A Systematic Literature Review and Analysis of Mobile Retailing Adoption
2019
The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive updated review and analysis of mobile retailing adoption. Although research on mobile channel utilization has increased significantly in recent years and many new studies on this topic have been published, research has not yet provided a clear structure regarding how consumers’ expectations have advanced in relation to mobile retailing adoption. Thus, this study synthetizes the mobile retail adoption literature and develops a framework for it. Our systematic literature review analyzed 94 scientific articles that were published between 2010 and 2018 to determine customers’ different expectations and demands during different mobile chann…
Agency relationship in Global Venture Lab
2014
This Master's thesis analyzes the Agency relationships in university environment by applying a Global Venture Lab model of organization. The Global Venture Lab described in this study is a growth venture incubator that has been developed in the private organizational model to supplement the general faculty governance and the development of the University in the field of commercialization of inventions. In the study, the agent theory dimensions of moral hazard and adverse selection are applied. The research is conducted by action research methods and it is partly written in real time and partly with a retrospective approach. The data of the research is gathered during the development project…
CONOSCENZA E CONSERVAZIONE. PROSPETTIVE PER LE DOMUS DI PIAZZA DELLA VITTORIA A PALERMO.
2014
Il tema di ricerca possiede un carattere multidisciplinare, coinvolge ampi settori e, con un approccio metodologico di tipo olistico, mette in evidenza le complessità storiche, artistiche, architettoniche, archeologiche e urbanistiche, tenendo conto delle differenti implicazioni sul piano sia tecnologico che museografico. Il caso di studio scelto, per elaborare una strategia d’intervento e riproponibile in altri contesti, è costituito dalle Domus di Piazza della Vittoria a Palermo, un exemplum di complesso residenziale unico nell’ambito della città, arricchito dalla presenza di importanti mosaici che testimoniano la circolazione di possibili culti praticati nell’area occidentale della Sicil…
COVID-19: opinions and behavior of Italian general population during the first epidemic phase
2022
Background and aim: On January 9, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that Chinese health authorities had identified a new coronavirus strain never before isolated in humans, the 2019-nCoV later redefined SARS-CoV-2, that still today represent a public health problem. The present survey started on 10 February 2020 with the aim of a) assessing the risk perception in healthcare workers and young students, following the evolution of attitudes, perception and knowledge over time, b) provide useful information to the general population during survey. Results: A study sample consisting of 4116 Italian in-dividuals of both sexes was enrolled. High levels of risk perception, low perc…
The contribution of AI to enhance understanding of Cultural Heritage.
2013
The Artificial Intelligence & Cultural Heritage (AI & CH) working group was born in 1999 with the aim at promoting various scientific activities to increase a more active collaboration between the sectors of cultural assets and artificial intelligence. The many events (workshops and schools) organized over the years have shown the validity of this group for exchanging ideas and gathering researchers and practitioners from different fields. New applications of informatics and artificial intelligence have provided the opportunity to produce innovative tools for documenting, managing and communicating cultural heritage. For this anniversary we intend to show how some of the most important meth…
The use of industrial waste materials for the simultaneous removal of ammonium nitrogen and phosphate from the anaerobic digestion reject water
2020
The European Union’s circular economy strategy aims to increase the recycling and re-use of products and waste materials. According to the strategy, the use of industry waste materials and side flows is required to be more effective. In this research, a chemical precipitation method to simultaneously remove ammonium and phosphate from the reject water of anaerobic digestion plant using calcined paper mill sludge and fly ash as a precipitant, was tested. Paper mill sludge is a waste material formed in the paper-making process, and fly ash is another waste material formed in the power plant. Objective of this research was to test whether these industrial waste streams could be used as low cos…
Ciència i literatura. Ja han acabat les guerres entre les dues cultures?
2014
Des que l’alquímia va començar a desafiar l’autoritat de l’Església, l’estatus del coneixement científic especialitzat i de l’alta cultura, sempre relatiu, ha estat molt qu?estionat. Durant segles, els escriptors, com a adalils de la cultura, han atacat les pretensions de la ciència ridiculitzant els seus practicants bé com a éssers malvats, obsessius i fins i tot alienats o bé com a ximples i ineptes inventors els experiments dels quals fallen irremissiblement. Discutirem exemples d’ambdós models en el seu context històric. A les acaballes del segle XX apareix un nou gènere, conegut com a «literatura de laboratori» (lab-lit). Els científics s’hi veuen retratats no segons els estereotips si…
BEMOD: A DSGE Model for the Spanish Economy and the Rest of the Euro Area
2006
In this paper we present the theoretical foundations and the simulation results obtained with a new dynamic general equilibrium model developed at the Banco de España for the Spanish economy and the rest of Euro area. The model is designed to help in simulating the effect of alternative shocks on the main aggregate variables. The main contributions of this work from a theoretical perspective are the modelling of a monetary union composed of two regions, the inclusion of housing as a durable good with its own sector of production and the degree and detail of the disaggregation considered for each country in the model, which replicates the Quarterly National Accounts. On the empirical side, t…
Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs
2015
Effective ecosystem-based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how threats affect different components within ecosystems and ultimately alter ecosystem functioning. We used a case study of a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) food web and expert knowledge elicitation in an application of the initial steps of a framework for assessment of cumulative human impacts on food webs. We produced a conceptual seagrass food web model, determined the main trophic relationships, identified the main threats to the fo…
