Byers Peninsula: A reference site for coastal, terrestrial and limnetic ecosystem studies in maritime Antarctica
2009
Abstract This article describes the development of an international and multidisciplinary project funded by the Spanish Polar Programme on Byers Peninsula (Livingston Island, South Shetlands). The project adopted Byers Peninsula as an international reference site for coastal and terrestrial (including inland waters) research within the framework of the International Polar Year initiative. Over 30 scientists from 12 countries and 26 institutions participated in the field work, and many others participated in the processing of the samples. The main themes investigated were: Holocene changes in climate, using both lacustrine sediment cores and palaeo-nests of penguins; limnology of the lakes, …
An automatic approach for rill network extraction to measure rill erosion by terrestrial and low‐cost unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry
2019
For an erosion event (October 2016) occurred at the Sparacia experimental area (Southern Italy), both terrestrial and low-altitude aerial surveys were carried out by consumer grade camera and quadcopter (low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle [UAV]) to measure rill erosion on two plots with steepness of 22% and 26%. Applying the structure from motion (SfM) technique, the three-dimensional digital terrain models (3D-DTMs) and the quasi three-dimensional models (2.5D-digital elevation model [DEM]) were obtained by the two surveys. Furthermore, 3D-DTM and DEM were built using the available aerial photographs (166) and adding 40 terrestrial photographs. For the first time, the convergence index was a…
Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO2 fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: Regional patterns and uncertainties
2021
The regional variability in tundra and boreal carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes can be high, complicating efforts to quantify sink-source patterns across the entire region. Statistical models are increasingly used to predict (i.e., upscale) CO2 fluxes across large spatial domains, but the reliability of different modeling techniques, each with different specifications and assumptions, has not been assessed in detail. Here, we compile eddy covariance and chamber measurements of annual and growing season CO2 fluxes of gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) during 1990–2015 from 148 terrestrial high-latitude (i.e., tundra and boreal) sites to a…
Las ideas gramaticales de Esteban de Terreros en sus Reglas a cerca de la Lengua Toscana o italiana (Forlì, 1771)
2010
El lexicógrafo Esteban de Terreros y Pando publicó en 1771 las Reglas sobre la Lengua Toscana o Italiana en Forlì, ciudad donde residió tras la expulsión de los jesuitas. En este trabajo, el autor reconoce la dependencia del trabajo gramatical de Corticelli, académico de Crusca. Sin embargo, el trabajo también presenta una serie de ideas lingüísticas y gramaticales originales junto con las fuentes que sirvieron de modelo. Pueden, por lo tanto, contrastarse con el conjunto de ideas lingüísticas, especialmente las ortográficas, bien establecidas en el período anterior a la expulsión y presentes principalmente en su Diccionario español con las voces de las ciencias y las artes. Lexicographer E…
Spirituality and Sustainability of Interreligious/Interdenominational Dialogue in Theological Study Programs
2019
Abstract This article is part of broader research on “The Interrelationship of Theology and Praxis in the Context of Sustainable Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue”1 in which we explore two essential concepts: sustainability and interreligious dialogue. We have narrowed this broader topic to study how facilitation of students’ spirituality in theology study programmes develops an environment for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue. We provide a theoretical glimpse into research from theology, pedagogy, and spirituality. Our future research process will be based on our findings. One of the current challenges is globalization, which coincides with diversificat…

La lettera di Adriano ad Alicarnasso e la cultura storico-antiquaria in età adrianea. Riflessioni sull’iscrizione AE 2012, 1550
2016
Nel 2012 è stato pubblicato il frammento epigrafico di una lettera dell'imperatore Adriano alla città di Alicarnasso in Caria (AE 2012, 1550). Gli autori presentano alcune riflessioni sulla cronologia, sui contenuti superstiti e sulla cornice culturale di questo interessante, seppur lacunoso, documento. L'analisi della titolatura imperiale adrianea permette di affermare che la lettera è stata scritta tra il 128 e il 135, come risposta a una petizione di Alicarnasso. Si ipotizza che la città fosse stata danneggiata nel 128 da un terremoto, che avrebbe colpito anche Rodi, Astypalaia e altre località costiere della provincia Asia. Adriano avrebbe concesso finanziamenti pubblici per la ricostru…
Common Misunderstandings of Deterrence Theory in Information Systems Research and Future Research Directions
2022
In the 1980s, information systems (IS) borrowed deterrence theory (DT) from the field of criminology to explain information security behaviors (or intention). Today, DT is among the most commonly used theories in IS security research. Our review of IS research applying DT highlights that many fundamental assumptions of DT are unrecognized and therefore unexamined. This may have resulted in misunderstandings and conceptual confusions regarding some of the basic concepts of DT. For example, some IS studies confuse general deterrence with specific deterrence or do not recognize the difference between the two. Moreover, these fundamental assumptions, when directly examined, may provide importan…
Rola Szanghajskiej Organizacji Współpracy w procesie międzyregionalnej integracji
2018
Szanghajska Organizacja Współpracy (SZOW) to międzynarodowa organizacja o charakterze rządowym, którą od 8 czerwca 2017 r. tworzy osiem państw członkowskich, a mianowicie: Federacja Rosyjska, Chińska Republika Ludowa, Republika Kazachstanu, Republika Kirgistanu, Republika Uzbekistanu, Republika Tadżykistanu, Republika Indii oraz Islamska Republika Pakistanu. Warto podkreślić, że dwa ostatnie państwa, tj. Republika Indii oraz Islamska Republika Pakistanu, formalnie pozostają w stanie wojny. Zgodnie z art. 1 Karty SZOW do głównych celów analizowanej organizacji należy: umacnianie pokoju, bezpieczeństwa i stabilności w regionie euroazjatyckim, przeciwdziałanie międzynarodowemu terroryzmowi, se…
