Cristiani per il socialismo.: Un movimento fra fede e politica nell\u27Italia degli anni Settanta.
Get PDFL’articolo, attingendo a una serie di fonti di archivio in parte inedite, ricostruisce la storia del movimento dei Cristiani per il socialismo (cps) in Italia, soffermandosi in particolare sul nodo fede-politica. Nati in Cile, i cps si costituirono in Italia nel 1973, per iniziativa di cristiani di sinistra, provenienti dalle acli,dalla cisl, dalle Comunità di base, dai gruppi e dalle riviste della «contestazione cattolica», dalle Chiese evangeliche. L’articolo ripercorre le vicende dei cps dagli anni Settanta – referendum sul divorzio del 1974, elezioni del 1975 e del 1976, movimento del Settantasette – all’inizio degli anni Ottanta. Infine, mette afuoco l’esaurimento dell’esperienza e avanza alcune ipotesi sulla sua complessa natura, con un’attenzione particolare alla conflittualità interna fra militanti deipartiti della sinistra storica e della nuova sinistra, alla contraddizione mai pienamente sciolta fra fede e politica, alla crisi identitaria del movimento
Red wood Ants (Formica rufa-group) prefer mature pine forests in Variscan granite environments (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Get PDFWe used presence/absence data of 5,160 red wood ant nests (RWA; Formica polyctena) acquired in a systematic large-scale area-wide survey in two study areas (≈350 ha) in the Oberpfalz, NE Bavaria, Germany to explore for the first time the influence of variable (e.g., forest type, tree age) and quasi-invariant factors (e.g., tectonics, geochemical composition of the bedrock) on nest size and spatial distribution for Variscan granites. A combination of the forest type (mature pine-dominated forests (≈80–140 years) as main variable factor and the geochemical property of the Variscan granites with their high natural Radon potential and moderate heat production as main quasi-invariant factor could explain the high nest numbers in both study areas. In addition, the spatially clustered distribution patterns of the observed nests suggest a strong interaction between nests and their quasi-invariant environment, especially the directionality of the present-day stress field and the direction of the tectonically formed “Erbendorfer Line”. In general, such a combination of variable and quasi-invariant factors can be addressed as particularly favorable RWA habitats
Trapping methods and apparent commonness and rarity of small carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Leiodidae, Cholevinae)
Get PDFGeneralised trapping methods are often used for unbiased sampling of specific taxa or guilds. Two previously unpublished data sets on small carrion beetles from the Netherlands show strikingly different species abundance distributions, which probably are largely the result of methods capturing different aspects of beetle activity
Notes on Paratrichius Janson, 1881 inhabiting Hainan Island, with description of a new species and the definition of two new junior synonyms (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)
Get PDF
Nearly three decades ago two new species belonging to the genus Paratrichius Janson, 1881 were described from Hainan Island (SW China): Paratrichius papilionaceus Ma, 1990 and P. rufescens Ma, 1990. The present paper increases the number of Paratrichius species known from Hainan Island to four, with the description of a new species (P. pilosus Ricchiardi and Lu, n. sp.), and a new regional record for P. elegantulus (Moser, 1902), thus far known from N Indochina and continental SW China only. Additionally, Paratrichius papilionaceus Ma, 1990 is here proposed as junior synonym of Paratrichius marmoreus (Moser, 1902), described from northern Vietnam (n. syn.), and Paratrichius brevifolius Kobayashi and Fujioka, 2013, described from northern Vietnam, is here proposed as junior synonym of the above cited Paratrichius elegantulus (Moser, 1902) (n. syn.). Among the four Paratrichius species now listed from Hainan, two (P. pilous and P. rufescens) are very likely endemic to the island’s highlands, while other two inhabit the highlands of northern Vietnam, too
New and less known Orthoptera from biodiversity hotspots of Mozambique and Zambia (Tettigoniidae; Acrididae)
Get PDFThe study of a lot of specimens collected in Mozambique and Zambia by the African Naturalist Research Trust allowed to find out four new species, namely: Conocephalus (Anisoptera) maputensis n. sp. (from Mozambique), Eulioptera zambesiana n. sp. (from Zambia), Melidia pif n. sp. (from Zambia), and Plangia geroi n. sp. (from Zambia). Further eleven species are newly recorded from Zambia or Mozambique
