Foresight as a strategic technological forecasting tool in digital transformation
Authors: Lapidus L. V. , Draganyuk A. O. , Mzokov A. R.
Published: July 2023

Aim. To identify the most effective foresight methods for technological forecasting of digital transformation and development of Russian corporations.

Tasks. Analysis of methodological foundations of foresight, its essence, goal setting, and specifics of its practical application; identification of factors for foreign consulting companies to apply foresight methods; review of Russian practice of corporate foresight application by RZD, Gazprom and Rosatom; identification and demonstration of the most effective foresight methods for domestic companies.

Methods. The authors used general logical and special research methods, system and structuralfunctional approaches. The study is based on scientific papers published in Russian and foreign periodicals, publications in leading Russian periodicals, normative-legal documents, as well as data from the Bank of Russia, international consulting companies, etc.

Results. The article is devoted to the prospects and possibilities of using foresight methods for forecasting and strategic planning in Russian companies. The most effective foresight methods that can be used to develop strategies for the digital transformation of domestic companies were identified.

Conclusions. The complexity of technological forecasting is also due to the high degree of uncertainty in the digital economy environment, which is confirmed by the authors’ research in the context of analyzing the data of numerous forecasts of analytical and consulting companies. Significant differences in the methodology of calculating the indicator can be seen in the example of estimates of the size of the global Internet of Things market, which shows a significant scattering of analysts’ opinions, from $300.3 billion to $1,186.2 billion in 2021 (from $75.28 billion to $740.47 billion in 2020). Corporate foresight serves as a strategic technology foresight tool in a highly uncertain digital environment, unreliable forecasts of Industry 4.0 technology market development and other socio-economic processes, which are of primary importance in developing strategies for digital transformation.
Transformation of the employment sphere in the conditions of “green transition”
Authors: Tsygankova I. V. , Reznikova O. S.
Published: July 2023

Aim. To investigate the forms of non-standard employment that have a positive impact on the ecology, the environment and contribute to the formation of a “green” economy, as well as the criteria for selecting “green” jobs.

Tasks. To identify and characterize forms of non-standard employment that have a positive impact on the ecology and the environment; to assess the main directions of their positive and negative impact on the environment, as well as on the social sphere and quality of life of workers; to develop assessment criteria for “green” jobs; to offer a set of recommendations necessary for the successful transformation of the labor market towards the “green” economy.

Methods. The authors used system and comparative analysis, analysis of statistical indicators, sociological methods (questioning).

Results. The transformation of the employment sphere under the influence of the development of green economy is manifested in the creation of “green” jobs and the development of nonstandard forms of employment (freelancing, distance employment, virtual employment), which have a positive impact on the environment. This changes the social status and quality of life of workers. These changes can be not only positive (increased employment opportunities for socially vulnerable groups, lower unemployment in depressed regions of the country; lower risks of injuries due to traffic accidents; the possibility of attracting workers with the required competencies to labor-deficient regions; the opportunity to choose more interesting and wellpaid work), but also negative (the need to form digital competencies for successful employment; risk of social isolation; o Positive influence prevails. According to sociological research, the number of workers who work in non-standard employment forms that contribute to the “green” transition is increasing. At the same time in Russia the number of remote workers, freelancers and virtual workers, as well as the number of “green” jobs is not taken into account on a national scale.

Conclusions. The lack of statistical information on the number of “green” jobs and the number of workers who work in forms of employment that contribute to the “green transition” significantly complicates the possibilities of labor market regulation and the development of measures to support socially vulnerable groups of workers, as well as organizations that create “green” jobs. In order to successfully transform the labor market towards a green transition, it is necessary to keep statistical records of green jobs based on selected criteria; to develop green job evaluation indicators to assess the impact on the environment, the economy of the organization and the country as a whole, the health and the working capacity of citizens who work in such jobs; to annually analyze the status of green jobs and jobs to be transformed into green jobs in individual organizations and sectors of the eco-industry.
Forecasting of financial risks of decline in profit and profitability of companies in the retail industry on the basis of correlation and regression analysis of macroeconomic factors
Authors: Kunin V. A. , Peshko S. I.
Published: July 2023

Aim. Development and realization of the innovative approach to forecasting of financial risks of profit and profitability decrease of retail industry companies on the basis of correlation and regression analysis of macroeconomic factors.

