Sampling procedure in a willow plantation for estimation of moisture content
2015
Abstract Heating value and fuel quality of wood is closely connected to moisture content. In this work the variation of moisture content (MC) of short rotation coppice (SRC) willow shoots is described for five clones during one harvesting season. Subsequently an appropriate sampling procedure minimising labour costs and sampling uncertainty is proposed, where the MC of a single stem section with the length of 10–50 cm corresponds to the mean shoot moisture content (MSMC) with a bias of maximum 11 g kg −1 . This bias can be reduced by selecting the stem section according to the particular clone. The average difference in MSMC between the largest and smallest shoot in a stump was 31 g kg −1 .…
A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Educating Rita
2009
Englanninkielisissä maissa, kuten muuallakin maailmassa, yhteiskuntaluokkaerot tulevat esiin puheessa. Englantilaiset ovat erityisen herkkiä tällaisille eroille. Tässä tutkielmassa selvitetään, kuinka luokkaerot ovat havaittavissa Willy Russellin Educating Rita näytelmän dialogin sanastossa, ja hypoteesina on, että myös näytelmän tekstissä luokkaerot ovat selvästi havaittavissa pelkästään sanaston ja rekisterin perusteella. Sosiolingvistiikan alalla on vahvistettu, että yksittäisenkin sanan tai sen ääntämyksellä voi päätellä mihin luokkaan puhuja kuuluu. On myös löydetty sanoja, jotka ovat ainoastaan tietyn luokan käytössä. On myös havaittavissa, että viime vuosikymmenten aikana luokkajaon…
Factors affecting consumer preferences for “natural wine”: An exploratory study in the Italian market
2020
PurposeThe aim of this study is to understand which wine quality characteristics, consumers' attitudes and socio-demographic characteristics affect the consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a premium price for a bottle of natural wine.Design/methodology/approachThe research is experimental and investigated the purchasing intentions of 613 Italian wine consumers within a hypothetical setting. In order to elicit WTP for natural wine, a multiple price list (MPL) in a comparison with one bottle of conventional wine, with an average price of €5 was adopted. To understand which quality attributes of wine affect the consumers' WTP for natural wine, a Tobit regression model was implemented.FindingsTh…
La cultura ci salverà? Processi di touristification a base culturale nel centro storico di Palermo
2023
Negli ultimi tre decenni la cultura ha avuto un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle politiche urbane, divenendo uno strumento decisivo nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo economico e nell’accesso alla competizione globale che caratterizzano l’attuale regime di neoliberismo urbano (Miles e Paddison 2005). Anche nel sud Europa la cosiddetta rigenerazione a base culturale ha rappresentato e continua ancora oggi a rappresentare una vera e propria ortodossia urbana, che trova nel turismo tanto una ragione di esistenza quanto un campo di attuazione. In particolare, negli ultimi anni i centri storici di molte città sudeuropee sono stati oggetto di trasformazioni profonde in cui pratiche…
Could a sensory education improve taste identification, willingness to taste vegetables and food memory in 5 to 7 years-oldchildren?
2013
Résumé 1 p. ; http://www.pangborn2013.com/; International audience; The first objective of this study was to characterise children according to their ability towards taste identification, their willingness to taste usually disliked vegetables and their ability to memorize food previously eaten. Those aspects are assumed to be important in overall food behaviour in children. Three tests for measuring these aspects in 5-7 years-old children were designed. These 3 tests were taken by 160 children aged 5 to 7. First results revealed that children were able to identify 37%, 34%, 29%, 26% and 22% of respectively sweet, salty, umami, bitter and sour taste. One half of children were not willing to …
Evaluating consumers' willingness to buy environmentally friendly wines: A store experiment
2014
poster + communication courte confidentiels; The French program Ecophyto 2018 aims at achieving a 50% reduction in pesticide use by 2018. The vine-growing sector being the second largest user of pesticides in France, there is a strong need for French vine-growers to engage in more environmentally sustainable practices. However, they will do so if they are sure that consumers are ready to buy environmentally friendly wines. Thus, the two main objectives of this study were to identify consumers' willingness to buy environmentally friendly wines and to estimate the impact of an information campaign. 220 wine consumers participated in the study. Each consumer came twice, at a 3-week interval, i…
Reconnaître l'expression faciale émotionnelle ; une approche pluridisciplinaire des difficultés rencontrées dans différentes populations
2010
La capacité de reconnaître l’état émotionnel d’autrui à partir de son expression faciale joue un rôle important dans la régulation des interactions interindividuelles. Nous présenterons une série d’études où cette capacité a été étudié dans différentes populations, soit qu’elle soit en cours de développement (chez l’enfant), soit qu’elle soit altérée (dans la schizophrénie et le syndrome de Williams). Nous verrons comment la confrontation de ces populations permet de mieux comprendre les difficultés de chacune.

Reinforcing willingness to buy and to pay due to consumer affinity towards a foreign country
2014
International audience; In a tense economic environment where consumers are encouraged to favor local rather than imported products, multinational companies (MNEs) need leverage to enhance their offer regarding local products. This research suggests a consideration of consumer affinity towards a foreign country as a means to reinforce both willingness to buy (WTB) and willingness to pay (WTP). An experiment was conducted with 170 French consumers (non-students). Respondents were asked about their WTB and their WTP for products for which the country of origin varied in a within-subject design based on 1) the level of the respondent's sense of affinity towards the product’s country of origin …
