VICOFORTE IN FIERA: IL RUOLO DELLA “FIERA DEL SANTUARIO” NELLO SVILUPPO DELLA COMUNITÀ LOCALE
No full textLe fiere ed i mercati possono essere considerati gli antenati dei moderni centri commerciali, grazie al ruolo centrale che avevano nel commercio delle epoche passate.
Le realtà che ospitavano eventi di questo genere venivano riconosciute come dei poli commerciali su cui fare affidamento per concludere i propri affari, generando nel tempo una reputazione che permetteva di attrarre sempre più persone da luoghi sempre più lontani.
Da una prospettiva economico-aziendale, la fiera può essere considerata come uno strumento, nelle mani delle aziende, per creare ed accrescere il valore, non solo da una mera prospettiva economica ma anche sociale.
In questo contesto, questo paper studia la Fiera del Santuario, allestita da più di 400 anni tra i comuni di Mondovì e Vicoforte, situati agli estremi meridionali della Bassa Langa, in Piemonte.
Obiettivo di questo paper, ricorrendo alla dottrina economico-aziendale ed avvalendosi del pensiero dei grandi Maestri dell’Economia Aziendale, è quello di evidenziare il circolo virtuoso che si è instaurato tra il comune di Vicoforte, la Congregazione del Santuario e la Fiera del Santuario nella creazione di valore non solo per loro stessi ma anche per tutta la comunità, quindi produzione di valore sociale
Accounting for Climate Change: A Temporal Analysis of the Literature
No full textThis study presents a systematic literature review of articles related to accounting for climate change. By adopting the theoretical lenses of the actor–network theory, this study investigates the primary actors influencing management research on accounting for climate change and how their roles have evolved over time considering major international climate agreements, such as the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal. Results of this study reveal a shift in research focus from corporate sustainability reporting and voluntary disclosures to broader economic models integrating climate adaptation, risk management, and green finance post-2015. The findings highlight how the role of dominant actors evolved over time, with increased polarization in the field. Thus, results provide evidence for the reflectivity of global political and economic developments on the evolution of the scientific debate, also in the area under investigation
Un diritto “virato”? Virus vi repellere licet (oportet)
No full textL’emergenza coronavirus sta contaminando la vita degli individui e delle
società in tutti i campi: non solo la sfera socio-sanitaria, ma anche quelle
etico-sociale, culturale, politica, giuridica risultano “contagiate” da un virus
che non sembra risparmiare, per effetto diretto o indiretto, né i corpi
né lo spirito. Un’emergenza “virologica” rischia di imprimere una brusca
“virata” a processi che si ritenevano ormai acquisiti: dalle abitudini quotidiane
alla globalizzazione, dall’istruzione al lavoro, il mondo sembra non
ruotare più attorno ad assi consolidati. Di questo mutamento di rotta,
al momento non prefigurabile con chiarezza nelle sue direzioni, è parte
integrante l’assetto in base al quale si orientano i programmi e le scelte di
politica del diritto: in particolare, in materia di tutela della salute pubblica,
e delle condizioni e dei rapporti di lavoro. La decretazione governativa
emergenziale, mettendo a dura prova la tenuta costituzionale dell’ordinamento
giuridico, sta occupando tutto lo spazio della configurazione
delle situazioni suscettibili di intervento normativo, sempre più affidata
a comitati tecnico-scientifici degli esperti di settore. Le trasformazioni in
atto comportano, in alcuni casi, un disallineamento del diritto dai principi
e dalle categorie tradizionali, tanto più rapido nell’esecuzione quanto più
sottratto a una necessaria discussione ed elaborazione delle nuove linee
progettuali d’indirizzo generale. In questo contributo si tenta di offrire
una prima riflessione critica sui fattori di assestamento, e sugli sviluppi,
che interessano gli elementi giuridici (o, viceversa, para- o anti-giuridici)
oggi emergenti.The coronavirus emergency is contaminating the lives of individuals and
societies in all fields: not only the social-healthcare area but also the ethical-
social, cultural, political, legal and juridical spheres are “infected” by
a virus which does not seem to save, either directly or indirectly, bodies
or spirit. A “virological” emergency risks impressing an abrupt “turn”
on processes that were thought to have been acquired: from daily habits
to globalisation, from education to work, the world no longer seemsto revolve around consolidated axes. An integral part of this change of
direction, which at the moment cannot be clearly foreshadowed in its
directions, is the structure on the basis of which legal programs and policy
choices are oriented, in particular, with regard to the protection of
public health and employment conditions and relations. The emergency
government decree is putting to the test the legal system’s constitutional
soundness and is taking up all the space in the configuration of situations
susceptible to regulatory intervention, increasingly entrusted to
technical-scientific committees of experts in the sector. In some cases the
transformations underway entail a misalignment of the law from traditional
principles and categories. This process is very rapid in execution
and, therefore, there is not the necessary discussion and elaboration of
new general guidelines. In this contribution we try to offer a first critical
reflection on the factors and developments regarding the legal (or, vice
versa, para- or anti-legal) elements emerging today
Review of the conference book Corporate governance: International outlook by A. M. Gallo, U. Comite, & A. Kostyuk
No full textThe genesis of the book Corporate Governance: International Outlook, edited by Alba Maria Gallo, Ubaldo Comite, and Alexander Kostyuk, can be traced back to the International Online Conference “Corporate Governance: International Outlook” held on June 5, 2025. The book compiles the manuscripts broadly categorized into four distinct, albeit interrelated themes of corporate governance — board of directors’ practices, artificial intelligence (AI), sustainability and reporting, and several other key aspects of corporate governance, including legal aspects, public policy, small and medium enterprises amongst others, which are highly relevant as well as frequently discussed at public platforms.ei tietoa saavutettavuudest
Telemedicine Services: Opportunities and Developments in Italy
No full textTelemedicine services, with the collection and sharing of patient clinical data, have gone from an emergency response during the pandemic to an essential structural investment for the Italian health system.
