In the context of an increased attention to issues participation, legitimacy, transparency and accountability in field environmental politics policy, collaborative governance arrangements have been promoted rearticulate interactions between experts, policy-makers citizens. This article discusses relationship democratization expertise by focusing on two influential frameworks developed Science Technology Studies: framework post-normal science, as elaborated Funtowicz Ravetz, notion...
An investigation of the copolymerization cyclohexene sulfide and carbon disulfide using salphen salen Cr complexes as catalysts [PPN]+X– salts cocatalysts, at different temperatures reaction times, is reported. Both catalytic systems produce both polymer cyclic products. For first time, poly(trithiocyclohexylcarbonates) (PCS) have been synthetized in high yields molecular weights. Salphen-based catalysts, comparison with salen-based ones, show higher productivity selectivity for polymers...
In this paper, we perform a preliminary analysis of the technologies, firms and industries that may be affected by possible futures metaverse, attempting to derive some hypotheses on spatial effects process. We distinguish between two evolutive scenarios – 'metaverse shaped reality view' shaping factors affecting them, deriving implications for public policy planning. The first scenario presents relatively traditional core challenges: ensuring homogeneous availability network infrastructures...
This paper develops debates about reflexivity and its role in adaptive management collaborative research through recounting the case of an action project aiming to support water utilities adapting climate change. The sought produce 'usable' knowledge adaptation interpretive social scientists working closely with utility practitioners operating within a positivist context. Developing work Stirling, Voß Kemp, identifies four challenges arising from this collaboration. We have named these...
Italian water services reform, started in 1994, has been surrounded by a lively debate on management models; however, the story of reform is difficult to understand if only those models chosen local public agencies are considered. This paper provides general picture analyzes decision-making process and presents map outcomes. The analysis considers course action taken actors involved from 1994 2008, summarizes events into three rounds. modes governance focused relationship between authorities...
This paper discusses the need for a strategic rethinking of policies that promote 5G development and deployment in Europe, as they are crucial determining future impact later also 6G on digital economy. Considering current state insights have emerged from debate technological leadership, we discuss more effective proactive policy European Union this field. The main suggestion is to develop an industrial contrasts fragmentation telecommunications sector by taking whole scale action, instead...
Vitality Forms (VFs) constitute the dynamic essence of human actions, providing insights into how individuals engage in activities. The ability to perceive and express VFs during interpersonal interactions is pivotal for understanding others' intentions, behaviors, fostering effective social communication. Despite their ubiquity all research exploring role neurodivergent conditions related communicative skills, particularly autism, remains limited. This study aims investigate expression...
Abstract Organosulfur polymers prepared via the inverse vulcanization of elemental sulfur with olefinic comonomers represent a new class high‐chalcogenide content organic/inorganic macromolecules. Extensive reporting on synthetic advances and materials derived from process have been explored in past decade. However, detailed structural analysis these copolymers not rigorously conducted, due to poor solubility many materials, coupled numerous side‐reactions that result complex microstructures...
Abstract Since the 1980s, research on privatisation of local services has analysed factors affecting government's delivery choices; but this not given unanimous results, for reasons connected both to different methodologies adopted and dynamic nature processes. This article introduces case Italian water reform, drawing attention economic political dynamics that make an extremely complex choice, in which preferences politicians have be balanced with industrial heritage strategies utilities....
The article discusses an emerging area of sociology that has come to be called “Digital Sociology” starting from the experience a research project provided group social scientists with opportunity experiment wide range digital technologies, devices, and platforms for academic work. A literature review recent contributions is put into dialog empirical materials collected during project, leading identification tentative agenda contribute development this inquiry.
This paper conducts a comparative analysis of patents in the most relevant fields specialisation related to 5G and semiconductors. It builds on by Parcu et al (2022), which provided such an solely context 5G. For semiconductors, we observe slight increase technological class diversity during period under examination (2010-2020), suggests incremental innovation within mature technology. The data also indicates that semiconductors remains predominantly national, with limited international...
La gestion des services de l’eau a progressivement suscite l’interet citoyens et mouvements sociaux italiens, partir du declenchement d’une ambitieuse reforme sectorielle en 1994. Divers acteurs instances sociales politiques se sont rencontres autour cet enjeu, articulant leur lutte langage transversal – de plus populaire – « biens communs ». En vertu son originalite termes pluralite d’acteurs, variete repertoires d’action duree,...
Abstract Research on a topic as intricate climate change and adaptation can be seen complex ecosystem combining thousands of projects by large set actors. This article studies the EU Seventh Framework Program funded to understand how research has been managed in Europe develop specific knowledge around adaptation. The theoretical background offers an overview topics ecosystems. database was used construct make sense ecosystem. A synthetic description technical work conducted results obtained...