Tasks. To identify and substantiate the macroeconomic risk factors of decrease in the retail trade turnover of the Russian companies of the retail industry; to develop a methodology of construction and build regression dependence of the total turnover of the companies of the retail trade industry in the Russian Federation (RF) on the macroeconomic factors; to define parameters of the analytical dependence of the retail trade turnover of the leading Russian retailers on the macroeconomic factors; to reveal and argue the position concerning the restrictions of application of correlation and regression analysis.

Methods. The authors applied a systematic approach, providing a comprehensive study of the impact of macroeconomic factors on financial risks of profit and profitability reduction, as well as the correlation and regression analysis, methods of mathematical statistics and econometrics.

Results. The methodology of estimation and forecasting of financial risks of profit and profitability decrease of the retail industry companies under the influence of external macroeconomic risk factors based on the use of the regression dependence of the retail industry companies turnover on the selected and grounded macroeconomic factors built in the present article is offered.

Conclusions. The methodology of building regression dependences of retail turnover on external macroeconomic factors and the methodology of assessing the impact of these factors on the financial risks of reduced profit and profitability indicators proposed in the study are a methodological basis for forecasting changes in the results and efficiency of economic activities of companies in the retail industry and developing preventive measures aimed at reducing the financial risks of such companies. The quantitative assessments of the impact of macroeconomic factors on the retail turnover of leading Russian retailers obtained in the work allow to identify the most significant external macroeconomic risk factors for each of the companies and give a reasonable forecast of changes in retail turnover, profit and profitability indicators of these companies under the influence of macroeconomic factors.
ESG investing in hedge funds: analysis of the impact of ESG criteria on investment decisions
Authors: Zakharcheva K. S.
Published: July 2023

Aim. To analyze the impact of adherence to ESG practices on investment performance and financial performance in hedge funds.

Tasks. To study methods of ESG-criteria integration into hedge funds, their decision-making principles and influence of basic ESG-rating on the hedge funds performance; to analyze the dynamics of two selected hedge funds with different strategies on the basis of their assets and profitability levels; to formulate the recommendations for ESG-criteria use in the investment decision-making in hedge funds.

Methods. The author of the article used a mixed method of analysis, combining qualitative and quantitative data, to form the empirical base of the study. The method of content analysis and empirical methods were used to analyze qualitative data. In turn, quantitative data were processed by statistical and logical tools. In addition, the author used methods of comparison and analysis of data on the profitability of selected hedge funds.

Results. The funds BlackRock Sustainable Advantage World Equity Fund and BlackRock Systematic Global Long/Short Equity Fund, which have high and low ESG-rating respectively, were analyzed. The research showed that both funds are successful and perform well. However, the BlackRock Sustainable Advantage World Equity Fund has higher returns and performance. This can be attributed to the fact that this fund focuses on companies that perform well in sustainability and social responsibility. Moreover, the ESG fund has a high volume of assets and returns due to both sound investment policies and the development of government support for ESG companies, as well as external factors and the “low base effect.”

Conclusions. Despite the fact that ESG funds are not a categorical anti-crisis measure, comparative analysis of funds with different ESG ratings revealed that ESG funds may show more stable results due to their more diversified portfolio strategy and consideration of ESG factors. Having studied the trends and dynamics of these hedge funds over several years, the author has come to the conclusion that the use of ESG-principles can give an advantage to investment companies in the market with a high degree of volatility. Additionally, a number of limitations of the study are highlighted.

Authors: Pratama Bayu Putra
Published: July 2023

Aux. Engine generator is an auxiliary machinery or generator, which functions to generate electricity. The electricity is useful for shipboard purposes such as supplying electricity pumps, electrical equipment and other machinery that uses electrical energy on board the ship.

Researchers use qualitative descriptive methods, triangulation of observation results, interviews and literature studies. Using SHEL data analysis techniques, researchers identified the causal factors, impacts and efforts made related to the influence of Aux crankshaft reconditioning. Engine No.1 against the increase in L.O temperature.

