Elaboration of a method to categorize substances of interest as regards to their potential endocrine disrupting activity: assessment and categorizati…
2021
EDCs are substances that alter function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse health effects. The endocrine system consists of many cells and tissues that interact with each other and the rest of the body by means of hormones. This system is responsible for controlling a large number of processes in the body from gamete formation, to conception and early developmental processes such as organogenesis, and to most tissue and organ functions throughout life. EDCs interfere with endocrine function by many ways and, in doing so, lead to adverse effects on the health of humans and/or wildlife. Some of the observed health effects associated with EDCs include, butare not limited…
What makes a citrus farmer go 'organic'? Empirical evidence from Spanish citrus farming
2012
Organic farming is increasing its share of total world food output and receiving grow-ing support from policymakers concerned with agricultural sustainability issues. This paper studies the characteristics of citrus farmers in the Spanish region of Valencia that affect their probability of becoming organic farmers. A fair understanding of these characteristics may help policymakers improve the design of agricultural policies aimed at supporting organic citrus practices. As regards the methodology, a probit model is estimated with information from a sample of conventional and organic citrus farmers obtained from a survey designed for a larger research project aimed at analysing Valencian cit…
Valutazione e personalizzazione a scuola: le prove oggettive di profitto

Urban Services to Ecosystems: An Introduction
2021
Green infrastructure is a structural system of naturally developed human societies, capable of preserving and ensuring as much space as possible to the local biodiversity. For this reason, green infrastructure shall be planned and designed so that the urban built environment is in harmony with the surrounding biotic communities. The challenge is to sustain nature-based solutions in order to improve citizens’ awareness towards natural and semi-natural ecosystems while providing our society with a more liveable, healthier, safer and fairer environment. This book puts an emphasis on the services the city can offer to nature, thanks to a multidisciplinary approach involving scientists and pract…
La regola di giudizio nel patteggiamento tra cursus ordinario e revisione
2022
The article aims to deepen a fundamental and much debated profile in relation to the special rite of the Italian patteggiamento. In particular, the Author, in the light of an analysis of the undoubted particularities of the judicial mechanism of application of penalty upon request of the parties, intends to focus on the essence and the operation that the judgment rule assumes, respectively, in the ordinary cursus of criminal proceeding and in therevision, trying to offer an interpretative reconstruction that is able to reconcile the (substantial) needs of justice and the (formal) reasons for systematic coherence.
Food-Based Dietary Guidelines around the World: A Comparative Analysis to Update AESAN Scientific Committee Dietary Recommendations
2021
Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) include dietary recommendations based on food groups according to the general and accepted nutrition principles and current scientific evidence. Adoption of FBDG contributes to the prevention of malnutrition in all its forms, promotes human health, and reduces environmental impact. The present review aims to perform an international comparative analysis of the FBDG adopted in different countries from three different continents (America, Asia, and Europe), with particular reference to the Spanish Food Safety and Nutrition Agency (AESAN, Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición) Scientific Committee dietary recommendations. A total of twelve c…
La formazione degli insegnanti alla ricerca
2022
Il contributo muove dall’assunto secondo cui la ricerca ha di per sé un valore formativo strategico. Pertanto, dopo aver focalizzato l’attenzione su alcune peculiarità della ricerca empirica in educazione, ci si focalizza sul ruolo della formazione alla ricerca dei docenti, sia in termini di fruizione che di conduzione autonoma, con particolare riferimento alla prospettiva dell’Evidence Based Education (EBE) e alla ricerca-azione.
Could tsunami risk be underestimated using core‐based reconstructions? Lessons from ground penetrating radar
2017
Where should we take cores for palaeotsunami research? It is generally considered that local depressions with low energy environments such as wetlands are one of the best places. However, it is also recognized that the presence or absence of palaeotsunami deposits (and their relative thickness) is highly dependent upon subsoil microtopography. In the beach ridge system of Ishinomaki Plain, Japan, several palaeotsunami deposits linked to past Japan Trench earthquakes have been reported. However, the number of palaeotsunami deposits reported at individual sites varies considerably. This study used ground penetrating radar (GPR) combined with geological evidence to better understand the relati…
L'ammissibilità della prova testimoniale resa in sede penale e dello strumento presuntivo al vaglio del principio del giusto processo tributario
2020
Il principio del giusto processo sancito dall’art. 111 della Costituzione, riferendosi ad “ogni processo”, trova pacifica applicazione anche all’interno processo tributario. La concreta applicazione delle regole di questo principio in materia fiscale imporrebbe indubbiamente una revisione delle norme che disciplinano il contenzioso, ancora lontane dal garantire un’effettiva parità delle parti nel processo. L’argomento coinvolge necessariamente il tema delle prove. Nello scritto viene svolta qualche breve considerazione sulle criticità che presenta la trasmigrazione all’interno del processo tributario della prova testimoniale assunta in sede penale e l’utilizzo processuale di alcune presunzi…
Sociolinguistic Resilience Among Young Academics. A Quantitative Analysis in Germany and France
2021
International audience; Already Friedrich Schiller was convinced that language mirrors a nation. If this is the case, then the often deplored ‘brutalization of language’, which has almost become a buzzword in the wake of the refugee crisis in Germany that started in 2015, points to a serious social crisis by raising questions of (national) identity and self-understanding. Based on newly introduced sociolinguistic resilience concept in line with the concept of group focus enmity (GFE) combining the dimensions of co-adaptation and co-evolution of linguistic signs, this article presents preliminary empirical evidence of a ‘classroom’ survey conducted among students in four university towns in …
