Intensity of Italy's agri-food trade with countries outside the EU Mediterranean
2013
This paper aims to present a framework of trade relations between Italy and the countries of southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. More specifically, using the indicators proposed in the analysis of international trade, we want to analyse the intensity of trade in agri-food products and the strength of trade ties between the bordering Mediterranean countries. The analysis of the intensity of trade flows of food products from Italy and the partner countries of North Africa and the Near East has allowed us to trace a network of flows between the countries in the area. If we can see an overall weakening of the agri-food trade, the analysis for individual partner states, however…

Emotions and epistemology: a path for reconsideration in the 21st century
2017
The present paper explores the gap between sensations and emotions in the global capitalism. We held the thesis that there are diverse ways to systematise the theoretical orientations on which the studies on the body/emotion are based; a possible one, having in mind the Latin American context and without intent of exhaustiveness, is the following: a) a line of work connected to Foucault and his concepts of control, discipline, and technologies of the self; b) an approach connected to Bourdieu and his notions of habitus, body hexis, and social fields; c) a set of investigations in the field of biopolitics referring to Esposito and Agamben on the one hand, and to Negri and Hardt on the other;…

Social network brand visibility (SNBV) : Conceptualization and empirical evidence
2018
Social media has become a new way of life that allows for real-time interaction among businesses (B2B) and consumers (P2P/C2C) as well as between business firms and consumers (B2C). Customers are increasingly accessing and using social networking sites (SNS), making it imperative for businesses and organizations to have a presence on these platforms to enhance visibility.

We developed and proposed a definition of SNBV and report findings from a preliminary study.

Dabas tēli Annijas Proulksas romānā “Kuģu ziņas”
2016
Mūsdienās ar dabu saistīti temati ir kļuvuši plaši izplatīti un būtiski. Priekšstats par to, ka cilvēce nodara bojājumus dabai ir nozīmīgs, un veidi kā saglabāt dabu patstāvīgi tiek meklēti un pētīti. Pats fakts, ka šādas tēmas ir kļuvušas populāras laikā, kad urbanizācija, industrializācija un globalizācija kļūst arvien izplatītākas, ir pārsteidzošs. Stājoties pretī globalizācijai, cilvēce ir atcerējusies par dabas nozīmību un par to ka cilvēki un daba ir nenovēršami saistīti. Līdz ar to, šajā darbā tiek pētīti dabas tēli Annijas Proulksas stāstā Kuģu ziņas, jo tajā tiek aplūkoti iepriekšminētie temati. Šī darba hipotēze ir, ka dabas tēli savā būtībā ir cilvēku izgudrojums, kurš rodas cilv…
