    Apparentemente, i rapporti tra i Garanti regionali per l’infanzia e l’adolescenza, tradizionalmente intesi come organi di soft power, e potere giudiziario, al contrario, un vero e proprio potere dello Stato, sono deboli, quasi insignificanti. Muovendo dal valore della tutela non giurisdizionale dei diritti, il presente saggio vuole provare a evidenziare come in uno scenario di sovranità condivisa, i Garanti regionali sono soggetti ulteriori che affiancano l’autorità giudiziaria nella tutela dei diritti dell’infanzia. Tre, in particolare, gli ambiti analizzati: un primo, quello ex ante rispetto all’intervento dell’autorità giudiziaria, nel quale vi possono essere spazi per i Garanti nella tutela non giurisdizionale dei diritti; un secondo che, invece, guarda alla fase in cui l’autorità giudiziaria è pienamente in action, quella processuale, nella quale i Garanti possono assumere il ruolo di rappresentanti degli interessi dell’infanzia; una terza, infine, che guarda al ruolo che i Garanti possono svolgere a seguito delle recenti riforme del sistema giudiziario, in particolare quella sulla composizione del nuovo tribunale che si occuperà dei minori e sulla giustizia riparativa.Apparently, the relationship between Regional Authorities for Children and Adolescents - traditionally understood as soft power bodies – and the judiciary – which, on the contrary, is an actual branch of State power – is weak, almost insignificant. Building on the value of the non-judicial protection of rights, this paper aims to show how, in a scenario of shared sovereignty, Regional Authorities can represent additional entities that work alongside the judiciary in protecting children's rights. In particular, three main areas have been analyzed. The first area relates to the possibility for the Regional Authorities to act for the non-judicial protection of rights before the intervention of the judiciary. The second area focuses on the phase in which the judiciary is fully in action, i.e. the phase of ongoing judicial proceedings, when the Regional Authorities can play the role of representatives of children's interests. Finally, a third area of research focuses on the role that the Regional Authorities can play in the light of recent reforms of the judicial system, most notably with regard to the composition of the new Court that will deal with children and to restorative justice

    il saggio prova a fare il punto sulla situazione che vive il diritto allo studio universitario nel nostro ordinamento. Dopo averne tracciato l’inquadramento entro la cornice dei principi costituzionali, guardando a dove e come il diritto si colloca nel prisma degli artt. 2, 3, 9, 33 e 34, in special modo rispetto all’autonomia universitaria, il lavoro analizza l’attuazione che il diritto allo studio universitario ha registrato sul piano legislativo nell’ambito del complesso riparto di competenze tra Stato e Regioni, nonché i più recenti trend, alimentati dal PNRR, che segnano passaggi di un certo interesse per l’effettività del diritto stesso, tra cui spicca la fonda- mentale dimensione abitativa.the essay aims to provide an overview of the current state of the right to high education within our legal system. After outlining its context within the framework of constitutional principles, examining where and how this right is situated within Articles 2, 3, 9, 33, and 34, particularly in relation to university autonomy, the study analyzes the implementation of the right to university education on the legislative level, considering the complex division of powers between the State and the Regions. Additionally, it explores the latest trends, fueled by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), which have brought about developments of particular interest regarding the effectiveness of this right, notably in the crucial housing dimension

    Application of the Daily Fire Danger index to Algerian Large Fire Events

    No full text
    The Daily Fire Danger Index aims at providing a daily map of the areas where fire ignition and propagation is more likely. The paper shows the behavior of this index during a major fire event that affected Algeria in the summer of 2022. The increasing incidence of wildfires and megafires, both in terms of burnt area surface and in terms of power released by the fires, makes the strategic importance of prevention strategies and tools greater than ever. To this end, satellite observations offer a privileged platform to cover large spatial scales with a high time frequency. This paper aims at demonstrating the utility of a scalable-resolution fire danger index, named Daily Fire Danger Index, based on Sentinel-2 L2A and Sentinel-3 Synergy products for developing an operational system for wildfire prevention in Algeria. This index exploits both weather and satellite data to estimate all the main fire weather variables and is calibrated using the historical records of wildfire occurrence in the area of interest

    A Cross-Correlation Phenology-Based Crop Fields Classification Using Sentinel-2 Time-Series

