The paper presents the problem of the answers to male violence against women in intimate relationships and presents a case study on the potential of the anti-violence network in coping with the risk of secondary victimization. The case study is related to the work of public and private entities involved in dealing with episodes of violence. It is based on the documentary analysis of the institutional documents of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia on the subject of gender-based violence, for the three-year period 2018/2020, for multilevel governance of the network coordination. Furthermore, with reference to the training activities developed by the Centre for Gender Studies Advanced Research on Gender INequalities and Opportunities of the University of Sassari the three-year period 2019/2021, we want to present training as a tool to create shared skills between the scientific community, professional communities and specialized services of the anti-violence network in Sardinia. The results highlight the importance of a training action based on the synergy between academic and operational knowledge. Starting from the anti-violence centres, essential nodes of the network, it will be possible to compare subjects who are different but capable of combining experience and competence, to reduce the heterogeneity of the procedures for taking charge and limit the risk that professional routines lead to a standardization of interventions, rendering them ineffective.

For about ten years this research team has been experimenting with techniques of spatial and visual perceptual analysis using GIS on the Nuragic landscapes (Middle and Late Bronze Age) of different areas of Southern Sardinia. Over time, various field campaigns have been developed on the monumental complexes built by the Nuragic communities. Towers, fortresses, villages, tombs of giants and sacred wells suggest a marked attention to the display of a message of power, strength and monumentality by the human group studied. An aspect often emphasized by these researches is the relationship of monuments with mobility and with the routes and strategic points of the territory, often verified through matches of different Least Coast Path Analyses (LCPA) that cross the territory by connecting different patterns of points. However, the real efficiency of the paths predicted by the GIS has never been directly tested on the ground. The paper presents the result of field analyses conducted by our group of archaeologists on the paths resulting from the GIS analysis in the Marmilla territories: travel times, energy expenditure and the real possibility of a path to actually cross a given territory are provided. Working with the LCPAs is still to be explored, however it remains a valid tool for territorial research, if an analysis unrelated to preconceptions and with a holistic evidence framework is carried out.

In a period of repeated economic crises, access to traditional credit channels for those unable to provide personal or capital guarantees has proved particularly complex. Among the possible ways to limit the damage of the crisis, the Region of Sardinia has identified support for entrepreneurship - particularly micro-entrepreneurship - as the most crucial way to foster the creation of new jobs, both in traditional and innovative sectors. The authority has deemed it appropriate to change course in favour of business creation through a particular form of interest-free microcredit, which replaces the traditional grant. At the time of its creation in 2009, the ESF Microcredit Fund constituted a radical policy innovation, which entailed a significant discontinuity with previous practices. It was a critical and courageous decision, taken in a context heavily marked by the unfavourable socioeconomic situation. This article presents the main results of the analysis of the ESF Microcredit, describing the mechanisms of genesis and implementation of the policy and finally describing the main effects of the ESF Microcredit on the beneficiaries and the socio-economic context.
