Social partenrship as public private cooperation. Thoughts from the Italian experience
No full textBottom-up initiatives in urban transformation and public goods management, as promoted by recent legislation in Italy, have been indicated by Dr. Eduardo Parisi of the University of Milan as distinctive examples of public-private cooperation that promotes efficiency and inclusion in governance.
The Author discussed how – even under the influence of the international debate – public private partnership is more and more often a cultural and social phenomenon, consistent with the principles of solidarity, participation and inclusion in governance. 
Data analysis of atmospheric emission from geothermal power plants in Italy
No full textElectric production from geothermal energy is still little exploited compared to its large potential and to the World renewable energy production from other sources. Some countries have exploited this energy source in order to enhance their transition to renewables. Today the largest geothermal energy producers in the world are New Zealand, U.S.A, Mexico, Philippines, Italy, Iceland, and, more recently, Turkey (Geothermal, 2012). Differently from other renewable sources, geothermal energy produces impacts on the environment that are very site-specific because of the nature of the resource and its geological characteristics Bravi et al.,2010; Parisi et al.,2013. In the same way, the atmospheric emissions associated to the activity of geothermal power plants for electric or heat production (mainly CO2, H2S, NH3, Hg, CH4) are also site-specific. In fact, due to technological and geographical differences among the geothermal installations operating all over the World, it is quite impossible to identify and attribute typical emission patterns, to perform forecasts valid for multiple sites or to collect universal data. Furthermore, it is virtually impossible the comparison among technologies located in different regions or countries. Definitively, inventories of primary data, as accurate and complete as possible, are essential to correctly evaluate the peculiarities of geo-thermoelectric energy production Parisi et al.,2018. Data reported here try to fill the gap in respect to the Italian situation. To this end, a complete survey of the atmospheric emissions from all the geothermal power plants in operation in the Tuscany Region is performed. In addition to data reporting, also some statistical analysis is performed to process data and to operate a further level of simplification which averages the emissions on the basis of geothermal sub-areas. The data collected is related to the research article “Life cycle assessment of atmospheric emission profiles of the Italian geothermal power plants” Parisi et al.,2019
Interactions between Reflection and Praxis in the History of Economic Thought. The case of the Franciscan Cicles from XIII Century Assisi to the Present
No full textResumen: Daniela Parisi analiza el impacto de la vida de San F rancisco de Asís desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento económico. Haciendo referencia particularmente a la atención otorgada en los círculos franciscanos a los signos de los tiempos, la autora traza el camino desde la vida de San Francisco, pasando por la vida de la Orden hasta el presente, y revela los orígenes del movimiento franciscano como un intento de reforma social y religiosa. En primer lugar, el artículo presenta la vida que llevó San Francisco como una “pobreza material voluntaria” en el contexto de los cambios socio-económicos que tuvieron lugar en el siglo XIII, con el advenimiento de la sociedad comercial. Luego, explica cómo la propuesta de San Francisco creció hasta convertirse en una orden religiosa. Finalmente, el artículo intenta iluminar aquellos aspectos en que la Orden Franciscana puede todavía considerarse un signo de los tiempos a través de una existencia comprometida con la pobreza, eliminando lo superfluo de nuestra vida y viviendo en consonancia con el Evangelio.Abstract: Daniela Parisi analyses the impact of the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, from the perspective of the history of economic thought. By referring in particular to the attention given in Franciscan circles to the signs of times, the author draws the path from Saint Francis’s life to the life of the Order until the present, and reveals the origins of the Franciscan movement as an attempt for social and religious reformation. First, the article presents St. Francis’s life of a “voluntary material poverty” in the context of the social and economic changes that took place in the XIII century, with the rise of the commercial society. Then, the author explains how St. Francis’ proposal grew into an Order. Finally, the article aims at illuminating the aspects in which the Franciscan Order can be still considered a sign of the times by living the commitment to poverty and minority, eliminating the superfluous from our lives and living close to the Gospel
Donne musulmane nei luoghi di preghiera
No full textIn Italia, nel corso degli ultimi decenni, la presenza di donne musulmane praticanti, che coprono il loro corpo in vario modo, con hijab o vestiti lunghi tradizionali, costituisce uno dei fattori, insieme alle moschee, ai luoghi di preghiera, alle macellerie halal, ai negozi di kebab, del processo di visibilizzazione dell’islam nel nostro Paese. Questi elementi concorrono alla rimodulazione multidimensionale delle forme del vivere sociale e dei paesaggi urbani in contesti caratterizzati dalla presenza migrante in generale e da quella musulmana in particolare. Molte studiose femministe dell’islam evidenziano come, attualmente, il razzismo anti-arabo si esprime nella forma prevalente di «gendered Islamophobia» (Zine 2006; Mijares, Ramírez 2008), dove la dimensione di genere opera intersezionalmente attraverso imbricazioni fra razzismo, misoginia, sessualità, patriottismo (Mijares, Ramírez 2008; Giacalone 2020). In definitiva, secondo questa prospettiva, l’“alterità” musulmana oggi si definisce e si regola attraverso una nuova politica di genderizzazione, sessualizazione e razzializzazione che vede al centro i corpi femminili vittimizzati. Il presente saggio vuole “sovvertire” il processo attraverso cui le donne musulmane, in particolare quelle migranti, vengono costruite come “alterità”, oggettivate in immagini di vittime sottomesse, per restituirle alla complessità di percorsi lungo un itinerario che dalla moschea porta alla società: dalle pratiche religiose nei luoghi di preghiera le donne costruiscono una consapevolezza che le porta a conquistare una presenza attiva nella società. Un giro lungo attraverso la faglia di una riflessività profonda che investe la dimensione spirituale, politica, così come la dimensione immaginativa, le aspettative e le fantasie (Sametoglu, 2013; Sehlikoglu, 2018). A partire dalla ricostruzione delle storie dell’esperienza religiosa di cinque donne musulmane, tre immigrate e due convertite, tenterò di mettere in evidenza come attraverso performance rituali, interpretazione di testi sacri, valorizzazione della dimensione etica della religione, così come tramite esperienze quotidiane fuori dalla dimensione strettamente religiosa, si producono nuove soggettività pubbliche, nuove dinamiche di costruzione di appartenenza, nuovi orizzonti simbolici e culturali entro cui riscrivere la relazione tra dimensione intima e comunitaria dell’islam

Numerical simulation of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation Matteo Beccaria
No full textWe simulate the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in 2+1 dimensions. It is a non linear stochastic differential equation which describes driven growing interfaces. The Hopf-Cole transformation is used in order to obtain a stable numerical scheme. The two relevant critical exponents are precisely measured. PACS numbers: 64.60.Ht, 05.40.+j, 05.70.Ln, 68.35.Fx 1. Introduction Growing surfaces exhibit a non equilibrium critical dynamics with scaling properties similar to those of equilibrium critical phenomena. Many models have been proposed to describe the universal features of the growth process. The first numerical investigations [1] showed that the critical behaviour of the surface is described by two exponents z and Ø. The interface roughness W (to be defined later) grows with time t as W ¸ L Ø f i t L \Gammaz j (1) where L is the system size. Among the possible systems possessing such a scaling law, we mention for instance lattice ballistic deposition models, lattice stacking ..
