    Rural development and social network sites: a case study in Marche region (Central Italy

    No full text
    Websites, blogs and SNSs are important tools implemented by “active” web users who are willing to build their own “social network”. Many SMEs are seemingly using some of these tools in a “non active” manner that refers to an “adaptive behaviour” instead of a more favourable “proactive behaviour”. The paper investigates the actual use of web tools by private entrepreneurs acting in the rural tourism sector to strengthen marketing and communication programs. The authors analyze collected data in order to enucleate some “proactive behaviour” among local entrepreneurs to design future common and feasible economic choices. The real acting of SMEs in the web seems to be non active and in danger to loose great opportunities coming from enlargement and deepening of markets. Probably, the future best practice will be the building of durable relations with customers in order to achieve their retention and satisfaction by improving SNSs use in conjunction with others Web2.0 tools

    The main goal of the paper is to investigate the real possibility of improving web use in Marche region (Central Italy) to upgrade the competitiveness of the agricultural sector and improve the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging diversification of the rural economy. Most part of the european population (over 56%) lives in rural areas, which cover 91% of the entire territory, so that rural development is an important policy area for the EU. The fundamental rules governing rural development policy for the period 2007 to 2013 are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No. 1698/2005 that focuses on “improving the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sector; improving the environment and the countryside; improving the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging diversification of the rural economy”. Websites, blogs and SNSs are the most important tools implemented by “active” web users who are willing to build their own “social network”. Many SME are seemingly using some of these tools in a non active manner that refers to an “adaptive behavior” instead of a more aggressive “proactive behavior”. The paper is articulated in two sections. The first has the aim to investigate the actual use of web tools by private entrepreneurs acting in the rural tourism sector to achieve their own marketing and communication program. The authors refer on actual situation of the Rural Tourism as an opportunity for improving the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging diversification of the rural economy (the third of the “thematic axes” of the rural development policy for 2007 to 2013) in Marche region (Central Italy). The Rural Tourism in Marche region demonstrates great developing potentialities but still faces difficulties due to digital divide and lack of a common strategy. In particular the authors analyze the use of the web by local SME acting in the Rural Tourism sector (agritourism, country houses and others) and refer data collected from SNSs, search engines and blogosphere. In this particular, the aim is to enucleate some proactive behavior among local entrepreneurs in order to delineate future common and feasible economic choices. The current evolution of marketing tends to relationship marketing in private firms, organizations as well as in rural communities. The real acting of SME in the web seems to be non active and in danger to loose the main opportunities coming from huge enlargement and deepening of markets. The probably best practice to be adopted in the future is the building of durable relations with customers in order to achieve their retention and satisfaction by improving SNSs use in conjunction with others Web2.0 tools

    Modeling collaborations content in social network analysis

    This paper presents a methodology and a software application to support the analysis of collaborations and collaboration content in scientific communities. High quality terminology extraction, semantic graphs and clustering techniques are used to identify the relevant research topics. Social analysis tools are then used to study the emergence of interests around certain topics, the evolution of collaborations around these themes, and to identify potential for better cooperation. © 2008 IEEE

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