Telemedicine is a part of the main digital transformation process in healthcare and is establishing itself
as a key technological tool to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the system. Indeed, it can make
the difference in each phase of healthcare, from prevention to access to care, up to the real patient care,
helping to shift the center of gravity of the Italian healthcare system moving from the centralized care
in the hospitals to home healthcare. Through a literature review, an overview of the telemedicine in the
Italian context is proposed, discussing the factors that facilitate its development, the main barriers to
its implementation, and the future prospects of these digital tools that are useful to support the National
Healthcare System
Geografia della fame: sessanta anni dopo!
No full textThe issue regarding the contrast between the potential population growth and the
potential increase in sustenance (alias, food supply) is as old as time. At the beginning of
the Fifties a book entitled “The Geography of Hunger” was published; the author, Josuè De
Castro, took stock of the multiple questions regarding the issues deriving from hunger and
malnutrition immediately after the Second World War. Since then, after about sixty years,
despite reality has experienced remarkable changes, the issue of hunger is still a living
matter. The following article will examine the “state” of World hunger as well as explore a
range of feasible solutions and strategies aiming at reaching a sustainable economic growth
in developing countries. The article will argue that the common denominator of all these
solutions and strategies is investing in productive, innovative and sustainable agriculture.La questione del contrasto tra la crescita potenziale della popolazione e il potenziale aumento del sostentamento (alias, approvvigionamento alimentare) è vecchio come il tempo. All'inizio degli anni Cinquanta viene pubblicato un libro intitolato “La geografia della fame”; l'autore, Josuè De Castro, ha fatto il punto sulle molteplici domande riguardanti i problemi derivanti dalla fame e malnutrizione subito dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Da allora, dopo circa sessant'anni, nonostante la realtà abbia subito notevoli cambiamenti, il problema della fame è ancora vivo. Il seguente articolo esaminerà lo "stato" della fame nel mondo e esplorerà una gamma di soluzioni praticabili e strategie volte a raggiungere una crescita economica sostenibile nei paesi in via di sviluppo. L'articolo sosterrà che il denominatore comune di tutte queste soluzioni e strategie sta investendo in un'agricoltura produttiva, innovativa e sostenibile
The efficiency of nations in the struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textThe COVID-19 crisis has caused unprecedented suffering across the world. Millions have become infected, and hundreds of thousands have lost their lives. Nations mobilised their health workers and infrastructure to curb the spread of the disease and cure the infected. This paper aims to investigate the efficiency of nations in their struggle against the COVID-19 and how their efficiency changed over time analysing data from June and December 2020 with a novel three-stage methodology. In the first stage, we clustered 107 nations into highly competitive, competitive, and non-competitive countries using their Global Competitiveness Index scores published by the World Economic Forum evaluate a country in a group of comparable countries. In the second stage, we used Data Envelopment Analysis to assess the efficiency of each nation. In the third stage, we investigated the relationship between countries' efficiency and performance in 66 variables published in the United Nations Human Development Report along with the long-debated aspect of a nation's political governance regime using Tobit regression. Based on the data in June and December, the USA and the UK were the worst performers in the highly competitive nations cluster, Chile and Peru were the worst performers in the competitive nations cluster, and Brazil and Mozambique were the worst performers in the non-competitive nations cluster, respectively. Air pollution, international inbound tourists, urban population significantly reduced while domestic credit and gross national income per capita significantly increased efficiency, but the political regime did not affect efficiency
Management of Dementia Symptoms in Healthcare:An Evaluation of the Non-Pharmacological Approaches in Cognitive Symptom Management
No full textPeople with dementia are challenged with many cognitive symptoms affecting their daily life. This chapter aims to prioritize the needs of dementia patients who suffer from progressive cognitive decline and gradually lose their ability to make decisions. It describes the cognitive difficulties in each stage and provides information about cognitive symptom management in healthcare. The essential activities to ameliorate the effects of cognitive decline in dementia discussed are cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation, such as cognitive stimulation therapy, use of serious games, virtual reality games etc., reminiscence therapy, reality orientation therapy, and physical and social activities. In addition, the chapter discusses the importance of educated clinical staff in healthcare to identify comorbidities and understand the progression of chronic diseases in people with dementia, especially in those patients who are not able to communicate their needs. Also, the chapter recommends future research and solutions for digital therapeutic interventions
