Respingimenti a catena e tutela cautelare del diritto d’asilo. Le ordinanze del Tribunale di Roma sulle ‘riammissioni informali’ in Slovenia

2021

On the 3rd of May, the Rome Tribunal accepted the complaint lodged by the Ministry of Interior against the interim measure with which, last January, the same Court declared the illegitimacy of the procedure of migrants and asylum seekers informal readmission in Slovenia, because of the violation inter alia of the principle of non-refoulement. Despite the negative outcome for the asylum seekers, the order of the complaint did not refute the reasoning of the judge of the first instance who, for the first time, recognized the entry protection by issuing an urgent precautionary measure. This contribution focuses on the recent tendency of States’ national Courts to provide protection, including …

Cooperation on Readmission in the Mediterranean Area and its Human Rights Implications

Questo lavoro analizza la ‘dimensione esterna’ delle politiche migratorie dell’Unione Europea e dei suoi Stati membri concentrandosi su strumenti, politiche e pratiche di cooperazione internazionale in materia di riammissione, rimpatrio e partenariato per la mobilità con Paesi terzi nell’area mediterranea. In particolare, lo scopo di questo studio è di analizzare criticamente le politiche europee e bilaterali in materia di riammissione, indagando da un lato il crescente ricorso a strumenti di cooperazione internazionale di tipo informale e di natura quasi-giuridica o politica, e dall’altro l’impatto di tali strumenti sul rispetto degli standard internazionali e sovranazionali di tutela dei …

Replacing short-haul flights with land-based transportation modes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: the case of Finland

2019

Even though air travel often provides the fastest transport option, it also has the highest climate impact. Especially on long-haul trips, an aircraft usually represents the only feasible option. Nevertheless, aircraft are more often used on short-haul routes as well. It is the short-haul flights that produce the highest emissions per passenger. These are also the ones that could be replaced the most easily by land-based transportation modes. This study investigates the greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential of replacing short-haul flights with train, coach and car travel within Finland while also taking into account real travel times from door to door. Our results showed that replaci…

Julkista lastensuojelun perhetyötä yksityiskodissa

2019

The purpose of this doctoral dissertation in social work is to illustrate the open care child welfare support that is conducted in private homes. Family work in this study is seen as essentially morally charged work, because the study’s theoretical background approach-es social work from a perspective of reflective, relation-based theory. The object of the study is parents’ and family workers’ experiences of family work, especially within a private home setting. The research data were collected from eight family workers and eight parents from six different families. These individual interviews were conducted as thematic interviews in 2014 and 2015. The data were analysed using thematic cont…

Lapsen osallisuus Suomen adoptiolainsäädännössä – lainsäädännön muutosten ja niiden historiallisten syiden tarkastelua osallisuusnäkökulmasta

2019

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan normatiivisen, oikeushistoriallisen näkökulman kautta lapsen osallisuutta ja sen institutionalistista muutosta suomalaisessa adoptiojärjestelmässä. Keskeinen kysymys on, miten ja miksi lapsen asema osallistuvana subjektina on historiallisesti määritelty ja muuttunut adoptiota ja lastensuojelua koskevassa lainsäädännössä. Osallisuuden muutoksia lainsäädännössä tarkastellaan suhteessa kansainvälisessä adoptiojärjestelmässä ja lapsen oikeusasemassa 1920 -luvulta vuoteen 2018 tapahtuneisiin muutoksiin. Aineistona käytetään a) adoptio- ja lastensuojelulainsäädäntöä ja sen valmisteluasiakirjoja ja b) adoptioon, oikeusteoriaan ja lapsen lainsäädännöllisen aseman historia…

Algae in urban water bodies - control of growth and use as a biomas

2018

Enhancing the ecology security of Ukraine and other developing countries is predetermined by the environmental problems of cities. It prompts studies on the contamination of city's and adjacent water bodies. The control of blue-green algae distribution and the use of its biomass for production of the biofuels, energy, oils, medicine, etc. is one of the contributing factors to the well-balanced development of infrastructure of cities. The intensity of the processes of eutrophication and the species composition of the algae, which cause algal blooming, was investigated based on data of the Vorskla River in Poltava city (Ukraine). Relevant methods, statistical data of Ukrainian Environmental S…

The magnesium isotope record of cave carbonate archives

2012

Here we explore the potential of magnesium (δ<sup>26</sup>Mg) isotope time-series data as continental climate proxies in speleothem calcite archives. For this purpose, a total of six Pleistocene and Holocene stalagmites from caves in Germany, Morocco and Peru and two flowstones from a cave in Austria were investigated. These caves represent the semi-arid to arid (Morocco), the warm-temperate (Germany), the equatorial-humid (Peru) and the cold-humid (Austria) climate zones. Changes in the calcite magnesium isotope signature with time are compared against carbon and oxygen isotope records from these speleothems. Similar to other proxies, the non-trivial interaction of a …

The reconstruction of easterly wind directions for the Eifel region (Central Europe) during the period 40.3–12.9 ka BP

2010

Abstract. A high resolution continuous reconstruction of last glacial wind directions is based on provenance analysis of eolian sediments in a sediment core from the Dehner dry Maar in the Eifel region (Germany). This Maar is suitable to archive easterly wind directions due to its location west of the Devonian carbonate basins of the Eifel-North-South-Zone. Thus, eolian sediments with high clastic carbonate content can be interpreted as an east wind signal. The detection of such east wind sediments is applied by a new module of the RADIUS grain size analyze technique. The investigated time period from 40.3–12.9 ka BP can be subclassified in three units: The first unit covers the periods of …

Blue intensity and density from northern Fennoscandian tree rings, exploring the potential to improve summer temperature reconstructions with earlywo…

2014

Abstract. Here we explore two new tree-ring parameters, derived from measurements of wood density and blue intensity (BI). The new proxies show an increase in the interannual summer temperature signal compared to established proxies, and present the potential to improve long-term performance. At high latitudes, where tree growth is mainly limited by low temperatures, radiodensitometric measurements of wood density, specifically maximum latewood density (MXD), provides a temperature proxy that is superior to that of tree-ring widths. The high cost of developing MXD has led to experimentation with a less expensive method using optical flatbed scanners to produce a new proxy, herein referred t…
