Tillage Versus No-Tillage. Soil Properties and Hydrology in an Organic Persimmon Farm in Eastern Iberian Peninsula

2020

There is an urgent need to implement environmentally friendly agriculture management practices to achieve the Sustainable Goals for Development (SDGs) of the United Nations by 2030. Mediterranean agriculture is characterized by intense and millennia-old tillage management and as a consequence degraded soil. No-Tillage has been widely examined as a solution for soil degradation but No-Tillage relies more on the application of herbicides that reduce plant cover, which in turn enhances soil erosion. However, No-Tillage with weed cover should be researched to promote organic farming and sustainable agriculture. Therefore, we compare Tillage against No-Tillage using weed cover as an alternative …

Fallimento dell’utilizzatore e disciplina applicabile alla risoluzione del leasing

2021

Le Sezioni Unite della Cassazione, sollecitate da un’ordinanza di rimessione dell’anno passato, intervengono a composizione del contrasto giurisprudenziale a proposito di una questione di diritto intertemporale in materia di leasing. La Corte si pronuncia sull’individuazione della disciplina applicabile agli effetti della risoluzione del contratto a causa dell’inadempimento dell’utilizzatore, nell’ipotesi di successivo fallimento del medesimo. Il contributo ricostruisce gli orientamenti dottrinali e giurisprudenziali sul punto e si sofferma su alcuni profili problematici sollevati dalla pronuncia.

Problemas sobre legitimación activa en la reparación del daño por fallecimiento

2019

El fallecimiento de una persona, en cuanto imputable a otra, genera responsabilidad. Sin embargo, ha sido objeto de debate doctrinal y jurisprudencial quién puede, en cada caso, reclamar la reparación derivada el perjuicio causado por tal fallecimiento. Se entremezclan a este respecto cuestiones que tienen que ver con la distinta terminología y planteamiento de las normas aplicables, según que haya o no responsabilidad civil derivada de delito; y también con la posible aplicación al caso del Derecho sucesorio. A continuación, se da cuenta de las soluciones jurisprudenciales y doctrinales sobre las cuestiones planteadas.

Fear of falling and coexisting sensory difficulties as predictors of mobility decline in older women

2012

Background. Mobility decline, the coexistence of several sensory difficulties and fear of falling (FOF) are all common concerns in older people; however, knowledge about the combined effect of FOF and coexisting sensory difficulties on mobility is lacking. Methods. Data on self-reported FOF, difficulties in hearing, vision, balance, and walking 2 km were gathered with a structured questionnaire among 434 women aged 63–76 years at baseline and after a 3-year follow-up. Logistic regression models were used for analyses. Results. Every third participant reported difficulties in walking 2 km at baseline. In cross-sectional analysis, the odds ratio for difficulties in walking 2 km was higher amo…

Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Throughout our working carrier we have met youth who had dropped out from upper secondary school with that consequence that they stand without work or education. We wish to approach the phenomenon dropouts from the perspective of the youth, here boys, to try to find out more about how they think of their own possibilities. This study is part of a research project at the University of Agder and represents a contribution to the research group “Ung i Sør”. The purpose of this study is to increase understanding around how boys explain the causes behind their choice to dropout and what they express can contribute to returning t…

Contingent Convertible Bonds for Sovereign Debt Risk Management

2018

Abstract We consider convertible bonds that contractually stipulate payment standstill, contingent on a market indicator of a sovereign’s credit worthiness breaching a distress threshold. This financial innovation limits ex ante the likelihood of debt crises and imposes ex post risk sharing between creditors and the debtor. Drawing from literature on contingent contracts, neglected risks, and bank CoCo, we extend prevailing arguments in favor of sovereign CoCo (S-CoCo). We discuss issues relating to their design: which market trigger, market discipline and sovereign incentives, and errors of false alarms or missed crises, and provide supporting evidence with eurozone data and a simple simul…

Data from: Climate determinants of breeding and wintering ranges of lesser kestrels in Italy and predicted impacts of climate change

2017

Climate warming would theoretically create conditions for the breeding range expansion of pseudo-steppe Mediterranean and long-distance migrant species and provide the possibility for these to overwinter in the same breeding areas. However, contemporary changes in rainfall regimes might have negative effects on the climate suitability and in turn, shrink species potential range. The lesser kestrel Falco naumanni is highly sensitive to rainfall oscillations and has recently extended its Italian breeding range towards northern latitudes and increasing its wintering records. We modelled the effects of temperature and rainfall on current and future climate suitability for lesser kestrels in bot…

Orthostatic hypotension and health outcomes: an umbrella review of observational studies

2019

To investigate potential relationships between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and negative health outcomes and mortality, through an umbrella review with integrated meta-analyses. Orthostatic hypotension is significantly associated with several negative outcomes in older people, but a suggestive evidence is available only for higher risk of coronary heart disease congestive heart failure, stroke, falls dementia, and all-cause mortality. Orthostatic hypotension seems to be significantly associated with several negative health outcomes in older people, even if only associations with coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, falls, dementia, and all-cause mortality are supported …
