Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased. The current study aims to assess the differences in fear of COVID-19, anxiety, neuroticism, and general self-efficacy between university students who practiced PA during the second wave of lockdown and those who did not practice any PA. Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …

Pathways for the amplification of agroecology in African sustainable urban agriculture
2020
A growing awareness that highly intensified agricultural systems have made a substantial worldwide contribution to the worsening of the resilience capacity of natural ecosystems has, over the last twenty years, brought general attention to agroecological management models. This aspect is even more evident in industrial agriculture, which is based on the use of multiple chemical products derived from non-natural synthesis. In more developed countries, a new idea of ecology linked to agricultural production has been increasingly developed and, for this reason, there has been a greater diffusion of differentiated agricultural models taking into consideration the environmental impact of product…
Water and Energy Saving in Urban Water Systems: The ALADIN Project
2016
The ALADIN project was aimed at contributing to environmental and energy sustainability of the urban water system by means of a decision support tool able to allow an evaluation of the energy impact related to each different macro-sectors of urban water cycle highlighting the main energy flows and to assess the system energy balance and identify the possible energy-efficient solutions. Moreover the tool suggests the most efficient actions in reducing water losses. In the present paper the main features of the developed tool are presented. (C) 2016 The Authors.

Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas uzraudzības un pārbaudes mehānismi: Irānas (2002 – 2015) gadījuma analīze
2020
Maģistra darbs “Kodolieroču neizplatīšanas uzraudzības un pārbaudes mehānismi: Irānas (2002 – 2015) gadījuma analīze” analizē Irānas kodolprogrammas uzraudzību laika posmā no 2002. līdz 2015. gadam. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, kāpēc Irānas kodolprogrammas statuss tiek regulāri apšaubīts. Darba teorētisko ietvaru veido kodolieroču neizplatīšanas režīma galveno komponentu analīze. Šī gadījuma analīzē tiek izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētniecības metodes – oficiālo ziņojumu, dokumentu un līgumu kontentanalīze, kā arī tiek veikta akadēmisko pētījumu izpēte. Pētījuma rezultātā tiek izdarīti secinājumi, kā iesaistītās puses kodolieroču neizplatīšanas uzraudzības un pārbaudes ietvaros reaģē uz tām s…
From Analysis to Formulation of Strategies for Farm Advisory Services (Case Study: Valencia – Spain). an Application through Swot and Qspm Matrix
2019
Abstract European agriculture should meet new increasing internal and contextual challenges. For example, the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in 2003 introduced the cross-compliance, among other novelties, as compulsory for farmers. To better meet this and other requirements, Member States had to set up the so-called Farm Advisory System, operational across the European Union in 2007. From a sample of actors involved in the provision of farm advisory services in the region of Valencia (Spain), the present study aimed to identify the most appropriate strategies to implement such services. SWOT method has been applied to examine the internal and external environment. Based on this di…
SST Comparison of AVHRR and MODIS Time Series in the Western Mediterranean Sea
2020
La temperatura de la superficie del mar (SST) es un parámetro clave para comprender los procesos atmosféricos y oceánicos. Desde finales de la década de 1980, las imágenes de satélite infrarrojas se han utilizado para complementar los registros in situ para estudiar la variabilidad temporal y espacial de la SST. El radiómetro avanzado de muy alta resolución (AVHRR) del satélite de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica (NOAA) fue el primer sensor utilizado con éxito para calcular la SST después del desarrollo y validación del algoritmo de corrección atmosférica conocido como 'ventana dividida'. Más recientemente, el espectrorradiómetro de imágenes de resolución MODERADA (MODIS) a…
Environmental remediation using nanomaterial as adsorbents for emerging micropollutants
2023
Water shortage and scarcity are issues of global concern. Water pollution caused by organic micropollutants further aggravates the problem, by rendering an already scarce resource unfit for human consumption. The existing conventional wastewater treatment methods and infrastructure were not designed to eliminate micropollutants. Therefore, their inefficiencies call for modern methods for removing emerging micropollutant residues such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs), personal care products and pesticides. The use of nanomaterials, for the abatement of micropollutants in water is gaining traction in recent years, due to the abundance of susta…
The habitat monitoring under article 17 of the 92/43/eec Directive in Italy: the contribution of vegetation science
2016
The 4th National Report ex Art. 17 of the 92/43/EEC Directive in Italy (period 2013-2018) will try to fill a number of gaps still affecting the former versions of the Italian Reports, where territorial data were still missing for large parts of the country and the assessment was mostly based on the use of the expert opinion. Similar inconsistencies also emerged in other European countries (State of nature in the EU, EEA 2015). In order to reach this aim, a nationally shared protocol for monitoring the vegetation-based Annex I Habitats is currently under development. The most prominent issues addressed by the ongoing project are: i) fixing standardized, updated and scientifically grounded me…
Tracking the Finnish social and health care reform : issue arena analysis in a major online news medium
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on monitoroida Sote-uudistukseen liittyvää keskustelua hs.fi online-sanomalehdessä. Teema-areenat toimivat tämän tutkimuksen teoreettisena viitekehyksenä. Malli viestinnästä teema-areenoilla käsitteellistää keskustelun monitoroinnin ongelmaan liittyviin (issue-related) aiheisiin, toimijoihin, vuorovaikutuksen paikkoihin sekä keskustelun kulkuun. Malli on uusi ja tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena pyrkiä soveltamaan sitä uudenlaiseen kontekstiin: online-uutismediaan. Teema-areenoita on perinteisesti tarkasteltu käyttäjien luomien sisältöjen näkökulmasta, mutta tämän tutkimuksen kohteena on osittain kontrolloitu ympäristö median ns. portinvartijaroolin kautta. Online-uutisa…
