Biodiverse green roofs in Mediterranean climate. Input and lessons learned from Germany and Switzerland
In the realm of the doctoral program in technologies for sustainability and land restoration, this thesis deepens sustainable and ecological solutions for Mediterranean environment after the German tradition and the Swiss school of green roofs for biodiversity. Specific aims were to: (1) assess the effectiveness of the existing green roofs norms in supporting biodiversity; (2) review methodologies and approaches for the implementation of biodiverse green roofs but also their application for ecological design; (3) identify habitat templates in the Mediterranean ecoregion replicable on green roofs; and (4) investigate the long term vegetation development of unmanaged green roofs in order to g…
Comprehensive analysis of interacting proteins and genome-wide location studies of the Sas3-dependent NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex
2014
Highlights • We characterise Sas3p and Gcn5p active HAT complexes in WT and deleted TAP-strains. • We confirm that Pdp3p interacts with NuA3, histones and chromatin regulators. • Pdp3p MS-analysis reveals its phosphorylation, ubiquitination and methylation. • Sas3p can substitute Gcn5p in acetylation of histone H3K14 but not of H3K9. • Genome-wide profiling of Sas3p supports its involvement in transcriptional elongation.
Rewilding Language Education: Emergent Assemblages and Entangled Actions
2021
Integrating concepts and techniques from ethnomethodology and sociomaterialism, this article investigates the observable material processes involving human action and place‐based contexts of language use enabled by locative media. The focal pedagogical intervention utilized mobile augmented reality (AR) activities, the development of which was inspired by research on learning ‘in the wild.’ Applying the principle of reverse engineering, we introduce a pedagogical approach termed ‘rewilding’ for its emphasis on designing supportive conditions for goal‐directed interaction outside of classrooms. Three instances of AR materials use are presented from an out‐of‐class activity associated with un…
Nomadtown, Manifesting the Global Village Hypothesis: A Case Study of a Rural Resilience Hub Within an Educational Milieu in North Karelia, Finland
2022
Artikkelissa esitellään NomadTown, joka on hätätilojen ennakointiin, torjuntaan ja sopeutumiseen sekä myönteisten vaikutusten tuottamiseen toimintansa perustava “resilienssihubi”. Artikkelissa hahmotellaan NomadTowniin kehittyneen alakulttuurin koulutuksellista taustaa ja tehdään syvällinen kuvaus NomadTownia ympäröivästä yhteiskunnasta oppimisen paikkana. Tämä kontekstuaalisointi nojaa tietoisuuteen dispositiivista Foucault'n tarkoittamassa mielessä. Tekstissä arvioidaan yhdistysten yhteiskuntaekologian, jonka puitteisiin tämä resilienssikeskus on asettumassa, soveltuvuutta ilmastonmuutoksen torjunnan edellyttämään suureen yhteiskunnalliseen transitioon. Lisäksi arvioidaan kuinka verkostom…
PIANTE ERBACEE SPONTANEE DELLA CITTA’ DI PALERMO: ASPETTI ECOLOGICI, AGRONOMICI E APPLICATIVI
AGGIORNAMENTO SULLA DISTRIBUZIONE DEL SUCCIACAPRE Caprimulgidae) IN SICILIA CAPRIMULGUS EUROPAEUS (Aves
2021
Caprimulgus europaeus In recent years Update on the distribution of breeding Nightjar in Sicily. there have been numerous observations of Nightjar in areas where it had never previously been observed. In some cases the reason may be a deeper exploration, but in other cases the possible explanation is the expansion of the species. However, it is quite interesting the change in the habitat by this species. The present paper provides an update of its status based on data collected in the fifteen years following the publication of the last Sicilian Atlas of breeding birds.
Pioniere. Abitare territori in contrazione
2022
Partendo da una difficoltà che è quella di dare un nome a dimensioni che non hanno chiara definizione, il testo introduce il lavoro di indagine e di progetto sviluppato durante e in seguito al Laboratorio del Cammino 2022. In questa occasione si sono attraversati i territori in contrazione delle province di Biella e Torino e lo sguardo è stato rivolto ai/alle pionieri/e (umani e non) capaci di abitare un territorio alle volte ostile ma ricco di nuove possibilità. Starting from the effort needed to name realities that have no clear definition, the contribution introduces the field research and project work developed during and after the "Laboratorio del Cammino", 2022. On this occasion, terr…
Inselvatichimento
2022
Osservare i territori in contrazione attraverso la pratica del cammino, permette di esperire le sfumature che caratterizzano questi territori posti ai margini: in questo contributo si osserva la dimensione dell'inselvatichimento. Che si tratti di aree urbane dismesse, di aree rurali non più coltivate o di aree montane troppo complesse per rispondere alla competitività produttiva di territori più accessibili, nel momento in cui l'essere umano rallenta i processi di continua trasformazione del suolo e dei significati, il selvatico si riappropria degli spazi dimenticati. Si propone così uno sguardo sulle diverse realtà in cui il selvatico ri-appare e si prova a considerarlo come un nuovo sogge…
Polyphenols and Pharmacological Screening of a Monarda fistulosa L. dry Extract Based on a Hydrodistilled Residue By-Product
2021
This study aimed to determine the composition and content of polyphenols in the dry extract obtained from the hydrodistilled residue by-product of the wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa L., Lamiaceae Martinov family) herb (MFDE) and to evaluate its safety and pharmacological properties. The total phenolic content (TPC) in the MFDE was 120.64 mg GAE/g. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed the presence of a plethora of phenolic compounds, including hydroxycinnamic acids and flavone derivatives in the MFDE, with rosmarinic acid and luteolin-7-O-glucoside being the main components. With an IC50 value of 0.285 mg/mL, it was found to be a strong DPPH radical scavenger. …
Pasaules Dabas fonda (World Wildlife Fund) sociālo reklāmas kampaņu vizuālo statisko reklāmu semiotiskā un auditorijas analīze (2010-2014)
2016
Bakalaura darba „„Pasaules Dabas fonda” (World Wildlife Fund) sociālo reklāmas kampaņu vizuālo statisko reklāmu semiotiskā un auditorijas analīze (2010 – 2014)” ietvaros tiek pētītas semiotiskās iezīmes šīs organizācijas reklāmās, kā arī auditorijas attieksme pret tām. Darba pētījuma mērķis – noskaidrot reklāmu vēstījumu ietekmējošos semiotiskos faktorus. Darbā ir apskatītas teorijas par sociālo mārketingu, reklāmu, vizuālo komunikāciju. Empīriskajā daļā ir veikta kontentanalīze un semiotiskā analīze par 88 vizuālajām statiskajām reklāmām, kā arī auditorijas aptauja. Rezultātā sniegtas atbildes uz pētnieciskajiem jautājumiem un izdarīti secinājumi par pētījuma rezultātiem.
