Recombination profiles between Tomato yellow leaf curl virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus in laboratory and field conditions: evolution…
2012
Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus have co-existed in Italian tomato crops since 2002 and have reached equilibrium, with plants hosting molecules of both species plus their recombinants being the most frequent case. Recombination events are studied in field samples, as well as in experimental co-infections, when recombinants were detected as early as 45 days following inoculation. In both conditions, recombination breakpoints were essentially absent in regions corresponding to ORFs V2, CP and C4, whereas density was highest in the 3′-terminal portion of ORF C3, next to the region where the two transcription units co-terminate. The vast majority of brea…
I Piani Strategici per il Turismo
2022
From many points of view, the 30-year period from 1990 to 2020 was a period of great change that led, as a consequence, to a continuous reshaping of public policies for the tourism sector and related industries.The Tourism Startegic Plan for Italy, is based on a great heritage of ideas and proposals, elaborated with a process of wide sharing, which has not exhausted its function with approval but will continue after the Covid and in the years to come. The Plan, in fact, was conceived as a constantly evolving "living" organism. Moreover, it adopts a strategic vision that, starting from the full awareness of the opportunities of the tourist development of our country, identifies four objectiv…
Attractiveness and Effectiveness of Competing Tourist Areas: A Study on Italian Provinces
2005
Tourism has become a wide-spread phenomenon in our age and a focal point of economic policy of many regions competing for the favours of tourists. Consequently, competitiveness of tourist destinations has received increasing interest in economic research with a view to the identification of the user attractiveness of a tourist area. The present paper is inspired by the conceptual competitiveness model developed by Crouch and Ritchie and presents an attempt to assess the relative attractiveness of tourist destinations on the basis of aggregate tourist strength of competing destinations. The main novelty of the present work is formed by the micro-based foundation of tourism attractiveness of …
TRADITIONAL RURAL LANDSCAPES IN ITALY BETWEEN CONSERVATION AND TOURIST DEVELOPMENT
2010
Il lavoro intende proporre riflessioni sulle aree agricole emarginate con un approccio olistico, assecondando la recente ripresa del concetto di paesaggio e in modo che sia il pensiero scientifico sia l''attività di pianificazione possano essere combinati in un unico spazio di azione. Questo deve essere articolato in livelli differenti: dall''analisi delle caratteristiche pedologiche e litologiche allo studio delle tecniche agricole e idrauliche, passando dalle vocazioni socio-culturali e dalle tradizioni di produzione radicate. Il nostro tempo ha bisogno di mediatori competenti che possano avviare una vera transizione tra un mondo e l''altro. E ''il tempo della ricerca ed è il tempo di un …
Geochemical investigation of trace metal pollutants in the Oreto river, Palermo (Italy)
2022
In the past, three main rivers, named Kemonia, Papireto and Oreto, were present in the plain of Palermo, in northwestern Sicily. Today, only the latter one has been preserved from the unregulated urban expansion. Fortunately, over the last ten years, attention and consciousness towardsthe Oreto river and its delicate ecosystem has grown considerably, also thanks to many associations and citizens’ committees involved in protecting, preserving and valorising the precious area. In this context, our study is focused on a hydrogeochemical investigation of its surface water quality. The Oreto river flows for about 20 km within a catchment area of about 130 km2. Over the past three years, numerous…
Nomenclatural notes on Fabaceae described from Sicily
2021
A note about some taxa in Anthyllis and Trifolium (Fabaceae) described from Sicily is presented. Concerning Trifolium, we provide the lectotypification of the name T. pratense var. semipurpureum (≡ T. pratense subsp. semipurpureum), using a specimen preserved at PAL (Todaro’s collection). Concerning the Lojacono-Pojero’s name Vulneraria heterophylla var. parvula, it is lectotypified by a specimen at G. A neotype at NAP is proposed for the Gussone’s name Vulneraria heterophylla var. albiflora. As this latter name is applied to a taxon accepted here at specific rank, a new combination is validated. On the contrary, A. heterophylla var. parvula is considered as a new heterotypic synonym of Ant…
Risk exposure to vibration and noise in the use of agricultural track-laying tractors.
2016
Human exposure to mechanical vibration may represent a significant risk factor for exposed workers in the agricultural sector. Also, noise in agriculture is one of the risk factors to be taken into account in the evaluation of workers’ health and safety. One of the major sources of discomfort for the workers operating a tractors is the noise to which they are exposed during work. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of exposure to whole-body vibration for the operator driving track-laying tractors in vineyard orchard and the noise level. The experimental tests were performed with six different track-laying tractors coupled with the same rototilling machine. The results showed that…

Immigrant prisoners in Italy. Cultural mediation to reduce social isolation and increase migrant prisoner well-being?
2022
Purpose This study aims to highlight how easy it is for immigrants to break Italian law because of the country’s inadequate cultural and linguistic mediation service. Insufficiencies in this service also have a negative impact on both the psychological and physical health of migrant prisoners. Furthermore, Italian is used in legal disputes and prison, and reference is made to Italian culture, preventing migrants from understanding their position regarding the law. Design/methodology/approach This report concerns the psychological discomfort of migrant incarcerated individuals within Italian prisons due to national laws in force. Consideration is also given to the negative impact on the phy…
Harry Clifton’s On the Spine of Italy: A Year in the Abbruzzi: A Travel-Book or a Political Account?
2008
The article examines a text written by contemporary Irish writer Harry Clifton with a special focus on the peculiarities of its genre: is it a real travel account of his stay in Italy or some narrative written with the aim of reflecting upon Italy during the years of the fall of the Berlin wall, upon religion and Italian life?
