I beni confiscati come nuovo spazio pubblico

2014

Nel territorio a nord-est di Palermo la criminalità organizzata, in molte occasioni, ha condizionato il potere politico e amministrativo e inciso su valori e abitudini collettive, esercitando unʼinfluenza determinante nellʼespansione periurbana e nella conseguente trasformazione del paesaggio agrario. Alcuni dei principali centri oggetto della ricerca hanno governato il territorio sotto il controllo sistematico della mafia rendendo necessario lʼintervento dello Stato. Esaminare i rapporti tra amministrazioni locali e Cosa nostra in quei luoghi permette di individuare ricorrenze criminali nella gestione dei beni collettivi e di concentrare lʼattenzione sulle proprietà confiscate. In the nort…

Clientelismo e metodo mafioso: network Criminali e pubblica amministrazione in Sicilia

2011

Quale relazione lega clientelismo e mafia? Quali elementi accomunano crimine dei potenti e metodo mafioso? Come si strutturano i sistemi criminali nelle realtà locali? Il saggio presenta una selezione ragionata di studi sulle relazioni tra clientelismo e mafia (par. 1) e sulle reti che si configurano nell’interconnessione tra sistemi criminali e pubblica amministrazione (par. 2). Tali studi permettono di leggere tanto fenomeni storici, come i comitati d’affari che asservivano i poteri pubblici nella Palermo degli anni Cinquanta (par. 3), tanto fenomeni più recenti, come quelli che, dal 1991 in poi, rientrano nella fattispecie dei Comuni e degli enti locali commissariati per infiltrazioni ma…

On the hydro-mechanical behaviour of remoulded and natural Opalinus Clay shale

2016

The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the difficulties in retrieving intact samples, remoulded shale specimens are often adopted for hydro-mechanical testing. Remoulded and intact shales may substantially differ in their hydro-mechanical behaviour due to the particular structure of the natural material, which is the result of diagenesis and burial history. This paper presents an experimental campaign aimed at (i) characterizing the role of diagenesis and depth for Opalinus Clay s…

From fringe to fringe: the shift from the clericalist League of Polish Families to the anticlericalist Palikot Movement 2001–2015

2017

The period between 2001 and 2015 brought two events in Poland that deserve to be called phenomena. In 2001 the rightist, clericalist League of Polish Families entered the Sejm. Ten years later, the leftist, anticlericalist Palikot Movement achieved spectacular success in the 2011 elections. These events give a picture of a radical shift in the Polish political scene: a rightist clericalist party disappeared from the right flank of the political scene, while a new, leftist-anticlericalist formation appeared. The article makes reference to a set of five explanations on both the causes and consequences (and permanence) of the observed changes. I argue that only a concurrence of a number of com…

4D paleoenvironmental evolution of the Early Triassic Sonoma Foreland Basin (western USA)

2017

In the wake of the Mesozoic, the Early Triassic (~251.95 Ma) corresponds to the aftermath of the most severe mass extinction of the Phanerozoic: the end-Permian crisis, when life was nearly obliterated (e.g., 90% of marine species disappeared). Consequences of this mass extinction are thought to have prevailed for several millions of years, implying a delayed recovery lasting the whole Early Triassic, if not more. Several paradigms have been established and associated to a delayed biotic recovery scenario expected to have resulted from harsh and deleterious paleoenvironments. These paradigms include a global anoxia in the marine realm, a “Lilliput” effect, and the presence of “disaster” tax…

Lasten kotihoito ja sen taloudellinen tukeminen: kunnallisten luottamushenkilöiden näkökulma

2019

Artikkelissa kysytään, miten lasten kotihoidosta ja sen tukemisesta keskustellaan paikallisesti. Kun-nat tuottavat lasten kotihoidon merkityksellistämiselle erityisen kontekstin. Kunnat vastaavat niin varhaiskasvatuspalvelujen järjestämisestä kuin lasten kotihoidon tuen rahoittamisesta kuitenkin niin, että oikeus kotihoidon tukeen syntyy palveluun kytkeytyvän oikeuden käyttämättä jättämisestä. Analyysi pohjautuu 32 kunnallisen luottamushenkilön haastatteluun. Haastattelut toteutettiin kym-menessä kunnassa keväällä 2016. Analyysi paikantaa aineistosta kehysanalyysin keinoin kaksi lasten kotihoitoa merkityksellistävää tulkintakehystä: talous-rationaalisen ja kulttuuris-normatiivisen tul-kinta…

The geography of Spanish bank branches

2014

This article analyzes the determinants of bank branch location in Spain taking the role of geography explicitly into account. After a long period of intense territorial expansion, especially by savings banks, many of these firms are now involved in merger processes triggered off by the financial crisis, most of which entail the closing of many branches. However, given the contributions of this type of banks to limit financial exclusion, this process might exacerbate the consequences of the crisis for some disadvantaged social groups. Related problems such as new banking regulation initiatives (Basel III), or the current excess capacity in the sector add further relevance to this problem. We…

Kinetic properties of hexameric tyrosinase from the crustacean Palinurus elephas.

2008

Tyrosinases catalyze hydroxylation of monophenols to o-diphenols and their subsequent oxidation to o-quinones, whereas catecholoxidases catalyze only the latter reaction. Both enzymes occur in all organisms and are Type 3 copper proteins that perform the first steps of melanin formation. In arthropods, they play an essential role in the sclerotization of the exoskeleton. Very few phenoloxidases are characterized structurally or kinetically and the existence of an actual tyrosinase activity has not been demonstrated in most cases. Here we present for the first time a complete kinetic characterization of a tyrosinase from a crustacean (Palinurus elephas) including the influence of inhibitors.…
