Digitale, cultura e sviluppo nella transizione Covid: una interpretazione berliniana
No full textIl presente contributo prende spunto dall’esperienza del progetto PO FESR AUGuSTUS, esperienza che vuole generare un nuovo modo di fruire dei beni culturali con tecnologie innovative. Nel quadro delle attività di ricerca condotte presso il dSEAS, ci siamo interessati alle motivazioni che hanno spinto (pre-COVID) i gestori dei beni culturali europei ad adottare strategie consapevoli e formalizzate di digitalizzazione dei contenuti gestiti. Basandoci sulla survey ENUMERATE (Fricano, Pirrone 2020; Nauta et al. 2017), si è constatato come (pre-COVID) la motivazione più significativa fosse quella di una migliore conservazione dei beni, in un’ottica di non-uso
L’espace de liberté comme mesure synthétique du développement territorial durable
No full textPar la mise en débat du concept de développement, les auteurs proposent deux indicateurs synthétiques fondés sur une évaluation de potentiel. Sous l’hypothèse, faible, que tout développement réussi élargit le potentiel futur, la variation de potentiel est une mesure pertinente du développement. Dans l’analyse, les auteurs montrent combien l’espace de développement est intimement lié à l’étendue des libertés : une réduction de ces dernières entraîne mécaniquement une baisse des indicateurs. Fiable en conditions d’analyse, la méthode sera prochainement testée en situation réelle, afin de vérifier la pleine disponibilité des données sur des territoires divers et de sécuriser les modalités de calcul
Patrimonio culturale e tecnologia: un incontro ancora da valorizzare
No full textToday, many factors are driving cultural institutions to adopt digitization strategies. For some of them, as organizations in charge of monument care, historical or archaeological museums and heritage parks, this might be critical. Indeed, making available off-site experiences of heritage places, for instance by augmented reality and/or video games, fuels polyvalent and potentially contradictory dynamics. They lay at the intersection of three main dimensions: understanding how cultural heritage and technology interact; which attitudes people in charge of cultural heritage bear, and how tourist destinations are built and promoted. The paper combines information about the evolution of the literature with the European survey ENUMERATE and
data on the digital content market. Thus, it returns a critical portrait of the state of art and it outlines future research paths, as well as suggestions for involving the institutes in charge of cultural heritage in a digital strategy process
An approach for estimating the net change in tourism demand for a destination due to COVID-19
No full textMobility restrictions and fear of COVID-19 infection have led individuals to change their travel behaviours. These changes create the possibility that a destination both attracts tourists it would not have gained without the pandemic (visit-creating effect) while losing others it would have typically attracted (visit-diverting effect). We propose a methodology to estimate the net change in demand due to COVID-19. It involves jointly estimating actual demand (visits or nights completed with COVID-19) and counterfactual demand (visits or nights that would have been completed without COVID-19) within a pseudo-panel data framework. Counterfactual data is constructed by combining actual demand with gained and lost demand attributable to COVID-19, identified through survey data. Focusing on domestic tourism demand in Hauts-de-France, France, we find a slight net decline in visits (−2.2%) but no significant change in nights spent. Ignoring the visit-creating effect or attributing all cancellations to COVID-19 exaggerate the pandemic’s negative effect
Creative Hubs and the Cultural Divide: Exploring European Creative Collaborations
No full textThe economies generated within the creative and cultural sectors are playing an increasing role in international competition between territories. Collaborations and synergies between territories can create the right conditions for the overall growth of cultural economies and make the them more attractive and better performing. Building collaborative cultural policies is challenging due to the parties’ differing attitudes, priorities, and resources. In this contribution, we have focused on the funds made available by the Framework Program of the European Commission dedicated to developing cultural and creative sectors. The analysis highlights the characteristics of a network of collaborations between partners of different cities. Our results show non-trivial features linked to the cultural-creative dimensions of cities. Findings unveil complex cultural-creative collaboration dynamics. Results show that effective collaborative policies require carefully balancing diverse attitudes
Piattaforme oil and gas e sviluppo turistico: evidenze da una analisi esplorativa sull’accettabilità del decommissioning circolare
