The paper presents the problem of the answers to male violence against women in intimate relationships and presents a case study on the potential of the anti-violence network in coping with the risk of secondary victimization. The case study is related to the work of public and private entities involved in dealing with episodes of violence. It is based on the documentary analysis of the institutional documents of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia on the subject of gender-based violence, for the three-year period 2018/2020, for multilevel governance of the network coordination. Furthermore, with reference to the training activities developed by the Centre for Gender Studies Advanced Research on Gender INequalities and Opportunities of the University of Sassari the three-year period 2019/2021, we want to present training as a tool to create shared skills between the scientific community, professional communities and specialized services of the anti-violence network in Sardinia. The results highlight the importance of a training action based on the synergy between academic and operational knowledge. Starting from the anti-violence centres, essential nodes of the network, it will be possible to compare subjects who are different but capable of combining experience and competence, to reduce the heterogeneity of the procedures for taking charge and limit the risk that professional routines lead to a standardization of interventions, rendering them ineffective.

For about ten years this research team has been experimenting with techniques of spatial and visual perceptual analysis using GIS on the Nuragic landscapes (Middle and Late Bronze Age) of different areas of Southern Sardinia. Over time, various field campaigns have been developed on the monumental complexes built by the Nuragic communities. Towers, fortresses, villages, tombs of giants and sacred wells suggest a marked attention to the display of a message of power, strength and monumentality by the human group studied. An aspect often emphasized by these researches is the relationship of monuments with mobility and with the routes and strategic points of the territory, often verified through matches of different Least Coast Path Analyses (LCPA) that cross the territory by connecting different patterns of points. However, the real efficiency of the paths predicted by the GIS has never been directly tested on the ground. The paper presents the result of field analyses conducted by our group of archaeologists on the paths resulting from the GIS analysis in the Marmilla territories: travel times, energy expenditure and the real possibility of a path to actually cross a given territory are provided. Working with the LCPAs is still to be explored, however it remains a valid tool for territorial research, if an analysis unrelated to preconceptions and with a holistic evidence framework is carried out.

This paper aims to describe the uses of over-compound tenses in the dialects of Sardinia. As we knew (Pittau 1972, p. 112 and 156-157 and Jones 1993, p. 308) over-compound tenses are used especially in counterfactual clauses. My data (Pisano, 2010; 2016; 2018) showed that these structures can be also used in the generic expression of unreality in optative clauses. Even if previous descriptions were based on data from the Nuorese area dialects, my fieldworks (Pisano, 2010; 2016) have shown that over-compound tenses are also present in some dialects of the north of Logudoro. A paradigm of an over-compound past tense is attested also in the south of Sardinia (Pisano, 2016). In this group of varieties, however, this structure displays only an experiential value. As a matter of fact, the insertion of the extra past participle is not possible in the expression of punctual action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research analyses the efficiency of the representative democracy model in the land policies definition. The representative model is based on the assumption that people (public) are not able to manage their interests, but need the presence of representatives in order to assure the common interest. The paper focuses on the comparison between social preferences and institutional preferences. The hypothesis is that in the case there is a wide divergence of preferences between institutional and social preferences, it means that institutional actors have a different perception of priority in comparison to the society. To analyse the divergences concerning land policies authors have used a questionnaire designed in order to consider the main management strategies on rural development. The questionnaire - subdivided into thematic sections (forest functions, strategies of territorial development, renewable energies and forest fire control strategies) - has been submitted face-to-face to the representatives of local institutions and to the non-institutional actors. The results of the inter - views have been compared statistically considering the two groups of actors, with the purpose of emphasizing the convergence and divergence on land policies. The study area is the forest district of Arci-Grighine in the Oristano department (Sardinia). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Observations on natural regeneration in grazed Holm oak stands in the Ogliastra province (Sardinia, Italy). This paper deals with the effects of grazing pressure in two Holm oak (Quercus ilex) stands in Ogliastra (central-eastern Sardinia, Italy), with particular reference to the interactions with the natural regeneration processes. There is a positive interaction (facilitation) between shrubs and seedlings of tree species, as observed in other similar studies carried out by the same authors in other areas of Sardinia. Rubus ulmifolius proved to be the most efficient shrub for the protection and growth of saplings; the other shrub species play a less marked facilitating role. Although the density of shrubs hosting Holm oak seedlings is fairly high, their age and small size confirm that the current grazing pressure is incompatible with any chance of growth of the saplings and success of the natural regeneration. The conservation of these stands must therefore rely on the rationalisation of human activities through the exploitation of a whole range of resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a period of repeated economic crises, access to traditional credit channels for those unable to provide personal or capital guarantees has proved particularly complex. Among the possible ways to limit the damage of the crisis, the Region of Sardinia has identified support for entrepreneurship - particularly micro-entrepreneurship - as the most crucial way to foster the creation of new jobs, both in traditional and innovative sectors. The authority has deemed it appropriate to change course in favour of business creation through a particular form of interest-free microcredit, which replaces the traditional grant. At the time of its creation in 2009, the ESF Microcredit Fund constituted a radical policy innovation, which entailed a significant discontinuity with previous practices. It was a critical and courageous decision, taken in a context heavily marked by the unfavourable socioeconomic situation. This article presents the main results of the analysis of the ESF Microcredit, describing the mechanisms of genesis and implementation of the policy and finally describing the main effects of the ESF Microcredit on the beneficiaries and the socio-economic context.

