La “banalità” dell'emergenza. Società, individuo e politica ai tempi del Covid-19
No full textIl contributo tratta del periodo emergenziale affrontato in Italia e nel mondo per il diffondersi
dell’epidemia da Covid–19, non concluso ancora a settembre 2020 e anzi prorogato dal Governo italiano in termini normativi. Si riflette così su un momento della storia politica delle società occidentali che mette in luce diverse questioni interessanti e a volte controintuitive, al fine di tratteggiare la situazione sociale, tanto esistenziale quanto psicologica,
in cui una nazione democratica e i suoi cittadini sembravano trovarsi
all’alba della pandemia da coronavirus. In vista di ciò, si prenda come filo guida la lettura sociologica di Zygmunt Bauman, l’idea cioè che la post–modernità sia caratterizzata da una
società fluida, senza strutture e narrazioni comuni precostituite, all’interno della quale gli individui si comportano come meri consumatori, tanto di beni quanto di sensazioni. Questa lettura presenta il quadro di una vita liquida dei singoli cittadini, i quali, perso sia il ruolo di
produttori effettivi delle cose (agricoltura, artigianato, fabbrica, ecc.)
sia di attori in una narrazione storica omogenea (le grandi ideologie
novecentesche), riescono a persistere in un senso dell’esistenza soltanto
tramite il consumo e il rinnovo costante, per lo più frenetico, dei bisogni
da soddisfare
L’"incoerenza" dell'amministrazione nel corso del procedimento: comportamento mero o cattiva modalità di esercizio del potere?
No full textThe Author, following the mention of good faith in the general law on administrative
procedure, points out that this principle seems to pertain to the exercise of the administrative function.
This conclusion is the premise for reconsidering the subjective legal position held by the citizen in the
face of improper conduct by the administration in the exercise of powe
Security-differentiated Water Pricing as a Mechanism for Mitigating Drought Impacts. Insights from a Case Study in the Mediterranean Basin
No full textWater is becoming an increasingly scarce resource due to growing multi-sector demand and the effects of climate change. During droughts, the proportional rule is the most widespread water allocation method applied in irrigation systems. However, this method fails to guarantee efficient water allocation or to provide a fair method of water allocation. This paper aims to verify whether by replacing the water allocation methods based on a proportional rule with methods based on a priority rule could improve the allocation of water resources and minimize the negative economic impacts of water shortages. The ultimate objective of this research is to design a water pricing scheme capable of guaranteeing efficient water reallocation during drought conditions. Therefore, an experiment was carried out for the largest irrigated area in southern Italy, covered by the Capitanata Reclamation and Irrigation board (CBC). A positive mathematical programming model was implemented in order to simulate the effects of the proposed mechanism. The findings show that priority mechanisms have the potential to improve overall economic efficiency in the event of water shortages. However, results also point to the need for optimal design of a differentiated water pricing scheme
Farmer Evaluation of Irrigation Services. Collective or Self-Supplied?
No full textEconomic evaluation of farmland is an important issue in the agricultural sector. The aim of this study was to quantify the economic value of land in the farmland area of the Reclamation and Irrigation Board of Capitanata (Apulia region), differentiating by irrigation water service type (collective or self-supplied). The analysis involved a heuristic evaluation using the hedonic pricing method of the sales comparison approach. The data was gathered through a survey on a group of 75 farmers. The results showed higher capitalization values in the case of lands served by self-supplied sources from groundwater. Actually, in the long-term, an enhanced reliability was found for the self-supplied rather than collective services. The findings highlight the importance for collective water associations of differentiating water rights allocations on the basis of a volume guarantee. In future, water user associations of collective services could consider a different water right system along with price discrimination to efficiently allocate the resource among farmers and improve the sustainability of current water management
Bivalirudin in Patients Undergoing PCI: State of Art and Future Perspectives
No full textAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents the most common cause of death worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the management of choice in patients with ACS and occurrence of intra-procedural thrombotic complications are an independent predictor of mortality and other major adverse cardiovascular events in patients undergoing PCI. According to current guideline, anticoagulation therapy is indicated during PCI in order to reduce the risk of thrombotic complications such as stent thrombosis. Among currently available anticoagulant drugs, bivalirudin demonstrates a lower incidence of bleeding risk, despite it is associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. The aim of this paper is to discuss the pharmacology of bivalirudin and the clinical evidences of its use in patients undergoing PCI for ACS

Cooperative banks, innovative entrepreneurship, and trust: insights from Italian history
No full textWe investigate the role of the historical presence of cooperative banks on current levels of new business
formation in innovative industries. Empirical evidence shows that the regional tradition of entrepreneurship
tends to be persistent. In Italy, current provincial rates of entrepreneurship in high technology sectors still
depend significantly on the propensity of entrepreneurs to use new technologies in 1927 (Cosci et al.2022). How
important was it in the past that these innovative entrepreneurs found banks that were able to finance their
investment projects? In 1950, in a country destroyed by WWII, Italian monetary authorities assigned a strategic
role to small banks to promote local economic development. Our findings suggest that the diffusion of small
banks in the first four decades of the post-war period fostered the development of an innovative entrepreneurial
culture in Italian provinces, but only in the area characterised by relatively higher levels of trust
