Cognitive Readiness in Project Teams

Reducing Project Complexity and Increasing Success in Project Management

By: Carl Belack,Daniele Di Filippo,Ivano Di Filippo

Issues surrounding business complexity plague organizations throughout the world. This situation is particularly true of the numerous complex projects and programs upon which organizations embark on a regular basis. Current project management processes and standards are based on Newtonian/Cartesian principles, such as linearity, reductionism, and single source problem causation. However, complex projects exhibit both Newtonian/Cartesian characteristics and complex systems characteristics, such as emergence, self-organization, non-linearity, non-reductionism, and multi-source problem causation. To conduct successful projects, complementary ways of approaching projects are required, and new competencies for those who manage projects and for those on project teams are required as well. There are a number of books available to help project managers and teams address the issue of systems behavior. However, there are none that approach complex projects from a neuroscience-based approach to human behavior and ambiguity. This book does exactly that in order to reduce project complexity and thereby increase the probability of project success. Cognitive Readiness in Project Teams looks to the concept of cognitive readiness (CR), first developed by the United States Department of Defense to better prepare and manage teams of individuals in complex battlefield situations. Its intent is to make project managers and teams more focused, responsive, resilient and adaptive through self-mastery and the mastering of interpersonal relationships. It introduces a CR framework for project managers and teams. This framework has neuroscience fundamentals and theorems as the foundation for the three pillars of CR: mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence. The book is a compendium of chapters written by renowned authors in the fields of project management, neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional and social intelligence.

Italian Science Fiction

The Other in Literature and Film

By: Simone Brioni,Daniele Comberiati

This book explores Italian science fiction from 1861, the year of Italy’s unification, to the present day, focusing on how this genre helped shape notions of Otherness and Normalness. In particular, Italian Science Fiction draws upon critical race studies, postcolonial theory, and feminist studies to explore how migration, colonialism, multiculturalism, and racism have been represented in genre film and literature. Topics include the role of science fiction in constructing a national identity; the representation and self-representation of “alien” immigrants in Italy; the creation of internal “Others,” such as southerners and Roma; the intersections of gender and race discrimination; and Italian science fiction’s transnational dialogue with foreign science fiction. This book reveals that though it is arguably a minor genre in Italy, science fiction offers an innovative interpretive angle for rethinking Italian history and imagining future change in Italian society.

The Concept of Permanent Establishment in the Insurance Business

By: Daniele Frescurato

siness models adopted by insurance companies; and comparative analysis of double tax treaty policies adopted in a number of countries with respect to the permanent establishment provision in the insurance business, highlighting Switzerland for comparative purposes. In a concluding chapter, the author proposes changes to the definition of the dependent agent permanent establishment currently enshrined in the model treaties and their respective commentaries, aligning such a definition to the regulatory framework in which insurance companies conduct their business in countries other than that of incorporation. As a highly significant and timely contribution to the study of the interplay between insurance regulation and tax implications, this very original work will prove of especial value to practitioners in international tax and insurance law, as well as professionals in the financial services sector and tax academics.

Utopia and Dystopia in Postwar Italian Literature

Pasolini, Calvino, Sanguineti, Volponi

By: Daniele Fioretti

This book is about the presence of utopian and dystopian elements in the Italian literary landscape. It focuses on four authors that are representatives of the various positions in the Italian cultural debate: Pasolini, Calvino, Sanguineti, and Volponi. What did concepts like utopia and dystopia mean for these authors? Is it possible to separate utopia from dystopia? What is the role of science fiction in this debate? This book answers these questions, proposing an original interpretation of utopia and of the social role of literature. The book also takes into consideration four of the most influential literary journals in Italy: Officina, il menabò, il verri, and Nuovi Argomenti, that played a central role in the cultural and political debate on utopia in Italy.

Flood Proofing in Urban Areas

By: Daniele Fabrizio Bignami,Renzo Rosso,Umberto Sanfilippo

Flood control in urban areas can be feasibly and cost-effectively enhanced by implementing flood proofing approaches to risk reduction in the context of environmental and land-use planning and management. Indeed, flood proofing makes it possible to improve, integrate and in some cases even replace traditional measures for flood control, reducing the vulnerability and increasing the resilience of buildings and infrastructures. This book begins by reviewing the physics of stability and instability of both human beings and buildings under flood conditions, together with criteria and models (both conventional and innovative) for assessing flood strains. In turn, it presents a range of flood proofing concepts and techniques, together with a complete and updated classification of related methods and devices. This provides a user-friendly tool to help identify appropriate solutions to real-world problems for each specific risk scenario. In particular, the book focuses on temporary flood proofing techniques, given their ability to deliver effective performance at low costs. Lastly, it features an overview of norms, guidelines and laboratory recommendations that are currently being adopted in various countries with regard to flood proofing devices and testing procedures. The purpose of this book is essentially to encourage authorities, stakeholders, technicians and end users to successfully develop flood proofing solutions that can reduce flood risk in a pragmatic manner. In addition, the authors hope to inspire researchers, manufacturers and designers (engineers, architects, urban planners and urban managers) to pursue further advances in this key sector of public and private safety in urban areas.

