Landscape metrics and topographical determinants of large-scale forest dynamics in a Mediterranean landscape
No full textThe analysis of land-use and land-cover change has long been a key topic in Landscape Ecology. In particular, forest fragmentation is known to affect species composition and diversity, thus threatening the integrity of forest habitats. This paper examines the forest cover dynamics in a Mediterranean area (the Province of Siena, central Italy), by comparing historical (1933) and recent forest maps (2000). The historical map has been geo-referenced, digitised in a GIS environment, and classified in three forest classes: broad-leaved, conifer and mixed forests. The same classification was used for the recent forest map. Image processing techniques and landscape pattern metrics were applied to quantify the changes in forest cover patterns, while appropriate statistical descriptors were adopted to investigate the relationship between land-cover changes and topographical factors. A general afforestation process was detected in the investigated area over the period 1933-2000, resulting in a high landscape transformation overall considering zones with higher elevation and slope. The forest landscape structure changed in terms of decreased fragmentation and patchiness. The general trend observed in this area was in line with previous results achieved in similar ecological situations, thus reinforcing the need to link landscape change patterns with appropriate management decisions

Understanding Russian Hybrid Warfare against Europe in the energy sector and in the future ‘energy-resources-climate’ security nexus.
No full textTo avoid escalations to full kinetic (military) wars is imperative to win the non-kinetic part of the so-called “hybrid warfare”, which use both kinetic and non-kinetic methods. The goal of the non-kinetic methods of hybrid warfare, or as others call it “grey zone” activities, or “subthreshold” tactics, is to defeat hearts and minds, as well as pockets, of adversaries, with social, political, and economic tools. This article focuses on energy as the crucial sector of the economic tools, and specifically uses an innovative approach, what the author calls the ‘energy-resources-climate security nexus’, as a new battleground for future strategic competition and hybrid warfare between Europe, Russia and other rivals.
Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine Putin engaged Europe with non-military hybrid warfare. The hybrid warfare tactics employed by Russia especially in the energy sector have posed challenges the EU and NATO, who were unprepared but two organizations showed resilience and adaptation, starting to fight back. The problem is not only the Western dependence on Russian energy but also how the green transition pushed by climate change, that could be exploited with hybrid warfare. In the future is important to increase NATO-EU cooperation to fight other rivals too, like China, that could use new hybrid threats, especially because of the energy transition
Grounding systems under surge conditions: comparison between a field model and a circuit model
No full textLe Muse dei Bonarelli. Il teatro di Prospero e l'eredità di Guidubaldo
No full textIl contributo prende in esame le modalità con le quali Prospero Bonarelli (1588-1659) diedi inizio alla sua carriera letteraria e teatrale mettendo a frutto il prestigio derivante dalla fama di suo fratello Guidubaldo (1563-1608), autore della celebre favola pastorale Filli di Sciro. Come attraversamento tematico di carattere preliminare, l’articolo si apre prendendo in esame le modalità con le quali Prospero tematizza la continuità tra la sua produzione letteraria e quella del fratello nel suo epistolario e in due testi in particolare: l’Introduzione Alle Opere di Guidubaldo da lui stesso curate e nella supplica a Ferdinando II, il cui testo è pubblicato in appendice. Nelle restanti pagine il saggio si articola in tre parti. Nella prima parte l’autore ricostruisce le vicende della famiglia Bonarelli tra il 1575 e il 1655; nella seconda parte analizza come Prospero amministrò l’eredità letteraria del fratello, tra le scene e la tipografia, in un periodo compreso tra il 1608, data di morte di Guidubaldo, e il 1612; nella parte conclusiva si sofferma sulle modalità con le quali Prospero mise a frutto la rete di contatti ereditata dal fratello in occasione del suo esordio in veste di autore teatrale con il Solimano.The essay provides an analysis of how Prospero Bonarelli (1588-1659) started his literary and theatrical career taking advantage of the fame of his brother Guidubaldo (1563-1608), author of the famous pastoral play Filli di Sciro. As an introduction to such an argument the essay studies how Prospero represented his relationship with the “heritage” of his brother in his letters and in two different texts: the Introduction to the edition of Guidubaldo’s Works he edited and a petition to the Duke of Tuscany Ferdinando II, a document which is here published as an appendix. The rest of the essay is divided into three parts. In the first part the author provides a reconstruction of the history of Bonarelli’s family in the years from 1575 to 1655; in the second part he studies how Prospero managed, both metaphorically and practically, the heritage of manuscripts and fame his brother provided him from 1608 (the year of Guidubaldo’s death) to 1612; in the third and last part he shows how Prospero used the network of friends and patrons “inherited” by his brother in order to promote his first theatrical work, the tragedy Solimano
Dalla letteratura alla storia. L’edizione di Percy S. Allen dell’Opus epistolarum Desideri Erasmi Roterodami
No full textABSTRACT This article aims to discuss the ecdotic choices and the impact of Percys S. Allen’s scholar edition of the complete letters by Erasmus (1906-1958), a seminal enterprise in the field of Renaissance studies. The Opus epistolarum (named after the most important book of letters published by Erasmus himself in 1529) was conceived as the definitive edition of all the letters written by, and sent to, the Dutch humanist. That goal implied a radical change in the arrangements followed by previous editors and the choice of mixing the letters published during Erasmus’ lifetime with those unpublished, taken from different sources (manuscripts and later editions). Allen’s edition is indeed based on the assumption that Erasmus’ letters should be considered not as pieces of literature but «recognised as one of the best sources for the history of his age». Such an idea inspired the commentary to the letters, the core of the edition itself and the starting point for a new and deeper study of Erasmus’ life and work that eventually made the enterprise of the ASD possible. Such an attitude towards this epistolary corpus, thought, could run the risk of underestimating the impact on Erasmus’ own rework of the letters he published, leading to a simplistic use of them as source of information. In the last part of the essay, the author discusses the case of Petrarch’s letters, with a comparison between the Opus epistolarum and Vittorio Rossi’s edition of the Familiares
