La chiesa e il convento di San Domenico a Cagliari nel XVI secolo.
Questa ricerca riguarda il convento di San Domenico a Cagliari e la riforma della fabbrica attuata nel corso del Cinquecento. Fondato nel borgo di Villanova nel versante est del castello di Cagliari nella seconda metà del XIII secolo, il convento di San Domenico raggiunse la sua massima espansione a partire dagli anni sessanta del XVI secolo, in seguito probabilmente all’introduzione nel convento della riforma domenicana. Le riforme spirituali e materiali del convento fecero parte di più vasto movimento di rinnovamento che coinvolse su larga scala il panorama sardo nel secondo Cinquecento, dovuto a molteplici fattori tra cui il riformismo monarchico di Filippo II e le riforme religiose avvi…
Olive oil intake and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the PREDIMED Study
2014
[Background] It is unknown whether individuals at high cardiovascular risk sustain a benefit in cardiovascular disease from increased olive oil consumption. The aim was to assess the association between total olive oil intake, its varieties (extra virgin and common olive oil) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk.
Modes of Religiosity in Iberian Iron Age Caves: Religious Behaviour and Sensorial Experience
2021
The Iberian Iron Age caves are defined as a specific model of sacred space. First, from a territorial perspective, they are identified as liminal spaces where the collective participation, integration and the sense of belonging is reinforced. And secondly, as multisensory contexts, where different ritual practices, highly symbolised, are performed. These spheres, cut off from the well-known and daily scenarios boost the sensory hypersensitivity, strengthened by the connection between the senses and the natural scenario. This paper is guided by the theory of religiosity modes, developed by H. Whitehouse, with the purpose of a better understanding of the ritual practices that were carried out…
Simbiosi fra passato e contemporaneità nel recupero delle architetture
2012
Oggigiorno, vi è la possibilità di ottenere il recupero della memoria e l'identità di una città, analizzando l'efficienza degli interventi e l'efficacia dei risultati. Partendo da una metodologia di ricerca sperimentale è possibile definire e migliorare l'ambiente costruito, sia antico che contemporaneo. Riconosciamo la necessità di un rinnovato impegno alle questioni poste dalla città contemporanea per immaginare e prefigurare nuovi scenari di “costruibilità” che tengano conto dell’efficienza energetica. Nowdays, there is the possibility to obtain the recovery of the memory and the identity of a city, considering to achieve efficiency and effectiveness of the results. Starting with an over…
Carbon stocks in a 50‑year‑oldEucalyptus camaldulensisstand in Sicily, Italy
2015
Eucalyptus stands in semi-arid areas may contribute to enhance carbon (C) stocks in both biomass and soil. However, the limited information available is mainly focused on short-rotation plantations. In this study, the above- and below-ground C pools in five 50-year-old Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. stands planted on Miocenic evaporitic deposits in Sicily, Italy, with a xeric and thermic pedoclimate, were measured. Above-ground biomass was determined by partitioning and weighing branches, stem and leaves. Below-ground C pools included the determination of litter, root biomass, and soil organic and inorganic C. In terms of the above-ground biomass, the E. camaldulensis stand accumulated on …
SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PERSPECTIVES
2020
In December 2019, a disease caused by a novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2. At the end of May 2020, SARS-CoV-2 confirmed cases and deaths due to novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were about 6.5 million and 380,000, worldwide. In this commentary the authors argue on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in different epidemiological settings within the Mediterranean area, discussing any possible association with higher or lower virus spread according to climatic factors, pollutants, characteristics of general population, and organi…

Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs
2015
Effective ecosystem-based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how threats affect different components within ecosystems and ultimately alter ecosystem functioning. We used a case study of a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) food web and expert knowledge elicitation in an application of the initial steps of a framework for assessment of cumulative human impacts on food webs. We produced a conceptual seagrass food web model, determined the main trophic relationships, identified the main threats to the fo…
Germination Pattern of Chamaerops humilis Seed after Short-Time Storage
2015
Dwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis) plays an important ecological role in the thermo Mediterranean vegetation stage, both in woodlands, xerophitic shrub communities and degraded ecosystems. Dwarf fan palm is typically propagated from seeds. Whereas other palm species show reduced germination after few months of seed storage, no information is available on the effects of storage time on seed germinability . We examined the germination pattern of dwarf palm seeds aged after a storage of four, six or eight months in comparison to fresh seed (control). A covariance analysis was performed to test the effect of time within seed-storage treatment. The germination patterns were significantly fitted…