No full textLo studio propone una lettura dell’accettabilità sociale del decommissioning circolare delle piattaforme oil and gas a fini di sviluppo turistico con una particolare attenzione alle installazioni presenti in Italia. Esso mostra come: 1) il pubblico riconosca un certo potenziale di riutilizzo turistico delle piattaforme; 2) l’accettabilità sociale sia ostacolata da distorsioni percettive; 3) la modifica di tali percezioni richiedano compiute policy di marketing sociale.This study focuses on the social acceptability of oil and gas platforms circular decommissioning and its potential for tourism development purposes, especially in Italy. It shows how: 1) the public acknowledges potential for reusing and repurposing offshore platforms for tourism development; 2) social acceptability is hindered by biased perceptions; 3) changing perceptions will require non-trivial social marketing policie
Strategic Adoption of Immersive Technologies in Cultural Heritage and Tourism
No full textImmersive technologies are at a crossroads, with many actors pondering their adoption. The cultural and tourism industries are particularly impacted, facing significant pressure to make decisions that
could shape their future landscapes. Stakeholders’ perceptions play a
crucial role in this process, influencing the speed and extent of technology adoption. As immersive technologies promise to revolutionize
experiences, stakeholders in these sectors need to evaluate the benefits
and challenges of embracing such innovations. The current choices will
likely determine the trajectory of cultural preservation and tourism enhancement, potentially transforming how we engage with history, art,
and travel. Starting from a decomposition of stakeholders’ perceptions
into principal components using Q-methodology, this article employs
an evolutionary game model to forecast the possible scenarios and highlight potential decision-making trajectories. The proposed approach
highlights how evolutionary dynamics identify a dominant strategy that
emerges in the long-ter

Le preferenze dei consumatori verso i marchi e le etichette di qualità dei prodotti ittici
No full textIl consumo dei prodotti ittici è ormai sempre più analizzato per via delle implicazioni
socio-economico-ambientali che da esso ne derivano. Se da un lato un maggiore consumo è sicuramente positivo in termini di salubrità, dall’altro mette in crisi il sistema ambiente per l’eccessivo sfruttamento degli stock ittici. Negli ultimi anni, vi è stata inoltre una progressiva crescita dell’attenzione del consumatore all’impatto ambientale dei processi produttivi con la conseguente maggiore presenza sul mercato di prodotti che utilizzando brand e label associati procedure certificate cercano di aggiungere alla qualità dei prodotti ittici percepita dai consumatori anche componenti che valorizzano produzioni più eco-sostenibili. Dal confronto dei risultati delle survey sulle preferenze dei consumatori europei di prodotti ittici, si è analizzato il trend dei consumi per effetto della pandemia da COVID19 e l’importanza attribuita alle eco-label, ai marchi di qualità e ai brand
Investigating the Role of Prolactin as a Potential Biomarker of Stress in Castrated Male Domestic Dogs
Get PDFSimple Summary Although cortisol is usually considered the main reference for the assessment of stress, in some animal species it has been shown that prolactin can be used as a biomarker of both acute and chronic stress. Behavioural parameters can also be used to assess the state of welfare and stress. This study was aimed at evaluating the possible relationship between serum prolactin, serum cortisol and behavioural signs of stress in domestic dogs. To reduce the possible influence of some factors, the study was performed on a homogeneous sample formed by 40 castrated male Spanish Greyhound dogs housed in a dog shelter. The weak negative correlation found between serum cortisol and prolactin values agrees with results obtained in other studies, indicating that prolactin response might be an alternative to cortisol response. Prolactin has been recently regarded as a potential biomarker of both acute and chronic stress in several species. Since only few studies until now have focussed on domestic dogs, this study was aimed at evaluating whether prolactin, cortisol and stress behaviour correlated with each other in sheltered dogs. Both cortisol and prolactin analysis were performed in serum samples through a hormone-specific ELISA kit. For each dog, a stress score was calculated by summing the number of occurrences of stress-related behaviours. The presence/absence of fear during the time spent in the collection room was also scored for each individual. Results revealed a weak negative correlation between cortisol and prolactin levels. Neither of the hormones was correlated with the stress score, nor did their values seem to be influenced by showing fear in the collection room. The weak negative correlation found between cortisol and prolactin values agrees with results obtained in other studies, indicating that prolactin response might be an alternative to cortisol response. This, together with the high serum prolactin levels compared to those reported by other authors for healthy domestic dogs, may indicate that prolactin might be a good biomarker of chronic stress, and although further studies are needed to better understand the potential role of prolactin in the evaluation of canine welfare
