Abstract:
This study collects data from the literature and updates our Zelus renardii Kolenati, 1856 (Leafhopper Assassin Bug, LAB) prey knowledge. The literature consists of ca. 170 entries encompassing the years 1856 to 2021. This reduviid originated in the Nearctic region, but has entered and acclimatised in many Mediterranean countries. Our quantitative predation experiments—in the laboratory on caged plants plus field or environmental observations—confirm that LAB prefers a selected array of prey. Laboratory predation tests on living targets (Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera) agree with the literature. Zelus renardii prefers comparatively large, highly mobile, and readily available prey. LAB preferences on available hemipterans targets suggest that Zelus renardii is a good inundative biocontrol agent for Xylella fastidiosapauca ST53 infections. LAB also prey on other important olive pests, such as Bactrocera oleae. Therefore, Zelus renardii is a major integrated pest management (IPM) component to limit Xylella fastidiosa pandemics and other pest invasions.

Abstract:
Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (IAHS), as a new type of heritage, has received extensive attention from the international scientific communities. With the increase of IAHS research, reviews on it have been conducted by many scholars. However, visualized research to show future research trends of IAHS are lacking. Therefore, using metrology analysis methods, this study aims at presenting the progress of research and the general development trends of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in the world from 2006 to 2020 to provide ideas for the development of countries or regions in the future. This study mapped 292 literatures from Web of Science core collections from 2006 to 2020 by CiteSpace software. The results show that research on IAHS from 2006 to 2020 experienced two stages: the fluctuating increase stage, and the steady growth stage. Author groups from China, Italy, the USA, Japan, etc., contributed many papers on IAHS. Institutions including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Florence and the University of Padua in Italy, etc., have a relatively high influence on international IAHS research. Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment is the most cited journal. Agricultural Heritage Systems, regeneration, agriculture, agroforestry, dry-stone wall, social capital, instability, and agricultural biodiversity have been hotspots in the past 15 years. The research themes mainly focus on GIAHS, tourism, livelihood assets, and direct georeferencing. Authors in different regions concern different research themes. In the future, the fields of applications and microscopic views, social sciences, applications of standardized quantitative research methods, and broadened international cooperation should be paid more attention.

Abstract:
Let me start with a short historical excursion, taking the Bologna University as an example. The Bologna University was founded in 1088, but only at the beginning of 1700, when a deep transformation in the tradition and female behaviour model occurred, women started to approach the academic life mostly in humanities. There were also examples of scientist women, often without a real academic title working side by side with men (generally fathers or husbands).During the 19th century the female presence in the italian universities slowly increased, becoming a reality at the beginning of the 20th century. In the time interval from 1884 to 1900, 224 degrees were assigned to women in Italy (less than 10% of the total): 68.9% in Literature and Philosophy,7.8% in Mathematics, 11.7% in Natural Science, 9.3% in Medicine, and 2.3% in Law. Women were mostly involved in fields related to educational activities, however six out of 224 got a chair at the Universities, five of which in scientific fields.

In this contribution we report the observation of an individual of the migrant dragonfly Pantala flavescens (Fabricius, 1798) found at Montanaro (Piemonte, Italy) on 14 Aug 2019. This represents the first record of the species for mainland Italy and one of the very few available for Western and Central Europe before 2019. We discuss two hypotheses on the origin of this individual integrating available literature with very recent records retrieved from citizen science faunistic platforms.

