FREEWAT is an HORIZON 2020 project financed by the EU Commission under the call WATER INNOVATION: BOOSTING ITS VALUE FOR EUROPE. FREEWAT main result is an open source and public domain GIS-integrated modeling environment for the simulation of groundwater quantity and quality, with an integrated water management and planning module. FREEWAT aims at promoting water resource management by simplifying the application of the Water Framework Directive and other EU water-related Directives. To this scope, the FREEWAT platform results from the integration in the QGIS Desktop of spatially distributed and physically-based codes (mostly belonging to the USGS MODFLOW family), which allow to get a deep insight in groundwater dynamics, taking into account the space and time variability of stresses which control the hydrological cycle. This is attempted in a unique GIS environment, where large spatial datasets can be managed and visualized. In this paper, a review of the tools/modules integrated in FREEWAT for data pre-processing and model implementation is provided. FREEWAT applicability was demonstrated through running 14 case studies, in the general framework of an innovative participatory approach, which consists in involving technical staff and relevant stakeholders (in primis policy and decision makers) during modeling activities, thus creating a common environment to enhance science and evidence-based decision making in water resource management.

Open Science is the new keyword in scientific research: sharing data and results to increase the quality, impact, and benefits of science. Sharing accelerates the advancement of knowledge by making it more reliable, more efficient, and more accurate. This process also improves usability and understanding by the society. This is affirmed by the European Union and this is what is required in the management of data and knowledge that is produced in projects funded by Europe. This approach has been fully implemented within the RaCHy (Radiotherapy Coupled with Hyperthermia) European project to which the National Centre for Radiation Protection and Computational Physics of the Italian National Institute of Research (ISS) participates. The management of Open Science aspects in the RaCHy project was developed by the ISS project unit using the Zenodo platform, one of the possible solutions for the dissemination and reusability of research data over time. There are rules and guidelines to be implemented and followed both in the sharing of data within the project and in the way in which the data produced are then available to the scientific community and society.

International audience ; L'organismo urbano di Rodi custodisce un'eredità storico-architettonica piuttosto ricca, dovuta al succedersi di diverse dominazioni portatrici ciascuna di una propria politica urbana. L'articolo propone uno studio dell'organismo urbano di Rodi attraverso la lettura tipo-morfologica delle fasi evolutive della città, dei suoi elementi tipici-atipici, delle sue polarità e dei suoi percorsi a partire dal periodo bizantino fino alla dominazione ottomana. Una lettura a partire dalle stratificazioni urbane più recenti si rivela importante non solo per la comprensione della città antica ma anche in vista dell'attuazione di interventi progettuali più consapevoli, siano essi azioni sull'esistente o progetti del nuovo. Entrambi, infatti, devono saldarsi alla realtà urbana preesistente ed inserirsi come ultimo passaggio di un processo di appropriazione della storia del sito attraverso la lettura delle sue fasi urbane, e proporsi come momenti operativi di conoscenza.

The contribution continues the research studies began in 1987 about the anthropization processes, considering the so call "crisis" as opportunity for a radical change of them, having its main base in the ecological vision of territory and city, in an holistic philosophy of social and spatial transformations, in coherence with the Landscape Florence Convention [1], particularly relevant for our country of the "100 town bells". Quoting the 2015 Letter Encyclical Laudato Sii for the Care of the Common House [2[, that goes far beyond the idea of cities as "public space" and underline the care of it, that is its management based on immediate actions, parts of strategies in the short, medium and long term. This proposed new philosophy refers also to scientific works requiring radical changes from a legal point of view in the relationship between man and nature as proposed by F. Capra and U. Mattei [3]) in the book Ecology of Law. Science, Politics, Common Goods. DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.17.09

The threat to the survival of many species, caused by emerging ecological crises, has favored the development of a new environmental awareness. In recent decades, especially in the most industrialized nations, an increasing participation of citizens in the collection of scientific data has also been recorded. The active involvement of society in different aspects of science has been defined by the sociologist Alan Irwin as "Citizen Science". Although environmental Citizen Science brings together the largest number of projects, the fields of application of this new way of doing science are innumerable. BioBlitz is one of the best-known examples of citizen science activities, aimed at monitoring the biodiversity of an area. The Maremma Natural History Museum, as part of its activities, regularly organizes BioBlitz on an annual basis, starting from 2013. During BioBlitz 2017 in the SPZ and SCZ "Monte Labbro and Alta Valle dellAlbegna" data were collected attesting the presence of 403 different taxonomic entities, of which 367 identified at the species level and 5 at the subspecies level. Six alien and 2 endemic species were identified. In terms of environmental legislation, 38 protected species and 7 endangered species were detected in the area. The most relevant aspect that emerges from the collected data is the consistent number of protected species. This confirms the environmental value of the area and the need for management and conservation plans for the entire site.

International audience ; The relationship between landscape and nationality is a source of refined cultural exercises. The landscape links to the nation in a circular relationship, since the nation is defined by the land it occupies, and that land provides the visual constants that make the landscape in turn. The Italian landscape projects the ideal of a country which has never existed. Landscape and the nation-both modern constructions-are fragile and at risk. The nation-states affirmed by the 15th century (but not in Italy) elaborated in fact upon the (re) discovery of nature and antiquity. Landscape was again exalted by romanticism, nationalism and the post-Napoleonic individualism. The crisis of modernity clearly traces a threshold for the stability of both landscape and nation. The constitutional pact between the two ideas is reconsidered at a time when both seem destined to break. Under this epochal process is not difficult to recognize the signs of a more specific problem : the difficult Italian relationship with change, the perennial misunderstanding of modernity, the refuge in the myth. What civic virtues, what political sense can we draw from the inherited idea of landscape ? The question is rhetorical, since neither the nation nor the landscape coincides anymore with old representations. However, the answers can help to overcome some of the educational rituals and Republican stereotypes. ; La rappresentazione del paesaggio in Italia ha un percorso e caratteri specifici, che rispecchiano tre elementi; il carattere particolare della variegata geografia della penisola; il debole sentimento civico e lealtà nazionale, che congiunge una straordinaria capacità inclusiva con il perenne rischio di implosione; l'elaborazione risorgimentale dell'idea di nazione attraverso un approccio fortemente letterario, astratto e idealista (poco visuale, poco legato alle pratiche). La letteratura d'Italia racconta del giardino d'Europa rovinato dagli invasori, portati da cieche vicende storiche. Una delle conseguenze di ...
