Inbound tourism and long-run economic growth
No full textThere is an upsurge of literature investigating the relationship between inbound tourism
expansion and economic growth with special emphasis on developing countries. Some
countries – such as Spain and Italy – can be taken as examples of demonstrating such
a successful trajectory. This paper provides an empirical investigation of the evolution
of the Spanish and Italian economies and their respective tourism sectors from the
1950s and 1960s, respectively. This research is theoretically based on the literature on
demand-based growth and the methodology adopted is that of the integration,
cointegration and multivariate Granger causality tests. The results show the influencing
role of inbound tourism for both economies
Collocazioni verticali: metafore di orientamento up/down nella lingua latina
No full textIn cognitive semantics research, orientational metaphors based on the spatial opposition between a ‘high’ pole, typically associated with positive concepts, and a ‘low’ pole, negatively connoted instead, have been found to be pervasive cross-linguistically because they are rooted in the concrete primary experience that humans have of their bodies in space. Recent studies have shown that these observations are also valid for an ancient language such as Latin. Starting from these premises, the aim of this study is to illustrate the types of verb-noun collocations that are built on metaphorical patterns based on this vertical opposition (e.g., residet furor vs. amor exoritur) and to explore the complex relationship between the metaphorization of emotions and their lexicalization into verb-noun collocations. Specifically, we analyze the conceptualization of emotions organized along the up/down vertical opposition, which, in Latin, still deserves to be explored in depth. As the phenomenon lies at the interface between syntax, semantics and cognition, this study can be ascribed to the recent strand of research in Cognitive Classical Linguistics (Short & Mocciaro 2019), which aims to apply approaches developed in cognitive linguistics to the study of Classical languages, exploring the role and nature of cognitive processes in the structuring and functioning of linguistic expressions

Have Low-Cost Carriers Influenced Tourism Demand and Supply? The Case of Alghero, Italy
No full textThis article analyzes how the introduction of low-cost carriers has influenced tourism activity in a European destination, namely the town of Alghero (Italy). This can be addressed via a multiple stage approach. Firstly, a descriptive analysis highlights the dynamics of tourism demand
and supply in the past three decades. Secondly, a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model with intervention variables is employed to highlight the influence that low-cost flights have had on the town of Alghero. Finally, the relationship between demand and supply is
analyzed via a Granger test. The findings indicate that low-cost carriers have influenced both domestic and international tourism demand, albeit to differing degrees. The article offers policy direction on how tourism infrastructures should be developed according to an economic and environmental
sustainability perspective.</jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
TEORIA DELL'ARTE
No full textPubblicato a Madrid nel 2002, il volume di José Jiménez è, insieme, una brillante introduzione ai problemi fondamentali dell'estetica e una proposta teorica che raccoglie le sfide poste alla teoria filosofica dell'arte dagli sviluppi contemporanei delle pratiche artistiche.
Da un lato, l'Autore fornisce i punti di orientamento necessari per muoversi all'interno della storia dell'estetica e, dall'altro, animato da una forte tensione etica, rivendica il ruolo del giudizio e, con esso, quello del pensiero che lo fonda, mostrando come soltanto una solida riflessione teorica consenta di orientarsi nel labirinto delle arti contemporanee
Combining cytotoxic agents with continuous dose levels in seamless phase I-II clinical trials
No full textPhase I-II cancer clinical trial designs are intended to accelerate drug
development. In cases where efficacy cannot be ascertained in a short period of
time, it is common to divide the study in two stages: i) a first stage in which
dose is escalated based only on toxicity data and we look for the maximum
tolerated dose (MTD) set and ii) a second stage in which we search for the most
efficacious dose within the MTD set. Current available approaches in the area
of continuous dose levels involve fixing the MTD after stage I and discarding
all collected stage I efficacy data. However, this methodology is clearly
inefficient when there is a unique patient population present across stages. In
this article, we propose a two-stage design for the combination of two
cytotoxic agents assuming a single patient population across the entire study.
In stage I, conditional escalation with overdose control (EWOC) is used to
allocate successive cohorts of patients. In stage II, we employ an adaptive
randomization approach to allocate patients to drug combinations along the
estimated MTD curve, which is constantly updated. The proposed methodology is
assessed with extensive simulations in the context of a real case study.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2106.0827
Minor stressors and coping with everyday stress in secondary-school students: The Learned Helplessness Model revisited
No full textIn the Learned Helplessness model, the experience of uncontrollable aversive events is a key factor in the appearance of helplessness symptoms. In its latest version, the Hopelessness Theory of Depression, this model posits that hopelessness expectancies, which consist of perceiving the future in a hopeless way, depend on attributing negative events to stable and global causes. In this study we explore whether minor stressors and coping style also predict hopelessness expectancies and hopelessness depression symptoms. We used the Problem Questionnaire (Seiffge-Krenke, 1995), the Coping Across Situations Questionnaire (Seiffge-Krenke, 1995), the Hopelessness Scale (Beck et al., 1974), the Hopelessness Depression Symptoms Questionnaire (Metalsky & Joiner, 1997) and the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1961) in a sample of 373 students (aged 11-18 yrs). Results showed that minor stressors predicted hopelessness expectancies and hopelessness depression symptoms. The regression analyses revealed that active coping predicted significantly lower hopelessness scores, while withdrawal coping predicted significantly higher hopelessness scores. Our results revealed that withdrawal coping also predicted significantly higher hopelessness depression symptoms scores. These findings appear to support the approach of Soria, Otamendi, Berrocal, Caño & Rodríguez-Naranjo (2004) whose findings emphasize the importance of recovering the perception of non contingency in the prediction of hopelessness
