Literatur – grundsätzlich mehrsprachig!? Das politische Potenzial literarischer Mehrsprachigkeit heute, am Beispiel von Barbi Marković’ Superheldinnen
2021
Literature – Multilingual on Principle?! The Political Potential of Literary Multilingualism Today, using the Example of Barbi Marković’s Superheldinnen. Research on literary multilingualism is increasingly based on the assumption that literature per se is multilingual. This is true for concepts such as Mikhail Bakhtin’s ‘polyphony’, in which multilingualism occurs in the form of social, regional and historical variants within one major language. Similarly, it applies to Rainier Grutman’s concept of hétérolinguisme, which expands Bakhtin’s notion and includes actual language changes. Recently, Till Dembeck has even called for a philology of multilingualism that would accommodate literary mu…
Sustainable tourism: Measures, evidence and future prospects.
2021
The Chapter aims to provide a critical review of the quantitative approaches so far introduced in literature to measure the sustainable tourism. We focus on both variables and methods employed to obtain synthetic indicators of sustainable tourism and aim to provide some critical insights on potential new challenges caused by the current pandemic. For example, some dimensions of tourism sustainability may become more relevant in future due to the increasing attention by people on health and safety. Finally, a focus on the studies on measurement of sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean area will be provided.
ICT and tourism impacts in islands
2018
New technologies can represent, for some aspects, both a problem and a precious resource. As we concerns, in tourism sector, ICT can help in managing and promoting destinations in a better way than in the past, especially in those cases where problems linked with the management of tourist flows and the need to manage a sustainable development exists. Monitoring tourism impact at the destination is a fundamental issue in order to respect the right pressure and to avoid negative effects in the destination and with the residents. There are several devices available and useful for different needs, therefore almost each kind of monitoring and analysis can be supported by the right tools. This kn…
PLACE-BASED ATTRIBUTES AND SPATIAL EXPENDITURE BEHAVIOR IN TOURISM
2016
In recent discussions on local sustainable development, notions like “local for local” and “home bias” have often played a role. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether preferences for specific place-based attributes might constrain or support tourism participation and tourism destination choice of distinct socioeconomic groups of visitors. To test this proposition, a large data set from the Italian Households Budget Survey for the period 1997–2007 has been used and, by means of the double-hurdle model, tourism participation and expenditure are modeled over the life-cycle of tourists. These data are next merged with location-specific attributes including natural amenities and in…
CLUSTERING OF TOURISM PATTERNS WITH SELF-ORGANIZING MAPS: THE CASE OF SICILY
2023
In this paper the Self-Organizing Map algorithm is used for studying whether and which tourism flows in Sicily are synchronized, i.e. which flows show similar patterns in time and space, if any. Synchrony hunting was performed for domestic and international tourists both on a yearly and monthly basis. Local tourism, meaning the holidays spent in Sicily by residents in the island, is also considered but on a yearly basis only. The analysis makes use of time series representing the number of overnight stays in Sicily over the period 2013-2019. Results provide evidence for a domestic market overall more synchronized than the international one, both in time and space. Spatiotemporal patterns f…

Ksiądz prymas Stefan Wyszyński na uroczystościach milenijnych w Opolu i Kamieniu Śląskim (13-14 sierpnia 1966 r.) - historia i aktualność przesłania
2022
W dniach 13 i 14 sierpnia 1966 r. ks. prymas Stefan Wyszyński wziął udział w uroczystościach liturgicznych w Opolu i Kamieniu Śląskim w ramach obchodów milenium chrztu w Polsce. Wygłosił wtedy kazania w Opolu 13 i 14 sierpnia, a także 14 sierpnia w Kamieniu Śląskim. Zaangażowanie ówczesnych lokalnych władz, milicji czy Służby Bezpieczeństwa w niwelowanie znaczenia tych obchodów, a zarazem treść przesłania, z jakim do swoich rodaków zwrócił się w Opolu i Kamieniu Śląskim z 1966 r. prymas Wyszyński, dowodzą, że trudno było pozostać obojętnym wobec tego nauczania. Chociaż uwarunkowania społeczno-polityczne zmieniły się, postać prymasa i jego nauczanie wciąż inspirują. Artykuł pt. Ksiądz prymas…
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel aminobisphosphonates possessing an in vivo antitumor activity through a gammadelta-T lymphocyte…
2008
A small series of aminobisphosphonates (N-BPs) structurally related to zoledronic acid was synthesized with the aim of improving activity toward activation of human gammadelta T cells and in turn their in vivo antitumor activity. The absence of the 1-OH moiety, together with the position and the different basicity of the nitrogen, appears crucial for antitumor activity. In comparison to zoledronic acid, compound 6a shows a greater ability to activate gammadelta T cells expression (100 times more) and a proapoptotic effect that is better than zoledronic acid. The potent activation of gammadelta T cells, in addition to evidence of the in vivo antitumor activity of 6a, suggests it may be a new…
Terrorismo e Mafia
2020
The issue of «Meridiana» analyses counter-terrorism and mafia strategies over the course of Italian history from a double viewpoint (both legal and historical). The contributions of the different authors follow the evolution of criminal, substantive and procedural rules while identifying a unitary, «emerging» trait. Exceptionality, which has become one of the permanent characteristics of the Italian criminal justice system. The studies of some famous cases highlights the twists of the legal categories, the use of repentants, and the close collaboration between the judges and the public prosecutors. Risky interference between historiography and procedure requires that the criminal dimension …
