No full textSmoothing down arbitrariness in planning: From SWOT to participatory decision making
Full text linkSWOT analyses are frequently employed in land use planning, the literature proposes improved versions for reducing decision-making arbitrariness, however some drawbacks remain. The purpose of this paper is to design the methodological steps of participatory land use planning through a three-fold SWOT, yielding a strategy that is both feasible and in line with the residents’ vision. First, residents are interviewed with open-ended questions permitting them to freely express their ideas. Institutional players are involved next, through a modified Nominal Group Technique. Prioritization of factors is reached through an automatic algorithm that synthesizes the opinions of residents and institutional players, while avoiding the compensation between low scores for some criteria and high scores for others, so that the community’s view is not overpowered. The prioritization is also based on the interconnection between factors, to ensure feasibility of the strategy indicated. The results of our illustrative application show that this method can lead to community-based entrepreneurial land use. Unexpectedly, in the small area considered, institutional players place greater consideration on the development perspective of local businesses, compared to residents, who display a greater environmental consciousness and commitment to biodiversity conservation
Inbound Tourists in Italy: An Analysis of Individual Satisfaction in the Main Italian Destinations
Full text linkThe present work aims at bringing about an empirical analysis of the inbound tourism market in Italy, from the perspective of the individual tourist. We analyze more than a million satisfaction judgments, retrieved from the extensive survey by the Central Bank of Italy, spanning the period 1997-2013, focusing on the visitors’ socio-demographic and trip-related characteristics Moreover, following the Multi-Attribute Level approach and the Importance-Performance interpretative framework, satisfaction is proposed as a measure to evaluate tourism areas’ attractiveness and the performances of destinations’ assets
Reaction of uranyl(2+) and thorium(4+) ions with methylthymol blue in aqueous acidic medium
No full textUO22+ reacts in aq. solns. with Methylthymol Blue (I) to give 1:1 and 2:1 complexes and Th4+ reacts with I to give 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2 complexes. The complexes were studied spectrophotometrically and their molar absorptivities at selected wavelengths (530-600 mm) and complex formation consts. are given. The dinuclear complexes absorb at a higher wavelength than the mononuclear complexes. Dinuclear complex formation depends on acidity and soln. compn. Structures of these complexes are proposed

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
