Tomaselli, Keyan G. — Encountering Modernity
No full textKeyan G. Tomaselli est professeur et directeur du département Culture Communication and Media Studies à l’University of KwaZulu-Natal, à Durban (Afrique du Sud). Son livre le plus connu, The Cinema of Apartheid (1988), traitait des liens entre le régime d’apartheid et l’industrie cinématographique sud-africaine, en s’appuyant principalement sur une analyse de l’économie politique à l’origine du développement de cette industrie. Après ces premiers travaux, Tomaselli avait orienté ses centres d..
New perspectives in applied linguistics
No full textThis monographic section of "Lingue e Linguaggio" contains the proceedings of the workshop "New Perspectives in Applied Linguistics" organized by D. Delfitto, G. Graffi and A. Tomaselli at the University of Verona on December 13, 2002 (http://fermi.univr.it/live/events/new%20perspectives.pdf). The papers collected and discussed offer an interesting illustration of the increasing degree of interaction between theoretical linguistics and other distinct but related domains of inquiry: cognitive science, neurolinguistics, clinical linguistics, psycholinguistics and, even more specifically, first and second language acquisitio
The interrelation between socio-spatial and institutional context and family business characteristics
No full textTomaselli, Agrò, Fazio e Fricano show how family firms draw strength from the regional institutional context (where the region is properly intended as an administrative sub-unit at national level), as well as contribute to its evolution via their own actions. The variation in family competencies and internal dynamics lead to differences in family firms's overlla performance. The relationship with the regional institutional system in mutually sinergic - even marginal family businesses add their voice to whole, resulting in grater collective political influence, and at the same time the institutions at the regional level provide some degree of legitimacy to all players
Habitat mapping and change detection in Natura2000 coastal sites in Southern Apulia
No full textMonitoring biodiversity at habitat and landscape level is becoming widespread in Europe and elsewhere as countries establish national and international habitat conservation policies and monitoring systems. Long-term habitat mapping and change detection are essential for the management of coastal wetlands as well as for evaluating the impact of conservation policies. Earth observation (EO) data and techniques are a valuable resource for long-term habitat mapping, through direct mapping of habitats or by integrating Land Cover/Use (LC/LU) maps with contextual spatial information and in situ data. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) has been identified as the most effective for translating EO-derived LC/LU classes to habitat types, since it allows a better description of natural habitats in comparison to other classification systems; moreover, LCCS has proven to be a effective tool in change detection, both at the level of conversion and modification (Tomaselli et al., 2013; Adamo et al 2014). As regards the present contribution, vegetation, LC and habitat mapping has been performed on three coastal sites belonging to the Natura 2000 and located in Southern Apulia (Italy), in years 2007 and 2015. Vegetation maps represented the baseline position for natural and semi-natural types, defined as phytosociological units in accordance with the Zurich-Montpellier method. Vegetation units were then reclassified in habitat types (according to the Annex I to the 92/43 EEC Directive and EUNIS) and in LC classes (according to Corine Land Cover and LCCS). The adopted landscape classification procedure refers to a hierarchical model with three different information levels: the vegetation unit, the habitat type, and the LC type. The mapping products were then compared, in the different acquisitions, in order to point out the ability of different taxonomies in detecting changes in vegetation and habitat types. LCCS turned out to be the most effective, highlighting changes such as height, structure and density, which were not evidenced with other classification systems

Scoperta, ricerca, restauro e fortuna iconografica dei monumenti medievali e moderni nella Sicilia dell'Ottocento
No full textThe movement of the travellers that you/they visit Sicily from the second halves the eight hundred exclusively determines an interest first turned to the presence of monuments of the classical archaeology and the I restore that they unwind you.
Subsequently the interest of the travellers turns him to the study of the architecture medivale and particularly for the acute arc, that as archetype of the Gothic architecture of Europe is recognized.
The wise man takes in examination the principal protagonists that treat the matter and they produce critical writings and you draw that I sell published with great diffusion of the Gothic new architecture
Mapping and monitoring in protected natural areas: the use of the FAO LCCS as an effective tool for habitat mapping and change detection
No full textEffective and timely biodiversity monitoring within protected sites and their surroundings is critical for detecting landscape changes which might impact sites conservation status, quality and resources and to evaluate the effectiveness of conservation policies in protecting biodiversity and ecosystems from human activities. The most commonly used Land Cover/Land Use (LC/LU) or habitat classification systems are limited in their ability to read all aspects of the landscape. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) taxonomy (Di Gregorio and Jansen, 2005) was identified as the most appropriate for providing a common language for harmonizing different LC/LU legends. One of the basic principles of this system is that a given land-cover class is defined by a dynamic combination of classifiers, thus allowing the more complex semantics of each land-cover class may be described. FAO/LCCS has been also found to be effective for translating EO-derived LC/LU classes to habitat types (Tomaselli et al., 2013; Adamo et al 2014), since it allows a better description of natural habitats in comparison to other classification systems. Furthermore, LCCS has proven to be a valid tool in change detection, both at the level of conversion and modification. In fact, changes become immediately identifiable by a difference in classifier, or through the use of additional classifiers, although maintaining the same class type. In this contribution LC and habitat mapping have been performed on a site belonging to the Natura 2000 and located in Southern Apulia (Italy), characterized by coastal environments, Mediterranean maquis and extensive pine forests. The mapping was performed by means of photo interpretation and on-site survey, in years 2007 and 2015. Different LC and habitat classification systems were used and results compared. The LCCS turned out to be the most effective in detecting changes in forest types, highlighting changes such as height and density which were not evidenced with other classification systems
