TERRITORIAL INTEGRATION AND MARINAS IN SARDINIA

Abstract Nautical tourism, considered one of the elect expressions of Italy's offer in the field of tourism, assumes new strategic importance in Sardinia's economic and social framework in the light of the fallout it generates in terms of development and the multifaceted composition of the demand which today characterizes the sector. Such considerations are confirmed by the incidence of the fleet of pleasure craft compared to the resident population, although paradoxically the important marinas are present in areas that are marginal in the panorama of the region's holiday industry. This fact emphasizes the lack of correspondence between an important number of infrastructures - Sardinia is the second Italian region for port infrastructures and berths – and effective territorial integration between nautical installations and inland holiday resort structures. This is to say that it is still quite difficult to interpret the territorial effects of marinas on accommodation facilities.

STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE ADJUSTMENT PROCESS OF THE CITY MASTERPLAN TO THE SARDINIAN REGIONAL LANDSCAPE PLAN: THE CASE OF CITY MASTERPLAN OF ALGHERO, SARDINIA (ITALY)

ABSTRACT Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in the context of the enactment of the Directive 2001/42/CE is at the core of the adjustment process of provincial and city Masterplan to the Sardinian Regional Landscape Plan (RLP). SEA is a fundamental instrument for the environmental integration during the elaboration and adoption of plans; SEA offers an opportunity to bring about a real change of attitude and culture at strategic levels into strategic decision-making process. In this context, this paper adopted a critical observation relating to the Sardinian landscape planning, in particular trough the analysed of the adjustment process of city Masterplan of Alghero to the Sardinian RLP. The critical aspects which emerged in the adjustment phases are to be considered in a scenario which is common among those territorial and normative contexts to which the Directive should be applied. In particular the situation which is represented in the case study intends to highlight the urgent need for a Sardinian planning legislation reform. This would positively influence the final evaluation of the effects of the plan on the landscape; in particular, this would make up for the flaws in the outdated traditional approaches, based on the dualism between urban and landscape development planning. This would also unify the phases of management of territory, thus mitigating the contrasts inherent in the enactment process, currently under way. Keywords: Territorial Planning, Urban Planning, Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

An Evaluation of Heat Exchangers Using System Information and PEC

This report describes analyses aimed at integrating component optimization and system design by developing heat-exchanger performance evaluation criteria (PEC) that account for the system-level performance impacts of heat exchanger design. It builds on earlier studies that used relatively simple PEC to capture some of the component-level tradeoffs, but which usually ignore the system impact of component design. This report evaluates four PEC-j/f, heat transfer/pumping power (8), heat transfer/(pumping + compressor power) (n), and system COP. It is shown that j/f and 8 are better used as comparison criteria for existing heat exchangers of equal heat duty rather than as design criteria. The other two PEC, n and COP, include the system effect of compressor efficiency and therefore can be used more effectively in heat exchanger and system design. Through a combination of PEC and system optimization techniques, a method is developed to evaluate and design heat exchangers for maximum system performance.Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Project 9

The Role of Banks in the Kosovo Economy

Banks play an important role in a country's financial system and economy. As a key component of the financial system, banks transfer funds from savers to borrowers in an efficient manner, thus mediating the financial system. They offer specialized financial services that reduce the cost of obtaining both savings and loan information. With these crucial financial services, banks help to make the economy efficient. If banks did not exist, the economic growth of any country would not be as it is now. This paper aims to present the role of banks in the Kosovo economy and it is fair to say that the Kosovo economy has been greatly assisted by banking activity as businesses grow and consumption increases. From all that has been said so far, it can be concluded that imagining a bankless economy is very difficult and scary because it is precisely what all economic agents rely on

the school route from a child's perspective : a study of children's movement through their Local environment

