Forest resources and sustainable tourism, a combination for the resilience of the landscape and development of mountain areas.
2020
The development of sustainable tourism models has been widely discussed in the economic literature. If on the one hand the demand for tourism has grown in recent years, on the other it is necessary to have adequate planning and political tools. The problems of sustainable tourism appear more complex when sustainable tourism involves development opportunities that require the support of the local community and the management of natural resources which are generally common goods. In these circumstances, new management structures need to be created, which can both meet the needs of the local community and ensure adequate management of natural resources. This study analyzes the connections betw…
Exploring Innovation Adoption Behavior for Sustainable Development: The Case of Hungarian Food Sector
2020
Innovation plays a key role in the success and sustainable development of businesses. The innovation process derives from the combination of personal skills and company resources that influence food company managers in their choices on innovation (the decision-making process). This study is an attempt to try to understand which psychological constructs affect innovation decision-making in the Hungarian food sector, using the empirical data from a 2017 survey conducted in Hungary among the largest food processing companies. Planned behavior theory (TPB) was applied to the study of factors affecting innovation decision-making. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis. The…
Sustainable European fishery and the Friend of the Sea scheme: tools to achieve sustainable development in the fishery sector
2015
This paper investigates the role of the Friend of the Sea (FOS) scheme as a market tool for sustainable competitive advantage. To capture this effect, we apply a theoretical framework based on the stakeholder theory (SHT) and the natural-resource-based view (NRBV) to two case studies each in Italy and Spain. Our model allows us to explain the main factors determining an effective and competitive sustainable business model in the fishery sector. The results confirm the relevant influence of market forces in acquiring FOS certification and the role of the same as a counterpart to state authority.
Contribution to the Sustainability Challenges of the Food-Delivery Sector: Finding from the Deliveroo Italy Case Study
2020
The food delivery sector is assuming increasing importance in the distribution of food products and meals as it is becoming an ordinary component of consumption habits. However, the growth of the sector has inevitably affected the demand for freight transport, especially in urban areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the main enabling factors affecting the adoption of sustainable strategies, among which the electro-mobility, in the food delivery sector and what obstacles to dissemination can be seen. Deliveroo s.r.l. was chosen as case study. Results show that Deliveroo undoubtedly represents a good example of sustainable logistics and the dissemination of good practices among the…
Il contributo del settore agricolo nel processo di sviluppo economico
2012
Il presente lavoro analizza il ruolo che l'agricoltura occupa nel sistema economico italiano e siciliano. In particolare, attraverso la teoria economica si è analizzato in un primo momento il ruolo che il settore primario ha nelle economie sviluppate. Successivamente, si sono esaminate le modalità di intervento dell’operatore pubblico nel settore. L’analisi empirica si è sviluppata prendendo in esame i dati della Spesa pubblica, attraverso i dati della banca dati dei Conti Pubblici Territoriali (CPT), il Valore Aggiunto e gli occupati del settore primario. Lo studio dimostra che il settore agricolo, nelle Regioni del , Mezzogiorno d’Italia, riveste ancora un peso rilevante che va supportato…
Instant labeling of therapeutic cells for multimodality imaging
2020
Autologous therapeutic cells are typically harvested and transplanted in one single surgery. This makes it impossible to label them with imaging biomarkers through classical transfection techniques in a laboratory. To solve this problem, we developed a novel microfluidic device, which provides highly efficient labeling of therapeutic cells with imaging biomarkers through mechanoporation. Methods: Studies were performed with a new, custom-designed microfluidic device, which contains ridges, which compress adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) during their device passage. Cell relaxation after compression leads to cell volume exchange for convective transfer of nanoparticles and nanoparti…
L’erraticità della centralità. Valori simbolici e valori monetari nella città di Palermo
2017
The center of the city could be considered as the urban meta-sign from which each part of the city takes his urban monetary significance, and it can also be joined to the isomorphic chain linking Zero, Vanishing Point and Money. The center of the city is naturally erratic and follows the urban transformation, producing monetary differentials corresponding to differentials of quality of the localization. The case study of Palermo is analyzed showing the creation of the center of the city, its translation and its (monetary) evaluation in the contemporaneous city.

Arbeitsanweisungen zu Videomitschnitten in digitalen Lehrendenbildungskonferenzen
2021
The article investigates how digital conferences are interactionally accomplished by the participants in an international education and training project for teachers of German as a Foreign Language. From the perspective of multimodal conversation analysis, we focus on how the moderator transforms the model for working with the recorded lessons into instructions to the teachers in the ongoing conference and how the teachers subsequently orient their contributions to the instructions. It is seen that the moderator’s instructions increasingly depart from the model and accommodate the teachers’ work practices. In addition, the teachers and the project assistant repeatedly display uncertainty ab…
Tempo e Shoah. Politiche dell’oblio e forme testimoniali
2020
Il rapporto fra scrittura e memoria ha scandito fasi diverse sia nella ricostruzione memoriale dell’esperienza concentrazionaria sia, successivamente, all’interno del processo di rimemorazione collettiva istituzionalizzata. Tempo e Shoah. Politiche dell’oblio e forme testimoniali intende percorrere le varie declinazioni della memoria attraverso una prospettiva che si vuole contemporaneamente diacronica e interdisciplinare. L’approccio diacronico evidente nell’articolazione delle sezioni che compongono il volume – Tempo primo, Interludio, Tempo secondo – permette di evidenziare le forme e le funzioni che la memoria ha assunto attraverso la scrittura testimoniale, la riflessione teorica e, in…