New records of Adelidae from forested habitats of Calabria (South Italy) with an update of the Italian ckecklist (Lepidoptera: Adeloidea)
Get PDFAdelidae fauna of South Italy is poorly known. For example, the knowledge concerning this family in the Calabria region is very poor being the most recent record 107 years old. In this paper we reported original faunistic data for the Calabria region concerning eight species most of which new for the regional fauna and Nematopogon robertella (Clerck, 1759) new for the fauna of peninsular Italy. To the light of faunistic and taxonomic advances of recent years, the Italian checklist of this family was updated because of the discovery of taxa new to the science and new records that significantly modified the Italian range of some species. According to these recent additions, the Italian fauna of Adelidae is now composed by 34 species, but we found that some populations of South Italy deserve deep studies to ascertain their taxonomic status
Analysis of the local seismic response in the Strovolos Municipality (Nicosia District, Cyprus)
No full textLocal seismic response analysis and microzonation studies represent fundamental tools for assessment and mitigation of the seismic risk in urban areas and cultural heritage sites. In this work, in the framework of the H2020-RISE “STABLE - Structural stABLity risk assEsment” project, local seismic response analysis by an integrated approach was performed in Strovolos municipality located in the central part of the island of Cyprus, within the Nicosia District, built on the alluvial deposits of the Mesaoria plain and affected by medium-high regional seismic hazard. An assessment of the basic seismic hazard for different return periods was, firstly, performed by a combined probabilistic and deterministic approach. Then, the reconstruction of the engineering geological model of the subsoil, using available borehole logs, geotechnical test results and specific geological field survey was carried out; seismic ambient noise measurements, aimed to preliminarily identify areas with possible local amplification, were carried out as well. Finally, 1D numerical simulations, on seismostratigraphic columns representative of the engineering geological subsoil model, were performed through the software Strata to quantify the local seismic response of the site. The elastic response spectra obtained, for each analysed return period, showed a significant increase of the basic seismic motion which could be considered for possible interventions suitable to improve the buildings performance in the case of seismic shaking in the Strovolos settlement area
First record of two palearctic leafhoppers Euscelis ohausi and Euscelidius variegatus for the island of Crete, Greece (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
No full textThe island of Crete, due to the favorable temperate environmental conditions, is known for its high insect species biodiversity. In this contribution we report the occurrence of two cosmopolitan leafhoppers in Crete, Greece, Euscelis ohausi and Euscelidius variegatus, during systematic surveys for Auchenorrhyncha performed from 2017 to 2019. This study represents the first record of these leafhopper species for the island of Crete. Data on their distribution and bioecology on the island are included
Saproxylic weevils and edaphic beetles as indicators of environmental quality of relict forests in Piedmont lowlands
Get PDFSaproxylic weevils and edaphic beetles of some relict forests of north-western Italy were analysed to determine the role of the age of the forests, their isolation and the degree of naturalness of the patches within each forest on the composition of litter-associated communities. Ten species of saproxylic weevils were found. The communities showed variation among the various forests, and were mainly dependent on the age of the forest and their connectivity; the degree of naturalness did not influence species richness or abundance, but apparently had an effect on some more specialized taxa that were only present in the patches with highest degree of naturalness. No saproxylic weevils were found in a relatively recently established forest, demonstrating their difficulty in colonizing newly formed habitats isolated from other forests. The edaphic beetles (usually predators belonging to Carabidae and Staphylinidae) proved to be more abundant, and were also present in the recently established forest and occurred in a quite large numbers in some deteriorated patches. Saproxylic weevils and edaphic predatory beetles thus provide different information on the environmental quality of the forests
