National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Italy
Creators: name: Ales, Edoardo
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal

description: In this chapter we examine how Italy has stimulated EU action in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and how it has benefited from the NextGenerationEU plan as one of the countries most affected by the pandemic. We show how the adoption of the national Recovery and Resilience Plan has impacted the still troubled political landscape, but also how the Italian institutions have managed to allocate funding efficiently by providing, among other things, unprecedented financial and structural support for social and labour market policies. We also highlight the uncertainty caused by the forthcoming elections.

description: Because of physical processes ranging from microscopic particle collisions to macroscopic hydrodynamic fluctuations, any plasma in thermal equilibrium emits gravitational waves. For the largest wavelengths the emission rate is proportional to the shear viscosity of the plasma. In the Standard Model at T > 160 GeV, the shear viscosity is dominated by the most weakly interacting particles, right-handed leptons, and is relatively large. We estimate the order of magnitude of the corresponding spectrum of gravitational waves. Even though at small frequencies (corresponding to the sub-Hz range relevant for planned observatories such as eLISA) this background is tiny compared with that from non-equilibrium sources, the total energy carried by the high-frequency part of the spectrum is non-negligible if the production continues for a long time. We suggest that this may constrain (weakly) the highest temperature of the radiation epoch. Observing the high-frequency part directly sets a very ambitious goal for future generations of GHz-range detectors.

description: Many difficulties can arise during the implementation of a metadata standard. One reason may be the lack of prior examination of existing standards. These sometimes painful experiences led to the need for a catalogue of criteria to be used in infrastructure projects to assess suitability to the requirements. Against the National Education Infrastructure background, the paper presents an initial approach. For this purpose, criteria are developed, whose application enables a well-founded pre-selection of standards. These are discussed and tested exemplary in three use cases - educational offerings, educational resources, and digital credentials. An overview of current developments in the area accompanies this. Overall, the paper aims to provide a basis for further discussions on the selection and handling of standards in educational infrastructures. However, so far there is little literature on this highly relevant topic. Therefore, a discussion process in the community should be stimulated as a supplement.

description: COVID-19 accelerated the shift to online and hybrid instruction. While the literature shows that online courses can often perform as well as in-person classes, it is difficult to establish social presence, an important predictor of learning outcomes, at a distance. In this paper, we present exploratory observations of online, hybrid, and in-person environments of three courses at a Swiss university from 2021 to 2022. We were interested in our students’ perceptions of social presence in and between courses. The results show significant differences in course ratings and suggest carry-over effects between different course modalities, such that students who attend a course in person systematically rate online courses lower than students who attend only online. These effects disappear when courses are delivered exclusively in person.

description: Austria’s recovery and resilience plan (RRP) was officially adopted by the Council on 13 July 2021. While its main focus lies on implementation of the so-called ‘green’ and ‘digital transitions’, the Austrian RRP also contains a number of reforms and investments that directly impact the labour market. The goal of this article is to explore these implications and put them in the context of the European Pillar of Social Rights and the annual country-specific recommendations issued by the European Commission.

description: Extended Reality (XR), comprising Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies have the potential to enhance urban planning with immersive and interactive experiences, but there learning cost hinders citizen participation. XR development requires technical knowledge, limiting individual engagement in urban planning. On the other hand, physical models offer tangible visualization for urban planning but lack features compared to software applications. Combining physical objects with XR technology poses challenges but holds the potential to promote citizen participation. This article introduces the concept of the city planner app, an application that integrates XR technology and physical objects in a mixed-reality setting. This app aims to leverage the strengths of both worlds and overcome their limitations to facilitate the involvement of citizens and students in urban planning.

description: We demonstrate that dynamical probes provide direct means of detecting the topological phase transition (TPT) between conventional and topological phases, which would otherwise be difficult to access because of loss or heating processes. We propose to avoid such heating by rapidly quenching in and out of the short-lived topological phase across the transition that supports gapless excitations. Following the quench, the distribution of excitations in the final conventional phase carries signatures of the TPT. We apply this strategy to study the TPT into a Majorana-carrying topological phase predicted in one-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases with attractive interactions. The resulting spin-resolved momentum distribution, computed by self-consistently solving the time-dependent Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations, exhibits Kibble-Zurek scaling and Stückelberg oscillations characteristic of the TPT. We discuss parameter regimes where the TPT is experimentally accessible.

