Branding4Resilience: Explorative and Collaborative Approaches for Inner Territories
2022
This article analyzes inner and marginal territories in four Italian peripheral contexts by first discussing some of the results and future steps of the “B4R Branding4Resilience” research project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Research from 2020 to 2023. The overall research is based on three phases: (1) the exploration phase to analyze socio-economic data and territorial dynamics; (2) the co-design phase involving local actors to develop ideas for a selected pilot case; (3) the co-visioning phase where a future transformative perspective for the whole area was shared with the institutions. The article focuses on phase 1 and presents some first results achieved by the application of a m…

PAESAGGI IN TRASFORMAZIONE: LA RIGENERAZIONE DEL BACINO MINERARIO DEL NORD PAS DE CALAIS L’iscrizione Unesco e la costruzione della strategia generale
2017
L’attività mineraria, al pari di un evento sismico, rappresenta per il territorio una ferita difficile da rimarginare. I luoghi coinvolti assistono al radicale mutamento dei loro paesaggi, alla trasformazione della loro geografia, alla rottura degli equilibri che per secoli avevano sostenuto la loro economia e società. Questa condizione si aggrava ancor di più a seguito della dismissione delle attività, quando il sistema economico della monocoltura mineraria non costituisce più una risorsa e al suolo rimangono i segni di ciò che era stata l’industria estrattiva. I resti fisici dell’attività industriale iniziano, però, dopo alcuni anni, a esercitare un senso di fascinazione sulla stessa soci…
Influence of citrates nanoparticles on morphological traits of bacterial cells pseudomonas syringae pv. atrofaciens
2020
Electron microscope investigations have revealed disintegration of the cell wall of Pseudomonas syringae pv. atrofaciens and subsequent killing of bacterial cells after application of 1% solutions of the citrates of Ag-Cu nanoparticles, the complex Co-Cu-Zn-Fe-Mn-Mo-Mg (Avatar-1) and iodine-selenium. In field conditions, it was revealed that pre-sowing treatment of wheat seeds with the aforementioned 1% solutions significantly inhibited the development of basal glume rot in cereals with artificial infection of Pseudomonas syringae рv. аtrofaciens. Consequently, reduction of the typical symptoms of basal glume rot of cereals and the percentage of isolated cells of Pseudomonas syringae рv. аt…
Identification of phytopathogenic bacteria in maize seeds in Ukraine
2018
The main bacterial diseases of maize: bacterial wilt of maize (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii), goss’s bacterial wilt (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis), seed rot-seedling blight of maize (Bacillus subtilis), bacterial spot of maize (Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae), bacterial leaf spot of maize (Pantoea agglomerans) and bacterial stalk rot of maize caused by several causative agents, were described. The causative agents of these diseases are often stored and transmitted with seeds, so seed analysis for the presence of phytopathogenic bacteria is an important step in the pathogen control system. For analysis, the corn seeds that were grown in the Poltava and Kiev regions …
Piękno w poezji chińskiej a poeci polscy
2018
The aim of the article is to present differences between the understanding of the concept of beauty in the Eastern and Western cultures. The author analyses creativity of the Polish poets who translated selected Chinese texts. She analyses also poetry that undertakes themes and motifs characteristic for Chinese poetry and connected with landscape, motifs of moon and grass. Representation of the elements of nature in the creativity of the Chinese classics is compared with works of Tadeusz Różewicz, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Julian Tuwim and Halina Poświatowska. Beauty, however differently defined in various cultures, often assumes similar forms.
Pratiche di conoscenza e fruizione collettiva per un’accessibilità fisica e culturale del patrimonio monumentale
2022
I-Access, progetto Interreg Italia-Malta, si interroga sui temi dell’accessibilità fisica e culturale nei centri storici delle città di Palermo e La Valletta, accomunati da storie parallele di uomini, monumenti, spazi urbani. E lo fa con la costituzione di un gruppo formato da esperti di restauro architettonico e di design della comunicazione visiva, facendo dialogare i due ambiti disciplinari che condividono metodologie e strumenti di lavoro. In tal modo i dati materici e storiografici raccolti dai primi vengono tradotti in configurazioni visibili, leggibili, ordinate, in cui la nuova struttura narrativa consente la corretta accessibilità culturale del monumento e della sua storia. Insieme…

Social impacts of biodiversity offsetting: A review
2022
Biodiversity offsetting is the widely studied last step of the mitigation hierarchy. Despite numerous studies and the methodological development completed for biodiversity calculations, the human aspect remains unsolved. Biodiversity conservation is typically governed at national or state levels, but the harm caused to biodiversity as well as people occurs locally. In biodiversity offsetting, biodiversity values can be relocated far from the original area, but relocating the values people hold regarding their nearby nature may not be possible. Acknowledging the local people's hopes and values may further complicate biodiversity offsetting, therefore it emphasises even more the need to avoid…
Tree invasions in Italian forests
2022
Many forest tree species have been moved outside their native range to provide goods and services elsewhere, but some of them have become invasive, causing negative impacts on biodiversity and human activities. The assessment and knowledge on the degree and scale to which forest ecosystems are invaded by non-native trees is of paramount importance for tailored policies and strategies aiming at forest conservation. By analyzing main databases and literature and applying a four-level scale of invasion (not currently invaded and with low invasibility; potentially invasible; moderately invaded; massively invaded), we assessed the current and potential occurrence of twenty-five invasive non-nati…
