Pioniere. Abitare territori in contrazione

2022

Partendo da una difficoltà che è quella di dare un nome a dimensioni che non hanno chiara definizione, il testo introduce il lavoro di indagine e di progetto sviluppato durante e in seguito al Laboratorio del Cammino 2022. In questa occasione si sono attraversati i territori in contrazione delle province di Biella e Torino e lo sguardo è stato rivolto ai/alle pionieri/e (umani e non) capaci di abitare un territorio alle volte ostile ma ricco di nuove possibilità. Starting from the effort needed to name realities that have no clear definition, the contribution introduces the field research and project work developed during and after the "Laboratorio del Cammino", 2022. On this occasion, terr…

L’habitat mobile à l’épreuve du droit. L’approche belge

2022

L’habitat mobile connaît un nouvel essor aujourd’hui. Pourtant, le droit peine à s’adapter, encore trop rivé à la figure traditionnelle du logement sédentaire et en dur. Résultat : les habitants mobiles affrontent de nombreux obstacles juridiques à l’heure actuelle, qu’il s’agisse du régime locatif applicable à leur bien, de l’installation sur un terrain, de l’inscription dans les registres de la population de la commune ou encore de la protection du logement familial (quand il ne s’agit pas, plus en amont, d’un déficit de reconnaissance normative). Émanant souvent des pouvoirs locaux, ces difficultés contrarient en tous cas (voire empêchent) l’expression de ce mode de vie plus itinérant. À…

Connections between microhabitat factors and dimensions of brown trout (Salmo trutta) redds

2017

This study is part of a process of habitat restoration and management of Finnish and Swedish rivers. This study was conducted to analyse detailed and generalised data regarding microhabitat factors and dimensions of spawning redd of brown trout (salmo trutta). The objectives of this study were to analyse connections between redd dimensions, connections between redd length and microhabitat factors and to analyse the variability of redd length and microhabitat factors among catchments in order to understand spawning habitat selectivity of brown trout (salmo trutta). The study shows that the redd dimensions are positively and strongly correlated. Redd length is weakly correlated to microhabita…

Validating Habitual and Goal-Directed Decision-Making Performance Online in Healthy Older Adults

2021

Everyday decision-making is supported by a dual-system of control comprised of parallel goal-directed and habitual systems. Over the past decade, the two-stage Markov decision task has become popularized for its ability to dissociate between goal-directed and habitual decision-making. While a handful of studies have implemented decision-making tasks online, only one study has validated the task by comparing in-person and web-based performance on the two-stage task in children and young adults. To date, no study has validated the dissociation of goal-directed and habitual behaviors in older adults online. Here, we implemented and validated a web-based version of the two-stage Markov task usi…

Embodied Spirituality

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Archive for the Psychology of Religion. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/157361212X645340 The main findings on embodied spirituality within the Toronto Blessing are presented in this article. The aim of this study is to interpret ecstatic religious experiences from a psychological point of view. The theoretical framework is interdisciplinary, using theories from ego-psychology, social psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, and ritual theory. Regarding the latter notion, Thomas Csordas has developed cultural phenomenology, which is a culturally constructed way of understanding a situation through using bodi…

Las trayectorias habitacionales de los residentes suburbanos

2017

The suburban housing is a privileged urban form by French households for several decades. Nevertheless, the suburban residential trajectories are diversified and involve a population which is not less heterogeneous. From the literature and our field work, this contribution returns on the interests of residential trajectories approach and highlights the factors which connect the set of the inhabitants who, at one time or another of their trajectory, opted for this type of individual housing. Leaning on some discriminating variables (social, occupational, economic, life cycle…), a typology of suburban will come to conclude this article.

Current agri-environmental policies dismiss varied perceptions and discourses on management of traditional rural biotopes

2017

Traditional rural biotopes (TRBs) are threatened habitats that host significant biodiversity and several ecosystem services, and depend on active management such as low-intensity grazing. The current study explores private landowners’ decision-making on TRB management and abandonment within a social-ecological system framework. We provide insight into supporting resilience of TRB systems in the face of agricultural modernization. Using a mixed methods approach with content analysis and Q analysis, we demonstrate that TRB management fosters cultural, biological, aesthetic, and utilitarian values. These are reflected in different ways through conservationist's, profit-oriented farmer's, lands…

Lake size and fish diversity determine resource use and trophic position of a top predator in high-latitude lakes

2015

Prey preference of top predators and energy flow across habitat boundaries are of fundamental importance for structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, as they may have strong effects on production, species diversity, and food-web stability. In lakes, littoral and pelagic food-web compartments are typically coupled and controlled by generalist fish top predators. However, the extent and determinants of such coupling remains a topical area of ecological research and is largely unknown in oligotrophic high-latitude lakes. We analyzed food-web structure and resource use by a generalist top predator, the Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.), in 17 oligotrophic subarctic lakes…

Tree species influences diversity of ground-dwelling insects in afforested fields

2015

Abstract Impaired natural ecosystems, such as agricultural lands, are restored toward original or other target stage. Because the long agricultural history has changed the physical, chemical and biological features of the soil, afforested fields can harbor novel species assemblages and interactions. Our overall aim was to quantify the diversity of ground beetles and ants in early successional afforested fields. In a large scale field experiment, we compared plots that had been afforested 25 years ago by planting monocultures of birch, pine or spruce trees. A total of 4080 carabid individuals representing 41 species, and 131,933 ant individuals representing 15 species were recorded. Both the…
