Time and heat for sexual reproduction: comparing the phenology of Chara hispida of two populations at different latitudes
2017
Abstract Geographical location affects the main ecological factors driving the timing of plants’ life events. In addition, studying phenology is the simplest procedure to track current global warming and its effects on the success and survival of different populations of the same species. Little is known about the effect of water temperature and its corresponding accumulated heat on charophytes’ phenology. We compared differences in water temperature and sexual reproductive phenology of Chara hispida in two ponds of two countries located at different latitudes (Spain and Switzerland) over the same year. We estimated the accumulated heat required to develop from one phenophase to another (un…
Created substrates do not fully mimic natural substrates in restoration: the occurrence of polypores on spruce logs
2014
Many protected areas have been under intensive forest management prior to protection and thus lack natural ecosystem structures and dynamics. Dead wood is a key structure in forests harboring hundreds of threatened species. We investigated the ecological success of dead wood creation as a boreal forest restoration measure. We analysed whether the polypore communities of chain-saw felled and girdled (subsequently fallen) Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) logs differ from naturally formed spruce logs of similar decay stage and size. The study was conducted in Leivonmäki National Park in central Finland 8 years after the restoration measures. The average number of polypore species was highest o…

Englannin kielen käyttö yleisenä yhteisenä kielenä, lingua francana, on lisääntynyt niin maailmalla kuin Suomessakin erityisesti muutaman viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana. Globalisaation myötä muutos on ollut kiivasta myös yritysmaailmassa. Ulkomaalaisen työvoiman käyttö Suomessa, esimerkiksi rakennus- ja metallialalla, on lisääntynyt, minkä johdosta englannin kielen käyttö yhteisenä kielenä metallialan yrityksissä on selvästi kasvanut. Työyhteisöjen lisääntynyt englannin kielen käyttö ei siis koske vain suomalaisia monikansallisia yrityksiä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka aikanaan 1970- ja 1980-luvuilla ammattikoulupohjaisella tai pelkällä peruskoulupohjaisella koulutu…
Design ed eco-sostenibilità: le fibre vegetali in Sicilia tra tradizione ed innovazione
2012
Il dibattito sulla questione ambientale, sorto tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70 del secolo scorso, con la formazione delle prime associazioni ambientaliste, ebbe come nodo centrale il rapporto tra economia e ambiente, nella sempre più evidente necessità di preservare la qualità del patrimonio naturale e nella consapevolezza che, essendo le risorse del pianeta tendenzialmente esauribili, dovessero essere rivisti ed equilibrati i modelli di sviluppo. Gli oggetti, secondo la lezione di Bruno Latour, simboleggiano stili di vita che comprendono al loro interno processi comunicativi e riguardano in ogni caso la sfera dell’informazione, dell’interazione, del ricordo e anche del desiderio. L’omologazione del…
Il design tra sostenibilità e globalizzazione
2008
Si propone una riflessione sul design italiano contemporaneo a partire dalla dicotomia evidente tra la ricerca dell’oggetto di lusso, prevalentemente per l’export, e la consapevolezza ambientale che ha orientamento nell’ultimo decennio la disciplina verso i temi alla sostenibilità, con elaborazioni teoriche-metodologiche, ma anche proposte operative, molto diversificate. La globalizzazione d’altra parte è un fenomeno che ha certamente accentuato i problemi ambientali, de-localizzando le produzioni e introducendo stili di vita e consumi di massa in aree geografiche che prima ne erano escluse. Tuttavia la globalizzazione, in quanto fenomeno a più dimensioni che apporta ‘conseguenze disomogene…
El desplazamiento de la literatura, la literatura del desplazamiento y la problemática de la identidad
2010
La intención de este artículo es la de explorar el desplazamiento como uno de los componentes centrales de la globalización cultural, como agente diseminador y fenómeno diaspórico. Lo que intenta explicar es que la nueva “condición” de la humanidad ??una condición permanente, sugiero?? es el desplazamiento político, económico, militar, que ha permitido el surgimiento de una nueva cultura (diaspórica) llena de nuevos significados. Esta cultura y este desplazamiento son hoy lo mismo y convierten ya para siempre lo heimlich en lo unheimlich. Lo unheimlich se ha convertido en el nuevo “hogar”.

A BRIEF ANALYSIS ON DEVELOPMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS – CONSIDERING THE WORLD’S TOP TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS
2012
Development represents a strategic goal for every country of the world. But it also is a “complicated issue”, given the multitude of (micro and macro economic) approaches that academics and strategists have proposed for development. By this paper we consider competitiveness as measure and indicator of development – based on World Economic Forum researches and findings. This kind of approach allows us to make some (time - and space - based) comparisons – at country level and to identify some key figures – at industry level – of the world’s top transnational corporations (ranked by UNCTAD) that can be valorised by countries (and TNCs as well) on their journey through economic development and …

The first step of the project was the conduction of separated systematic reviews of the characteristics and applicability to critically ill, adult patients outside classical populations at ri…
