Strawberry fields forever: that is, how many grams of plastics are used to grow a strawberry?

2019

In the agricultural sector, plastic is one of the most important tools for improving the managerial and economic performance of companies. The horticultural production under protected cultivation, in particular, makes abundant use of plastic polymers. Polymers that mostly turn into waste. This study aims to identify the main characteristics and factors affecting the decision of farmers operating in the strawberry production sector to recycle the plastic material used on-farm and quantify the plastic used in relation to the different types of materials used. Data come from one of the Italian most specialized areas in the strawberry sector, Marsala. Main findings show that behind a typical 25…

Switching spatial scale reveals dominance-dependent social foraging tactics in a wild primate

2017

When foraging in a social group, individuals are faced with the choice of sampling their environment directly or exploiting the discoveries of others. The evolutionary dynamics of this trade-off have been explored mathematically through the producer-scrounger game, which has highlighted socially exploitative behaviours as a major potential cost of group living. However, our understanding of the tight interplay that can exist between social dominance and scrounging behaviour is limited. To date, only two theoretical studies have explored this relationship systematically, demonstrating that because scrounging requires joining a competitor at a resource, it should become exclusive to high-rank…

Bodźce pozacenowe w kontraktach rolnych. Powiązania umowne między grupami producentów rolnych a ich pierwszymi odbiorcami w Polsce

2018

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja stosowanych bodźców pozacenowych w umowach rolnych, które mogłyby potencjalnie skłaniać agenta do działania zgodnego z interesem kontraktora. Zastosowanie tego typu zachęt może potencjalnie minimalizować problem pokusy nadużycia ze strony agenta jeszcze w trakcie jej obowiązywania, tj. w trakcie produkcji rolnej. Dla realizacji założonego celu wykorzystano badanie własne z użyciem ankiety. Badanie empiryczne przeprowadzono wśród grup producentów rolnych działających na rynku drobiu, a przedmiotem badań były kontrakty rolne podpisane w 2014 roku. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań zidentyfikowano bodźce pozacenowe, które mają pomóc monitorować i łagodzić pr…

¿Quién está buscando su mejor versión? Coaching y psicología deportiva en el proceso de terapeutización de (y desde) el golf

2020

This article asks about the expansion of psychological, therapeutic and self-enhancement ethos through the networks and devices that configures middle and upper-middle classes, and about the ways in which this process is singled out starting from the encounter between coaching and psychology paradigms with golf fans, in contemporary Argentina. The empirical materials that support the analysis have been ethnographically produced from the interaction with golf players and coaches.

Riconfigurare i territori metroplitani. Forme di urbanizzazione e fenomeni di pressione insediativa sui sistemi di interesse naturale in Sicilia

2018

The consumption of the soil due to urbanization it is a phenomena already for many years under observations, but of which only the scientific environment has noticed the elevated environmental impact progress. From a disciplinary point of view, is possible to identify a line of research focusing on the analysis and identification of new morphologies of urbanization and on the interaction among different settlement patterns coexisting in a specific context. This reading complements with the scientific production about the forms of settlement pressure on environmental systems, producing change and deterioration on natural ecosystems and loss of biodiversity. A necessary reference for this lin…

tale percentuale se considerata per i comuni costieri supera il 75% del territorio urbanizzato. Nel caso dei sistemi naturali i fenomeni di pressione umana pesano su una situazione già critica data da una distribuzione puntuale delle aree protette. Il livello di frammentazione e isolamento di queste aree rischia di peggiorare. In Sicilia l'assenza di strumenti di valutazione ambientale e lo scollamento tra pianificazione urbana e regionale e pianificazione settoriale hanno determinato un inadeguato livello di controllo della pressione umana sui sistemi ambientali. Riguardo a questo quadro generale il presente documento presenta un chiarimento e una riformulazione del rapporto di reciprocità tra ambiente edificato e territorio aperto con l'obiettivo di individuare possibili strategie per gestire i fenomeni di dispersione urbana nel contesto metropolitano obiettivo principale delle politiche territoriali europee e di molte politiche nazionali degli Stati membri.Settore ICAR/20 - Tecnica E Pianificazione UrbanisticaIl consumo del suolo a causa dell'urbanizzazione è un fenomeno già da molti anni sotto osservazione ma di cui solo l'ambiente scientifico ha notato l'elevato impatto ambientale. Da un punto di vista disciplinare è possibile individuare una linea di ricerca incentrata sull'analisi e l'identificazione di nuove morfologie dell'urbanizzazione e sull'interazione tra i diversi modelli insediativi che coesistono in un contesto specifico. Questa lettura si integra con la produzione scientifica sulle forme di pressione insediativa sui sistemi ambientali producendo cambiamento e deterioramento degli ecosistemi naturali e perdita di biodiversità. Un riferimento necessario per questa linea sono gli studi sui processi di frammentazione (lineare concentrato misto) e quelli sulla segregazione degli habitat naturali e seminaturali (protetti o non protetti). Tali riferimenti si combinano con le analisi condotte sul processo di sostituzione dei sistemi naturali con l'ecomosaico artificiale. Lo stato dell'urbanizzazione in Sicilia è interessato dal fenomeno della dispersione urbana che a partire dagli anni Settanta ha contribuito fortemente a plasmare il territorio regionale sia dal punto di vista fisico che funzionale. Tale fenomeno ha interessato principalmente le aree marginali intorno alle aree metropolitane dove i terreni consumati dagli insediamenti a bassa densità abitativa rappresentano il 42% dell'intero territorio urbanizzatoSettore ICAR/21 - Urbanistica

Violência, evasão e exclusão na educação superior

The present text focuses on a relationship between higher education, institutional and symbolic violence and exclusion, practicing as a challenge based on reflections on the existence of evasion in Brazilian university. Ignoring the educational institution as a direct responsible for these things, this text considers that a logic in University organization and operation helps to enlarge inequalities that provide the mechanisms of evasion; at the same time, it presents itself as a space of reference and a struggle against social inequalities and violence.

REVERSE ELECTRODIALYSIS FOR POWER PRODUCTION FROM OILFIELD WASTEWATERS

2022

Produced waters (PWs) are wastewaters generated by crude-oil extraction processes. They can present very different characteristics depending on the field location and production process. Dispersed oil, dissolved organics and solid particles are usually the main components. Moreover, PWs can contain a very high quantity of dissolved salts 1, with a total dissolved solid (TDS) concentration up to 300 g/L. Each barrel of extracted oil requires the simultaneous extraction of 3 barrels of produced water2 on average. PWs are often discharged into the sea, or sent in evaporation ponds thus leading to a dramatic environment impact3. Reinjection in the extraction well is currently the most common an…