The Global Commonwealth of Citizens

Toward Cosmopolitan Democracy

By: Daniele Archibugi

The Global Commonwealth of Citizens critically examines the prospects for cosmopolitan democracy as a viable and humane response to the challenges of globalization. Arising after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the decisive affirmation of Western-style democracy, cosmopolitan democracy envisions a world politics in which democratic participation by citizens is not constrained by national borders, and where democracy spreads through dialogue and incentives, not coercion and war. This is an incisive and thought-provoking book by one of the world's leading proponents of cosmopolitan democracy. Daniele Archibugi looks at all aspects of cosmopolitan democracy in theory and practice. Is democracy beyond nation-states feasible? Is it possible to inform global governance with democratic norms and values, and if so, how? Archibugi carefully answers questions like these and forcefully responds to skeptics and critics. He argues that democracy can be extended to the global political arena by strengthening and reforming existing international organizations and creating new ones, and he calls for dramatic changes in the foreign policies of nations to make them compatible with global public interests. Archibugi advocates giving voice to new global players such as social movements, cultural communities, and minorities. He proposes building institutional channels across borders to address common problems, and encourages democratic governance at the local, national, regional, and global levels. The Global Commonwealth of Citizens is an accessible introduction to the subject that will be of interest to students and scholars in political science, international relations, international law, and human rights.

Knowledge forbidden to humanity

The energy of life that man must not have

By: Daniele Villa

A one-of-a-kind book that will forever change the way those who read it see the world! On the trail of a mysterious energy hidden from humanity, in search of clues that prove its existence, unexpected revelations are discovered that could also explain the functioning of architectures of the past that were never understood. A one-of-a-kind book! On the trail of a mysterious energy hidden from humanity, in search of clues that prove its existence, unexpected revelations are discovered that could also explain the functioning of architectures of the past that were never understood. From Castel del Monte in Italy to the Sardinian Nuraghi, passing through the Great Pyramid to Stonehenge, new theories revealed for the first time in the world. What did Ettore Majorana, Wilhelm Reich, Pierluigi Ighina, Nikola Tesla have in common? Mythologies of the past from Atlantis to Greece, biblical stories and declassified top secret documents. Real events hidden from humanity. Everything incredibly leads back to the same track. Mysterious energetic forces surround and feed what is found in the universe, passing a large amount of knowledge to the different peoples who have welcomed and exploited them since ancient times. Alignments, high intensity zones, UFOs, powerful weapons, space travel, time and science fiction movie situations. Yet there are proofs and traces that everything existed, even if the truths of these energies have always been hidden, so as not to allow humanity to take possession of them. If you knew how to use them, would life on Earth have a better end? Man must know. Translator: Nevia Ferrara PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

I giocatori siciliani 1500-1975

By: Santo Daniele Spina

Questo libro nasce dall'idea di fornire sia ai lettori appassionati di storia degli scacchi sia agli studiosi specialisti uno strumento di consultazione rapido ed efficace, vale a dire un indice bio-bibliografico degli scacchisti attivi in Sicilia dal 1500 fino al 1975. La chiave che ho privilegiato è l'attività scacchistica documentata in tale ambito geografico a prescindere dal luogo di nascita dello scacchista. Per questo criterio si spiega la presenza di scacchisti sia siciliani, sia italiani ma non siciliani, sia stranieri ma residenti per un certo arco di tempo o in modo permanente in Sicilia.

Michele Sce's Works in Hypercomplex Analysis

A Translation with Commentaries

By: Fabrizio Colombo,Irene Sabadini,Daniele C. Struppa

This book presents English translations of Michele Sce’s most important works, originally written in Italian during the period 1955-1973, on hypercomplex analysis and algebras of hypercomplex numbers. Despite their importance, these works are not very well known in the mathematics community because of the language they were published in. Possibly the most remarkable instance is the so-called Fueter-Sce mapping theorem, which is a cornerstone of modern hypercomplex analysis, and is not yet understood in its full generality. This volume is dedicated to revealing and describing the framework Sce worked in, at an exciting time when the various generalizations of complex analysis in one variable were still in their infancy. In addition to faithfully translating Sce’s papers, the authors discuss their significance and explain their connections to contemporary research in hypercomplex analysis. They also discuss many concrete examples that can serve as a basis for further research. The vast majority of the results presented here will be new to readers, allowing them to finally access the original sources with the benefit of comments from fellow mathematicians active in the field of hypercomplex analysis. As such, the book offers not only an important chapter in the history of hypercomplex analysis, but also a roadmap for further exciting research in the field.

