What does happen when an insect pest follows its host plant and viceversa?
2015
Invasive species are usually well known but only make up a small percentage of the European’s alien plants and insects. The ways these exotic species interact with our natural and cultural heritage are very complex and even some species considered invasive had and could have positive aspects on some European landscape and culture. A close look at the complicated relationship between non-native and native plants and insects in the Mediterranean areas reveals some unexpected twists in the story. Here are some cases of when aliens can threaten our cultural heritage or being part of it
The Intangible Cultural Landscape of the Banda Primitiva de Llíria
2021
AbstractThe Banda Primitiva de Llíria is presented as an open heritage resource, which has been built on the uses, values and symbols assigned to it by the local town of Llíria and its inhabitants over the musical society’s two centuries of history. This work focuses on analysing how this musical phenomenon contributes to positioning creativity and cultural industries at the centre of local development, reinforcing the identity elements of Llíria and the Valencian Region. It intends to support the safeguarding, respect and awareness of one of the oldest civic bands in Spain, providing greater visibility and creating positive recognition of the fundamental importance of this form of intangib…
From the banks of Upper Tigris River to the Zagros Highlands. The Tübingen Eastern Ḫabur Archaeological Survey. Trial season 2013
2016
After decades of strife and unrest, during which Northern Iraq remained closed to the outside world, a new era of international scientific enterprise has begun in this region thanks to the recent democratic and civil upturn and its subsequent economic resurgence. In the last few years, together with the restoration and refurbishment of historical monuments, there has also been a spread of new archaeological undertakings in the form of surveys and excavations, the quality and quantity of which is fully shown in the present volume. A Tübingen University research project was initiated in the northernmost part of Iraqi-Kurdistan, in the province of Dohuk. The research area is located at the foo…
Pesticide occurrence in the waters of Júcar River, Spain from different farming landscapes.
2017
A combined methodology to identify and quantify farming chemicals in the entire Júcar River basin has been developed. The procedure consisted of the application of environmental forensic criteria associating laboratory analytical samples, cartographic analysis using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and synthetic statistical analysis. Sampling involved the collection of 15 samples in surface waters distributed alongside the Júcar River and its two main tributaries (Cabriel and Magro Rivers). The analytical procedure involves generic sample extraction and selective determination of up to 50 target pesticides by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Geogra…
What future for decommissioned historic irrigation canals? Crafting new identities in the Lower Ter (Spain)
2020
Historic irrigation canals are valuable socioecological systems capable of delivering several ecological and cultural services. However, ecological modernisation initiatives are leaving decommissioned ditches in limbo. A case study strategy is used to analyse the history of a decommissioned 700-year-old canal network in northeastern Spain and the unexpected intervention of several stakeholders who have attempted to redefine the former canals through new uses. The study relies on the analysis of documents and eight semistructured interviews with key stakeholders. We argue that this case reflects a policy failure in the application of multifunctionality, integrative planning and social partic…
Amman. Il progetto di architettura tra modernità e tradizione
2019
Amman è luogo denso di storia e avido di modernità, confine entropico di culture in cui giordani, iracheni, palestinesi, siriani, insieme esprimono l’anima composita della città. L’odierna struttura insediativa è il frutto dell’espansione realizzata sui resti della Philadelphia romana dall’emiro Abdullah intorno al 1921. In quest’area l’Abdali Urban Regeneretion Project, una grande scommessa di trasformazione urbana avviata sin dal 2013, prevede la costruzione di grattacieli, edifici multifunzionali e commerciali, parchi, con interventi pubblici e privati. Qui, sono sorte negli ultimi anni due importanti architetture: l’Al-Hussein Cultural Center e la Greater Amman Municipality. Proprio in …

Why do university students choose tourism degrees? Interests analysis and employ-ment expectations for students from Universitat de València

Las expectativas del alumnado que determinan la elección de una titulación en Turismo condicionan sus conductas durante y después de sus estudios.
