Conservation tillage in a semiarid Mediterranean environment: results of 20 years of research
2014
Conservation tillage techniques are becoming increasingly popular worldwide as they have the potential to generate environmental, agronomic, and economic benefits. In Mediterranean areas, studies performed on the effects of conservation tillage [in comparison with the conventional tillage technique (CT)] on grain yield of cereal crops have reported contradictory results as well as considerable year-to-year variation, demonstrating how the impact of different soil tillage techniques on crop productivity is strongly site-specific. The present paper summarises the main results from a set of experiments carried out in Sicily during the last 20 years in which we compared no tillage (NT) to CT in…
Impact of tillage system on arbuscular mycorrhiza fungal communities in the soil under Mediterranean conditions.
2012
A more diverse arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungal community should be more versatile and resilient to variation in environmental conditions over space and time. To evaluate the effect of no-till and conventional tillage systems, AM fungal diversity was assessed as part of a long term field experiment by sequencing of DNA, extracted from soil, that encoded the large ribosomal sub-unit and was obtained by nested-PCR. In comparison with no-till, conventional tillage decreased AM fungal diversity by 40%. Differences between treatments in the frequency of the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) present in soil, confirm that AM fungi are differently vulnerable to soil disturbance.
The role of public biological resource centers in providing a basic infrastructure for microbial research
2009
Public collections of microorganisms have been established since the late 19th century, and currently 573 service collections are registered at the World Data Center for Microorganisms (www.wdcm.org). All together, they hold more than 1.5 million microorganisms. By implementing guidelines compiled by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), many public service collections evolve into professional ex situ repositories of biodiversity and distribution nodes for known, validated and precisely identified microbial resources and associated information to legitimate end-users. These Biological Resource Centers (BRCs) may be the preferred mechanism for the appropriate exp…
Los convenios internacionales y la promoción internacional del turismo sostenible
2020
Tourism has become one of the world’s most thriving industries and is a major source of environmental degradation. Therefore, since the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the international community has adopted several international conventions at the sub-regional and global levels aimed at promoting the sustainable development of tourism. The latest manifestation of this common concern has been the adoption in September 2019 of the Framework Convention on Tourism Ethics, which aims to give new impetus to international and domestic efforts towards responsible, sustainable and accessible tourism. El turismo se ha convertido actualmente en una de las industrias más…
L'assistenza umanitaria delle ONG sotto inchiesta
2022
Lo scorso giugno, l’Agenzia dell’Unione europea per i diritti fondamentali (FRA) ha pubblicato il consueto aggiornamento semestrale sulle operazioni di Search and Rescue (SAR) nel Mediterraneo. Il documento evidenza le difficoltà di condurre le operazioni di salvataggio da parte delle imbarcazioni delle ONG, molte delle quali sono state (e continuano ad essere) sottoposte a procedimenti giudiziari e fermi amministrativi nelle giurisdizioni degli Stati membri dell’UE. Nel quadro del contrasto al traffico di migranti, infatti, è ormai impellente una riforma del Facilitator Package quantomeno nel senso di vietare agli Stati membri di criminalizzare l’attività di assistenza umanitaria delle ONG…
A DYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE MINOR’S RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION: THE LESSON FROM THE CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD (CRC) AND SOME PRACTICAL …
2019
This article aims to investigate the legal status of the minor with particular reference to the profiles of autonomy and determination. Specifically, it analyses the most significant provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (hereinafter CRC) regarding the participation and the role of the minor in the society and the recognition - in terms of legally binding decisions related to his/her life - of his/her decision-taking powers.
Le Clarisse di Palermo nei secoli XIV e XV
2016
Nel Trecento a Palermo l’ordine di Santa Chiara fu sostenuto economicamente dal ceto cavalleresco e nobiliare. Tra il 1330 e nel 1341 il conte Matteo Sclafani fondò un monastero di Clarisse, nel quartiere Cassaro, nel palazzo ereditato dallo zio Matteo di Termini, maestro giustiziere. Le badesse appartenevano a ricche famiglie del ceto nobiliare (Angela Chiaromonte) e produttivo (Agata de Garofalo). Nella prima metà del Quattrocento il convento fu retto da Margherita de Mecta che tra il 1451 e il 1454, ormai vecchia e malata, si scontrò con Costanza de Milina per il possesso della carica di badessa. La lotta fu lunga e lacerante non solo per il capitolo monastico, ma per l’intera città. Pap…