description: Although still carrying substantial deficits from the 2008 housing crisis, Spain’s economy was experiencing a gradual recovery prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. This drastically changed with the health-care emergency, leaving Spain among the hardest hit Member States in the EU. The financial assistance provided by the EU in the context of the NextGenerationEU recovery plan represents a golden opportunity, not only to invest in the areas most affected by the pandemic, but perhaps more importantly, to target prevailing deficiencies in the Spanish economy and make it more resilient to future threats. This contribution studies the National Recovery and Resilience Plan presented by Spain to access the NGEU financial support. It focuses particularly on the social and labour reforms presented therein and puts these in the broader context of the EU governance and political framework. The contribution concludes with some final considerations.

description: Learning to fly an aeroplane is a challenging endeavour; mastering the radio, i.e. talking to air traffic control (ATC) is considered by many students as an especially daunting activity. Using the correct voice procedures and phraseology is paramount for a smooth and safe aircraft operation in busy airspaces. However, training new general aviation pilots in radiotelephony is still a largely manual activity, where students and teachers engage in role-play to mimic the different ends of communication. The design of an aeronautical chatbot, capable of simulating ATC would provide students with plenty of additional training opportunities that they can conduct on their own and at their own pace. A detailed analysis of the voice input would provide feedback on the learning process. This paper reports on the preliminary proof-of-feasibility prototype design as well as synthetic language model training data generation.

description: This paper analyzed the economic outcomes resulted from new farmer development program. In order to estimate national economic contribution of the program, polynomial distributed lag model was employed using total factor productivity(TFP) and program budget since starting-point of the program. The results of this study showed that new farmer development program had significantly increased agricultural TFP growth. The elasticity of agricultural TFP with respect to the program is 0.11, which was interpreted as an increase of 0.11% in TFP growth by an 1% increased in the program expenditure. The lagged impacts of the program on TFP began at the sixth year and increased to reach a maximum in the seventh and eighth years. Meanwhile, a marginal internal rate of return was 24.72% per year, which means the program was shown to be a economic profitable investment in Korean agriculture.
National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Romania

Year: 2022

description: Romania’s extremely ambitious Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) was approved in November 2022. The plan is well written and articulated; it seems to correctly identify the critical points of the Romanian economy and society and to address them precisely. From a social point of view, the RRP includes reforms regarding the setting of the minimum wage and the modernisation of the Romanian social benefit system with the help of a subsistence minimum, aimed at combating poverty and creating fairer working conditions. In addition, the comprehensive pension reform is intended to help Romania meet its demographic aging challenges and to ensure compliance with the contribution principle as regards pension right beneficiaries. If applied, these measures would lead to substantial social changes. The main challenge for Romania, however, could be the implementation of the plan. The current political situation, as well as Romania's history as a late absorber of European funds, may give rise to a certain scepticism.

description: The Czech position vis-à-vis the NGEU plan prioritised the maximisation of grants for domestic investments while ensuring autonomy in their targeting. The National Resilience and Recovery Plan prioritises the investment side at the expense of structural reforms. The direction of investments resembles the priorities pursued in the context of cohesion policy, while meeting climate and digital targets. Most of the investments are in infrastructure projects. The biggest shortcoming of the Czech plan is the absence of a vision of how to take advantage of the economic potential of the green transition and digitalisation.

description: In this paper, we test the hypothesis of the Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Central Balkan Early Neolithic (6250–5300 BC) by applying the method of summed calibrated probability distributions to the set of more than 200 new radiocarbon dates from Serbia. The results suggest that there was an increase in population size after the first farmers arrived to the study area around 6250 BC. This increase lasted for approximately 250 years and was followed by a decrease of the population size proxy after 6000 BC, reaching its minimum around 5800 BC. This was followed by another episode of growth until 5600 BC when population size proxy rapidly declined, reaching its minimum around 5500 BC. The reconstructed intrinsic growth rate value indicates that the first episode of growth might have been fuelled both by high fertility and migrations, potentially related to the effects of the 8.2 ky event. The second episode of population growth after 5800 BC was probably due to the high fertility alone. It remains unclear what caused the population to decrease episodes.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Cross-disciplinary approaches to prehistoric demography'

