Abstract:
Mate is the most consumed beverage in South America. There is interest in expanding yerba mate sales into the old and new markets by promoting its health properties and energizing effects. The research study aims to explore Argentinian and Italian purchasing and consumption behavior and perception of yerba mate. The exploration includes agro-food chain stakeholders’ views, and consumers’ habits, perception, knowledge of yerba mate in relation to other market positioning caffeine-containing products. Data collection includes qualitative method, such as interviews with agro-food chain stakeholders, that is producers, processors, consumers, and quantitative consumer survey. Data collection was carried out in Argentina and in Italy. Results show that in Argentina yerba mate consumption is driven by habit and tradition, and in Italy yerba mate is mostly unknown. Consumers tend to drink yerba mate in Argentina and other caffeine-containing beverages in Italy to socialize, and as source of energy. Consumers have little awareness of yerba mate antioxidant properties. Yerba mate provides the energy of coffee drinking, and the taste and pleasure of tea drinking. Italian consumers’ key challenge to yerba mate drinking is the longer time it takes, compared to the usual espresso. Italians perceive it as an energetic or relaxing beverage, with a consumption experience similar to tea and infusions. There is need to update commercialization strategy of yerba mate in Italy.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper was twofold. First, we estimated consumer preferences for an Italian cheese (Provolone Valpadana) with respect to several attributes and levels, such as price, origin certification, production system, ‘free from’ labelling, and brand. Second, we identified consumer clusters with similar preferences for various cheese characteristics. Preferences were estimated using the conjoint analysis method. Then, a cluster analysis was used to classify consumers into different (three) clusters followed by a market simulation. In all three clusters, the attribute most preferred by Italian consumers was the brand of the cheese: consumers preferred to purchase Provolone cheese having the lowest price, produced by Auricchio, bearing a European Union (EU) quality certification, produced organically, and non-lactose-free. The results of our study provide helpful information to food companies for better segmenting their market and targeting their consumers, as well as effectively promoting their products using brands, certifications as organic and lactose-free. This study contributes to the literature on consumer preference for the EU labelling scheme (voluntary and mandatory). To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate this combination of multiple labels displayed on the front of Italian cheese packaging.

Abstract:
This paper aims at analyzing the consumers’ perception of grass-fed milk so as to understand if a production based on a sustainable business model could represent a response to new and emerging needs in consumption. The sample of the study was constituted by a total of 750 Italian members of the International Association Slow Food. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to summarize the quantitative variables, which, grouped in “dimensions”, were used as input for multivariate statistics (HCA, MCA) in order to define and explain consumer profiles. Our data confirm an in-progress change in milk consumption: Consumers were more oriented towards quality, local supply chains, traceability, and are characterized by an increasing propensity to a higher expense for grass-fed milk. Further research will enlarge the proposed panorama covering a sample of more general consumers. The study was a preliminary market analysis that could be used as the basis for a production, distribution, and consumption chain grass-fed-based model. Grass-fed milk is a product linking individual and societal needs for more sustainable production and entrepreneurship that creates a higher value product aligned with market needs.

Abstract:
Purpose: The study intends to expand the current literature on Italian consumers’ brand preferences between local vs. global alternatives in the specific Italian food sector. Design/methodology/approach: This study draws on concepts largely investigated like cultural identity theory, consumer ethnocentrism, and product category involvement to examine the mechanisms that drive Italian consumers to prefer alternative local or global brands in the food sector. A non-hierarchical cluster analysis represents the core part of the quantitative research that involved 412 participants. Findings: By confirming the validity of existing studies, the present paper contributes to the food consumption literature by testing a conceptual model that integrates previous research concepts, thus deepening the analysis of the factors affecting Italian consumers’ food brand preferences. The cluster analysis allowed for dividing Italian consumers into two distinguished groups with characteristics coherent inside the same group. Research limitations/implications: This study emphasizes the key relevance of the investigated variables in the implementation of positioning and communication strategies aimed at meeting the needs of specific markets in which firms operate, and it highlights the importance of analyzing those variables together. The sample composed of Italian consumers did not allow the generalizability of the results. Furthermore, this study focuses on the narrow category of chocolate bar products. Therefore, this does not permit the results to be generalized to other food products. Originality/value: The novel research is based on signaling theory that contributes to the local and global branding domains from the Italian perspective. This work is also the first to analyze the food sector and the importance that Italians attribute to their food products and traditions through a cluster analysis approach.

