The end of the Euro-Atlantic pluralistic security community? the new agenda of transatlantic security relations in the global political system
2009
The chapter analyses security relations between the US and the EU, as reflected in the new agenda of transatlantic security relations and in its outcomes. Differences in international actorness, in the strategic culture and in threat perception between the two international actors are analyzed. It is noted that, the emerging of security challenges not strictly of a military type, most often transnational in nature, creates an incentive for the two actors to cooperate. An empirical analysis of the answers given by the US-EU to international security crises in the period 1990-2000 is conducted to show that a US-EU cooperation nucleus, built on the long practice of the Atlantic cooperation, is…

Evaluación y caracterización biomecánica de los trinquetes de pelota valenciana. (Biomechanical assessment and characterization of the Valencian ball…
2012
El trinquete es la instalacion de referencia en la practica de la pelota valenciana, donde se juegan las modalidades profesionales de escala i corda y raspall. Sin embargo, no existe una normativa ni procedimientos de ensayo especificos que permitan definir las caracteristicas mecanicas que deben reunir paredes y pavimento del trinquete, para que los jugadores tengan una practica segura y optimicen su rendimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar diferentes variables mecanicas en las instalaciones de juego, determinar los procedimientos de ensayo mas adecuados y, finalmente, proponer unos valores mecanicos que definan una instalacion de calidad. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en 10…
In-depth characterization of denitrifier communities across different soil ecosystems in the tundra
2022
Abstract Background In contrast to earlier assumptions, there is now mounting evidence for the role of tundra soils as important sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). However, the microorganisms involved in the cycling of N2O in this system remain largely uncharacterized. Since tundra soils are variable sources and sinks of N2O, we aimed at investigating differences in community structure across different soil ecosystems in the tundra. Results We analysed 1.4 Tb of metagenomic data from soils in northern Finland covering a range of ecosystems from dry upland soils to water-logged fens and obtained 796 manually binned and curated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). We then sear…

Alberi sul tetto: uomini e donne in azione a NYC
2019
Il saggio riflette su alcune best pratics a NYC, relative all’implementazione di urban farms in aree dismesse o residuali. Il fenomeno viene letto: in termini storici, rispetto allo sviluppo complessivo della città, in termini politici, in termini civici e in chiave ecologica. Attraverso l’esplorazione delle dinamiche interne ai processi, è possibile apprezzare il valore, l’origine e l’efficacia della “partecipazione” e comprendere quale siano le interrelazioni tra le iniziative bottom-up e quelle istituzionali. Particolare attenzione viene rivolta al fenomeno delle Urban Rooftop Farms, gli orti sui tetti sorti su alcuni edifici (commerciali o ex produttivi) non più utilizzati; importanti n…
Quartiere in transizione. Il caso di Danisinni (Palermo) tra marginalità socio-spaziale e rigenerazione di comunità
2019
Nelle città contemporanee sempre più complesse e i cui confini diventano sempre più labili, il rafforzamento degli aspetti spazio-relazionali esistenti può divenire il fulcro su cui innestare nuove pratiche e politiche urbane con ricadute multiscalari. A partire dal riconoscimento del quartiere come dimensione di prossimità il presente contributo è una occasione per riflettere sui processi di gestione comunitaria per la riqualificazione urbana che provano a rispondere alle sempre più precarie condizioni di vita delle grandi città. Il caso analizzato, all’interno della neoistituita città metropolitana di Palermo, riguarda il quartiere di Danisinni, in cui depressione spaziale e depressione s…
Pathways for the amplification of agroecology in African sustainable urban agriculture
2020
A growing awareness that highly intensified agricultural systems have made a substantial worldwide contribution to the worsening of the resilience capacity of natural ecosystems has, over the last twenty years, brought general attention to agroecological management models. This aspect is even more evident in industrial agriculture, which is based on the use of multiple chemical products derived from non-natural synthesis. In more developed countries, a new idea of ecology linked to agricultural production has been increasingly developed and, for this reason, there has been a greater diffusion of differentiated agricultural models taking into consideration the environmental impact of product…

Mobility of Cultures and Knowledge Management in Contemporary Europe
2012
In the aftermath of the fall of the Iron Curtain, the European Union (EU) has included more and more new member states from Central and Eastern parts of the European continent. This enlargement process has increased the cultural diversity of the European community as new languages and minority groups have been subsumed into the EU. It is the purpose of this article to discuss the challenges that result from the EU's enlargement, together with the added intra-European mobility of cultures, that affect the national knowledge infrastructures. Based on recent social scientific scholarship on mobility and cultures, this article proposes that knowledge management in contemporary Europe is not onl…
