Modelling the relationship between sexual reproduction and rhizome growth in Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile
2006
The relationship between flowering and growth performance of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile in meadows distributed along the south-eastern coast of Sicily (Italy) was investigated by means of a statistical model (generalized linear mixed model) combined with the lepidochronological analysis. Over a 28-year period, 67 floral stalk remains were observed. The highest flowering index was recorded in lepidochronological year 1998 (10.1%) and the Inflorescence Frequency per age showed a clear decrease corresponding to 15-year-old shoots. The sexual reproductive event had positive effects on rhizome elongation (cm year−1) and leaf production (no. leaves year−1) in the same flowering year, whilst n…
Fluctuating asymmetry and sexual performance in the drumming wolf spider Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata
2003
Recently, there has been much interest in estimating fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of morphological traits as a short-cut measure of individual quality. FA deals with small differences around the symmetry value of zero. Thus, measurement error is often relatively large. However, repeated measurements. and large sample sizes allow reliable estimates of FA that can be corrected for errors. The purpose of this study was two-fold: at the biological level, we examined with a large sample size (N = 804) whether pedipalp FA could be used as a short-cut measure, of individual quality in the wolf spider Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata. This was done by estimating how strongly FA correlates with male sexual p…

Critical discourse analysis of the representation of victims and perpetrators of sexual violence in select US news articles
2016
Rikoksista uutisoidaan sanomalehdissä päivittäin. Uutisointi on merkittävä tekijä liittyen siihen, minkälainen kuva ihmisillä on rikosten uhreista, tekijöistä, ja rikollisuudesta ylipäänsä. Aiemmat tutkimukset ovat näyttäneet, että seksuaalirikoksista uutisoidessa käytetään usein niin kutsuttuja raiskausmyyttejä, jotka ovat stereotyyppisiä ja osin virheellisiäkin toistuvia tapoja kuvata niin seksuaalirikosten uhreja kuin tekijöitäkin. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa perehdyn kuuden yhdysvaltalaisen uutisartikkelin pohjalta siihen, miten seksuaalirikosten uhreja ja tekijöitä kuvataan, sekä siihen, mitä muita toistuvia diskursseja artikkeleista mahdollisesti nousee esille. Artikkelit ovat peräi…
La violenza sessuale di genere
2021
The article reconstructs the framework of criminal legislation on the protection of women, within the framework of the broadest gender protection, which in Italy has now reached a very advanced level. However, there is a lack of a norm on sexual harassment and it is emphasized that the application practice is not always consistent. In this regard, precisely from the point of view of the jurist and criminal lawyer, it is concluded that the laws are not enough, but a profound cultural change is needed.

Copioni sessuali
2016
«Il Sé, nel momento in cui diviene l’attore di una sceneggiatura [sessuale] diventa anche produttore di se stesso, gestisce risorse, investe in vantaggi a lungo termine e in liquidità a breve termine proprio quando diventa drammaturgo di se stesso». Il volume raccoglie una delle più recenti elaborazioni del primo e coerente approccio sociologico della sessualità di cui gli autori, John H. Gagnon e William Simon, sono fondatori, per la prima volta presentato al pubblico italiano. Pur «essendo» sessuali (ovvero disponendo di un corredo cromosomico, gonadico, genetico e biologico), gli individui diventano sessuali. Nasciamo all’interno di un contesto sociale che ci fornisce repertori culturali…
