Early Effects of No-Till Use on Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.): Productivity and Soil Functioning Vary between Two Contrasting Mediterranean Soils
2022
The diffusion of no-tillage (NT) is to be encouraged because of the benefits it can provide in terms of improving soil fertility and counteracting global warming and climate change as part of climate-smart agriculture practices. However, the introduction of this management can be difficult, especially in the first years of application, and can lead to unpredictable yield results depending on the soil type. Therefore, the aim of this experiment was to evaluate the early effect of NT use, compared to the conventional mouldboard ploughing (CT), on two different soils, a clay-loam (GAL) and a sandy-clay-loam soil (SMA), by monitoring a set of 43 different soil and plant variables that were expe…
Rozwój regionalny w ujęciu komparatywnym - na przykładzie Dolnego Śląska, Opolszczyzny i Górnego Śląska. Poziom rozwoju – analiza wybranych aspektów
2015
Artykuł zawiera analizę porównawczą poziomu rozwoju trzech polskich województw: dolnośląskiego, opolskiego i śląskiego. Za pomocą opracowanego miernika rozwoju regionalnego, autor analizuje cztery główne komponenty rozwoju – gospodarka, konkurencyjność i innowacje, kapitał ludzki, kapitał społeczny i jakość życia. Autor stawia tezę, że województwo najlepiej rozwinięte gospodarczo osiąga pozytywne wyniki także na pozostałych płaszczyznach analizy. Badania rozwoju regionalnego powinny być zatem wieloczynnikowe, gdyż proces ten związany jest nie tylko z gospodarką, ale wpływa również na sferę społeczną (np. warunki życia ludności) czy polityczną (konieczność prowadzenia polityki regionalnej uw…
New Indicators of Approximation Errors for Problems in Continuum Mechanics
2010
In this paper we present a new error indicator for approximate solutions of elliptic problems. We discuss error indication with the paradigm of the diffusion problem, however the techniques are easily adaptable to more complicated elliptic problems, for example to linear elasticity, viscous flow models and electromagnetic models. The proposed indicator does not contain mesh dependent constants and it admits parallelization. nonPeerReviewed
Crescita verde: un'analisi delle regioni italiane
2012
La ripresa economica e l’interesse verso le problematiche ambientali sono oggetto di studio da parte di molti paesi e organismi internazionali con l’obiettivo di definire un sentiero di sviluppo incentrato su una“crescita verde” (green growth). L’economia verde (green economy) si può definire come un sistema che mira ad uno sviluppo che utilizza le risorse in maniera efficiente e sostenibile, in modo da garantire che la crescita eil benessere non impoveriscano il patrimonio naturale e questo possa rinnovarsi continuando a fornire nel tempo risorse e servizi ambientali. Nella definizione degli obiettivi di una crescita verde si evidenziano le carenze del PIL come unico indicatore di riferime…
Crescita verde e sviluppo sostenibile. Approcci multidimensionali per la valutazione delle regioni italiane
2014
L’obiettivo principale di questa tesi di dottorato è quello di valutare la crescita verde e lo sviluppo sostenibile delle regioni italiane utilizzando un approccio multidimensionale finalizzato alla costruzione di indicatori compositi. L’analisi in componenti principali è utilizzata per sintetizzare le variabili che rappresentano dimensioni della crescita verde e della sostenibilità dello sviluppo. Particolare attenzione è dedicata ai metodi per derivare pesi di ponderazione endogeni, cioè basati sulla struttura dei dati. A differenza dell’analisi sulla crescita verde, dal confronto territoriale sullo sviluppo sostenibile sembra emergere il divario Nord-Sud, che caratterizza in particolare …
Ekonomiskā krīze Baltijas valstīs
2017
Diplomdarba tēma ir “Ekonomiskā krīze Baltijas valstīs”. Ekonomomiskā krīze Baltijas valstīs var tikt analizējama no vairākiem aspektiem, gan no kvalitatīvās puses – no teorijas, gan arī kvantitatīvās – statistiskās, pamatojoties uz ekonomiskajiem rādītājiem. Baltijas valstīs ekonomiskā krīzes cēloņsakarības ir saistītas gan no globālā aspekta, sākoties finanšu krīzes procesiem Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs, galvenokārt, banku sektora dēļ, ka arī vēlāk procesiem pārjeot arvien globālāka mērogā, tai skaitā citu pasuales banku mērogā. Visbiežāk ekonomiskās krīzes pārvarēšanas un novēršanas pasākumi tiek veikti ar finanšu isnturmentiem, politikas un piesardības pasākumiem. Problēmas būtība: Ek…
TEACHING ACTIVITY AND EVALUATION OF CRITICAL THINKING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
2019
The aim of this work is to verify the efficacy of a training program focused on the enhancement of critical thinking skills, realized with a group of children between the ages of 9 and 11 years, in the last year of primary school in the Palermo area. At school as in life, critical thinking skills are fundamental; these skills concern above all the integrated processing of information, the correct use of reasoning, the adequate formulation of judgments, the taking of autonomous and controlled choices. Technological expansion fuels the children and young people’s difficulties to organize the knowledge data, coming from several sources, in a coherent and logical way as well as to evaluate info…
An analytical review of destination competitiveness´ indicators
2015
The role of indicators in assisting tourism planners and decision-makers in evaluating performances, setting targets and anticipating future scenarios has been widely acknowledged by scholars. The purpose of this study is to provide an evaluation of existing composite indicators of tourism destination competitiveness (TDC) and propose a statistical toolbox/protocol to assess their effectiveness in empirical evaluations. We built the study’s protocol by enriching the OECD technical guidelines to build composite indicators. The protocol contains now 15 criteria used to examine the reviewed indicators, among these two useful quality measures. Ten studies were identified as providing a composit…
L'articulation des usages diagnostique et interactif d'un seul et même système de contrôle de gestion : le cas d'un système d'indicateurs environneme…
2013
With the conceptual framework of control levers of Simons (1995), this article shows how to coordinate diagnostic and interactive uses of the same "management control system" (in this case a system of environmental indicators) for the deployment and the emergence of new strategies. In contrast to the literature, we propose an articulation "in parallel" of levers of control as alternative to sliding levers of control. These results are obtained from a case study in a French wine and spirits subject to large strategic environmental uncertainties.
Detection of spatio-temporal local structure on seismic data
2017
For the description of the seismicity of an area, the comparison between local features of background and induced events could be a new perspective of research. In spatio-temporal point process, local second-order statistics provide information on the relationships of each event and its nearby events. In this paper, we use a test based on local indicators of spatio-temporal association (LISTA functions) for identifying different local structures comparing the two previous sets of events. We present a simulation study on the test and show the main results of the application on Greece earthquake data.