Abstract:
In Western society, the fresh-cut fruit market is experiencing significant growth, especially in Italy, where, in 2019, the fresh-cut fruit sales volume increased by 35% compared with the previous year. This study aims to understand Italian consumers’ demand for fresh-cut fruits and to explore whether this trend is also affected by the prevalence of healthy lifestyles. Health orientation seems, in fact, to be a growing trend in the food sector. Research has recognized that consumers’ orientation towards products that are ready to be consumed is not only related to saving time. Sociodemographic factors and psychometric variables, including values and lifestyles, play important roles in understanding consumer demand for convenience products. For this purpose, the food-related lifestyles (FRLs) tool was used to profile consumers. The FRLs tool is a useful instrument that describes different ways in which people use food to achieve their values in life. Data were collected by using an online survey carried out with Italian consumers of fresh-cut fruits. By using a cluster analysis technique, four Italian fresh-cut fruit consumer target groups were identified. The largest target group was represented by uninvolved consumers, who are not inclined to cook or plan meals and who are very influenced by the advertising of food products in their buying decisions. An interesting target group, which may represent a challenge for food enterprises in the sector, was health-oriented consumers, who attach great importance to organic certification and to product information. This target group was also characterized by older consumers with higher net monthly household incomes than other target groups.

Abstract:
Honey production is currently experiencing a great deal of media attention, with many positive attributes of this hive product emerging. The purpose of the study is to investigate consumer preference and what key information informs people’s purchase of honey. This study is based on consumer surveys and experimental evaluation. First of all, the relative importance assigned by consumers to 12 honey product attributes was defined by using the best–worst scaling (BWS) methodology. Secondly, the latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify different honey consumers based on preferences. The findings demonstrate that “health aspects” and “organoleptic compound” are the main categories of information that consumers tend to research. The sample segmentation defined four different consumer clusters: people who value health, sustainability, organic sourcing and quality. Additionally, socio-demographic characteristics such as age, education level and profession also played a part on consumer choice and the characterisation of each cluster. This study can contribute to fostering good nutrition and improving sustainability within communities.

Abstract:
Healthy food choices are crucial for a healthy lifestyle. However, food choices are complex and affected by various factors. Understanding the determinant factors affecting food choices could aid policy-makers in designing better strategies to promote healthy food choices in the general public. This study aims to evaluate the food choice motivations and to segment consumer groups, according to their food choice motivations, in a sample of 531 Italian consumers (collected by convenience sampling), through offline and online survey platforms. K-means cluster analysis was applied to identify consumer groups using six food choice motivation categories (health, emotional, economic and availability, social and cultural, environmental and political, and marketing and commercial). The results suggest that the strongest determinants for the food choices of Italian consumers are Environmental factors and Health. Two consumer profiles were identified through the segmentation analysis: Emotional eating and Health-driven consumers. The respondents were found to have a good awareness of what comprises a healthy diet. There is a potential market for healthy and sustainable food products, especially products with minimal or environmentally friendly packages. Food labels and information strategies could be promoted as tools to assist consumers to make healthy food choices.

