Derecho internacional de las inversiones en América Latina: problemas y perspectivas
No full textWith the bilingual volume International Investment Law in Latin America: Problems and Prospects, Attila Tanzi, Alessandra Asteriti, Rodrigo Polanco Lazo and Paolo Turrini provide a regional perspective on one of the liveliest branches of international law by situating it in one of the most dynamic areas of the world.
Latin America has always had an ambivalent relationship with international investment law and, more recently, it has been the home of harsh and resolute criticisms, questioning the ultimate legitimacy of the regime. By bringing together distinguished scholars of this legal field, the volume analyses ongoing trends and draws lessons from the Continent’s past experiences while identifying possible solutions to the important challenges it faces

Latinoamérica siempre ha tenido una relación ambivalente con el derecho internacional de inversiones y, más recientemente, ha sido el hogar de duras y decididas críticas en su contra, cuestionando la legitimidad última del régimen. Al reunir a distinguidos estudiosos de este campo legal, tanto de América Latina como de fuera de la región, este volumen analiza esta actual tendencia, extrayendo lecciones de las experiencias pasadas del continente e identificando posibles soluciones a los desafíos importantes que ahora enfrenta
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in national parks, nature reserves and protected areas worldwide: a strategic perspective for their in situ conservation
No full textSoil fungi play a crucial role in producing fundamental ecosystem services such as soil fertility, formation and maintenance, nutrient cycling and plant community dynamics. However, they have received little attention in the field of conservation biology. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil symbionts fulfilling a key function in the complex networks of belowground/aboveground biotic interactions as they live in association with the roots of most (80%) land plant families and influence not only soil fertility but also plant nutrition, diversity and productivity. The diversity of AMF communities can decline due to habitat loss and anthropogenic disturbance, especially in agro-ecosystems, and many valuable ecotypes could become extinct before they are even discovered. Consequently, long-term strategies are urgently needed to ensure their conservation in habitats where they naturally occur and have evolved. Protected areas, where living organisms are under the care of national and international authorities, represent an appropriate place for the in situ conservation of AMF, providing them with adapted situations together with established complex networks of interactions with different components within each specific ecosystem. Here, we review data available about the main present-day threats to AMF and the current state of knowledge about their occurrence in protected sites worldwide, providing a checklist of national parks and nature reserves where they have been reported. The aim was to offer a strategic perspective to increase awareness of the importance of conserving these beneficial plant symbionts and of preserving their biodiversity in the years to come

No full textIn 1961 the Olivetti took part in the great International Labour Exhibition organised in Turin for the centenary of the unification of Italy. The Olivetti space was designed to illustrate the genesis and evolution of industrial organisation, productivity and the market in the modern era. Franco Albini and Egidio Bonfante, both of whom had already been involved in the design of the Olivetti stores and exhibitions, created an original thematic installation with illustrated panels and films mounted on a grid of metallic cables, in which the conveyor circuits alluding to the continual and constant rhythm of industrial production. This exhibition experience, as yet lacking in specific historical-critical studies, is explored through direct textual and visual sources conserved in the Archivio Storico Olivetti, the Fondazione Franco Albini and the Paolo Monti fond at the Civico Archivio Fotografico in Milan
Olivetti e l'Esposizione Internazionale del Lavoro: l'allestimento cinetico di Franco Albini ed Egidio Bonfante per "Italia 61" a Torino
No full textNel 1961 la Olivetti partecipa alla grande Esposizione Internazionale del Lavoro, organizzata a Torino per il centenario dell’Unità d’Italia, ideando uno spazio volto a illustrare la genesi e l’evoluzione dell’organizzazione industriale, della produttività e del mercato nell’epoca moderna. Franco Albini ed Egidio Bonfante, entrambi già coinvolti nella progettazione dei negozi Olivetti, realizzano per l’occasione un originale allestimento tematico con pannelli illustrati e filmati montati su una griglia di cavi metallici, in cui i circuiti trasportatori rimandano allusivamente al ritmo continuo e costante della produzione industriale. Questa esperienza espositiva, ancora priva di puntuali approfondimenti storico-critici, è indagata mediante una serie di fonti dirette (sia visive che testuali) conservate presso l’Archivio Storico Olivetti, la Fondazione Franco Albini e il fondo Paolo Monti al Civico Archivio Fotografico di Milano

Belowground environmental effects of transgenic crops: a soil microbial perspective
No full textExperimental studies investigated the effects of transgenic crops on the structure, function and diversity of soil and rhizosphere microbial communities playing key roles in belowground environments. Here we review available data on direct, indirect and pleiotropic effects of engineered plants on soil microbiota, considering both the technology and the genetic construct utilized. Plants modified to express phyto-pathogen/phytoparasite resistance, or traits beneficial to food industries and consumers, differentially affected soil microorganisms depending on transformation events, experimental conditions and taxa analyzed. Future studies should address the development of harmonized methodologies
by taking into account the complex interactions governing soil lif