Abstract:
PurposeThis study analyzed articles from India, Italy and Singapore regarding how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education is conceptualized in the K-12 setting. The research questions that guided our study were as follows: (1) How is K-12 STEM education conceptualized in literature in other countries? (2) Which STEM subject areas are more documented in K-12 STEM literature? (3) How are K-12 STEM teaching practices implemented?Design/methodology/approachThis study utilized a systematic literature review methodology by (1) creating search terms based on the research questions, (2) choosing databases in which to conduct the search, (3) conducting the search and gathering articles and (4) selecting articles based on inclusion criteria. We chose search terms according to three domains relevant to our study as follows: countries of interest, content of interest and teaching practices. Articles researched were (1) an empirical journal article or literature review; (2) primarily focused on the concept of K-12 STEM teaching practices in one of the countries of interest and (3) written in English.FindingsFindings from the study revealed few articles addressed a conceptualization of STEM; however, the majority of articles agreed upon the importance of STEM teaching methods in the K-12 classroom setting. Science was documented as the top documented area in K-12 STEM literature for India and Italy, whereas technology and mathematics were the top documented areas in Singapore. Comparing K-12 STEM teaching practices, Italy and Singapore were found to focus more on student-centered STEM teaching practices whereas schools in India mostly utilized student-centered teaching approaches.Research limitations/implicationsThe parameters of the systematic literature review, such as key terms used in the search and limited scope of countries investigated, were identified as limitations of the study. By expanding search parameters to include other countries or search terms, STEM education can be viewed on a more global scale.Practical implicationsThis study will improve the global perspective of STEM education practices.Originality/valueThis study is unique in that it compared the conceptualization and K-12 STEM teaching practices implemented in India, Italy and Singapore.

Abstract:
The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in China and the West saw a wave of skeptical approaches to metaphysics, ethics, and the physical sciences, including a related interest in “playing devil’s advocate” for seemingly weak propositions. This article analyzes two works of musical theater from these geographically remote traditions to argue that use of historically problematic romances to explore the relationship of ethics, emotion, and reason resulted in novel depictions of attachment emotions as neither purely selfless “gut reactions” nor calculating facades. Scenes depicting lovers’ quarrels and morally flawed characters may paradoxically strike audiences as more authentically romantic because they dramatize an aspect of attachment emotions’ functioning recently elucidated by cognitive science, namely, that of “body budgeting” (allocation of energy resources by the brain). Monteverdi and Busenello’s Coronation of Poppaea and Hóng Shēng’s Palace of Lasting Life use contrastive poetic and musical styles to dramatize the debate-like quality inherent in such negotiations, further revealing a strong connection between the affective “ingredients” that make up socially mediated emotion states and the mechanisms by which music and prosody affect them.

Abstract:
Accounting is much more than a science, is a branch of our heritage history. Since the dawn of primitive era, it has been a part of us and kept developing. Given its importance, the literature in accounting history has grown but much remains to be unravelled. In this sense, this research is a literature review on the evolution of accounting. The aim is to highlight the accounting timelessness in humanity and to analyse the scientific production in accounting history. A quantitative bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and R Bibliometrix software. A total of 236 publications were selected from the Web of Science database, between 1975 and 2021. In this research, we found that the main subtopics in accounting history research are: (1) accounting history and its relevance, (2) the roles of accounting in society, (3) accounting and religion and (3) schools of thought in accounting history. Australia, England, America, and Italy are the countries with most published articles. “Accounting History”, “Accounting Organizations and Society” and “Accounting Historians Journal” have been among the top journals, Garry Carnegie, Delfina Gomes and Christopher Napier are the most influential authors and the institutions, like Rmit University, the University of Minho and Cardiff University, stand out on accounting history research, considering the number of publications. The research trend and the progress in accounting history were discussed.

Abstract:
The scientific discoveries and inventions of the early seventeenth century, which include Johannes Kepler’s inverted retinal image, the refinement of lenses, and the invention of the telescope, transformed the status of vision in the acquisition of knowledge, thus modifying the nature of what is known and even challenging how things are known. Rather than focus on philosophical oppositions between seeing and looking, or on artistic practices such as linear perspective or anamorphosis in literature’s engagement with vision, this study privileges instead a dialogue with early modern optics. Deriving a theoretical framework from the scientific debates about vision and its instruments, which brings attention to the historically charged concepts of mediated perception, the visible and the invisible, and natural and mechanical sight, I examine how French and Italian authors in the early seventeenth century engaged with ocular and optical motifs to question the sense of sight and its authority. My corpus describes vision as indispensable to the observation and knowledge of the world, although the texts also expose the vulnerability of the sense of sight to error because of natural limitations or an inability to recognize the true form behind deceitful appearances. As such, they elucidate a crisis of knowledge and representation that characterizes the earlier decades of the seventeenth century. Based on the dynamics between the eye and visual aids as they appear in the scientific community, I identify two distinct visual modes in the literary texts, which correspond to the natural eye and the instrumentalized one, assisted and enhanced by a lens. The authors considered here, which include Béroalde de Verville, Traiano Boccalini, Agrippa d’Aubigné, and the writers involved in the polemics around Giambattista Marino’s L’Adone and Pierre Corneille’s Le Cid, present the two visual modes as existing in tension, which I define as “baroque vision.” The analyses of the literary texts demonstrate how the integration of lenses, be it through explicit references to optical devices or through more abstract portrayals that parallel the operations of the eye and the instrument, becomes emblematic of other concerns, from debates regarding discontent about dissimulation to discussions of poetic practice.

Resumo: Italo Calvino, questionando-se sobre novas necessidades impostas pelo enfraquecimento de diversos paradigmas conceituais e metodológicos das áreas exatas e humanas do conhecimento, dedicou-se intensamente como editor, crítico e ficcionista à leitura de incontáveis textos científicos e literários, com a mesma postura de curiosidade e de disciplina crítica, principalmente a partir dos anos 1960. Assim, ele desfez a visão cristalizada de que a literatura seria território exclusivo da expressão da subjetividade do autor em contato com o mundo, e de que a ciência se basearia unicamente em procedimentos de precisão e rigor, transmitidos por uma linguagem também exata. Aproximou por diversas vezes literatura e ciência, pensando-as como um híbrido de padrões e de exceções, de regras e de descumprimento das regras. Seu importante ensaio "Cibernética e fantasmas", de 1967, funcionou na pesquisa como núcleo argumentativo potencial para todo o percurso traçado pelas dezenas de textos seus, uma vez que nele são apresentados todos os elementos mínimos da discussão: o caráter combinatório-científico da literatura, o autor literário como máquina da escrita, a extrapolação da linguagem pela literatura como seu valor mítico e o leitor como fantasma responsável pela efetivação desse mito. Projetando esses elementos sobre uma seleção ensaística do período de 1965 a 1985, constata-se que as principais ciências que teriam contribuído para sua obra foram a cibernética, a antropologia, a etnologia, a matemática e a astronomia, concebidas em extrema mobilidade, sem rígidas fronteiras entre si. O escritor, recusando a estética naturalista-realista e a perspectiva antropocêntrica que a sustentaria, privilegiou teorias estruturalistas e semiológicas, a ideia do humano como uma dentre várias formas de vida, os modelos narrativos das culturas primitivas indígenas e ocidentais, a matematização dos procedimentos literários e a progressiva indistinção entre mundo escrito e mundo nãoescrito. Como crítico, entretanto, Calvino tendeu a explorar as afinidades entre literatura e ciência mais do que as especificidades de cada uma, incorrendo em uma postura interpretativa essencialmente estruturalista, abandonando, em certa medida, a noção de mito apresentada em "Cibernética e fantasmas" como momento determinante da linguagem literária. Foi com o objetivo de tentar reencontrar as especificidades literárias em seu discurso que lemos As Cosmicômicas (1965), um projeto de narrar o cosmo que alia ciência e literatura, máquina e humor, mostrando que tais elementos se misturam indefinidamente
Abstract: Italo Calvino, concerned about new demands due to the dissolution of some conceptual and methodological paradigms used in exact and humanistic areas of knowledge, mainly from the 1960's on, had been intensely dedicated as an editor, a critic and a fiction writer to reading several scientific and literary texts, with the same attitude of curiosity and critical discipline. He undid a traditional point of view which used to consider literature pure expression of an author's subjectivity in front of the world, and to consider science exclusively as a set of precise and rigorous procedures, demonstrated through a language also exact. He put literature and science side by side many times, taking them as a hybrid of standards and exceptions, rules and contraventions. His important essay "Cybernetics and ghosts", dating 1967, served in this research as a potential argumentative core for the entire path through dozens of his writings, because in this text all the basic elements of the discussion are presented: the combinatory-scientific nature of literature, the literary author as a writing machine, the explosion of language due to its mythic value and the reader as a ghost responsible for the effectiveness of this myth. Projecting these elements upon a selection of essays from 1965 to 1985, we can see that the main sciences that would have contributed for his writings were cybernetics, anthropology, ethnology, mathematics and astronomy, conceived in extreme mobility, with no clear boundaries among them. Refusing the naturalistic-realistic aesthetics and its anthropocentric perspective, the writer privileged structuralist and semiologic theories, the idea of human as one of several forms of life, narrative models from indigenous and western primitive cultures, the mathematization of literary procedures and the progressive indistinction between written and non-written world. But as a critic Calvino tended to explore the affinities between literature and science, more than the particularities of each one, reaching a way of reading essentially structuralist and leaving behind, in a certain way, the notion of the myth presented in "Cybernetics and ghosts" as an essential moment of literary language. It was with the purpose of trying to find again literary particularities in his speech that we read Cosmicomics (1965), a project of narrating cosmos which associates science and literature, machine and humor, showing that such elements get melted indefinitely

