Le impugnazioni dei provvedimenti del giudice tutelare in materia di amministrazione di sostegno
No full textL’articolo esamina il controverso problema delle impugnazioni dei provvedimenti del giudice tutelare in materia di amministrazione di sostegno su cui continuano ad esistere incertezze con riferimento alla competenza a decidere sul reclamo. Il presupposto di partenza è la natura del procedimento istitutivo dell’amministrazione di sostegno in base al principio che impone coerenza formale del gravame sostitutivo con la struttura del processo di primo grado. L’A. approda alla risoluzione della questione partendo dal dato normativo, attraverso l’analisi delle soluzioni giurisprudenziali lette in chiave critica.The article inquires into the scope of appellate jurisdiction in cases of supervision of guardianship judge decisions concerning support administrators’ activity, by considering the particular features of that legal institution. The Author tries to afford the solution of the procedural aspects of appellate remedies, starting from the provisions embodied in the disposition of the code of civil procedure analysed in light of judicial trends, while adopting a critical point of view
La definizione degli assetti economici tra i coniugi conseguenti alla rottura del matrimonio: l'esperienza inglese
No full textL’articolo offre un esame dei provvedimenti del giudice inglese in materia di definizione degli assetti economici tra i coniugi conseguenti al divorzio. In particolare viene messa in evidenza l’ampia discrezionalità di cui gode il giudice nell’adottare tali provvedimenti e nella valutazione dei criteri che il diritto inglese offre al riguardo. Si tratta di una discrezionalità che consente al giudice stesso di modulare i provvedimenti conseguenti alla rottura del matrimonio in relazione alle effettive circostanze della singola controversia e, conseguentemente, di addivenire ad una decisione il più possibile conforme a giustizia. Tutto ciò in assenza del presupposto della mancanza di mezzi adeguati che nel nostro sistema costituisce un ostacolo per dare ingresso al riconoscimento di una serie di situazioni meritevoli di piena considerazione al momento della dissoluzione del consorzio coniugale

An early Galerian fauna was collected in clay layers where the Jaramillo palaeomagnetic event was recognized. Cold periods are documented in the lower and upper part of the sequence, although in the latter the intense weathering caused by the development of a soil with tropical features precludes further investigations. The palynological data supported by sedimentological and palaeomagnetic evidence indicate that the sequence can be related to a large part of the Bavelian and part of the Menapian. In the middle part, where clay layers outcrop, two cool and humid phases are followed by colder and drier periods. Biological and geological evidence suggests that around 1My the basin of Colle Curti was probably located at an elevation of about 600 m
Segnalazione di mammiferi pleistocenici nell’area di Colfiorito (Appennino umbro-marchigiano) e valutazione della potenzialità del giacimento con metodi geofisici.
No full textThe paleontological deposits has yielded an assemblage of Hippopotamus antiquus, Dicerorhinus etruscus, Elephas sp. two cervid species, an equid, a quite evolved bovid and a hyenid. Their occurence suggest an age comprised between the uppermost Early Pleistocene and the lowermost Mid Pleistocene. from the palaecological poit of view, the assemblage seems to belong to a moist and open forest environment
A model for the Holocene extinction of the Mammal Megafauna in Ecuador
No full textThis paper presents the results of multidisciplinary research in the Ecuadorian coastal regions, with particular emphasis on the Santa Elena Peninsula. The new evidence, together with previous data gathered on the Ecuadorian cordillera during the last 12 years, allows us to formulate a model that accounts for most of the mammal megafauna extinction at the Pleistocene/Holocene transition. After the illustration of geomorphological and paleontological evidences of the area of the Santa Elena Peninsula (and other sites), and of a summary of the paleoclimatic data, the main results and conclusions of this work are: (1) Late Pleistocene mammal assemblages survived in the Ecuadorian coast until the Early Holocene sea level rise; (2) Prior to the extinction of most of the megafauna elements (mastodons, ground sloths, equids, sabre-tooth felids), the mammal communities at Santa Elena Peninsula comprise elements with differing habitat requirements, attesting conditions of high biological pressure; (3) At the El Cautivo site (Santa Elena Peninsula), we have discovered Holocene sediments containing the first known occurrences in Ecuador of lithic artifacts that are associated with mammal megafauna remains; (4) During the last 10,000 years, the coastal region of Ecuador underwent significant changes in vegetation cover. At the Pleistocene/Holocene transition the climate changed from very and conditions to humid conditions.
Our data indicates that the megafauna definitively abandoned the Cordillera areas around 12,000 yr Bp due to the increasing aridity, and subsequently migrated to coastal areas where ecological conditions still were suitable, Santa Elena Peninsula and mainly Amazonian areas 9 being typical. We conclude that the unusual high faunal concentrations and the change to dense vegetation cover (due to a rapid increase in precipitation in the lower Holocene) at 8000-6000 yr BP, caused the final collapse and extinction of most elements of the mammal megafauna. Vegetation cover in the area of Santa Elena should have been extensive, and even more so in the Guayas and Guayabamba valleys. The newly densely vegetated areas, and fluvial barriers, transformed the refugia into lethal traps for large animals already under biological stress. such as were mastodons, ground sloths and equids. Within the megafauna, only tapirs and artiodactyla (Cervidae and Camelidae) survived.
In our opinion, the most suitable model to justify the great crisis of the mammal megafauna at the Pleistocene/Holocene transition, also in areas out of Ecuador, must be mainly based on the three parameters: high aridity, high humidity and geographic factors.

The last occurrence of Pleistocene megafauna in the Ecuadorian Andes
No full textThe latest Pleistocene Ð Holocene megafauna extinction is a global event, particularly dramatic in the Americas. In a previous paper the authors hypothesised a scenario for this extinction event in South America, where mastodonts ®rst suered from the changing climate environment, followed by the mylodonts and equids. These dierent latest Pleistocene Ð Holocene megafauna extinction ``waves'' in Ecuadorian Andes have been dated using 14C methods on material from selected sites in north and central Ecuadorian Interandean Depression. An outline of the physiographic evolution of the Interandean Depression in Ecuador is oered and the stratigraphic setting of the fossiliferous sites is discussed. The present results con®rm the author's hypothesis on the megafauna extinction pattern, previously published in terms of relative age. The importance of climatic changes during Last Glacial Maximum at low latitudes is discussed

No full textFossil elephants from buia (Northern Afar depression, Eritrea) with remarks on the systematics of Elephas recki (Proboscidea, Elephantidae)
No full textA succession of five fossiliferous levels near Buia in the northern Danakil (Afar) Depression of Eritrea has produced an abundant early Pleistocene fauna including a ca. 1.0 Ma cranium of Homo. Elephas is well represented at many sites; with one exception the entire Buia Elephas sample represents a relatively derived member of the Elephas recki lineage. Univariate and multivariate analysis of dental characters demonstrates that the Buia sample is intermediate between E. recki ileretensis (Koobi Fora, Ileret) and E. r. recki (Beds 3 and 4 at Olduvai). The biologic reality of the separation of E. recki into five chronologically successive subspecies is questionable. Our analysis supports the hypothesis that E. r. ileretensis and E. r. recki form a single phyletic lineage. © 2003 by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology
