Article Synopsis
  • SETBP1 mutations are associated with various clonal myeloid disorders, but their role in initiating leukemia is uncertain, as they usually occur later in the progression of the disease.
  • Researchers created a mouse model with SETBP1 mutations in blood-forming tissue, which resulted in significant changes in cell differentiation and the development of a serious myeloid neoplasm.
  • In a study of triple-negative primary myelofibrosis patients, two groups were identified—those with SETBP1 mutations, who experienced more aggressive disease, and those without mutations, suggesting that SETBP1 mutations may act earlier in some clonal disorders than previously thought.

This paper proposes a novel four-step methodology to achieve an extended-reality-based choice experiment in historic and touristic centers. The study exploits the case of Manfredonia (a seaside town in southern Italy) to apply the new approach and investigates public attitudes and preferences towards the installation of offshore wind turbines in the area. The novelty of the proposed work is twofold: i) for the first time, a structured methodological approach is defined for the development of a hybrid extended-reality-based choice experiment; ii) the perception of the visual impact of offshore wind turbines is assessed in a touristic and historic city in southern Italy exploiting the proposed approach.
