The article deals with the management system of state archives in modern Italy. Research has proven the value of archives among other cultural sites, as archives are an important part of national identity. In practice, effective public administration and effective administration is the lifeblood of public authorities through the storage of relevant documents. In addition, the article covers the management functions, tasks and roles of the Italian state archives. Therefore, the final result can be assessed for the optimization of all types of public and private archival institutions. In particular, archives are analyzed not as documents, but as institutions and offices with a complex organization. An overview of Italian regulation and their characteristics in relation to territorial forms will be associated with a comparative study of the international scenario to illustrate the current bad and best practices of archival management. Archival management is an unexplored field, if not completely ignored in the Italian literature. The study allows the author to highlight best practices and develop internal management guidelines that apply to various archival institutions throughout Italy. In addition, research shows how archival institutions are able to optimize internal management through the application of project management methods, the constant growth and development of training.

<p>Urban Resilience represents the capability of an urban system to preserve its features (in terms of public and private qualities and services) when shock events occur [1]. This topic is receiving an increasing interest for the climate change emergency which require innovative strategies for preserving the natural and anthropic resources present in the subsoil. In this framework, the Urban Geophysics could give a strong contribution to improving the knowledge of the critical issues affecting urban area [2].</p><p>One of the most interesting challenges is represented by the detection of ground collapse phenomena that can hardly reduce the safety and reliability of civil structures and infrastructures, as clearly demonstrated by the ground occurred in the Ospedale del Mare car park (Naples, Italy) [3] during the COVID-19 emergency that has brought the light on the weakness of the planning processes of the public authorities when fast decisions are required. Indeed, decision making in urban planning can be effectively supported by rational and reasoned use of the geophysical technologies able to reduce the risks imputable to the activities and decision required by the emergency planning in urban contexts.</p><p>This work focuses its attention on the capability of geophysical methodologies to detect, characterize and monitoring the presence of buried sinkholes, collapses, voids within the subsoil able to cause severe structural stability problems with rapid and non-invasive applications based on the use of Ground Penetrating Radar and Electrical Resistivity Tomographies. The studied cases showed how the cooperative use of the geoelectrical and electromagnetic methods can identify and monitor potential risks of collapses highlighting the pros and cons of the two techniques in terms of resolution and depth of study.</p><p> </p><p>REFERENCES</p><p>[1] Lapenna V.

The Relationship

The article is devoted to the search for optimal solutions for building the relationship between public and private archives. The author acknowledges that the documents formed in the activities of private organizations have value and are subject to permanent storage for future generations. However, it is impossible to keep all the documentation, therefore, when selecting documents for permanent storage, it is necessary to take into account the principles and criteria for disposal developed by archival science, to apply them in a complex and creatively. When organizing work with private archives and accepting their documents in state archives, it is necessary to proceed from the property of the documents and, depending on the established legal relations and the value of documents of specific organizations, apply different approaches.

Cultural Sector

The cultural sector is made of a variety of firms (both public and private) whose primary economic value derives from their cultural value (Flin, Mearns, O'Connor, & Bryden, 2000). The focus in this chapter is on the organizations that manage cultural sites, with a specific attention to the interactions between cultural sector and tourism industry. Nowadays, the competitive environment is more and more complex, owing to the globalization as well as to the interactions of this sector with others, so the cultural actors have to enrich their cultural offer in order to meet customers' needs effectively and efficiently. For this reason, innovation is acquiring a crucial role in a marketing approach for cultural firms in order to promote and distribute value through their offers. Managers of cultural firms are generally oriented to the preservation rather then to the promotion and valorization of cultural resources. Innovation, in its different perspectives, can be the key component for the creation of a new approach in the offer of cultural products, aiming at catching external opportunities through a continuous, interactive and innovative relationship with all the actors of the destination in order to gain sustainable competitive advantage.

<p>Through satellites, ships, radars, and weather models, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) generates and handles tens of terabytes of data per day. Many of NOAA’s key datasets have been made available to the public through partnerships with Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and more as part of the Big Data Project (BDP). This movement of data to the Cloud has enabled access for researchers from all over the world to vast amounts of NOAA data, initiating a new form of federal data management as well as exposing key challenges for the future of open-access data. NOAA researchers have run into challenges of providing “analysis-ready” datasets to which researchers from varying fields can easily access, manipulate, and use for different purposes. This issue arises as there is no agreed-upon format or method of transforming traditional datasets for the cloud across research communities, with each scientific field or start up expressing differing data formatting needs (cloud-optimized, cloud-native, etc.). Some possible solutions involve changing data formats into those widely-used throughout the visualization community, such as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF. Initial findings have led NOAA to facilitate roundtable discussions with researchers, public and private stakeholders, and other key members of the data community, to encourage the development of best practices for the use of public data on commercial cloud platforms. Overall, by uploading NOAA data to the Cloud, the BDP has led to the recognition and ongoing development of new best practices for data authentication and dissemination and the identification of key areas for targeting collaboration and data use across scientific communities.</p>

The joint position of civil and administrative law specialists concerning an opportunity and need to obtain by public law subjects of the juridical person status is presented in this article. Public entity is a civil law subject, but it is presented by its public bodies. Considering features of public authorities as juridical person, authors draw the conclusion about a secondary role of a civil status. The article suggests new classification of administrative law subjects for public and private subjects depending on their role in public administration. The category of the juridical person of public law could be useful to settle the problem of the state “double face” in private relations. At the same time the authors call attention to various and ambiguous prospects of the Russian legislation development in this concept should be employed. The authors have formulated the principle of correct adoption according to which traditional civil concepts have to be accepted by public law in their initial understanding, without distortions, and vice versa.

