Up-to-date report on the distribution ofHelianthemum lippii(Cistaceae) in Italy
2015
An up-to-date report on the distribution of Helianthemum lippii in Italy is provided also on the basis of the findings by Lojacono-Pojero in 1889 who reported the existence of a relic population in Sicily (southern Italy), which is now thought to be extinct because of human disturbance. Field excursions permitted to confirm the locus classicus reported by Lojacono-Pojero as the other Sicilian localities that have been reported more recently. Based on a careful analysis of the literature the presence of H. lippii is currently excluded in Calabria and Apulia. The main causes that threaten the habitat of H. lippii in Sicily are pointed out according to IUCN Threats Classification Scheme.
Risk perception, knowledge, prevention, information sources and efficacy beliefs related to Covid-19
2020
Abstract Background Sars-Cov-2 is one of the latest examples of an emerging infectious disease challenging the world and it is the third case, in just two decades, of “spillover”. In light of the recent outbreak (Italy is in 2nd position), it is important to evaluate people risk perception and to support the Health Authority with effective communicative actions to avoid the spread of “infodemia”/alarmism. The aim of this study is a) to study levels of perceived threat, risk perception, severity and comparative vulnerability b) to compare risk perception with other communicable/not communicable diseases; c) provide information to increase awareness/ knowledge of the disease. Methods We perfo…
Gobio Genus Species Integrated Management System – Târnava Rivers Study Case (Transylvania, Romania)
2019
Abstract The lotic habitats quality indicative congeners species Gobio gobio, Gobio kessleri and Gobio albipinnatus populations’ dynamic in time (2004-2019) and space revealed a decreasing trend in these rivers ecological status. The ADONIS:CE tool has been used to build a backing management system model, based on these indicative fish species habitat needs, indicators for favourable conservation status, pressures and threats. This management system implementation in the field will favour the amelioration of lotic habitats and the ecological status recovering of two of the local fish species of conservative interest (G. kessleri and G. albipinnatus).
European Red List of Grasshoppers, Crickets and Bush-crickets
2016
The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of European species according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level, so that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This Red List publication summarises results for all hitherto described native European Orthoptera species (grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets). All Orthoptera species (grasshoppers, crickets and bushcrickets) native to or naturalised in Europe before AD 1500 (a total of 1,082 species), have been assessed in this Red List. The geographical scope is continent-wide, extending from Iceland in the…
LA VULNERABILITÀ DEI SUOLI ITALIANI
2012
Negli ultimi decenni la pressione esercitata sul paesaggio dalla popolazione italiana – al pari di quella europea – è cresciuta in maniera più intensa e veloce che nel passato. Questa pressione antropica ha avuto un così elevato impatto sull’ambiente che ha causato un notevole intervento dei processi di degradazione del suolo. In particolare: i) vaste aree del paesaggio italiano sono e rimangono esposte alla erosione del suolo che ancora rappresenta uno dei più gravi problemi per la scarsa addozione di misure e pratiche di conservazione del suolo; ii) Il consumo di suolo è ancora molto più evidente nelle principali aree metropolitane e costiere, spinto anche dalla diffusione degli impianti …
Hibrīddraudu novēršana Latvijā, Zviedrijā un Spānijā
2022
Maģistra darbā "Hibrīddraudu novēršana Latvijā, Zviedrijā un Spānijā" tiek pētīti un salīdzināti hibrīddraudu novēršanas pasākumi Latvijā, Zviedrijā un Spānijā kopš 2014. gada (Krievijas hibrīdkara pret Ukrainu) līdz 2022. gadam (Krievijas pilna mēroga karadarbībai pret Ukrainu). Pētījumā tiek aplūkota dažādu faktoru ietekme uz starpvalstu sadarbības veidošanos hibrīddraudu novēršanas jomā, īpašu uzsvaru liekot uz atšķirīgiem plānošanas cikliem. Darba teorētisko ietvaru veido mūsdienu hibrīddraudu galveno izpausmju un to novēršanas iespēju apraksts. Balstoties uz teorētiskajām atziņām, tiek izvirzīti empīriskās izpētes kritēriji – visas valdības (whole-of-government) un visas sabiedrības (w…
Determination of priority groups of indicators for threats identification to the financial security of insurance market
2017
The object of research is economic processes in insurance market of Ukraine. Generally there is no methodology for financial security assessment of the individual insurer and the insurance market in Ukraine, approved within the regulatory impact and determining financial security is not considered that hinders the practice of providing threats identification. To achieve the objectives author used the following methods: analysis and synthesis, logic synthesis, hierarchy analysis method. Methodological basis of the study is insurance theory and insurance concepts.As a result the aim of research was achieved, namely the priority groups of indicators for threats identification to the financial …
LA CICOGNA BIANCA CICONIA CICONIA (Aves Ciconiidae) IN SICILIA: AGGIORNAMENTO A TRENT'ANNI DALLA COLONIZZAZIONE
2020
Il presente lavoro sintetizza le conoscenze sulla Cicogna bianca nidificante in Sicilia negli ultimi 29 anni, dal 1991 (anno della prima nidificazione) al 2020. Per la raccolta dei dati sono state seguite le linee guida dell’International White Stork Census. Vengono presentate una cartina di distribuzione che illustra l’areale della specie attraverso un confronto temporale e alcune tabelle relative all’andamento annuale delle coppie nidificanti in Sicilia (sia HPa che HPm), al numero dei pulli involati e alla media (±SD) per nido. Dopo una crescita della popolazione nidificante, da una coppia fino a un massimo di 82 nel 2013, si è avuto un leggero calo e il numero di nidi si è stabilizzato …
Leveraging the benefits of big data with fast data for effective and efficient cybersecurity analytics systems : A robust optimisation approach
2020
In recent times, major cybersecurity breaches and cyber fraud within the public and private sectors are making international headlines. Majority of organisations are facing cybersecurity adversity and advanced threats. On the one hand, we have asynchronous cybersecurity practices, many standards and frameworks to consider while on the other hand, we have to deal and secure our organisations against cyber-criminals, organised hacktivists, insider threats, hackers and nation-states with malafide intentions. The Center for Cyber Safety and Education's Global Information Security Workforce Study (GISWS) confirms that globally we are not only loosing but also backpedalling against threats and ri…
