    No full text
    Il saggio analizza l'impianto a Milano tra Duecento e Trecento dell'Ordine degli Antoniani e del loro Ospedale dedicato al santo di Vienne. In particolare si studiano la donazione di Bernabò Visconti, nonché l'attività diplomatica di Filippo Provana, precettore della 'domus' e uomo di fiducia di Filippo Maria Visconti

    Migration of chlorinated hydrocarbons in multilayer unconsolidated porous media: a case study from the Po Plain, Italy

    Chlorinated solvents are the most ubiquitous organic contaminants found in groundwater since the last six decades. Due to their high degree of carcinogenicity/toxicity and the relatively high mobility and persistence, they represent a serious threat against the human health and the environment. These contaminants generally reach groundwater as Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) that can migrate through aquifers easier than aqueous contaminants. The complex phase partitioning to which chlorinated solvent DNAPLs can undergo (i.e. to the dissolved, vapor or sorbed phase), as well as their transformations (e.g. degradation), depend on the physico-chemical properties of the contaminants and on the features of the hydrogeological system in which they migrate. The hydrogeologic setting below the city of Ferrara (Po plain, northern Italy), which is affected by scattered contamination by chlorinated solvents, has been investigated. In particular, a limited-inspace high-resolution investigation was performed in one selected contaminated test-site, known as “Caretti site”. Here, high-resolution vertical profiling of different kind of data (i.e. stratigraphic data, hydraulic heads, hydrochemical composition of water, stable isotopes of water and contaminants) were collected by means of multilevel monitoring systems and other innovative sampling and analytical techniques. The main goals of the research were to assess the intrinsic vulnerability of the aquifers and to identify the dynamics of migration and transformation of the chloroethene contaminants in relationship to the features of the hosting porous medium. The confined aquifers turned out to be more vulnerable to DNAPLs than aqueous contaminants due to the occurrence of microfractures in the overlying clayey aquitards. The presence of organic-rich deposits in the local stratigraphy enhanced the biodegradation of chloroethenes causing accumulation of Vinyl Chloride. The results are useful at the local scale, e.g. to interpret the origin of contamination in other sites of the Ferrara area, and also at the global scale, to better address future remediation and protection actions in similar settings

    Abstract The National Mining and Geology Directorate of Uruguay (DINAMIGE) recovered, in 2020, geochemical data of Uruguayan Precambrian terrains collected in the 80’s, involving 31,874 soil and stream sediment samples. These samples were analyzed for 22 elements (Ag, As, B, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Sn, V, W, Y and Zn) by direct current plasma spectrometry. Multivariate statistical methods and geographic information system (GIS) procedures applied on a set of 20786 geochemical samples, 84% of total geochemical regional sampling from Uruguay, aiming characterization of geochemical signatures. The work focused on analyzing the influence of geology on the geochemical signature, considering 34 geological formations. The Chuy Formation appeared as the most impoverished and five geological formations stood out from the rest

    Egemonia e strategia socialista. Verso una politica democratica radicale

    No full text
    Analizzare il cosiddetto “mondo globalizzato” attraverso la categoria di egemonia elaborata in questo libro può aiutarci a comprendere come la congiuntura presente, lungi dall’essere l’unico ordine sociale naturale o possibile, sia l’espressione di una certa configurazione delle relazioni di potere. Si tratta del risultato dei movimenti egemonici da parte di specifiche forze sociali, che sono state capaci di realizzare una profonda trasformazione nelle relazioni tra imprese capitaliste e stati-nazione. Tale egemonia può essere sfidata. La sinistra dovrebbe cominciare ad elaborare un’alternativa credibile all’ordine neoliberale invece di provare semplicemente a gestirlo in una maniera più umana
