Educazione al cinema e linguaggi del reale in Sardegna

The present research programme intends to investigate institutions and practices that, in the context of film literacy in Sardinia, have been promoting a specific reflection around the languages of reality, documentary and ethnografic movies. The aim of this research is also to elaborate a methodological and practical proposal responding to the needs of current educational contexts.

Water resources planning and climate change adaptation strategies of Sardinian basins under water-limited conditions

Sardinia, an island in the western Mediterranean Sea, serves as a natural laboratory to study the effects of climate change on ecosystems and water resources in water-limited environments. Long-term observations over the last century have revealed significant declines in winter precipitation, a halving of annual river runoff, and an increase of approximately 1 °C in mean annual air temperature. To investigate ecosystem responses to contrasting precipitation regimes, two micrometeorological to...

GIOSTRE E TORNEI EQUESTRI NELLE CITTÀ REGIE DELLA SARDEGNA TRA XVI E XXI SECOLO: FENOMENOLOGIA ED EVOLUZIONE DELLA SARTIGLIA DI ORISTANO

The thesis constitutes the work of transcription and translation of all the unpublished documentation, together with the study and interpretation of the published one, relating to the Sartiglia of Oristano, one of the last equestrian rides that still run in the European area. Documented since 1547, Sartiglia, from the Catalan sortilla, that means “ring”, is a ring joust, a target which, in 1716, was replaced by a star, pierced in the centre, which has to be caught with a sword or a spear of w...

The Principle of Sincere Cooperation in EU External Relations Law

Sincere cooperation has become a pivotal principle in the field of EU external relations law. Enshrined in article 4(3) TEU, the principle of sincere cooperation establishes reciprocal duties of assistance between the Union and the Member States as well as positive and negative obligations resting on the Member States to enable the Union to achieve its tasks and objectives. As a derivative non-unitary actor, the Union shares the international scene with its Member States and it is this coexis...

La comunità ebraica di Istanbul sospesa tra nostalgia neo-ottomana e memoria repubblicana

Memory studies that since the 1980s have spread in Turkey in relation to the Ottoman Empire have generated a wave of nostalgia for the Ottoman governance and society. At the same time, a political culture has spread which, inspired by reflective nostalgia, places the past, present and future in close relationship since, as Esra Özyürek states, “nostalgia is far from being just an imagination of the past. Rather it is a powerful and versatile means of relating and transforming the present ” (O...

Modelling Masonry as a Continuum: Finite Element Analysis using ABAQUS

The preservation of masonry structures, deeply intertwined with human history and culture, poses significant engineering challenges. Engineers work to ensure the safety and longevity of these structures through meticulous analysis of their structural integrity. However, conventional elastic theories often fall short in capturing the complexities of masonry, leading to potential oversights in assessment and accurate behaviour analyses. Jacques Heyman's critique of elastic theory highlights the...

Study on fisheries resources with particular reference to red coral, spiny lobster and other target demersal species in Sardinian Seas

This PhD thesis contributes to the sustainable management of marine resources in Sardinian waters by addressing critical knowledge gaps in the assessment of key commercial species: red mullet (Mullus barbatus), red coral (Corallium rubrum) and spiny lobster (Palinurus elephas). These resources represent both ecological keystones and economic pillars for regional small-scale fisheries, yet have historically suffered from insufficient scientific evaluation. The first part of the research presen...
