Architettura per i beni confiscati : figure del progetto nei territori del conflitto fra democrazia e criminalità

2023

L’articolo affronta il rapporto fra città, territorio e democrazia a partire dai risultati di una ricerca internazionale, che ha indagato le forme peculiari di crisi del pubblico nei territori del conflitto fra Stato e criminalità mafiosa. Le domande di ricerca si situano in un quadro che intende il territorio come luogo elettivo per leggere le tracce costruite dal rapporto fra comunità e poteri illegali. Esse hanno posto la necessità di indagare l’insieme dei beni confiscati reclamando la necessità dell’intervento progettuale per le trasformazioni spaziali, linguistiche e simboliche senza le quali la loro transizione a beni pubblici non può dirsi pienamente compiuta. Riferiti al terr…

A new reading of Bronze Age funerary structures in Mongolia through the analysis of their architectural elements, arrangement and form

2022

The archaeological landscape of Mongolia is marked by the presence of numerous funerary monuments (khirigsuurs) and engraved stelae (deer stones), erected by nomadic populations at the end of the Bronze Age. The first observations indicate great regularity in the choice and arrangement of the architectural and iconographic elements at the time when these structures were built. This regularity suggests the existence of shared traditions and social coherence between nomadic communities in a territory covering almost twice that of France. The data available today do not provide sufficient perspective to establish social models at the level of a province, and even less so at the scale of the co…

Spatial distribution of brucellosis in sheep and goats in Sicily from 2001 to 2005

2007

Spatial analysis is making an increasingly important contribution to surveillance measures due to its ability to enable immediate visualization of information on the phenomenon studied. The authors describe the spatial distribution of prevalence and incidence of brucellosis in small ruminants in Sicily between 2001 and 2005. the study was conducted by integrating geografic information system (GIS)tecnology (MapInfo Professional 7.0) with SaTscan software to the perform an epidemiological analysis of the municipalities and to locate problem areas. A comparison between the thematic maps produced for brucellosis in small ruminants on the basis of prevalence and incidence data for each individu…

Barrier effects on the spatial distribution of Xylella fastidiosa in Alicante, Spain

2021

AbstractSpatial models often assume isotropy and stationarity, implying that spatial dependence is direction invariant and uniform throughout the study area. However, these assumptions are violated when dispersal barriers are present in the form of geographical features or disease control interventions. Despite this, the issue of non-stationarity has been little explored in the context of plant health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different barriers in the distribution of the quarantine plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa in the demarcated area in Alicante, Spain. Occurrence data from the official surveys in 2018 were analyzed with four spatial Baye…

Atmospheric dust, early cases, and localized meningitis epidemics in the African meningitis belt: an analysis using high spatial resolution data.

2018

8 pages; International audience; Background : Bacterial meningitis causes a high burden of disease in the African meningitis belt, with regular seasonal hyperendemicity and sporadic short, but intense, localized epidemics during the late dry season occurring at a small spatial scale [i.e., below the district level, in individual health centers (HCs)]. In addition, epidemic waves with larger geographic extent occur every 7–10 y. Although atmospheric dust load is thought to be an essential factor for hyperendemicity, its role for localized epidemics remains hypothetic.Objectives : Our goal was to evaluate the association of localized meningitis epidemics in HC catchment areas with the dust lo…

Les climats régionaux : observation et modélisation : actes du colloque

2012

6 pages; International audience; L'objectif de cette étude est de caractériser les variations spatio-temporelles des flux sédimentaires de la basse vallée du Mono-Couffo (bassin versant partagé par le Bénin et le Togo), à partir des données de matières en suspension (MES), de débits solides (TSS), de pluie, du débit et des données concernant l'occupation du sol pour mieux apprécier l'impact de la dégradation du couvert végétal sur le flux des sédiments terrigènes. Il ressort de l'analyse une diminution de plus de 60 % des formations naturelles entre les années 1956 et 2000, contribuant à une augmentation des apports spécifiques dans la basse vallée. Une charge solide considérable en matière…

Socio-economic deprivation and COVID-19 infection: a Bayesian spatial modelling approach

2022

Il presente articolo ha l’obiettivo di analizzare l’effetto della deprivazione socio-economica sull’incidenza da COVID-19 a livello sub-comunale. Grazie alla disponibilit`a di informazioni sui tassi di incidenza mensili da COVID-19 a livello di sezione di censimento per i due comuni di Palermo e Catania (Italia), viene pro- posto l’utilizzo di un modello spaziale Bayesiano con distribuzione binomiale zero- inflated. I risultati mostrano un’associazione tra livelli di deprivazione e incidenza da COVID-19 nei due comuni, controllando per la struttura spaziale delle unit`a areali considerate. Alla luce dei risultati, si rendono necessarie azioni di politica sanitaria focalizzando gli intervent…

Spatial variability of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) mineralisation potential at a millimetre scale in soil

2003

Abstract We analysed the ability of soil units of millimetre size to mineralise a herbicide, 2,4-D, using incubations of individual aggregates (2–7 mm diameter) and 6×6×6 mm 3 cubes dissected from soil cores, under standard conditions. Mineralisation of 14 C-ring labelled 2,4-D was measured using a barite paper trap and a Phosphorimager to record the evolved 14 C-CO 2 from these very small soil samples. We found a large variability of 2,4-D mineralisation potential between aggregate size classes, between individual aggregates of the same size and between the different dissected cubes from a given core. We explained this variability by an uneven distribution of the degrading microorganisms a…
