We present a problem motivated by discussions with Colombian e-commerce platforms for agri-food products. In regular time intervals (periods), the platforms collect groceries from local farmers and stores them at a warehouse to distribute them to local customers. The supply quantities and prices per farmer and the cumulated customer demand can change from period to period. Thus, there is value in purchasing more than needed in one period to exploit cheap prices and consolidation opportunities, to hedge against future uncertainty, and to save routing cost in future periods. A careful balance between too much and not enough inventory needs to be found, especially, since inventory perishes over time. The resulting optimization problem is a stochastic dynamic multi-period routing problem with inventory and purchasing decisions. The decision space of the problem is vast as it combines purchasing, inventory, and routing decisions. Further, the value of a decisions is unknown since it depends on future developments and decisions. We propose solving the problem with a stochastic lookahead method. In every state, the method samples a set of future realizations and solves the resulting two-stage stochastic program. To cope with the complex decision space in first and second stage, we propose a "soft" decomposition where the inventory and purchasing decision are fully considered, but the routing decisions are simplified and their cost is approximated via a cost function approximation. As the routing cost also depends on future decisions, the approximated cost are learned iteratively via repeated simulation and adaption of the lookahead. We show that our method outperforms a large number of benchmark policies for a variety of instances. We further analyze the functionality of our method and investigate variation in the problem dimensions in a comprehensive analysis.

The period of political terrorism named the "Years of Lead" ( Anni di Piombo) started in Italy at the end of the 1960s and lasted until the late 1980s. The social wounds of this bloody time are still not healed, and there is a social debate about the opportunity to concede forgiveness to those responsible for those crimes. Drawing from the intergroup forgiveness literature, we tested a model explaining under which conditions forgiveness towards terrorists could be supported by Italian citizens. The model was tested in two generations: 331 Italian citizens who were adolescents or adults during the terrorism period and 208 Italian young adults born after the end of the Years of Lead. Findings showed that restorative justice beliefs and sociocognitive variables, like outgroup empathy and trust, were uniquely linked to forgiveness towards the terrorists.
This paper is part of a project based on a broad data collection of policies in selected countries, with a special focus on the attraction of foreign R&D investments. The purpose of the research is to contribute to effective policy-making, capable of fostering multinational corporations' (MNCs) investments in Brazil. In this context, the paper aims at identifying and examining the main policies to attract MNC technological activities in China, India, Ireland, Israel, Singapore, and Taiwan, in order to illustrate successful experiences and, based on them, to analyse the Brazilian case. The experiences and, based on them, to analyse the Brazilian case.
In this prospective study, we tested a structural model in which adolescents' perceived self‐efficacy to manage parental relationships affected their satisfaction with family life both directly, and indirectly, through its impact on family practices. Findings based on 380 Italian adolescents showed that perceived filial self‐efficacy was linked directly and indirectly to satisfaction with family life, and that these relations held both concurrently and longitudinally. In particular, the greater adolescents perceived their self‐efficacy, the more they reported open communication with their parents, the more accepting they were of their parents' monitoring of their own activities outside the home and the less inclined they were to get into escalative discord over disagreements. Regardless of whether perceived filial self‐efficacy was placed in the conceptual structure as a contributor to the quality of family interactions or as a partial product of family functioning, it consistently predicted satisfaction with family life.
In the Mediterranean, habitat-forming corals often characterize essential fish habitats. While their distribution is sufficiently known for the western basin, few data are available from the Central-Eastern Mediterranean Sea (CEM). This study fills this gap supplying the largest dataset ever built on the geographical and bathymetric distribution of the most relevant habitat-forming corals (Eunicella cavolini, Eunicella verrucosa, Eunicella singularis, Leptogorgia sarmentosa, Paramuricea clavata, Corallium rubrum and Savalia savaglia) of the CEM. Information collected from different sources such as literature, citizen science, and from the World Wide Web (WWW) was combined. Videos published on the WWW provided additional information on the presence of fishing lines and signs of damage, as well as on the distribution of purple and yellow-purple colonies of Paramuricea clavata. The study highlighted the impressive amount of information that the WWW can offer to scientists, termed here as Web Ecological Knowledge (WEK). The WEK is constantly fuelled by internauts, representing a free, refreshable, long-term exploitable reservoir of information. A quick and easy method to retrieve data from the WWW was illustrated. In addition, the distribution of corals was overlapped to marine protected areas and to the distribution of environmental conditions suitable for coralligenous habitats, fragile biogenic Mediterranean structures hosting complex assemblages in need of strict protection. The collected data allowed identifying priority areas with high species diversity and sites that are impacted by fishing activities. Supplied data can correctly address conservation and restoration policies in the CEM, adding an important contribution to ecosystem-based marine spatial planning. ; This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Biodiversity and Conservation on 23 December 2017 (First Online).

Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar e interpretar as percepções apresentadas por alunos de um Curso de Graduação de Enfermagem após o estágio de Saúde Mental. Foram gravadas 12 entrevistas com acadêmicos de Enfermagem da Faculdade da Fundação ABC - Santo André, São Paulo, Brasil, em agosto de 2004, utilizando-se de roteiro semi-estruturado. Por meio da Análise de Conteúdo, modalidade temática, foram identificadas quatro categorias: 1. saúde mental: proporcionando a compreensão do outro; 2. respeito pelo humano: a importância de ouvir; 3. saúde mental: contribuindo para uma visão contextualizada do paciente e 4. graduação em enfermagem: "sinais e sintomas" indesejáveis da profissão. A análise e a discussão dessas categorias representaram o vislumbramento da possibilidade de um ensino pautado na condição humana. Dessa forma, defende-se, aqui, a idéia de que novos estudos devam ser realizados, mas já considerando que a disciplina Saúde Mental deve ser valorizada nos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos dos Cursos de Graduação em Enfermagem. ; Los objetivos de este estudio fueron identificar e interpretar las percepciones de los alumnos de Graduación de Enfermería posteriores a las prácticas de Salud Mental. Fueron grabadas 12 entrevistas con alumnos de Enfermería de la Facultad de la Fundación ABC - Santo André, São Paulo, Brasil, en agosto de 2004, utilizándose para ello, una guía semi-estructurada. El Análisis de Contenido, en su modalidad temática fue empleada para la identificación de cuatro categorías temáticas: 1. salud mental: proporcionando la comprensión del otro; 2. respeto por lo humano: la importancia de escuchar; 3. salud mental: contribución en la visión en el contexto del paciente y 4. graduación en enfermería: "signos y síntomas" indeseados por la profesión. Del análisis y la discusión de esas categorías se vislumbró la posibilidad de una enseñanza basada en la condición humana. De esa forma, se defiende la idea de que nuevos estudios deben realizarse, tendiendo en consideración que el curso de Salud Mental debe ser valorizado dentro de los Proyectos Políticos Pedagógicos dentro de la Graduación en Enfermería. ; This study aimed to identify and interpret the perceptions presented by undergraduate students of a Nursing course after internship in Mental Health. Twelve nursing undergraduate students at the Nursing School of ABC Foundation - Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil were interviewed. These interviews using a semi-structure script were performed and recorded in August 2004. Through Content Analysis, thematic modality, four categories were identified, 1. mental health: providing understanding of the other; 2. respect for the human being: the importance of listening, 3. mental health: contributing for a contextualized view of the patient and 4. nursing graduation: undesirable "signs and symptoms" of the profession. The analysis and the discussion of these categories suggest the possibility of teaching based on the human condition. Thus, we support the idea of new research been carried out, considering that the Mental Health discipline must be valued in the Political and Pedagogical projects of the Nursing Undergraduate Courses.
