Policy Modelling and Evaluation: development of a multi-criteria simulative framework for modeling and evaluation of policies (policies) in the public and private sectors, targeting different application areas: transportation, energy, industry, digital, circular and rural economy

Start date: 17/10/2019

Socio-economic systems, critical infrastructure (transportation, energy, etc.) and modern economic systems (digital economy, circular economy, etc.) are complex dynamic systems often associated with uncertain behavior. Indeed, the behavior of such systems is influenced by different types of uncertainty, nonlinear relationships among the characterizing variables, lags, to feedback loops that are implicit and characteristic of the systems themselves. Under these assumptions, it is important to develop systems analysis approaches that can be used to develop and evaluate system policies (policy), both at the tactical and strategic levels. The objective of this research is to develop a multi-criteria simulative framework, based on System Dynamics (SD) and Dynamic Network Analysis (DNA), for modeling and evaluating policies (policies) in the public and private spheres, targeting different application areas: transportation, energy, industry, digital, circular and rural economy.

Media e terrorismi. L’impatto della comunicazione e delle reti digitali sull’insicurezza percepita

Start date: 01/11/2018

Since September 11, 2001, the media have become one of the main narrators of terrorism, and often their narratives, by stoking fear, have helped to influence the public's sense of perceived insecurity and consequently also some political choices. Starting from these premises, the research project aims to study the strategic role that communicative narratives of terrorism play in shaping public opinion, both of citizens and political-institutional actors. The researcher, in close collaboration with the scientific director of the research, will be expected to participate in the retrieval and analysis of data and to support all phases of the dissemination of the research findings, taking care in particular of the organization of national and international scientific conferences and public events specifically dedicated to the topic.

Ottimizzazione e impatto ambientale dei processi di conversione dell’energia

Start date: 01/06/2018

The needs that have emerged from the regulations on the exhausts of internal combustion engines, aimed at guaranteeing health and an environmentally sustainable and environmentally friendly exploitation of energy resources, derived from oil and renewable sources, are directing the automotive sector towards the development of engines with reduced environmental impact and high energy efficiency. Energy management-which is a major aspect of the impact human activities have on the environment-now requires careful study from both plant engineering and process optimization perspectives. The objective of the research is to further study and analyze the performance and emissions in a gasoline direct injection engine. The mixture formation processes in the combustion chamber are related to both the production of particulate exhaust emissions into the atmosphere and the occurrence of abnormal combustion. Indeed, abnormal combustions turn out to be strictly restrictive to the energy efficiency of an engine. This research project also aims to generate knowledge on the study of parameters affecting the phenomenon of detonation in gasoline direct injection engines.

Rischio Cyber: normativa e metodologie di modellazione e simulazione per determinarne costo ed impatti nella Governance delle PA e delle PMI

Start date: 21/05/2018

The relentless increase in the digitization of business processes and the need for an ever-increasing level of collaboration-sharing-networking of production modes, coupled with the globalization and "commercialization" of cyber-crime, have driven an increased frequency and severity of cyber incidents and data breaches, through increasingly sophisticated ways of executing attacks targeting companies' information capital. The objective of the research is to analyze the new European legislation in the area of Cyber security in order to provide the tools for PAs and SMEs to be able to adapt to this legislation, as well as to develop qualitative and quantitative models, through the methodology of System Dynamics, to assess, also offering an estimate in terms of cost, and prevent possible cyber attacks.

 

Proposta per un approccio metodologico slow starting e mini-invasivo nella transizione da wise city a smart city

Start date: 01/02/2018

Wanting to abstract from individual point technology problems in favor of a coarse-grained view of functional interdependencies (sky-level approach), it would be arduous to devote ourselves to the design of a smart city without finally visualizing the implementation process as the ultimate instance of a complex development in a two-dimensional reality: - A "horizontal" development of the project, comprising a subdivision into consequential phases in the time domain with absolute preemption for all useful activities to optimize ROI, in order to minimize the initial investment and reintroduce in later scheduled phases the profits produced; - A "vertical" development of the project, aimed at subdividing the interventions into a stack of overlapping layers, capable of sharing in real time information useful for decision making through a dedicated infrastructure. The required layers, although variable in quantity, should not disregard the following: o Natural Resource Management; o Intelligent Transportation and Energy Efficiency; o Integrated Waste Cycle. A methodologically rigorous and timely approach will be pursued on the pivotal elements of both developments.

 

Strategie politiche energetiche e cambiamento climatico

Start date: 01/02/2018

Policies responding to climate change will have an increasing impact on the development of the energy sector nationally and internationally. Thus, the need arises to study and develop a new approach to decision making and governance of the energy sector by promoting synergies among energy, environmental and climate policies that help address issues related to the de-carbonization process through an in-depth analysis of national and international issues related to the energy-climate pair. The objectives of the research are as follows: 1) Synergistic study of energy, environmental and climate policies and assessment of the interdependencies of these areas with other areas such as technological innovation, sustainable development (circular economy, green finance and green taxtation) and the translation of mitigation scenarios into greenhouse gas emission reductions. 2) Analyze and compare methods and technologies from the natural and engineering sciences to support analysis for assessing the aggregate impact of specific actions and policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., Climate Change Policy Simulator, System Dynamics).

Comizi d’amore. Il cinema e la questione sessuale in Italia (1948-1978)

Start date: 02/05/2017

The project has a twofold purpose. On the one hand, it studies how sexuality found representation in Italian cinema in the period between 1948 (the date of the first elections of the new Republic that handed the government of the country to the DC for over forty years) and 1978 (the date that saw the opening in Italy of the first theaters intended for the screening of pornographic film). On the other it investigates the discourses produced in Italy on sexuality as it has been specifically addressed by cinema, primarily Italian but not only. The analysis of the ways in which cinema has represented the sexual question will therefore be contextualized in the broader sphere of discourses on the relationship between cinema and sexuality, which the project intends to reconstruct through archival investigation and the perusal of newspapers and magazines.

Multi-scale approach to Smart Materials

Start date: 01/06/2014

The smart materials are materials that possess the ability to adapt to external stimuli: they react to changes in their environment by modifying one or more of their properties (mechanical, optical, electrical, magnetic, chemical or thermal). Self-healing materials, composite materials, nanotechnologies and intelligent polymers represent product innovation that will have a major impact on issues such as greater energy efficiency, fashion and made in Italy, sustainability and safety, driving fundamental research in the direction of intelligent materials. The research project investigates the latest technologies and methodologies that are emerging in the study and design of intelligent materials applied to engineering design. The project will favour the development of a multiscale analysis that provides basic information useful for the application of intelligent materials in everyday use. Starting with a chemical-physical study at the nanoscopic level to improve the physical understanding of smart material systems, it will then proceed to a macroscopic analysis to design new functionalities and 'smart structures'. The aim is to formulate feasible design solutions that increase the deployment of such materials.