    Full text link
    Agricultural areas are naturally affected by significant variations within relatively short time intervals, in accordance with the growing season. These dynamics could, in principle, be exploited to classify different types of crops. Thus, this study aims to investigate the methodologies and the results for crop types classification relative to the use of phenological information extracted from high spatial resolution satellite imagery. Vegetation indices (VI) retrieved from Sentinel-2 imagery are evaluated to track the year-round vegetation behavior. Starting from a multi-temporal image series of the same scene, the phenological profiles can be extracted and introduced into a semi-automatic classification process to detect crop fields, discriminating among different species. Following this, we propose a cross-correlation based model that, using a priori information from ground training data, searches for the best matching among phenologies. In comparison with machine learning models for crop classification, the one proposed in this study can provide useful information about phenology that can be stored and used for better monitoring spatio-temporal variations of crops species through the future years and guiding agricultural management accordingly. Our study cases are the regions of Bothaville and Harrismith, located in South Africa, and the region of Jendouba in Tunisia

    Geometrical approach for an optimal inter-satellite visibility

    No full text
    In the eld of satellite constellations, an important requirement is often represented by the possibility to exchange data among the satellites or exploit mutual visibility to carry out measurements on the parameters of the Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, recursive and routing algorithms are usually implemented to evaluate inter-satellite visibility intervals. However, to design the conguration of the constellation, it is important to consider the orbital conditions that guarantee the mutual visibility between couples of satellites. Thus, in this study, a geometric analysis was performed to identify the optimal inter-satellite visibility conditions, expressed in terms of the dierence in the true anomaly between satellites characterized by dierent orbital congurations. This approach allows a handy constellation design, without performing a numerical analysis. It is particularly useful in the case of a high number of satellites, when numerical techniques require signicant computational eort. Therefore, it is possible to considerably simplify the design of a constellation in which the mutual visibility between couples of satellites is always guaranteed. This type of constellation, usually referred to as satellite chain, can be exploited in several network services and remote sensing systems devoted to enhancing the knowledge of atmospheric parameters

    The three-year Space-Based Information Support for the Prevention and Recovery of Forest Fires Emergency in the Mediterranean Area (PREFER) project was devoted to creating a satellite-based service infrastructure capable of providing up-to-date information to support the prepared¬ness, prevention, recovery, and reconstruction phases of the forest fires emergency cycle in the European Mediterranean region. The project, an initiative of the 7th Framework Pro¬gramme for Research and Technological Development, was successfully completed at the end of 2015. However, the project’s products were also made available to engaged us¬ers for the 2016 summer season. The present article presents the initiative’s achievements, emphasizing the most innovative information products de¬veloped in PREFER’s framework. For these products, the methodology and validation results are introduced and dis¬cussed. The PREFER project was largely associated with the European Copernicus program (http://www.copernicus.eu/), the goal of which is to develop operational information services on a global scale, using both space- and ground-based monitoring systems, in support of environmental and security policy needs

    Periodic orbits for sounding Mars’ atmosphere by down- and limb-looking measurements

    No full text
    The Periodic Multi-Sun-Synchronous Orbit allows the planning of observational cycles in which the solar illumination of the observed planet varies regularly, and returns to the initial condition at the beginning of each cycle. In the classical down-looking geometry of observation, this leads to the possibility of reconstructing the temporal evolution of all planetary parameters that are characterised by a typical variation in the solar day. In this paper, such an orbit is proposed to analyse the evolution of Mars’ atmosphere time-varying parameters taking into account, in addition to the down-looking configuration, a limb-looking geometry that works with a solar occultation technique

    Crop species classification: A phenology based approach

    No full text
    We investigated the use of phenological information extracted from satellite imagery combined with crop calendar and supported by agro-ecological zoning (AEZ) in accurate crop classification and monitoring. Vegetation indices extracted from Landsat 8 imagery are capable to track the vegetation development through the year and from them the phenological profile can be extrapolated and implemented into a multi-temporal automatic classification process to detect agricultural vegetated areas and to discriminate among different crop species. The phenological profiles extracted by satellite images were compared with crop calendar data, compiled by FAO for the area of interest. The classification procedure is supported by the agro-ecological zoning which, based on crop modeling and environmental matching procedures, identifies crop-specific environmental limitations under assumed levels of inputs and management conditions. Accurate crop classification and monitoring is the main objective of the SBAM (Satellite Based Agricultural Monitoring) project funded by the Italian Space Agency and focused on Kenya
