Città-porto a prova di futuro. Linee guida per l’integrazione di soluzioni basate sulla natura per l’adattamento climatico e la tutela della biodiver…

2023

Quale è il ruolo della pianificazione nel rispondere alle sfide della crisi climatica e della perdita di biodiversità nei contesti urbano-portuali? Il lavoro di ricerca costituisce un avanzamento del dibattito sulla riqualificazione delle aree portuali, contesti storicamente avulsi dalla considerazione di tematiche legate alla preservazione e valorizzazione degli habitat naturali e degli ecosistemi. La tesi desidera mettere al centro della discussione le città porto mediterranee come ecosistemi e come insediamenti urbani multi-specie, come attrici del cambiamento responsabile di fronte alle crisi e non soltanto nodi infrastrutturali strategici per l’economia, la finanza e gli usi militari. …

La résilience de l’érosion du sol en réponse à l’évolution des occupations culturales du sol en contexte viticole (Monthelie, Côte de Beaune)

2011

National audience; Les événements naturels extrêmes sont à l’origine de l’essentiel du transfert de matière observé sur les versants. Outre des enjeux sociétaux et économiques, ces événements peuvent également avoir des répercussions environnementales et culturales irréversibles en modifiant les répartitions spatiales des surfaces cultivables, en affectant aussi bien quantitativement que qualitativement les sols de ces versants. Il apparaît donc essentiel de comprendre, quantifier et prévoir les transferts de matière sur les versants en réponse à des événements naturels extrêmes.Parmi les différents contextes agricoles, les versants viticoles sont reconnus comme des versants particulièremen…

Is Democracy Exportable?

2017

Among many aspects to the question of whether democracy is exportable, this contribution focuses on the role of the people, understood not as a unitary actor but as a heterogeneous set: the citizens. The people matter, in a different way, both in the countries to which democracy might be exported and in the democratic countries in which the question is about promoting democracy elsewhere. The mechanisms or characteristics involved in the discussion include yardstick competition, differences among citizens in the intensity of their preferences, differences among autocracies regarding intrusion into private life, citizens’ assessments of future regime change, and responsiveness of elected inc…

Priming effect increases with depth in a boreal forest soil

2016

Abstract Climate warming increases labile carbon (C) inputs to soil through increased photosynthesis and C allocation belowground. This could counterintuitively lead to losses of soil C via priming effects (PE): the stimulation of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition caused by labile C addition. Systematic quantification of PEs in different ecosystems is needed. We measured PEs of free-living soil microbes in different layers of a boreal forest soil, and found that the relative magnitude of the PE increased with soil depth. The relationship between relative PE and the added glucose amount also depended on the soil layer. Our results indicate that the decomposition of SOM in deeper soil l…

Principals’ views on changes in the provision of support for learning and schooling in Finland after educational reform

2019

Recently, the large-scale reforms of special education have been carried out in many countries. This study focuses on the latest Finnish reform of special education in compulsory education. As principals lead educational reforms in schools, their role in the implementation of reform is significant. The study explores principals’ views on the changes in support arrangements after the educational reform. We used latent class analysis to identify the subgroups of principals who share similar views. In addition, we examined the relationship between the subgroups and individual, school, and municipal level factors using multinomial logistic regression analysis. Four subgroups were identified: im…

Cambiamenti nell'uso dei soggetti clitici veneti: il ruolo del contatto con l'italiano

2018

This chapter discusses the results of a series of data on the syntax of subject clitic pronouns in Venetan dialects. The data were gathered through a crowdsourcing tool (google modules), and more than 700 participants took part in the inquiry. The data collection asked for grammaticality judgements on a series of contexts. The main research question was whether the syntax of subject clitics is changing in the language of the younger generation: this question is particularly important because the distribution of the Venetan varieties througout the Veneto region is changing, due to the increasing influence and presence of Italian, which is the L1 of most of the younger speakers. The results s…

Investigating protein structure and dynamics through wide-angle X-ray solution scattering

2016

Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) is a powerful tool that can be used to gain information on the structure and dynamics of proteins and other biomolecules in solution. Improved methods for the calculation of WAXS patterns from available or putative protein models allow to better exploit the structural information contained in the experimental data. These methods, together with recent applications of static and time-resolved WAXS, are briefly reviewed.

Manufacturing export performance and public capital: an analysis by country technology position

2021

The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between public capital and manufacturing export performance. It also aims at investigating whether this relationship depends on the proximity of a country's technology frontier. To achieve this, we adopted a methodology that estimates the elasticities of public capital as a non-rival factor in a model that considers factor intensity as a mechanism of industrial development. We use an interaction model with panel data from 1999 to 2014 across 35 advanced and less advanced countries. Our results show that in countries far from the technology frontier, public capital accumulation is an element of industrial development as opposed to co…
