Odyseja brzeskich Kresowian. Próba rejestracji i opisania zjawiska
2020
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie sylwetek współczesnych mieszkańców Ziemi Brzeskiej, którzy mają korzenie kresowe. Artykuł powstał w oparciu o p onad 35-letnie zbieranie dokumentów i relacji od dużej liczby polskich ekspatriantów z ziem wschodnich dawnej Rzeczypospolitej, które Polska utraciła w wyniku decyzji międzynarodowych konferencji w Jałcie i Poczdamie w 1945 r. Autor pokazuje proces wielkiego przesiedlenia ludności polskiej oraz niemieckiej na tle wielkiej wędrówki ludów, jaka miała miejsce w Europie po II wojnie światowej i objęła około 20 milionów osób. Artykuł jest oparty na szerokiej literaturze przedmiotu, licznych artykułach biograficznych z powojennej prasy śląskiej oraz re…
Rimettere in valore gli spazi pubblici del territorio agrigentino
2015
The contemporary city poses a question about regeneration which increasingly finds its answer within the open spaces, where values and potential are recognized not only in ecological and environmental terms but also in terms of agricultural production. However these areas may have consequences on global sustainability and local urban-welfare, provoking identification processes with the places and regenerating the local identities as the only guarantee of survival in a harmonic territory. The research hypothesis is that the coastal areas and peri-urban spaces could contribute substantially to society and sustainable urban development as well as having an impact on social, physical, environme…
The Peripheri-City of the Inner Areas: Local Development in the Sicani Territory
2018
The inner peripheries are now subject to territorial and social metamorphosis in the sense that they are returning to be attractive places for younger generations through the rediscovery of the potential that they offer in terms of esources and propensity to change. Characterised by an ev-ergrowing number of bottom-up innovation experiences of both traditional crafts and agricultural production, and with abandoned sites in social and cultural places having been recovered, thus allowing the rediscovery the sense of sharing and conviviality typical of these places in the past to be rediscovered, these sites presently need to be discussed, described, and thought of in a new way. The experience…
Surfactant-Mediated Morphology and Photocatalytic Activity of α‑Ag2WO4 Material
2018
In the present work, the morphology (hexagonal rod-like vs cuboid-like) of an α-Ag2WO4 solid-state material is manipulated by a simple controlled-precipitation method, with and without the presence of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), respectively, over short reaction times. Characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction analysis, Rietveld refinement analysis, Fourier-transform (FT) infrared spectroscopy, FT Raman spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, selected area electron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and photoluminescence emission…
De participació local. Una proposta metodològica desde la investigació-acció-participativa
2018
Citizen participation is an increasingly prevalent term in our society. In the process of deployment in the municipal area, progressively local corporations make efforts to innovate practices and develop experiences of citizen participation in defining policies and public affairs, and allocating budgets. While innovation has been advanced with regard to the tools and mechanisms to be used to promote participation, many of the initiatives and experiences have focused more on the implementation of the vote than in the different social processes inherent in the participation. Moreover, we are faced with the absence of a methodological guide that allows approaching a project or strategic plan o…

Preparation of tungstophosphoric acid/cerium-doped NH2-UiO-66 Z-scheme photocatalyst: a new candidate for green photo-oxidation of dibenzothiophene a…
2021
International audience; The goal of this study was to introduce an effective visible-light induced photocatalytic system with a good ability for photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (PODS) and denitrogenation (PODN) using molecular oxygen (O2) as an oxidant. In this regard, tungestophosphoric acid (PW12) was supported onto cerium-doped NH2-UiO-66 (PW12/Ce-NUiO-66) and employed for the photo-oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and quinoline (Qu). Herein, using cerium (Ce) as a “mediator” facilitated the separation of charge carriers, while NH2-UiO-66 remarkably enhanced the surface area with plentiful adsorption sites and shifted the adsorption edge of PW12to the visible region. The sum …
Comparison of the Properties of Activated Carbons Produced in One-Stage and Two-Stage Processes
2018
Activated carbons (ACs) can be produced from biomass in a thermal process either in a direct carbonization-activation process or by first carbonizing the biomass and later activating the bio-chars into activated carbons. The properties of the ACs are dependent on the type of process used for production. In this study, the properties of activated carbons produced in one-stage and two-stage processes are considered. Activated carbons were produced by physical activation of two types of starting materials: bio chars produced from spruce and birch chips in a commercial carbonization plant and from the corresponding raw chips. The activated carbons produced were characterized regarding specific …
From the Metropolitan Areas to the Post-metropolitan Dimension
2021
This chapter introduces a description of the two main areas that will be discussed throughout the book: the metropolitan region of Palermo and South-Eastern Sicily. The chapter starts with a socio-economic analysis describing the characteristics of demography, employment and income in these two parts of Sicily, by comparing them to the situation of other areas in Italy. A spatial analysis of housing and land use complements the socio-economic outlook. Each section describes the most consolidated trends in these areas, but also discusses the most innovative changes and the challenges Sicily has been facing over the years.
