    Chapter The National Monitoring Program of Israel's Mediterranean Waters – scientific perspectives (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-09
    Description: The Levantine Basin (LB) is considered an impoverished and sensitive ecosystem in the Mediterranean Sea. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution this sea has been influenced by increasing global, regional and local anthropogenic pressures. The LB is at the eastern most terminus of the Mediterranean Sea with relatively long residence time of water subject to warming, salinization and acidification. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1864 linking the Red Sea with the Mediterranean has facilitated the migration and settling of hundreds of Eritrean species along the Levantine coasts at the expense of native species and irreversibly altering the ecosystem

    Chapter The Role of Adult Learning and Education in (Post-)Covid Times (2023)
    Firenze University Press | Re-thinking Adult Education Research. Beyond the Pandemic
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-08-08
    Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruptions to global education systems, with adult education shifting to a virtual world and relying heavily on digital and ICT tools to maintain continuity of learning. However, the prolonged pandemic raises important questions about the future of adult education. The current essay examines the most significant changes in three key areas of adult education: health, citizenship, and digital technologies. It argues that adult education should not only equip people with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate a crisis, but also play a proactive role in shaping the future of education and the world. It should critically analyse and challenge mainstream ideas and offer constructive alternatives to proposed solutions.

    Chapter Beach macro-litter monitoring on Monastir coastal sea (Tunisia): First Findings (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-09
    Description: The macrolitter monitoring was investigated on 3 beaches on Monastir coastal (Palmier, Marina, Karaia) and on Kuriat Island during 4 seasons. The highest abundance and density of macrolitter were recorded on the beaches of Marina (13540 items/100m; 8.49 items m-2) and Karaia (6842 items/100m; 6.11 items m-2) during spring. According to Clean Coast Index, these 2 beaches were classified as extremely dirty whereas Kuriat Island was considered as very clean. Plastic items corresponded to the highest concentration of litter in studied sites and varying between 69% and 89% of total items. Cigarette butts are the most frequent type of debris

    Chapter Internationalisation in Higher Education: A Virtual Adult Education Academy in Times of COVID-19 (2023)
    Firenze University Press | Re-thinking Adult Education Research. Beyond the Pandemic
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-08-08
    Description: COVID-19 calls for new ways of approaching internationalisation in adult learning and education. Based on experiences gathered during the 2021 virtual Adult Education Academy, this paper identifies challenges in international virtual learning settings in higher education. Such settings involve different levels of digital literacy among participants and moderators, limited access to high-speed internet, different time zones, and difficulties in social interactions. The article presents the didactical and methodological conceptualisation of a virtual setting to overcome these challenges. The concept involves facilitating exchanges between moderators, providing technical support, implementing (a-)synchronous sessions, and establishing a virtual space in which learning materials are created.

    Chapter Mercury concentrations and transfers in phyto- and zooplankton communities in a coastal Mediterranean ecosystem (bay of Toulon, France) (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-09
    Description: Plankton is critical in contaminants transfer but its role in mercury’s is to be investigated. The objective was to characterize the plankton continuum’s taxonomy, trophic organization and mercury levels. Bacteria, pico-, nano- and zooplankton were more abundant in the LiB and phytoplankton in the LaB. Mercury levels were higher in the LiB. Contrarily to standard mercury biomagnification pattern in higher trophic levels, the smaller size classes presented higher mercury concentrations decreasing while size increased followed by an inversion of the trend between the two largest size classes.

    Chapter Learning in Cities to Create Sustainable Societies (2023)
    Firenze University Press | Re-thinking Adult Education Research. Beyond the Pandemic
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Cities play a leading role in addressing many of the global challenges of the 21st century. They are an important part of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, which assigns them multiple tasks. Cities should be committed to reducing the ecological footprint and to creating solutions that respond in a differentiated way to the challenges and opportunities in different areas of the world. The sustainable development strategies of cities have determined the definition of different urban models, focused on the need to offer citizens well-being and innovation. This contribution presents the model of learning cities (LC), cities that put learning and education at the heart of their strategies. The paper identifies some of the possible strategies to make cities more responsive to the learning needs arising from the recent pandemic crisis.

    Chapter Chemical composition of microplastics floating on the Mediterranean Sea surface (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-12
    Description: Main objective of this study was to describe chemical composition of MP collected in surface waters of Mediterranean Sea. Samples were collected by manta net during Tara Mediterranean expedition (June–Nov.2014). Our results pointed to certain homogeneity at Mediterranean Sea scale. Main polymers collected were polyethylene (PE) (67.3±2.4%), polypropylene (20.8±2.1%), polystyrene (3.0±0.9%). Still, discrepancies, confirmed by literature, were observed at mesoscale level. Thus, in North Tyrrhenian Sea, proportion of PE was significantly lower than average value of Mediterranean Sea (57.9±10.5%).

    Chapter Coralligenous cliffs in Tuscany: distribution, extension of the habitat and structure of assemblage (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: The present study aims at assessing the distribution and extension of the coralligenous cliffs in Tuscany and describing the structure and the patterns of spatial variability. The mapping of seabed was obtained through Multibeam echosounder data coupled with video images. Coralligenous cliffs were sampled by SCUBA divers in 11 sectors of rocky costs following the STAR procedure. Coralligenous cliffs were present in all study sites, with a total length of about 62.5 km and a total surface of 0.47 km2. The linear extension of the habitat may be estimated about the 20% of Tuscany rocky coast.