The results obtained from this study showed that the cause of the increase in L.O temperature Aux. Engine No.1 is caused by the wear of the crankpin bearing, with the damage it will have an impact on the looseness of the crankpin bearing components with the crankshaft so that the L.O pressure decreases and the L.O lubrication   is not optimal.  Efforts made to prevent this are to wait for ship spare parts with standards in accordance with the manual book and crankpin size after reconditioning, as well as carry out routine system maintenance plans.
The territorialisation of the 2030 Agenda: a multilevel approach
Authors: Attanasio Raffaele , Calzaroni Manlio , Ciancio Alessandro , Olivieri Federico , Siciliano Giovanni
Published: July 2023

The United Nations 2030 Agenda increasingly represents a reference point for political planning, as demonstrated by the centrality of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the new cycle of EU policies. According to the European Committee of the Regions, 65% of the Agenda’s objectives will not be achieved without the involvement and coordination of subnational governments. It is therefore necessary for the territories to adapt their programmatic tools in order to make them coherent with European and national programming, through the definition of a methodology capable of conforming the tools of local programming with those defined at the higher territorial levels. The aim of this paper is to present the methodological framework defined by the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASviS), based on the numerous experiences with local administrations, to support the implementation of multilevel sustainable local development strategies which make territorial planning consistent with the national and the European programming. The basis for correct multilevel programming provides for a mapping of the local context with respect to the 17 SDGs also through the calculation of composite indices, capable not only of summarizing the degree of sustainability of the individual territories for each Goal, but also of comparing the performance between the different realities belonging to higher or lower levels. Based on these results, the public and private stakeholders are involved in identifying quantitative “outcome” objectives, needed to define the commitments of the territories and to monitor the impact of policies with respect to the achievement of the SDGs.
Spread of Covid-19 epidemic in Italy between March 2020 and February 2021: empirical evidence at provincial level
Authors: Antolini Fabrizio , Cesarini Samuele , Truglia Francesco Giovanni
Published: July 2023

Italy was one of the countries severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. An analysis of the factors that played a role in the spread of this epidemic is necessary. However, the assessment of which factors may be specific, and which may contribute the most is complex and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and analyse the statistical associations of the spread of Covid-19 infection with identified spatial context variables (density, old-age index, average temperature, and pollution). For this purpose, the developments from the spatial convergence theory were considered, as well as data from the Italian provinces from March 2020 to February 2021, referring to the first, second and third wave. The hypothesis tested in this study is to investigate the contribution of environmental and demographic factors to the convergence of observed infection rates. Based on panel data of 107 Italian provinces from the first to the third wave, this article uses a spatial autoregressive model (SAR) to analyse the conditional β-convergence of Covid-19 infection rates. The empirical results of this paper show that there is spatial conditional β-convergence in the intensity of infection rates. This means that the contagion in neighbouring areas will affect the contagion in the local area. The age structure and population density of the provinces had a certain promoting effect on the transmission of the infection, depending on the wave analysed. Regarding the observed average temperature, the effects are not very significant and inconsistent. For the first and last wave, the level of pollution is significant in explaining the convergence processes of the infection. We demonstrate that accounting for spatial factors is essential to capture key features of the spread of Covid-19 infection.
The Land Cover/Use Code of the new Istat Census cartography
Authors: Mugnoli Stefano , Sabbi Alberto , Lipizzi Fabio
Published: July 2023

ISTAT census layers, realized by ISTAT since 1991, are in update; this kind of digital cartography divides the entire national territory in very small enumeration areas to which are linked all the variables gathered during the census surveys. This layer, thanks to the several pieces of information related to each enumeration area, has a huge value for the statistical description of the Italian situation also regarding land cover and land use themes. Therefore, to further enrich the information assets of the ISTAT cartography, Environment and Territory Service of the Institute aims to produce an implementation of the enumeration areas layer to homogenise them with regard their land cover and land use. In addition, this is achieved through a specific code (Cod_TIPO_S) that can be related to the European frame LUCAS (Land Use and Cover Area Survey) legend. LUCAS survey represents the official frame for the dissemination of land cover and use statistics at continental level. For our purpose a specific transcoding table has been created between COD_TIPO_S and LUCAS legend. New enumeration areas layer provides for 47 legend entries In this brief paper both the work carried out and some provisional results for some of the major Italian urban areas are illustrated. The activities are in progress and are based on GIS algorithm and Python scripts.
On the use of auxiliary information in spatial sampling
Authors: Bocci Chiara , Rocco Emilia
Published: July 2023