MEET the meeting model

Art and science of meeting successfully - Leaders’ toolkit for successful meetings

By: DANIELE DAVI'

How can a book about effective and efficient meetings be life changing? If you spend a considerable part of your life in meetings and they are unsatisfactory or frustrating, that will impact the quality of your time. Every day. Every time. Time is money. Time is limited. Time is the most expensive currency and it can’t be traded. Time is your life passing by. Most of the time meetings are unnecessary or boring. One big issue in current workplaces is that most of the people are not trained to organize successful meetings. Another big issue is that most attendees do not know how to approach a meeting and how to participate to produce a valuable output. Meetings are broken and no one seems to know why or how to fix them. Learning how to improve the quality of collaborative moments is more sustainable and pays better in the long-term. The MEET model for successful meetings, defined and explained in this book, provides the needed shift of paradigm and a wide range of tools, principles, and techniques to organize and attend meetings achieving more results in less time. What you will get from this book? After reading this book, you will be more conscious of how you are spending your precious time. Using the MEET (Motivational, Effective, Efficient, Transformational) meeting model, you will have tools to improve the quality of your time and your life before, during and after meetings. Use time well when alone (avoiding meetings) and when with others (participating in meeting) achieving your goals, faster. Successful meetings are effective and efficient. Having successful meetings is a habit that can be incept, practiced and built up. When success becomes a habit and you have a strong motivation to do what you do and you keep yourself open to transformation, then what you get is more than just success. You can achieve a fulfilling life! This book is a practical toolkit talking to different audiences at different levels: meeting organizers and attendees, team facilitators and coaches, people managers and business leaders. This book defines the MEET meeting model and collects over 20 years of personal and professional observations, expertise, reflections, practices, tools, techniques, workshops notes. I am sharing them so that everyone can get valuable time back and more enjoyment, success, happiness, fulfillment in their life. The book also contains 4 appendices with handy checklists for meeting facilitators, organizers and attendees, exercises and scenarios for training sessions, template of agenda.

Populists in Power

By: Daniele Albertazzi,Duncan McDonnell

The main area of sustained populist growth in recent decades has been Western Europe, where populist parties have not only endured longer than expected, but have increasingly begun to enter government. Focusing on three high-profile cases in Italy and Switzerland – the Popolo della Libertà (PDL), Lega Nord (LN) and Schweizerische Volkspartei (SVP) – Populists in Power is the first in-depth comparative study to examine whether these parties are indeed doomed to failure in office as many commentators have claimed. Albertazzi and McDonnell’s findings run contrary to much of the received wisdom. Based on extensive original research and fieldwork, they show that populist parties can be built to last, can achieve key policy victories and can survive the experience of government, without losing the support of either the voters or those within their parties. Contributing a new perspective to studies in populist politics, Populists in Power is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as scholars interested in modern government, parties and politics.

Gli scacchi a Catania alla fine dell’Ottocento

By: Santo Daniele Spina

Il libro, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1996, è stato ristampato in conformità all'impaginazione originale, dopo un'attenta revisione formale e l'aggiunta di un ampio abstract in inglese, per fornire agli studiosi e ai collezionisti la possibilità di reperire più facilmente un'opera divenuta ormai rara, allorché fu edita in proprio in un numero molto limitato di copie. Alessandro Sanvito, insigne storico degli scacchi, che ne curò la presentazione, ebbe allora a scrivere: "l'autore coglie nell'attività scacchistica del tardo Ottocento nella città etnea, il significato culturale che lo sottintende: è semplicemente il background della Sicilia, che conobbe gli scacchi assai prima di tutte le altre regioni d'Italia, invisibile e impalpabile della feconda anima del Sud". L'opera poi ebbe lusinghiere recensioni sia in lingua italiana che in inglese.

Gli scacchi a Catania e provincia alla fine dell’Ottocento

By: Santo Daniele Spina

Il percorso della mostra Gli scacchi a Catania e provincia alla fine dell'Ottocento parte dall'illustrazione dell'attività scacchistica del sacerdote don Pietro Carrera, autore del trattato del 1617. Poi si passa alle notizie relative alla fondazione del Circolo Scacchistico Catanese sullo scorcio del 1895 e agli scacchisti catanesi dell'Ottocento: avvocati, professori, commercianti, banchieri, farmacisti, floricoltori. Pare che dalla Torre Alessi, opera del Sada demolita nel maggio del 1963, si giocasse a scacchi "per corrispondenza" tramite piccioni viaggiatori. Il Prof. Santo Daniele Spina, ideatore e curatore della mostra, ha utilizzato il gioco degli scacchi al fine della ricostruzione storica dello sfondo culturale cittadino che sottintende il gioco dei Re e con tale chiave di lettura ha gettato luce su due categorie sociali: nobiltà e alta-borghesia attive a Catania e provincia alla fine dell'Ottocento.
