Caccia alla volpe: nel labirinto della non fiction
2020
Con questo numero inauguriamo una nuova rubrica, Campo aperto, che ospiterà discussioni e polemiche su opere recenti e questioni controverse. Partiamo con un confronto che, incentrato su Max Fox o le relazioni pericolose di Sergio Luzzatto (2019), si dilata in ragionamento sul rapporto tra etica e letteratura e sulle caratteristiche della non fiction contemporanea.
Las publicaciones divulgativas como vehículo de difusión del patrimonio arqueológico: bibliografía de guías arqueológicas en España 1975-2005
2008
Se realiza una aproximación a las publicaciones de carácter divulgativo como medio para difundir y dar a conocer el patrimonio arqueológico. Para ello, se identifica y caracteriza un determinado género de publicaciones divulgativas: las guías arqueológicas. Se presenta una bibliografía de la literatura de este género publicada a lo largo de las tres últimas décadas en España, analizando la evolución diacrónica del número de publicaciones, la cobertura geográfica, las entidades editoras, la estructura y los contenidos recogidos en este tipo de obras. We analyse Popular Science Archaeological Books as a way of spreading the popularization of archaeological heritage. In that sense, we identifi…
Family entrepreneurial orientation as a driver of longevity in family firms: a historic analysis of the ennobled Trenor family and Trenor y Cía
2020
This study uses family entrepreneurial orientation to explain longevity and trans-generational value creation in Trenor y Cia., a Spanish family firm that remained in business for over three genera...
Salute dei re, salute del popolo. Mangiare e curarsi nella Sicilia tardomedievale
2013
Dining and personal health care are two dimensions which are strongly connected to the body, between need and pleasure. They are two dimensions which have many social, local, religious and economic implications involving knowledge and different therapies related to age and gender. The social role is equally important. With a focus on the court (noble, episcopal, real) and the cities, the present work focuses on the methods and the uses of healing practices of both kings and islanders.[it] Mangiare e curarsi sono due dimensioni fortemente connesse al corpo, tra bisogno e piacere. Due dimensioni dense di sfumature sociali e locali, religiose ed economiche, che implicano conoscenze e terapie d…
The social-ecological value of recreational fishing for sea trout; a potential for further development of the experience industry in Aust-Agder? (TRO…
2019
Prosjektleder Erik Höglund Prosjektet undersøkte hvilken betydning det å få sjøørret har for fritidsfiskere i form av fiskeglede og videre hva som er viktig for en god fiskeopplevelse. Bakgrunnen for dette er å få i stand et europeisk samarbeid og en søknad omkring sosio-økologiske problemstillinger i kystsonen, med fokus på fritidsfiske og turisme. I samarbeid med Aust-Agder Jeger- og Fiskeforening ble det utviklet mobil- og internettapplikasjoner som rapporteringsverktøy. Resultatene av bruken av dette verktøyet viste at fiskeeffektiviteten blant deltagerne var 1 sjøørret pr 5,34 timer fisket og det var ingen signifikant forskjell i fornøydhet knyttet til utstyrsvalg eller om fiskeren fik…
Experiments on the ectoparasitic deer ked that often attacks humans; preferences for body parts, colour and temperature.
2009
AbstractThe deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) can fail in its host search. Host search fails when an individual deer ked irreversibly accepts a host unsuitable for its reproduction (e.g. a human) and drops its wings. In northern Europe, the main host of the deer ked is the moose (Alces alces). The deer ked is increasingly causing serious problems for humans (for example, causing deer ked dermatitis) and is considered a threat for the recreational use of forests. The adult deer ked flies in early and mid-autumn to search for a host. Our aims were: (i) to study whether there are ways to avoid deer ked attacks by wearing particular clothing, and (ii) to evaluate deer ked host choice. Using human targ…
Remediation Practice at a Former Missile Base in Latvia
1998
Severe environmental pollution of soil and groundwater exists in Latvia from activities that took place at former Soviet military bases. Since 1994, the former owners of these territories have retaken possession of their lands and have started to use their properties for agriculture, exploitation of forests and recreation. These activities have increased the exposure of populations to toxic substances, with subsequent effects on human health.
A conceptual dynamic vegetation-soil model for arid and semiarid zones
2007
Plant ecosystems in arid and semiarid zones show high complexity from the point of view of water resources, since they depend on water availability to carry out their vital processes. In these climates, water stress is the main factor controlling vegetation development. The available water in the system results from a water balance where the soil, vegetation and the atmosphere are the key issues; but it is the vegetation which modulates (to a great extent) the total balance of water and the mechanisms of the feedback between soil and atmosphere, being the knowledge about soil moisture quite relevant for assessing available water and, as a consequence, for growth and plants maintenance and t…
Determining water use of sorghum from two-source energy balance and radiometric temperatures
2011
Estimates of surface actual evapotranspiration (ET) can assist in predicting crop water requirements. An alternative to the traditional crop-coefficient methods are the energy balance models. The objective of this research was to show how surface temperature observations can be used, together with a two-source energy balance model, to determine crop water use throughout the different phenological stages of a crop grown. Radiometric temperatures were collected in a sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i>) field as part of an experimental campaign carried out in Barrax, Spain, during the 2010 summer growing season. Performance of the Simplified Two-Source Energy Balance (STSEB) model was …
Regional flow duration curves for ungauged sites in Sicily
2011
Abstract. Flow duration curves are simple and powerful tools to deal with many hydrological and environmental problems related to water quality assessment, water-use assessment and water allocation. Unfortunately the scarcity of streamflow data enables the use of these instruments only for gauged basins. A regional model is developed here for estimating flow duration curves at ungauged basins in Sicily, Italy. Due to the complex ephemeral behaviour of the examined region, this study distinguishes dry periods, when flows are zero, from wet periods using a three parameters power law to describe the frequency distribution of flows. A large dataset of streamflows has been analysed and the param…
