Fault Lines: how hidden fractures still threaten the World Economy
2017
¿Por qué sucede la crisis económica de 2008? ¿fue provocada por los Estados Unidos como una estrategia expansionista o una simple falla del sistema capitalista? En perspectiva, el mundo de las relaciones productivas impacta sobre el social y viceversa. No es extraño observar el interés de las ciencias sociales por el estudio del riesgo en los últimos años. Para los especialistas, el riesgo se corresponde con la probabilidad de sufrir algún daño a futuro...
Spatial Bayesian Modeling Applied to the Surveys of Xylella fastidiosa in Alicante (Spain) and Apulia (Italy)
2020
The plant-pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa was first reported in Europe in 2013, in the province of Lecce, Italy, where extensive areas were affected by the olive quick decline syndrome, caused by the subsp. pauca. In Alicante, Spain, almond leaf scorch, caused by X. fastidiosa subsp. multiplex, was detected in 2017. The effects of climatic and spatial factors on the geographic distribution of X. fastidiosa in these two infested regions in Europe were studied. The presence/absence data of X. fastidiosa in the official surveys were analyzed using Bayesian hierarchical models through the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) methodology. Climatic covariates were obtained from …
CARTOGRAPHY OF AGROCLIMATIC INDICES AT MESOSCALE LEVEL: METHODOLOGY AND CASE STUDY OF BORDEAUX WINEGROWING AREA. Implications on vine development and…
2007
Climate spatial variability knowledge is essential in agronomy and forestry, in order to characterize production potential or to assess pest development risks. In viticulture, climate mainly governs grapevine development rate and berry ripening. The aim of the present work is to characterise climate spatial variability at mesoscale level, using several spatialization techniques at daily time step, applied to climate variables and agroclimatic indices, in order to evaluate its consequences on grapevine development and grape ripening. This study was led in the Bordeaux winegrowing region. Six variables were studied: minimum and maximum temperatures, solar radiation, reference evapotranspirati…
Assessing environmental noise exposure: does the size of the neighbourhood matter?
2013
International audience; In environmental epidemiology, studies rely on the quantification of subject'sexposures in a surface defined as the subject exposure area. For outdoor exposure, this area is often considered as the subject's neighbourhood. But, depending on the authors, the size and the nature of this neighbourhood differs, making difficult to compare results. In order to study the impact of the sampling surface on the noise exposure values affected to a subject, a high definition environmental noise model has been builton a middle-sized French city. Outdoor neighbourhood noise indices were computed at 10,394 residential buildings, using eight different sizes of buffers defined by di…
Novel bibliographic maps to guide research units
2014
National audience; Publication is a major issue for research evaluation. As a consequence research units need strategies to improve their publications. Bibliometry and cartography are new tools to study the publications of research teams. In particular bibliometry give an overall picture and good criteria to choose a strategy for publishing and to guide the priorities of research. Here we studied the publications of the INRA Agroécologie research unit, Dijon. This unit has 107 scientists and professors, equivalent 80 full-time positions for research, and published 125 original articles in 2012. We present several examples of maps and measurements obtained using Web of science, Excel, Sphinx…
Un finage dans la longue durée: Saint-Martin-du-Mont (Côte-d’Or)
2010
On évalue ici les effets de la transmission des structures et formes agraires dans la longue durée. Nous postulons que, depuis la protohistoire, la forme des parcellaires, celle de la voirie ou de l’habitat n’ont jamais été fondamentalement remises en cause. L’organisation actuelle du finage de la commune de Saint-Martin-du-Mont (Bourgogne) est un héritage, probablement une construction médiévale et moderne adossée à une potentialité antique. Les opérations foncières successives se sont coulées dans le moule planimétrique préexistant.
Les migrations des basketteurs professionnels en Europe
2010
En Europe, les migrations des joueurs professionnels sont commandées par l’existence de deux centres de «production» et de «consommation», les États-Unis et l’Europe, et d’une immense périphérie. Comme pour le football, américanisation et mondialisation des recrutements sont partielles et les recrutements obéissent à des critères financiers, réglementaires, sportifs et géo-culturels.
(Un)framing Lampedusa: Regimes of Visibility and the Politics of Affect in Italian Media Representations
2017
The 3rd of October 2013 more than 300 migrants died after a boat sank off the coasts of Lampedusa. This probably was the most dramatic shipwreck ever happened in the Mediterranean, and certainly the one which attracted the most media attention in Italy and elsewhere. Since at least 1992 the Mediterranean has become the unstable ground where the dominant policies of regulated mobility and discontinuous surveillance are continuously challenged by bodies which struggle for their fundamental right to move. This conflict between global regimes of disciplined mobility (Philo 2014) and singular forms of embodied resistance (Agamben 1990) involves also the field of representation and its forcible e…
Telerilevamento e GIS per la valutazione e il monitoraggio delle isole di calore in ambiente urbano
2017
The techniques of spatial analysis and Remote Sensing represent an useful tool for the knowledge and the study of the Urban Heat Island phenomenon (English acronym UHI). In this study, among the different causes that lead to the generation of the event, those regarding physical features of the surface and the presence of different land use/cover such as: the high cover of urban areas and the lack of green areas have been examined. The Remote Sensing techniques allow to create maps of the land use/cover, then, in order to estimate the different in temperature due to the distance to the vegetation, the temperature of the bodies already tested have been compared with a thermal map. In detail t…
Imágenes, texto y prácticas en femenino. La mujer y la cerámica del Tossal de Sant Miquel (Llíria, València)
2011
A través de la consideración global de iconografía, epigrafía y contextos de las cerámicas con decoración compleja y letreros del Tossal de Sant Miquel (Llíria, València) (250-150 a.C.), reflexionamos sobre el papel de la mujer en la génesis de este fenómeno y en los actos que le dieron sentido.In this paper we approach women’s role in Iberian Iron Age socio-cultural processes and dynamics, focusing specially in cultual matters. Our analysis develops a holistic perspective of iconographic, epigraphic and archaeological data contexts with decorated and written Iberian pottery from the Tossal de Sant Miquel (Llíria, València), as this archaeological record is an outstanding evidence of comple…
