Aspetti tipo-cronologici e archeometrici delle ceramiche africane nel territorio di Cignana (Naro, AG, Sicilia)
2020
Il progetto di ricerca, condotto in cotutela tra l'Università di Palermo e Aix-Marseille Université, si basa sullo studio delle ceramiche africane importate in Sicilia tra la fine del I e il VII secolo d.C.. La ricerca si basa sui frammenti - tutte le classi incluse - raccolti dal gruppo di ricerca di Palermo durante le ricognizioni archeologiche nei dintorni della villa romana di Cignana (Agrigento) e nell'entroterra di Termini Imerese (Palermo). L'approccio multidisciplinare archeologico ed archeometrico, condotto in collaborazione con diversi specialisti di queste discipline, ha permesso di definire l'origine delle diverse produzioni e di riflettere sulla loro circolazione in Sicilia, in…

The development of African American Vernacular English in two fiction texts: a case study
2009
Afroamerikkalainen englanti on Pohjois-Amerikassa ristiriitaisessa asemassa. Kielitieteilijät eivät ole yhteisymmärryksessä kielen syntyperästä ja näin koko kieli ja sen oikeellisuus on kyseenalaistettu Amerikassa. Kielen käyttäjät ovat useimmiten mustia amerikkalaisia, joista useat ovat joutuneet pilkan kohteiksi puhetyylinsä vuoksi. Nykyään monet mustat jopa pitävät kieltään vain slangina tai muuten virheellisenä. Siksi lisää tutkimuksia afroamerikkalaisesta englannista tarvittaisiin. Tässä tutkimuksessa vertailtiin kahta fiktiivistä afroamerikkalaista tekstiä toisiinsa, jotta nähtiin millaisia eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä kirjailijoiden kielenkäytössä oli. Näistä eroista tehtiin myös johtopä…

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child's Role in Litigation Before the Committee of Experts of the African Children's Charter
2020
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this article contributes to a reflection about the Convention's impact on domestic and international case law by investigating its role in, and implications for, litigation before the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. To this end, the analysis starts by tracing the core aspects of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and by comparing its content to that of the UN Convention. It then investigates the extent to which, in its practice, the African Committee has engaged with (or, indeed, ignored or overlooked) the UN Convention, and critically assess…

The Western Alps from the Jurassic to Oligocene: spatio-temporal constraints and evolutionary reconstructions
2005
Abstract Despite extensive research in the last 150 years, the regional tectonic reconstruction of the Western Alps has remained controversial. The curved orogenic belt consists of several ribbon-like continental terranes (Sesia/Austroalpine, Internal Crystalline Massifs, Brianconnais), which are separated by two or more ophiolitic sutures (Piemonte, Valais, Antrona?, Lanzo/Canavese?). High-pressure (HP) metamorphism of each terrane occurred during distinct orogenic episodes: at ∼65 Ma in the Sesia/Austroalpine, at ∼45 Ma in the Piemonte zone and at ∼35 Ma in the Internal Crystalline Massifs. It is suggested that these events reflect individual accretionary episodes, which together with kin…
Pan African plate tectonics and its repercussions on the crust of northeast Africa
1979
Pan African belts of the African mainland and the Arabian-Nubian Shield exhibit evolutionary features which are either compatible with intracontinental ensialic development or with plate margin and Wilson cycle tectonics during the time period ∼ 1100–500 Ma ago.
Tectonic control over large-scale diffuse degassing in eastern Sicily (Italy)
2002
Eastern Sicily (southern Italy) is characterised by the presence of many natural gas emissions (mofettes, mud volcanoes). These gases are mostly carbon dioxide and methane, with minor amounts of helium, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. In this study, the extent and orientation of soil gas anomalies (He and CO2) were investigated on a wide area (approximately 110 km2) located just SW of Mt. Etna. From a structural point of view, this area lays on a typical foredeep–foreland system that marks the boundary between the southern part of the Eurasian plate and the northern part of the African plate in the central Mediterranean. No tectonic structure was revealed in this area by surface…
Unione africana e Nazioni Unite: coordinamento o subordinazione nella gestione delle crisi?
2019
The present chapter deals with the relationship between the United Nations and the African Union in the field of international peace and security. The shifting from the Organization for African Unity to the African Union and the establishment of the Peace and Security Council are the answers of African States to the failure of the United Nations to manage the several crisis scenarios in Africa since the early ’90s. If one considers, in fact, the practice of the Union, as regards enforcement actions, the lack of financial resources is the major obstacle to peace and security in Africa. Consequently, the AU Constitutive Act norms which seem to provide for a unilateral right to intervene of th…
