INTERIORS IN THE AGE OF UNCERTAINTY. Future-proofing design practices
No full textThe early years of the second decade of the 21st century marked a profound change in humankind’s living and interacting experiences. Humans’ relationship with their surrounding environment – both natural and antropicì – was vehemently challenged during the COVID-19 global pandemic and in the immediately following period that everyone is experiencing. These transformations will be threatened and altered again in the future by the risks posed by climate change and by economic, political, and social issues, and by other unforeseeable circumstances that delineate this historical period as one of great uncertainties.
In this context the constellation of spaces – both interior and exterior, both public and private ones – requires new approaches and systemic redefinitions that stems from their roots: design strategies, tacticts, processes, and practices for designing spaces, especially interiors, that are able improve the quality of people’s living. The spontaneous questions that arise from this research are answered through the delineation of three macro-themes: sustainability, flexibility, and the role of perception.
The aim of this publication is to investigate how spatial design, and in particular interior design, has reacted and continues to respond to the everchanging transformations of the contemporary scenario, considering both the conceptual-designing dimension in the definition of spaces and the operational-executive dimension, which cannot be separated from the completion of a design process.
This research encourages analytical and critical reflection on contemporary design processes in order to support researchers and students, as well as practitioners in design and architecture, to experiment with and to innovate design processes and to implement positive paradigmatic transformations for sustainable models of living both in the present and in the future
Post covid interiors in the city of care
No full textil testo evidenzia la trasformazione degli spazi interni e del ruolo dell'interior design successivamente alla pandemia Covid 19; flessibilità, trasformabilità, sostenibilità ma anche nuove relazioni fra attività e ambiti pubblici e privati, insieme ad una nuova relazione con gli spazi esterni e con quelli di mediazione fra l'abitazione e l'esterno, appaiono essere importanti elementi di guida e riferimento per un nuovo ruolo dell'interior design negli spazi della nuova domesticità
The relevance of color in post COVID-19 interior design
No full textThe aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of thoughtful use of colors in post COVID-19 interior design and architecture, through the analysis of relevant case studies that challenge the definition of residential, work and hospitality spaces. Houses used to provide a private retreat from working and social activities, but in 2020 they abruptly took on new functions that once were prerogative of hotels and workspaces. This resulted in an extreme blurring of private and public spaces in the home, that can potentially have detrimental effects on the mental health and well-being of its occupants. Reconsidering essential elements of design practices, such as the chromatic definition and acoustics, could therefore help soothing the popular insecurities of the fruition of public places, well remark the role of private ones and further define new hybrid spaces, as shown by the research “Living, Working and Traveling”, curated by E. Elgani and F. Scullica

IL GOVERNO DEI SERVIZI TERRITORIALI: BUDGET E VALUTAZIONE DELL'INTEGRAZIONE
No full textLa componente territoriale dei servizi sanitari e socio-sanitari è in una fase storico-culturale di rilevante espansione sia in termini di volumi di prestazioni, sia di importanza clinica. Questo fenomeno è reso possibile dai nuovi modelli di medicina, sempre più rivolti a contesti assistenziali ambulatoriali e diurni e a logiche preventive, e ha come obiettivo principale quello di dare risposta ai bisogni di assistenza sul territorio da parte di una quota crescete di pazienti anziani e affetti da patologie croniche. Il volume propone un framework teorico e metodologico per la definizione e la rilevazione di alcune dimensioni rilevanti per un'efficace organizzazione dei servizi del territorio: l'integrazione fra i professionisti coinvolti nei percorsi di cura delle cronicità, il livello di continuità delle cure percepito dai pazienti e il livello di coordinamento e integrazione nell'utilizzo degli strumenti di programmazione e controllo dell'attività territoriale daparte delle aziende. Il volume presenta i risultati di due ricerche condotte in partnership da CERGAS e FIASO per il Governo del Territorio, in cui vengono illustrate le evidenze empiriche relative ad un campione significativo di aziende sanitarie nazional
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Un decalogo per il middle e top management per l'integrazione e il governo dei servizi territoriali
No full textNel testo si propone un decalogo di possibili azioni politiche per il middle management (direttori di distretto, dipartimento ecc.) dei servizi territoriali e per il top management delle aziende USL. Il cuore del decalogo proposto riguarda l'adozione di logiche e strumnti utili a monitorare e sviluppare l'integrazione dei processi professioniali, la continuità delle cure percepite dai pazienti e lo sviluppo dei sistemi di programmazione e controllo per governare la performance dei professionisti e delle loro équipe
