLe partnership tecnologiche, sforzi inter-organizzativi finalizzati alla R&S, rappresentano uno dei fronti ‘più caldi’ dell’azione aziendale contemporanea (Hagedoorn, 2002), ma non è ancora del tutto chiaro se le dinamiche attivate nell’ambito di tali connessioni siano strettamente limitate agli aspetti tecnologici o possano avere ricadute sui processi di formulazione delle strategie.
L’esperienza del Gruppo Loccioni, media impresa italiana che opera come system integrator, mostra come l’allargamento dei circuiti di divisione del lavoro cognitivo (Rullani, 1997) implicato dalla costituzione di partnership in R&S, produca un apprendimento organizzativo che genera un progressivo miglioramento della capacità di envisioning, a sua volta riflessa nella componente emergente delle strategie (Mintzberg, 1994) e nel conseguente ingresso in ambienti fino ad allora considerati ‘lontani’ dal management aziendale

Tentative criteria for the design and installation of electrical power systems subject to seismic hazard
No full textThe paper discusses the need to study the criteria for the design and installation of electrical power systems in buildings subject to seismic hazard. Nowadays, all the recommended seismic requirements according to: Uniform Building Code (UBC), Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC), and National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) do not specifically take into account the electrical or technological power systems. The paper analyses the problems an earthquake can cause with regard to the functional reliability and continuity of supply of electrical power systems. Therefore, it proposes design and installation requirements, to be graduated according to building occupancy categories. Basically, the criteria relative to the installation of the electrical equipment are an appropriate extension of those general static ones for nonstructural components. Their consideration is essential for the settlement of the design criteria, which, as far as the configuration and the size of the electrical power system are concerned, are aimed at limiting the same installation problems. Other general design criteria, aimed as a guarantee for the supply continuity and system reliability, have a particular use in these appliance
Tentative criteria for the design and installation of electrical power systems subject at seismic hazard
No full textThis paper discusses the need to study the criteria for the design and installation of electrical power systems in buildings subject to seismic hazards. Nowadays, all the recommended seismic requirements (according to the Uniform Building Code [UBC], Structural Engineers Association of California [SEAOC] and National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program [NEHRP]) do not specifically take into account the electrical or technological power systems.

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
