Observing The Decision-Making Process
2016
International audience; In this chapter we ask how knowledge can be acquired about the decision-making processes associated with residential choice. As shown by the results of the many areas of research set out in chapter 2, a great number of factors may influence the decision to move home. Because we are more especially interested in the actual decision-making process, we must consider the mental factors that may condition it.
Prioritization of Alternatives with AHP Plus Response Latency and Web Surveys
2013
Purpose: Overcome some drawbacks of the widely applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) related to the use of a rating scale for respondent’s judgments and propose a new method to prioritize alternatives based on web surveys. Methodology/Approach: We use the response latency, i.e. the time taken to make a decision, to replace the rating scale in the pairwise comparisons which is a fundamental part of the AHP procedure. A method combining the AHP with a mathematical model for the response latency is proposed in the paper. Findings: Eliminating the rating scale and leaving only the “take the best” task alleviates the respondent and makes the survey much faster and intuitive. Moreover the re…
ESTIMATION OF ATTRIBUTE IMPORTANCE BY CHOICE TIME IN A RANKING TASK
2010
The evaluation of the quality of products and services as a function of their attributes has been broadly implemented in marketing research. The current methods for identifying important attributes and prioritize them suffer from theoretical and practical limitations. The former are related to the choice of the most appropriate model for the specific experimental context, the latter are due to the large amount of variables (cognitive, context and survey variables) affecting the chosen model. This work aims at presenting a new method for capturing consumer attribute preferences and estimating the relative importance weights by using the choice time in a ranking task. All is made through an e…

Inhibition of Protein Isoprenylation Impairs Rho-Regulated Early Cellular Response to Genotoxic Stress
2000
Activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) are early cellular responses to genotoxic stress involved in the regulation of gene expression. Pretreatment of cells with the hydroxymethyl glutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor lovastatin blocked stimulation of JNK1 activity by UV irradiation and by treatment with the alkylating compound methyl methanesulfonate but did not affect activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 by UV light. Lovastatin also attenuated UV-induced degradation of the NF-kappaB inhibitor IkappaBalpha. The effects of lovastatin on UV-triggered stimulation of JNK1 as well as on IkappaBalpha degradation were reverted by cotreatmen…

CONOSCENZA E CONSERVAZIONE. PROSPETTIVE PER LE DOMUS DI PIAZZA DELLA VITTORIA A PALERMO.
2014
Il tema di ricerca possiede un carattere multidisciplinare, coinvolge ampi settori e, con un approccio metodologico di tipo olistico, mette in evidenza le complessità storiche, artistiche, architettoniche, archeologiche e urbanistiche, tenendo conto delle differenti implicazioni sul piano sia tecnologico che museografico. Il caso di studio scelto, per elaborare una strategia d’intervento e riproponibile in altri contesti, è costituito dalle Domus di Piazza della Vittoria a Palermo, un exemplum di complesso residenziale unico nell’ambito della città, arricchito dalla presenza di importanti mosaici che testimoniano la circolazione di possibili culti praticati nell’area occidentale della Sicil…

Ricerca di aiuto. Esercizio ADVP (specificazione). Contare sull'aiuto degli altri
2009
Il contributo permette di riflettere sul compito di Specificazione attivato dalla metodologia canadese ADVP (Activaction du developpment vocationnel et personnel) e aiuta lo studente universitario a individuare le situazioni in cui chiedere aiuto e le persone a cui chiederlo e a migliorare lo studio partecipativo e collaborativo con i colleghi.