description: Although the structure, function, conformational dynamics, and controlled thermodynamics of proteins are manifested by their corresponding amino acid sequences, the natural rules for molecular design and their corresponding interplay remain obscure. In this study, we focused on the role of internal cavities of proteins in conformational dynamics. We investigated the pressure-induced responses from the cavity-enlarged L99A mutant of T4 lysozyme, using high-pressure NMR spectroscopy. The signal intensities of the methyl groups in the 1H/13C HSQC spectra, particularly those around the enlarged cavity, decreased with the increasing pressure, and disappeared at 200 MPa, without the appearance of new resonances, thus indicating the presence of heterogeneous conformations around the cavity within the ground state ensemble. Above 200 MPa, the signal intensities of more than 20 methyl groups gradually decreased with the increasing pressure, without the appearance of new resonances. Interestingly, these residues closely matched those sensing a large conformational change between the ground- and high-energy states, at atmospheric pressure. 13C and 1H NMR line-shape simulations showed that the pressure-induced loss in the peak intensity could be explained by the increase in the high-energy state population. In this high-energy state, the aromatic side chain of F114 gets flipped into the enlarged cavity. The accommodation of the phenylalanine ring into the efficiently packed cavity may decrease the partial molar volume of the high-energy state, relative to the ground state. We suggest that the enlarged cavity is involved in the conformational transition to high-energy states and in the volume fluctuation of the ground state.

description: Our work presents the result of an experiment conducted on an online platform for the acquisition of German spelling skills. We compared the traditional online learning platform to three different adap-tive versions of the platform that implement machine learning-based student-facing interventions that show the personalized solution probability. We evaluate the different interventions with regards to the error rate, the number of early dropouts, and the users’ competency. Our results show that the number of mistakes decreased in comparison to the control group. Additionally, an increasing num-ber of dropouts was found. We did not find any significant effects on the users’ competency. We conclude that student-facing adaptive learning environments are effective in improving a person’s error rate and should be chosen wisely to have a motivating impact.

They found that for each of the four systems, arsenic concentrations in drinking water periodically exceeded the legal limit in violation of Safe Drinking Water Act regulations. The communities neighboring the prison benefited from local and federal remediation efforts. Yet, for people who were incarcerated, interventions such as free bottled water were often restricted.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of feedback types, available within the interactive programming environment JupyterLab. We distinguish between lower-level, immediate feedback during programming and higher-level, follow-up feedback for reoccurring misconceptions and problems over time. We further discuss potential extensions to provide even more feedback in JupyterLab, such as valuation and recognition of correct activities.

description: Recent versions of ChatGPT demonstrate an amazing ability to answer difficult questions in natural languages on a wide range of topics. This puts homeworks or online exams at risk, where a student can simply forward a question to the chatbot and copy its answers. We have tested ChatGPT with three of our exams, to find out which kinds of exam questions are still difficult for a generative AI. Therefore, we categorized exam questions according to a knowledge taxonomy, and we analyze the wrong answers in each category. To our surprise, ChatGPT even performed well with procedural knowledge, and it earned a grade of 2.7 (B-) in the IT Security exam. However, we also observed five options to formulate questions that ChatGPT struggles with.

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Belgium

description: The funds of the NextGenerationEU recovery plan have been welcomed by the Belgian government as an opportunity to make investments while the state budget was limited as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Social policy measures form only a limited part of the Belgian Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) and Belgium’s peculiar government structure – entailing a patchwork of initiatives from the various federal, Flemish, Brussels and Walloon governments – does not necessarily make it easy to develop a coherent approach for the country as a whole. Nevertheless there are some clear priorities, such as labour market inclusion and increasing labour market participation, fostering digital skills and lifelong learning. The social partners’ involvement in developing the plan has been rather minimal. The Commission’s assessment was positive overall, but the lack of major pension reforms might yield a different view in the future. In any case, the fear that the Commission (and Council) would use NextGenerationEU to call for new austerity measures has not come true, which is helped by the fact that the EU is still not returning to a strict application of its fiscal rules.

description: The transformations, analyses and interpretations of data in scientific workflows are vital for the repeatability and reliability of scientific workflows. This provenance of scientific workflows has been effectively carried out in Grid based scientific workflow systems. However, recent adoption of Cloud-based scientific workflows present an opportunity to investigate the suitability of existing approaches or propose new approaches to collect provenance information from the Cloud and to utilize it for workflow repeatability in the Cloud infrastructure. The dynamic nature of the Cloud in comparison to the Grid makes it difficult because resources are provisioned on-demand unlike the Grid. This paper presents a novel approach that can assist in mitigating this challenge. This approach can collect Cloud infrastructure information along with workflow provenance and can establish a mapping between them. This mapping is later used to re-provision resources on the Cloud. The repeatability of the workflow execution is performed by: (a) capturing the Cloud infrastructure information (virtual machine configuration) along with the workflow provenance, and (b) re-provisioning the similar resources on the Cloud and re-executing the workflow on them. The evaluation of an initial prototype suggests that the proposed approach is feasible and can be investigated further.

