“…During the late-Francoist period , an attempt was made to transfer the picturesqueness and authenticity of the heritage cities to a still unexploited Costa del Sol, gradually constructing a new metonymy of Spain. At a time when the Spanish imaginary and patriotic identity were faltering, both monuments stood as a resistance of the traditional image, being used to recreate an exotic past and a certain national identity [70][71][72][73][74][75], and were prepared to receive the increasing number of tourists who would derive the tourist boom of the 1960s towards the inland cities of Andalusia.…”

“…In both contexts, cinema has been used as an influential propaganda tool for Spanish imaginary. In the case of the Alhambra, enhancing the "exotic note" of national "difference" [69], as well as the tradition associated with Andalusian historical heritage and a certain national identity [70][71][72][73][74][75]. Concerning the Royal Alcazar, by positioning and consolidating the site as an emerging and essential tourist attraction [76].…”

This article analyses the production of audiovisual fiction as an instrument for disseminating the image of the Alhambra (Granada) and the Royal Alcazar (Seville) for tourism purposes. The methodology used was twofold: qualitative, carrying out an exhaustive bibliographic review, but also quantitative, using primary sources, through the identification of the films shot, visualization and collection of metadata of the scenes filmed. The information, previously structured, also allows a double analysis: temporal, considering five stages, and spatial, identifying and mapping more than twenty significant places within both sites. In its temporal dimension, the main conclusion refers to the different significance of cinema in the dissemination of the image of both sites: very prominent during Franco’s regime, with a profusion of foreign productions (Alhambra), while from the democratic period onwards it is the Royal Alcazar which offers a greater number of filming. In its spatial dimension, it has been verified that the 19th century formats in charge of disseminating images established a canon of places according to a certain degree of exoticism, which has been perpetuated by cinematography without significant changes.

“…23 For these reasons, they are suspected to have "been designed for a foreign tourist gaze and therefore to commodify the country's appeal as a kind of 'Brand Italy' for the Anglophone market," also in relation to their distribution by Miramax in the United States. 24 In recent times, Galt and Karl Schoonover have conveniently labelled the Ivory screen-written transnational production Call me by your name (Luca Guadagnino, 2018) a heritage film: it is set in the 1980s, generously displaying Italian natural and cultural heritage. 25 Slightly more surprisingly, The Great Beauty as well has been discussed in terms of heritage film.…”

“…A crop cultivar is defined as a well developed crop coming from old population that has been tailored to the regional climate and adapted to farmer agronomic practices ( Palumbo et al, 2017 ). According to recent evidence shows that over 28,000 unique seed collections of maize genetic diversity have been identified ( O’Leary, 2016 ), while Sri Lanka has roughly 697 maize germplasm, of which 35 are local maize accessions ( Plant Genetic Resources for Food & Agriculture, 2008 ). Preliminary studies reported such Sri Lankan maize accessions exhibit diverse nature in terms of morphology, canopy architecture and biomass ( Mufeeth et al, 2020 ).…”

Maize germplasm has greater latent potential to address the global food and feed crisis because of its high radiation, water and nutrient efficiencies. Photosynthetic and canopy architectural traits in maize are important in determining yield. The present study aimed to screen a subset of local maize accessions in Sri Lanka to evaluate their photosynthetic, biomass and yield related traits and to identify resource efficient germplasm. Experiments were carried out in the Ampara district of Sri Lanka. Eight maize accessions viz; SEU2, SEU6, SEU9, SEU10, SEU14, SEU15, SEU17 and SEU17 and two elite F1 cultivars (cv. Pacific-999 and cv. Bhadra) were analyzed under field conditions. Our results showed that maize genotypes produced a lower leaf area index (LAI) at the third and tenth week after field planting (WAP). However, the LAI was significantly increased in six WAP by Pacific-999, SEU2, SEU9, and SEU15. A similar trend was observed for percentage of light interception at three WAP (47%), six WAP (>64%), and decreased at 10 WAP. In addition, LAI maximum values were between 3.0 and 3.5, allowing 80% of the incident light to be intercepted by maize canopies. The estimated light extinction coefficient (k) remained lower (<0.5), suggesting that maize leaves are eractophilic canopies. Although fractional interception (f) varies, SEU2 and SEU9 had the highest values (0.57), and quantum yields of PSII (>0.73) in dark-adapted leaves. In addition, Pacific-999, SEU2, SEU9, and SEU17 had significantly higher rates of photosynthesis with minimal stomatal conductance and transpiration rates. As a result, they outperformed the control plants in terms of biomass, cob weight and grain yield. This suggests that native maize germplasm could be introduced as novel, less resource-intensive cultivars to sustain global food security.