Abstract:
The growing concern for environmental issues has underlined the need to promote sustainable consumption and production. Taking into consideration the three pillars of sustainability, honey should be seen as an important food from a sustainability perspective. Among honey varieties, the eucalyptus one is becoming increasingly popular with people for its aroma and the plant’s therapeutic properties. However, the beekeeping sector in Italy does not yet have sufficient knowledge and understanding of consumer needs with a view to increasing earnings. This paper aimed to analyze the drivers that make people pick eucalyptus honey and tries to investigate which extrinsic and intrinsic quality attributes affect consumer behavior. Data came from an online survey of 403 Italian honey consumers. An ordered Probit model was applied. The results show that consumers consider the taste, viscosity, therapeutic properties, brand reputation, variety, geographical indication, Italian origin, and organic certification of honey as the most important factors that drive the consumption of eucalyptus honey. The findings of the study should help the beekeepers and provide them with the right tools of communication, such as quality or sustainability labeling, thereby increasing their competitiveness.

Abstract:
This paper investigates consumers’ preferences for egg purchase in two European countries, Hungary and Italy. We utilize random parameter logit models to interpret the results of discrete choice experiments (DCE) for the elicitation of preference of the egg consumers. A sample of 403 in the Hungarian survey and 404 in the Italian survey were recruited in summer 2018. The DCE questionnaire includes the following product and process characteristics: organic labels, nutrition and health claims, and price. Our results show that for Hungarian and Italian consumers, the price is the most important attribute, followed by the nutrition and health claim and the organic production labelling. Three egg consumer segments can be identified via latent class models for each country. In both countries, we found similar consumer groups, the Price Sensitive and Quality Optimizing Opportunist Consumers and Health Conscious Buyers, respectively. Particularly, compared to the other segments the Health Conscious Buyers (46% in Hungary and 49% in Italy) exhibited stronger preference for and are willing to pay a higher price premium for eggs with organic label and nutrition claims. In Italy, we identified a third segment with consumers preferring simpler labelling approach, whilst in Hungary we found a consumer segment distrusting the EU organic logo.

Abstract:
In recent years, food sector and consumers’ behaviour towards food has changed significantly due to sustainability. The Global Risks Report 2020 classifies food crises as one of the main societal problems, which is strongly interconnected with water crises, extreme weather, climate action failure and other risks. Strong sustainable innovations are needed and that is why plant-based meat alternatives were invented. But the environmental concerns are not the only driving forces, there are also concerns associated to human health and animal welfare. Plant-based meat refers to products made from plant materials that are designed to mimic meat in every way, from taste, texture, smell, and appearance. Plant-based meat can be healthier and vastly more sustainable than conventional meat. But the main question is: Are the consumers able to switch from traditional meat to plant-based meat? This thesis aims to understand the Italian consumer behaviour towards plant-based meat and which are the driving factors and the barriers that influence the Italian consumers when it comes to consume these specific products. In order to do this, it will be distributed a survey based on the Attitude-Behavior-Context (ABC) Model that will take into consideration both rational perspectives and habits of consumers. A specific focus will be put on the resistance to change aspect using the Oreg scale to understand how strong or weak is the general predisposition to change of Italians. In addition, the Self Reported Habit index (SRHI) will be used to analyse how strong is the habit of consuming and buying traditional meat. As a conclusion, on the basis of survey results and on the basis of Habit Discontinuity Hypothesis, it will be given some advices and suggestions to companies that are planning to enter the Italian market with plant-based meat alternative products.

