In this paper we focus on the impact of low cost carriers on tourism. With respect to the previous literature our paper has the advantage of using a very rich dataset, including territorially disaggregated data on tourism expenditure. To ensure greater consistency we employ an instrumental variable estimator, devised by exploiting the exogenous airports’ structural characteristics. Our results indicate that proximity to a low cost operating airport, measured in terms of travel time, exerts a positive effect on total tourism receipts; the estimated impact is larger if we consider leisure tourism expenditure only.

This study investigates the effect of investments in intangible fixed assets and human capital on the Enterprise Value (EV) of Italian high-growth startups (HGSs). To test our hypotheses, we conducted several Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analyses on a dataset comprising 782 HGSs. The EV was esti-mates using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method. Our findings reveal a posi-tive and statistically significant relationship between investments in intangible as-sets and EV. However, investments in human capital and highly skilled workers show a negatively relationship with EV. Lastly, a positive and statistically signifi-cant relationship between value-added per employees and the EV of HGSs has been identified. This study offers valuable insight into the process through which new firms gener-ate value. By strategically investing in intangible assets and human capital, startups not only enhance their probability of survival but also improve their growth potential. This allows these companies to overcome the challenges of the early stage and embark on a sustainable growth process. To spotlight the unique value drivers of these companies, unlike prior studies, we manually estimate the EV. We have employed the DCF method by playing the cards face up: we used the actual cash flows realized by the HGSs during the study period instead of rely-ing on forecasts. We have therefore “cheated” to measure the value created by the HGSs. This research can be considered a pioneering study that significantly con-tributes to the ongoing debate on the value creation process in fast growing startups.

L’articolo descrive uno strumento osservazionale-valutativo, costruito ed elaborato all’interno dell’UO di Psicologia 2 di Rovereto, per la valutazione psicologica delle capacità genitoriali nello studio di coppia che si compie nel percorso preadottivo. Si tratta di una check list composta di item che caratterizzano le tre aree indagate in fase preadottiva: area motivazionale, area del funzionamento individuale e area del funzionamento di coppia. Tale strumento permette di armonizzare le procedure osservative tra gli psicologi, in modo da facilitare una valutazione che si focalizzi sulle aree centrali della genitorialità adottiva migliorando, così, il processo valutativo stesso. In questo lavoro viene illustrato il percorso di riflessione che ha condotto alla costruzione di questo strumento, i punti di forza e i limiti dello stesso e, infine, le prospettive future.

The present handbook is a modest contribution to the knowledge of the chemical disinfection behaviour and specifications. Emphasis is given to the fact that optimum disinfection is made up of an appropriate selection of steps. Each of them must guarantee a foreseeable performance (barrier treatment concept) and the use of disinfectant should be normally delayed as much as possible, that is after other organic and inorganic pollutants have been removed.

Which studies social mediation and informal justice in the American model and in Italian experience. In the first part of the book, the author describes three ideal types of mediation: mediation in a negotiation, community mediation and therapeutic mediation. In the second part, the author describes a qualitative research conducted in social mediation centres in Italy. An interesting element emerges from this research: all the Italian centres except one refer to a model of mediation elaborated in France by Jacqueline Morineau, who organised the "Centre de médiation et de la formation à la médiation" in Paris. The article ends with a proposal. The Morineau model’s spirit of mediation can be imagined making a real contribution in the near future, in a geographical area where the mutual projections of the shadow of law are so violent and the denial of reciprocal acknowledgment so total as to crystallise into autonomous, negative forces bent on mutual destruction. The area in question is Palestine and the destructive process the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Questo libro si rivolge a tutti coloro che si trovano ad affrontare la malattia oncologica e ad accompagnare una persona cara nel difficile percorso che essa comporta, con uno sguardo, in particolare, alla relazione con i figli e ai loro vissuti. Quali sono i bisogni di chi sta accanto a un familiare ammalato? Come ci si sente a farsi carico della sofferenza di una persona cara? Come la malattia di un genitore influenza la crescita di un figlio adolescente?

Il saggio propone una riflessione sulla specialità del lavoro domestico, a partire dalla sua defi-nizione legislativa e dalla tecnica normativa di tipo sottrattivo che caratterizza i diversi istituti, soffermandosi poi sulle ragioni della vasta diffusione del lavoro irregolare. L’A. si sofferma, inoltre, sulle novità offerte dalla legislazione emergenziale e conclude con alcune proposte per il superamento dell’irregolarità nel settore, con un particolare focus sulla tutela processuale.

L’autore, direttore della rivista, espone la propria concezione di cura maturata dopo oltre una quarantennale esperienza clinica e formativa. A partire dal concetto di "persona", intesa come "altro" rispetto ad un organismo somatopsichico indagabile solo attraverso gli strumenti della scienza, si propone di presentare alcune riflessioni sul mestiere di terapeuta e formatore. Attraverso un costante parallelismo tra un suo pensiero sulla vita e un suo pensiero sulla terapia, e attraverso diversi passaggi di natura oltre che clinica anche e soprattutto esistenziale, l’autore espone un modello di terapia che mette al centro la persona del terapeuta che, attraverso la cura di sé, propone e offre al paziente un esempio e una testimonianza reale di quale sia il modello di terapia e la possibilità di cura che egli stesso persegue

In recent decades, the increase in life expectancy, changes in the labour market, and the economic and financial crisis have impaired the sustainability of pension systems in many developed countries. This has lead to the approval of reforms that modify pension systems in the direction of a reduction in the number and generosity of pension benefits, as well as a reduction of the length of the period of receipt. In Italy, given a particularly severe situation - enormous public debt, economic stagnation and demographic decline - a strict law was passed that radically reformed the Italian pension system. This study aims to describe the opinions of European citizens about aging and pensions, based on sets of heterogeneous national and international data (survey Aging, 2011, Eurobarometer surveys, 2001, 2004 and 2012), and to identify the reasons behind opinions that reject or accept the pension reforms.
