Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi jesu li ekstremni okolišni uvjeti, odnosno suša i visoke temperature tijekom vegetacijskog razdoblja, utjecali na neke parametre plodnosti i porodnu masu janjadi. ...Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 14.562 grla slovenskih autohtonih pasmina ovaca s ukupno 46.434 zapisa o plodnosti i porodnoj masi janjadi. Ovce su se janjile od siječnja 2002. do prosinca 2006. godine na 247 gospodarstava na području Slovenije. Zapisi su iz centralne baze podataka Selekcijske službe, Biotehniška Fakulteta, Oddelek za zootehniku. Od ukupnog broja ovaca 34,35% bilo je jezersko-solčavske pasmine (JS), 52,41% oplemenjene jezersko-solčavske (OJS), dok je 13,24% ovaca pripadalo bovskoj (B) pasmini. Gospodarstva su s obzirom na veličinu stada podijeljena u tri razreda, S (< 50 ovaca), M (50 – 100 ovaca) i L (> 100 ovaca). Za ocjenu sistematskog utjecaja godine janjenja ovisno o pasmini na parametre plodnosti (broj rođene i živorođene janjadi u leglu, te broj janjenja po godini) korištena je neparametrijska analiza, dok je za ocjenu sistematskih utjecaja pasmine, veličine stada i godine janjenja na prosječnu porodnu masu janjadi korišten linearni model fiksnih utjecaja. Utvrđeno je da godina janjenja statistički značajno (P < 0,05) utječe na veličinu legla, odnosno broj rođene i živorođene janjadi u leglu jezersko-solčavske, oplemenjene jezersko-solčavske i bovske pasmine. Godina janjenja statistički značajno (P < 0,05) utječe na broj janjenja po godini u jezersko-solčavske i oplemenjene jezerskosol čavske pasmine, dok na broj janjenja po godini u bovške pasmine nema statistički značajan (P> 0,05) utjecaj. Pasmina, veličina stada i godina janjenja statistički vrlo značajno (P < 0,001) utječu na prosječnu porodnu masu janjadi. Pad veličine legla, odnosno broja rođene i živorođene janjadi u leglu svih promatranih pasmina u 2004. u odnosu na 2003. godinu vjerojatno je uzrokovan ekstremno visokim temperaturama i sušom tijekom 2003. godine. Pad prosječnoga broja janjenja godišnje u jezersko-solčavske i oplemenjene jezersko-solčavske pasmine u 2004. u odnosu na 2003. također je vjerojatno uzrokovan ekstremnom sušom u 2003. godini. Oscilacije u prosječnoj porodnoj masi janjadi svih pasmina vjerojatno su posljedica klimatskih uvjeta u promatranom razdoblju. Smatramo da je uočeno smanjivanje parametara plodnosti (veličine legla i broja janjenja godišnje) i oscilacije prosječne porodne mase janjadi po godinama janjenja uzrokovano problemima u hranidbi zbog ekstremnih vremenskih neprilika, osobito izraženih u
2003. godini.
Peer mediation is a process for resolving conflicts and disputes in which neutral parties (peers) act as moderators in the process. My aim in this article is to discuss how the mediation influences ...children’s relations during a school-break? The article also discusses conflicts, emotions and the peers’ experiences of mediation. I am inspired by conflict and mediation theories and my methods are observations and interviews. My focus for this article is an observation during a school-break. The three pairs of mediators and the teacher act in different ways when trying to resolve the conflict related to four girls who were bickering about a skipping-rope, giving rise to different results. Ignoring the conflict resulted in an escalation and in a traditional and disciplinary way of handling the conflict. Focusing on the wrongdoers led to continued conflict. The restorative way of handling the conflict during a mediation process also affected the children who were not involved in the conflict. The girls stopped bickering and the children involved, as well as other children, started to play together in a more interactive way. Peer mediation is a method of conflict resolution and it is oriented towards sustainable change. It is also an alternative to traditional disciplinary practices and does not criminalize children’s behaviour, which happens when the schools report the children´s conflicts to the police.
Protest campaigns against large-scale public works usually take place within a local context. However, since the 1990s new forms of protest have been emerging. This book analyses two cases from Italy ...that illustrate this development: the environmentalist protest campaigns against the TAV (the building of a new high-speed railway in Val de Susa, close to the border with France), and the construction of the Bridge on the Messina Straits (between Calabria and Sicily). Such mobilizations emerge from local conflicts but develop as part of a global justice movement, often resulting in the production of new identities. They are promoted through multiple networks of different social and political groups, that share common claims and adopt various forms of protest action. It is during the protest campaigns that a sense of community is created.
The presence of an isolated population of Scolopendra cingulata in NW Italy is here reported, together with the vegetational characteristics of the biotope. These data further underline the ...particularity and the importance of the conservation of this site.
In the Western Alps, different shear zones acting at different depths have been investigated for explaining multistage exhumation of (U)HP units, and several exhumation models have been proposed for ...explaining present-day stacking of different tectonometamorphic units. This study aims to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Susa Shear Zone (SSZ), a polyphasic first-order shear zone, outcropping in the Susa Valley. The SSZ consists of a thick mylonitic zone, along which units characterized by different Alpine metamorphic P–T peaks are coupled. In the study area, the footwall of the SSZ mostly consists of oceanic units (i.e., Internal Piedmont Zone), which record eclogitic conditions, whereas the hanging wall consists of oceanic units (i.e., External Piedmont Zone), which record blueschist-facies conditions. These tectonic units were deformed during subduction- and exhumation-related Alpine history, throughout four main regional deformation phases (from D1 to D4), and were coupled along the SSZ, wherein two shearing events have been distinguished (T1 and T2). T1 occurred during early exhumation and was characterized by “apparent reverse” Top-to-E kinematics, whereas T2 occurred during late exhumation and was characterized by Top-to-W kinematics. Detailed fieldwork and structural analysis allowed us to describe the main features of the different deformation stages and define the deformation relative timing. As final result, we propose a four-step geodynamic model, focused on the different stages developed along the SSZ, from pre-T1 to syn-T2, showing the geometrical relationships between the tectonic units involved in the exhumation. The model aims at explaining the role of the SSZ in the axial sector of the Western Alps.
