Introduction: prayer, a brief literature analysis Prayer was for a long time a substantially unknown subject, often considered a superstition, a repetition of empty verbal formulas and therefore not worthy of scientific study. However, it is difficult to deny that it is a primary cultural object and a very common form of behavior. As Wuthnow says: «Our emphasis on prayer stemmed from the fact that ...
Introduction It is thirty years since the first national approach to assessing research quality in a university system was introduced. The pioneer was the United Kingdom, in 1986, within a context where the Thatcher government had an agenda of «value for money» in public services, of containing the autonomy claimed by professionals, and increasing the accountability for the use of public funds. ...
Introduction The structural and functional changes occurring within the Western university systems have been manifold and considerable. However, many of these changes have largely remained dubious and opaque.

Bartoletti Roberta

Critical Nature: Regenerating Human Experience and Society Through Gardening


Introduction Nature and society have traditionally been separate in modernity, where the identity of the latter was founded on the exclusion of the former from its boundaries. This separation is rooted in the history of Christianity and modern science, as well as in the affirmation of both the industrial society and the discipline that was born in the nineteenth century in order to understand its ...
The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has elicited renewed attention to an approach to emergency which has come to the forefront in recent years, namely preparedness. Scholars have argued that its rationale is profoundly divergent from the securitarian outlook of prevention and precaution, entailing different techniques and ostensibly also a different, non – (or less) dominative, way of relating with the biophysical ...

Immigrants and Local Societies. Why and How to Measure Their Integration


Introduction The integration of immigrants into the advanced industrial societies, particularly the European ones, is a matter of current and urgent concern. With regard to Europe, and more specifically the European Union, migration from third countries is a quantitatively important phenomenon involving an increasingly large number of countries, both those that have historically been the destinations ...

In fact, a series of reforms in education and welfare (traced by scholars back to a «global transition regime») implemented over the last three decades have hugely impacted on youth conditions in general and on students’ livelihood and opportunities in particular (Woodman and Wyn 2014; France 2016).
