Fractalité tridiastatique: propositions conceptuelles pour l'aménagement urbain

2015

National audience; Le contexte de cette communication est motivé par l’objectif de la ville durable (se¬lon la définition de l’ICLEI), et tente de contribuer aux solutions conceptuelles qui permettent d’y parvenir. Nous partons du principe que l’étalement urbain est certes identifié comme un processus néfaste a‘ la continuation de l’urbanisation (§ 1.1) , mais posons l’hypothèse qu’il nécessite un chan¬gement de paradigme (penser l’espace ur¬bain en 3D et non plus en 2D) pour être dépassé (§ 1.2).

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…

Shooting borders. Per una geogafia visuale delle migrazioni

2017

Our perceptions of events in the Mediterranean are strongly influenced by a range of visual practices that impact on both the emotional and the political. In this paper, I set out to critically explore the visual geographies underlying photographic images of contemporary migration flows across the Mediterranean Sea. I argue the need for a methodological shift from a content analysis approach to a critical investigation of the spatial interweaving of images, gazes and aesthetic regimes that governs both the production and reception of such photographs. Given these theoretical premises, I focus on three images of migrants being rescued in the Mediterranean to illustrate how photography can ac…

Visual Methodologies and Geography's education in the pandemic time: notes on geopolitics of migration in the "Mediterranean Complex"

2022

<abstract> <p>The relationship between Geography and the Visual has always been strong intertwined. As it is true that Geography has always operates through images (in the form of pictures, creative representations and above all cartographies), in the last two years, with the distance learning due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, this phenomenon has not only increased, but it also became necessary. "The classroom as the most radical space", in the words of bell hooks, had to turn into a virtual space, where images have a fundamental role in the teaching/learning process. This paper wants to analyse the relationship between Geography and the Visual by analysing three image…

Volte tabicadas nelle grandi isole del Mediterraneo: Sicilia e Sardegna (XV-XVIII secolo)

2012

Allo stato attuale delle ricerche le volte"tabicadas" costituiscono per la Sicilia e la Sardegna una scoperta recente, troppo episodici risultano oggi i casi conosciuti. Paradossalmente sono le fabbriche più precoci, tutte in Sicilia (torre di Pozzallo, castello di Butera, convento di Santa Maria di Gesù a Modica), quelle che presentano minori difficoltà storiografiche, poichè direttamente collegabili a committenti catalani e quindi a esperienze costruttive di importazione. Più problematici appaiono gli esempi in importanti edifici civili della Palermo del Settecento e individuabili anche attraverso le fonti notarili. Altrettando si può dire per cosiddetti "ladrillos de boveda"documentati i…

Measuring Vulnerability of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Italy

2019

In recent years, a growing number of forced migrants have travelled to Italy across the Mediterranean Sea. While the number of new arrivals has diminished since 2017, the Italian reception system still struggles to process the high number of applications for international protection. A significant proportion of forced migrants who arrive in Italy end up living in informal settlements, such as occupied buildings, shacks, containers and tented camps. In this study, we assess the vulnerability of asylum seekers and refugees living in informal settlements in Italy, using data from the first nationally representative survey of this population. We compare a count measure of vulnerability with a n…

The Eurasian spoonbill Platalea leucorodia in Sicily between 1972 and 2018, distribution and ecology

2020

The observations of the Eurasian spoonbill made in Sicily between 1972 and 2018 were collected and analyzed. The presences, initially scarce and referred to a few sites, have consolidated over time, and gradually have affected an increasing number of sites. The observations were concentrated in the coastal salt pans and exsalt pans systems, secondarily in the mouths and in inland waters, below 100 m a.s.l.. The greatest number of Eurasian spoonbill was found in the migration period, both post and pre-reproductive; in the summer the lowest values. The average number of birds per flock, compared to subsequent years, from November to January did not vary significantly, while it was variable in…
