Propagowanie idei zrównoważonego rozwoju w serwisach społecznościowych
2017
Problemy ekologiczne przekraczają granice polityczne, a wdrażanie zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju napotyka na bariery i jest kontestowane przez niektóre grupy społeczne. Dalsza realizacja w pełnym zakresie tej idei wymaga zatem głębokich przemian w społeczeństwie,poprzedzonych szerokimi konsultacjami społecznymi. W związku z tym tworzy się przestrzeń do edukacyjnych i promocyjnych działań na jej rzecz. Serwisy społecznościowe posiadają wielką i jeszcze nie w pełni docenianą siłę oddziaływania społecznego. Stosowane tam metody przekazu treści i sposoby argumentowania nie mieszczą się w klasycznych ramach. W prezentowanym artykule skupiono się na specyfice wykorzystania serwisów społecznościowyc…
Disability in Older People and Socio-Economic Deprivation in Italy: Effects on the Care Burden and System Resources
2021
The sustainability of European Long-Term Care systems faces the demographic and socio-economic circumstances, mainly the increasing ageing of the population, with its chronic disease conditions, and the simultaneous economic general crises, exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond the increase in general rate of relative poverty, there is a higher risk of poverty among elderly and families in a high demand of care, especially if situations of Activities Daily Living (ADL) disability are present. Italian welfare, which is based on family care regimes and regional strategies, and is oriented to private or public care, is a relevant case study with which to analyze such a relationsh…
Long-Term Educational Sustainability: Educational Innovation in Social Vulnerability Contexts
2017
This paper investigates the behavior of children from low socioeconomic status families and examines the effects of a socioemotional education program on aggression in children. The results of the program are compared according to the children’s gender and age, the family structure, the parents’ educational attainment, and social status. The results show that applying socioemotional education programs reduces children’s aggression and encourages positive development during adolescence. This positive development fosters open, expressive behavior.
The Citation Factor Reconsidered: New Alternative for Tourism and Hospitality Research
2018
This note of research deals with the obsession of tourism scholars for citation impacts. Here I analyze not only the problems of tourism research but also how commercial publishers monopolized the production and the academic market through the imposition of the sense of prestige. We hold the thesis that the citation impact corresponds with a narcissist trend oriented to undermine the critical thinking. AUTOR Maximiliano E Korstanje - Doutorando.

Extraordinary Performance of Carbon‐Coated Anatase TiO 2 as Sodium‐Ion Anode
2015
The synthesis of in situ polymer‐functionalized anatase TiO2 particles using an anchoring block copolymer with hydroxamate as coordinating species is reported, which yields nanoparticles (≈11 nm) in multigram scale. Thermal annealing converts the polymer brushes into a uniform and homogeneous carbon coating as proven by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The strong impact of particle size as well as carbon coating on the electrochemical performance of anatase TiO2 is demonstrated. Downsizing the particles leads to higher reversible uptake/release of sodium cations per formula unit TiO2 (e.g., 0.72 eq. Na+ (11 nm) vs only 0.56 eq. Na+ (40 nm)) while the …
Nomenclature for Hydrogeological Instability Risks
2022
The nomenclature for hydrogeological instability risks includes four main risks, which are distinguished according to the risk causes : 1) hydrogeological risk, that is slowly caused by natural factors (e.g. collapse landslides in a calcareous cliff in uninhabited areas and erosion along a marly-calcareous slope) in environments where human activities are minimal, i.e. woods, forests and mountain pastures; 2) hydraulic-pedological farming risk, that implies the occurrence of landslides in every winter and is caused by incorrect crop selection, not suitable for the soil and climate parameters (e.g. on a hilly slope with a clay vertisol type with a landslide having different fronts, when the …
THE STRUCTURE OF SOIL CADASTRE. A MODEL OF SOIL INVENTORY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND TAXATION PURPOSES IN A GLOBALISED MARKET
2018
The author shows the development of a structure, derived from the processing and integration of Ground Cadastre, where all soil characteristics are described. The soil is considered as divided according to the updated concept of cadastral parcel (soil and topographic uniformity of ownership and municipality). The land use is also assessed with reference to sustainability, taxation and environmental risk prevention. The structure of Soil Cadastre can contribute to the bureaucratic simplification of agricultural policies and environmental emergencies, as well as product presentation and traceability. Through the updating of some characteristics by professionals, the cadastre can become eviden…
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT EXPERIENCES FOR SOLAR HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS
2018
Solar heating and cooling systems can significantly contribute to the energy and climate European goals. A complete assessment of this contribution needs the analysis of these systems from a life-cycle perspective, in order to estimate the energy and environmental costs of their manufacturing and end-of-life, and to compare these costs with the benefits obtained during operation. A well-established methodology to fulfil this task is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The paper describes some LCA experiences of solar heating and cooling systems, developed within the Task 53 “New generation solar cooling & heating systems (PV or solar thermally driven systems)” of the International Energy A…
Global urban environmental change drives adaptation in white clover
2022
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:52:06Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-03-18 Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations in 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense that also affects tolerance to abiotic stressors. Urban-rural gradients were associated with the evolution of clines in defense in 47% of cities throughout the world. Variation in the strength of clines was explained by environmental changes in drought stress and vegetation cover that varied am…
Maahanmuuttajataustaisten oppilaiden peruskouluaikaisia sopeutumiskokemuksia
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia kokemuksia maahanmuuttajataustaisilla oppilailla on suomalaisesta peruskoulusta sekä sen aikaisesta sopeutumisprosessistaan. Samoin, tavoitteena oli selvittää sitä, miten peruskoulu oli tukenut heidän sopeutumisprosessiaan. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin erityisesti oppilaiden omia kokemuksia heidän peruskouluaikaisista opetusjärjestelyistään, suomen kielen oppimisestaan, kieli-identiteetistään sekä vertaisryhmistään. Laadullinen tutkimusaineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla kahdeksaa 13–32-vuotiasta suomea toisena kielenään käyttävää maahanmuuttajataustaista henkilöä, joista seitsemän oli syntynyt ulkomailla ja yksi Suomessa. Aineisto kä-…
