Rīgas reklāmas lingvistiskā ainava
2019
Ir grūti iedomāties ikdienas dzīvi bez kāda no reklāmas veidu sastapšanas; tās izpausmes var tikt analizētas, izmantojot gan reklāmas diskursa, gan lingvistiskās ainavas teoriju. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija petīt reklāmas Rīgā, salīdzinot tās starp tām, kuras ir sastopamas Rīgas Centrā un Vecpilsētā. Trīs valodas – latviešu, krievu un angļu – tika salīdzinātas, lai secinātu, kura no valodām tiek izmantota pārsvarā, un ko šie rezultāti varētu nozīmēt, kā arī, kuras grupas ir uzņēmumu mērķauditorija. Reklāmas tika pakļautas analīzei, kas saistīta ar reklāmas diskursa pazīmēm. Pētījuma mērķim tikai izmantota gadījuma analīzes metode, analizējot reklāmas diskursu, lingvistisko ainavu, likus un note…

The Role of Wastewater in Controlling Fluvial Erosion Processes on Clayey Bedrock
2023
In recent decades, fluvial erosion processes in highly anthropized areas are mainly associated with in-stream gravel mining activities or with the presence of artificial reservoirs which have increased the erosive capacity of the river as a consequence of the reduced sediment transport or the modification of the longitudinal profile of the channel. On the other hand, the role of pollutants in the degradation processes of soils with a predominantly clayey component is little known. The present study, through chemical analyses of water and mineralogical–geotechnical analyses of clayey soil samples taken along some river channels in central Italy in correspondence with water treatment pl…
Trascrivere il tessuto. Progetti di architettura per il centro antico di Palermo
2022
Il volume che contiene il saggio presenta uno sguardo trasversale che prova a coniugare le risorse storiche dei paesaggi urbani, gli interventi di conservazione con le trasformazioni contemporanee di qualità, il patrimonio tangibile e intangibile, lo sviluppo economico e sociale, indirizzandolo soprattutto a una loro immissione nella vita quotidiana della città. In ciascuno dei contributi vi è una specifica attenzione al ruolo dell’Architettura nella costruzione delle nuove relazioni urbane nel confronto tra la città contemporanea e i ‘Paesaggi storici urbani‘. Il saggio, richiamando l’esperienza svolta nell’ambito di un ampio laboratorio di laurea, affronta la ricostruzione di edifici rido…
Assessing preferences and motivations for owning exotic pets : Care matters
2023
Understanding drivers of demand for exotic pets may help inform adequate conservation strategies to address unsustainable trade. Here, we used a best-worst scaling approach to understand the variety of preferences and motivations for owning exotic pets. Respondents (316 from 33 countries) preferred exotic pets that were captive-bred, had rare aesthetic features, and were common in the wild and abundant in the market. Species that were at risk of extinction, in short supply, sourced from the wild, and under trade restrictions were the least favoured by respondents. Feelings of care, such as attachment, affection, nurture, as well as curiosity and being passionate about the species, were domi…
Changing forest stakeholders’ perception of ecosystem services with linguistic nudging
2019
This paper explores whether the perceptions of forest owners and professionals could be nudged towards more sustainable management practices by adjusting a policy text's metaphorical content. Recent research has demonstrated a link between information interventions and preference change, but there is a need to further explore individuals' reactions to information on forest-based ecosystem services and to link these to the design of policy instruments. We contribute to narrowing this gap by nudging the content of a policy text comparing rotation forest management (RFM) and continuous cover forestry (CCF), and exposing it to forest stakeholders. The research is carried out in Finland, the so-…
Chrząszcze (Coleoptera) Suwalskiego Parku Krajobrazowego: monografia
2020
The beetles of the Suwalski Landscape Park (NE Poland) were studied between the years 2006−2013. The park covers an area of 6338 ha. Various field methods were used including sweep netting, dip netting, catching by hand, investigation of potential foraging sites of saproxylic beetles, rearing of cambio- and xylophagous larvae from inhabited material and attracting to artificial light sources. On the basis of our field studies and literature data, 1052 beetle species from 70 families were recorded, of which 715 have not been previously reported in the Park. One species – Variimorda briantea – is new to the Masurian Lake Region. The most numerous families were: rove beetles Staphylinidae (208…
Amphibian survival compromised by long-term effects of chytrid fungus
2022
AbstractChytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has been unambiguously implicated in the decline of amphibian populations worldwide. However, the impact of this devastating infectious disease can be difficult to gauge without empirical data on the population-level effects of Bd. Often, assessments of the amphibian chytridiomycosis panzootic are based primarily on expert opinions; as a result, declines in tropical areas are promptly attributed to Bd while its impact on temperate species not suffering from adult mass mortalities is frequently overlooked. Here, we investigated the survival probability in an amphibian species from a tempe…
Per un’arte dell’equilibrio in moto. Giardini e parchi, politiche urbane, azione pubblica e azioni comunitarie a New York City
2017
Abstract Le dinamiche del Real estate, a NYC, snodo della trasformazione e dell’economia urbana, si scontrano e misurano con uno dei capitoli rappresentativi della partecipazione: il processo di edificazione dei Parchi e dei Giardini che vengono qui considerati come “fronte di resistenza” al consumo di suolo e come generatori di percorsi civici. Dall’idea, alla gestione, infatti, e con varie declinazioni, i giardini sono da sempre frutto di azioni bottom-up. In un contesto assai differente da quello europeo (sia per la compagine sociale attiva, sia per gli “stili” di pianificazione), la relazione tra lo sviluppo immobiliare e il tessuto dei parchi e dei giardini diviene occasione per esplor…
Anthropogenic Influences in Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Mediterranean Forest Landscapes in Sicily
2016
This paper analyzes and quantifies the land use/land cover changes of the main forest and semi-natural landscape types in Sicily between 1955 and 2012. We analyzed seven representative forest and shrubland landscapes in Sicily. These study areas were chosen for their importance in the Sicilian forest panorama. We carried out a diachronic survey on historical and current aerial photos; all the aerial images used to survey the land use/land cover changes were digitalized and georeferenced in the UTM WGS84 system. In order to classify land use, the Regional Forest Inventory 2010 legend was adopted for the more recent images, and the CORINE Land Cover III level used for the older, lower resolut…
