Horizontal Accuracy Tests on Google Satellite Images Over Naples Added in QGIS
No full textThe possibility of view Google satellite images in Geographic Information System (GIS) provides an important source of information for free to support applications regarding smart cities. In fact, Google makes available, practically for every place on Earth, updated and high-resolution images: it is necessary to ascertain that the data accuracy is compatible with the application you want to create. Consequently, it becomes necessary to verify that the coordinates of objects easily identifiable in the images are sufficiently accurate for the purpose. This article aims to verify the horizontal positional accuracy of the Google satellite images in the municipality of Naples (Italy). For this purpose, the 1:1,000 scale maps georeferenced in the UTM WGS84 system, zone 33 North are used. The satellite images, georeferenced in the WGS84 system and in the WEB Mercator representation, are also reported in the same system and projection as the maps. Due to the imperfect overlap between the layers, the deviations are measured in some points that are easily identifiable both on the maps and the satellite images. As found with the use of 45 check points, the deviations have a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.594 m highlighting a wide range of possible applications
Crowdfunding business models through the lens of sustainable development: A taxonomy for backers and funders
No full textSustainable entrepreneurship has emerged as a key driver in addressing environmental and societal challenges through innovation. However, sustainable ventures often struggle to secure funding due to the perceived trade-off between financial returns and sustainability goals. This paper, through a systematic literature review, proposes a taxonomy of crowdfunding (CF) business models linking backers' motivations to the environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions of the projects. This taxonomy, highlighting the importance of aligning CF business model with the specific sustainable project objectives, offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to effectively support their innovative and sustainable ideas through a strategically appropriate approach
Soft bottom benthic communities under potentially anthropic and natural pressures in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica)
No full textBenthic communities have a key function in the Antarctic marine ecosystem since they play a central role in the food web pathway and represent the main “environmental biological memory”. The goal of the study is to evaluate differences in macrozoobenthic community structure, along the Antarctic coasts of Tethys Bay (Ross Sea), potentially affected by two types of pressures: anthropic, due to the presence of a scientific station, and natural, due to the presence of a penguin colony. In the austral summer of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, four sites were sampled in order to detect the effects of these two types of pressure (anthropic vs. natural vs. two control non-impacted areas). The Road Bay site, near the Italian Station, is rich in macro- and micronutrients and NO3− and Cd2+; the Adélie Cove site, characterized by organic loads from a close penguin colony, is rich in PO43−. Lower values of NO3− and PO43−, as well as Cu2+ and Pb2+ heavy metals occurred in control sites, between Road Bay and Adélie Cove. The benthic community showed different qualitative–quantitative dominances of species among sites, mainly at 50 m depth. The results clearly show the dominance of different opportunistic species of macrobenthos where penguins or humans’ presence occurred. Therefore, benthic communities may be considered good biological indicators of the overall environmental conditions

No full textBook of Short Papers - 3rd Italian Conference on Economic Statistics (ICES 2025) "Sustainability, Innovation and Digitalization: Statistical Measurement for Economic Analysis"
No full textThis volume collects selected short papers presented at the 3rd Italian Conference on Economic Statistics (ICES), held at the University of Naples Parthenope (Italy) on 13-14 February 2025.
The contributions offer an overview of recent developments and applications of statistical methodologies in the analysis of economic phenomena, with a particular focus on the themes of sustainability, innovation, and digitalization. These dimensions, central to contemporary social and policy agendas, call for the adoption of advanced methods and robust analytical tools to support informed, data-driven decision-making. In this context, the integration of new data sources and the use of cutting-edge techniques open new opportunities and improve the accuracy and timeliness of economic forecasts and policy assessments. The conference explored these challenges, focusing on the latest innovations in technological development and productivity while addressing the labour market, sustainability, and digitalization.
The papers included in this volume reflect the richness of the conference program, covering topics such as: innovation, technological development, and productivity; labour market, entrepreneurship, and digitalization; big data for economic, financial, and business decision-making; advances in spatial data analysis for economics; statistical models and deep learning methods for time-series in economics and finance; tourism and overtourism; advanced statistical models for policy impact assessment; data and indicators for sustainability analysis
The Effect of Exercise-Based Interventions on Health-Related Quality of Life of Patients with Hematological Malignancies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
No full textHematological cancers encompass a collection of heterogeneous
conditions. The need for repeated treatments and prolonged hospitalization leads
to a decrease in health-related quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis
evaluate the effect of exercise interventions on functioning scales, global health status, and
symptoms in patients with hematological cancers. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and
Scopus databases were systematically screened, and randomized controlled trials were
included. The primary outcome was health-related quality of life assessed through the
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life questionnaire.
Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model and 95% confidence intervals.
Results: A total of 14 trials involving 837 patients with mixed cancer types were included.
Most studies evaluated exercise interventions during hospitalization, with aerobic and
resistance training at moderate intensity being the most common modalities and adherence
rates ranging from 28% to 100%. Exercise programs significantly improved physical (SMD

0.23; 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.40; p = 0.008), emotional (SMD 0.19; 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.36; p = 0.020) and
cognitive functioning (SMD 0.20; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.37; p = 0.026), and global health status
(SMD 0.24; 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.46; p = 0.027). Significant reductions were observed in fatigue
(SMD −0.33; 95% CI: −0.52 to −0.14; p = 0.001), pain (SMD −0.34; 95% CI: −0.53 to −0.15;
p = 0.000), and insomnia (SMD −0.22; 95% CI: −0.41 to −0.03; p = 0.024). Heterogeneity
was minimal across most domains, suggesting consistent findings. Conclusions: Exercise
interventions are effective in enhancing functioning scales and global health status and
reducing symptom burden in patients receiving intensive treatments. Future research is
required to explore the long-term effects of exercise and develop tailored programs for
specific hematologic malignancies and treatment settings
Scrivere di moda. Per una ricostruzione storica delle riviste francesi (XVIII-XX secolo)
No full textNel presente contributo ci si sofferma sullo studio dell'editoria periodica di moda francese, con un focus specifico sulle riviste
femminili. L’obiettivo è di poter fornire un quadro storico e culturale quanto più esaustivo possibile della stampa di moda in Francia, dalla sua nascita fino alle imprese editoriali più significative del Novecento. Il presente lavoro intende, inoltre, arricchire la serie già autorevole di contributi che riguardano il rapporto tra lessico francese della moda e quello italiano. Una ricostruzione in lingua italiana a partire da fonti in lingua francese delle dinamiche che hanno portato alla nascita, alla scomparsa e alla diffusione delle riviste di moda francesi, soprattutto ad opera di donne o destinate a un pubblico femminile, può, a nostro parere, arricchire il dialogo lessicale italiano-francese della moda, in virtù della filiazione che intercorre tra molte riviste di moda italiane – all’interno delle quali
circolano le parole e i termini italiani del settore – e quelle d’Oltralpe