Current National Forest Inventory highlight the further increase over the last two decades of coppice area under the position of mature standing crop or in the post-cultivation phase, both being developed throughout the original cultivation area. This pattern, mainly due to the unprofitable fuel wood harvesting, also involved holm oak and beech forests, some of the most diffused forest covers in Sardinia, along the Apennines and pre- -Alps. The alternative management option to ageing (the pro-active way of coppice conversion into high forest) has been also practiced in the public domain, but on much smaller areas as compared with those undergoing post-cultivation phase. Aged coppices located into medium-good site classes showed a positive growth pattern resulting in a high, age-related, wood matter storage. At the meantime, regular mortality occur - ring since former rotation into the fully-stocked shoot populations, stocked up high deadwood amounts, this becoming an outstanding attribute of these types. Carbon storage is becoming one of the major tasks attributable to these systems within the post-cultivation phase. Purposes are here to: (i) estimate living woody and standing + lying deadwood mass densities; (ii) determine deadwood/living mass ratio; (iii) verify lying deadwood decay class; (iv) analyse diversity between two sites aged likewise but different as for geographi - cal location and tree species. A holm oak coppice aged 55 in Sardinia and a beech coppice aged 57 in Tusca - ny were selected at the purpose. Both stands have been developing the post-cultivation phase since two-three times the traditional rotation and represent the maximum ages in this position. Living and standing dead woody dry mass density were determined in each site by specific allometric functions. Lying deadwood amount was assessed by a sampling design covering systematically the full test area. Three decay classes were determined according to Hunter (modified). The tree species, both shade-tolerant, showed a similar pattern as for time of wood formation and its transfer to deadwood, as well. The main difference consists only in their evergreen and deciduous habit. Auto-ecology seems to be the main driver of stand development as for carrying capacity, mortality rate and survival time into the overstocked stand structures. Leaf standing mass and leaf /thin branches ratio are two and three times higher in holm oak, consistently with its biology. Living woody mass density is made basically by stem and thick branches (88%) and varies from 322 Mg ha-1 (beech) to 225 Mg ha-1 (holm oak). Deadwood amount ranges from 28 to 25 Mg ha-1 i.e., from 9 to 11% of living woody mass. Standing deadwood is 70 to 73% of total amount. As for lying material, the intermediate decay class is prevailing: 74%, (beech) and 66% (holm oak). Both dynamics and age-related data suggest the active role these types may play in soil conservation, improvement of forest quality and carbon storage. The need of a consistent monitoring of the further post-cultivation progress is finally stressed to recognize driving forces acting, the onset of possible limiting factors and feedbacks.
