COMPULSIVE BUYING AND ELDERLY MEN: DEPRESSION, COPING STRATEGIES AND SOCIAL SUPPORT
2014
Old age is characterized by great changes that become real challenges that the person must overcome in order to effectively end his evolutionary process. Particulary, the most stressful events for the elderly are the social economic decline, the deterioration of health and the loss of loved ones. It is therefore important to consider the strategies chosen by the elderly person to cope with such tasks; these strategies, if not effective, result in a developmental failure. The objective of this research was to analyze the relantionship among geriatric depression, coping strategies and levels of problematic shopping in elderly male subjects. The research involved 120 men over 60’. The choice o…

Shopping malls and neoliberal trends in Southern European cities: post-metropolitan challenges for urban planning policy
2016
Whilst shopping malls have been explored at length by critical urban studies, there has been little exploration of their role in restructuring the practice of urban and spatial planning. This article uses the shopping mall as an object of study in the light of the neoliberal trends and post-metropolisation in Southern Europe, with the aim of exploring challenges for urban governance and planning practice and with a focus on the role of the ongoing economic crisis. A threefold exploratory framework – the ‘lost-in-time scenario’, the ‘messianic mall model’ and the ‘(im)mature planning explanation’ – is used to make sense of the local versions of shopping mall development in Lisbon (Portugal) …
From the Station to the Lyceum
2006
The world existed before me. I am a visitor, a temporary visitor, in the infinity of existence. The reality lived by those who visited before me has congealed into its own pastness. Yet it is ever present in the present that I am living, contained “within” it. The future, still awaiting its realisation, is open: packed full of tomorrows.
The shopping mall as an emergent public space in Palermo
2017
<p>As Doreen Massey (2005) pointed out, space matters. Does public space still matter today? Since the early seventies, several studies have explored public space as an emerging, and in many ways innovative, universe of actors, spatiality and socio-territorial practices which invaded the public spheres of our cities (Habermas, 1979; Rossi, 2008). However, ‘public space’ may have a wide variety of interpretations which relate to a semantic overlapping between a sensitive material sphere -The Space- and an intangible metaphorical sphere -The Public- (Bianchini, 1990; Crosta, 2000; Hajer and Reijndorp, 2002; Harvey, 2006; Low and Smith, 2006; Rossi, 2008). As Crosta (2000) reveals, a new…

Interference excision algorithm for frequency hopping spread spectrum based on undecimated wavelet packet transform
2002
An algorithm for reducing narrowband interference effects in frequency hopping spread spectrum is presented. The method is based on the undecimated wavelet packet transform. It improves the performance obtained by other methods. Experimental results demonstrate the suitability of the algorithm.
A surface hopping algorithm for nonadiabatic minimum energy path calculations
2015
The article introduces a robust algorithm for the computation of minimum energy paths transiting along regions of near-to or degeneracy of adiabatic states. The method facilitates studies of excited state reactivity involving weakly avoided crossings and conical intersections. Based on the analysis of the change in the multiconfigurational wave function the algorithm takes the decision whether the optimization should continue following the same electronic state or switch to a different state. This algorithm helps to overcome convergence difficulties near degeneracies. The implementation in the MOLCAS quantum chemistry package is discussed. To demonstrate the utility of the proposed procedur…
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…
Pārrobežu tiešsaistes iepirkšanās un patērētāju uzvedības analīze Ķīnā
2019
Ķīnas patērētāju ikdienā un Ķīnas starptautiskajā tirdzniecībā ir nozīmīgi pieaugusi pārrobežu e-komercijas loma. Ar starptautisko preču mazumtirdzniecības pieaugošu nozīmi ir jāpievērš lielāka uzmanība patērētāju uzvedības tiešsaistē izpētei, bet tikai daži pētījumi koncentrējas konkrētai pārrobežu tiešsaistes iepirkšanās jomai. Šis pētījums veicina patērētāju pārrobežu tiešsaistes iepirkšanās attieksmes un rīcības izpēti. Tā mērķis ir izpētīt faktorus, kas ietekmē nodomu piedalīties pārrobežu iepirkumos tiešsaistē un veikt esošo Ķīnas tiešsaistes patērētāju attieksmes, kas balstīta uz identificētajiem faktoriem, mērījumus. Ierosinātais attieksmes modelis ir balstīts uz tiešsaistes un pārr…
