Why (and how) to regulate Power Exchanges in the EU market integration context?
No full textPower Exchanges (PXs) are key market institutions in open and market-based electricity industries. This paper aims at contributing to the ongoing debate on why and how to regulate Power Exchanges in the EU market integration context. . The paper starts by stating that two different types of PXs have to be distinguished, i.e. "Merchant" PXs and the "Cost of Service Regulated" PXs. The paper continues by comparing the typical incentives of these two types of PXs to perform the basic PX tasks in an isolated national market and in a market integration context. The paper concludes by deriving from this analytical frame the most relevant regulatory actions..Regulation, Exchanges, Grid access, Power Markets.
Processi e stati dell’identità in adolescenti italiani e di differenti gruppi etnici
No full textIl contributo riporta sinteticamente i dati della ricerca presentata al congresso AIP della sezione di Psicologia sociale .In questo contributo è presentato uno studio condotto nel centro Italia a cui hanno partecipato 509 studenti di età compresa tra gli 11 e i 19 anni (55% maschi). Nello specifico, 261 adolescenti provenivano da famiglie italiane; 100 da famiglie miste; e 148 da famiglie immigrate. Attraverso il modello sviluppato recentemente da Crocetti, Rubini e Meeus (2008) sono stati esaminati sia i processi dell’identità (impegno, esplorazione in profondità e riconsiderazione dell'impegno) sia gli stati dell’identità (acquisizione, chiusura, moratorium, moratorium di ricerca e diffusione). I risultati hanno mostrato che gli adolescenti provenienti da famiglie immigrate si differenziano significativamente dai loro coetanei provenienti da famiglie italiane o miste in quant

Mobilizing Cities towards a Low Carbon Future: Tambourines, Carrots and Sticks
No full textIn the transition towards a decarbonized energy system, we need city authorities to lead by example as public actors, to govern the actions of the private urban actors as local policy makers, and to conceive and manage the implementation of an integrated approach as coordinators, which we introduce in this paper as three levels of city smartness. Local governments however have institutional disincentives to act, and if they do act, they are confronted with urban actors that are reluctant to follow. This paper analyzes how city pioneers in Europe have been able to overcome these disincentives thanks to a combination of local circumstances and interventions by higher levels of government. We categorize the state of the art instruments that have been used by higher levels of government into “tambourines”, “carrots”, and “sticks”, and reflect on how the state of the art could be improved.cities; climate change; governance
PENENTUAN HARI LIBUR NASIONAL UMAT KRISTEN DI INDONESIA MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA ASTRONOMI MEEUS
No full textAstronomically, Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. In Indonesia, Christian holidays including Easter are regulated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs based on the recommendation of Indonesian Church Union (PGI) and Bishops Conference of Indonesia (KWI). This study objective is to formulate a simple time marker by using Meeus Astronomical Algorithm to determine Christian holidays in Indonesian Gregorian calendar. Another objective is to evaluate the Christian holidays on Indonesian calendar between 1960 and 2015. Finally, this study would also provide prediction for future Christian holidays. This study finds out that the Christian holidays on Indonesian calendar are proven as methodologically accurate. It indicates that Meeus Astronomical Algorithm can produce accurate calculation for determining Christian holidays in Indonesia in the future.
KEY WORDS:Meeus astronomical algorithm, christian holidays, Indonesian calendarSecara astronomis, perayaan Paskah jatuh pada hari Minggu pertama setelah bulan purnama pertama, setelah Matahari melalui Vernal Equinox. Di Indonesia tanggal libur keagamaan umat Kristen ditentukan oleh Kementerian Agama atas rekomendasi Persekutuan Gereja di Indonesia (PGI) dan Konferensi Wali Gereja Indonesia (KWI). Kajian ini bertujuan membuat program tanda waktu sederhana berdasarkan Algoritma Meeus untuk menentukan hari libur nasional umat Kristen di Indonesia pada kalender masehi, juga untuk evaluasi data hari libur umat Kristen dalam sejarah kalender Indonesia yang tercatat pada tahun 1960 hingga 2015 serta prakiraan hari libur umat Kristen di masa depan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa tidak ditemui perbedaan pada Kalender Indonesia. Ini membuktikan bahwa hari libur umat Kristen di Indonesia tidak pernah menyimpang dari ketentuan. Dengan ini maka program Algoritma Meeus dapat direkomendasikan sebagai program tanda waktu hari libur nasional umat Kristen di Indonesia.
