An Italian input–output model for the assessment of energy and environmental benefits arising from retrofit actions of buildings
2013
Abstract The paper presents an energy and environmental extended input–output model combined with the life cycle assessment, applied to assess the energy and environmental benefits arising from the Italian policy of tax deduction for energy retrofit actions of buildings. The study allowed to assess the advantages due to the above policy, taking into account both direct and indirect energy saving and avoided CO 2 emissions obtained with the retrofit actions and indirect energy consumption and related CO 2 emissions due to the realization of the above actions. Moreover, the authors defined an original model to assess the indirect rebound effect caused by the energy saving actions. The obtaine…
Transitioning towards a Sustainable Wellbeing Economy—Implications for Rural–Urban Relations
2021
This article focuses on the question of how a shift from a narrow economic perspective to a wider sustainable wellbeing focus in regional development strategies and actions might change rural–urban relations. A brief review of relevant research and discourses about economic development models provides the foundation for the analysis. The review leads to the development of an analytical framework that puts the notion of sustainable wellbeing at its center. The criteria included in the analytical framework are then used to assess the current situation, challenges and perceived ways forward based on data and analyses from 11 European regions. The focus of the analysis is on different exp…
Datos sobre las tiledas ibéricas (Tilio-Acerion Klika 1955)
2008
Se aportan datos sobre las tiledas ibéricas, que se agrupan en tres asociaciones fitosociológicas dentro de la alianza Tilio-Acerion: Hedero-Tilietum platyphylli (pirenaica y prepirenaica), Helleboro occidentalis-Tilietum platyphylli (orocantábrica) y Ononido aragonensis-Tilietum platyphylli (oroibérica). En el seno de la primera se proponen dos nuevas subasociaciones: la típica, fraxinetosum excelsioris (pirenaica, silicícola, con estratos arbóreo y herbáceo muy ricos), y festucetosum gautieri (prepirenaica, calcícola y más pobre florísticamente), que pretenden explicar algunas variaciones observadas en su área de distribución. El nombre Ononido-Tilietum se propone como nuevo para remplaza…
STUDI TASSONOMICI SU ADENOSTYLES ALPINA (ASTERACEAE) IN ITALIA MERIDIONALE
Adenostyles Cass., è un genere endemico europeo, appartenente alla la tribù delle Senecioneae, e fa parte del cosidetto ‘gruppo Quadridentato’ insieme ai generi Caucasalia B. Nord., Dolichorrhiza (Pojark.) Galushko, Iranecio B. Nord. e Pojarkovia Askerova. Esso è prevalentemente distribuito in tutto il territorio alpino, ma il suo areale si estende anche alla Spagna settentrionale, Corsica (Francia) e lungo tutta la catena appenninica in Italia, comprese le montagne della Calabria e della Sicilia, Balcani e, dubitativamente, in Grecia. Nel presente studio vengono presentati i risultati sugli studi tassonomici effettuati sui taxa appartenenti al gruppo di Adenostyles alpina (Asteraceae) pres…

Red List of vascular plants of Tajikistan – the core area of the Mountains of Central Asia global biodiversity hotspot
2020
AbstractCentral Pamir-Alai, which is located almost entirely within the area of Tajikistan, is one of the world hotspots of biodiversity, harbouring ca. 4,300 species and 1,400 endemic plants. The first application of the IUCN Red List criteria reveals that among all native species occurring in Tajikistan 1,627 taxa (38.11%) are threatened, including 23 extinct (0.54%), 271 (6.34%) critically endangered (CR), 717 (16.79%) endangered (EN) and 639 (14.96%) vulnerable (VU). Globally, 20 taxa are extinct, 711 (16.65%) threatened, including 144 (3.37%) critically endangered, 322 (7.54%) endangered and 245 (5.73%) vulnerable. As we found positive correlation between human density and the number o…
A Simple Fusion Method for Image Time Series Based on the Estimation of Image Temporal Validity
2015
High-spatial-resolution satellites usually have the constraint of a low temporal frequency, which leads to long periods without information in cloudy areas. Furthermore, low-spatial-resolution satellites have higher revisit cycles. Combining information from high- and low- spatial-resolution satellites is thought a key factor for studies that require dense time series of high-resolution images, e.g., crop monitoring. There are several fusion methods in the bibliography, but they are time-consuming and complicated to implement. Moreover, the local evaluation of the fused images is rarely analyzed. In this paper, we present a simple and fast fusion method based on a weighted average of two in…
John Ruskin, dal restauro come distruzione al ripristino filologico
2019
Contrariamente a quanto si crede comunemente, l'influenza del pensiero di John Ruskin sull'evoluzione del concetto di restauro in Italia è stata maggiore di quanto possiamo immaginare. La maggior parte dei giudizi sulle teorie dello studioso inglese fanno riferimento al suo lavoro 'Le Sette Lampade dell'Architettura' del 1849, e in particolare al capitolo della 'Lampada della Memoria'. La citazione delle sue famose massime è alla base di ogni valutazione sulla sua completa avversione a qualsiasi possibile forma di restauro. Il noto aforisma «restauro è una bugia dall'inizio alla fine», vale a dire la distruzione più completa che un'architettura possa subire, può confermare che il giudizio d…
La enseñanza monumentalista y utilitarista de las causas de la biodiversidad y de las estrategias para su conservación: un estudio sobre la transposi…
2015
Este trabajo estudia la presencia y complejidad en el tratamiento de las causas de la biodiversidad y de las razones para su conservación que realizan manuales escolares de la Educación Secundaria de España. Para ello, se determinó el ámbito conceptual y axiológico que define la comunidad de expertos, se examinó el tratamiento propuesto en el currículo español y se analizaron 50 manuales escolares (27 de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria –ESO – y 30 del Bachillerato). Los resultados mostraron que el proceso de transposición didáctica vuelve monumentalista la enseñanza de la biodiversidad, ya que olvida las razones de su existencia, y se enriquece de connotaciones biologicistas y utilitari…