Fanning, Stephen. "Migration and marketing: The consumer acculturation of Italian-Australians." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2010. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2090.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores, through the lens of marketing theory, the migratory experiences of a group of Italian–Australians. Migration is generally accepted as a life-changing event, and, as such would be classified as a consumption activity of higher involvement than most consumption activities discussed within the marketing literature. The research employs an interpretivist qualitative methodology and adopts a multiple method constructivist approach to searching for, gathering and analysing data. This methodology is employed to accommodate the exploratory objectives of the study, and the personal and life-changing nature of migration. From an extensive literature review of migration and marketing three classic marketing theories were selected as guiding frameworks for the collection and analysis of data: (1) Firat and Dholakia‟s (1982) four dimensions of consumption patterns; (2) Rogers‟ (1963) theory of adoption; and (3) Sheth, Newman, and Gross‟ (1991) theory of consumption values. As there is great diversity in the source of Australian immigrants a purposeful sampling technique was employed to provide interpretable data. Immigrant families from the Italian regions of Abruzzi-Molise were selected as this group have a number of characteristics of value to this study. The characteristics include: a considerable gap exists between the consumption patterns of their natal and host communities; sufficient time has passed to allow the original immigrants and their families to reflect on their acculturative journey; and they still maintain strong links with their natal communities. Multiple qualitative techniques were employed during primary data collection. Primary data was collected in both Italy and Australia to gain a natal and host perspective. An iterative investigative approach was employed to compare primary and secondary work, to discover different perspectives, and to identify emergent themes. The major finding is that migration is a consumption activity that cannot be classified within the „textbook‟ convenience, shopping, or specialty product classification. Migration is not just the journey from one place to another; it is the journey from one set of consumption patterns to another. The costs and benefits of migration cannot be fully measured in financial terms and, for many, the evaluation process is an ongoing and cumulative process. Migration is a liminal process where the migrant must separate themself from their natal community and then establish themselves in a host community. Therefore, migration involves the establishment of an old-new hyphenated identity; hyphenated to indicate a life in two-parts. Migration involves the choices of what possessions to divest and what to keep, a passage, and then the acquiring of new possessions. However, unlike less involved consumption activities, all future consumption activities are a consequence of the migratory decision. Therefore in addition to the convenience, shopping, and specialty consumption activities the researcher calls for a new classification „seminal consumption activities‟. This study identifies that migration has three distinct time zones pre-migration, migration, and post-migration. Each of the time zones correlates with a respective stage of the buyer decision process pre-purchase, purchase and product delivery, and post purchase. Furthermore, a number of other three part marketing concepts demonstrate a relationship to this process: the three temporal types of involvement (situational, response, and enduring involvement); the three stages of liminality (pre-liminality, liminality, and post liminality; and the three decision qualities (search, experience, and credence decision qualities). The relationships are discussed in detail within the thesis. The seminal nature of migration and the acculturative reflections of the participants benefited one of the guiding theories. As a result, the Sheth et al (1991) theory of consumption values is advanced, new qualities of value3 are uncovered and a number of theoretical and practical gaps are discussed. An emergent conceptual framework that extends the Sheth et al. (1990) theory is discussed and presented. The thesis supports scholars who argue that there is a relationship between values1 and value2 for money. It also supports those who propose that whilst a person‟s values1 are enduring, estimations and assessments of value2 are more situational dependent. The enduring nature of values1 was displayed through the practise and preservation of natal consumption activities, and, the situation nature of value2 was displayed through the creation of a value2 hierarchy of consumption activities. Exploring this seminal consumption activity and the acculturation of Italian-Australians uncovered a number of insights that are important to marketers. However, they are particularly important to marketers operating in a multi-cultural marketplace. Marketers, like other members of a society, are often enculturated to the consumption activities of the dominant ethnic group; as such they can be blind to the dynamics and opportunities of a multi-cultural marketplace. This thesis highlights that the acculturation process is a two-way process where the attractive consumption activities of migrants are retained, and, then often adopted by members of the host society. Migration is generally accepted as a life-changing event, however, in multi-cultural societies, like Australia, migration is also society-changing event. Therefore, migration can be a seminal event at both an individual and a societal level; characteristics which are particularly rewarding to marketers.

Abstract:
Branding, especially in the food and beverage industry, can be an effective tool for building awareness and recognition of product differentiation among consumers. This especially concerns Prosecco, one of the most successful sparkling wine stories in the world, where branding can represent the solution for building a consistent image of quality, on which companies could maintain and nourish a sustainable competitive advantage throughout the years. The primary purpose of this research is to examine consumer perception in relation to Italian Prosecco and its brand. This is to be interpreted as a complex overlap of different elements: corporate brands, brand names, territorial brands and wine varietal. The assumption underlying this analysis refers to the fact that consumers are generally disorientated when it comes to recognizing what actually characterizes Prosecco as a brand - being a concept constituted by a multitude of producer and origin-related factors. Following this research, the most appropriate paths companies can explore in terms of strategies and branding techniques will be introduced.

