Database Species-Area Relationships in Palaearctic Grasslands

2012

The Database Species-Area Relationships in Palaearctic Grasslands (GIVD ID EU-00-003) is an initiative of the European Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and primarily functions as repository for all data sampled during the EDGG Research Expeditions. During these expeditions two types of highly standardised sampling of dry grassland vegetation in the Palaearctic realm are carried out: (i) nested-plot sampling on squares of 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 m2; (ii) additional normal releves of 10-m2 plots. For all plot sizes, the terricolous vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens are recorded that are superficially present (shoot presence). Additionally, for all 10-m2 plots species cover i…

Evaluation of Soil Organic Carbon Storage of Atillo in the Ecuadorian Andean Wetlands

2022

Identifying the SOC levels and revealing the potential of SOC storage of ecosystems difficult to sample and study are necessary contributions to the understanding of the global reserves of SOC. Wetlands store large amounts of SOC within their soils. They have an important role in water regulation and have great biological and floristic diversity. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the SOC stock in Atillo micro-watershed in the Ecuadorian Andean wetlands at two soil depths (0–30 cm and 30–60 cm below ground) and to assess the importance of the ecosystem and its conservation in favor of reducing emissions due to degradation processes. For that, we sampled the study zone with 10…

Un’isoglossa indoeuropea per mantis? in G. Rocca (a cura di), Dialetti, dialettismi, generi letterari e funzioni sociali. Atti del V Convegno Interna…

L'articolo presenta la ricostruzione fonologica in diacronia degli esiti della sonante nasale indoeuropea nel greco antico. In particolare, attraverso un'analisi tipologico-comparativa, che pure attinge ai dati provenienti dalla ricerca archeologica, storica ed epigrafica, viene dimostrato come la presunta irregolarità dell'esito "an" in luogo di "a" davanti a consonante in alcuni tra i più antichi termini del lessico greco (tra cui mantis) sia in realtà da attribuirsi ad un esito originario "an", che accomunerebbe il greco antico alla maggior parte delle altre lingue sorelle indoeuropee antiche, dall'ittita al frigio, dall'antico irlandese all'armeno, dal bretone al celtiberico, ecc. Già l…

Use of peat-based sorbents for removal of arsenic compounds

2013

Abstract It is important to apply sorbent materials for purification of water from arsenic contamination due to serious arsenic pollution worldwide. We have developed new sorbents based on natural materials that provide a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative. For the first time, peat modified with iron compounds and iron humates were tested for sorption of arsenic compounds. The highest sorption capacity was found in peat modified with iron compounds. We have found that sorption of different arsenic speciation forms was strongly dependent on solution pH, reaction time and temperature. Calculations of the sorption process using thermodynamic parameters indicate the spontaneity of s…

Do humans dream of prophetic robots?

2020

Social robotics is a technology that, as its definition varies, encompasses conceptually diverse fields materializing in innovations from simple chatbots to sophisticated androids talking about the peaceful coexistence of humans and robots. The advances in social robotics have led to promising applications in education, work, entertainment, and even religion. Yet a measure of fear and confusion about the capabilities of contemporary and future robots exists, with one of the reasons being the presentation of some contemporary robots as being more advanced than they really are.

Lasten ja vanhusten toimijuus : diskurssianalyysi neljän puolueen eduskuntavaaliohjelmista

2021

Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin, miten lapsia ja vanhuksia kuvataan toimijuuden näkökulmasta neljän suurimman puolueen eduskuntavaaliohjelmissa. Tutkimusmenetelmänä hyödynnettiin kriittistä diskurssianalyysiä. Aineistosta oli tunnistettavissa kaksi toimijuuden diskurssia: passiivisen ja aktiivisen toimijuuden diskurssit, joissa molemmissa puhutaan lasten ja vanhusten toimijuudesta erityisesti palvelujärjestelmän kautta. Passiivisen toimijuuden diskurssissa erilaiset yhteiskunnalliset toimijat näyttäytyivät aktiivisina toimijoina lasten ja vanhusten sijaan. Aktiivisen toimijuuden puhe kietoutui palvelujärjestelmään, joka kuvautui keskeiseksi toimijuutta tuottavaksi tekijäksi. Lisäksi lasten toim…

Constructing social Europe through European cultural heritage

2021

The political and economic crises of the recent decades as well as the new changes brought on by globalization and digitalization have contributed to exacerbate social inequalities and injustice and revealed different social realities in Europe. The EU increasingly deals with social issues in its cultural and heritage policy. In this article, we explore the construction of this social dimension and advance the concept of 'social Europe' by exploring its cultural aspect based on our analysis of a recent EU heritage action, the European Heritage Label. In this action, the narrations of the European past and the attempts to foster common cultural heritage in Europe function as building blocks …
