La stima dell'indennità per servitù di elettrodotto coattivo mediante uno studio del mercato fondiario in Puglia
Full text linkHigh-voltage overhead transmission lines on farmland imply a permanent easement. System operators should compensate for expropriation of land and depreciation of the remaining farm area, but recognize only the former. Therefore, landowners often appeal to the law courts for fairer refunds. This study highlights that the area occupied by plinths and cabins, the height of pylons and the type of intersection are the main sources of depreciation. Moreover, electric transmission lines depreciate the residual farm area, but involving only two narrow strips of land on either side of infrastructures. Finally, the depreciation tends to decrease rapidly as the distance from the transmission line increases
Propensity of farmers towards ecosystem services provision with tree landraces
No full textAgrobiodiversity encompasses the diverse range of agricultural crop systems. The adoption of agrobiodiversity leads to the provision of valuable ecosystem services, highlighting the importance of biodiversity in the context of food and agriculture. Unfortunately, significant loss of genetic diversity has occurred in recent decades, resulting in a severe decline in provisioning, regulating, support, and cultural services. The conservation efforts of farmers have played a crucial role in preserving landraces, which involves the exchange of propagating materials, seeds, and information on traditional cultivation techniques. Farmers are therefore vital agents in the conservation of genetic resources. This study aims to analyze Apulia’s farmers' intentions to incorporate agrobiodiversity into their farms, considering various factors that influence crop choice. An extended version of the "Theory of Planned Behavior" (TPB) is adopted: attitudes, social norms, and perceptions of control are examined as determinants that interact with factors such as knowledge of landraces, socio-demographic characteristics, profiles of farms, and opinions on different types of valorization processes. The use of structural equation modeling (SEM) allows for the exploration of the pathways for agrobiodiversity valorization. Preliminary findings reveal that farmers are more likely to accept and adopt agrobiodiversity when it aligns with certain respondent profiles, such as self-consumption or local markets oriented and those who possess familiarity with valorization processes and environmental issues. This study contributes to the identification of factors that can contribute to achieving the goals of a more sustainable agriculture in terms of ecosystem services provision
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
Pulses for healthy and sustainable food systems: The effect of origin on market price
Full text linkPulses are widely acknowledged for their high nutritional value due to high protein content, low content in calories, and low glycemic index; they are a good alternative to animal proteins thus offering a considerable number of social, environmental, and health benefits. Despite pulses being widely acknowledged as healthy and sustainable food, in mainly European countries, consumption is growing but still lower than the recommended level, production is unprofitable in comparison to the current market prices level, and a reduction in harvested area has led to a strong dependence on import for pulses supply. Pulses are particularly fitting to the feature of local food because they can be suitably grown in any context, even in the most complex areas, and consumer interest and awareness of food origin has strongly increased in recent years. Lentils were selected as a case study in this paper that aims to define which features are effective on market price and, in particular, the role of origin declaration on label plays in defining the market price and how the origin attributes may enhance market price and farms competitiveness. The methodological tool for this investigation is the hedonic price model, useful to explain the effects of attributes of pulses affecting the market price. Results contribute to a better understanding of the pulse market, emphasizing that the “origin declaration” on label may have a positive effect on market price
Health-Nutrients and Origin Awareness: Implications for Regional Wine Market-Segmentation Strategies Using a Latent Analysis
No full textA healthy-nutrient wine has been recently developed by Apulian wineries (southern Italy),
using autochthonous wine grapes cultivars, selected strains and specific processes of production.
As such, this research elicits Italian wine consumers’ preferences towards this innovative Apulian
wine with regard to additional labelling information associated with health-nutrients and the origin
of grapes on the bottle of wine. For this purpose, a social survey based on the choice experiment
approach is considered. The results reveal a heterogeneity of preferences among respondents for
which the origin of wine grapes cultivars is the most appreciated (an average Willingness-to-Pay of
EUR 6.57), thereby inducing an increase in their function utility, while the health-nutrients attribute
is relatively less appreciated (an average Willingness-to-Pay of EUR 3.95). Furthermore, four class
consumers’ cluster profile have been identified in respect to their: (i) behavior and propensity to wine
consumption and purchase, (ii) health-claims importance on the wine bottle label, (iii) socio-economic
characteristics and (iv) health conditions. This paper has marketing and public implications and
contributes to an understanding of how additional information on the label of a wine bottle may
affect the market-segmentation, influence wine consumers’ utility, protect their health and increase
their level of awareness to wine ingredients labelling
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