Godinho, Manuel Fernando Cilia Mira. "Innovation diffusion in the Portuguese and Italian clothing industry." Thesis, University of Sussex, 1993. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.239480.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis a model to describe the diffusion of a cluster of inter-related innovations is put forward. Unlike conventional diffusion approaches, which deal with each innovation independently, this model is based on a system of "aggregated measures of diffusion" (AMDs). Such AMDs assume a common technological base and a learning sequence in adoption, and they are derived from a system of double weighting, with scores attached for a) the complexity of each innovation and b) the time-span since adoption. In addition to diffusion measurement, AMDs can be used to assess technological capability of individual firms, industries, regions or countries. In this role they can replace conventional technology measures, particularly when the object of analysis are "traditional industries" or "catching up regions". In the present application, the diffusion of nine innovations available for use in the clothing industry was tracked. Alternative weighting schemes generated different AMDs, successively taken as the dependent variable in a multiple regression exercise. The variables entered into the model matched broadly the conceptual framework, with proxies of technological competence ("qualified technicians" or "intangible investment") and firm size ("sales" or "employment") displaying greater association with the AMDs. Interestingly, the dummy "country" was not selected as significant. This is in line with previous findings in the thesis, which showed an average initial lag between Portuguese and Italian firms of 4 years, narrowing to 2.5 years as diffusion proceeds. These results suggest that the productivity gap (2.6: I) derives mostly from factors other than differences in the adoption of recent hardware. Future policies to narrow this gap could better consider how to improve the handling of existing hardware (training, skills) and other intangible factors (design, quality, marketing and distribution), than concentrating exclusively on fixed capital formation. If these intangible factors are addressed by public policy, it is possible to believe that the Portuguese clothing industry will have an opportunity to survive and prosper. With regard to Italy, there are signs that some of the traditional factors of competitiveness have suffered recently a process of erosion. With the expected phasing out of the MultiFibre Arrangement, Italian tirms must concentrate further in up-market niches and relocate part of their assembling operations to lower cost regions abroad. The possibility of radical technological change reversing dramatically this industry'S pattern of comparative advantage is not a realistic prospect in the short/medium-term. However. the likelihood of full automation in a longer-term remains, and it is possible to expect that those firms which have gone further in adopting certain LT.-related innovations will have a decisive advantage early next century.

Abstract:
This Master thesis has analyzed the perception of German consumer regarding “Made in Italy” products and lifestyle; in particular we wanted to understand how real and fake Italian products are perceived in Germany and what German consumer focuses on. This project origins from a personal six-months experience in Stuttgart, in the south of Germany. Starting from a general analysis of the main theories that have studied the consumer behaviour’s mechanisms: how the consumer is influenced by his/her representations and mental concepts, how things are categorized in his/her mind, what are the main misconceptions that consumers can be vulnerable to. Then we have made a digression concerning the presence of “Made in Italy” in Germany, providing also examples obtained on field during the experience in Stuttgart. We have considered only food products as pasta, oil, jam, cheese and then furniture and household items. We have, also, made an analysis regarding dates, we have obtained from a survey launched during the permanence in Baden-Württemberg: applying the principles of statistics we have studied the answers of a sample of German people between 20 and 50 years old. The aim is having a personal estimation of how the Germans behave themselves towards Italian products: are they able to distinguish real Italian from fake? What does influence their perceptions and consumer behaviour? After this analysis, we comment on the results and provide personal explanations about them.

