Chemical composition of the essential oil of Centaurea sicana and C. giardinae growing wild in Sicily
2008
The essential oils of Centaurea sicana (S) and C. giardinae (G) were studied by GC and GC-MS. Thirty constituents for S, representing 81.5% of the total oil, and 24 compounds for G (94.2% of the total) were identified. The oils were rich in sesquiterpenoids (47.9% for S and 54.7% for G) and hydrocarbons (25.9% for S and 31.7% for G). Germacrene D (13.3%), (E)-β-farnesene (8.3%), nonacosane (7.3%), heptacosane (6.5%) and phytol (6%) were recognized as the main constituents for S, while caryophyllene oxide (17.7%), nonacosane (14.5%), germacrene D (11.5%), caryophyllene (11.2%) and heptacosane (10.3%) were the main compounds for G.
Preliminary results of the 2017 season in the Amazonian earthen structures known as geoglyphs.
2018
O trabalho realizado pela equipe de pesquisa multidisciplinar, liderada pela Universitat de Valencia Estudi General (UVEG) e a Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC), de detalhamento da topografia, em especial na RESEX Chico Mendes, criou progresso significativo no conhecimento das estruturas de terra construídas na paisagem amazônica, conhecidas popularmente como geoglifos, no que se refere a aplicação de topografia de alta precisão para algumas das estruturas, compreensão geral fenômeno e aplicação de uma nova estratégia de pesquisa, com o auxílio de ferramentas como o Google Earth, Google Maps, GPX, OpenStreetMap e Lidar. Ainda há muito trabalho de campo a ser feito na Amazônia Ocidental, n…

The benedictine church and monastery of Santa Maria Maddalena of Corleone. Works of art and documents
2019
Il lavoro esamina le diverse fasi di costruzione della chiesa e del complesso monastico di santa Maria Maddalena di Corleone, importante centro dell’entroterra siciliano, soffermandosi in particolare all’età moderna. Le inedite fonti archivistiche indagate oltre ad individuare le maestranze impegnate nei lavori fanno emergere importanti artisti. Successivamente si passa all’individuazione delle opere d’arte sacra ancora esistenti mai indagate scientificamente e raccolte insieme per la prima volta. This work examines the different phases of construction of the church and the monastic complex of Santa Maria Maddalena of Corleone, an important centre in the Sicilian hinterland, focusing in par…
Sublime and grotesque:exploring the liminal positioning of clowns between oppositional aesthetic categories
2019
The horror clown is a potential rooted in the liminalities that are an integral part of the clown figure per se. Drawing on anthropological work and the study of popular culture, this paper argues that clowns can be placed between different dualistic frames such as the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the grotesque, and fear and disgust. This positioning and the ways in which clowns operate between these categories are transmitted aesthetically. In this paper the dualistic aesthetics and violent potential of clowns is examined through three different clown examples: the ritual clown, the circus clown and the horror clown. Field observations made by Keisalo of the Chapayeka rituals cl…

Evaluation of antifungal activity of three essential oils against selected isolates of Penicillium, Purpureocillium and Acremonium
2018
Storage is a critical process of food production because incorrect conditions during this process lead to the growth of economic costs caused by material loss. It is important to maintain adequate microbiological purity of storage areas. The development of microbes present in warehouses may lead to secondary contamination of stored materials and reduce their quality. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of essential oils on the growth of Acremonium strictum , Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium expansum and Purpureocillium lilacinum . Fungal strains were isolated from the food warehouse. Studies on the influence of selected mix of phenolic substances were performed using three comm…
Comparison of soil microorganism abundance and diversity in stands of European aspen (Populus tremulaL.) and hybrid aspen (Populus tremuloidesMichx. …
2011
The use of short rotation forest tree species is increasing worldwide. The hybrid aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx. × P. tremula L.) is one of the suitable tree species under the climatic conditions of the Baltic region. The cultivation of these trees on former agricultural soils differs from agricultural practices with reduced soil tillage and is characterized by increased demand of nutrients, which in long term can cause changes in the soil microbial populations. The aim of our investigation was to compare soil microbial populations in hybrid aspen and European aspen (P. tremula L.) stands in four sampling plots with aspen age ranging from 10 to 46 years. The abundance and diversity of so…
El procés d'informació i orientació professional: aproximació al perfil de l'orientador
2008
Durant els últims anys, el concepte d'educació permanent, també anomenat Life Long Learning, ha estat objecte de debat en el disseny de polítiques i accions educatives a Europa. L'orientació professional constitueix un element estructural i funcional del sistema educatiu i formatiu amb un objectiu clar: l'èxit d'una inserció professional i social satisfactòria de la persona. L'orientació professional comprèn aspectes d'informació acadèmica i laboral juntament amb altres aspectes fonamentals com és ara el coneixement de la persona i les possibilitats de l'entorn. La informació acadèmica i professional és un element imprescindible per a l'orientació. L'orientació professional s'ha de dirigir …
