Infondate le questioni di legittimità del nuovo comma 1 bis dell’art. 438 c.p.p.: la Corte sigla la conformità costituzionale della preclusione del r…
2021
La Corte costituzionale affronta il delicato tema dei rapporti tra giudizio abbreviato ed ergastolo, di recente riformato dalla legge n. 33 del 2019. Assecondando le istanze securitarie provenienti dalla collettività, il legislatore del 2019, con il nuovo comma 1 bis dell'art. 438 c.p.p., ha stabilito che è inibita la possibilità di accedere al rito premiale per gli imputati di reati puniti con la pena perpetua. Sollevate diverse questioni di legittimità costituzionale, la Corte le ha respinte, siglando la conformità a Costituzione della nuova disciplina. L'Autrice ripercorre il ragionamento dei giudici costituzionali, rilevando come, sulle questioni attinenti al merito della novum legislat…
Etica come filosofia prima
2018
The author discusses the reading of Sophocles Antigone by Giuseppe Nicolaci and this becomes the opportunity to address the issue of the birth of ethics. Antigone is thus summoned as a partner of a question that Nicolaci considers starting from Kant and Lacan.
Etna. Miti e riti della "montagna" sacra
2019
L’Etna con la sua immensa mole fumante, la sua incessante attività vulcanica, il potere distruttivo e generativo delle sue lave, i suoi mutevoli paesaggi, ha costituito nei millenni un riferimento costante dell’immaginario isolano, offrendosi come inesauribile sorgente di affabulazione mitopoietica, teatro epico e lirico di vita e di morte, soggetto e scenario di riti, di miti, di leggende molteplici. Colosso dall’indole incostante e dalla potenza terrifica, vorace distruttore di tuguri e palazzi costruiti della sua stessa pietra, di campi e di piantagioni prima nutriti dalla sua stessa lava, l’Etna contiene e rappresenta, materialmente e simbolicamente, gli opposti: l’alto e il basso, la t…
Nitric oxide radicals are emitted by wasp eggs to kill mold fungi
2019
Detrimental microbes caused the evolution of a great diversity of antimicrobial defenses in plants and animals. Insects developing underground seem particularly threatened. Here we show that the eggs of a solitary digger wasp, the European beewolf Philanthus triangulum, emit large amounts of gaseous nitric oxide (NO⋅) to protect themselves and their provisions, paralyzed honeybees, against mold fungi. We provide evidence that a NO-synthase (NOS) is involved in the generation of the extraordinary concentrations of nitrogen radicals in brood cells (~1500 ppm NO⋅ and its oxidation product NO2⋅). Sequencing of the beewolf NOS gene revealed no conspicuous differences to related species. However,…

Effects of Nest and Colony Features on Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) Reproductive Success
2012
The Lesser Kestrel is a facultative colonial raptor mostly breeding in man-made structures. During 2009-2011 we checked the fate of 545 nests found in 18 colonies located in south-eastern Sicily. We determined the reproductive success of breeding pairs by analysing the survival time of each egg to hatching ( n = 2,495) and each nestling to fledging ( n = 1,849) with the linear hazard model of survival times. We determined whether egg and nestling survival differed between years with a Gehan–Wilcoxon test. By Cox regressions, we related the survival times with nest and colony features. Egg and nestling survival times showed a strong annual effect. The two reproductive stages of the Lesser K…
Environmental suitability model for the lanner falcon Falco biarmicus feldeggii: planning, study and monitoring the Sicilian population
2017
The identification of suitable areas, by spatially explicit distribution models, is crucial for conservation of threatened species as the lanner falcon Falco biarmicus feldeggii. Monitoring and collecting data on lanner falcon during years has proven to be essential for better defining the areas of species environmental suitability. Recent research shows that breeding performances of this species are strongly influenced by bioclimatic factors, especially monthly temperature and rainfall, or linked to landscape morphology, such as the slope of territories. These environmental parameters combined with species productivity (number of fledged juveniles per checked pair) of geo-referenced breedi…

Phenotypic analysis of adults and eggs of Fasciola hepatica by computer image analysis system
2005
AbstractKnowledge of the morphological phenotypes of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica (Trematoda: Digenea) is analysed. The influence of parasite age on its dimensions, the adult fluke growth model, variation in a biometric variable versus time, and variation in a biometric variable versus another biometric variable (allometric model) are revised. The most useful allometric model appears to be (y2m]#x2212;y2)/y2=c [(y1m−y1)/y1]b, where y1=body area or body length, y2=one of the measurements analysed, y1m, y2m=maximum values towards which y1 and y2, respectively, tend, and c, b=constants. A method based on material standardization, the measurement proposal and allometric analysis is detaile…
The wild boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) as secondary reservoir of Fasciola hepatica in Galicia (NW Spain)
2013
Fasciolosis is an emerging or reemerging human and animal disease in numerous parts of the world. In Galicia (NW, Spain), the wild boar (Sus scrofa) is the main wild ungulate in terms of abundance and distribution. Its population has continuously increased over the past decades and this population growth has been accompanied by a reduction of habitats, so that the wild boar populations encroach more and more frequently onto agricultural lands. The increase of the interface area between livestock and the wild boars frequently involves the sharing of pastures and water sources, so that the circulation of common pathogens is propitiated. This is the first report concerning the importance of th…
