Consensual paradigms between the State and local authorities and the role of the Conferences

Ad oltre un decennio dalla riforma costituzionale del 2001, la non compiuta attuazione della stessa sembra condurre ad una nuova ed assai prossima revisione costituzionale. Nel mutato quadro costituzionale di quest’ultimo periodo l’attenzione e l’interesse sono stati richiamati da una grande quantità di accordi, di intese e di altri moduli consensuali, introdotti ed esitati nei rapporti tra Stato ed autonomie territoriali. Dall’esame del sistema delle Conferenze si è evidenziata la loro indispensabilità ai fini del coordinamento delle azioni politico –amministrative delle autonomie territoriali, ma è anche venuta fuori l’esigenza di ricorrere frequentemente ad altri tipi di moduli consensuali, spesso non tipizzati in ambito legislativo. I principi di sussidiarietà e di leale collaborazione inducono non di rado ad assumere, nella concretezza, forme eterogenee poco chiare e confuse (accordo, intesa, concerto, parere) che, pur considerati i contributi offerti dalla dottrina e dalla giurisprudenza, richiederebbero un intervento da parte del legislatore. L’approfondimento tematico ha rilevato, nel contesto di rapporti tra Stato ed autonomie territoriali, un movimento per così dire ondulatorio tra accese spinte autonomistiche e rimarcate esigenze centralistiche, lasciando ancora nella prospettiva una operativa ed efficiente armonia istituzionale.More than one decade after the lack of implementation of the 2001constitutional reform leads to a forthcoming constitutional review. Recently, due to undergoing changes of the constitutional framework, the State and local authorities have focused their attention on establishing a large number of mutual agreements, arrangements and further consensual paradigms. The system of Conferences undertook an examination which emphasizes their essential role to coordinate both the political and administrative actions of local authorities, as well as necessity of further consensual paradigms rarely taken into account by the legislative field. The principles of subsidiarity and fairness often lead to unclear and confusing heterogeneous forms of agreements. although they are considered contributions of legal authors and jurisprudence, the intervention of the legislator should be required. Having regard to the relation between the State and the local autonomies, the analysis revealed an ambiguous trend between autonomist and centralist positions. In conclusion, in order to achieve significant and rapid changes in the second part of the Constitution, the aim is rationalization and simplification of the functions and procedures, which leads to time, energy and resources efficiency

The emergence of wellbeing in late modern capitalism: Theory, research and policy responses

This article outlines a historical and theoretical framework that traces the historical and discursive emergence of the concept of wellbeing as a consequence of the decline of traditional capitalism and modernity and the subsequent shift to a late modern capitalist economy. On the structural level, this shift precipitates a new type of consumption that not only characterises the productive and physical capacity of the economy and products, but cascades into the social construction of multiple discursive, symbolic and cultural products, images, and forms of information and meanings, from wellbeing emerges. This process has consequences for individuals in late modernity as they navigate through a world where life-worlds, security and relationships are disrupted and require new forms of revising and responding to change. Consequently, wellbeing further establishes a means of responding and adapting to, for instance, changing lives, circumstances, security, and happiness. The emergence of wellbeing as a significant component of social policy discourses has also precipitated debate around the types of research and policy responses relevant to the study of wellbeing. As a result, the article also prescribes an epistemology founded upon a 'cultural' and 'relational' approach that can effectively underpin research and social policies relevant to wellbeing in late modern capitalism

The compositional model of Santo Domingo and Cartagena fortifications between old and new world

The work of the Antonelli family has determined the constructive characteristics of Spanish forti- fications in the new world. Their fame is due to Giovanni Battista, the military and hydraulic engineer of Italian origin, and training in the Spanish Crown service. During the second half of the sixteenth century, he designed and built the defense of the Iberian Peninsula’s borders, taking care of Cartagena’s port city, the coast of the Kingdom of Valencia, and the African ports of Oran and Mazalquivir. An extensive work, whose characters are taken from the younger brother, Battista Antonelli, planned the defensive system of fortresses and walls in the Caribbean and, more generally, in the Spanish colonies of Central America. In the first decades of the seventeenth century, the New World was a destination for explorations and observations by the great monarchies of the old continent: the English, French, Dutch, and Spanish fought over lands and businesses on a Caribbean sea that became international. In 1586 Philip II of Spain nominated Battista Antonelli as his engineer, with the specific aim of structuring the defense of the lands of the Corona overseas. Over the years, Antonelli inspects and presents design proposals for many cities in Central America, working from Colombia, Panama, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Cuba. The text addresses, in particular, the description of Cartagena de Indi- as and Santo Domingo, comparing them through the narration of two analysis, training, and docu- mentation projects conducted here by the DAda LAB Research Laboratory

Chapter Strategie per la rappresentazione dei segni e degli iconemi del paesaggio irriguo pavese

