Happy Tourists, Unhappy Locals
No full textThe most recent of literature focuses more often on the happiness of tourists, rather than the happiness of residents affected by tourism. However, this study aims at filling this gap with a new and refreshing perspective. This is carried out by using the European Social Survey (2010-2012) merged with Eurostat tourism data at the province (NUTS2) level. Staying consistent with homophily or ingroup preference theories, we find that domestic tourists contribute more to the happiness of locals than foreign tourists. Also by staying consistent with Irridex theory, we find that tourism at low levels of development contributes more to happiness than tourism at a high level of development.Peer reviewe
Design management methods in private label brand development: case Stockmann, Cristelle & Co
No full textIn this thesis I conduct a brand research on Stockmann private label Cristelle & Co through consumer involvement. The theory behind this is design thinking where consumers are
integrated into the design process. The aim of this thesis was to find out how the chosen brand is perceived by the consumers now and whether it is consistent with the brand
strategy set by Stockmann. My main goal was to find out how the brand image could be improved and how design management could facilitate the designing process of a private label.
Data was collected through semi-structured interview conducted in Sinco-laboratory, which is situated in the premises of University of Lapland and through a questionnaire made in Webropol program. Therefore this thesis mixes both quantitative and qualitative methods. This data is then analyzed through content analysis, creating different themes, which I was then able to make use of when I finally designed the final collection and proposed a new brand image for Cristelle & Co.
When compared together the survey and the interview gave different answers of the current image of Cristelle & Co. Therefore the data proved through the analysis that the brand image of Cristelle & Co was not consistent with the original brand strategy and therefore needed to be changed. Another result was that Sinco-laboratory worked as a ground for conducting research also in the field of clothing design and that it offers further possibilities for clothing research

The Green Line: Greek Cypriot Women Artists’ Politicised Practices, Lia Lapithi and Marianna Christofides
No full textMaria Photiou considers how the works of these two artists in installation, photography/print and performance discussed are redolent with 'memories of the invasion of Cyprus by Turkish forces in 1974, its division into Greek and Turkish parts, as well as the ongoing occupation of half the island by Turkey, have become key references for Greek Cypriot artists who experienced the war directly but also for those who came after.' Photiou analyses how these two different generations of Greek Cypriot women artists based in Nicosia have explored the ethnic divisions and 'the geo-political partition of Cyprus'. The author examines these 'women’s art practices in relation to how they challenge this conflict and make cultural interventions against what is “politically correct” in a society where new generations, under the influence of the state, the media, the family and their schooling, form an imaginary image of the “other” and bear witness to an event they never experienced.' Works discussed include Lapithi's video Grade IV (2007) and her collaboration with Marianna Kafaridou as the Washing-up Ladies on Feminist Issues Still Not at the Front Line about women on the Green line, and Marianna Christofides Blank Mappings (2010/2011)

BL MARIANNA BIERNACKA AN EXAMPLE FOR CARITAS VOLUNTEERS
No full textJohn Paul II beatified Marianna Biernacka in June 13, 1999 in Warsaw. She belongs to 108 martyrs of the World War II. Marianna Biernacka (1888-1943) she was a simple country woman. She offered her life for her daughter-in-law, by asking the German soldier, to be arrested instead of her daughter-in-law and she saved her life. The Caritas of Ełk Dioceses from the time of her beatification places her as an example for workers and volunteers. In a special way
underlines her diligence, humility, patience and bravery, which were manifested during her life. Marianna suffered a lot, but remained joyful and confident in God. In this article the religious silhouette and main features of her spirituality
has been shown. The author encourages all volunteers to imitate the Blessed Marianna. Gives answer to a question: in which way she may be an example for contemporary volunteers. Passes over the main aims and methods of developing volunteers of Caritas to the love of neighbor and to the mercy
Schizophrenia trials conducted in African countries: a drop of evidence in the ocean of morbidity?
No full textAbstract Objective To quantify schizophrenia trialling activity in African countries and to describe the main features of these trials. Methods We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group Register, which contains 16,000 citations to 13,000 studies relating only to people with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like illness, to identify schizophrenia trials conducted in Africa without time limitation. Results A total of 38 trials met the inclusion criteria and were included in our analysis. Of the 54 countries of Africa, only 8 produced at least one trial: South Africa produced the majority of trials (20 out of 38 trials, 53%), followed by Nigeria (7 out of 38 trials, 18%) and Egypt (4 out of 38 trials, 11%). The majority of studies investigated the efficacy of pharmacological interventions, were short in duration, and employed a double-blind design. The quality of reporting was generally poor. We found six trials comparing antipsychotics from the WHO Essential List of Medicine versus new generation antipsychotics. In terms of efficacy and acceptability, these studies failed to show any advantage of newer antipsychotics over first-generation agents. Conclusions We observed an impressive mismatch between the number of individuals with schizophrenia living in African countries, estimated to be around 10 million, and the overall number of patients included in African trials, which is less than 2,000. These few trials were of low quality and appeared not to reflect the real needs of the population. We argue that the concept of pragmatism should be introduced into the design of randomized trials in African countries. Pragmatic trials should investigate whether treatments, given in real-world circumstances, really have clinically meaningful effects.</p
Discovering ante litteram models of writing that heals and saves. After Giuseppe Berto, Marianna Procopio
No full textIf the theories that came from America could have had no influence on Berto’s Il male oscuro, an established and successful author in whom I accidentally discovered for the first time an ante litteram model of narrative medicine, much less could they have had on the writing of a rather singular book, published in Padua 1962, with the title Diario e altri testi. The book consists of four parts. The text that interests us is contained in the first of them, subtitled Malattia e morte della madre, and divided into several unnumbered chapters. The author is Marianna Procopio. An atypical case from a literary point of view, Marianna was a housewife born at the end of the nineteenth century in Calabria, with an education that stopped at the third grade, and she wrote for the first time in her life at the age of fifty, after a trauma caused by the death of her mother. This event broke Marianna’s life into two parts
that would never be reunited again and rises in her mind to the disturbing grandeur of an epochal era, placing all the rest of the events in a ‘relative’ time that was either before or after it. Wandering around the rooms of the house in vain search for a presence that is such only in her imagination and dreams, Marianna finds in fixing memories on paper, in reviewing the moments that slowly led her mother to death, in continuously updating the calendar of the anniversary, a catharsis from the suffering that is offered by the liberating function of writing. Marianna Procopio’s Diary is therefore the second ante litteram narrative
medicine model I discovered
Very fragrant silence - reflections on the novel "La lunga vita di Marianna Ucrìa" by Dacia Maraini
No full textThe article devoted to novel La lunga vita di Marianna Ucrìa of Dacia Maraini constitutes a
reflection upon cognition by means of senses. The analysis concerns the experience of
cognition of the world (people, situations, places) by the main character, deaf and dumb
person, whose sensual cognition of the reality is dominated by the sense of sight and smell.
The analysis concentrates on the character of smelling sensations, indicating their crucial but
forgotten function of the contact with the reality and its interpretation. The article highlights
the problem of non verbality and non-divisibility of perceptions of the sense of smell, which
the author of the novel Dacia Maraini faced
