We illustrate the tectono-sedimentary evolution of a Jurassic–Cretaceous intraplatform basin in a fold and thrust belt present setting (Cala Rossa basin). Detailed stratigraphy and facies analysis of ...Upper Triassic–Eocene successions outcropping in the Palermo Mts (NW Sicily), integrated with structural analysis, restoration and basin analysis, led to recognize and describe into the intraplatform basin the proximal and distal depositional areas respect to the bordered carbonate platform sectors. Carbonate platform was characterized by a rimmed reef growing with progradational trends towards the basin, as suggested by the several reworked shallow-water materials interlayered into the deep-water succession. More, the occurrence of thick resedimented breccia levels into the deep-water succession suggests the time and the characters of synsedimentary tectonics occurred during the Late Jurassic.
The study sections, involved in the building processes of the Sicilian fold and thrust belt, were restored in order to obtain the original width of the Cala Rossa basin, useful to reconstruct the original geometries and opening mechanisms of the basin.
Basin analysis allowed reconstructing the subsidence history of three sectors with different paleobathymetry, evidencing the role exerted by tectonics in the evolution of the narrow Cala Rossa basin. In our interpretation, a transtensional dextral Lower Jurassic fault system, WNW–ESE (present-day) oriented, has activated a wedge shaped pull-apart basin.
In the frame of the geodynamic evolution of the Southern Tethyan rifted continental margin, the Cala Rossa basin could have been affected by Jurassic transtensional faults related to the lateral westward motion of Africa relative to Europe.
The research community on human trafficking has grown significantly in the past two decades, and consequently produced a large body of literature. There is much to celebrate - the volume of ...scholarship and advocacy literature have exerted sizable influence on policy making and funding priorities. More specifically, much progress has been made on measurement and prevalence estimation techniques, and some consensus is forming gradually on the common measures and counting rules to quantify human trafficking activities. Another major change is the growing rigors in outcome evaluation. Although still few and far between, funding agencies increasingly request an assessment of program impact through randomized controlled trials in different parts of the world. This paper provides an overview of the significant development in three areas: (1) the development of common measures to define what counts as human trafficking in empirical settings; (2) the development of strategies to estimate prevalence of human trafficking activities using primary as well as secondary data; and (3) the growing demand for rigorous evaluation for anti-trafficking interventions. Suffice it to say, research on human trafficking has passed its infancy and is now at an adolescent stage where exciting projects, ideas and field strategies are multiplying rapidly, as seen in the collection of select papers in this special issue.
This article analyses a didactic experience in the Borgo Ulivia neighborhood (Palermo), which originates from a research on council housing’s requalifying as a planning laboratory. In particular, its ...aim is to answer three questions: which choice guides the research in the field? What kind of didactic approach can we use? What kind of didactic restitution should be used? Within the didactic framework, answering these questions has three roles. First of all, we identify places capable of talking about tensions present at the local level but also in other geographical areas. Secondly, we reflect on the possible methods of research. Finally, we show how teaching is practiced both in the reflective approach and in the process of sharing with the class.
This paper aims to analyse the representation of the mythical “Battle between Carnival and Lent” in the mock-heroic poem La Cuccagna Conquistata of Giuseppe Della Montagna and its connections with ...the actual rites performed throughout Carnival in Palermo during the 17th Century. The exploitation of the myth of Cuccagna (Cockaigne) in relation to the representation of a Sicilian wedding and in relation to the development of the battle between Carnilivari (Carnival) and Marzu (Lent) is also examined. The analysis shows that the author was not interested in spreading progressive ideas and proposals for social reform. On the contrary he composed a mock-heroic poem, which reaffirms the immanence and the ineluctability of the carnivalesque calendar.
Valerio Villareale (Palermo, 1773-1854), the main neoclassic sculptor in Sicily, spent his young years between Naples and Rome. The paper highlights his training in Naples, where he met Filippo ...Tagliolini, and in Rome, where he knew Antonio Canova. Based on unpublished documents, the paper explores his participation in the Neapolitan Republic of 1799 and his activity during the reign of Gioacchino and Carolina Murat, when he sculpted the portraits of the King and the Queen as well as several stucco decorations and sculptures in the royal palaces in Caserta and Naples. At the restoration of the Borboni the Villareale returned to Palermo where he continued his career not only as a sculptor, but also as a teacher and art restorer.

The Epilogue begins by describing the ambiguity of the meaning of human trafficking (HT) before offering a review of the 4P's that represent the primary responses to combatting HT. A brief reference ...is then made to a 'new' P - participation – and how it can play an essential role in fighting HT. The article then notes that there remains a dearth of research on forced labour trafficking despite its rich history. A summary of the articles is presented with an emphasis on identifying existing gaps in our knowledge and research. The Epilogue concludes with several vital suggestions for future efforts to combat forced labour trafficking.