Resumo: A presente dissertação tratou da relação entre política e literatura nos escritos carcerários de Antonio Gramsci, em especial nos Cadernos 21 e 23. Para isso, considerou o método de restauração, proposto pela edição crítica dos Cadernos por Valentino Gerratana (1975). Propôs, para tal, duas categorias principais, crítica literária e literatura nacional-popular, que transitam entre os campos de conhecimento envolvidos. A hipótese mais geral, ou o ponto de partida da pesquisa, foi a de que a relação entre literatura e política fez parte de um esforço mais geral por Gramsci de, ao mesmo tempo, sobreviver às condições de vida no cárcere e buscar a elaboração de uma filosofia, a filosofia da práxis. No que diz respeito à crítica literária, a pesquisa buscou estabelecer uma tradução possível entre as notas carcerárias sobre a construção do intelectual orgânico moderno e aquelas sobre o "retorno a De Sanctis" como modelo de crítico literário, oposto à figura de Benedetto Croce. Aqui, a contradição entre o literato e o político é tomada como ponto de partida para compreender o nascimento do novo intelectual como "especialista + político". A pesquisa recuperou, ainda, o momento nacional-popular em Gramsci, como centro articulador do estudo do modo de vida moderno e representante da atualização na política e na literatura da experiência histórica da formação dos Estados nacionais. O estudo da literatura nacional-popular italiana foi considerado, por sua vez, em sua fragilidade, revelada por Gramsci como paralelo da própria fragilidade da unificação nacional italiana
Abstract: This thesis dealt with the relationship between politics and literature in the prison writings of Antonio Gramsci, especially the Prison Notebooks 21 and 23. For this, considered the restoration method proposed by the critical edition of the Prison Notebooks edited by Valentino Gerratana (1975). This work proposed to achieve its goals with two main categories, literary criticism and national-popular literature. The general hypothesis, or the starting point, of this research was that the relationship between literature and politics was part of a broader effort by Gramsci to survive the conditions of life in prison and to seek the development of the philosophy of praxis. With regard to literary criticism, the survey sought to establish a possible translation of the prison notes on the construction of the organic and modern intellectual, represented at the "return to De Sanctis", as a model of literary critic opposed to the figure of Benedetto Croce. Here, the contradiction between the literary and the political was taken as a starting point for understanding the birth of the modern intellectual as "political + expert". The research recovered also the national-popular moment in Gramsci, as a hub of the study of modern lifestyle and representative update on politics and literature of the historical experience of the formation of national states. The study of national-popular Italian literature was considered, in turn, in its fragility, the fragility of the Italian unification

My dissertation examines the ethical engagement of political invective poetry in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy. Modern criticism tends to treat medieval invective as a playfully subversive but marginal poetic game with minimal ethical weight. Instead, I aim to restore these poetic productions to their original context: the history, law, and custom of Tuscan cities. This contexts allows me to explore how humor and fury, in the denunciation of political enemies, interact to establish not a game but an ethics of invective. I treat ethics as both theoretical and practical, referring to Aristotle, Cicero, and Brunetto Latini, and define ethics as the pursuit of the common good in a defined community. Chapter I introduces the corpus, its historical and cultural background, its critical reception, and my approach. Chapter II discusses medieval invective in Tuscany and surveys the cultural practice of invective writing. Chapter III approaches invectives written by Rustico Filippi during the Guelph and Ghibelline wars. Chapter IV explores invectives by Cecco Angiolieri set in Siena, which polemicize with the Sienese government and citizenry. Chapter V examines invectives in Dante's Commedia (Inf. 19, Purg. 6, and Par. 27), focusing on his unexpected humor and his critique of the papacy, the empire, and Italian city governments. My conclusion examines the ethical function of slanderous wit in wartime invective. These poems balance verbal aggression with humor, claiming a role for laughter in creating dialogue within conflict. Far from a stylistic or ludic exercise, each invective shows the poet's activism and ethical engagement. This dissertation includes previously published material.

