Setting up of a protocol of environmental research for preservation and right exploitation of the cultural heritage

2007

The research aims at collecting information on the state of preservation of the cultural heritage in Palermo, and deals more precisely with Vittorio Emanuele avenue, itself bounded by two city gates called Porta Felice (northern gate facing the Mediterranean sea) and Porta Nuova (southern gate) that both give access to the historic centre of the city. Another important purpose is the assessment of livability level, be it for workers, residents, cultural operators, or else visitors, with a particular interest in traffic noise. The research has been conducted by means of miscellaneous scientific duties; however we shall only refer here to two types of practice : the monitoring of environmenta…

Oltre il limite della vita: fattori di rischio e prevenzione dei comportamenti suicidari

2011

La tematica del suicidio rappresenta un ambito particolare e complessa riflessione sotto il profilo antropologico, sociologico, psicologico e psichiatrico. Possibilità perturbante, ma in ogni e cultura strettamente inerente alle opzioni esistenziali degli esseri umani, essa costituisce, altresì, una via finale comune a disagi interiori differenti che traggono radici sia da veri e propri disturbi psichiatrici, sia da profondi malesseri in cui la componente di tipo sociale o culturale può risultare preponderante. Questione non eludibile in tutte le società moderne, essa assume particolare rilievo nella civiltà attuale, nella quale l'aumento dei tassi delle condotte suicidiarie e, più in gener…

How do individuals emotionally cope with the imminent real-world salience of mortality? DeWall and Baumeister as well as Kashdan and colleagues previously provided support that an increased use of positive emotion words serves as a way to protect and defend against mortality salience of one’s own contemplated death. Although these studies provide important insights into the psychological dynamics of mortality salience, it remains an open question how individuals cope with the immense threat of mortality prior to their imminent actual death. In the present research, we therefore analyzed positivity in the final words spoken immediately before execution by 407 death row inmates in Texas. By u…

Aggression in television programs in Finland

1993

A detailed coding system was constructed to study the frequency and salience of aggression in TV programs broadcast on Finnish television. Salience of aggression was measured by the brutality index which consisted of ratings concerning the 1) program context, 2) seriousness, 3) justification, and 4) dramatization of aggressive acts. When compared to previous studies of TV-violence, the rate of aggression in Finnish TV was moderate with 3.5 aggressive acts per program hour. Only 14% of aggressive acts portrayed brutal aggression, which was mostly seen in fictional films and serials. A clear 9 pm watershed was not seen in Finland, since aggressive acts were distributed quite evenly during the…

El efecto del estado civil y de la convivencia en pareja en la salud

2015

Las investigaciones en torno a las de las consecuencias del divorcio sobre la salud en España escasean. Esta investigación es una contribución en este campo desde la sociología y la demografía. En ella se analiza la salud de las personas separadas/divorciadas en España con la Encuesta Europea de Salud 2009-2010. Mediante las preguntas sobre salud percibida y salud mental objetiva se explora si 1) las personas con estado civil de divorciadas sufren de una peor salud que las casadas; si 2) la situación de convivencia en pareja evidencia una mejor salud; y si 3) el género es una fuente de diferenciación de la salud entre las personas separadas/divorciadas. Los resultados muestran que la salud …

El sistema de formación vial: del modelo tradicional a las nuevas modalidades

2016

Las críticas a las maneras tradicionales de enseñar han adquirido mucha más fuerza ante los requerimientos de una formación que permita afrontar la necesidad de garantizar aprendizajes efectivos y relevantes, más allá de la adquisición “repetitiva” de los conocimientos. El ámbito de la formación vial y la enseñanza en la esfera de la conducción y la seguridad vial no es ajeno a estas críticas. En este sentido, destaca la censura del énfasis de la pasividad de los sujetos más que en la actividad, en la que los responsables del aprendizaje, raramente prestan atención a las interacciones y factores que influyen en la capacidad de motivarse y aprender. En el ámbito de la formación vial, predomi…

Driver training interests of a Spanish sample of young drivers and its relationship with their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavi…

2013

Abstract Poor driving self-assessment skills (e.g., over-confidence) have been pointed out as an important explanatory factor behind young drivers’ accident involvement. This paper explores (1) what young drivers miss in their training as drivers in order to analyze whether an assessment of one's own driving skills plays an important role in their desire to improve as drivers, and (2) how these training interests are related to an estimate of their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavior. For this purpose, a study was conducted using a survey with a blocked sampling design of novice drivers. The survey solicited respondents’ self-report about (1) the contents of training co…

Foliar Applications with SUNRED® Biostimulant Advance and Uniform Fruit Ripening in Orange and Olive

2015

This study evaluated the effect of foliar biostimulants on fruit quality of adult 'Valencia' orange and 'Biancolilla' olive trees. Half of the selected orange and olive trees were sprayed twice before harvest with the SUNRED® commercial mix containing phenylalanine, methionine, mono-saccharides and oxylipins from plant extracts as well as potassium salts and urea. Orange and olive yields and fruit quality were measured at harvest, and fruit peel color was determined by digital image analysis. Phenolic and sensory profiles were also determined in the olive oil. In orange, the foliar spray increased TSS:acid ratio and peel color uniformity, while in olive, it increased peel color uniformity, …

Effect of Sunred metabolic promoter and deficit irrigation on fruit quality of 'Valencia' oranges

2012

This study evaluated the effect of deficit irrigation and Sunred foliar metabolic promoter on fruit quality of adult 'Valencia' orange trees. Three irrigation strategies were imposed in spring 2011: Irrigation with volumes corresponding to 100% of crop evapotranspiration applied to entire root-zone (CI), partial root-zone drying (PRD) with 50% of CI water applied to one alternated side of the root-zone, and continuous deficit irrigation (DI) with 50% of CI water applied to both sides of the root-zone. Four trees in each irrigation treatment were sprayed 30 and 20 days before harvest with Sunred metabolic promoter containing phenylalanine, methionine, mono-saccharides and oxylipins from plan…
