Hotel online pricing policy: A review and a regional case study
No full textThis paper provides a literature review on hotel online pricing policy. The review covers pricing strategies from three different perspectives: demand,
supply and regional characteristics. From the demand side, the reviewed literature
shows that electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) influences hotel room revenue and
overall performance. Also, e-WOM represents key information for hotel managers to understand customers’ needs as well their degree of satisfaction and loyalty.
Notably, reputation, built on online customers’ reviews, has an increasing role in
online pricing policy. On the supply side, research is still scarce and mostly anchored to the standard competition framework. The review reveals that hotel pricing strategy requires more innovation within a rather volatile and dynamic online
market. Besides, through a statistical analysis, this paper generalizes further the
finding that hotel online pricing policy is highly influenced by overall accessibility
to and mobility within a region
Scenari di riconversione dell'area del Bastione di San Filippo a Cagliari. Proposte progettuali per un distretto dell'arte| Perspectives for the reconversion of the San Filippo Bastion in Cagliari. New design proposals for an art district
No full textThe study for the possible conversion and enhancement of the San Filippo Bastion and the ancient Military Bakery in Cagliari is part of a wider research focused on the Savoy forts in Sardinia and on their possible reconversion to different military or civil uses. In fact, excluding few examples of reuse as civil museums included in this paper, the large part of this heritage is under-used, abandoned or even in a state of ruin.
San Filippo Bastion is a case in point because, even if the area is still owned and used by the Italian Army, it has been included in the list of possible disposals provided in 2008 by the Ministry of Defence, together with the local Regional Administration. In the actual lack of specific political strategies about its conversion to civil use, the paper illustrates an exploratory design project for possible reuse of the ancient fort as a new urban art district, in the event of a future military closure. Architecturally, the proposal stems from an in-depth historical and material analysis carried out in order to highlight
material and immaterial values, collected using the tool of the Raumbuch. On the urban scale, the project shone the spotlight on the military district as the activator of a wider cultural district, connecting the nodes of the already existing cultural network and providing new strategic polarities within the historic centre. In line with the evolved European cultural district examples, the design proposal for the creation of a new DAC Art District includes temporary workshops spaces, a museum trail between the ancient moats, converted bunkers and blockhouses, a library, reading spaces and a place for city
events. The ancient fortified structures of the Bastion and external fortified works are valued and rediscovered through a naturalistic modelling of slopes and ramparts, highlighting the defensive 18thcentury profiles and unlocking the potential of new panoramic routes and discovering new accessibility in the historic centre of Cagliari
La necropoli ipogeica di Cuccuru is Arrius (Cabras – Oristano). Nuovi elementi di cronologia assoluta
No full textLa necropoli a ipogei artificiali di Cuccuru is Arrius a Cabras (Oristano, Sardegna centro-occidentale), oggetto di scavi sistematici alla fine degli anni ’70, costituisce uno dei più antichi esempi di questa tipologia funeraria nel Mediterraneo occidentale. Le sepolture, perlopiù individuali in giacitura primaria con un corredo che comprende sempre una o più figurine antropomorfe in pietra, sono state inquadrate nell’ambito della cultura di Bonu Ighinu del Neolitico medio sulla base della tipologia del repertorio ceramico. Degli inumati è stato realizzato da tempo uno studio antropometrico integrale, tuttavia finora non si disponeva di una loro datazione diretta. Pertanto, restava ancora piuttosto indeterminato l’inquadramento cronologico complessivo della necropoli e l’eventuale articolazione interna della cultura di Bonu Ighinu. In questo studio sono presentati i risultati di un progetto di revisione e aggiornamento della cronologia del Neolitico antico e medio della Sardegna i quali, oltre a fornire indicazioni puntuali per alcuni degli ipogei di Cuccuru is Arrius, implementano le poche datazioni assolute finora disponibili per il Neolitico medio iniziale e ne permettono un corretto inquadramento nell’ambito di più estesi fenomeni di evoluzione culturale su scala interregionale
THE EFFECTS OF CAP PAYMENTS ON FARM EFFICIENCY: AN EU CROSS-COUNTRY INVESTIGATION
No full textThis paper investigates the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments in European countries (2005–2017). A two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed to measure economic efficiency and, following the Simar and Wilson (2007) procedure, in what measure direct payments have influenced firms’ performance. The findings reveal that the effect on economic efficiency is positive for all types of payments (i.e., total, coupled and decoupled). Notably, the findings showed a mixed effect of the stock of agricultural products on economic efficiency, which also may depend on socio-economic and geographical settings
Il Neolitico medio di Cuccuru is Arrius (Cabras, OR) nella struttura abitativa 422
No full textThe Cuccuru is Arrius site at Cabras (central-western Sardinia) was excavated extensively during 1978-1980. This site is well-known due to the presence of a relatively well-preserved Middle Neolithic hypogean necropolis. To this chronological period are assigned as well some structures belonging to an open-air village which spread some hundred meters eastwards, on the top of a sand dune (cuccuru) that gives its name to the entire site. Among these structures only the one numbered 422 was almost entirely excavated at the end of the 1979-1980 fieldwork. This is a wide open-air hollow structure designed to serve as a common place shared by more families in order to perform specialized activities. This interpretation is suggested by the presence of a wide partly structured fireplace and by the results of the whole analysis of the plentiful faunal remains found inside it. Typo-technological analysis of lithics and pottery finds led us both to identify several functional categories of artifacts in the site and to place them in their specific position inside the Bonu Ighinu Culture evolution, in agreement with the results of radiocarbon dating
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
