Ginger and Turmeric Essential Oils for Weed Control and Food Crop Protection
2019
Ginger and turmeric are two food ingredients that are in high demand due to their flavor and positive effects on health. The biological properties of these spices are closely related to the aromatic compounds they contain. The chemical compositions of their essential oils and their in vitro phytotoxic activity against weeds (Portulaca oleracea, Lolium multiflorum, Echinochloa crus-galli, Cortaderia selloana, and Nicotiana glauca) and food crops (tomato, cucumber, and rice) were studied. Forty-one compounds, accounting for a relative peak area of 87.7% and 94.6% of turmeric and ginger essential oils, respectively, were identified by Gas Chromatography&ndash
Oltre discriminazione e razzismo. Verso una competenza professionale transculturale
2010
Le migrazioni rappresentano un'importante sfida professionale per il mondo dei servizi, in particolare per quelli sociali e alla persona. In primo luogo perché ne mettono spesso in difficoltà l'organizzazione (nuove domande, nuovi costi, contrazione delle risorse)e acuiscono i problemi già esistenti di accesso.In secondo luogo perché richiedono un cambiamento ai professionisti stessi, che si trovano nella necessità di rivedere i principi del loro operato e contestualizzarne l'applicazione in un mutato scenario di prassi professionale. L'essenza del percorso di aiuto è il processo relazionale che parte e si sviluppa come "incontro tra persone": a maggior ragione in ambito transculturale si r…
Cultural Aspect of Regional Patriotism Fostered in the Nineteenth-Century Literature of Autochthon Upper Silesians = Kulturowe oblicze regionalnego p…
2019
This text is part of the author’s research on the literary culture of the nineteenth-century Upper Silesia. The author shows that at the forefront of modern Europe (at the beginning of industrialization and urbanization of the continent) the autochthon writers of Upper Silesia undertook actions aimed at fostering cultural awareness amongst their compatriots, who were considered to belong to a national minority, in order to instil patriotic feelings in them. In the current post-colonial discourse their struggles are recognized as the “voice of the periphery”. Striving to achieve civic maturity in their Polish ecumene, these writers demonstrated considerable knowledge of their own Polish root…

2020
Th e Opolskie Voivodeship is the smallest Polish region in terms of territory and population.

Essential oil crops for sustainable agriculture - A review
2009
Multifunctionality and diversification of farming systems, integration of agricultural practices both inter se and with the non-agricultural productive systems operating on the territory, biodiversity safeguards, and reduction in off-farm inputs, are key factors for all modern development strategies in agricultural areas. Such issues are valid worldwide, but are especially true in areas in which the cultivation of the more widespread and “classical” crops is constrained by factors of varying degree and importance. In Mediterranean areas, where many environmental and economic factors often reduce rural areas to marginal conditions, the search for new crop opportunities has become one of the …
