La costituzione di aziende sociali: la terza via tra mercato e gerarchia. Il caso dell’Istituzione Servizi Sociali di Castel San Pietro Terme
No full textObiettivo del presente lavoro è quello di descrivere come la costituzione di una azienda sociale possa rappresentare la terza via tra mercato e gerarchia, mostrando i risultati raggiunti, in termini di efficacia e di efficienza gestionale, da una Istituzione operante ormai da oltre un quinquennio nell’ambito dei servizi sociali. Il presente articolo descrive l’esperienza maturata dall’Istituzione di Castel San Pietro Terme negli anni 1997 - 2002. Il caso costituisce un interessante esempio di come gli effetti attesi dalla separazione tra acquirente e fornitore e dall’introduzione di innovativi strumenti di gestione possano trovare piena realizzazione

Title: Recovering and reusing historical buildings with particular care to non-conventional construction technology and eco sustainable energy resources applied to public buildings for community use.
Key words: building technology, renewable technology, eco sustainable public buildings, recovering and reusing historical buildings , nested multi-storey structures, natural lighting.
Abstract: Nowadays recovering and reusing historical building are topics getting more and more important.
The willingness of recovering new building volumes for the sake of the community operating in an eco sustainable housing perspective has brought to the architectural-structural redefinition of entire historical buildings. This has been very often achieved by operating on the main core of the existing building using "non conventional" techniques.
There are many valid arguments concerning recovery and reusing buildings settled in an historical context, among them the centrality of the structure in comparison to the human needs of the surroundings.
Schools, libraries, and generally public buildings must be strategically placed near or inside social realities allowing easy accessibility for elderly, young people and in general for everyone. At the same time these buildings should use natural energy sources with low or null environmental impact such as for example solar light.
The approach of this work has been the analysis of real data field regarding two buildings in historical context, both of them for community use and intended to university activities.
First work (completed) is the new University of Rovereto (Palazzo Piomarta, Trento, Italy).
Inside an historical building, two courtyards, originally designed to be open-air walkways, were covered and reused as new library halls.
Technologies and materials used are carbon fiber for structural consolidation, steel beams and structural glass for new floors.
Structural glass was used for new floors with the aim of giving light to areas of the library with solar radiation coming from top of the building using null environmental impact energies .
Second work (executive project) is about a building, property of University of Padua (Complesso S.Giorgio o del Padovanino, Italy)
A new structural frame is fitted in the historical building shell to permit new architectural and structural use of the areas.
This structure allows supporting the already existing ancient walls and so the re-opening of an original loggia, previously closed, through the making of capitals without columns, totally suspended, aimed at supporting the original arches that are then brought back to the original static function.
In conclusion, even in this work it's possible to find innovative building technologies joined to null environmental impact energy sources such as solar radiation used for the library
The Electoral Consequences of Large Fiscal Adjustments
No full textThe conventional wisdom regarding the political consequences of large reductions of budget deficits is that they are very costly for the governments which implement them: they are punished by voters at the following elections. In the present paper, instead, we find no evidence that governments which quickly reduce budget deficits are systematically voted out of office in a sample of 19 OECD countries from 1975 to 2008. We also take into consideration issues of reverse causality, namely the possibility that only "strong and popular" governments can implement fiscal adjustments and thus they are not voted out of office "despite" having reduced the deficits. In the end we conclude that many governments can reduce deficits avoiding an electoral defeat.
Realizzare le mascherine per gli sbiancamenti domiciliari: la tecnica MO.BI [Creating home-bleaching trays: the MO.BI. technique]
No full textObiettivi
Nello sbiancamento domiciliare il paziente esegue il trattamento a casa propria, sotto il controllo dell’odontoiatra, indossando mascherine contenenti il gel sbiancante. Scopo del lavoro è quello di presentare una nuova tecnica di realizzazione delle mascherine.
Materiali e metodi
Le mascherine hanno la funzione di contenere la giusta quantità di gel e di evitare che lo stesso agente sbiancante possa venire a contatto con i tessuti gengivali. Abbiamo messo a punto una tecnica di realizzazione delle mascherine che, grazie a una particolare bisellatura del modello in gesso, permette un sigillo perfetto sui tessuti dentari del paziente, senza il pericolo di fuoriuscita del gel sbiancante sulle gengive.
Risultati
La tecnica MO.BI., associata all’uso di dischi di materiale e spessore adeguato, permette di ottenere mascherine molto precise.
Conclusioni
L’esperienza quotidiana ci ha insegnato che la qualità e la precisione della mascherina sono fondamentali per ottenere un buon risultato estetico e soprattutto il massimo comfort per il paziente
The timing and operational management of the variables of bleaching in cases of rehabilitation in the esthetic field
No full textManaging esthetic restoration in the presence of discolored teeth is a challenge for both the clinical team and clinician, whose aim is to use methods that are as minimally invasive as possible, and materials that allow the preservation of dental tissue. Should one wish to act on the discoloration of teeth that are to be restored, or on adjacent ones, it becomes essential to take action on dental tissues. This is done through bleaching and dental restoration, using materials that allow various clinical situations to be managed, such as those with different tonalities between the teeth: prosthetic materials that offer adequate uniformity in their results in those areas where it is necessary to mask the discoloration. The use of technology such as bleaching, and ceramic materials simultaneously can achieve excellent cosmetic results. This article explains how to integrate bleaching compared to prosthetic treatment, in terms of time, in the various cases of discoloration, and what factors to consider when choosing the timing
The Snøhetta multiscale design method
No full textSnøhetta is one of the highest mountains in Scandinavia, and its name and stylised profile also identify the biggest Norwegian design studio, which has been at the top of a range of categories in
world rankings in the sector for some time. Today, this company has over 270 employees distributed across seven branches in Europe, America, Asia and Oceania, and promotes an interdisciplinary
and collaborative approach to design that encourages complex, sustainable, multiscale creations in the sectors of architecture, landscape design, interior design, and graphic and product design.
Such projects, along with the work processes they originate from, are taken into consideration by the author in the development of this paper, in a critical analysis made possible by a long, direct
research relationship, in order to recreate the profile of a big contemporary design firm for which, if the classifications of branding or the creative industry are to be used, it must be done with quite
unique meanings
