The role of herbaria for taxonomic and distributional studies in Characeae: examples from the Herbarium Mediterraneum Panormitanum (PAL) and the Flor…
2018
Characeae is a taxonomically critical family. Taxonomical uncertainties inevitably affect its distributional data. The role of herbarium specimens, particularly types and original material, is crucial for unravelling taxonomical ‘knots’. Moreover, wet areas have undergone dramatic reduction and modification in the last century and historical herbarium specimens may represent basic documents for the reconstruction of former distributions. Some preliminary data from two different Italian Herbaria are here presented. The Herbarium Mediterraneum Panormitanum (PAL, the standard acronym according to the Index herbariorum, http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ ih) houses four folders of Characeae exsiccata. T…
Louseborne relapsing fever in young migrants, sicily, Italy, july-september 2015
2016
To the Editor: During the early 20th century, at the end of World War I, and during World War II, louseborne relapsing fever (LBRF) caused by Borrelia recurrentis was a major public health problem, especially in eastern Europe and northern Africa (1,2). Currently, poor living conditions, famine, war, and refugee camps are major risk factors for epidemics of LBRF in resource-poor countries, such as those in the Horn of Africa (3,4). Increased migration from resource-poor countries and war/violence create new routes for spread of vectorborne diseases. Recently, several cases of LBRF have been reported among asylum seekers from Eritrea in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany (5–8). All of…

The crime of consumption of alcoholic beverages in the Somali Penal Code
2021
Somalia is a Muslim country whose criminal law has been based on the 1930 Italian penal code to which some changes have been made to try to adapt it to the local context. One of these changes has been to introduce the crime of consumption of alcoholic beverages, a crime that anyway could be committed only by local Somali people due to their religious belief. This chapter analyzes this part of the Somali penal code trying to highlight the issues arising from the text of the law. The analysis is compared to the regime existing in the other Muslim African countries to understand similarities and differences with the Somali regulation. A conclusion is then drawn up also in view of a possible fu…

Islam, tytöt ja koululiikunta : somalimiesten ajatuksia ja näkemyksiä alakouluikäisten tyttöjen koululiikunnasta
2014
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, onko haastateltavien somalimiesten mielestä liikunta tarpeellista alakouluikäisille tytöille? Onko se soveliasta heille? Ovatko liikuntaryhmät, joissa sekä tytöt että pojat liikkuvat yhdessä, soveliaita? Millaiset liikuntavarusteet tytöillä tulisi olla liikuntatunnilla? Mitä ajatuksia tyttöjen koululiikunta heissä herättää. Laadullinen tutkimus toteutettiin teemahaastatteluina. Haastattelut tehtiin syksyllä 2013 pääkaupunkiseudulla.
