The First Outstanding 50 Years of “Università Politecnica delle Marche”
The book describes significant multidisciplinary research findings at the Università Politecnica delle Marche and the expected future advances. It addresses some of the most dramatic challenges posed by today’s fast-growing, global society and the changes it has caused, while also discussing solutions to improve the wellbeing of human beings. The book covers the main research achievements made in the social sciences and humanities, and includes chapters that focus on understanding mechanisms that are relevant to all aspects of economic and social interactions among individuals. In line with Giorgio Fuà’s contribution, the interdisciplinary research being pursued at the Faculty of Economics of Università Politecnica delle Marche is aimed at interpreting the process of economic development in all of its facets, both at the national and local level, with a particular focus on profit and non-profit organizations. Various disciplines are covered, from economics to sociology, history, statistics, mathematics, law, accounting, finance and management.
Models for Data Analysis
The 49Th Scientific meeting of the Italian Statistical Society was held in June 2018 in Palermo, with more than 450 attendants. There were plenary sessions as well as specialized and solicited and contributed sessions. This volume collects a selection of twenty extended contributions covering a wide area of applied and theoretical issues, according to the modern trends in statistical sciences. Only to mention some topics, there are papers on modern textual analysis, sensorial analysis, social inequalities, themes on demography, modern modeling of functional data and high dimensional data, and many other topics. This volume is addressed to academics, PhD students, professionals and researchers in applied and theoretical statistical models for data analysis.
Depletion
When thinking about the work of caring for others we often neglect the human cost born by those performing this care. Feminists have long talked about the ways in which unpaid work, particularly performed in the home, is habitually undervalued by society; but the work of caring for people, both paid and unpaid, can also take a toll on the health of individuals, households, and communities when we give more than we receive. This lopsided gap between outflows and inflows, as this book argues, is depletion. In Depletion, Shirin M. Rai examines the human costs of care work and how these are reproduced across the boundaries of class, race, gender, and generation. Depletion can be physical, as mea...
Beauty in African Thought
A 2023 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Beauty in African Thought: A Critique of the Western Idea of Development investigates how the concept of beauty in African philosophy and related qualitative social sciences may contribute to a richer intercultural exchange on the idea of development. While working within frameworks created in post-colonial and arguably neo-colonial times, African thinkers have reacted against the mainstream view that restricts the meaning and scope of good development to economic growth and western-style education. These thinkers have worked toward a critical self-understanding of the potentials inherent in cultural, spiritual, and political traditions since ...
Local-scale Economics
"This book proposes an articulated and multidisciplinary research path that introduces to the potential of adopting territorial statistics, namely those elaborated at the level of Local Labour Systems, for carrying out spatial analysis of apparent and latent interactions between socioeconomic phenomena and environmental dynamics at a sufficiently broad and efficient geographical unit of analysis. This allows to examine in a more exhaustive manner the complexity and non-linearity of several socio-economic and territorial processes and to address the multidimensional concept of sustainability from below. Studies included in this book contribute to an integrated, multidisciplinary reading that covers the three pillars of sustainability. Italy is a relevant case study in this sense and can be assumed as a paradigmatic country also for other advanced European nations that undertook territorial analysis at a very disaggregated spatial level (i.e., UK, Spain, Germany and France among others)"--
Estudos em Homenagem ao Professor Doutor Fernando Alves Correia - Vol. II
Fernando Alves Correia contribuiu, indubitavelmente, para o prestígio da sua Faculdade, enquanto Investigador e Professor de Direito Público, dedicado e generoso, que a serviu como docente durante cerca de 45 anos. A par de uma apuradíssima formação jurídica e cultural, por todos reconhecida, Fernando Alves Correia, em vários cargos relevantes de gestão da Faculdade de Direito, demonstrou continuamente um inexcedível sentido de lealdade pessoal e institucional, bem como uma lúcida capacidade de liderança, moldada pela dimensão humana, quase fraterna, que nele amiúde lampejava. É autor de uma valiosa obra, que, no essencial, versa sobre as áreas do Direito Administrativo, do Direito do Urbanismo e do Direito Constitucional - com especial destaque para a Justiça Constitucional -, a qual teve uma vasta repercussão na legislação, na jurisprudência e na doutrina nacional.
Homage (and Criticism) to the Mediterranean City
Departing from conventional narratives centered on economic stagnation and social secularism, this book offers a fresh perspective on Mediterranean urbanities. It posits their correlation with housing and welfare regimes, societal transformations, local governance structures, and deficiencies in spatial planning. The analysis within delves into the neglected potential for mitigating regional disparities, conducting a meticulous examination of environmental disparities, economic imbalances, and overarching social inequalities in Southern European regions. The outcome aims to furnish an integrated, and potentially holistic, understanding of spatial divisions between cities and their surrounding territories.
