Dead but not buried: Hannah Dunstan and the creation of a North-American community of memory
2019
Apresada por un grupo de indios abenakis, el 15 de marzo de 1697, Hannah Dustan presenció el asesinato de su bebé a manos de sus captores y sufrió todo tipo de torturas físicas y psicológicas. Ante el temor a padecer mayores tormentos a su llegada al campamento al que eran conducidos, la mujer asesinó a sus captores y les arrancó las cabelleras. Considerada por muchos como “madre de la historia norteamericana”, Dustan ha sido incluso tildada por otros de asesina de indios. Las múltiples versiones de su experiencia evidencian cómo los mitos nacionales femeninos y sus víctimas nativas se pusieron al servicio de una retórica política que justificó la colonización y el expansionismo norteameric…
Sequence of deformation in the sicilidi units (northern sicilian chain)
2004
The foredeep deposits of Northern Sicily, indicated as Sicilidi units, have undergone different deformations' since Oligocene time. The resulting tectonic Structures, analysed in several outcrops in the Eastern Madonie Mts, are 1 cm-to- 100 m in scale and are similar to the larger structures forming the Sicily belt, allowing for scale extrapolation. Also the overprinting relationships of the minor structures recorded in the so-called Tufiti di Tusa reflect the sequence of fault activation which determined the present-day geometry of the tectonic units, suggesting that the tectonic evolution of the foreland basin developed during the stacking of the Maghrebide fold-and-thrust belt. The overp…
Biogeographic patterns of base-rich fen vegetation across Europe
2014
International audience; Questions: What is the distribution of base-rich fen vegetation and the specia- list species along European biogeographic regions? How do the gradients in spe- cies composition correlate to geography and climate at continental scale? What are the implications of such patterns for the classification of these habitats?Location: Fifteen countries of Central, Western and Northern Europe.Methods: We compiled a vegetation plot database of base-rich fens and related communities including vascular plants and bryophytes. The initial data set with 6943 plots was filtered according to the presence of specialists using discriminant analysis. We used DCA to analyse the correlatio…
Concentrations of metallothionein in the bivalve molluscsAnodonta spp.andUnio spp.from Latvian lakes with different anthropogenic pressure
2013
Concentrations of metallothioneins (MT) were analysed in bivalve molluscs Anodonta spp. and Unio spp. from 6 lakes and watercourses of Latvia with different anthropogenic pressure. The aim of the study was to find the relationship between MT in molluscs and concentrations of heavy metals in sediments. Unio spp. and Anodonta spp. showed no significant differences in the concentrations of MT. High concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Hg, Cu, Zn) were detected in the deepest parts of polluted water bodies, however their concentrations significantly decreased in near shore sediments inhabited by molluscs. Only Zn tends to accumulate in the molluscs, reaching 2-7 times higher concentrations i…
Non-stationary nature of SO2 degassing at Etna’s North-east crater (Italy).
2012
Investigating Etna’s long-term SO2 flux behaviour has led to important conclusions on the structure of the volcano’s magma feeding system, magma production (and degassing) rates, and causes for the excess degassing behaviour. Nonetheless, our knowledge of the short-term (timescales of seconds to a few hours) behaviour of magmatic volatiles (e.g., bubble coalescence, separate ascent and surface bursting of gas-rich bubbles) in the volcano’s upper feeding conduit system is still fragmentary, and based on indirect evidences (petrologic-textural data, observation of geophysical signals , physical modelling and laboratory experiments). In the past, direct gas flux measurements at Etna have been ta…
Happiness is... a good transcription : reconsidering the Beatles sheet music publications
2006
Hankkiessaan Beatles-nuotinnoksen käsiinsä ei kuluttajalla välttämättä ole ollenkaan käsitystä siitä, minkä tasoinen kulloinenkin nuotinnos on, eli kuinka luotettava se on verrattuna alkuperäiseen lähteeseen eli levyyn. Musiikin käyttäjälle olisi varmasti paljon hyötyä ja iloa siitä, jos nuotit vastaisivat paremmin levyjä – valitettavasti vain julkaistut nuotinnokset ovat suurelta osin puutteellisia ja jättäneet paljon toivomisen varaa. Myös maailmalla erittäin paljon myydyn ja tunnetun ”The Beatles Complete Scoresin” transkriptiot ovat monelta osin kaukana siitä mitä levyillä todellisuudessa on. Nuottien kustantaminen on yhä edelleenkin suurta bisnestä, mutta sitä ei ole kuitenkaan jostain…

The contribution of the pre-existing structures in mountain belt evolution: the example of the negative inversion in the Northen Sicily
2004
Syn-orogenic extension has been recognised in Northern Sicily. Mesoscopic analysis has been carried out in three key areas, where folded-and-thrust Mesozoic-to-Tertiary rocks crop-out. The three examples are inherent to Portions Of tectonic Units Which occupy progressively more internal positions in the Sicilian chain from west to east. The extensional deformation is mainly represented by low-angle normal faults and shear bands. A common kinematic process seems to affect the other sector of the chain during the extension and is represented by a generalized negative inversion of previous layer-parallel shear bands and detachments related to the thrusting. The extensional deformation occurred…
Notes on Shore Flies (Diptera: Ephydridae) from Finland and north-western Russia
2015
The recent checklist of the Ephydridae of Finland by Zatwarnicki and Kahanpää (2014) mentioned 13 ephydrid species as new for Finland without further details. This paper presents detailed records for those species and a few other species of interest. Four species are recorded for the first time from Russia. Trimerina indistincta Krivosheina, 2004 is herein considered as a new junior synonym of Trimerina microchaeta Hendel, 1932, syn. nov.
Benthic‐pelagic coupling and trophic relationships in northern Baltic Sea food webs
2020
Understanding marine ecosystem structure and functioning is crucial in supporting sustainable management of natural resources and monitoring the health of marine ecosystems. The current study utilized stable isotope (SI) mixing models and trophic position models to examine energy flow, trophic relationships, and benthic‐pelagic coupling between food web components. Roughly 1900 samples from different trophic levels in the food web, collected during 2001–2010 from four northern and central sub‐basins of the Baltic Sea, were analyzed for SI ratios of carbon and nitrogen. Trophic structure of the food webs among the sub‐basins was consistent, but there were differences between the proportions …
