Pyrus pedrottiana (Rosaceae), a new species from the Nebrodi Mountains (N-E Sicily)
2022
A new species of Pyrus for the dendroflora of Sicily is here described. It is Pyrus pedrottiana, actually considered endemic to the Nebrodi Mountains, a territory which includes the largest wooded area of the island with a high forest biodiversity.In the same area, P. vallis-demonis and P. ciancioi have also been described in recent times. The authors report diagnostic characters to distinguish the new taxon from the other two sympatric species.
Esistono verbi sintagmatici nel dialetto e nell'italiano regionale di Sicilia?
2008
Il contributo propone una indagine sulla vitalità diacronica dei verbi con particella nel siciliano e nella varietà di italiano regionale di Sicilia al fine di avere dati che possano smentire l'ipotesi di una presenza di queste strutture nell'italiano per il tramite dei dialetti settentrionali. Il corpus su cui si basa l'indagine sono tratti dalla scripta in siciliano antico dei secc. XIV e XV e dalle produzioni di parlato dell'Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia. La ricerca dimostra per la prima volta la presenza di queste strutture già nel siciliano antico e pone l'accento sulle differenze nell'uso con quanto avviene in italiano.
Value Co-creation for Smart Villages: The Institutionalization of Regional Service Ecosystems
2020
Building a versatile portfolio of public and private digital-enabled services is vital in rural and sparsely populated regions, where traditional market mechanisms alone cannot guarantee the availability of essential services. However, contemporary services tend to build on prevalent institutions, often governed by decisions based on market mechanisms, such as economies of scale – service-by-service and village-by-village. A shift is suggested towards networks of smart villages co-creating value as regional service ecosystems. We draw from institutional theory and employ the Service-dominant logic (SDL) framework in investigating value co-creation in rural villages in Sweden. Analyzing 53 l…
Comparisons, Categories, and Labels: Investigating the North–South Dichotomy in Europe
2021
The paper presents genealogy-oriented analysis of how the Nordic model gained its dominant characterization as modern, advanced and superior to other European welfare models while Southern European countries came to be labelled laggards in the welfare domain. To illuminate the relational nature of these, and all, comparisons, the analysis accentuates how researchers, politicians, and civil servants alike designate Nordic and Southern European states, their societies, and their welfare models. The empirical analysis focuses on scholarly writings about welfare-state comparisons (1986–2017) and on European Union documents addressing cohesion policies (1986–2021). Analysis of the vocabulary and…
Aktywność sołectw wspierających rozwój społeczny w ramach Programu Odnowy Wsi w latach 2013-2015
2018
Odnowa wsi jako metoda rozwoju stanowi jeden ze sposobów osiągania celów rozwojowych, rozumianych nie tylko w kontekście poprawy jakości infrastruktury, ale poprawy szeroko rozumianej jakości życia, której nie osiągniemy bez zaangażowania samych mieszkańców. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie Programu Odnowy Wsi (na przykładzie województwa opolskiego) jako elementu przyczyniającego się do rozwoju kapitału społecznego, czego wyrazem może być liczba przedsięwzięć realizowanych przez poszczególne sołectwa. Zostały przeanalizowane sprawozdania sołectw (około 600 rocznie) z realizacji programu w latach 2013-2015. Podstawową metodą prezentacji wyników badań jest analiza opisowa z użyciem metod il…

Genomic structure and promoter analysis of pathogen-inducedrepatgenes fromSpodoptera exigua
2009
The repat gene family encodes midgut proteins overexpressed in response to pathogen infection in the lepidopteran Spodoptera exigua. Up-regulation of repat genes has been observed after challenging the larvae with both Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and after infection with the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus. In our study, PCR amplification of the genomic region and genome walking were used to obtain the genomic structure and the sequence of the 5'-upstream region of repat1 and repat2, two of the most phylogenetically distant members of the repat family. A similar gene structure between repat1 and repat2 has been found, with conserved exon-intron positions a…
Molecular Basis of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1-Induced Immune Translational Shutdown as Revealed by All-Atom Simulations.
2021
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic represents the most severe global health crisis in modern human history. One of the major SARS-CoV-2 virulence factors is nonstructural protein 1 (Nsp1), which, outcompeting with the binding of host mRNA to the human ribosome, triggers a translation shutdown of the host immune system. Here, microsecond-long all-atom simulations of the C-terminal portion of the SARS-CoV-2/SARS-CoV Nsp1 in complex with the 40S ribosome disclose that SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 has evolved from its SARS-CoV ortholog to more effectively hijack the ribosome by undergoing a critical switch of Q/E158 and E/Q159 residues that perfects Nsp1's interactions…
A single tube PCR assay for detecting viruses and their recombinants that cause tomato yellow leaf curl disease in Mediterranean basin
2007
Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) is well known in Mediterranean countries, where it has been causing severe losses in tomato crops for decades. Until recently, two viruses (with several isolates) in the genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae, have been associated with the epidemics: Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus (TYLCSV). However, recombinants between these, such as Tomato yellow leaf curl Malaga virus (TYLCMalV), are spreading, and new methods for detecting all viruses present in the region are needed. By considering all DNA sequences available of viruses causing TYLCD in the Mediterranean basin, a PCR/RFLP protocol was developed t…
Alla ricerca dell'autosostenibilità. Visioni e scenari per territorio e comunità
2021
Riflettere e ritornare a ripensare le relazioni tra le varie arti e i vari campi del sapere scientifico è oggi quanto mai necessario vista la tendenza esplicita alla liquefazione, allo scollamento e alla dispersione tra e dei processi intellettuali (sempre più omologati sulla necessità di aver successo mediatico nel messaggio immediato e mediante slogan e packaging più che risolvere, concretamente, i fatti urbani e territoriali) e alla costante separazione con le tecniche, i metodi e le attività burocratiche (anche esse sempre più meccaniche e industriali che fanno spesso il paio con processi di economie di scala). Entrambi gli aspetti divengono sempre più seriali, globalizzati e standardiz…
