The countryside enjoys a long tradition in secondary and baccalaureate teaching and learning in spite of no research having been done on its use in teaching social sciences.

“Seremos hombres y fieras”. Modelos, roles y actitud de las mujeres durante el bloqueo y asedio austracista de Peníscola (1706-1707)
2020
espanolEl presente trabajo es una propuesta para avanzar en la interpretacion de la actitud de las mujeres campesinas durante la guerra de Sucesion espanola. El analisis se focaliza en la villa y fortaleza valenciana de Peniscola durante los 18 meses que perdura el cerco al que es sometida la plaza por tropas austracistas desde el 14 de diciembre de 1705.

New and alternative models for agri-food production and consumption have brought up questions regarding the effects they have on local development processes in terms of the economic exploitation of rural areas as well as environmental, cultural, and social factors.

However, evaluating these parameters is challenging. The aim of this study was to develop an indicator-based tool to monitor the sustainab…

THE PREMIUM PRICE FOR ITALIAN RED WINE QUALITY ATTRIBUTES IN THE JAPANESE MARKET
2015
In this paper we apply the hedonic price model in order to estimate implicit price for the main objective characteristics appearing on the label of Italian wines sold in Japan, easier to identify than sensory attributes by consumers. In this paper, the wine searcher dataset has been used in order to select the retailer price and the research score for 829 wines, for each of which we have observed information about their geographical origin, vintage, grape varieties, vintage, and the alcohol degree. Our results indicate that international grape varieties, alcohol content and the year of production explain the major part of price difference. On the other hand, the origin appellations linked t…

2019
Abstract Nowadays city environment shows the presence of a mixed variety of elements, as natural, semi natural and anthropic components that build up both structure and connections of the urban context. This specific structure shapes and directs space and its functions strictly connected with their sustainable potential uses and sustainable development opportunities. The lack of rules and proper planning methods produces inefficient use conditions by resident citizens, entropy, functions' reduction of ecological networks and deep environmental impacts. The consequence comes out to be a great widespread life quality decrease in urban areas. These thoughts lead the authors to rethink the defi…
