Energy performance assessment of residential building stock in Albania
No full textFor more than 15 years, Albania is dealing with measures towards reduction of energy consumption (especially electricity). Since one of the biggest shares of energy consumption is from the residential sector, this paper will analyze the energy consumption of residential building stock, in terms of energy performance. In order to decrease the energy utilization in Albania, we first need comprehensive studies of the actual condition of this sector from the perspective of energy use and energy performance. The chosen typology is load bearing masonry construction, apartment building, type 83/3 and 83/7. This typology of buildings are constructed during the communist era, meaning that they are prone to huge amount of energy consumption because of the lack of measures related to energy efficiency and energy conservation, also time degradation is another very important element to take into consideration while calculating the energy performance of the upper mentioned buildings
New gamma-ray spectrometry methods for estimating K, U, TH concentrations in rocks of the Sardinia batholith
No full textIn this PhD thesis are collected the results of a research project in the field of nuclear geophysics developed with the scientific collaboration between the Department of Natural and Territorial Sciences of the University of Sassari and the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences of the University of Ferrara. In particular, the research has focused on two main themes: the first part of the work has addressed the problem of the content of natural radionuclides in rocks as an instrument of their lithological characterization, geochemistry and orogenetic, while the second part deal with the realization of a collimated gamma spectrometer for in situ measurements.
The abundances of 40K, U and Th in the Corsica-Sardinian Batholith in the N-E of Sardinia were investigated with 545 in situ gamma spectroscopy measurements with portable detectors NaI(Tl) and 167 measurements of natural radionuclides on rock samples using HPGe detectors. On the basis of the data obtained were processed high-resolution thematic maps of the distribution of radionuclides as well as radiometric ternary map, which show excellent agreement with the geological maps of the region.
The second part of the thesis describes a new portable and collimated NaI(Tl) spectrometer, which has been calibrated successfully using the FSA method with the NNLS constraint. The results of the measurements show good agreement with the measured concentrations with independent instruments (HPGe)

Migrants in Europe’s Domestic and Care Sector: The Institutional Response
No full textThis article draws attention to the case of migrant domestic and care workers employed by European household to provide home-based services such as cleaning, elderly care and childcare. We examine the impact of the pandemic on their conditions by looking at policy responses addressing their case and, when available, to statistical and qualitative data on their conditions before, during and after the pandemic crisis.
Previous studies have shown that migrant domestic and care workers are more likely to work under precarious labour conditions compared to others (e.g. Lightman 2017, Jokela 2019). Furthermore, earlier research shows that institutions play a crucial role in shaping simultaneously their legal status as migrants and their employment status as workers (Williams & Gavanas 2008, Hellgren 2015, Jokela 2017). Governments may enhance their status through policies that regulate the migrants’ employment in the sector, or they may increase precariousness by promoting informal and irregular work, or through households offering incentives for households that actually weaken workers' positions. Different policy approaches to care needs of households with elderly members or young children also play an important role.
We also know from earlier studies that there are significant cross-country differences in the status and employment conditions of these migrant workers, in Europe (Marchetti and Triandafyllidou 2014, 2017). In some countries, they enjoy the same labour rights as other workers, while in other countries they only benefit partly. Some countries have chosen the no policy option, leaving these workers in a very precarious situation. Above all, there is also the particular role of EU institutions which have been ambivalent on their position on this sector so far, and we might see how they react to this new challenge.
Building on the awareness on the role of institutional actors, we first examine cross-nationally the policy responses taken by different countries to support migrant domestic and care workers throughout the pandemic by looking at whether they implemented specific measures (e.g. monetary income-support, unemployment benefits, health insurance provision, etc.) addressing their situation. We also review measures taken to support employers (e.g. cash transfers for home-based childcare) which might have had an effect on migrant workers in this field. This is done on the basis of institutional reports published in these months (e.g. Gentilini et al. 2020, ILO 2020).
Secondly, we assess the impact of the pandemic (and related policies) on workers (employment status, hours, demographics, wages, etc.) and on migration status (residents permits, etc.) on the basis of public databases and other secondary data sources.
Finally, we also discuss whether current policies have reinforced existing inequalities and outline what policies we might hope for future scenarios
