Impact of Trade Area Environment on Bank’s Comparative Advantages
2004
This paper analyzes the relationship between the comparative advantages of bank branches and the trade area environment. Bank branches are points of sale whose trade environment influences their activities and performance. Comparative advantages are defined, for each output mix, by the strict dominance of a production technology in a specific trade area over the production technologies of other environments. Using Shephard’s output distance functions on a sample of 728 bank branches, we compare the production technologies for different output mixes and different trade environments. We show that none of the production technologies strictly dominates the others and none of them is strictly do…

La Inteligencia Intrapersonal en el aula de E/LE: una propuesta didáctica para alumnos sinohablantes
2020
Resumen: El proceso de adquisición del español como LM de los estudiantes sinohablantes se ve dificultado por el elevado índice de variables conflictivas de índole lingüística y cultural que entran en juego. La importancia que estas variables tienen en el desarrollo de su proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje convierte a los alumnos chinos en un grupo diferencial dentro del conjunto de aprendientes de E/LE. Con una lengua materna tipológicamente distante del español y educados en un sistema educativo organizado a partir del estructuralismo y del método de gramática-traducción, estos alumnos presentan unas necesidades específicas de aprendizaje que los docentes deberán tener en cuenta si desean a…

Imprese e reti per lo sviluppo imprenditoriale del territorio. Teoria e casi di destination management
2012
Il presente volume raccoglie i contributi al Workshop “Imprese e reti per lo sviluppo imprenditoriale del territorio: teoria e casi di Destination Management” tenutosi a Napoli il primo giugno del 2012. Alla raccolta i curatori hanno voluto premettere due saggi di contenuto teorico: l’uno concretizza un inquadramento istituzionale al tema, l’altro richiama uno dei più dibattuti driver di ricerca, quello del brand della destinazione. Ognuno dei lavori presentati al Workshop si offre quale elemento contributivo al più ampio dibattito che vede il turismo come momento trainante dello sviluppo socio-economico di un territorio, uno sviluppo che ormai non può non qualificarsi in termini di sosteni…
Collecting and preserving plant DNA for huanglongbing diagnosis in citrus samples from China
2016
Accurate and sensitive detection of Citrus Huanglongbing associated ‘Ca. Liberibacter’species, not currently reported in the European and Mediterranean area, is an imperative need to define certification programs, to prevent introduction of the bacteria and/or their vectors in the unaffected areas, and to delineate efficient management strategies in those areas where the disease has spread. In this study, we compared different citrus sample preparation procedures for PCR based detection methods of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, in order to find out the best a way to transport and preserve samples of Shatangju mandarin and fingered citron obtained during a survey in citrus orchards in …
Affective matching of odors and facial expressions in infants: shifting patterns between 3 and 7 months.
2016
Recognition of emotional facial expressions is a crucial skill for adaptive behavior. Past research suggests that at 5 to 7 months of age, infants look longer to an unfamiliar dynamic angry/happy face which emotionally matches a vocal expression. This suggests that they can match stimulations of distinct modalities on their emotional content. In the present study, olfaction-vision matching abilities were assessed across different age groups (3, 5 and 7 months) using dynamic expressive faces (happy vs. disgusted) and distinct hedonic odor contexts (pleasant, unpleasant and control) in a visual-preference paradigm. At all ages the infants were biased toward the disgust faces. This visual bias…
The impact of visual working memory capacity on the filtering efficiency of emotional face distractors.
2018
Emotional faces can serve as distractors for visual working memory (VWM) tasks. An event-related potential called contralateral delay activity (CDA) can measure the filtering efficiency of face distractors. Previous studies have investigated the influence of VWM capacity on filtering efficiency of simple neutral distractors but not of face distractors. We measured the CDA indicative of emotional face filtering during a VWM task related to facial identity. VWM capacity was measured in a separate colour change detection task, and participants were divided to high- and low-capacity groups. The high-capacity group was able to filter out distractors similarly irrespective of its facial emotion. …
