Effect of the pasture, in different seasons, and of the ripening time on the Caciocavallo Palermitano cheese

2008

The Caciocavallo Palermitano cheese is made processing Cinisara cow milk, which shows very interesting qualitative characteristics (Bonanno et al., 2004). The aim of this research was to study the effect of the pasture, in different seasons, and of different ripening on the yield in cheese after 24 h and on the chemical composition of the Caciocavallo Palermitano cheese

Effect of the pasture on milk production from Cinisara cows over the seasons

2008

Cinisara is a Sicilian autochthonous breed of dairy cow and its milk is processed to make Caciocavallo cheese. The pasture is the basis of the diet during all the year, but its production is not continuous and homogenous, because of environmental constrains (Alabiso et al., 2005). The feeding integrations are concentrate, hay and or straw, and their quantities given to the animals are different during the year in relation to the pasture resources. The aim of this research was to study the effect of the pasture on milk production from Cinisara cows over the seasons

Comparing quality characteristics of “Caciocavallo Palermitano” cheese from traditional and intensive production systems

2009

The “Caciocavallo Palermitano” is a typical stretched curd (pasta filata) cheese, made mainly in the Palermo area, in the Western Sicily, from cow milk. The aim of this investigation was to verify the influence of the on-farm production system (traditional vs. intensive) on some qualitative characteristics of “Caciocavallo Palermitano” cheese, with particular regard to fatty acid (FA) profile. On June 2008, 1-month aged cheeses were sampled from 6 traditional farms (TRD) and 5 intensive farms (INT). In TRD farms, local cow breeds (Cinisara, Modicana or Siciliana) were fed pasture-based diet and cheeses were manufactured using artisanal wood tools by following the traditional technique. The …

Levels of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) and metals in European sea bass from fish farms in Italy

2012

The study evaluated the levels of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) and metals in the fillet of medium (468 ± 92 g) and large (708 ± 135 g) European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) from 11 Italian fish farms using different rearing systems. DL-PCB contamination was higher in fish grown in extensive coastal lagoons compared with intensive inland basins and intensive sea cages (28.5 vs. 9.13 and 13.1 pg Toxic Equivalents (TEQ)/g fat; P < 0.001). Copper concentrations were lower (0.810 vs. 0.993 and 1.071 mg/kg fw) and mercury was higher (0.025 vs. 0.006 and 0.003 mg/kg fw) (P < 0.001) in sea bass from extensive farms than from intensively farmed fish in inland or sea cage system…

Presentazione

2013

Il testo propone un articolato commento alle posizioni teoriche e alle linee di ricerca progettuale espresse da Michele Argentino, professore ordinario di Design a Palermo circa la necessità di riconquistare il ruolo sociale alla creatività individuale, riprendendosi il desiderio di diventare nuovamente "Homo Faber". Il testo inoltre presenta gli obiettivi della nuova collana scientifica - diretta dall'autrice - dal Titolo " Design e Contesti": intercettare ambiti di ricerca trasversali alle discipline del progetto, favorire gli intrecci tra idee progettuali e percorsi di innovazione socio-culturale, sviluppare nuove strategie produttive compatibili con i diversi aspetti della sostenibilità.

A Blockchain-based Platform for Positive Energy Districts

2022

The reduction of climate change effects (mitigation) is now mainly driven by the limitation of CO2 emissions which is currently becoming increasingly necessary and urgent to achieve. In this context, within the past Horizon 2020 program, the Urban Europe Joint Programming Initiative aimed to promote the development and deployment of at least 100 Positive Energy Districts by 2025. The latter are flexible, energy-efficient urban areas or groups of buildings that produce zero net CO2 emissions and actively manage annual renewable energy surplus production at the local or regional level. As they are connected to the electric power system, Positive Energy Districts have the ability to offer flex…

Inferring Business Rules from Natural Language Expressions

2014

This paper proposes a mapping technique for automatically translating rules expressed in a format based on natural language, i.e. Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR) standard, into production rules that can be executed by a computer (i.e. Rule engine). The proposed approach achieves a twofold purpose: on the one hand non IT skilled people (i.e. Domain expert) can effectively focus on business rules definition by using statements in natural language, and on the other hand the IT staff will have to manage business rules in a format ready to be executed by a rule engine. The main goal is to overcome some weaknesses in the software development process that could produce i…

Riflessioni a margine dell’ordinanza cautelare del 26 novembre 2021 del Tribunale di Gorizia: greenwashing tra concorrenza sleale e diritto del consu…

2022

La pubblicizzazione sul mercato di prodotti ecofriendly non di rado si è rivelata frutto di pratiche scorrette di c.d. greenwashing, ciò consistendo in ipotesi di concorrenza sleale capaci di alterare i sistemi competitivi del libero mercato e ledere il diritto dei consumatori all’acquisto consapevole. Simili atti sono oggi sanzionati ricorrendo ad inibitorie e a comunicazioni pubbliche in cui l’impresa infedele informa i propri consumatori circa l’ingannevolezza dei comportamenti posti in essere. In tale ambito, che in primo luogo interessa il settore agroalimentare, si inserisce l’ordinanza cautelare del 26 novembre 2021 del Tribunale di Gorizia. Il ricorso a disciplinari di produzione ba…

A Model of Goal Dynamics in Organizations: a case study

2009

The purpose of the present work is to build a suitable system dynamics model for goal dynamics in organizations, as proposed by Barlas & Yasarcan (2008). The proposed model does not bear any ambition of being exhaustive: the main objective of this paper is to propose a model of goal dynamics in which Goal Setting, Management by Objectives and Training are viewed as human resource practices able to enhance workers’ goal commitment, and therefore, improve organizational performance. In the first part of this paper, an analysis of the Goal Setting Theory and the role of goal setting practices, in bettering worker’s performance, are stressed. In the second part, a case-study, the causal loop an…