description: We study the zero-temperature transport properties of one-dimensional normal-superconductor (NS) junctions with topological superconductors across their topological transitions. Working within the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formalism generalized for topological NS junctions, we analytically calculate the differential conductance for tunneling into two models of a topological superconductor: a spinless intrinsic $p$-wave superconductor and a spin-orbit-coupled $s$-wave superconductor in a Zeeman field. In both cases we verify that the zero-bias conductance is robustly quantized at $2e^2/h$ in the topological regime, while it takes nonuniversal values in the non-topological phase. The conductance spectra in the topological state develops a peak at zero bias for certain parameter regimes, with the peak width controlled by the strength of spin-orbit coupling and barrier transparency.

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Germany

description: By helping to give birth to the establishment of NextGenerationEU and the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the German government made a U-turn in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic compared with its earlier austerity approach in the management of the Euro crisis. Opposition to the new European debt and transfer instruments has been silent and political leaders have integrated the additional grants into their planning processes concerning changing the country’s energy supply and expanding digitalisation. While the Recovery and Resilience Plan was assessed positively, some preconditions for implementing it still seem to be missing, such as better electricity and high-capacity broadband networks. The process of transforming the German economy structurally to be greener and more digitalised has, however, neglected the social implications. While a minor proportion of the RRP will be spent on strengthening social resilience, many vulnerable groups are not in the focus of the state’s activities. The EU’s conclusions in the 2019 Country Specific Recommendations are treated rather in economic than in social terms. A sustainable new growth model would need to tackle also long-standing problems such as the high external surplus, the low public investment rate, income inequality and the relatively high at-risk-of-poverty rate.

Little emphasis has been placed on designing virtual learning environments (VLEs) that retrieve the necessary learning objects from online repositories and utilize semantic metadata to present them dynamically. Thus, this paper presents an approach for transforming a semantic web of fine-grained learning objects into a functional VLE that delivers these objects to learners.

description: The NextGenerationEU plan is a golden opportunity for those Member States that were most badly hit, first, by the debt crisis, and then by the Covid-19 pandemic. Greece, one of the largest beneficiaries in per capita terms, is due to receive very significant resources that can help arrest the decline of the 2010s. Can these resources be spent wisely and efficiently enough to kickstart the process of inclusive and sustainable growth? This paper briefly reviews the Greek National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Greece 2.0), assessing its potential contribution to upgrading the economy’s growth model, enhancing skills, boosting employment and improving social services.

description: The author has a new interpretation for the cosmological constant. In this context, a fundamental conservation
law is found, which also solves the problem of the missing energy-momentum density of the gravitational field in
the theory of General Relativity. The cosmological constant is a conserved quantity, which is proportional to the
total energy-momentum density in the metric under consideration. Consequently, dark energy is nothing else
than the total energy-momentum density in the Friedmann-Lemaˆıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, which is
proportional to its cosmological constant, that drives the accelerated expansion of our universe. Dark matter
arises from the total energy-momentum density in any other metric under consideration than the FLRW metric
for our cosmos. Consequently, dark matter is related to the cosmological constant of the respective considered
metrics. The rotation curves of spiral galaxies become flat for a cosmological constant of about approximately
minus thousand times its universal value. They also increase at large distances from the galactic center, which is
in agreement with observations. It is shown, that dark matter is not detected by gravitational lensing.

description: This policy brief displays a successful compact and connected city solution – the consolidation of Staffordshire University into a distinct University Quarter – that has been implemented in Stoke-on-Trent – a medium-size polycentric industrial city in central England, coping with population loss. Building on local knowledge and stakeholders’ experiences, it shows how better integration of local knowledge infrastructure can improve the compactness and connectivity of the city. It reveals a number of conditions to make it happen. The key lesson is that achieving compactness and connectivity depends on building unique university expertise, meeting the current and future requirements, and aspirations of the academic staff, students, and visitors, and on providing good learning, teaching, and everyday life experience.