Panzarella, Gioia. "Disseminating migration literature : a dialogue with contemporary Italy." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2018. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/113827/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis engages with migration literature in Italian keeping at the centre of the analysis its dissemination. I argue that this approach offers new insights into the ways migration dialogues with contemporary Italian literature - and, more generally, with contemporary Italy - with a focus on the work of translingual authors writing in Italian. The aim of this research is not to engage critically with the body of texts written by migrant writers. Rather, it focuses on sites of dissemination of this production, analysing the aims, content, and outcomes of selected case studies from this perspective. Key concerns are the public perception of migration and growing attention in the media: this thesis seeks to explore to what extent these tensions emerge when migration literature is communicated to a wide public audience and whether they affect the way in which these writers and their works are presented. This thesis considers these case studies in relation to the scholarly debate on transnational and migration literature in Italian. Thanks to the notion of 'cultural intermediary', I discuss the role and prerogatives of agents involved, for example the creative nature of their work. The case studies cover a range of time that spans from the early nineties to 2017 and they include: initiatives devoted specifically to migration literature such as series of book launches and workshops (Centro culturale Multietnico La Tenda in Milan, Seminari della Sagarana); television broadcasts (with a focus on three television broadcasts on the Italian public television channel RAI 3); educational materials for schools; and writers (Compagnia delle poete and Gabriella Ghermandi). Thanks to this approach, this thesis inserts some crucial moments of the dissemination of migration literature in Italian into a polycentric network of initiatives that uses the internet as a means to communicate and as a repository of materials. The thesis demonstrates the impact that these modes of dissemination have had not only on reception, but also on artistic practices and the production of literary texts.

Full text
Abstract:
La thèse comprend trois parties dont la première vise à définir le contexte historique et culturel dans lequel se développa la production littéraire prise en considération. Nous y décrivons la position d'infériorité relative qui était, depuis l'Antiquité, celle des praticiens (mechanici) par rapports aux lettrés et, plus généralement, aux représentants des arts libéraux. Nous décrivons ensuite le milieu dans lequel évoluèrent les auteurs des dialogues étudiés, c'est-à-dire la cour, centre névralgique et décisionnel de la société à cette époque et qui, passage obligé de l'ascension sociale, était aussi un milieu hostile et très fortement concurrentiel. Le prince occupait le sommet de sa hiérarchie et se situait au cœur des dynamiques internes qui l'animaient. Les techniciens tels que certains des auteurs des ouvrages étudiés devaient se confronter à ce milieu s'ils espéraient faire carrière. Les possibilités d'évolution professionnelle et sociale qui s'ouvraient à eux étaient réelles : les États italiens montrèrent en effet au XVIème siècle un intérêt certain pour les disciplines techniques et proto-scientifiques. Dans ce contexte, la production textuelle représentait un moyen d'action de première importance. Le livre pouvait en effet être conçu comme une monnaie d'échange dans les relations courtisanes, mais aussi comme un succédané à l'action militaire ou comme un moyen efficace pour la promotion des compétences de l'auteur.La deuxième partie de la thèse nous rapproche des textes qui forment le corpus de recherche. Le fait que ces ouvrages traitaient d'affaires militaires représentait un atout dans les cours de la péninsule au XVIème siècle et pouvait leur assurer une réception favorable tout en ouvrant des perspectives de carrière à leurs auteurs. Le premier chapitre de cette partie vise donc à montrer comment était perçue l'utilité de l'art militaire à cette époque. Si la rhétorique faisait de son exaltation un véritable lieu commun, la réalité historique conduisait à un constat unanime : celui de la nécessité urgente pour les États de la Péninsule, qui subirent des échecs cuisants dans la première partie du siècle notamment, d'améliorer l'efficacité de leurs armées. La production d'ouvrages militaires aux finalités didactiques s'encadre, en partie tout du moins, dans ce contexte et répond à la volonté de proposer une instruction militaire plus avancée. La manière dont les auteurs des dialogues étudiés cherchèrent à répondre à ce besoin vital dépendait substantiellement de leur conception de l'art militaire. On en distingue trois principales à cette époque mais toutes préconisent, dans des proportions et selon des modalités différentes, l'union des connaissances théoriques et pratiques. Les hommes de métiers – des membres de l'aristocratie ayant souvent reçu une certaine formation culturelle – revendiquaient la supériorité des savoirs pratiques et critiquaient ceux que l'on appellera les théoriciens purs. Dans leurs ouvrages, ils arrivaient parfois à remettre en cause la pertinence d'une transmission des savoirs militaires par l'écrit. Le paradoxe n'est cependant qu'apparent : la notion clé de l'experimentum – qui peut s'accommoder du support écrit – permet de le résoudre. L'approche de type humaniste, de son côté, relève d'une perspective générale et aristocratique de l'art. Le recours aux auctoritates antiques y est fréquent et les vertus classiques occupent une place de premier ordre. Enfin, les techniciens de la guerre faisaient des mathématiques le fondement essentiel de leur conception de l'art militaire moderne