Technology development has led to a growing availability of low-cost data ready-to-use, frequently derived from large scale observations (i.e. data from pervasive systems like GPS sensors, or remote sensing data from earth observation technologies). Oftentimes, these data can’t directly answer specific questions posed by researchers and data users, or even if they can they are subject to measurement errors or self-selection bias. In both cases it is still necessary to rely, at least partially, on ad-hoc probabilistic surveys. On the other hand, the precision and quality of surveys estimates can be improved by using the data derived from these new sources as auxiliary information in the design phase and/or in the estimation phase. We present a sequential sampling strategy, suitable to investigate a spatially-related phenomenon, which exploits the auxiliary information at design level in order to obtain efficient estimates when the relation between the auxiliary and study variables it is not completely known and/or is not univocally defined for the whole population under study. Using this strategy the final sample is obtained after two (or more) steps: (i) in the first step we collect an initial sample of observations on the target variable, which is used also to investigate the relation between the auxiliary and study variables; (ii) then, this relation is exploited to target and tailor the subsequent sampling step; (iii) additional steps can be included by applying the procedure iteratively. The performance of the suggested strategy is investigated through Monte Carlo experiments by considering several scenarios, which differ in the distributions of the auxiliary and study variables and in their relation.
Exploring Globalization with Cosmopolitics
Authors: Causo Maria Serena , Cerasti Erika , De Fausti Fabrizio , Scannapieco Monica
Published: July 2023

Cosmopolitics, an open-source dashboard designed by an Istat team to perform exploratory data analysis using Eurostat statistical open data on international trade, offers several tools for investigating globalization phenomena such as the dynamics of global value chains (GVC). The advantage of this widely spread economic organization is well known: companies obtain economic advantages by direct foreign investments or by production outsourcing, i.e. relocating some production phases to countries where high specialization or an advantageous labor market create greater opportunities. However, by its very nature, the GVC is highly sensitive to shock transmissions and supply chain disruptions associated with geopolitical events or epidemiological crises. The dashboard will be released as Istat experimental statistical product and available online. Through a Social Network Graph Analysis approach, it will offer students, researchers and policy makers the opportunity to explore the dynamics of global trade for specific products traded by different modes of transport. The tool allows users not only retracing recent critical phases affecting global trade, but also interactively simulating bilateral trade flows interruptions or closures of specific logistic poles or transport routes. This gives the opportunity to outline possible scenarios in which the GVC trade relationships reshape under shock transmissions, such as conflicts, changes in bilateral relationships between countries, logistics or transport new arrangements, reallocation of foreign investments, etc. By computing standard Social Network indicators (such as graph density, indegree, outdegree, and closeness centrality), the tool provides many quantitative measures associated with the specific global trade structures displayed. This paper will illustrate the methodology implemented in the dashboard and will provide examples on how to explore GVC scenarios by Cosmopolitics.
Internet use, feeling of unacceptance and Loneliness: immigrants of first and second generation in Italy
Authors: Busetta Giovanni , Campolo Maria Gabriella , Cava Antonia
Published: July 2023

