Influence of sustainability practices and green image on the re-visit intention of small and medium-size towns

This study set a model to predict the e ect of corporate social responsibility and green image on visit intention in small and medium-size towns (SMST). At present, there is a keen social awareness towards environmental problems, and cities are required to reduce their ecological footprint and make more sustainable use of natural resources. Increasingly, tourists are considering “green options” in their decision making. The questionnaire responses, obtained from a sample of 221 tourism in Malaga town (Spain) were analyzed using a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to test the research hypothesis related to the positive influence of sustainability practices, green image, trust with the intention of revisiting related to the loyalty of the destination. This study shows that there is a positive relationship between sustainability practices and re-visit intention and between the green image and re-visit intention, both directly and indirectly, through trust. Also, the fact that this relationship is more significant if it is part of the green image than if it is part of sustainability actions. To practice, this study provides managerial implications to help executives adopt green actions, thanks to their positive e ects on tourist loyalty and the di erent way of manifesting this loyalty.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Retos penitenciarios al final del s. XX

Acto de Apertura .[ES] La cárcel es la gran olvidada de la sociedad de bienestar, la prisión no sólo no rehabilita sino que aniquila a la persona. En consecuencia, son muchos los retos que se plantean en el ámbito penitenciario, como conseguir un Código penal igualitario que comience defendiendo los derechos de los más débiles o superar los problemas que se presentan en el seguimiento judicial de la sentencia. Así, podrían desarrollarse algunas alternativas a la prisión: el cumplimiento en centros terapéuticos, la mediación, la asistencia a la comunidad como “restitución”, el cumplimiento alternativo y la libertad “a prueba”.[EU] Ongizarteko gizartean dagoen gauzarik ahaztuena gartzela da, gartzelak ez lehengoratzeaz gain pertsona deusezten du. Horren ondorioz, baitegi inguruan helburu asko planteatzen dira, adibidez ahulenen eskubideak defendatzen dituen Kode penal berri bat nola lortu, edo epaiaren jarraipen judiziala egiterakoan sortzen diren arazoei aurre nola egin. Hau hala izanik, gartzelari beste irtenbide batzuk garatu beharrean aurkitzen gara: zigorrak osa-bide zentruetan betetzea, bitartekotasuna, itzulera moduan komunitateari laguntzea, beste alternatibak eta probapeko askatasuna.[FR] La prison est la grande oubliée de la société du bien-être, elle ne sert pas à réhabiliter mais plutôt à annihiler la personne. Par conséquence, on trouve plusieurs défis posés à l’environnement pénitentiaire, tels que celui d’obtenir un code pénal égalitaire qui puisse défendre les droits du plus faible ou surmonter les problèmes présentés dans la poursuite judiciaire de la sentence. Certaines alternatives pourraient être developpées à l’intérieur de la prison: l’execution dans les centres thérapeutiques, la médiation, l’assistance à la communauté comme “restitution”, l’exécution alternative et la liberté sous condition.[EN] The jail is the great one forgotten of the wellfare’s society. The prison doesn’t rehabilitate, and on top wipes out people. In consequence, there are many raised challenges in the penitentiary environment, for exemple how to obtain an equalitarian penal Code, that defends the rihgts of the weakest, or how to overcome the problems that are presents at the judicial pursuit of the sentence. This way, some alternatives to prison could be developed: the execution in terapeutic centers, the mediation, the attendance to the community like “restitution”, the alternative execution and the proving freedom

Technology, governance, and a sustainability model for small and medium-sized towns in Europe

New and cutting-edge technologies causing deep changes in societies, playing the role of game modifiers, and having a significant impact on global markets in small and medium-sized towns in Europe (SMSTEs) are the focus of this research. In this context, an analysis was carried out to identify the main dimensions of a model for promoting innovation in SMSTEs. The literature review on the main dimensions boosting the innovation in SMSTEs and the methodological approach was the application of a survey directed to experts on this issue. The findings from the literature review reflect that technologies, governance, and sustainability dimensions are enablers of SMSTEs’ innovation, and based on the results of the survey, a model was implemented to boost innovation, being this the major add-on of this research.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Role of Middleware in Distributed Energy Systems Integrated in the Smart Grid

Middleware architectures have proven to be of major importance when dealing with distributed systems, as they are able to abstract the inevitable heterogeneity of the hardware devices present in a deployment with the aim of offering a collection of interfaces and resources of homogeneous appearance to the upper, application‐oriented layers. In an energy‐based distributed system as the Smart Grid, this role is replicated, as the hardware devices that are found, while essentially related to the power grid and the functionalities that can be extracted from it (advanced metering infrastructure, remote terminal units, renewable energy resources, etc.), still present the same challenges that other distributed systems are expected to deal with, such as heterogeneous features, different information formats, diversity of their performance procedures, or integration and interconnectivity issues. Therefore, a middleware architecture is still of major usability in the power grid. This chapter offers information about the common features that are present in a middleware architecture that works under the requirements and use cases typical of the Smart Grid, as well as offers examples on how middleware integrates legacy, proprietary, and newly developed pieces of equipment within the same distributed energy grid