KATA KUNCI: Algoritma astronomi meeus, hari libur Kristen, kalender nasiona

Attaccamento ai genitori e disagio emotivo in adolescenti appartenenti a famiglie italiane, miste e migranti: Un approccio multi-metodo
No full textUna ricerca compiuta in italia con metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa per approfondire l'attaccamento ai genitori e il disagio emotivo in adolescenti appartenenti a famiglie italiane, miste e migranti.I partecipanti erano 509 adolescenti (55% maschi) che frequentavano varie scuole medie e superiori del centro-est Italia. La loro età variava tra gli 11 e i 19 anni (M = 13.6, DS = 2.2). Il campione era composto da tre gruppi: 261 adolescenti provenivano da famiglie italiane; 100 da famiglie miste (in cui un solo genitore aveva la nazionalità italiana); e 148 da famiglie migranti. I risultati hanno mostrato che gli adolescenti provenienti da famiglie migranti si differenziano dai loro coetanei provenienti da famiglie italiane o miste in quanto manifestano con minore frequenza un forte attaccamento a entrambi i genitori e con maggiore frequenza un debole attaccamento a entrambi. Inoltre, gli studenti di famiglie migranti riportano più sintomi ansiosi e depressivi dei coloro coetanei appartenenti alle famiglie italiane e miste. In generale, gli adolescenti con un forte attaccamento a entrambi i genitori manifestano i livelli più bassi di sintomi depressivi e ansiosi mentre un legame ambivalente o evitante sono associati a maggiori disagi emotivi. I risultati sono interpretabili in linea con la letteratura che vuole i compiti di sviluppo relazionali più complessi in adolescenti di famiglie migranti mentre nelle famiglie miste la coppia sarebbe già abituata a negoziare tra culture differenti rendendo meno complessa la costruzione dell’identità nei figli
Implicit Auctioning on the Kontek Cable: Third Time Lucky?
No full textCross-border capacities in Europe are currently inefficiently used. Implicit auctioning is about eliminating these cross-border trade inefficiencies by internalizing the arbitrage into the auction procedures of the Power Exchanges that are organizing trade nationally. On the Kontek Cable, implicit auctioning has been implemented without price coordination between the involved Power Exchanges. This implementation, referred to as “volume or dome coupling” as opposed to “price coupling”, has been argued to be institutionally easier to implement. The Kontek Cable experimented with three different implicit auctioning implementations whose performance we analyze empirically in this paper. We find that the third implementation is significantly outperforming the previous two implementations, but in this third implementation stakeholders partly abandoned the volume coupling approach they initially believed to be a viable alternative to price coupling.electricity, transmission, congestion management, market coupling
"Family Comes First!" Relationships with family and friends in Italian emerging adults
No full textWe conducted two studies to examine relationships with family and friends in Italian emerging adults, paying attention to the potential moderating role of gender and occupational status. In Study I, we aimed at capturing emerging adults' perspective on interactions with both family and friends by means of a qualitative approach. Participants were 39 emerging adults (51% males), who were interviewed individually or within a focus group. In Study II, we sought to examine how family and friend importance to identity were related to life satisfaction through a quantitative approach. Participants were 474 (47.3% males) emerging adults who filled a self-report questionnaire. Overall, findings indicated solid family ties and a strong impact of family importance to identity for life satisfaction. Results were independent of gender and occupational status (university students vs. workers). Thus, findings highlighted that in the Italian context young people's transition to adulthood is strongly intertwined with family relationships
