Informazione floristica e qualità ambientale: analisi delle brioflore di alcune aree verdi dello spazio urbano di Palermo
2006
The results of a study on the bryofloras of three historical gardens (Villa Giulia, Parco d'Orléans and Giardino Garibaldi) and other four smaller green areas (at Niscemi, Stazione Lolli, Castelnuovo e Kalsa squares) of Palermo are provided. These bryofloras (including 65 taxa) are analyzed from the taxonomic, ecological and chorological point of view and compared with Botanical Garden one. Bryofloristic indices, used as instrument of environmental evaluation, show that bryophyte flora of smaller green areas is more affected by building and traffic density of surrounding zone
Industrial Areas and the City. Equalization and Compensation in a Value-Oriented Allocation Pattern
2016
This study deals with the allocation of the firms in a large industrial area of Quarto, a town in the Naples’ district subject to a “Piano di Insediamenti Industriali” – PIP (Industrial Settlement Masterplan). The main concern of the Municipality is the fair integration between environmental issues, economic development and urban identity. Therefore a structured evaluation process, based on a survey about the company profiles and their geographical location, has been carried out in order to make the plan meet the needs of the firms, and to select the best companies to settle in the planned area. A “generative” MAVT pattern has been designed to outline several layout options and to select th…
The trust episode in organizations: implications for private and public social capital
2009
Taking into account that research on organizational trust is fragmented, the present article proposes an integrated view of the episode of trust in organizations. To this end, the authors define trust and analyze its proximal and distal sources. They also examine the potential role of context, again considering proximal and distal facets. In addition, they explore the consequences of organizational trust leading to private and public social capital. Finally, the authors consider different levels of construct in the analysis of the trust episode in organizations. This effort helps integrate dispersed research efforts and reveals neglected research areas in the investigation on organizational…
Variability of the Level of Development of Functopnal Urban Areas
2018
Miejskie obszary funkcjonalne mają istotne znaczenie w realizacji zarówno Krajowej Polityki Miejskiej 2023, jak i terytorialnej polityki rozwoju. Celem badania jest określenie poziomu rozwoju obszarów funkcjonalnych miast wojewódzkich Polski. Badania przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem metody taksonomicznej w ujęciu dynamicznym obejmującym okres 2005-2015. Podstawę wyznaczenia wielkości taksonomicznych stanowił zestaw wskaźników diagnostycznych ujętych w trzech wymiarach rozwoju: społecznym, gospodarczym i środowiskowym. W ramach badania została podjęta ocena poziomu rozwoju miast centralnych MOF oraz oddzielnie miast i gmin ich otoczenia. Dodatkowo określono poziom rozwoju każdego z wymiarów r…
Polymers with antiviral properties: A brief review.
2021
Viruses that are pathogenic to humans and livestock pose a serious epidemiological threat and challenge the world's population. The SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic has made the world aware of the scale of the threat. The surfaces of various materials can be a source of viruses that remain temporarily contagious in the environment. Few polymers have antiviral effects that reduce infectivity or the presence of a virus in the human environment. Some of the effects are due to certain physical properties, e.g., high hydrophobicity. Other materials owe their antiviral activity to a modified physicochemical structure favoring the action on specific virus receptors or on their biochemistry. Current re…
One is Enough: Influencing Polymer Properties with a Single Chromophoric Unit
2011
1) Institute for Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry, University of Hamburg, Bundesstrasse 45, D-‐20146 Hamburg, Germany 2) WCU program of C2E2, School of Chemical and Biological, Engineering, College of Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Designing a polymer usually involves the incorporation of multiple functional units into a polymer chain, which mutually determine the polymer properties. By combining various functional units, a myriad of polymer properties can be fine-‐ tuned. Classical polymer chemistry teaches us that a single functional group -‐-‐ in particular the end-‐group of a polymer chain -‐-‐ does not contribute to the polymer properties, as is indee…
Fostering resilience in Inner Areas. The Sicani case study in Sicily
2022
In recent years, the theme of the regeneration of small centres in fragile and marginal areas has returned to the centre of the Italian debate and public policies, as well as resilience practices in which culturally-based regenera-tion projects, community cooperatives and resettlement processes are based on a spatial dimension capable of playing an active and unprecedented role. The COVID-19 pandemic we are currently experiencing has reignited the debate on fragile areas, reinforcing the perception of those territorial ine-qualities between metropolitan and inner areas exacerbated by the crisis. In fact, the pandemic has further highlighted the serious shortcomings in the provision of servi…
Rzadkie i ginące zbiorowiska roślin wodnych z klasy Potametea Słowińskiego Parku Narodowego
2018
Słowiński Park Narodowy, o powierzchni 32 744 ha, został utworzony w 1967 roku, a do sieci Światowych Rezerwatów Biosfery włączony w 1977 roku. Ponad połowę obszaru parku zajmują ekosystemy wodne, w tym pobrzeże Bałtyku, jeziora Łebsko, Gardno, Dołgie Wielkie i Dołgie Małe oraz w mniejszym stopniu rzeki: Łeba, Łupawa i Pustynka. W trakcie badań prowadzonych w latach 2013–2014 stwierdzono stanowiska czterech rzadkich i ginących zbiorowisk roślin wodnych z klasy Potametea, nienotowanych dotąd na obszarze Słowińskiego PN. Są to zespoły: rdestnicy trawiastej Potametum graminei, rdestnicy alpejskiej Potametum alpini, rogatka krótkoszyjkowego Ceratophylletum submersi ze związku Potamion oraz zesp…
Regionalization processes in agricultural and environmental policies. A regional typologies comparative analysis to identifying fragile areas
2018
This paper, affecting an analysis comparative of the different regional typologies, it analyzes the concept of weakness, with reference to the phenomena of degrade and disarrangement of the grounds, inside the processes of identification of functional territorial articulations to the statistical analysis and the decisions of policy, showing as despite the existence of a fed together of interpretations none of the examined typologies both indeed able to furnish a representation suitable of the phenomenon, since the different procedures of regionalization introduce not suitable discriminatory methodologies.
I territori marginali come laboratorio di futuro per le politiche di innovazione digitale
2021
Il contributo propone una riflessione sulla dimensione digitale, componente indispensabile della quotidianit , descrivendo alcune delle politiche italiane messe in atto negli ultimi anni per la “digitalizzazione” del Paese, con uno sguardo a quelle aree che soffrono maggiormente per un digital divide elevato, analizzando nella seconda parte alcune esperienze di innovazione digitale a supporto dello sviluppo di territori marginali e presentando alcuni elementi di criticit legati a questa dimensione nel territorio dei Nebrodi. Nell’Italia dei “territori marginali” dove la perdita di popolazione e il conseguente abbandono dei centri abitati costituisce una ferita per l’intero Paese, si contra…
