For this specific geographical-administrative area, we have considered aspects and problems relating to the rural landscape, the forms of production and the role of cities, through the reinterpretation of different types of evidence (primarily literary and documentary sources) on the basis of the theoretical assumption that there is a close correlation between population, resource exploitation and urbanization Il volume trae spunto dalle relazioni discusse nel Convegno Territorio, popolazione e risorse: strutture produttive nell’economia del mondo romano, organizzato a Napoli il 26 ottobre 2018; rappresenta il risultato di un progetto di ricerca inteso ad analizzare l’evoluzione economica, politica e sociale del territorio italico, principalmente della regio I, in epoca romana. …”

More than 65 nuclear reactors around the world (about 15% of the total) with decades of experience demonstrate on a daily basis the feasibility of providing non-electric applications of nuclear energy such as district heating, desalination or other forms of process heat. …”

“…However, given the differences in the institutional setting across countries, adjusting key framework conditions can allow training firms to generate a sufficiently high return on their training investments. The main parameters affecting the cost–benefit ratio are apprentice wages, amount of training provided at the workplace, apprenticeship duration, and the manner in which firms integrate apprentices into the production process (to perform both skilled and unskilled tasks). …”

“…In all countries, environmentally-related permits work together with environmental assessments to ensure that environmental considerations are taken into account in the siting of industrial installations and mega-infrastructure projects that would have significant impacts on the environment. The main challenges associated with environmental assessment in most countries include the political nature of the assessment process, the cost (time and money) of assessment particularly to businesses, limited consultation periods, limited technical capacity of institutions, the endeavour for independence and quality of the assessment and the absence of robust legislative frameworks…”

“…It concludes with a review of the links between a possible correction of housing prices and real activity. The main highlights from this analysis are as follows: 1) The size and duration of the current real house price increases; the degree to which they have tended to move together across countries; and the extent to which they have disconnected from the business cycle are unprecedented. 2) Overvaluation of real house prices may only apply to a relatively small number of countries. …”
