Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Agri-Food Products Delivered with Electric Vehicles in the Short Supply Chains
2022
This study aims at investigating the consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for agri-food products delivered in the farmers markets with electric vehicles (EVs). The empirical analysis has been carried out by administering an online questionnaire to 273 consumers within a hypothetical context. A multiple price list has been provided in order to measure the price premium for 1 kg of oranges transported by EVs comparing with the ones transported by traditional vehicles. A Tobit regression model has been used for the data analysis in order to identify the most influential factors affecting the consumers’ WTP. Results suggest that consumers’ WTP is mainly influenced by environmental attitudes, kn…

Reflections of Hope and Anxiety in Audience Responses to Three Environmental Films
2023
This article discusses the results of a reception study of three environmental films with a focus on emotional reactions and the films’ influence on the respondents’ environmental awareness. The short experimental film Valtakunnat/Realms (Finland, 2018) envisions post-human life, and the potential destruction that the planet is being driven towards. To Teach a Bird to Fly (Finland, 2020), a short documentary fiction film about a woman raising critically endangered birds, imagines a future where the effects of climate change have been reversed. The documentary film The Biggest Little Farm (USA, 2018) follows a couple who buy a barren farm with the aim of restoring its biodiversity. Through t…
LACOSAMIDE: TERAPIA IN ADD ON NEL TRATTAMENTO DELL’EPILESSIA PARZIALE
2012
Razionale ed obiettivi: La lacosamide è una nuova molecola con spiccata attività anticonvulsivante utilizzata nelle forme di epilessia ad esordio focale. Obiettivo del nostro studio è quello di valutare la tollerabilità, le interazioni farmacologiche e l’efficacia di questo nuovo farmaco usato in associazione ai vecchi ed ai nuovi farmaci antiepilettici. Pazienti e metodi: Abbiamo arruolato 30 pazienti afferenti al nostro Centro per la Diagnosi e la Cura dell’Epilessia dell’Università degli studi di Palermo affetti da epilessia parziale in bi-politerapia. L’età media dei pazienti era di 36,6 anni, l’età media di esordio della prima crisi di 15,9; 25 erano farmacoresistenti e 22 hanno presen…
Iedzīvotāju līdzestība piedāvātai H.Pylori eradikācijas terapijai un terapijas blakusparādību biežums
2016
Darbā analizēts 40-64 gadu vecu iedzīvotāju motivācijas līmenis piedalīties kuņģa vēža profilakses pasākumos, akcepts piedāvātajai terapijai un augšējās endoskopijas veikšanai, ja tāda indicēta, kā arī analizēti norādītie nepiedalīšanās iemesli. Secināts, ka atteikuma iemesli piedalīties, galvenokārt balstīti uz neizpratni par pārbaužu nepieciešamību un traucējošu simptomu neesamība. Maģistra darbs sastāv no divām daļām: 1.Literatūras apskata, kurā raksturota H. pylori morfoloģija, diagnostikas metodes un eradikācijas terapijas variācijas, kā arī biežāk novērotās terapiju veidojošo medikamentu blakusparādības. Aprakstīta „search and treat” stratēģija, un citu skrīninga pētījumu veikšanu ier…
Chemical characterization of Anthemis parlatoreana fresh and dried aerial parts by GC and LC chromatographic techniques and evaluation of the antioxi…
2022
Anthemis parlatoreana was collected in the north west coast of Sicily. Fresh and dried aerial parts were subjected to distillation procedure for the extraction and isolation of essential oils. In both fresh and dried samples, the most abundant chemical classes were ketones and esters, represented to a greater extent by β-thujone and β-artemisia acetate, respectively. In dried vegetable material, a high content of α-pinene and δ3-carene was also registered. Aqueous, methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of aerial parts were also investigated in terms of polyphenolic content and antioxidant potential. All the extracts tested showed a quite different quali-quantitative profile and in terms of ch…
What makes a citrus farmer go 'organic'? Empirical evidence from Spanish citrus farming
2012
Organic farming is increasing its share of total world food output and receiving grow-ing support from policymakers concerned with agricultural sustainability issues. This paper studies the characteristics of citrus farmers in the Spanish region of Valencia that affect their probability of becoming organic farmers. A fair understanding of these characteristics may help policymakers improve the design of agricultural policies aimed at supporting organic citrus practices. As regards the methodology, a probit model is estimated with information from a sample of conventional and organic citrus farmers obtained from a survey designed for a larger research project aimed at analysing Valencian cit…
Efectividad de un programa de intervención del Servicio de Farmacia de Atención Primaria en la desprescripción o sustitución de benzodiazepinas en ma…
2019
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de una estrategia de adecuación farmacoterapéutica realizada en un Departamento de Salud de la Comunidad Valenciana (diseñada por un farmacéutico y médico de Atención primaria en colaboración con un psiquiatra) que tuvo como objeto evitar la utilización de una selección de cinco benzodiacepinas (BZD) de vida media larga en personas ≥ 75 años (1572 pacientes), mediante la desprescripción o si no fue posible, la sustitución por BZD de acción corta, más seguras para este colectivo de pacientes. El acceso e intervención sobre una muestra poblacional tan elevada, es posible gracias al aplicativo informático ALUMBRA y la herramienta @GOFAR que …
Patterns matter: continuous Vs intermittent access to ethanol differently affects withdrawal behavioural phenotype and maternal care in female rats.
2014
Modeling voluntary ethanol consumption in female rats is crucial for gaining further insight in gender-related vulnerability to alcohol. Since ethanol effects depend not only on the amount consumed, but also on drinking pattern, this study aimed at assessing the influence of continuous and intermittent ethanol self-administration on peculiar aspects of female behavioural repertoire during withdrawal and relapse. Female rats undergoing a 15-week-long, 20% ethanol continuous or intermittent (3days/week) access, respectively named CARs and IARs, were tested for alcohol intake (gr/kg) and preference. During withdrawal we assessed: novelty and reward preference in novel object exploration and sa…
Eikaliptu saturošo uztura bagātinātāju un medikamentu aprite SIA "Baltfarm" aptieku tīklā un ārstniecisko īpašību novērtējums
2015
Šajā darbā tika pētīta eikaliptu saturošo zāļu un uztura bagātinātāju aprite SIA “Baltfarm” aptieku tīklā, kā arī tika novērtētas eikalipta aktīvo vielu ārstnieciskās īpašības.

Tika noskaidrots, ka eikaliptu saturošus preparātus lieto 46% (n=25) aptaujāto. Visbiežāk tos izmanto klepus ārstēšanai (28%, n=20). Vispieprasītākie eikaliptu saturošie preparāti ir “Inhalipts” aerosols kaklam (n=4246, 32%) un deguma pilieni “Pinosol” (n=2865, 29%). Tika novērots, ka zāles un uztura bagātinātāji, kuros eikalipts ir galvenā aktīvā viela, ir maz pieprasīti un tie nepā…
