Zbiorowiska z klasy Utricularietea intermedio-minoris DEN HARTOG et SEGAL 1964 em. PIETSCH 1965 w Słowińskim Parku Narodowym

2017

Zbiorowiska z klasy Utricularietea intermedio-minoris DEN HARTOG et SEGAL 1964 em. PIETSCH 1965 należą do wyspecjalizowanych pod względem ekologicznym fitocenoz, występujących w wodach oligotroficznych oraz dystroficznych na podłożu torfowym. Polsce należą do grupy zbiorowisk bardzo słabo zbadanych. W 2014 r. na terenie Słowińskiego Parku Narodowego zbiorowiska z klasy Utricularietea intermedio-minoris zostały stwierdzone w dystroficznym zbiorniku wodnym koło miejscowości Gać. Są to: Sparganietum minimi (współrzędne geograficzne 54°69’05,65’’ N, 17°50’40,42’’ E) oraz Scorpidio-Utricularietum minoris (współrzędne geograficzne 54°69’06,52’’ N, 17°50’50,29’’ E).

La supervisione: strumento di formazione continua per operatori di Comunità Terapeutiche Assistite.

2012

lavoro nelle organizzazioni sociali si presenta oggi complesso e oltremodo denso di criticità. La trasformazione dei quadri di riferimento normativi, la complessità socio-politica e le difficoltà legate agli specifici interventi incidono profondamente sui gruppi di lavoro che o-perano nel sociale, incrementando la già diffusa necessità di essere supportati. Il seguente lavo-ro, a tal fine, terrà fortemente in considerazione la ricchezza e la pluralità dei bisogni che gli operatori del sociale (cooperative, comunità, ecc.) esprimono, rimandando ad un’idea di “cura del loro sviluppo e della loro funzione” complessa e variegata (Basaglia, 1968). È in questa pro-spettiva che lo strumento della …

Gated communities nel meridione europeo? Alcune evidenze tra Lisbona e Palermo

2011

Dagli anni '90 le discipline sociologiche e geografiche hanno posto particolare attenzione ai processi di securizzazione, fortificazione e privatizzazione dello spazio urbano. La ricerca di dottorato dalla quale questo articolo è estratto ha l'ambizione di estendere il ragionamento ai territori del meridione europeo – generalmente tralasciati dalla letteratura di riferimento – e di contribuire ad una teorizzazione per una pianificazione capace di affrontare tali questioni. La letteratura esistente ha uno dei suoi fulcri nello studio delle gated communities, condomini fortificati sull'esempio di quelli statunitensi emergenti dagli anni '70: in questo pezzo si analizza la questione delle gate…

Whose Narrative is it Anyway? Narratives of Social Innovation in Rural Areas – A Comparative Analysis of Community‐Led Initiatives in Scotland and Sp…

2020

Social innovation is a process in which local communities build social and cultural capital to address challenges and social needs. The diffusion of social innovation requires compelling narratives that encourage people to join them. Using qualitative techniques and a multiple case study methodology, this paper examines the content of narratives of social innovation in rural areas and how actors construct, spread and change them. We propose a narrative analytical framework comprising four key components: problematisation; solutions and goals; actors; and plot, which we apply to three initiatives in Scotland and Spain. Our findings suggest that marginalisation, the natural environment and co…

Bibliometric analysis of publications by South African viticulture and oenology research centres

2012

We analysed the production, impact factor of, and scientific collaboration involved in viticulture and oenology articles associated with South African research centres published in international journals during the period 1990–2009. The articles under scrutiny were obtained from the Science Citation Index database, accessed via the Web of Knowledge platform. The search strategy employed specific viticulture and oenology terms and was restricted to the field ‘topic’. The results showed that 406 articles were published during the review period, with the most number of publications being in the South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture (n = 34), American Journal of Enology and Vit…

New insights into the gut microbiome in loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta stranded on the Mediterranean coast

2019

Caretta caretta is the most common sea turtle species in the Mediterranean Sea. The species is threatened by anthropomorphic activity that causes thousands of deaths and hundreds of strandings along the Mediterranean coast. Stranded turtles are often cared for in rehabilitation centres until they recover or die. The objective of this study was to characterize the gut microbiome of nine sea turtles stranded along the Sicilian coast of the Mediterranean Sea using high-throughput sequencing analysis targeting V3–V4 regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Stool samples were collected from eight specimens hosted in the recovery centre after a few days of hospitalization (under 7) and from one ho…

Wood-inhabiting fungi with tight associations with other species have declined as a response to forest management

2017

Research on mutualistic and antagonistic networks, such as plant-pollinator and host-parasite networks, has shown that species interactions can influence and be influenced by the responses of species to environmental perturbations. Here we examine whether results obtained for directly observable networks generalize to more complex networks in which species interactions cannot be observed directly. As a case study, we consider data on the occurrences of 98 wood-inhabiting fungal species in managed and natural forests. We specifically ask if and how much the positions of wood-inhabiting fungal species within the interaction networks influence their responses to forest management. For this, we…

La educación para la promoción de los derechos humanos de la tercera generación

2008

The paper deals with the ways to promote the third generation human rights through education. It underlines the evolutionary dynamism of human rights and the necessity to promote a culture based on their recognition. Solidarity is analysed as the value which specify this generation of rights. Then the author defends the rights to a healthy environment, to peoples’ development, and to peace, as key components of any international political community or local communities aiming to meet the requirements of human dignity. Finally, he proposes some pedagogical practices to help the students to become conscious and responsible citizens, so they have the competence to ask to individuals and groups…

Multi-scale analysis of the European airspace using network community detection

2014

We show that the European airspace can be represented as a multi-scale traffic network whose nodes are airports, sectors, or navigation points and links are defined and weighted according to the traffic of flights between the nodes. By using a unique database of the air traffic in the European airspace, we investigate the architecture of these networks with a special emphasis on their community structure. We propose that unsupervised network community detection algorithms can be used to monitor the current use of the airspaces and improve it by guiding the design of new ones. Specifically, we compare the performance of three community detection algorithms, also by using a null model which t…
