Quotas regulation is necessary but not sufficient to mitigate the impact of SCUBA diving in a highly visited marine protected area.
2021
Abstract When effectively managed, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can produce wide ecosystem benefits that can foster, directly and indirectly, local economies. Tourism is one of the sectors mainly benefited by the effect of conservation. SCUBA diving represents an important tourism activity, especially in the context of MPAs, where it is one of the few activities often fostered rather than limited, for its capacity to integrate environmental and socio-economic sustainability. However, SCUBA diving can also produce negative impacts on the environment when tourism frequentation exceeds a sustainable threshold, these potentially generating negative effects on the sector itself. In this study, …
Co-Parenting: A Model of Value Creation in the Multinational Network
2017
We analyze a novel way to configure and manage multinational networks and propose a model of "co-parenting", characterized by the sharing of parenting roles and distribution of responsibilities between two units. We develop our argument around the notion of the springboard subsidiary, which has an extra-regional geographic mandate of a more strategic nature. Such extra-regional headquarters help parent firms overcome the liability of inter-regional foreignness. Based upon qualitative data, our model revolves around three stages: establishment, consolidation and maturity, each of which reflects distinct roles and knowledge flows among the three actors involved: HQ, springboard subsidiary and…
Segmentación del turista deportivo: el caso del espectador de la Fórmula 1
2021
El trabajo pretende identificar grupos de turistas de un evento deportivo, el GP Europa de Fórmula 1, con relación a su motivación para el consumo deportivo y características básicas que definen dichos grupos para conocer los perfiles de turista de un gran evento deportivo. Para caracterizar a los sujetos se utilizó el análisis clúster con una muestra de 148 asistentes al evento, turistas nacionales e internacionales. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la existencia de cuatro grupos de sujetos bien definidos: los sociales (formado por los que obtienen fuertes connotaciones sociales asistiendo al evento, el 17,6% de la muestra), los ostentosos (son el 17,5% de la muestra, que sin una motivaci…
Task Contexts in Dutch Mathematics Education
2020
This chapter offers a description of task contexts in mathematics education in the Netherlands. International comparative studies show that the Dutch average percentage of mathematics tasks with real-life connections per lesson exceeds any other country by far. This tradition goes back more than 500 years, when the earliest mathematics textbooks in the Dutch language consisted entirely of tasks, in which mathematics was put to use in commercial contexts. In this chapter characteristics of contexts in mathematics tasks in the Netherlands are studied. Underlying frame is the notion of usefulness, which is a perception by students on future practices outside school. A distinction is made betwe…
The nonmarket benefits of redeveloping dockland areas for recreational purposes: the case of Castellón, Spain
2003
As a consequence of the decline of central harbour sites and the relocation of port activities to the outskirts of cities, today waterfront redevelopment has become a key issue in the urban revitalisation policies of port cities. Although we are aware that city-port regeneration has strong links with the real estate market, our purpose here is very different. In particular, the contingent valuation method (CVM) has been applied in order to obtain the nonmarket benefits of the environmental and urban improvements derived from redeveloping some port-related areas for recreational and leisure purposes in the city of Castelloèn, Spain. To date, no previous study has attempted to apply this meth…
Estimating the non-market benefits of an urban park: Does proximity matter?
2007
Abstract There is increasing and widespread public support for public park provision in urban areas given that they provide an array of different recreational activities enhancing the citizen's quality of life. A contingent valuation survey of 900 randomly chosen inhabitants was undertaken in Valencia (Spain) to estimate the non-market benefits derived from the provision of a new urban park where there is currently an old train station. In conducting our study we distinguished between the districts of the city more and less affected by the project according to the proximity to the future park. Our main finding is that the mean willingness to pay (WTP) is considerably higher for people who l…
Co-creation with Companies: A Means to Enhance Societal Impact of University Researchers?
2019
AbstractIn this chapter, we explore co-creation as a form of societal interaction of science. We approach co-creation as a goal-oriented form of dynamic interaction aiming at mutual benefit of all parties. As such, we exclude technology transfer and other linear societal interaction forms that follow a closed-model innovation format. We argue that focusing solely on tapping the needs of researchers and ‘pure’ science would lead to ignoring the broader context in which researchers work. An excessive focus on meeting the needs of external stakeholders could jeopardize the preconditions of science. Hence, this chapter explores how researcher-company co-creation can be nurtured in a heavily ins…
Les effets des liens personnels interconseils sur la performance de l'entreprise : une analyse comparée entre France et Allemagne
2010
Obgleich das Thema „personelle Unternehmensverflechtungen über den Aufsichtsrat“ re-gelmäßig im Fokus öffentlicher Diskussionen steht – wobei in der Regel eine negative Wirkung der Mandatekumulation auf die Kontrolleffizienz des Überwachungsgremiums und damit letztlich auf die Unternehmensperformance unterstellt wird –, zeigt eine Analyse der empirischen Litera-tur, dass insbesondere in Kontinentaleuropa eine klare Schlussfolgerung hinsichtlich der Wirkung von Mehrfachmandaten auf die Wertschöpfung für die Aktionäre nicht möglich ist. Ursache für die starke Divergenz der Ergebnisse scheint sowohl die Verwendung verschiedener theoretischer Erklärungsmodelle als auch die Mobilisierung untersc…
El aula como caja de resonancia para la creación sonora: nuevas arquitecturas y herramientas tecnológicas para acercar el arte sonoro al ámbito educa…
2019
RESUMEN: Este artículo reflexiona sobre la importancia de repensar los espacios que habitamos de acuerdo con la idea de que el mundo físico y el digital interactúen de manera natural. A partir de esta premisa, y en el ámbito educativo-musical, las prácticas desarrolladas en el MusicLAB CR-209 del IES Arabista Ribera de Carcaixent (Valencia) son una muestra de cómo estas nuevas arquitecturas pueden favorecer el desarrollo de la creatividad. Acorde con las posibilidades que ofrece la tecnología actual, esta aula laboratorio está concebido como un espacio para la experimentación y la improvisación. El objeto de este artículo es describir ?La Máquina Interestelar?, una propuesta pedagógica inte…
Cui prodest servāre? Due ipotesi di destinazione per gli embrioni crioconservati
2022
The essay analyses the general ban for the donation of embryos placed into cryopreservation, stated by the Italian legislation n. 40/2004. Such a prevision causes a sine die conservation not only for embryos suitable for implantation, but also for those affected by genetic defects or diseases. The essay points out that donating both types of embryos, respectively, to adoption or to scientific fertility research preserves the dignity of the cells in storage, as a will supported by the consent of both gametes’ providers to the ultimate scope of solidarity.
