La catabasi e/è il cinema
No full textCinema is linked to the afterlife because from the very beginning it
has been a powerful metaphor for it. Indeed, writers and directors have often
perceived the dark cinema hall as a symbol of the world of the dead, and in fact
the characters projected on the screen recall the literary image of the deceased in
the Underworld. What is more, the cinema has also narrated the catabasis. Concerning
this aspect, this paper examines two examples: a fantasy/peplum from
the 1920s, Maciste all’inferno, and Lars von Trier’s recent psychological thriller

Novel Targets for Therapeutic Intervention in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Research Drives Clinic

No full textSeveral operations decisions are based on some kind of forecast of future demand. For this reason, manufacturing companies pay significant attention towards this process and research has devoted attention to this issue. This paper investigates the impact of how forecasting is conducted on accuracy and operational performances. Attention is here paid on three elements that characterize the forecasting process: whether structured techniques are adopted, whether detailed information is used, and the extent to which forecasting is used in decision making processes. Analyses are conducted by means of data provided by the fourth edition of the Global Manufacturing Research Group questionnaire. Data has been collect from 343 companies belonging to several manufacturing industries from 6 different countries. Empirical analysis shows that the relationship between how forecasting is conducted and operational performances is not fully explained only by taking into consideration forecast accuracy. Results show that companies adopting a structured forecasting process have positive impacts on operational performances (here manufacturing cost and delivery are considered) not only through improved accuracy. The paper highlights the importance of proper design of the forecasting process in manufacturing environments since it can help to better understand the forecasting problem (i.e. demand variability), may reduce bias and coordinates all forecast users
The impact of forecasting on companies' performance: Analysis in a multivariate setting
No full textOver the years, practitioners and researchers have devoted their attention to forecasting techniques and
methods that can be adopted to improve companies’ performance. However, forecasting techniques
alone are not enough since companies should also consider several other issues associated with
forecasting process management, e.g. how companies collect and use information on themarket, or
how the forecast is used in different decision-making processes. It is also important to understand the
existence of interaction effects between these different forecasting variables, as they could determine a
positive additional synergistic effect on companies’ performance. This paper aims to investigate what
relevant forecasting variables should be considered to improve companies’ performance, and whether
some forecasting variables can interact and influence performance with a synergistic effect. Analyses
are conducted by means of data collected by the Global Manufacturing Research Group (GMRG). Data
from a sample of 343 manufacturing companies in 6 different countries demonstrate that when
companies intend to improve cost and delivery performances, theyshould devote their attention to all
the different forecasting variables. In addition, the results found reveal the existence of positive
interaction effects between the collection and use of information on the market and the other
forecasting variables, as well as the existence of a negative interaction effect between the adoption of
forecasting techniques and the use of forecasts in several decision-making processes. These result shave
important implications for managers as they provide guidance on how to lever on the different
forecasting variables to maximize companies’ performance