Abstract:
Risposte diverse ad una stessa domanda ben precisa sono dovute principalmente a differenze culturali quali lingua, storia, etnia, religione. Questa affermazione è riscontrabile anche in ambito economico e, di conseguenza, è necessario che le reazioni di un possibile cliente vengano correttamente interpretate. Nell’elaborato verrà analizzato il processo di sviluppo di un nuovo prodotto, con particolare attenzione al BASES model, attualmente il più importante test di simulazione commerciale nell’industria della ricerca di mercato. Questo modello aiuta le aziende a prevedere la futura domanda del nuovo prodotto e ad analizzare il mercato, con la premessa che “il consumatore non sempre rispetta ciò che ha precedentemente affermato”. Infatti, le differenze culturali portano le persone a rispondere in maniera diversa ad una domanda ben precisa. Di conseguenza, è necessario comprendere le modalità di espressione italiane e cinesi così da poter correttamente interpretare le risposte dei consumatori. Lo scopo di questa tesi è quindi quello di evidenziare le differenze culturali che portano ad un divario nei test di mercato tra l’intenzione di acquisto e l’effettivo comportamento del consumatore. Verrà dunque proposta una risposta al quesito “perché se l’intenzione di acquisto di un cinese è inferiore a quella di un italiano, nei dati post vendita risulterà il contrario? Ovvero che il cinese avrà acquistato di più?”

Abstract:
Every large organisation has to deal with institutional and professional learning, especially if it is responsible for the education and training of its own personnel. This paper presents the e-learning model, designed and developed in order to satisfy all potential educational needs in a life long learning perspective and to innovate the institutional learning in a modern working and operational environment within the Italian Army. This model is based on a long experience in the e-learning field gained through the years by the IT-Army Education and Training Command and School of Applied Military Studies - Turin with its Virtual Learning Centre and the University of Turin who work together for the education of the officers. The e-learning model for the Army was developed in a multifunctional way and human centered because the idea is to consider the personnel in both aspects as provider and consumer of educational services. For these reasons a net of several interconnected portals was built up, each of them with a specific goal, mainly based on MOODLE, the Learning Management System largely used by several universities, integrated with several tools. A specific attention was dedicated to define user friendly solutions in order to ease surfing the net and to be used by a wide range of potential users, where all categories of personnel are involved, like Officers, NCOs, Volunteers and civilian staff. In the paper a multidimensional analysis of the model is discussed with particular attention to three different main dimensions: pedagogical, users' perspective and technical.

Abstract:
In the last twenty years, the exploitation of non-renewable resources and the effects of their applications on environment and human health were considered central topics in political and scientific debate on European and worldwide scale. This kind of resources have been used in different sectors, as energy systems, technological research, but also in private/public buildings and production of consumer goods, involving significantly domestic and ordinary life of every human being. Studies about the effect of this exploitation carried out discouraging results, in terms of climate changes and energy sustenance; this determined a progressive approach process to a new concept of development, able to couple the qualitative standard of modern life with the respect of planet and its inhabitants. Starting from this reflection, scientific community moved towards research on alternative resources and developed a new way to conceive planning process and technical innovations, in order to exploit renewable energies and recycled materials, promote energy savings and reduce environmental pollution. In this context the present paper aims at evaluating benefits relating to different solutions of thermal insulation in building envelope. In fact a high grade of insulation ensures better comfort conditions in inner spaces, reducing energy consumptions due to heating and cooling conditioning. The paper presents the results of a detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the reflective foil ISOLIVING, conceived and produced by an Italian company. The Life Cycle Assessment methodology allows to consider all stages of the life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to the product’s disposal, in an optics “from cradle to grave.” In particular, the study takes into account the production phase of the reflective foil ISOLIVING, the installation phase, the transport of all components to the production site and also the end of life scenario of the material. The possibility to collect many detailed information about the production phase adds value to the study. The analysis is carried out according to UNI EN ISO 14040 and UNI EN ISO 14044, which regulate the LCA procedure. The LCA modeling was performed using SimaPro software application. The results of the analysis allow to make an important comparison concerning the environmental performances, between the reflective foil ISOLIVING and other types of insulating materials.