Introduction
Internet has become an essential part of our everyday life and several goals can be achieved through it. While part of the literature on the topic found a positive correlation between loneliness and the use of the internet, other authors found a negative relationship between loneliness and internet use.
Objective
The aim of our analysis is to investigate the difference in the use of the Internet between immigrants of first- and second-generation in Italy.
Data & Methods
Using the Survey on Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens conducted by Istat in 2011-2012, we want to estimate, through a Probit estimation model, the impact of socio-economic characteristics on the regularity of using the Internet. The dependent variable is “Internauta” (Dummy: 1 if subject use internet every day; 0 otherwise). Among the explanatory variables, we included the perception of the subjects about their integration in the social framework and their feeling, such as loneliness, or the perception of unacceptance.
Results
Our results show that the probability of being an “Internauta” increases being male and living in the North or Centre of Italy. Moreover, both of the feelings (feels alone and not accepted) are negatively correlated to the probability of being an Internet user both for First- and Second-Generation immigrants. Second-generation immigrants are more likely to use the internet everyday than the First-generation ones (the difference in predicted probability is equal to 11%). This probability decreases to 0.59, if the second-generation immigrant feels unaccepted in the city where he/she lives, and to 0.71 if he/she fells alone. Conclusion We can conclude that new possibilities offered by “web sociability” or, in general, by the use of the Internet, is negatively correlated to the immigrants’ dissatisfaction that we identify with the perception of integration and sociability in the offline life (Loneliness and Unacceptance).

Published: July 2023

VET (Vocational Education and Training) Reforms and Labour Market reforms have started a process aimed at filling the gap between demand and supply of competences. The demand of competences, in fact, is affected by factors requiring the constant adjustment of production and training processes as well as the greater connection between education/training system and enterprises. Digital training, included in National Programmes of ERASMUS+, is essential in order to ensure effective training practices for the current VET system which is undergoing organizational and methodological change. In this context, Digital Teaching in VET System is an innovative approach to support the objectives set out in national and European strategies for applying ICT to VET systems through teachers/trainers training. The use of Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality technologies is an important strategy to innovate teaching and improve attention of students during the training session. iDid, application for immersive teaching, represent the deliverable of the project that allows VET teachers and trainers to produce contents of lessons using the potentialities of AR/VR/MR streams, and to share contents in a community oriented approach to transfer know-how and also obtain important user feedbacks.
Trust and security in Italy
Authors: Golia Silvia
Published: July 2023

Starting from 2018, the European University Institute’s European Governance and Politics Programme developed an international survey in order to monitor the development of Solidarity in Europe. The text of the survey changed across the four available waves, but there were sections remained unchanged over the years, that is the ones concerning security (how secure or insecure do you feel about each of the following areas?) and trust in national government and European Union (how much do you trust … to make things better in the following area?). The interesting thing in these three sections is that they are composed of the same 10 areas (items) on a 4 point Likert scale. The data are not longitudinal, given that the subjects changes at each time span, so the four waves can be considered together, and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) across time can be used as a tool to investigate, for each area, if and how the difficulty to feel secure or to trust significantly changes over time. This use of DIF analysis if far from its common use, which is connected with the assessment of the validity of a scale, given that it tests the invariance of an item with respect to the characteristics of the subjects (a typical example is the gender). The focus is on Italy. Moreover, applying the Rating Scale Model (RSM), which is a model belonging to the Rasch family of models, it is possible to study the evolution of the perceived security and owned trust, analysing the distance between the estimated mean of each latent trait and the mean item difficulty, which was set to zero. It is not possible to compare directly the different distributions over the years because the measures obtained from the RSM are on the logit scale, which is an interval scale.
The relationship between religiosity, religious coping, and anxieties about the future: a multidimensional analysis on the Evangelical churches of Naples
Authors: Grassia Maria Gabriella , Marino Marina , Mazza Rocco , Stavolo Agostino
Published: July 2023

The covid-19 pandemic have an impact on the social and personal lives of individuals, leading them to develop new forms of adaptation and response to crisis situations. From this perspective, religious coping theory highlights the possibility of coping with stressful situations in ways related to the sacred. The proposed work is part of the studies on Temporal Perspective (PT) in its relationship with religiosity, The aim of contribute is to investigate the relation between religiosity, the use of religion as a coping tool, anxiety for the times to come, and the prospect of the transcendental future in the period of the pandemic Covid-19. According to this, we administered a survey on sample of subjects of the Neapolitan Protestant Christian population of the Evangelical Churches of the Assemblies of God in Italy (A.D.I.). So, we carried out a multidimensional analysis to discover the relationships between the variables analyzed.
Repression of the future-oriented disposition of Italians by a never-ending pandemic
Authors: Di Zio Simone , Fabbris Luigi
Published: July 2023