Abstract:
The present paper aims to identify the main trends and gaps in the digitalization of manufacturing SMEs. The most significant literature on this emergent theme was gathered through a criterion search, resulting in discovering 4060 related documents. To narrow this considerable number of documents, a bibliometric analysis was performed. A database was exported from Clarivates’ Web of Science for clusters analysis in VOSviewer’s software. Afterward, it was possible to identify the top authors and documents. Four trends were identified: one Asian, headed by China; another Anglo-Saxon, led by the USA; and two European trends, run by Italy and Germany. Furthermore, were identified two research gaps: (1) The development of pro-environmental technology and (2) digital readiness models for manufactur-ing SMEs.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Partner violence during pregnancy might contribute to the clinical conditions of pregnant women. Early assessment and supportive response are required to improve clinical diagnosis and subsequent care. This scoping review aimed to identify the partner violence screening practices of community-based health care providers in pregnant women. Subjects and Method: A scoping review method was conducted in eight stages including (1) Identification of study problems; (2) Determining priority problem and study question; (3) Determining framework; (4) Literature searching; (5) Article selec­tion; (6) Critical appraisal; (7) Data extraction; and (8) Mapping. The search included PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO, Wiley Online Library, and ProQuest databases. The inclusion criteria were English-language and full-text articles published between 2010 and 2020. A total of 580 articles were obtained by the searched database. After the review process, eight articles were eligible for this review. The critical appraisal for searched articles were measured by Mix Methods Appraisal Tools (MMAT). The data were reported by the PRISMA flow chart. Results: Two articles from developing countries (Zimbabwe and Kenya) and six articles from developed countries (Australia, Norway, Italy, and Sweden) met the inclusion criteria with a mixed-method, qualitative, and quantitative (cross-sectional) studies. The existing studies revealed that violence screening in pregnant women was effective to increase awareness of violence by their partners. Screening practice had an empowering effect on women to disclose the violence experienced. Barriers to the health care providers performing partner violence screening included: lack of knowledge, experience and training, confidence in undertaking the screening, taboo cultural practices, and absence of domestic violence screening policies. Conclusion: Partner violence screening practice should be strongly considered at antenatal care visits. Further insights of community-based health care providers are required to perform effective screening. Keywords: partner violence screening, pregnant women, health care providers Correspondence: Eviana Maya Saputri. Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta. Jl.

