Le bucher de Saint Antoine. Rites du feu en Sicile
2008
In Sicilia roghi, falò e fiaccolate si incontrano in numerose celebrazioni che si susseguono lungo il corso dell’anno (Buttitta I. E. 1999a). Questi sono diffusamente accesi la vigilia delle feste dell’Immacolata (8 dicembre), di Santa Lucia (13 dicembre), di Natale (25 dicembre), di Sant’Antonio Abate (17 gennaio), di San Giuseppe (19 marzo). Fuochi rituali ricorrono anche in occasione del Martedì grasso di Carnevale, della Pasqua (Venerdì santo e Sabato santo), dell’Ascensione, della vigilia dell’Assunzione (15 agosto), di San Giovanni Battista (24 giugno) e di alcune feste di carattere locale. I vampi, i vamparotti, i pagghiara, i burgi, i fochi, a ddera (queste solo alcune delle denomin…
FRUIT INHIBITS FLOWERING IN ALTERNATE BEARING CITRUS VARIETIES. HORMONAL, GENETIC AND EPIGENETIC REGULATION
In mature citrus trees, flowering is regulated by exogenous signals (i.e., low/high temperature, water shortage/water supply) that control flowering time, and by endogenous signals that control flower intensity. Actually, the ratio of endogenous promoters to inhibitors is considered as responsible for flowering; however, there is evidence suggesting that the inhibitors and their metabolism are the sole factors controlling flowering in Citrus. All the meristems have the information and ability to flower unless a negative factor hampers the process. The main endogenous factor controlling flower intensity is the fruit. Attending to the aforementioned, in this PhD. thesis, the following hypothe…
Eficiencia en la gestión del abastecimiento urbano de agua: desarrollo de un sistema de apoyo a la toma de decisiones
2022
El agua es un recurso natural limitado, con un papel muy importante a nivel social e histórico ligado al desarrollo humano. Por esta razón, en 2010, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas reconoció el derecho al agua y al saneamiento como un derecho humano. Dentro de este marco, esta tesis pretende realizar una aportación en el campo de los DSS aplicados a la gestión de abastecimientos con el objetivo de plantear nuevas metodologías que ayuden a un servicio más sostenible y mejor aceptado por el ciudadano. El primer artículo de la tesis, para introducir las problemáticas actuales sobre la gestión de los abastecimientos, presenta la historia del abastecimiento de agua en la ciudad de Val…
Transitions in European land-management regimes between 1800 and 2010
2015
Land use is a cornerstone of human civilization, but also intrinsically linked to many global sustainability challenges—from climate change to food security to the ongoing biodiversity crisis. Understanding the underlying technological, institutional and economic drivers of land-use change, and how they play out in different environmental, socio-economic and cultural contexts, is therefore important for identifying effective policies to successfully address these challenges. In this regard, much can be learned from studying long-term land-use change. We examined the evolution of European land management over the past 200 years with the aim of identifying (1) key episodes of changes in land …

Child-centred curriculum leadership for the subject of English in Ethiopian primary schools
2017
According to Serbessa (2006) there is a tension between Western pedagogy, in particular child-centred learning, and traditional Ethiopian approaches to teaching. In this study, this tension is examined through the teaching methods used and the resources teachers have at their disposal. The teachers are herein viewed as curriculum leaders, contrasting with the preconception that managers are leaders of a curriculum (Hannay & Seller, 1991). By adopting the educator’s perspective, leadership will be explored from the position of how teachers apply the English syllabus under a curriculum demanding child-centred learning, when teaching English in a state and private international school. Compari…
Compromiso Estudiantil en el Contexto Universitario Colombiano y Desempeño Académico
2014
20 páginas A pesar de la ampliación de la cobertura en la educación superior latinoamericana, persisten graves problemas de deserción que llevan a cuestionar el papel de las experiencias educativas en el fomento del compromiso académico de los estudiantes. Esta investigación se realizó en Colombia y buscó determinar la relación que existe entre el compromiso estudiantil y el desempeño académico de un grupo de universitarios colombianos. El estudio transversal y correlacional empleó la versión en español de la encuesta National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) que mide el nivel de participación de los estudiantes en cinco dimensiones: reto académico, aprendizaje activo y colaborativo, int…

. Strategie e iniziative per il recupero e la valorizzazione: un bilancio sui centri storici siciliani
2020
The present contribution focuses on the strategies carried out to hinder depopulation and facilitate the recovery of the historical city centres in Sicily in the last fifty years. In particular, the essay analyses if the strategies and initiatives fostered in this field had been respectful of the physical characteristics of these small towns. Furthermore, the present study intends to assess if the improvement of the “quality of life” has been considered among the strategies carried out to contrast depopulation. The scarce efficacy of policies and strategies over the last fifty years, which emerges from this analysis, is partially due to the endemic inability of politicians and local communi…
Meaningful life and survival in urban poverty : an ethnographic study on the dimensions of deprivation and anxiety and the coping strategies of a gro…
2014
Tähän etnografiseen tutkimukseen on haastateltu seitsemää pitopalveluosuuskunnan jäsentä Addis Abebassa, Etiopiassa. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan haastateltavien pääasiallisia puutteen ja huolen aiheita, ja heidän henkilökohtaisia selviytymisstrategioitaan urbaanissa köyhyydessä. Kuinka ihmiset määrittelevät ja kokevat erilaiset päivittäiset puutteen ja huolen aiheensa? Mitä voimavaroja haastateltavat voivat käyttää selviytyäkseen urbaanissa köyhyydessä? Olen kytkenyt haastateltavien narratiivit Etiopiassa ja Addis Abebassa parhaillaan käynnissä olevaan yhteiskunnalliseen muutokseen hyödyntäen sekä haastatteluaineistoa että kirjallisuutta liittyen muun muassa urbaanin köyhyyden diskurssin ke…