Likely, the after-pandemic world won’t be as it used. To properly imagine and build our future, we should forget the progressive growth of past times and even the concept of “normality” of pre-pandemic years is going to change inasmuch as a new social concept is coming true ("surprise free" scenarios are no longer contemplated). The disposition of Italians towards their future was surveyed with three indicators: 1) the depression rate as measured with PHQ9, a standard psychological test for clinical depression measurement; 2) the pro-activeness orientation, as measured with an 8-item psychological test; and 3) the clearness rate of own future vision, as measured with a focused, dichotomous question. The indicators have been measured through a convenience sample on Italian adults during the second half of 2021. The analysis showed that the fear of contagion and the never-ending emergency due to Covid-19 pandemic caused such a psychological awkwardness to repress the disposition of Italians towards their possible futures. The repression was harder on youngsters, living alone persons, disrupted families, and people with psychic and/or depressive symptoms. A regressive model was furtherly fit on the collected sample. It showed multiple determinants of the future repression, say, that the fear of contagion was more relevant than the contagion itself and the uncertainty about the pandemic end was as disheartening as the contagion risk for the yearning hope of a positive after-pandemic lifestyle.
Educational mismatch and productivity: evidence from LEED data on Italian firms
Authors: Bisio Laura , Lucchese Matteo
Published: July 2023

This study aims at evaluating the impact of educational mismatch onto firm-level productivity for a large set of Italian firms. In particular, over (under)-education refers to situations where individual’s educational attainment is higher (lower) than the education required by the job, thereby producing a surplus (deficit) of education. Based on the integration of the LEED (Linked Employer Employee Database) Istat Statistical Register Asia Occupazione – which provides information on workers’ age, professional qualification and educational attainment – and the Istat Frame-SBS Register, we perform an analysis in the spirit of the ORU (Over, Required and Under Education) model proposed by Kampelmann e Rycx (2012). The dataset is based on a large panel of over 55,000 manufacturing and services firms with more than 20 employees, covering the 2014-2019 period. The empirical strategy is based on a two-step procedure: first, ORU indicators are computed at the worker-level; second, we estimate a firm-level productivity (value added per employee) function where the key variables of interest are the ORU indicators collapsed at the firm-level, taking into account both firm and workers characteristics. The productivity function is estimated by GMM-system by Arellano and Bond (1995) e Blundell and Bond (1988). Main results point out that over/under-education affects productivity growth in both manufacturing and services firms: firm’s productivity rises following a one unit increase in mean years of over-education – with spiking results for medium and high-tech manufacturing firms –, whereas a growth in under-education hampers productivity dynamics in high and medium-high tech manufacturing and knowledge-intensive services firms.
Gender INequality Indicator for Academia (GINIA)
Authors: Silan Margherita , Boccuzzo Giovanna
Published: July 2023

The main aim of this work consists on a methodological proposal to represent and measure gender inequality in academia, focusing on the University of Padua. In order to reach our goal, we ended up with two different and complementary tools: a system of indicators and a composite indicator, that we called Gender INequality Indicator for Academia (GINIA). Data used to build and compute GINIA in the University of Padua come both from administrative datasets and from an ad-hoc survey, whose data were adjusted by post-stratification weights. Starting from existing indexes described in the literature, the GINIA is articulated into seven domains: work, money, knowledge, time, power, health, and space. These seven domains are better specified and declined through twelve subdomains that are measured by seventeen variables. The composite indicator is the result of the three-step aggregation and weighting procedure: 1) variables are aggregated into subdomains with an arithmetic mean and equal weights; 2) subdomains are aggregated into domains by arithmetic mean with equal weights; 3) domains are aggregated into GINIA indicator by a weighted geometric mean. Indeed, we think that variables related to the same domain can compensate each other, while this consideration is not plausible for domains. Additionally, the weights in the last step are calculated through a preference matrix based on the responses of the respondents about the importance they give to each domain. The indicator can change substantially if we change the methods of weighting or aggregation. Therefore, an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis was undertaken to assess the robustness of the composite indicator as the final step of the analysis with the computation of bootstrap confidence intervals.
Presentazione - Una costellazione di saperi per l’autogoverno e la cura dei luoghi come beni comuni