Abstract:
La larga tradición del cultivo del tomate en Italia ha permitido la evolución de una amplia diversidad de variedades tradicionales o variedades autóctonas que han sido cultivadas durante siglos, muchas de las cuales siguen siendo comunes en los mercados locales. La adaptación a las peculiares condiciones climáticas y edáficas, el aislamiento geográfico de varias zonas de cultivo, las técnicas de cultivo específicas, la selección de los agricultores locales, también basada en las preferencias sensoriales de los consumidores, han dado como resultado grupos de variedades locales distribuidas no sólo por regiones, sino por áreas sub-regionales. En la mayoría de los casos, el cultivo de estas variedades autóctonas italianas cubre áreas muy limitadas y se están llevando a cabo en huertos familiares para consumo personal y / o en fincas pequeñas que, por lo tanto, desempeñan un papel clave en el mantenimiento de este valioso germoplasma, que en muchos casos está en peligro de extinción. La región de Campania ha sido, y sigue siendo, un área importante para la producción de tomate con una larga tradición en la selección, cultivo y procesamiento de este cultivo, resultando en un rico reservorio de variedades autóctonas de tomate valiosas. Hasta el momento, sólo tres variedades autóctonas de tomate italiano han obtenido el estatus de protección geográfica conforme a la legislación de la Unión Europea, la IGP “Pomodoro di Pachino” de Sicilia y las dos DOP “Pomodoro S. Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino” y “Pomodorino Del Piennolo del Vesuvio" de Campania. Esta breve revisión abordará algunas de las razas tradicionales más populares de la región de Campania, con especial atención a las dos DOP.

1. Descripción del caso Presentamos el caso de una chica cuyo primer contacto en nuestra USMIJ es a la edad de 15 años por clínica autorreferencial, inestabilidad emocional y consumo de tóxicos importante. A los 12 años comienza consumo de THC y aparecen alteraciones de conducta, irritabilidad, marcada impulsividad e inicio de absentismo escolar. Como AF SM su madre y su hermano episodios depresivos. Padres separados, el padre tiene nacionalidad italiana. A los 14 años comienza consumo de cocaína de forma diaria y OH. Se defiene como muy precoz en cuanto a inicio de relaciones interpersonales y de mano de esta precocidad aparece el consumo como ritual de grupalización con chicos mayores que ella. Historia previa de abusos sexuales y violación según refiere que no denuncia. Ha tenido alteraciones puntuales de tipo psicótico (vivencias paranoideas y pseudoalucinaciones auditivas) por lo que ingresa en centro privado. Tras esto realiza IMV. 2. Evolución Durante el estudio longitudinal del caso predomina el ánimo inestable, marcada irritabilidad, dificultad para el control de impulsos, conductas en escala de consumo de tóxicos y prácticas de riesgo y desinhibición sexual importante. Aparece también ideación autolítica parcialmente estructurada. La paciente se encuentra en situación de absentismos escolar total. Ha estado en tratamiento con: - Acido Valproico 200 mg c/ 8h. - Olanzapina 5 mg c/ 8h. - Escitalopram 10 mg por la mañana. - Diazepam 5 mg c/ 8h. Se marcha a Italia con su padre donde se añade Litio 400 1/4 c/ 8h y Lormetazepam 2mg por la noche. Acude de nuevo a USMIJ donde se nos plantea la dificultad de seguimiento ambulatorio de un caso de estas características. 3. Discusión En la adolescencia, el diagnóstico de TAB suele confundirse principalmente con TLP o TDAH. La presentación clínica es diferente que en el adulto predominando la irritabilidad.

