Variation in egg size and offspring phenotype among and within seven Arctic charr morphs.
2022
Maternal effects have the potential to alter early developmental processes of offspring and contribute to adaptive diversification. Egg size is a major contributor to offspring phenotype, which can influence developmental trajectories and potential resource use. However, to what extent intraspecific variation in egg size facilitates evolution of resource polymorphism is poorly understood. We studied multiple resource morphs of Icelandic Arctic charr, ranging from an anadromous morph—with a phenotype similar to the proposed ancestral phenotype—to sympatric morphs that vary in their degree of phenotypic divergence from the ancestral anadromous morph. We characterized variation in egg size and…
Religijny język ekologiczny encykliki Laudato si' papieża Franciszka
2017
Announced in 2005, the encyclical of Pope Francis: Laudato Si: On Care for our Common Home, is a dramatic appeal to change the attitude towards the environment and to take action to save it. The analysis was carried out from the viewpoint of ecolinguistics, and the criterion of the so-called environmental adequacy. At the center of attention was the problem of anthropocentrism, which for ecolinguists is the main “contamination ” of the language and the source of improper relations between man and nature. The encyclical is, however, a text functioning within Christianity, which is particularly blamed for the preservation of anthropocentric vision of the world within the culture. The analysis…
Search for magnetically-induced signatures in the arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory
2020
We search for signals of magnetically-induced effects in the arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory. We apply two different methods. One is a search for sets of events that show a correlation between their arrival direction and the inverse of their energy, which would be expected if they come from the same point-like source, they have the same electric charge and their deflection is relatively small and coherent. We refer to these sets of events as "multiplets". The second method, called "thrust", is a principal axis analysis aimed to detect the elongated patterns in a region of interest. We study the sensitivity of both methods using a …

Introduzione a: Il prisma delle passioni. Prospettive per un'antropologia delle passioni
2021
Il volume esplora il tema delle emozioni rivalutandolo in senso antropologico. A partire da approcci disciplinari diversi, come in un prisma che fa convergere l’attenzione sul fenomeno osservato rispettandone le molteplici sfaccettature, emerge dai saggi raccolti come la sfera emotiva rappresenti una chiave d’accesso privilegiata per la comprensione della natura umana.

La Natura come soggetto di diritto: l'approccio ecuadoriano
2022
All legal systems by now must confront the issue of environmental protection. The scope of this paper is to analyse the Ecuadorian approach, considering that it is the only legal system which, so far, has constitutionalized the rights of Nature, thus allowing a change in the status of Nature, from object to subject of law, overcoming the traditional approach of Western environmental law. The paper also aims to show how the theme of the rights of Nature offers a valuable opportunity for intercultural dialogue, and how the Ecuadorian experience represents, in this sense, a perfect mix between Western legal notions, such as damage, protection, or representation, and the ancestral knowledge of …
A geomorphological approach for enhancing environmental management and conservation of landforms as protected nature objects in the Upper Daugava spi…
2015
<p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-GB">This paper describes the application of geomorphological approach for environmental management and conservation of landforms. Specifically, we discuss the contribution of geomorphological field survey and adapted matrix methodology (in combination with understanding of geology) to identification, study and evaluation of those abiotic nature elements which represent geological and geomorphological heritage. We describe a case study carried out in that part of the protected landscape area “Augšdaugava” which encompasses the Upper Daugava spillway valley. The study programme reported in this paper was realized to perform inventory of…
Neochamanismos en España. Retorno a las creencias ancestrales de la Madre Tierra
2017
Entre las múltiples y variadas nuevas formas de espiritualidad contemporánea podemos destacar el chamanismo, más concretamente los neochamanismos como uno de los nuevos desarrollos espirituales a partir de la recuperación de nuestra relación ancestral con la Naturaleza y que busca en los orígenes, el acceso a una religión primigenia conservada por algunos pueblos indígenas. En este artículo tratamos de reflexionar acerca de la llegada y la extensión de dicho fenómeno a España en el marco del nuevo mercado espiritual, de esa constelación místico-esotérica que vive Occidente como una forma de explicación válida ante los déficits de sentido modernos y posmodernos que nos acechan y que nos hace…
