Potential for microbial diuron mineralisation in a small wine-growing watershed: from treated plots to lotic receiver hydrosystem

2009

BACKGROUND: Since biological degradation processes are known to be a major driver of the natural attenuation of pesticide residues in the environment, microbial communities adapted to pesticide biodegradation are likely to play a key environmental role in reducing pesticide exposure in contaminated ecosystems. The aim of this study was to assess the diuron-mineralising potential of microbial communities at a small-scale watershed level, including a diuron-treated vineyard (pollution source), its associated grass buffer strip (as a river protection area against pesticide runoff) and the lotic receiver hydrosystem (sediments and epilithon), by using radiorespirometry. RESULTS: Comparison of r…

Potametum alpini Podbielkowski 1967 w starorzeczach południowo-zachodniej Polski

2018

The paper presents the distribution and habitat conditions of Potametum alpini communities (class Potametea) in oxbow lakes of south-western Poland. A study done in 2000–2015 identified 11 localities of this community in oxbow lakes. The threats to Potametum alpini in south-western Poland include changes in the levels and physicochemistry of the water.

Zespół rdestnicy wydłużonej Potametum praelongi Sauer 1937 w rezerwacie Smolnik na Śląsku Opolskim

2018

Na terenie rezerwatu przyrody Smolnik na Śląsku Opolskim fitocenozy zespołu rdestnicy wydłużonej Potametum praelongi zostały stwierdzone podczas badań geobotanicznych w 2015 r. – współrzędne geograficzne 50°83'97,62'' N, 18°24'59,79'' E. Dotychczas zespół ten nie był notowany na obszarze tego rezerwatu. W Polsce należy do bardzo rzadko notowanych zbiorowisk. W rezerwacie Smolnik płaty tego zespołu wykształciły się w wodzie o głębokości 150 – 200 cm, o pH 7,4. W większości z nich ma budowę dwuwarstwową, rzadziej jednowarstwową. Zespół ten zajmuje powierzchnie, sięgające maksymalnie 200 – 300 m2. Notowano w nich od 5 do 7, średnio 6 gatunków. Łącznie w jego fitocenozach zanotowano 8 gatunków …

Les foyers de protection judiciaire de la jeunesse et la prise en charge des jeunes auteurs de délit : représentations sociales et réflexions autour …

2018

The educators’ work in juvenile justice residential communities and their capacity of affective attunement to the adolescent's needs is essential for the creation of a protective and enriching context for the adolescent and his life trajectories. This article aims to explore the social representations of educators and young people in residential communities in Italy, through the analysis of their discourses gathered during focus groups. Our results reveal the need to compare these representations and work to narrow the gap between the caregivers and the users, in order to improve the relationship between the different protagonists of the interaction and, consequently, the possibilities of g…

Quantum synchronisation and clustering in chiral networks

2022

We study the emergence of synchronisation in a chiral network of harmonic oscillators. The network consists of a set of locally incoherently pumped harmonic oscillators coupled pairwise in cascade with travelling field modes. Such cascaded coupling leads to feedback-less dissipative interaction between the harmonic oscillators of the pair which can be described in terms of an effective pairwise hamiltonian a collective pairwise decay. The network is described mathematically in terms of a directed graph. By analysing geometries of increasing complexity we show how the onset of synchronisation depends strongly on the network topology, with the emergence of synchronised communities in the case…

New, Rare and Constant Habitats for Endangered Aquatic Plant Communities: The Importance of Microhabitats for Global biodiversity

2019

Natural water reservoirs are very valuable floristic sites, with springs particularly important for the preservation of floral biodiversity. This paper presents, as a case study, a community of water plants that is new to limnocrene karst springs in Europe: Potametum alpini (Potametea), found in Poland. The paper provides the floristic composition and ecological requirements of this plant association, which is rare and endangered in Europe. According to our knowledge, the habitat data presented here are unique as they are published for the first time for this plant community, and thus it is currently not possible to compare them with data from other authors. Our study confirms the importanc…

La presa in carico residenziale: percorsi di ricerca nelle comunità per minori.

2012

Le comunità residenziali possono essere concepite come “campi esperienziali”, luoghi di esperienza condivisa all’interno dei quali, nel qui e ora della quotidianità e nell’intreccio di storie, esperienze, culture, visioni del mondo, orientamenti e bisogni diversi, gli “abitanti” della comunità, minori e operatori, intrecciano reti relazionali complesse. L’esplorazione di tali campi esperienziali e del loro funzionamento, la definizione di setting di lavoro clinico e formativo nei quali avviare percorsi trasformativi, è l’interesse che ha mosso il progetto di ricerca e intervento che qui presentiamo. Nella prospettiva della valutazione del lavoro clinico e della qualità dei servizi offerti a…

Religione nei ‘borderscapes’. Diritti umani e dis-integrazione religiosa delle comunità rom in Italia

2017

This paper proposes an anthropological reflection on the connection between social inequality and Roma/ Gypsies’ religious experience in Italy, focusing on religious practices between Orthodox Christians and Muslims Roma groups living in marginal conditions. The essay, finally, refers to the way in which the Italian state does not consider the religious practices of the Roma and the issue of human rights, stressing that the religious dimension is totally ignored at government level because of harmful categorization and discriminatory attitude.

Towards Ecoism on the Road of Societal Resilience

2013

How citizens are able to understand eco-responsible conducts and a necessary community-based action in an individual world? With the "Transition Towns MOVIDA" project, we wish to identify levers related to a most collective and sustainable consumption. How our civilization can survive to a collective sclerosis accompanied with doomsayer's messages, increasing complexity and unstable governance? The present proposal consider major terms definition and practices, which can support the bounce to socio-ecological transition. When adaptive principles and practices runs for self-sufficiency and contributes to opportunity, availability or competition in a fragmented warming world, which behavioral…
