Itseään rukoilevat koneet : kirjaimellistuvat kielikuvat scifirunoa rakentamassa

2022

Tässä artikkelissa analysoin kolmea suomalaista scifiaiheista runoa. Runot ovat Markku Paasosen "Kone", Veera Antsalon "Play" ja Tomi Sonsterin "Tettiläinen". Jokainen tieteisfiktiivinen maailma on rakennettu novumin ympärille. Novum on jokin ilmiö tai keksintö, joka eroaa kirjoittajan omasta todellisuudesta ja joka on selitetty tieteellisesti. Carl Malmgrenin mukaan novumit voidaan nähdä ekstrapolatiivisina novumeina, jotka on tehty venyttämällä jokin asia tekijän omasta todellisuudesta, sekä spekulatiivisina novumeina, jotka tuovat lukijan keskelle täysin uusia todellisuuden lakeja. Nämä kaksi novumin päätyyppiä perustuvat runouden kielikuviin. Ekstrapolatiivinen novum perustuu metonymiaa…

Testing an adapted beerkan infiltration run for a hydrologically relevant soil hydraulic characterization

2020

Abstract Literature raises doubts about the usability of infiltrometer methods to characterize soils in a hydrological perspective since these methods often yield excessively high infiltration rates or saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Ks, values. For a loam (AR) and a silty-clay (RO) soil, beerkan infiltration runs were adapted in the perspective to obtain usable soil data to predict rainfall partition into infiltration and rainfall excess. In particular, the initially nearly dry soil was sampled with different water volumes (15 or 30) and heights of water application (low, L, 0.03 m, and high, H, 1.5 m), and the BEST-steady algorithm was applied to determine sorptivity, S, and Ks. Th…

Turkey's bid for EU membership, contrasting views of public opinion, and vote choice. Evidence from the 2005 German federal election

2008

Abstract This paper examines the effects of attitudes toward Turkey's entry into the European Union on vote choice in the 2005 federal election in Germany. Building on prior research, the paper contrasts the elitist and the policy voting view. The evidence shows that citizens' opinions about Turkey's accession to the European Union do not merely reflect group-memberships and political predispositions. They also play a role in influencing voting behaviour with support of Turkey's entry raising the likelihood to vote for the SPD or the Greens while reducing the probability to cast a vote for right-wing parties, the CDU/CSU and the FDP. Finally, low educated voters are disproportionately susce…

Sémiotique et anthropologie des modernes. Une histoire de comptes à rendre

2017

Dans son projet d’anthropologie, Bruno Latour insiste à plusieurs reprises sur le décalage entre les pratiques des Modernes et le compte rendu officiel qu’ils en donnent. Cela devrait permettre de donner un tout autre sens à notre présent, et de devenir ce que nous avons toujours été, sans le savoir. Nous n’avons jamais été modernes. Et je crois que, pour permettre à la sémiotique de faire face à son évolution, c’est sans doute une telle attitude qu’on pourrait adopter, en passant du compte rendu « majeur » à un point de vue adéquat. Nous partirons donc de l’histoire « majeure » des Modernes et nous verrons que cette histoire est étroitement liée à la constitution même de la sémiotique, qui…

Connectivity assessment in Mediterranean vineyards using improved stock unearthing method, LiDAR and soil erosion field surveys

2018

The interaction between processes and landforms is accelerated in vineyards due to bare tilled soils that enhance splash, runoff, and erosion. Traditionally, in order to assess these processes, the stock unearthing method (SUM) is considered a useful methodology that uses the graft union of the vine plant as passive bio-indicator of the topsoil level changes. However, SUM assumes that the topography between the rows is planar when development of a model of the current micro-topography is performed. Thus, we consider that there is a need to develop a new methodology (ISUM: improved SUM) that, by adding new measurements in the inter-row areas (at least 3), allows inclusion of the absent micro…

The wettability of ash from burned vegetation and its relationship to Mediterranean plant species type, burn severity and total organic carbon content

2011

Abstract Immediately following a wildfire, a layer of ash and charred material typically covers the ground. This layer will gradually be reduced, being redistributed by rainfall, wind or animals, by partial dissolution and by incorporation into the soil. Ash can increase or decrease the post-fire runoff and erosion response, depending upon the soil and ash properties and the ash thickness. One aspect of ash that has remained unknown and which may affect the variability in the hydrological response of the burned soil is its wettability. This study examines the wettability of ash using the Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) test, its relationship with total organic carbon (TOC) content and co…

Soil erosion assessment on tillage and alternative soil managements in a Sicilian vineyard

2011

Mediterranean crops favour high erosion rates. Vineyards use to reach the highest soil and water losses due to the lack of vegetation cover. A topographical approach by means of the use of vineyards poles as fixed reference point as erosion markers allowed to quantify high and non-sustainable soil erosion rates on the Sicilian vineyards during 9 years. In order to develop strategies to control the soil losses, seven land management were selected and applied in a typical blanc wine grape vineyard located in southwestern Sicily. Comparable plots were managed traditionally using conventional tillage and alternatively using various cover crops: 1) Vicia faba; 2) Vicia faba and Vicia sativa; 3) …

A comprehensive analysis of Universal Soil Loss Equation-based models at the Sparacia experimental area

2020

Improving Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)‐based models has large interest because simple and reliable analytical tools are necessary in the perspective of a sustainable land management. At first, in this paper, a general definition of the event rainfall‐ runoff erosivity factor for the USLE‐based models, REFₑ = (QR)ᵇ¹(EI₃₀)ᵇ², in which QR is the event runoff coefficient, EI₃₀ is the single‐storm erosion index, and b₁ and b₂ are coefficients, was introduced. The rainfall‐runoff erosivity factors of the USLE (b₁ = 0 and b₂ = 1), USLE‐M (b₁ = b₂ = 1), USLE‐MB (b₁ ≠ 1 and b₂ = 1), USLE‐MR (b₁ = 1 and b₂ ≠ 1), USLE‐MM (b₁ = b₂ ≠ 1), and USLE‐M2 (b₁ ≠ b₂ ≠ 1) can be defined using REFₑ. Then t…
