Purpose The research aims to investigate how individuals can be persuaded make purchases through repeated and personalized messages. Specifically, the study proposes a framework of potential benefits risks online behavioral data-driven digital advertising (OBA), which help researchers practitioners better understand shopping behavior in retailing setting. In addition, focuses on role privacy concerns affecting avoidance or adoption OBA. Design/methodology/approach authors apply structural...
African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most severe diseases pigs and has a drastic impact on pig industry. Wild boar populations play role ASF genotype II virus epidemiological reservoir. Disease surveillance in wild carried out either by testing all found sick or dead for detection (passive surveillance) (and antibodies) hunted (active surveillance). When prevalence density are low as it happens close to eradication, question which kind more efficient detecting still open. We built...
West Nile virus (WNV) transmission was much greater in 2018 than previous seasons Europe. Focusing on Emilia-Romagna region (northern Italy), we analyzed detailed entomological and epidemiological data collected 2013-2018 to quantitatively assess environmental drivers of explore hypotheses better understand why the season substantially different seasons. In particular, WNV detected at least two weeks before observed circulation 2013-2017 a larger number mosquito pools. Transmission resulted...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model impulse-buying that considers the impact mobile device use on shopping behaviour as tool for preparation or self-regulation. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained through single-stage mall intercept survey method using structured questionnaire involving 406 respondents interviewed after checkout. analysis was conducted structural equation modelling approach with LISREL 8.8. Findings results support most elements...
Foot and Mouth disease (FMD) transmission is strongly related to the distribution density of FMD-susceptible animals. In this study, we applied a model simulate spread FMD in three Italian regions with different livestock demographics (densely, medium, sparsely populated) order assess cost effectiveness control options within framework contingency plan. The results simulations showed that stamping-out was sufficient outbreak medium populated areas whereas, densely areas, only vaccinations...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role in-store mobile usage on purchase decision making in order understand whether and what extent use device changes shopper behavior terms planned unplanned purchases even across different retail store formats. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained using a structured questionnaire from 406 respondents interviewed hypermarket discount stores, after checkout. measured through t -tests analysis variance. Findings intensifies...
A semi-quantitative risk assessment was developed to classify pig farms in terms of the probability introduction African swine fever virus (ASFV). Following on-farm data collection via a specific checklist, we applied modified failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) calculate priority codes (RPC's), indicating increasing levels ranging from 1 5. The importance biosecurity measures attributed by experts. To consider geographic factors, classified based on local density farmed pigs, estimated...
Over the last decade, retailers and manufacturers alike are increasing their attention to role of instore mobile technology use with aim understand its impact on consumers’ decision making process. The rise channel, in fact, has produced disruptive changes shopping habits designed gradually reduce effectiveness in-store marketing levers influencing behaviour.This topic is paramount importance grocery sector since devote a lot investments activities influence decisions stimulate impulse...
The complex health problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) involves many host species, numerous bacteria and several routes transmission. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase AmpC (ESBL/AmpC)-producing Escherichia coli are among the most important strains. Moreover, wildlife hosts interest as they likely antibiotics free assumed environmental indicators AMR contamination. Particularly, wild boar (Sus scrofa) deserves attention because its increased population densities, with consequent risks at...
African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most severe suid diseases, impacting pig industry and wild populations. Once an ASF vaccine available, identifying a sufficient density vaccination fields will be crucial to achieve eradication success. In 2020–2023, we live-trapped monitored 27 boars in different areas Lithuania, which were fed at artificial stations. We built simulation study estimate probability successful as function eco-epidemiological factors. The average 32-day home range size...
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that infects wild and domesticated swine. In early 2022, the virus was found in boar Apennine mountains of mainland Italy.
Abstract The goal of this paper is to open the debate about effect customer specific retail marketing on competition. Segmentation and targeting based loyalty card information affects horizontal vertical relationships. Few retailers can take advantage power connected ownership information. Consumers benefit from a more targeted approach value creation but distribution such varies widely, as consequence micro-targeting. A second test new way conducting joint research with practitioners. An...
Abstract This research examines the determinants in building and maintaining customer loyalty grocery retailing. The first part introduces a distinction between traditional, 'mass' levers such as range price, relational, 'targeted' based on individual information. second focuses role ofthese two sets of for differentiation, that is, to what extent they are perceived by customers distinctive retailer. For time, parallel analysis retailers consumers is used obtain dual perspective drivers....
Swine vesicular disease (SVD) was first observed in Italy 1966, and initially diagnosed as foot mouth (FMD). The causative agent of SVD classified an Enterovirus within the family Picornaviridae. It included list diseases notifiable to World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) because similarity its lesions those produced by FMD; however is often mild nature may infect pigs subclinically. During last decade has been persistently reported Italy, surveillance eradication activities are place....
At the end of 2006, a recrudescence swine vesicular disease (SVD) was recorded in Italy and spread widely throughout northern regions. Lombardy, densely populated pig area, most affected presence caused heavy economic losses to entire industry. Although SVD is considered only moderately contagious, epidemic north characterised by rapid condition. Numerous difficulties were encountered eradicating it. Over past decade, there has been significant increase population pigs concentrated mainly...
The complex biology underlying chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell migration and tissue invasiveness is not yet completely understood might provide novel predictive markers therapeutic targets. A total of 36 patients out treatment from at least 3 months were enrolled followed up for a median period 44.2 (range: 4.4-99.2). Matrix metalloprotease 9 inhibitor metalloproteases 1 plasma levels production/release lymphoid cells measured by zymography enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)...
