Aziende agrarie e fondali di ingresso nell'oristanese tra XVIII e XIX secolo saggio2023 •
Il saggio illustra il valore paesaggistico di alcuni portali sette-ottocenteschi del contado di Oristano, evidenziando lo stretto rapporto tra i caratteri architettonici ed urbanistici, in particolare il ruolo di fondale prospettico in seno alla viabilità agraria.

'The Wild West of England': Enclosure, Stag-hunting, and the Creation of New Popular Perceptions of Exmoor in the Nineteenth Century2025 •
Recent research emphasizes parallels between agrarian enclosure campaigns in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and Ireland, and neo-colonial discourses. Both used the 'wasteful' under-exploitation of land by indigenous populations as moral justifications for its appropriation for capitalist agriculture. Focusing on reclamation campaigns on Exmoor, a former royal forest in southwest England, sold by the Crown in 1818, this article shows how these discourses were displaced by emergent defences of undeveloped 'wildness', advanced in sustained media campaign by advocates of stag hunting. Although they pitted 'wildness' against 'civilised' agriculture, the article argues that this was an alternative discourse of modernity.

Competitiveness is inevitable in highly dynamic and uncertain environments. Business strategy is concerned with how businesses achieve a competitive advantage. Its implementation involves the fit between the organization's business strategy and its internal processes. An appropriate match enhances organizational effectiveness and generates superior performance. A strategic fit between a business strategy and a human resource strategy can help retain and motivate employees and translate into organizational performance and competitive advantage. Based on Porter's generic strategies as business competitive strategies and an extensive literature review, this study proposes and develops three different human resource strategies. We also thoroughly designate three alternatives of reward systems that are suited to each human resource strategy. Through a close linkage among business competitive strategy, human resource strategy, and reward systems, we hope to provide mangers with directions for designing and implementing an appropriate reward systems under various business competitive strategies and help firms to create competitive advantage effectively.

PIPELINE INTEGRITY RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT2007 •
The significance of the risk associated with pipeline rupture caused or partially caused by landslides and other geohazards is becoming increasingly recognized by the pipeline industry. Landslides that affect the integrity of a pipeline are relatively rare events, but typically have a larger consequence than other hazard types (i.e. corrosion, stress corrosion cracking) commonly associated with pipelines. Strain build up in pipelines due to landslide activity can be caused either by a fast event, such as a debris flow, or by slow, continual movements, such as creep. The ultimate goal in pipeline risk assessment and management is understanding the risks involved and the ability to react to a failure prior to rupture. A successful way of completing this goal is to properly identify sites that may represent a geohazard, to visually inspect these sites and to create a cycle of site assessment and management practices based on the site inspections to deal with the risk presented. The cyclic assessment should be dynamic, therefore, always representing and determining the current risk conditions. For the case of slow moving landslides, a review can be scheduled such that mitigation occurs before pipeline rupture. These geohazard risk assessments should feed into an overall pipeline integrity management system allowing for the assessment of all risks to the pipeline. INTRODUCTION Landslides have long been recognised to represent a risk to integrity by pipeline companies, normally lumped into the category of "ground movement" (EUB 1998) with other processes such as settlement and river erosion. As damage done to pipelines by landslides is relatively rare (EUB 1998), the pipeline industry's focus has been on dealing with integrity problems that occur more frequently. As discussed in the following section, recent statistical analyzes (Porter et al. 2004) of the costs of various integrity problems reveals that although landslides are rare, they cost pipeline companies more than any hazard, other than 3 rd Party Damage.
