Meristic character counts and incidence of skeletal anomalies in the wild Diplodus puntazzo (Cetti, 1777) of an area of the south-eastern Mediterrane…
2006
The sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo, Cetti 1777) is a species rarely found in coastal areas of Sicily, but is important in Mediterranean aquaculture. In order to detect the number of meristic characters and the main types of body deformation, 588 specimens of sharpsnout seabream were collected from a coastal zone of south-east Sicily (Licata, AG—Italy). Different sized classes were examined and the relationship between size and the number of meristic characters (number of fin rays) was found. The number of vertebrae, anal fin hard rays and dorsal fin hard rays was constant and did not vary with size. Seventeen types of skeletal and fin anomalies were observed, but no grave anomalies …
Radon Anomalies at Volcano Etna: Identification methods and correlation with geodynamic events
2006
Matrici geometriche nelle absidi salentine del XVI secolo delle chiese di San Nicola a Cursi e di San Michele Arcangelo a Minervino di Lecce.
2015
This paper offers a critical interpretation of the geometric and proportional matrices applied to the construction of the 16th-century apses of the churches of San Nicola in Cursi and San Michele Arcangelo in Minervino di Lecce in the Salento peninsula. It also intends to assess possible links between the cases examined and other contemporary edifices in an attempt to identify possible common rules. The study of the geometric matrices used for the construction of these edifices was carried out by means of laser scanning and the creation of digital models to discretize the morphological configuration.
PMRs Utilizing Non–Pressure-Driven Membrane Techniques
2018
In the present chapter it is shown how photocatalytic membrane reactors utilizing membrane processes, which are not pressure driven, can exploit various mechanisms to obtain a substantial improvement of the process. The fundamentals of this particular type of membrane reactors are reviewed including the effects of the most important parameters and the methods and rules of coupling photocatalysis and membrane separation. The survey of the studies on photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs) utilizing pervaporation, dialysis, membrane contactors and membrane distillation offers the opportunity of discussing the advantages with respect to PMRs adopting pressure driven membrane processes. Indeed,…
Comparative Public Law Notes: Methodological Profiles: Legal Families - Forms of Government in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, and the Un…
2023
The work intends to analyse some classic themes of comparative public law such as methodological profiles and legal families and then focus on the characteristics of forms of government. In particular, the analysis, with a comparative perspective, intends to focus on the characteristics of the parliamentary form of government in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain and then on the French semi-presidential and US presidential forms of government. The aim is to provide, during teaching assignments, a starting point for further study. The work is accompanied by a bibliography on the various survey profiles, to facilitate the retrieval of doctrine on the subject.
La Sicilia negli Orsi di Dino Buzzati e Lorenzo Mattotti
2022
Nella fiaba illustrata di Dino Buzzati La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia (1945) e nella sua trasposizione filmica ad opera di Lorenzo Mattotti (2019) l’ambientazione siciliana è determinante. In entrambi i casi la Sicilia è un’isola con un grande vulcano – trasfigurata in un ambiente fantastico o riscritta secondo alcuni stereotipi – che i due autori utilizzano con accezioni diverse nella costituzione dell’ecosistema delle loro narrazioni. Soltanto attraverso una comparazione tra le due opere sarà possibile distinguere la rappresentazione delle due Sicilie che vengono raccontate con un intervallo di circa settanta anni. Se non si considera la storia degli Orsi soltanto una fiaba per…

Gillles Del Pappas, autore di romanzi noir e racconti, scrive utilizzando l'argot e la parlata marsigliese da qui le difficoltà di trasporre la ricchezza del suo linguaggio in un'altra lingua.
Promuovere le relazioni tra famiglie: perché?
2017
The paper aims at underlining some pedagogical reasons to promote the relations among families. Actually, in our late modernity society, that is in life contexts marked by growing individualism, utilitarian and contingent reasons are immediately evident. Nevertheless, other reasons properly linked to education and to fully human flourishing - of persons, families, communities, and societies – can be detected and highlighted. This analysis also lead us to a more accurate consideration of the value of care for our time more accurate consideration of the value of care for our time, not only on a private level but above all in the public one, as it is capable of generating new relational goods,…
Whose Turn Is It? Problems of Reconciling Family and Work in Dual-Career Couples.
2015
The work-family life conflict affects various aspects of dual-career families. Parenthood and the work-family life balance lead to an overload of responsibility and disparity at the expense of women, on a private as well as on a social level. In our research, we examined WIF (work to family) and FIW (family to work) conflicts in a sample of 483 dual-career couples. The main results underline an increase in familiar duties concerning child birth and childcare, as associated with the traditional work-family life balance strategy. The data seems to reflect differences in traditional roles between public-male- breadwinner and private-female-homemaker.
How Important Are Genes to Achieve Longevity?
2022
Several studies on the genetics of longevity have been reviewed in this paper. The results show that, despite efforts and new technologies, only two genes, APOE and FOXO3A, involved in the protection of cardiovascular diseases, have been shown to be associated with longevity in nearly all studies. This happens because the genetic determinants of longevity are dynamic and depend on the environmental history of a given population. In fact, population-specific genes are thought to play a greater role in the attainment of longevity than those shared between different populations. Hence, it is not surprising that GWAS replicated associations of common variants with longevity have been few, if an…
