Basal ice formation in snow cover in Northern Finland between 1948 and 2016
2018
Abstract Basal ice formation in the terrestrial snow cover is a common phenomenon in northern circumpolar areas, one having significant impacts on ecosystems, vegetation, animals and human activities. There is limited knowledge on the spatial and temporal occurrence of basal ice formation because of the sparse observation network and challenges involved in detecting formation events. We present a unique dataset on the annual extent of ice formation events in northern Finland between 1948 and 2016 based on reindeer herders’ descriptions of the cold season in their management reports. In extreme years, basal ice can form over wide geographical extents. In approximately half of the herding dis…

Cupole in cemento armato in Sicilia occidentale nella prima metà del Novecento
2014
The paper intends to examine through three case studies the change introduced by the technology of reinforced concrete in the construction of domes. After a brief description of the geometric and architectural characteristics of reinforced concrete domes, the study focuses on three interventions, for which a considerable archival documentation was collected. Chronologically the first intervention is related to the construction of the dome of the mother-church of Bisacquino (1923-25), built on the basis of the architectural project and under the direction of the engineer Pietro Scibilia. The second concerns the reconstruction of the dome of Sant’Ignazio martire all'Olivella church in Palermo…
Non-voluntary unemployment in circuit analyses
1994
Studying unemployment is generally done in terms of market. In this type of analysis is not, however, easy to show compulsory redundancy. Furthermore, it's nowadays difficult to deny the existence of this kind of underemployment. According to the Keynesian theory it seems interesting to consider the analysis in terms of circulation. In this respect three outlines are in confrontation. If we accredit the idea of the building up of capital, compulsory redundancy could be explained by a deficit in the flow. Unfortunately, from a macroeconomic point of view this explanation cannot be accepted; if a product is not bought spontaneously, the sale of the product is implemented by force. The analysi…
Journey to the Centre of Europe
1998
De nombreuses institutions locales utilisent, dans de véritables opérations de marketing territorial, une analogie entre centre géographique et centre géométrique du cercle pour valoriser leur localisation. Il s'agit là d'une conception particulière et étroite d'une idée plus riche et plus insaisissable. Le concept de centre est une construction économique et sociale mais il repose sur certains principes consensuels : l'accessibilité, la concentration,l'inégalité, la relativité spatiale et temporelle et la subjectivité compte tenu de sa dimension symbolique. Définir un centre c'est d'abord borner un sous espace de référence. Représenter le centre économique par le centre d'un cercle nécessi…
The culinary act in everyday life : definition and pilot study
2017
International audience; Cooking at home, according to studies, newspapers and social networks, has become increasingly popular. This is in opposition with the reduction of time spent in culinary preparation. While health discourses advocate consumer responsibility and invite them to consume a more balanced diet, we question the place of cooking in everyday life in France. The culinary act is a cycle of actions that leads to the realization of the desired dish. It is an integral part of the food act. A cycle starts either when you find an idea or a recipe, or when selecting the ingredients. These actions are followed by the realization of the recipe, by technical means, and by conceptual and…
Violenza domestica e gravidanza. Conseguenze in fase prenatale e neonatale dell'Intimate Partner Violence
2015
La violenza assistita, ovvero l’assistere a qualsiasi forma di maltrattamento compiuto su figure di riferimento affettivamente significative per il bambino (CISMAI, 2005; Holden, 2003), puo manifestarsi in fase prenatale. La gravidanza e stata riconosciuta come uno dei periodi piu ad alto rischio per l’Intimate Partner Violence (Holden, 2003): il feto puo essere l’obiettivo diretto dell’attacco o subirne accidentalmente le conseguenze, a cominciare dagli effetti dello stato psicologico di terrore sperimentato dalla madre. Inoltre, numerosi studi evidenziano un effetto secondario di tale forma di violenza, legato all’influenza sulla percezione che le madri hanno della personalita e del tempe…
Apprendere la violenza. Effetti della violenza domestica sullo sviluppo di bambini e adolescenti
2014
Tra le numerose riflessioni degli autori sulle origini della violenza, di particolare interesse sono quelle relative alla sua trasmissione intergenerazionale. In particolare, uomini e donne coinvolti in Intimate Partner Violence sembrano aver sperimentato nelle loro famiglie d’origine abusi e maltrattamenti diretti o indiretti; quest’ultima circostanza e definita violenza assistita e riguarda qualsiasi forma di maltrattamento compiuto attraverso atti di violenza fisica, verbale, psicologica, sessuale ed economica su figure di riferimento o su altre figure affettivamente significative, adulte o minori, cui il bambino assiste. Tale condizione sembra rappresentare un precursore di difficolta c…
Finnish dairy farmers’ perceptions of justice in the transition to carbon-neutral farming
2022
Highlights • Finnish dairy farmers' perceptions of issues with carbon neutrality were examined. • Concerns include farming profitability, farmer blaming, and use of peatlands. • Public policy guidance is needed for carbon-neutral, sustainable agriculture. Environmental and political debate concerning the role of agriculture in sustainability has long been on the agenda. However, owing to climate change, an analysis of the transition to a low-carbon society must also be considered from the perspective of justice. Dairy farming, in particular, faces pressure in this context, when contemplating changing consumer behaviors and reduction in the carbon footprint of dairy products. Accordingly, ma…
Treatment of Combined Dairy and Domestic Wastewater with Constructed Wetland System in Sicily (Italy). Pollutant Removal Efficiency and Effect of Veg…
2021
Dairy wastewater (DWW) contains large amounts of mineral and organic compounds, which can accumulate in soil and water causing serious environmental pollution. A constructed wetland (CW) is a sustainable technology for the treatment of DWW in small-medium sized farms. This paper reports a two-year study on the performance of a pilot-scale horizontal subsurface flow system for DWW treatment in Sicily (Italy). The CW system covered a total surface area of 100 m2 and treated approximately 6 m3 per day of wastewater produced by a small dairy farm, subsequent to biological treatment. Removal efficiency (RE) of the system was calculated. The biomass production of two emergent macrophytes was dete…