Submarine canyons are preferential pathways for transport of particulate matter and contaminants from the shelf to the deep sea. The Gulf of Palermo continental margin has a very narrow shelf (about ...2–3 km wide on average) and is incised by several submarine canyons that favour shelf-slope sediment transfer. A sediment core collected on the outer shelf and six sediment cores taken at different depths along the Oreto, Eleuterio and Anerella submarine canyons were analysed to study the transfer and historical record of trace metal contamination in the Gulf of Palermo continental margin. Trace metals, major elements, organic carbon and sediment grain size were analysed in these cores, which were dated with 210Pb to assess their historical compositional evolution since the late 19th century. Hg, Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd content increased until the 1970s and 1980s, associated with the increase in urbanization and industrial activities in the Palermo area, and Hg was the contaminant that reached the highest enrichments. However, the increasing trend of these metals contamination was reversed in the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with drastic changes in the terrigenous content and grain size of sediments in the canyon axes. These changes occurred when bottom trawling fleets expanded to deeper fishing grounds equipped with powerful trawlers around the Gulf of Palermo canyon heads and flanks and along the Oreto canyon axis. Bottom trawlers have resuspended large amounts of sediment, which have been transferred into the canyons since the 1970s and 1980s and have thus increased sediment accumulation rates. This resuspended sediment has been mixing with the sediment transferred and accumulated along the canyons, diluting and reducing its trace metal contamination levels since the expansion of the bottom trawling fleets.

O artigo analisa a construção do regime internacional de enfrentamento ao tráfico de pessoas, o qual se desenvolve a partir de uma lógica securitária e de criminalização internacional do crime ...organizado transnacional. Esse regime confere centralidade ao Estado, deixando em segundo plano a proteção das vítimas. Nesse sentido, percebe-se que esse regime é excludente da proteção às vítimas como sujeitos. O objetivo é oferecer uma abordagem distinta, com enfoque em direitos humanos, para compreender e analisar o tráfico internacional de pessoas, em especial mulheres. Trata-se de pesquisa que vem se desenvolvendo há mais de dez anos, a qual visa introduzir uma nova interpretação para o enfrentamento ao tráfico de mulheres, onde a vítima é o sujeito central da política amparada nas normas, e não um objeto ou instrumento do enfrentamento criminal do fenômeno. Essa análise tem a teoria crítica dos Direitos Humanos como principal marco teórico e o Brasil como caso de estudo. Verifica-se que o Brasil possui normativas garantidoras, mas a efetiva garantia dos direitos se mantém apenas no plano formal. O enfoque de Direitos Humanos, não obstante estar incluído na normativa mais recente e nas políticas de enfrentamento no país, carece ainda de efetividade e demanda mecanismos de participação permanente de todos os atores envolvidos, inclusive as vítimas.
The Upper Tithonian–Valanginian shallow-water carbonates outcropping in the Palermo Mts (NW Sicily) consist of several facies associations reflecting different depositional environments of a ...carbonate rimmed shelf, pertaining to the Southern Tethyan continental margin. The reconstructed depositional model, based on the sedimentological features, cyclic facies arrangement and biota distribution, shows that a wide protected lagoon, dominated by algae, molluscs and scattered patch reefs, was bordered landward by a tidal flat, where stromatolitic algal mats were cyclically subaerial exposed, and seaward by a marine sand belt and reef complex. Oolitic packstone-grainstone lithofacies, cyclically subjected to subaerial exposure, suggests the occurrence of a barrier island, located nearly to the lagoonal carbonate shoreline, allowing the development of narrow embayments with restricted circulation. In the outer platform, the oolitic lithofacies of the marine sand belt pass landward into the protected lagoon, where washover oolite sands occur, and seaward into a high-energy zone (back-reef apron) gradually merging in the reef complex. In the latter, coral framestone occupied the inner sector (reef flat), while the facies association dominated by boundstone with Ellipsactinia sp. developed in the outer sectors (reef wall), adjacent to the fore-reef and upper slope environments. Stratigraphic evidence, associated with the recognized facies associations, helped to reconstruct the geo-tectonic setting of the carbonate platform, where the distribution of the depositional facies along the shelf and their extension were influenced by the tectonically-inherited sea bottom topography. In a regime of extensional tectonics, localized and thin succession of high-energy prograding oolite sand belt depositional facies occupied structural highs (footwall uplift), while the largely diffused and thick low energy aggrading peritidal-to-lagoonal depositional facies developed in subsiding hanging wall. The reef complex and the fore-reef depositional facies, exhibiting lateral migration and prograding geometries with clinoforms and downlap stratal terminations, developed on a subsident stepped margin, adjacent to a faulted shelf-break. This morphostructural setting can be comprised in a model, where the tilted and faulted-blocks (inner platform) and stepped margin (outer platform) paleo-topography, inherited from the rifting tectonics, was the most important factor controlling the geometry and depositional architecture of a carbonate platform growing on the Southern Tethyan passive margin.
En 2020 se ha cumplido el vigésimo aniversario del Protocolo de Palermo contra la trata de personas. Desde su aprobación, y especialmente en los últimos diez años, son muchos los países que han ...tipificado penalmente este fenómeno o han reformado su regulación en este ámbito. Entre ellos se encuentran los Estados cuyas legislaciones conforman el objeto de la primera parte del trabajo: Alemania, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, España, Francia, Italia, México, Reino Unido y Uruguay. Sin embargo, a pesar de haber firmado y ratificado todos ellos este instrumento normativo internacional, no se ha alcanzado la pretendida armonización legislativa. Por el contrario, se pueden distinguir hasta cuatro tendencias político-criminales distintas con importantes repercusiones en la determina ción del bien jurídico protegido a las que se dedica la segunda parte del trabajo.