Abstract:
De los alimentos que llegaron a Europa procedentes de América a comienzos de la Edad Moderna, sin duda, el cacao (Theobroma cacao) fue uno de los que mayor interés produjo entre lo europeos que, desde los primeros testimonios, mostraron una postura ambivalente entre la fascinación y el miedo hacia un producto al que se le adjudicaba todo tipo de propiedades. Uno de los sectores más escépticos con este alimento fue la Iglesia, al considerar que su consumo podía ir en contra de las normas del ayuno católico. Esta polémica fue objeto de numerosos textos e hizo necesaria la intervención del cardenal Brancaccio para zanjarla, quedando definitivamente abandonada en el siglo XVIII. A partir de los citados textos, el presente artículo plantea cómo esta polémica en torno al consumo del chocolate y su posterior abandono pudo tener su traslación al mundo del arte. Para ello, se analizarán las principales imágenes artísticas del chocolate producidas en Europa en los siglos XVII y XVIII, con especial atención a las producidas en España, Italia y Países Bajos, mostrando así las características y evolución en la presentación del producto y de todos los elementos que rodeaban su consumo (la vajilla, los consumidores, los ambientes…) con el objetivo de demostrar el desarrollo paralelo de la polémica religiosa y de su representación artística.

Abstract:
La pasta es uno de los platos más populares del mundo hecho con trigo duro como lo muestra su historia y regulación. Su consumo se generalizó en el siglo XV, pero fue en el siglo XVI cuando se hizo una comida frecuente entre la gente de pocos recursos debido a su versatilidad y economía. Esto ha quedado registrado en libros, pinturas y carteles publicitarios de distintas épocas. La pasta como alimento es tan emblemática que se le dedicó en 1993 la fundación de un museo con sede en Roma, Italia. Su historia revela fusión y eclecticismo que ha promovido una progresión interesante desde el punto de vista de la creación culinaria, pero tambien desde una perspectiva tecnológica y gastronómica, al incrementar la composición y oferta existente. Desde el siglo XV hasta la actualidad la pasta ha pasado de ser un sustento básico a un alimento más complejos y selecto, pero aun así y gracias a su excelente aceptación sensorial nunca ha perdido su carácter popular, ni su asequibilidad. Por eso, frente a tan noble y reconocido alimento no queda sino tratar de enriquecerlo y continuar su legado incorporando otros ingredientes como pescado o algas, para seguir promoviendo su enriquecedora transculturación.

Abstract:
Abstract A key approach to large renewable energy sources (RES) power management is based on implementing storage technologies, including batteries, power-to-hydrogen (P2H), pumped-hydro, and compressed air energy storage. Power-to-hydrogen presents specific advantages in terms of suitability for large-scale and long-term energy storage as well as capability to decarbonize a wide range of end-use sectors, e.g., including both power generation and mobility. This work applies a multi-nodal model for the hourly simulation of the energy system at a nation scale, integrating the power, transport, and natural gas sectors. Three main infrastructures are considered: (i) the power grid, characterized by instantaneous supply-demand balance and featuring a variety of storage options; (ii) the natural gas network, which can host a variable hydrogen content, supplying NG-H2 blends to the final consumers; (iii) the hydrogen production, storage, and re-electrification facilities. The aim of the work is to assess the role that can be played by gas turbine-based combined cycles in the future high-RES electric grid. Combined cycles (GTCCs) would exploit hydrogen generated by P2H implementation at large scale, transported through the natural gas infrastructure at increasingly admixed fractions, thus closing the power-to-power (P2P) conversion of excess renewables and becoming a strategic asset for future grid balancing applications. A long-term scenario of the Italian energy system is analyzed, involving a massive increase of intermittent RES power generation capacity and a significant introduction of low-emission vehicles based on electric drivetrains (pure-battery or fuel-cell). The analysis highlights the role of hydrogen as clean energy vector, not only for specific use in new applications like fuel cell vehicles and stationary fuel cells, but also for substitution of fossil fuels in conventional combustion devices. The study also explores the option of repowering the combined cycles at current sites and evaluates the effect of inter-zonal limits on power and hydrogen exchange. Moreover, results include the evaluation of the required hydrogen storage size, distributed at regional scale or in correspondence of the power plant sites. Results show that when extra hydrogen generated by P2H is fed to GTCCs, up to 17–24% H2 use is achieved, reaching up to 70–100% in southern regions, with a parallel reduction in fossil NG input and CO2 emissions of the GTCC plants.