Published: July 2023

To become more than a mere intellectual construction, eco-territorialism requires that each science involved looks critically at its own disciplinary boundaries and explores border zones rich of fruitful contaminations, playing an aware and open part in a sort of choral music score. In this brief presentation, the editors describe the argumentative structure of the book and point out key concepts necessary in order to build a real alternative to ecological crisis and deterritorialisation.
L’agro-ecologia come supporto fondativo dell’eco-territorialismo
Authors: Bocchi Stefano
Published: July 2023

Agroecology stems from the intelligence of territories; it is a contextualised process of active and participatory cultural, scientific, technological and social elaboration. It can provide a founding humus for eco-territorialism in very tangible terms: identifying alternatives to the current agri-food system, triggering strong change dynamics for ecosystem care, consolidating sustainable practices at different scales, from the cultivated field to the organic district – actions necessary to address the current climate, socio-economic, ecological, global health emergencies; as well as affirming ethical principles of individual and social responsibility, concerning the ways of relating to, respecting and caring for both the weak segments of human population, and the natural resources water, land, air, biodiversity. Agroecological approach, strongly systemic, can therefore contribute to the elaboration of sustainability policies aimed at regenerating of territories and landscapes.
Declinare la bioregione nei contesti urbani. Quartieri, reti di mutualismo e poli civici
Authors: Cellamare Carlo
Published: July 2023

The currently prevailing development model and its effects in terms of settlement organization have negative implications especially in metropolitan contexts, where the effects of large agglomerations, speculative dynamics and neoliberal exploitation are stronger. The idea of urban bioregion tries to build an alternative to the dominant, heteronomous model of settlement organization aiming at ‘reterritorializing’ the ecological question within the processes of production of space with an integrated and multidimensional approach, careful to enhance the capacities and possibilities of local self-government. It therefore also calls into question a rethinking of the forms of politics. The essay illustrates possible paths in this direction, starting from suburban neighbourhoods and put in place through mutualism networks and civic hubs, describing a few experimentations in the Roman area.
Le comunità energetiche per l’autoriproduzione della bioregione
Authors: Bolognesi Monica
Published: July 2023

The essay outlines the features of an eco-territorialist and patrimonial approach to energy transition, a process that is not taking place with the necessary urgency nor with the desirable consistency with respect to the principles of ecologic-environmental and landscape sustainability. Energy resources, one of the founding components of the urban bioregion, are available in every territory with specific peculiarities; rethinking the energy system in a non-predatory perspective means protecting the reproducibility of such resources and establishing virtuous dynamics creating territorial value added. Energy communities can represent effective tools for the enhancement of local energy heritages still not properly employed, towards a horizon of progressive energy sovereignty of territories.

Pestisida merupakan bahan yang banyak digunakan dalam meningkatkan produksi pertanian, selain itu termasuk bahan yang beracun dan berbahaya. Pestisida masuk kedalam tubuh melalui beberapa cara yaitu saluran percernaan (ingesti), saluran pernapasan (respirasi) dan kulit (absorpsi). Akibat yang ditimbulkan jika terakumulasi dalam jangka panjang dapat menyebabkan sirosis organ hati akibatnya terjadi peningkatan SGOT dan SGPT didalam darah. Ada pun beberapa faktor risiko gangguan fungsi hati yang dialami oleh petani pengguna pestisida yaitu umur, masa kerja, lama kerja, alat pelindung diri (APD), dan posisi petani terhadap arah angin. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui analisis pengaruh penggunaan pestisida terhadap kadar SGOT dan SGPT pada petani. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah asosiatif kausal dengan menggunakan data primer. Teknik penentuan sampel menggunakan perposive sampling dan jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 37 sampel. Uji korelasi pada penelitian ini menggunakan uji korelasi Chi-Square. Hasil analisis menunjukkan p-value = > 0,05 yang berarti tidak terdapat hubungan antara karakteristik petani yang menggunakan pestisida seperti umur, masa kerja, penggunaan APD, dan posisi petani terhadap arah angin dengan kadar SGOT dan SGPT.

