Cultural Product Management from Environment to Territorial Context

2014

This chapter aims to represent the evolution of the cultural vocation of the territory with relation to the cultural product. The authors achieve this by adopting a holistic, viable-systemic approach. This approach proves useful to draw a better representation of the relationships existing among members of the territory - which is a prerequisite for the creation of any cultural product - and among them and the stakeholders to whom the cultural product itself is targeted. The authors consider the notion of relationship as a form of interactive connection determining - in causal fashion - a series of input-output effects among system members.

Decoding the dynamics of value cocreation in consumer tribes. An Agency Theory approach

2017

In the last decade, marketing studies have tried to define methodologies, models, and tools to support organizations in developing pathways “oriented to” and “based on” the value cocreation. To shed light on these dynamics, using the interpretative lens offered by Agency Theory, this study investigates the sociocultural and cognitive/figurative roots of the process of emergence of consumer tribes in which and by which value cocreation takes place. This paper offers a possible advancement in knowledge useful to define approaches, models, and instruments able to better explain and manage the dynamics of value cocreation.

Knowledge formalization and recommendation in computational design synthesis for 4D printing

2022

Coined in 2013, 4D printing is considered as a promising technology that combines additive manufacturing (AM) processes and smart materials (SMs). Through this technology objects can change over time in terms of functionalities, shape, or properties under the effect of energy stimulation. Although AM processes allow shape, hierarchical, functional, and materials complexities to the 3D objects, the conjunction with SMs provides much more freedom in designing adaptive/transformative structures. Over the last decade, a growing body of research with ad hoc proofs-of-concept have been proposed at the physical level (i.e., by using different AM processes with commercial or customized 3D printers …

Effect of sperm concentration and storage temperature on goat spermatozoa during liquid storage

2020

The use of cooled semen is relatively common in goats. There are a number of advantages of cooled semen doses, including easier handling of artificial insemination (AI) doses, transport, more AI doses per ejaculate, and higher fertility rates in comparison with frozen AI doses. However, cooled semen has a short shelf life. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of temperature and sperm concentration on the in vitro sperm quality during liquid storage for 48 h, including sperm motility and kinetics, response to oxidation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and DNA fragmentation in goats. Three experiments were performed. In the first, the effects of liquid preservation of …

Sharing economy e modelli di organizzazione

2015

Nel 2014 il Comitato Economico e Sociale Europeo ha pubblicato un Parere sull’impatto delle pratiche riconducibili alla “maniera tradizionale di condividere, scambiare, prestare, affittare e regalare (…) ridefinite attraverso la tecnologia moderna e le comunità”. Il riferimento è alle attività – solitamente accomunate sotto l’etichetta di sharing economy – di baratto (swap), banche del tempo, valute virtuali, scambio di attrezzi, di terreni, condivisione di giochi, uffici, co-housing, co-working, couchsurfing, car sharing, crowdfunding, bike sharing, noleggio p2p, car pooling. Il documento arriva a preconizzare che la loro diffusione determinerà la “trasformazione concettuale del lavoro” e …

HENSTOCK INTEGRAL AND DINI-RIEMANN THEOREM

2009

In [5] an analogue of the classical Dini-Riemann theorem related to non-absolutely convergent series of real number is obtained for the Lebesgue improper integral. Here we are extending it to the case of the Henstock integral.

GIA': Giovani, Imprenditoria, Innovazione - "Livatino - Saetta"

2013

Innovare e sviluppare l'imprenditorialità. Giovani e nuove prospettive per il lavoro

2013

L'affermazione dei valori della legalità non può prescindere dall'esercizio della libertà dei giovani di poter coronare le proprie aspirazioni contribuendo collettivamente allo sviluppo del territorio. Il riuso, anche a fini educativi, di un bene confiscato alla mafia pensato come laboratorio di innovazione, sviluppo e legalità dedicato ai giovani del territorio è stato uno dei motivi ispiratori della Scuola Livatino-Saetta. La Scuola è stata pensata come un momento di aggregazione giovanile per progettare insieme percorsi per il futuro. Un momento educativo in cui i giovani possano trarre ragioni di fiducia e di speranza dalla possibilità· di condividere con altri giovani un percorso di cr…

The role of informal learning in adults' literacy proficiency

2021

This study used the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) dataset to examine informal literacy learning’s effects on adults’ literacy proficiency. Also, the factors associated with informal literacy learning at and outside of work were studied. The study participants were Nordic adults aged 35–65 years. The statistical method was regression analysis, and the results indicate that informal literacy activities at work are associated primarily with occupation, and informal literacy activities outside of work with education, parents’ education and gender. Initial education, occupation, language background and age exerted the strongest estimated associations with r…