The conduct of this study came in the backdrop of thinking of the need for opening a discussion for a more comprehensive and contextual concept of whistleblowing  for Indonesia from the vantage point of existing theoretical perspectives, regulations and practices. There is a lot of misunderstanding and bias about the concept of whistleblowing in public and private organizations in Indonesia. This study is largely based on previous literature and observation of the implementation of whistleblowing system (WBS) in several institutions that the author considered credible enough to be best practices. The study used descriptive qualitative approach and used various reference sources that were drawn from library research. This research has produced several formulations. First, the synonym or equivalent phrase in the Indonesian language for the term whistleblower is Pengungkap dugaan kecurangan, (revealer of alleged fraud) and Pengungkap dugaan pelanggaraan (revealer of alleged violation) or Pengungkap dugaan perbuatan tidak benar (wrongdoing) (revealer of alleged wrongdoing). Secondly, the most appropriate equivalence to the phrase whistleblowing system (WBS) in the context of Indonesia is “Sistem Pengungkapan Dugaan Pelanggaran” (alleged violation disclosure system). Third, the object of the report or complaints of whistleblowing (wrongdoing) is classifying into seventeen types of behavior that are in turn categorized into seven groups. WBS development and implementation in a number of government and private sector institutions emphasize seven key points. Research findings fill a mainstream research gap on whistleblowing in  Indonesia, which has for long been plagued by misunderstanding  between  WBS and  complaints handling system that is evident in several institutions and  government agencies in Indonesia. The expectation is that research results will make some contribution to government policy making in the realm of whistleblowing system by providing a definition that is in line with the initial conception of the concept of whistleblowing. That way, this research is expected to contribute to the development of a more effective policy and WBS that not only protects the whistleblower but also pays attention ethics, culture, and local context in Indonesia which are different from the countries where the concept of whistleblowing had its origins.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are employed in many countries as an alternative method of public service provision in which partners from the public and private sectors share their resources, responsibilities, and risks.  Some well-justified factors that drive the partnership development are value for money and lack of budget funding.  As PPP drivers may be unique, thepaper surveys the reasons for PPP expansion in two transitional countries, Kazakhstan and Russia.  Based on detailed discussion of the commonly employed reasons for partnering (such as greater value for money, or lower total social cost associated with a PPP as opposed to contracting out a service), internal and external PPP drivers in Kazakhstan and Russia have been categorized and examined.  Among internal drivers, the need to attract private initiative and funding for upgrading the utilities and housing infrastructure is most influential because of enormity of the task for which governments lack resources.  The countries’ intention to align themselves with the requirements of perceived international best practices is yet additional influential driver of external nature.  The paper concludes that public policy in the two countries is the major driving force for PPP development although the value for money concept and transaction cost economics appear to be neglected.  The emerging PPP policy paradigm in Kazakhstan and Russia has facilitated PPP development in recent years, since 2005.  However, lack of reliable solutions and instruments for PPP formation and implementation significantly slows down PPP expansion.

Italy is a country with high seismic hazard, however since the delay in the seismic classification of the national territory, most of the existing building heritage does not comply with the current technical standards for buildings. The seismic events that have hit different Italian regions in recent years have highlighted the complexity of the challenge for the public bodies both in the emergency management and post-event reconstruction and in the planning of effective risk prevention and mitigation measures to be implemented in ‘peacetime’. These difficulties concern, in particular, the capacity to properly manage the financial and technical resources available and to identify the intervention priorities throughout the entire emergency cycle. For correct management, the priority is to quantify and localize, through simulations, the quantification of probable damages and to evaluate in terms of cost-benefits the possible alternative strategies for mitigation, also taking into account the potential, in terms of cost-effectiveness, of integrated measures for seismic and energy retrofitting. In this framework, the project CAESAR II (Complementary Analyses for Emergency planning based on Seismic Risks impact evaluations) has been developed as a Decision Support System for Public Authorities in charge of developing Disaster Risk Reduction plans, with the possibility of programming mid to long-term investments for public and private properties, as well as defining custom financial support mechanisms and tax incentives.

BACKGROUND: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as an unprecedented challenge for public and private life, and healthcare systems worldwide. African, Caribbean, and Black communities (ACB) represent some of the most vulnerable populations in terms of their susceptibility to health hazards, difficulty receiving adequate health care and relatively lower chances of recovery. OBJECTIVES: The main aim of this study is to improve the health system’s response during and after the COVID-19 pandemic by developing evidence-based models to inform policy and collaborative best practices to mitigate its spread and ameliorate related health consequences in vulnerable communities. METHODS: This is a mixed-method, multisite study based in Ottawa and Toronto that will involve in-depth qualitative interviews and surveys using a structured questionnaire. Data will be analyzed using NVivo for qualitative interviews, Stata 16 and IBM SPSS version 26 for statistical analyses. DISCUSSION: The findings of this study gained from highly professional health practitioners will produce strong evidence on current gaps in knowledge and practice in the healthcare system’s capacity to meet the health needs of ACB population. The distinct insights and perspectives will be disseminated with policymakers and researchers at all levels which will facilitate strategic policy making with the goal of addressing the unique challenges for health
