    The present work provides an assessment of the environmental quality of the coastal arc of north Sardinia, compared with that in the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea (Sardinia, Tuscany and Liguria), in order to complement the study with an analysis of strategic assets located in the territory as a whole. The study analyses the different components of the tourist services, with particular reference to pleasure boating (ports, basic and value-added services to boats, boaters, and other professionals who are interacting with the local harbour), in order to develop a strategy to improve the supply, modifying and integrating it with additional innovative services and to manage the best marketing efforts by identifying the subjects that decide about the holiday destination. What emerged was a gap in terms of information about coastal and inland areas near the ports, of indications concerning the many activities that the sea itself offers, beyond the simple navigation, of complementarily between ports and integration with the food supply chain and with the cultural offer of the territories. Considering such results, it is all the more remarkable to note that the two provinces analysed do have environmental and cultural resources which should only be promoted in the most appropriate way in order to implement a strategy to maximise the tourist inflow, to extend the stay or the permanence of the boats, to manage the seasonal adjustment of the presence of tourists and boaters in particular

    La qualità della comunicazione via web per la promozione del turismo nautico

    Per le imprese turistiche la presenza sul web è di primaria importanza, al fine di inserirsi sul mercato turistico internazionale e interfacciarsi con gli utenti, sia potenziali sia effettivi. In questo lavoro viene analizzato il ruolo della comunicazione web nell'ambito del turismo nautico, con particolare riferimento ai porti turistici. Viene quindi proposto un modello di analisi della qualità dei siti web dei porti turistici, che viene poi applicato ad un campione di porti turistici italiani del nord della Sardegna. La valutazione risultante, integrata da un confronto con adeguati benchmark nazionali ed esteri, permette di individuare e proporre una serie di politiche e strumenti operativi finalizzati alla valorizzazione dei porti turistici e alla promozione del turismo nautico attraverso il web e i social media

    The harmonic and melodic connection numbers involving the mutual inclusions among the generic groups of notes arbitrarily emitted

    The present paper is aimed to provide specific details and new results related to the music network described in the previous study by the author. While the first paper served as an introduction and extensive analysis of the model in all its potential applications, the present study is aimed at providing supplementary data to quantitatively support the previous one. The music concepts described in the present paper concern the evaluation of all the potential mutual inclusions and connections among chords, scales, and more in general any generic group of notes arbitrarily played by each musician. These concepts characterize the specific algorithm purposely developed and implemented in an interactive software application tool that can be employed for performing the melodic and harmonic analyses of any kind of tune. Geometric music graphs that take into account these groups are automatically designed by the software in order to trace the harmonic and melodic zones touched by each music composition. These geometric graphs are constituted by the connections (that can also represent mutual inclusions) among the generic groups of notes. The primary focus of the present paper is on the quantitative results and data characterizing the inner structure related to these graphs

    Southern European Ports and the Spatial Distribution of EDCs

    In the early 1990s the birth of an EU borderless trade area triggered radical changes in the logistic strategy of distributors and manufacturers in order to better serve the new, enlarged, European market. The old country-based approach has been progressively replaced by a continental one, founded on a different network of distribution facilities. The process of hubbing and the creation of European Distribution Centres (EDCs), led to an unprecedented logistics restructuring. The paper aims at outlining the main reasons of this evolution, highlighting pros and cons of this strategic choice and the impact on the development plans of sea ports. The recent EU enlargement from 15 to 25 members is generating a new change leading to a de-concentration of the distribution system for main manufacturers, setting up new EDCs in the Eastern Europe. The paper focuses on the implications of this reverse trend and investigates the role that Southern range ports can play in this further logistics restructuring, as they represent a strategically located gateway to serve these regions

    In questo lavoro sono stati analizzati, per quanto riguarda alcuni parametri qualitativi (acidità libera, numero di perossidi ed alchil esteri) e compositivi (contenuto in aldeidi alifatiche a lunga catena), 15 campioni di olio provenienti dalla lavorazione delle olive reperiti sul mercato internazionale così suddivisi: 3 campioni di oli extravergini di oliva genuini di origine certa, 2 oli lampanti ed i 2 corrispondenti oli raffinati, 4 oli prodotti dalla seconda lavorazione delle olive (repaso) e 4 raffinati di diversa provenienza. I risultati hanno mostrato l’assenza di alchil esteri tanto negli oli extravergini quanto in quelli raffinati, mentre il loro contenuto è risultato elevato negli oli lampanti (63-607 mg/kg) e repaso (416-1597 mg/kg). Per quanto riguarda lo squalene, il contenuto era ben evidente negli oli extravergini, mentre era molto inferiore tanto negli oli repaso quanto nei raffinati. Infine, sia negli oli repaso che in quelli lampanti è stata rilevata una concentrazione più elevata, rispetto agli altri campioni, di aldeidi alifatiche a lunga catena. Future ricerche verranno condotte su un più ampio numero di campioni prendendo in considerazione oli lampanti di altre aree di provenienza (Italia e Paesi del Mediterraneo) così come campioni di oli ottenuti mediante diverse condizioni di raffinazione