description: Collective quadrupole and octupole states are described in a series of Sm and Gd isotopes within the framework of the interacting boson model (IBM), whose Hamiltonian parameters are deduced from mean field calculations with the Gogny energy density functional. The link between both frameworks is the ($β_2β_3$) potential energy surface computed within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov framework in the case of the Gogny force. The diagonalization of the IBM Hamiltonian provides excitation energies and transition strengths of an assorted set of states including both positive and negative parity states. The resultant spectroscopic properties are compared with the available experimental data and also with the results of the configuration mixing calculations with the Gogny force within the generator coordinate method (GCM). The structure of excited $0^{+}$ states and its connection with double octupole phonons is also addressed. The model is shown to describe the empirical trend of the low-energy quadrupole and octupole collective structure fairly well, and turns out to be consistent with GCM results obtained with the Gogny force.

description: This article outlines Denmark’s implementation of the funds aimed at economic recovery after the Covid-19 crisis. Denmark applied only for grants, not loans, as the Danish economy is strong, and has not suffered significantly during the crisis. With this in mind, the article concludes that EU grants have had only a minor impact in the social dimension and the labour market.

description: This study is designed to find an optimized forest management scheme in preparation for inclusion of the value of carbon abatement in existing forest stands. Schemes to mitigate climate change by protecting forests include reforestation, afforestation and efficient forest management to maximize carbon absorption. The rotation period is extended if the value of carbon absorption as well as the timber values are considered for the stands of pine trees and Korean pine trees. The current management scheme is also analyzed and compared with optimal solutions. The result shows that in the case of pine trees the rotation period is optimal with the current method. But the rotation period decreases and the function value (objective value) increases if the optimal scheme is applied. The reason is that late execution of second thinning brings about slow progress of volume increment and extends the rotation period. If the rotation period is extended the present value from stands is discounted more seriously. To enhance the value of stands, the current rotation should be shortened, and the thinning should be executed at a time. In the case of Korean pine trees, the current rotation period is too short, and it is not optimal even under the current management method. Under the optimal management scheme, however, the rotation period becomes shorter than the current method. This happens because the current method includes four times of silvicultural treatments, and they last until 35 years after plantation. The cost of the treatments could not be recovered until after 100 years of plantation. Hence it is necessary to reduce the frequency of cutting and the age of final cutting. The simulation results show that the rotation period becomes shorter if the discount rate increases, and it becomes longer if the price of carbon dioxide increases. It is well known that the rotation period increases if the public values are added to the stands. However, it is also possible to find an optimal management scheme by adjusting the frequency and time of silvicultural treatments. Consequently, it could not be an optimal method of forest management to apply long and flat rotation periods even if some public values are added, but it is necessary to adjust and apply various rotation periods according to treatment numbers and cutting ages of different species.
The Fast Turnaround Proposal Review Process at Gemini

description: The Fast Turnaround program at Gemini Observatory has monthly proposal calls. Since it would not be feasible to have a standing TAC review proposals every month, we implemented a peer review process whereby anyone who submits a proposal for a round also commits to reviewing up to 8 other proposals during that round. Since there are only around 15 proposals submitted in a month, it is typically not possible for reviewers to be assigned 8 proposals on topics they are familiar with. We do assign proposals based on keyword matching, but the majority of the set of 8 proposals each reviewer must assess is outside of their area of expertise. We recommend proposals be written with this in mind. For each proposal submitted, someone on the proposal (PI or Co-I) must be assigned as the reviewer. Any student on the proposal is welcome and encouraged to serve as reviewer although a PhD mentor to aid them must also be assigned. This is a good opportunity for students to learn about the peer review process. Initially, the reviewers could see the identities of the proposing teams. In early 2021, we modified this to make it a dual anonymous process in order to promote fairness and eliminate unconscious bias to the extent possible. We discuss how well this proposal review system has worked for the Fast Turnaround program.

description: In \cite{FGLNP}, Fox, Gromov, Lafforgue, Naor and Pach, in a respond to a question of Gromov \cite{G}, constructed bounded degree geometric expanders, namely, simplical complexes having the affine overlapping property. Their explicit constructions are finite quotients of $\tilde{A_d}$-buildings, for $d\geq 2$, over local fields. In this paper, this result is extended to general high rank Bruhat-Tits buildings.
