Gestion du pâturage au printemps en système bovin allaitant : diversité des pratiques en Saône-et-Loire
2009
National audience; Grazed grass is the cheapest forage for making meat'. In order to incite farmers to make their forage systems more self-sufficient and thrifty, the 'Chambre d'Agriculture de Saone-et-Loire' (a professional agricultural organization for that departement) has been monitoring for five years the management of spring grazing on 23 farms. The analysis of farmers' practices lead to considerations as to put to the best use the grazed grass, according to the pedo-climatic conditions and the constraints of the farms. With the aim of optimizing the pasture resources in order to limit the purchase of concentrates and to cope with the climatic hazards, the study of the management of s…
Assessment of Researchers Through Bibliometric Indicators: The Area of Information and Library Science in Spain as a Case Study (2001–2015)
2018
Research activities are subject to constant processes of evaluation, which increasingly include the use of bibliometric indicators to support decision-making. This paper presents a model for the individual evaluation of different facets of researchers' work and discusses the interest in using “control” parameters to identify deviations suggesting inappropriate conduct. The proposed model is illustrated through an empirical example that analyzes the activity of Spanish researchers in the area of Library and Information Science. There are important differences among the most productive authors, and in many cases, there is no association between the degree of participation in high-impact journ…
Working outside academia? : perceptions of early-career, fixed-term researchers on changing careers
2019
This article examines the perceptions of early-career, fixed-term researchers in Finnish universities towards changing careers. It maps out the reasons this group has considered the change and where they see themselves in five years. As a theoretical framework, a synthesisation of variables related to career change, created by Ryan, Healy, and Sullivan [2012. “Oh, Won’t You Stay? Predictors of Faculty Intent to Leave a Public University.” Higher Education 63: 421–437.], was used. The results show that the most common reasons for early-career researchers to change careers are job-security related stress, job-related dissatisfaction, and salary. Over half of the respondents would like to work…
Mediterranean Diet, Sustainability, and Tourism—A Study of the Market’s Demand and Knowledge
2023
Globalization intensified competitiveness among agribusinesses worldwide in recent years. The European Commission focused on enhancing sustainable agriculture and food products’ territorial uniqueness for competing in the international market. The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a model of feeding and lifestyle belonging to the ancient Mediterranean culture, which also embodies a sustainable food system. Therefore, in 2010, UNESCO recognized the MD as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and Sicily (southern Italy) is its official physical site. Despite its worldwide fame, the notion of the MD runs the risk of being mystified because it is described most often as something that does not cor…
Sustainable agriculture: Recognizing the potential of conflict as a positive driver for transformative change
2020
International audience; Transformative changes in agriculture at multiple scales are needed to ensure sustainability, i.e. achieving food security while fostering social justice and environmental integrity. These transformations go beyond technological fixes and require fundamental changes in cognitive, relational, structural and functional aspects of agricultural systems. However, research on agricultural transformations fails to engage deeply with underlying social aspects such as differing perceptions of sustainability, uncertainties and ambiguities, politics of knowledge, power imbalances and deficits in democracy. In this paper, we suggest that conflict is one manifestation of such und…
Larval zebrafish as an in vitro model for evaluating toxicological effects of mycotoxins.
2020
The presence of mycotoxins in food has created concern. Mycotoxin prevalence in our environment has changed in the last few years maybe due to climatic and other environmental changes. Evidence has emerged from in vitro and in vivo models: some mycotoxins have been found to be potentially carcinogenic, embryogenically harmful, teratogenic, and to generate nephrotoxicity. The risk assessment of exposures to mycotoxins at early life stages became mandatory. In this regard, the effects of toxic compounds on zebrafish have been widely studied, and more recently, mycotoxins have been tested with respect to their effects on developmental and teratogenic effects in this model system, which offers …
ARCHITETTURA E COSCIENZA TECNOLOGICA : LA COSTRUIBILITÀ DEL PROGETTO - UN DIBATTITO APERTO
2004
Il principio di centralità della tecnologia, nel rapporto tra progetto e costruzione, scaturisce da una lunga trattatistica sul significato della tecnica e del suo rapporto con le arti, i mestierie l’architettura a partire dagli antichi greci e romani. La tecnologia come arte del costruire ha origine classica, Vitruvio è senz’altro il più citato tra gli illustri latini.. Il dibattito umanistico-scientifico assume un ruolo di rilievo nell’Università tedesca alla fine del ‘700 in Germania, dove la tecnologia dell’architettura viene introdotta come disciplina autonoma. Johann Beckmann1 (1739-1811), uno dei padri della tecnologia nascente, la definiva come la disciplina che studia le trasformaz…
TECNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF SUSTAINABILITY: FACTORS OF DECAY AND PREVENTION MEASURES
2006
This is the age of the"global knowledge", of the "local inadequacies", of the specialist enterprises and of the management difficulties. Today is necessary to create new perspectives to limit the rissk both material (structural decay / phisical obsolescence/ security needs/ static disease) and cultural and environmental (funtion degradations - inattentive environmental conditions) and to realize the right living conditions and protection for the development of guidelines for the 21st century construction. This research aims at the creation of new tools for developing a history of building technologies as they relate to their pathologies.
Avoimen lähdekoodin alustojen sopivuus älykotiin
2017
Internet of Things kasvaa jatkuvasti ja sen eräs suurimmista sovelluskohteista on älykoti. IoT:n ongelmana on kuitenkin ollut keskimäärin erittäin huono tietoturva ja tämä on heijastunut myös älykoteihin esimerkiksi hakkeroituina kameroina ja itkuhälyttiminä. Toinen, älykodissa erityisen suuri ongelma on kerätyn tiedon yksityisyys. Tässä tutkielmassa kartoitetaan, kuinka hyvin avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmistot soveltuvat toimivan ja turvallisen älykodin toteuttamiseen. Turvallisuuden osalta painopisteenä on erityisesti etäyhteys. Tutkimus toteutettiin konstruktiivisena tutkimuksena. Se ei käsittele yksittäisiä ohjelmistoja kovin syvällisesti, vaan sen tarkoituksena oli saada kattavahko yleisk…
