Estrategias empresariales en el territorio : El caso del mueble valenciano
2020
El territorio y las aglomeraciones de empresas son factores que cada vez suscitan mayor interés en las teorías de la organización. En el estudio que aquí se presenta se aborda el análisis de un conglomerado específico: el del mueble valenciano, su expansión a lo largo del siglo XX y su declive tras las crisis de la globalización y del consumo. Se evidencian las conexiones y complementariedades entre empresas y cómo la cooperación puede ser más importante que la rivalidad en un mercado competitivo. Los factores de contingencia y las crisis tienen una incidencia diferencial en las empresas según el segmento en que se encuentren, pero también, en función de las estrategias que adopten. Por ell…

Mappa di Comunità della Valle del Simeto
2011
Questo libro è la storia di una collaborazione tra persone, legate fra loro dall'amore per un luogo, finalizzata alla "pratica" di una idea di sviluppo del territorio diversa da quella che viene loro imposta quotidianamente dalle strutture decisionali consolidate. Il luogo in questione e' una delle aree paesaggisticamente piu' pregiate della Sicilia, la Valle del Simeto, in corrispondenza del versante sud occidentale del vulcano Etna; l'idea di sviluppo che viene rigettata e' quella che, in passato, ha visto il materializzarsi di progetti di costruzione di impianti industriali altamente inquinanti lungo il corso del fiume Simeto; la "pratica" messa in campo dalla cittadinanza attiva simetin…
Evoluzione distrettuale di un sistema turistico locale: il ruolo delle politiche di marketing e di meta-management territoriale
2003
Da alcuni anni nel dibattito sullo sviluppo del turismo si è fatto crescente ricorso a concetti quali “sistema turistico”, “sistema turistico locale”, “distretto turistico”; tutti questi termini sottolineano l’importanza della natura intrinsecamente sistemica di tale sviluppo. Il fatto, poi, che proprio nel turismo il territorio è elemento portante della produzione ed è il luogo dove avviene il consumo rende obbligato il ricorso a questo concetto. La fruizione turistica del territorio coinvolge il consumo di asset pubblici, naturali e non, assieme a beni e servizi prodotti da imprese alberghiere, di ristorazione, di ricreazione, di trasporto ecc. Tutte queste attività sono destinate ad offr…

The Concept of Lexicon Devoted to Silesian Culinary Art
2019
As far as Silesia is concerned the language and cuisine constitute fundamental and distinguishing factors of the Silesian ethnic group, they are the determinants of cultural identity and the symbol of cultural identification. The concept of perceiving the culinary art from two perspectives, cultural and linguistic one, was born taking the above into account. Culinary art, as a component of culture understood in a broad manner, serves as a significant element of the language system as well. It plays a crucial culture-forming role in human life and it has certain position in the semantic structure of language which is adequate to its rank. The lexicon of Silesian cuisine, which is being curre…
The (controversial) role of the UNESCO WHL Management Plans in promoting sustainable tourism development
2012
This paper investigates the relationship between tourism and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites. It concentrates on the relation between Management Plans (MPs) and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This is explored through an examination of two important tourist locations in Sicily: Agrigento (the Valley of the Temples) and the Aeolian Islands, which have both been recognized as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The analysis of these case studies will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning regimes. The paper shows how supranational policies o…
Desarrollo, territorio y capital social. Un análisis a partir de dinámicas relacionales en el desarrollo rural
2013
Si bien parece ampliamente aceptada la idea de que una de las principales fuentes de capital social son las redes sociales, llama mucho la atención la escasez de estudios que utilizan el Análisis de Redes Sociales (ARS) para profundizar en el análisis y medición del capital social. Esto es especialmente significativo si tenemos en cuenta la ingente cantidad de publicaciones que existen sobre este concepto. El propósito de este trabajo es llevar a cabo una aproximación al potencial del análisis de redes sociales (ARS) para analizar la presencia y formas de capital, en concreto, en el marco de las agrupaciones para el desarrollo rural (Grupos LEADER), y en su valor complementario a otras técn…
N-Methyl-β-carboline alkaloids: structure-dependent photosensitizing properties and localization in subcellular domains
2020
N-Methyl-β-carboline (βC) alkaloids, including normelinonine F (1b) and melinonine F (2b), have been found in a vast range of living species playing different biological, biomedical and/or pharmacological roles. Despite this, molecular bases of the mechanisms through which these alkaloids would exert their effect still remain unknown. Fundamental aspects including the photosensitizing properties and intracellular internalization of a selected group of N-methyl-βC alkaloids were investigated herein. Data reveal that methylation of the βC main ring enhances its photosensitizing properties either by increasing its binding affinity with DNA as a biomolecular target and/or by increasing its oxid…
Consumers’ Sustainability Perceptions of the Supply Chain of Locally Produced Food
2010
This article is based on a qualitative focus group study regarding consumer perceptions about the sustainability of locally produced food supply chains. Sustainability perceptions were analyzed through thematic content analysis, where the most important economic, environmental and social themes of the supply chain were emphasized. According to the research findings, the socio-cultural aspects encompassing locally produced food form the most important sustainability dimension for consumers. Although the sample size is small, consisting of 19 consumers and limited to Central Finland, the findings suggest that the sustainability of local food should be promoted via socio-cultural arguments alo…
