Halal Tourism: Evolution, Trends, and Future Outlook
No full textHalal tourism has evolved from pilgrimage-centered practices to a dynamic global industry shaped by economic, cultural, and technological transformations. This chapter traces its development from the pre-2000s to the present, highlighting institutionalization, digitalization, and sustainability as key drivers. Particular attention is given to the role of Muslim-majority countries and the growing engagement of non-Muslim destinations in accommodating halal-friendly services. The analysis underscores the impact of middle-class expansion, Islamic finance, and digital platforms in shaping consumer behavior. Future prospects reveal diversification, inclusivity, and global expansion as defining features of halal tourism
Emerging Economic Challenges in the 2030 Agenda: Rethinking Models of Responsible Growth with a Particular Focus on the Italian Case
No full textThis contribution critically investigates the economic challenges that hinder the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, with particular reference to the Italian case. Persistent inequalities, regional disparities, and the regressive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are analyzed as structural obstacles to sustainable development. The essay explores alternative growth paradigms—such as the circular economy and redistributive fiscal policies—while emphasizing the role of corporate responsibility and sustainable finance in fostering regenerative economic models. By integrating national strategies with global instruments, the paper outlines policy directions aimed at inclusiveness, resilience, and long-term sustainability. Ultimately, reducing inequality emerges as a systemic condition for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and ensuring social cohesion
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

La bioetica di inizio vita nel diritto hindu e il (controverso) caso della gestazione per altri
Full text linkThe investigation commences with a series of preliminary consider- ations on the bioethics of the commencement of life as practiced by Hindus, with ref- erence to the role of procreation for individual adherents, to comprehend its perti- nence within the overarching framework of religious precepts. Moreover, this contri- bution proffers a delineation of parenting by substitution within the Hindu religion in circumstances of infertility or sterility. The analysis concludes with a discussion of the possibilities offered by Indian legislation for third-party reproduction, and devotes concluding reflections to this topic, which is currently the subject of a wide (not only religious) debate
