LaDy: Software for assessing local landscape diversity profiles of raster land cover maps using geographic windows
2003
Landscape ecology starts from the assumption that diversity and spatial arrangement of ecosystem mosaics have ecological implications and tries to understand the interactions between diversity and structure of large spatially heterogeneous areas and their ecological functions. These assumptions imply effective use of earth observation techniques and geographic information systems, enabling a global view of the landscape mosaics. In this paper, a software, LaDy (Landscape Diversity Software), for computing Re´nyi’s local landscape diversity profile on raster land cover maps is presented. LaDy is based on the use of Merchant’s adaptive geographic window, which is designed to operate on a neig…
Povertà e vita. Mendicità e filosofia nel mondo greco
2015
Nel v-iv secolo a. C., la lingua e la cultura greca collocano, come si evince dal Pluto di Aristofane, la povertà in una posizione mediana fra ricchezza e mendicità. Essa si distingue dai due estremi della scala soltanto da un punto di vista quantitativo e costituisce un utile incentivo alla vita associata e al progresso delle technai. Nei discorsi tucididei di Pericle, l’idea è espressa con chiarezza: le technai, da esercitare con moderazione e in vista del bene comune, concorrono a fare uscire il cittadino ateniese dalla povertà e dall’oscurità sociale, promuovendone la partecipazione politica, in un’ottica di reciprocità orizzontale. L’eccezione più vistosa a questo paradigma che mette i…
Rethinking Samir Amin’s legacy and the case for a political organization of the global justice movement
2019
Juego argues that the new Internationale’s “primary organizational function should be the global coordination of actions of progressive grassroots movements from country to country.” He calls for a ‘learning organization,’ where the new Internationale supports “a continuous dialogue between bottom-up and top-down approaches to decision-making.” He sees it as “[a]kin to a global coordinating council” meaning that it works to integrate and synthesize the “varying initiatives, campaigns, and mass actions at all geographical levels of membership” while remaining mindful of the “dialectics between reform and revolution.” The new Internationale must, moreover, be “grounded on a pragmatic understa…
“Tra il sì ed il no siam di parer contrario”: la satira alle prese col fascismo
2016
Stavolta la rubrica unisce gli argomenti di vari nostri numeri, tratta di umorismo, ma anche di censura e di politica: perché riguarda un campo dell’umorismo, la satira, che ha ruoli molto diversi, che va dalla polemica sbrigliata al futile intrattenimento, ma che, se non è del tutto compiacente, è comunque temuta e osteggiata dal potere, e vista dai regimi totalitari come una delle peggiori minacce. Lo dimostra il destino di uno dei più brillanti settimanali umoristici italiani, “Il Travaso delle idee”, tra il 1924 e il 1925 sempre più controllato e censurato dalla dittatura fascista. Ripubblichiamo tre articoli di quel periodo, non firmati (secondo una prassi allora frequente), che derido…
Navegando hacia Italia. El Reino de Cerdeña en el escenario político resultante de los tratados de Utrecht – Rastatt
2014
En 1713 finalizaba la administración de Carlos VI, ejercida desde Barcelona; por ello las disposiciones de gobierno, que habían llegado a la isla desde la capital catalana, dejaban de hacerlo. Con la institución en Viena, en 1714, del Consejo de España, los referentes territoriales y políticos del reino sardo serán sobre todo: Milán o Nápoles; con el espacio italiano ampliará sus lazos, sustituyendo aquellos que durante siglos había mantenido con los territorios ibéricos. Paralelamente Cerdeña pasaba a ser moneda de cambio en la búsqueda de un nuevo equilibrio territorial y político. La sombra imperial la mantuvo a salvo en Utrecht. Sin embargo la ruptura de ese equilibrio por parte de Feli…
'Love comes first, and it is ahead of any different political partisanism': How political polarizations compare to other forms of discrimination in B…
2021
Background: Affective polarization and stigma toward individuals with schizophrenia and toward immigrants in Argentina are not new despite its importance and dissemination. However, no research has been conducted taking into consideration political partisanship and attitudes toward these groups. Aims: Political polarization and attitudes toward socialization across party lines are studied in conjunction with attitudes toward immigrants and toward individuals with schizophrenia. Method: Individuals from Buenos Aires ( n = 712) were surveyed for their political partisanship and their attitudes toward Peruvian and Bolivian immigrants, people with schizophrenia and partisans from the opposing p…
Media and Newspaper Representations
2006
In recent years there has been a large expansion of European scholarship on the representation of men and masculinities in a wide variety of media, including film, television, video, magazines, painting, fine art, music, dance, Internet, photography and advertising (for example, Middleton, 1992; Pedersen et al., 1996; Edwards, 1997; Nixon, 1997; Sterr, 1997; Penttila, 1999; Jokinen, 2000). However, relatively little attention has been given to the mundane medium of daily newspapers. When studying men, the daily press appears to have been frequently taken-for-granted, unlike, say, Hollywood film. Newspapers are literally everyday phenomena; their very ordinariness may mean that they are not …

Geographically representative scholarship and internationalization in school and educational psychology: A bibliometric analysis of eight journals fr…
2018
Abstract Although the discipline of school and educational psychology is arguably international (e.g., relevant research and practice is evident in more than 80 countries), there has been limited research examining the international scholarship published in school and educational psychology journals. Such an assessment is important because it provides one important metric for better understanding the field's level of internationalization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate every article (N = 4456) published from 2002 to 2016 across eight school and educational psychology journals that publish international scholarship. Each article's authorship and participant data were coded and rep…
Reflection 2008: The State of Science, Religion and Consciousness
2008
2008 is a year in which the world’s economical, financial and even political systems are going through unprecedented turmoil and earth-shaking transformations. Yet, it seems that nothing has changed in Science except that many scientists are sadly loosing there jobs and/or funding. Religion also seems to be stagnant with the exceptions that various hastened prophecies of 2012 are flourishing and charitable contributions are in drastic declines. Under these historical, uncertain, sad but hopeful circumstances, it is appropriate and even urgent that we further reflect on the state of Science and Religion. It is also appropriate that we reflect on the state of consciousness research because ou…
