Impact of climate change on the timing of strawberry phenological processes in the Baltic States
2016
Climate change has been shown to impact aspects of agriculture and phenology. This study aims to quantify changes in the timing of garden strawberry blooms and harvests in the Baltic States using Regional Climate Models (RCMs). First, parameters for a strawberry phenology model based on the growing degree day (GDD) methodology were determined. Growing degree days were calculated using a modified sine wave method that estimates the diurnal temperature cycle from the daily maximum and minimum temperature. Model parameters include the base temperature and the required cumulative GDD sum, estimated from phenological and meteorological observations in Latvia for the years 2010–2013 via iterative…
Regional development of Romania – a premise for better project financing
2018
The article approaches important aspects regarding the regional development process in Romania in direct correlation with the European Union views and directives in this field. This paper argues that regionalization implies a new reorganization of Romania in view of a balanced development and to increase the absorption of European Funds, which consequently engages regional development, the development of local communities and the decentralization of public administration. Furthermore, in this paper we present the consistency issue concerning the request for territorial- administrative development in Romania, as it originates from the strategic documents, namely the "National Plan of Governa…
THE IMPORTANCE OF REGIONALIZATION IN IMPROVING THE PROCESS OF
2015
The interest to study the impact of regionalization on the absorption of EU funds is a major and timely subject, since on the one hand Member States should reform their institutional architecture and management tools to enable efficient cooperation with European structures, and on the other hand there is huge opportunity for economic and social development funded from European resources whose effective access can only be made based on an appropriate organizational framework. The regionalization process in Romania has experienced delays entailing a disadvantage in terms of the progress in the national socio-economic development. In the present study we aimed to identify the main weaknesses i…

Territorio y creación de empresas de economía social: Estudio a nivel de las Comunidades Autónomas de España
2016
En el contexto de destruccion de empleo y empresas de todos los tamanos y ti-pos, surge el debate sobre la posible existencia de un patron geografico en el surgimiento de nuevas empresas. En dicho contexto, las empresas de economia social resurgen como una alternativa de organizacion de la actividad economica mas eficaz y eficiente socialmente.Este trabajo analiza comparativamente —formas tradicionales versus empresas de economia social— la evolucion territorial en ese surgimiento de empresas, en lo que podria denominarse clusters de empresas de economia social. Se emplearon tecnicas de econo-metria espacial. La muestra la conforman las empresas creadas en Espana entre 2001–2013.Los resulta…
Climate and extreme rainfall events in the Mono river basin (West Africa): investigating future changes with Regional Climate Models.
2020
This study characterizes the future changes in extreme rainfall and air temperature in the Mono river basin where the main economic activity is weather dependent and local populations are highly vulnerable to natural hazards, including flood inundations. Daily precipitation and temperature from observational datasets and Regional Climate Models (RCMs) output from REMO, RegCM, HadRM3, and RCA were used to analyze climatic variations in space and time, and fit a GEV model to investigate the extreme rainfalls and their return periods. The results indicate that the realism of the simulated climate in this domain is mainly controlled by the choice of the RCMs. These RCMs projected a 1 to 1.5 °
Generation of Natural Runoff Monthly Series at Ungauged Sites Using a Regional Regressive Model
2016
Many hydrologic applications require reliable estimates of runoff in river basins to face the widespread lack of data, both in time and in space. A regional method for the reconstruction of monthly runoff series is here developed and applied to Sicily (Italy). A simple modeling structure is adopted, consisting of a regression-based rainfall–runoff model with four model parameters, calibrated through a two-step procedure. Monthly runoff estimates are based on precipitation, temperature, and exploiting the autocorrelation with runoff at the previous month. Model parameters are assessed by specific regional equations as a function of easily measurable physical and climate basin descriptors. Th…
The Use of Non-Conventional Water Resources as a Means of Adaptation to Drought and Climate Change in Semi-Arid Regions: South-Eastern Spain
2019
Drought is a climatic risk with notable repercussions on water supply systems. The aim of this study is to analyze the principal measures for management and planning implemented during recent decades in south-eastern Spain (Segura River Basin) to respond to drought situations, focusing on the role played by non-conventional water resources (desalination and treated water). The results demonstrate that the study area (despite being one of the driest places of Spain) is less vulnerable to drought than regions with an Atlantic climate and greater availability of water. This has been possible thanks to the integration of non-conventional water resources as a means of adaptation to confront this…
Heading identity: a question among italian postwar immigrants in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentine
2015
Este trabajo analiza, a partir de los testimonios personales ofrecidos por un grupo de inmigrantes de la posguerra, el significado que estos sujetos históricos le han dado y le dan al concepto de identidad. En tal sentido, se ha buscado rastrear a través de entrevistas orales, cuál es el sentimiento de los inmigrantes con respecto a su identidad: se sienten ¿inmigrantes? ¿Extranjeros?, ¿Argentinos? Se parte de la idea de identidad como una construcción en la que es necesario comprender no sólo en su relación con el otro sino también como una alteridad propia. Por lo tanto, la identidad de muchos inmigrantes podría caracterizarse como una “identidad partida”, es decir, dividida en dos, entre…
Del teatro civil a un teatro del estupor
2016
Tras haber trabajado junto a algunos de los grandes nombres de la escena italiana como Toni Servillo, Anna Bonaiuto, Michela Cescon o Mirko Artuso, Beppe Casales (Padua, 1978) se empieza a interesar en el teatro de narración solista en los comienzos del milenio, momento en el que empieza a elaborar una dramaturgia personal caracterizada por una continua búsqueda de una voz propia y una profunda reflexión sobre la labor y función del dramaturgo. Obras como sus últimas La spremuta. Rosarno, migranti, 'ndrangheta (2012), sobre los encuentros entre los inmigrantes explotados por la mafia en el sur con la policía, o la muy recomendable L'albero storto. Una storia di trincea (2014), un denso espe…