Perubahan komposisi urin dapat terjadi pada urin yang dibiarkan pada suhu ruang selama lebih dari 2 jam, tanpa diberi pengawet. Urin yang diterima di laboratorium seringkali tidak dapat langsung diperiksa karena jumlah sampel belum sebanding dengan fasilitas laboratorium atau karenapenampungan urin dilakukan di rumah pasien atau praktik dokter. Sehingga urin seringkali mengalami penundaan waktu pemeriksaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh waktu penundaan pada pemeriksaan kimia urin metode carik celup yang disimpan pada suhu 2-8oC selama 1 jam, 2 jam dan 3 jam. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian quasi eksperimen. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 50 responden yang ditentukan secara Quota sampling yang kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan kimia urin segera, penundaan 1 jam, 2 jam, dan 3 jam pada suhu penyimpanan 2-8oC. Analisa data menggunakan uji Kruskal wallis. Hasil penelitian didapatkan ada pengaruh waktu penundaan pada pemeriksaan kimia urin metode carik celup terhadap hasil pemeriksaan leukosit dengan nilai taraf signifikan sebesar 0,001 yang berati (p<0,05) dan tidak ada pengaruh terhadap hasil pemeriksaan nitrit, urobilinogen, protein, pH, blood, berat jenis, keton, bilirubin dan glukosa.

Deformasi vertikal bendungan merupakan salah satu parameter yang penting untuk dievaluasi baik pada periode konstruksi maupun paska konstruksi. Perilaku deformasi abnormal dapat mengakibatkan berbagai permasalahan yang mengancam keamanan bendungan. Evaluasi menjadi sangat penting untuk dilakukan terutama pada Bendungan Sermo yang telah mengalami pembebanan selama lebih dari 25 tahun sehingga dapat diketahui perilakunya. Identifikasi perilaku normal atau abnormal dilakukan dengan cara mengevaluasi hasil analisis deformasi vertikal berdasarkan data pembacaan instrumentasi terhadap kriteria penerimaan. Pada periode konstruksi, korelasi vertical strain terhadap depth below crest menghasilkan perilaku abnormal. Namun, evaluasi terhadap settlement yang terjadi menghasilkan perilaku normal. Pada periode paska konstruksi, evaluasi dengan kriteria Sherard (1965) dan ICOLD (1993) menghasikan kondisi abnormal pada elevasi tertentu. Namun, evaluasi berdasarkan settlement index serta kriteria penerimaan Sowers (1965) dan Hunter dan Fell (2003) menghasilkan kondisi normal.

Proyek didefinisikan sebagai runtutan tugas yang harus diselesaikan untuk mencapai suatu hasil tertentu. Menurut Project Management Institute (PMI), istilah Proyek mengacu pada "setiap usaha dengan awal dan akhir yang pasti", meliputi berbagai macam industri, termasuk proyek konstruksi. Manajer proyek pada suatu proyek memiliki pengaruh terhadap kinerja pada pelaksanaan suatu proyek. Dengan demikian jenis kepimimpinan pada seorang manajer proyek juga akan berdampak terhadap kesuksesan proyek konstruksi. Lalu kepuasan kerja pada tim proyek merupakan perasaan/pendapat tim proyek akan pekerjaan mereka. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisa untuk mengukur pengaruh gaya kepemimpinan servant pada manajer proyek serta kepuasan kerja tim proyek, terhadap keberhasilan proyek dalam hal kinerja jadwal, kinerja biaya, kinerja kualitas, dan kepuasan pemangku kepentingan, terutama pada proyek-proyek konstuksi di Indonesia. Penlitian dilakukan dengan melakukan survey kuantitatif terhadap profesional proyek umum maupun proyek konstruksi di Indonesia dan kemudian hasil survey akan diolah dengan metode Structural Equation Modelling.