Abstract:
Within the European Project “PROFILES”, a study on science education has been carried out. The opinion of different stakeholders has been taken into account and in Italy almost 200 participants have answered questionnaire concerning several aspects of teaching. The results have shown that scientific literacy should be based mainly on the development of communication skills/personality and on the improvement of intellectual skills. The study has highlighted that approaches judged more effective are not really common in the current educational panorama. Key words: inquiry-based science, science education, PROFILES.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Researchers may conduct scoping reviews instead of systematic reviews where the purpose of thereview is to identify knowledge gaps, scope a body of literature, clarify concepts or to investigate research conduct. While useful in their own right, scoping reviews may also be helpful precursors to systematic reviews and can be used to confirm the relevance of inclusion criteria and potential questions. (Munn et al. BMC Medical Research Methodology (2018) 18:143) The aim of this review is to scope the empirical-based and peer-reviewed European OS research literature and map identified research methods, theories or theoretical concepts, and target groups to obtain a status quo overview of OS research undertaken in Europe between 2015 and 2020. Research questions: • What recent development is seen when mapping the empirical-based and peer-reviewed European OS research literature in accordance with publication volume, publication date and geographical context? • What characterizes the identified research methods, theories or theoretical concepts, and target groups applied in the peer-reviewed OS research literature?

Full text
Abstract:
This paper reports on an illustrative human rights impact assessment (HRIA) of the Italian wine supply chains of Systembolaget, the Swedish monopoly alcohol retailer. The HRIA aimed to evaluate the actual and potential human rights impacts at the production stage of the value chain in Italy, to identify their root causes, and to provide recommendations to relevant stakeholders concerning their prevention, mitigation and/or remediation. The assessment took just over a year and consisted of five phases of analysis using a methodology aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). However, the onset of Italy’s severe first wave of coronavirus in 2020 meant that the assessment team was unable to conduct the field study phase with the full rigour required of an HRIA. The field phase started in September 2019, with an initial assessment phase based on a literature review and a round of stakeholder interviews from September 2019 to March 2020. Further, limited, worker interviews were conducted from October 2020 to January 2021. The result is an illustration of the human rights risks that are present in the areas of Italy from which Systembolaget sources its wine.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this project was to develop an impact framework for the Science Gallery Network (SGN). This work was commissioned by the Science Gallery International (SGI). The SGN has eight member organisations across four continents: Dublin, London, Melbourne, Bengaluru, Detroit, Rotterdam, Atlanta and Berlin. Whilst the network consistently sees unprecedented levels of accomplishment by its members, a testimony to their capacity, innovation and vision, the SGN does not have a systematic way to measure and monitor this impact. An impact framework that can assist with understanding and reporting the value of this impact will provide important recognition that the SGN has achieved what it sets out to do— bringing science, art, technology and design together to deliver world-class educational and cultural experiences for young people. This report details the robust consultation approach that was undertaken by the University of Melbourne’s project team—one that included a desktop review, focus group discussions, surveys and interviews—to ensure multiple perspectives were gathered on what could be considered a multi-faceted concept. The desktop review provided a thorough review and an environmental scan of the impact literature and its measurement. In addition, the focus group discussions and interviews provided a rich understanding of what ‘good impact’ means for the SGN and the implications of this to the measurement of impact outcomes. Five key recommendations are provided and summarised. Note that these key recommendations should be taken as a point of departure for further in-depth consultation throughout the wider SGN.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines science diplomacy in Austria. ZSI was commissioned by the BMBWF between February and September 2021 to research how science diplomacy is currently understood and implemented and how the concept can be better anchored and promoted in Austria. Using literature and desktop research, an online survey, interviews and a focus group, this report answers the following key questions: how does the Austrian science diplomacy ecosystem looks like, who are its actors, what are the challenges and how could they be addressed? The complex task of presenting the current practical implementation of science diplomacy was carried out in this study in a survey that includes more than 150 actors and ranks them according to their importance in the system. Interviews with representatives of these organizations revealed that the term is well known. The actors note that they are already carrying out activities in the direction, and are also interested in intensifying this. However, there are concerns about using the term without a specific context. Accordingly, the concept is often not explicitly mentioned in institutional presentations and activities, and practices are often in other contexts. Furthermore, actors in the system are of course aware of each other, but there is no exchange on the topic of science diplomacy in particular. The corresponding (explicit) competencies and financial resources are lacking. This study also includes case studies that look at other countries' approaches: Perspectives from Japan, Finland, and Switzerland on science diplomacy are described. These and outstanding practices from other countries, as well as interviews and findings from a focus group with Austrian stakeholders, inspire five recommendations that conclude the report.
