Crypto economy, first mentioned in 1996, started shaping at the beginning of 2009, after Bitcoin network launch. Being a new phenomenon, Crypto economy causes both great enthusiasm and serious concerns related to its impact on the environment. The amount of electricity consumed by Crypto economy is comparable to the annual consumption by such countries as Chile and Venezuela. The influence of Crypto economy on the planet’s ecosystem is growing at a significant pace. Even though there are thousands of cryptocurrencies, bitcoin mining contribution to the overall consumption of electricity by the cryptocurrency industry is crucial. To understand the alternative cost of maintaining a cryptocurrency industry infrastructure and its impact on the Earth’s ecosystem, different electricity consumption models considered and corresponding carbon footprint model introduced. The carbon footprint model based on a third-party estimate of global electricity consumption by the industry and geographical distribution of mining facilities educated guess coming from the internet traffic distribution of mining pools login pages. This approach allowed considering 8 out of top-10 mining pools responsible for the majority of network hashrate. The resulting carbon dioxide emissions taking bitcoin mining yearly electricity consumption equal 73.12 TWh is 40.88 million tons of CO2, which is 0.12% of global carbon dioxide emissions.

This study is devoted to the impact of Parliament on the sustainable socio-economic, political development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article addresses the most important issues of sustainable development, the formation and activities of the legislative branch of power, the importance of parliament during the transitional periods of political modernization of Kazakhstan. The authors tried to reveal the political and legal foundations of the functioning of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to determine the most popular areas of its functioning in modern conditions of accelerating political processes in the country. It is likely that the upsurge in civic activity in Kazakhstan, mass rallies, as well as a change in the thirty-year rule of the first president will put the government in need of transforming the legislative branch of power. Against this background, the underestimation of the social and political significance of parliamentary institutions as one of the decisive conditions for the stable and sustainable development of society and the state stands out. The dependence of the sustainable development of Kazakhstan on the level of development of parliamentary relations seems to be a key point in understanding the essence of the modern political process, its internal determinants, requiring the disclosure of the relationship between elements of civil society and government structures. A comprehensive study of the relationship between socio-political stability and parliamentary institutions contributes to the further development of a scientific theory of the development of the individual, society and the state in the complex and contradictory conditions of the transit of supreme power, which Kazakhstan entered.

Lo studio indaga il contenuto degli stereotipi e dei metastereotipi di genere in un campione di comodo di 622 donne del Sud Italia: giovani (N=228, 20-39 anni); adulte (N=227, 40-55 anni); mature (N=167, 56-87 anni). Sulla base del Modello del Contenuto dello Stereotipo e della teoria dei ruoli sociali, sono state individuate le variazioni nel contenuto degli stereotipi e dei metastereotipi nei tre gruppi di età. I risultati indicano che lo stereotipo tende ad assumere caratteristiche di maggior competenza e di minor calore con il crescere dell’età dei soggetti e l’assunzione di ruoli lavorativi. La discrepanza tra stereotipi (positivi) e metastereotipi (negati-vi) è interpretata come il risultato di una strategia di creatività sociale volta al mantenimento di una buona immagine di sé.

Gli operatori e i professionisti che si occupano di giovani a rischio di radicalizzazione vio-lenta manifestano un costante bisogno di formazione legato principalmente all’acquisizione di strumenti per gestire efficacemente la fragilità psicologica e sociale di tali utenti. Questo contri-buto si focalizza sul percorso di Training realizzato all’interno del Progetto Europeo PROVA, che è stato svolto con operatori direttamente o indirettamente coinvolti negli interventi rivolti a giovani dell’area penale. Saranno illustrate le competenze fornite ai partecipanti e saranno pre-sentati i risultati emersi dal processo di autovalutazione. Nel Progetto le riflessioni dei parteci-panti sono stati elementi importanti per l’elaborazione delle Guidelines for best practices.

There is an increased interest for radicalization and its prevention. The identity crisis para-digm suggests the potential usefulness of collaborative strategies for the construction of desir-able identities. This paper describes a pilot model of two narrative practices - The Tree of Life and the Definitional Ceremony, supporting alternative desirable identities as pathway to pre-vent radicalization in Iasi Prison, in Romania. Eight young adults detention and 6 universitary students were involved in the narrative processes. The authors claim that the narrative support-ive practices have an effect of restoring dignity, re-humanizing contexts and relationships, and supporting preferred narratives worth living.

The phenomenon of Radicalization has always been a matter of interest in human dynam-ics, especially with reference to social groups. Following the information and communication technologies (ICT) revolution, many scholars and psychologists tried to understand how this phenomenon may occur within online contexts. The current paper intends to give a review about the impact of the setting on the Radicalization potential, which may occur inside real and "virtual" groups. State of the art was analysed considering environmental and psycho-social factors, and the most recent experimental evidence. The purpose of this work is to bring in-sights to model the Online Radicalization phenomenon in order to identify future perspectives to investigate, and to extend knowledge and strategies for the containment of Violent Radicali-zation dynamics.

By a phenomenological analysis of the booklet on the Islamic State (IS) that appeared in Italian on the web in 2015, our aim was to understand through which narrative IS manages to enlist Western people and not only. We investigated the text to detect its hidden and manifest content and to intercept the needs on which this media campaign leveraged. The Islamic State (IS) was represented as a country offering justice, respect, equality, and healthcare for every-body: a country fulfilling all possible needs. Finally, we discussed the role of psychology as a tool to decolonize the minds and, not least, we identified possible strategies for responding to the social needs that might make the so-called "Caliphate" attractive for Western youth.

L’Autore esamina la questione del "dovere di dissociazione" del sindacato, promotore di un’astensione collettiva nei servizi essenziali, rispetto ad altre azione illegittime finalizzate alla stessa rivendicazione. In primo luogo, sottolinea l’insufficiente attenzione sino a oggi dedicata (anzitutto dalla Commissione di garanzia ex l. 146/1990) alla strutturale e prioritaria presenza di un soggetto sindacale in ogni astensione collettiva; problema particolarmente avvertito nelle cc.dd. astensioni spontanee, in relazione alle quali il "dovere di dissociazione" assume in concreto più rilievo. In secondo luogo, l’Autore ritiene meritevole di attenzione tale dovere, ma non di per sé, bensì quale espressione del "dovere d’influenza" del sindacato nei confronti dei propri iscritti: scaturente, quest’ultimo, dagli specifici obblighi previsti dalla l. 146/1990 anzi-ché da un generale dovere di protezione dei diritti tutelati dalla medesima legge (affermato in-vece da Cass. n. 2298/2019). E le sue conseguenze giuridiche variano - sostiene l’Autore - a seconda che si accolga la tesi della titolarità individuale o della titolarità sindacale del diritto di sciopero.
