Precipitation pattern in the Baltic countries under the influence of large-scale atmospheric circulation and local landscape factors
2010
The main objectives of the study are to analyse the mean precipitation pattern in the Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) and the influence of local landscape factors on it, to derive a regionalization, i.e. select regions having coherent fluctuations in precipitation, and to analyse relationships between precipitation and characteristics of the large-scale atmospheric circulation. Monthly precipitation data from 123 stations in the Baltic countries from 1966 to 2005 are analysed in relation to 52 landscape variables and 13 circulation variables. The landscape variables characterize landscape around the meteorological stations: land cover, land surface elevation, distance from the…
On the Choice of the Most Suitable Period to Map Hill Lakes via Spectral Separability and Object-Based Image Analyses
2023
Technological advances in Earth observation made images characterized by high spatial and temporal resolutions available, nevertheless bringing with them the radiometric heterogeneity of small geographical entities, often also changing in time. Among small geographical entities, hill lakes exhibit a widespread distribution, and their census is sometimes partial or shows unreliable data. High resolution and heterogeneity have boosted the development of geographic object-based image analysis algorithms. This research analyzes which is the most suitable period for acquiring satellite images to identify and delimitate hill lakes. This is achieved by analyzing the spectral separability of the su…
Urban Regionalisation Processes : Governance of Post-Urban Phenomena in Sicily
2021
The critical reflection on modern cities, that continued through the 20th century, has fed a wide- ranging and controversial debate within urban studies. The theoretical category of “urban” as a spatial, social product as well as being an economic and political one, has changed via new settlement principles, an expression of “new forms of cities” and also of new “city demand”, and of the various use practices that produce and are produced in these new territories. This book tries to answer the questions on transformation phenomena of urban dimension (regionalization processes), for which the interpretations provided in reference literature are not totally convincing. In fact, traditional re…
Key-indicators for maternity hospitals and newborn readmission in Sicily
2017
This paper proposes a composite indicator for the classification of maternity units, which takes into account for the different dimensions of service delivery, as potential predictors of health outcomes. As a measure of outcome, infant readmissions is considered, being a proxy of morbidity. The results highlight that after controlling for risk factors of the newborn, and for the presence of neonatal intensive unit, infants born in lower level hospitals show readmission rates higher than infants born in higher level hospitals.
Propozycja regionalizacji fizycznogeograficznej Sudetów Wschodnich
2018
Artykuł przedstawia propozycję wyznaczenia granic Sudetów Wschodnich oraz podziału fizycznogeograficznego makroregionu na mezoregiony. Przy wyznaczaniu granic uwzględniono w większym stopniu genetyczno-geologiczny podział Sudetów związany z orogenezą waryscyjską. W podziale na mezoregiony w większym stopniu uwzględniono kryteria litostratygraficzne.
Governance of global value chains after the Covid-19 pandemic: A new wave of regionalization?
2021
The disruption of the trade and investment activities of multinational enterprises as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic has reinvigorated the debate on the configuration of global value chains (GVCs) as well as the risks and challenges associated with offshoring. This article depicts how the pandemic might affect GVC configuration by driving a trend toward a more regional footprint in industries in which resilience and reliability are critical. Such a shift would create new opportunities for reshoring, and affect both the types of upgrading trajectories and the governance systems in value chains. The article also draws from the intersection of the global-strategy and value-chain field…

Impacto de los acuerdos comerciales preferenciales en un contexto de competencia imperfecta
2015
Los primeros países firmantes del GATT se basaron en teorías económicas clásicas y neo-clásicas abogando por las ventajas del libre comercio multilateral. Si bien en el 60º aniversario del GATT, la OMC puede hacer alarde de una reducción notable de barreras al comercio, hace en cambio un balance menos positivo de los avances del multilateralismo a escala global. En efecto, el aumento exponencial del comercio se produjo esencialmente en el marco de acuerdos comerciales regionales y mayoritariamente en beneficio de países industrializados, con poca redistribución de riquezas y tecnología entre países del Norte y países del Sur. Ese fenómeno de regionalización acelerado ha llegado a tales prop…
O znaczeniu kategorii pogranicza we współczesnej politologii
2013
Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie o rolę kategorii pogranicza w polskiej politologii. Opiera się na informacjach uzyskanych na podstawie ankiety, skierowanej do 223 polskich politologów, w której zapytano ich o wagę oraz eksplanacyjny potencjał kategorii pogranicza w analizie politologicznej. Niski poziom responsywności uniemożliwia dokonanie generalizacji na całe środowisko politologiczne, dlatego tekst niniejszy jest jedynie syntezą opinii politologów, którzy odpowiedzieli na naszą ankietę. Kategoria pogranicza przedstawiona jest jako ważna i przydatna w analizie politologicznej, przede wszystkim ze względu na jej integralny związek ze współcześnie zachodzącymi zmianami, takimi jak…
