Philosophy and science: the axes of evil in disability studies?

2007

In this review, I concentrate on analysing the response Tom Shakespeare’s Disability rights and wrongs has awoken in the disability studies community.

Annata straordinaria per l’orzo al Nord Italia

2016

La Rete delle prove nazionali di orzo da zootecnia per l’annata 2015-2016 evidenzia ottimi risultati produttivi soprattutto al Nord Italia. In questo articolo riportiamo la valutazione di 39 varietà ripartite in tre diversi gruppi varietali a seconda dell’areale interessato dalla sperimentazione (Nord, Centro, Sud e Isole)

Le varietà di grano duro più vocate al biologico

2016

Nella stagione 2015-2016 sono stati realizzati 12 campi, localizzati in 9 regioni e aggregati in tre macroareali: Sud-Isole (5 campi), versante Tirrenico dell’Italia Centrale (3 campi), versante Adriatico dell’Italia Centrale e Nord (4 campi). In tutti i campi sono state messe a confronto 22 varietà, di cui 1 (Orizzonte) al primo anno di prova, utilizzando uno schema sperimentale a blocchi randomizzati con 3 o 4 ripetizioni. Tutte le cultivar sono state fornite non conciate dalle ditte sementiere (la scheda agronomica delle prove e i principali rilievi eseguiti sono onsultabili all’indirizzo internet riportato in fondo all’articolo).

Quali varietà di triticale seminare nel 2016-2017

2016

Significativi attacchi di ruggine gialla associati a scarse precipitazioni sulle Isole e a diffusi fenomeni di allettamento al Centro e al Nord hanno influito negativamente su tutte le medie produttive. Le rese sono pertanto state inferiori rispetto al 2015, con 6,5 t/ha al Nord, 4,6 al Centro e 3,5 al Sud e Isole

Grano duro 2019: Italia divisa in due per rese e qualità. Dettaglio regionale dei risultati 2019: Sicilia.

2019

Nell’annata agraria 2018-2019 la Rete nazionale di valutazione delle varietà di frumento duro, coordinata dal CREA, ha previsto l’allestimento in Sicilia di quattro campi sperimentali, realizzati nei seguenti ambienti: Libertinia (Catania), Catania, S. Stefano Quisquina (Agrigento) e Caltagirone (Catania). Irisultati di quest’annata agraria hanno mostrato risposte produttive interessanti di diverse nuove varietà che, al primo anno di valutazione nella Rete nazionale, si affacciano sul mercato sementiero del frumento duro. Tali risultati andranno verificati nelle successive stagioni colturali.

Pain experience and social support of endometriosis patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany – results of a web-based cross-sectional survey

2021

Background Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition in premenopausal women. Pain is mainly characterized by pain intensity and may induce disability in all areas of daily life.
