Oltrepassare le soglie per accedere alla conoscenza del patrimonio
No full textRendere accessibili i monumenti, come le opere maggiori e minori, che costituiscono il nostro patrimonio culturale significa dotarli di apposite soglie per oltrepassare quegli sbarramenti determinati dalla presenza di barriere sia fisiche sia culturali. Se per il superamento delle prime si interviene con interventi strutturali e architettonici che necessariamente devono essere gestiti da esperti di restauro, per il superamento delle barriere culturali entra in azione la disciplina del design della comunicazione visiva e con essa i designer in grado di adottare i corretti registri di traduzione dei contenuti in forme visuali di modo che questi possano essere fruiti da un pubblico ampio, in cui solo le differenze costituiscono il vero comune multiplo.Making monuments accessible, such as major and minor works, which constitute our cultural heritage means providing them with special thresholds to overcome those barriers determined by the presence of both physical and cultural barriers. If to overcome the former, structural and architectural interventions are intervened that necessarily must be managed by restoration experts, to overcome cultural barriers the discipline of visual communication design comes into action, and with it the designers capable of adopting the correct translation registers of contents in visual forms so that they can be enjoyed by a wide audience, in which only the differences constitute the true common multiple

The local-scale impact of soil salinization on the socioeconomic context: An exploratory analysis in Italy
No full textSoil salinization is a relatively common form of soil degradation in Europe threatening coastal areas and fertile lowlands and altering the long-term interplay between natural and human factors at the local scale. While rural areas with degraded soils are often characterized by poverty, unemployment and subsidence agriculture, less information is available on the relationship between soil salinization and various socioeconomic profiles typically observed in Mediterranean Europe. Using a large set of territorial indicators made available at the municipal scale in Italy, the present study explores the spatial correlation between an index of vulnerability to soil salinization and six socioeconomic domains (population structure/dynamics and human settlements, labor market and human capital, economic specialization and competitiveness, quality of life, agriculture and rural development, landscape and environment). An exploratory data analysis was carried out to derive a socioeconomic profile of the municipalities with low and high vulnerability to soil salinization. Results indicate that the socioeconomic profile of vulnerable areas is characterized by specific rural development variables, income patterns and socio-demographic structure. Young population, density of bank deposits, crime intensity, high density of workers, and a land-use structure dominated by irrigated crop and discontinuous built-up areas with a lower per-worker crop surface are the indicators contributing the most to determine the profile of rural communities in areas vulnerable to soil salinization. An in-depth knowledge of the socioeconomic context and socio-environmental relationships on a local scale may contribute to design effective policies of soil conservation and sustainable land management strategies
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
Corporate museums, heritage marketing and rural development: cases from Italy Proceedings of the ESU 2019 conference and doctoral programme on entrepreneurship (Naples, 8-14 September 2019)
No full textThe book is a collection of papers and research proposals accepted and presented at the ESU 2019 CONFERENCE AND DOCTORAL PROGRAMME ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP. The Conference has been organized by the University of Sannio, in partnership with the University of Naples Parthenope and the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, and it was held in Naples (Italy) from the 8th to the 14th of September 2019.Heritage marketing has become a powerful communication strategy with tangible and intangible benefits for companies in terms of identity, solidity, trust building, preservation of memory, promotion of products traditionally rooted in a specific area. This paper aims at analysing the heritage marketing strategies of two Italian agri-food companies: Strega Alberti (Campania) and Distilleria Varnelli (Marche Region) also for understanding their potential contribution to the development of rural areas

No full textComparative Life Cycle Assessment of Two Different Packaging Systems for Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Glass Bottle vs. 100% Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottle
No full textUsing the Life Cycle Assessment methodology, this study assesses the environmental sustainability of two packaging alternatives for extra virgin olive oil: the glass bottle and the PET bottle produced with 100% of recycled PET granulate. Six scenarios were compared varying on the type of packaging system and the distribution phase (in terms of distribution country and logistics). The life cycle impacts of the scenarios were estimated with the ReCiPe 2018 H evaluation method, using both the midpoint and endpoint approaches. The findings highlighted the higher environmental sustainability of the recycled PET system compared to the glass system for all the impact categories considered, but especially in terms of the global warming potential, particulate formation, terrestrial acidification, and fossil fuel scarcity for which life cycle impacts of the R-PET were lower than 40% compared to those of the glass system. In terms of global warming, the glass system was responsible for 790-1137 kg CO2 eq. (in function of the destination country considered); while the R-PET system, in the same conditions, showed impacts of 459-634 kg CO2 eq. This is mainly due to the high weight of the glass bottle that affected the impacts of both the production and distribution phases. The mode of transport affected the impacts of the distribution phases highlighting how ship transport was more sustainable than truck transport, even when considering greater distribution distances. The LCA results can help consumers make more informed choices with a view to sustainability, as well as disprove the prejudices that consumers often have towards glass bottle packaging alternatives
Advancing communication in solid waste management: leveraging life cycle thinking for environmental sustainability
No full textCommunication is often taken for granted, yet its importance in solid waste management cannot be underestimated. This article explores the importance of effective communication in the field and delves into how Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) can enhance communication and decision-making. It provides a departure from the traditional technical approach, introducing novel perspectives. Through a systematic review of the literature studies published on the topic, the paper examines key aspects of communication and emphasises its critical role in promoting sustainable waste management practices, highlighting the need for competent and well-prepared communication across all sectors. It concludes with compelling recommendations on utilising LCT as a powerful tool to improve communication, enabling stakeholders to gain a holistic understanding of the environmental impacts of their decisions and facilitating informed choices. Through the integration of LCT and effective communication, solid waste management can move closer to achieving sustainable production and consumption practices, reducing environmental impact, and embracing circular economy principles. This article contributes to the literature on solid waste management by shedding light on the crucial link between LCT and communication. LCT, integrated into communication strategies, is instrumental in comprehensively conveying the environmental and social impacts of waste management, fostering understanding and engagement among stakeholders. Collaborative involvement of experts in solid waste management and communication is vital for effective communication. The study recommends investigating LCT and awareness campaigns, communication channels, multi-sector collaboration, technology, cross-cultural communication, policy integration, public-private partnerships, and communication scalability