Att barn har tillgång till en trygg och säker skolväg är grundläggande för barns rörelsefrihet. En bra skolväg har potentialen att öka barns fysiska aktivitet och självständiga rörelse. Att barns perspektiv lyfts och studeras är en del av arbetet för barns demokratiska rättigheter och beskrivs i FN:s Convention on the Rights of the Child. Dessvärre har barns förutsättningar att röra sig fritt i det offentliga rummet har minskat kontinuerligt under årtionden. Rörelsefriheten är essentiell för barns fysiska aktivitetsnivå och för att barn ska kunna leva hälsosamma och aktiva liv. I detta arbete undersöks vad barnen upplever som hinder för sin rörelsefrihet, med skolvägen som utgångspunkt. Arbetet grundas på empirin från ett antal semistrukturerade, kvalitativa intervjuer med barn från tre olika studieplatser. Studieplatserna utgörs av tre skolor: Semiurbana skolan, Byskolan och Naturnära skolan som representerar tre typer av bebyggelse-kontexter. Intervjuerna i detta arbete visar att flera barns rörelsefrihet begränsas av någon typ av fysisk barriär. Barnen som intervjuades beskrev att de påverkas negativt av biltrafik och till viss del även buss- och cykeltrafik både i fråga om säkerhet och den generella upplevelsen av deras skolväg. Under intervjuerna uttryckte barnen negativa känslor till komplexa trafiksituationer. I allmänhet hade barnen svårare att formulera sig i trafiktäta miljöer och lättare att formulera sig i lugnare miljöer. Även sociala faktorer påverkar barnens trygghet och trivsel på skolvägen. Alla barn beskrev platser i sin närmiljö som de gillar att vara på och de flesta barn kunde ta sig dit på egen hand. Många barn uttryckte också att de gillar att gå och cykla till skolan eftersom de får tid att prata med kompisar, lyssna på musik eller njuta av väder eller natur. För barnen från Byskolan och Naturnära skolan upptar djur och natur en stor del av barnens beskrivningar om både skolvägen och platser de vistas på, men nämns inte av barnen från Semiurbana skolan. Barnen beskrev ofta sin upplevelse av skolvägen utifrån känslor som uppkommit vid specifika händelser och kunde, genom att beskriva dessa händelser, identifiera problem och hinder i den fysiska miljön. Även om alla 13 barn i studien bär på sin egen uppfattning om hur en bra skolväg ser ut, identifierade barnen ofta samma typer av problem i den fysiska miljön. Så här beskrev barnen en bra skolväg: • Barnen föredrar en väl belyst skolväg eftersom mörkret kan orsaka otrygghet. • Skolvägen ska ha slätt underlag eftersom det gör det skönare och enklare att cykla. • Bilar och/eller cyklar ska inte korsa gång- och cykelbana. • Skolvägen ska utgöras av tydligt uppdelade ytor för fotgängare, cyklister och bilister. • Skolvägen ska ge bra överblick över bilvägar/cykelbanor för att barnen ska se trafiken och för att trafikanter ska se dem. • Komplexa trafiksituationer ska undvikas.The access to a safe and secure school route is essential for children's freedom of movement. A good school route has the potential to increase children's physical activity as well as their independent movement. Highlighting and studying children's perspectives is part of the work for children's democratic rights and is described in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children's opportunities to move freely in public spaces have been steadily declining for decades. Freedom of movement is essential for children's physical activity levels and for them to lead healthy and active lives. This paper examines what children experience as impeding of their independent mobility, using the school route as a starting point. The work is based on the empirical findings of a number of semi-structured, qualitative interviews with children from three different cases. The cases consist of three schools: the Semi Urban School, the Village School and the Nature adjacent School, and they represent three types of residential areas. The interviews show that several of the children's independent mobility is limited by some sort of physical barrier. The children described having a generally negative experience of their school route, as well as partly feeling unsafe. Some social factors influence children's safety and well-being on their school route as well. During the interviews, children expressed negative feelings towards complex traffic situations. In general, children found it more difficult to articulate themselves around heavy traffic and easier to articulate themselves in calmer environments. Fortunately, all children described places in their immediate environment that they liked, and most children were able to get there on their own. Many children also expressed that they like walking and cycling to school because they have time to talk to friends, listen to music or go for a walk in the woods. For the children from the Village School and the Nature adjacent School, animals and nature was a large part of the children's descriptions of both the school route and their favourite places however are not mentioned at all by the children from the Semi urban School. The children often described their opinions regarding the school route based on feelings arising from specific events and, by describing these events, they were able to identify problems and obstacles in the physical environment. Although all 13 children had their own perception of what a good school road looks like, the children often identified the same types of problems in the physical environment. In conclusion, this is how the children interviewed in this essay describes a good school route: • They prefer a well-lit school route because darkness causes insecurity. • The school road should have a smooth surface because it makes it more comfortable and easier to cycle. • Cars and/or bicycles should not cross the pedestrian and bicycle path • Clearly divided spaces for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. • The school route should provide a good overview of the car/cycle paths so that children can see the traffic and road users can see them. • The school route should not contain complex traffic situations since it causes stress