The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences

The health and wellbeing of gypsies and travellers in settled housing: A narrative review of the evidence and policy

Gypsies and Travellers have historically been afforded low priority in research into their health and wellbeing despite evidence of negative social and health and wellbeing experiences in daily living. This article presents a narrative review of the literature around the health and wellbeing of Gypsies and Travellers in settled housing. From the evidence, two themes emerge. The first one demonstrates that the experience of settled housing is often detrimental to the health and wellbeing of Gypsies and Travellers. The second theme suggests that Gypsies and Travellers often attempt to minimise the negative impacts of the shift into settled housing to assist in enhancing health and wellbeing. The article then proceeds to suggest how health and wellbeing researchers and social policy makers can further develop the evidence base and the policy and practices responses required as a result

LONELINESS AND YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH DIFFICULTIES: EVIDENCE AND FURTHER RESEARCH

This article reviews the current evidence base around loneliness; mental health, and young people, and the challenges identified in conducting research in this area. It then proceeds to consider the scope of further research and its impact upon policy and practice; in terms of inclusion of more enhanced theoretical frameworks; use of qualitative research and methodologies and impact of research upon policy and practice and enablement of more effective policies and interventions

Bond Order in Two-Dimensional Metals with Antiferromagnetic Exchange Interactions

We present an unrestricted Hartree-Fock computation of charge-ordering instabilities of two-dimensional metals with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, allowing for arbitrary ordering wave vectors and internal wave functions of the particle-hole pair condensate. We find that the ordering has a dominant d symmetry of rotations about lattice points for a range of ordering wave vectors, including those observed in recent experiments at low temperatures on YBa2Cu3Oy. This d symmetry implies the charge ordering is primarily on the bonds of the Cu lattice, and we propose incommensurate bond order parameters for the underdoped cuprates. The field theory for the onset of Néel order in a metal has an emergent pseudospin symmetry which “rotates” d-wave Cooper pairs to particle-hole pairs [M. A. Metlitski and S. Sachdev, Phys. Rev. B 82, 075128 (2010)]; our results show that this symmetry has consequences even when the spin correlations are short ranged and incommensurate.Physic

Planification automatique pour personnes atteintes d'un déficit cognitif

Il existe un vaste éventail de conditions pouvant induire une déficience cognitive chez un individu. On peut entre autres penser à la schizophrénie, la maladie d'Alzheimer, la déficience intellectuelle, les traumatismes crâniens ou les accidents cérébro-vasculaires. Chacune de ces conditions afflige l'individu d'une déficience cognitive présentant des caractéristiques différentes, mais qui provoque souvent une certaine perte d'autonomie découlant de difficultés de planification. Il est fort possible que l'individu éprouve des difficultés à planifier correctement des activités de la vie quotidienne telles que la préparation des repas, les activités d'hygiène ou même des activités de loisirs, qui peuvent être tout aussi importantes pour le processus de réadaptation. Un individu dans cet état requiert une forme d'assistance pour lui permettre de conserver une certaine autonomie. Une solution souvent appliquée à cette problématique est d'assigner un clinicien professionnel à un individu atteint d'une déficience cognitive. Le clinicien assiste l'individu en planifiant les activités pour lesquelles ce dernier éprouve des difficultés, puis en lui fournissant un horaire qu'il peut alors suivre pour accomplir ses activités, sans avoir eu à les planifier lui-même. Cette solution permet à l'individu de rester relativement autonome. La tâche du clinicien est cependant difficile, car un clinicien est généralement affecté à un grand nombre d'individus, chacun souffrant de troubles cognitifs nécessitant des considérations particulières au niveau de la planification des activités. Une orthèse cognitive nommée MOBUS a été développée au laboratoire DOMUS dans le cadre de projets connexes destinés à ce type de problématique. Cette orthèse fournit entre autres des services qui permettent d'assurer la communication entre le clinicien et son patient. Le clinicien dispose donc d'outils lui permettant de transmettre des horaires à son patient et de valider leur bonne exécution; cependant dans son état actuel, MOBUS n'offre aucun service au clinicien lui permettant de faciliter le processus de planification en tant que tel. Le clinicien doit donc générer manuellement des horaires pour tous ses patients, une tâche ardue et répétitive nécessitant un temps considérable dont le clinicien pourrait disposer pour fournir d'autres types d'assistance à ses patients ou en prendre de nouveaux en charge. Des recherches ont été effectuées dans le but de fournir des services au clinicien afin d'alléger sa tâche au niveau de la planification. Ce mémoire présente la démarche et les résultats de ces recherches, soit l'analyse de la problématique du clinicien, le développement d'un outil de planification automatique destiné à soutenir le clinicien, son intégration à l'orthèse cognitive MOBUS et finalement les résultats de certaines expérimentations de planification de cas cliniques typiques.