Edukacja i technologie – między nowymi zagrożeniami a nowymi możliwościami

The web represents a unique opportunity for all of us in terms of knowledge, but this sharing process of culture and knowledge must not become an instrument of spreading disinformation or critical behaviors that could become deviances. Social media are the place of democratization of the private, self-presentation, self-narration, and mass self-communication, where the projection that each one wants to give of himself to others is realized, and also the place par excellence where others through their satisfaction redefine us. It is a sort of mass display that can lead to dangerous deviations, an example of all the challenges. The latest evidence collected during the online survey: “My life in the time of Covid-19”, conducted on a sample of 1,858 Italian adolescents in the period from April to May 2020, broadly confirm the above thesis. The time of use of technologies now occupies an important part of their daily life, over 5 hours for 49% of respondents, even at the expense of other activities such as sports. Young people tend to isolate themselves from the family environment. Over 60% of them said that they experience moments of fear and miss their friends very much. It has also been noted that fake profiles are proliferating even among adolescents, demonstrating how in the liquid-modern era deception has become central in the processes of understanding reality, and the distinction between true and false is no longer perceived.Sieć stanowi dla wszystkich wyjątkową szansę pod względem zdobywania wiedzy, ale proces dzielenia się kulturą i wiedzą nie może stać się narzędziem szerzenia dezinformacji lub przejawiania krytycznych zachowań, które mogłyby stać się dewiacjami. Media społecznościowe są miejscem demokratyzacji tego, co prywatne, autoprezentacji, autonarracji, masowej autokomunikacji, gdzie realizowana jest projekcja, którą każdy chce przekazać innym. Są również miejscem par excellence, w którym inni poprzez swoją satysfakcję nas redefiniują. Stanowią rodzaj masowej ekspozycji, która może prowadzić do wielu niebezpieczeństw, a także są przykładem mnogości wyzwań. Najnowsze doniesienia, zebrane podczas badań realizowanych ankietą internetową „Moje życie w czasach Covid-19”, przeprowadzonych na próbie 1858 włoskich nastolatków w okresie od kwietnia do maja 2020 r., szeroko potwierdzają powyższą tezę. Czas korzystania z technologii zajmuje obecnie istotną część ich codziennego życia (ponad 5 godzin w przypadku 49% respondentów), nawet kosztem innych aktywności, takich jak sport. Młodzi ludzie wykazują tendencję do izolowania się od środowiska rodzinnego. Ponad 60% badanych stwierdziło, że przeżywają chwile lęku i bardzo tęsknią za przyjaciółmi. Zauważono też, że fałszywe profile mnożą się nawet wśród nastolatków, co pokazuje, jak w epoce płynnej nowoczesności oszustwo stało się centralnym elementem procesów rozumienia rzeczywistości, a rozróżnienie między prawdą a fałszem przestało być dostrzegane
