Editoriali.indd 7 07/01/14 11:09 ACARISS.indb 8 15/12/13 00:35 WELCOME ADDRESS ACARISS.indb 9 15/12/13 00:35 ACARISS.indb 10 15/12/13 00:35 The direct observation of scientic phenomena and their experimentation and discus- sion in classroom rather than the mere transmission of theoretical knowledge are powerful didactic tools for Science Education. Students can be, in fact, challenged with the object of the study, actively involved in asking questions and formulating hypotheses that can be tested through experiments in classroom. We successfully tested these concepts and approaches in the ACARISS project (www.acariss.it – Italian Acronym for Increasing the knowledge on environment and pollution risks involving schools with experimental activi- ties; funded by Tuscany Region) which aimed to create links between Scientic community and Schools and to make Science teaching more attractive for students by giving tools and methods to teachers for developing scientic themes in classroom. To present the ACARISS experiences, to a wider audience, an International workshop, was organized in Florence. Its title, “SCIENCE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE IN SCHOOLS: THE WAY FORWARD” reects the aims to promote a scientic debate on science learning and teaching methodologies in schools but also on the use of ICT for sci- entic learning in the area of environmental sciences, life sciences and applied robotics. We thought this workshop could facilitate networking and future collaborative projects. The enthusiastic contribution from many academics and researcher colleagues all over the world, witnessed by these proceedings, went much beyond our expectations Hoping that this book will be useful to all those engaged in the teaching of Science we address a particular thank to all of them that contributed to the success of “SCIENCE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE IN SCHOOLS: THE WAY FORWARD” workshop, and to the Tuscan Regional Government that provided the means to make the Project and the Workshop possible. Antonio Raschi Annamaria Di Fabio Luca Sebastiani ACARISS.indb 11 15/12/13 00:35 ACARISS.indb 12 15/12/13 00:35 There are two keywords for our future: youth and science. Linking these words is a strategic objective, reachable only through new and original methodologies of science information which go over the current academic vision of science, closed to non-experts, and beyond the traditional methods of science teaching. Indeed, the scientic community is often felt as disconnected from the civil society and the labour mar- ket, while the knowledge of environment and the research of solutions to environmental problems are real issues whose caring is nowadays our common responsibility. It is there- fore crucial to raise people awareness on environmental issues and on science potentiality to solve them. This will also enhance the capacity of the next generations to take their own decisions and actions in professional and personal life, on the base of a conscious and proved knowledge. Within the Acariss project, it has been conrmed that scientic education in a new and original way, alternative to frontal lessons, is possible and effective. Inquiry Based Learning is an effective methodology to attract students to science and transmit a scientic culture made of observations, hypothesis, models, explanation and concept acquisition. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that it raised up youth sensitiveness toward the environment, cu- riosity toward the scientic thematics and their career choices. Initiated by scientists of the Institute of Biometeorology-CNR in Florence and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa, with the support on science communication and evaluation methodology by the Department of Science of Education and Psycology of the University of Florence, Acariss attempted to bring authentic science experiments into the classrooms of the schools of Tuscany Region, directly inspired by eld and laboratory research, with the broader perspective of building sustainable societies. ACARISS project reached about 40 schools, scattered in the whole regional territory, and offered didactic materials and sci- entic tools to teachers, contributing to the teaching quality. Nevertheless, Acariss project is not an isolated example of good practice in science teach- ing, as demonstrated by the contributions presented at the international Workshop, “Science Education and guidance in schools: the way forward”, and included in this volume. The Workshop was organized at the conclusion of the Project, to present the result and to discuss them with a wider audience, and we were proud to host in our city of Florence, the active group of participants coming from a wide range of European and extra-European countries, surely attracted by Florence, as capital of art and science, but also intrigued by the workshop thematics. I am sure that the workshop gave participants large opportunities for exchanges and opened to future collaborations with new inputs of experimentation. The presentations and posters covered a wide range of themes on science didactic and science communication: study cases with practical examples inside

  • City of Florence Actual Mobility Context
    Present Mobility Situation City of Florence City of Florence Actual Mobility Context Information about the city. Florence is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and of the province of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with about 370.000 inhabitants Tourism is, by far, the most important of all industries and most of the Florentine economy relies on the money generated by international arrivals and students studying in the city. However, Florence is a major production and commercial centre in Italy, where industrial complexes in the suburbs produce all sorts of goods, rubber goods, chemicals, and food. Traditional and local products, such as antiques, handcrafts, jewelry, shoes, accessories and high fashion clothes also dominate a fair sector of Florence economy. The city income relies partially on services and commercial and cultural interests, such as annual fairs, festivals and fashion shows. Heavy industry and machinery also take their part in providing an income. Florence and its surroundings are the typical European metropolitan area characterized by a strong commuting with about 540,000 city users and about 370'000 residents. The City of Florence covers a relatively small area (just over 100 km 2) compared to a metropolitan area that includes 20 surrounding municipalities with about 970,000 residents. The mobility of the area is characterized by approximately 690,000 daily movements of which 480,000 in the morning . The characteristic of the mobility. The city is located on the North-South axis of Italy, so it is touched by the most relevant infrastructural and transport networks.

DeBard, MD, Registrar & International Lilac Society Freek Vrugtman, Registrar Emeritus Assistant Registrars: Claire Fouquet, David Gressley, Tatyana Polyakova International Register and Checklist of Cultivar names in the Genus Syringa L. (Oleaceae) (“Work-in-Progress” Lilac Register) For information on title, copyright, address, table of content, acknowledgements, historical overview, and introduction see Introductory Pages. RELEASE NOTE: This release includes updates to the main Register PDF and Excel files, including a massive revision to the Russian cultivar information as a result of a detailed review by our Assistant Registrar, Tatyana Polyakova. In particular, the Latvian cultivars have been updated and many Kravchenko cultivars from Uzbekistan have been added or revised. Also, multiple cultivars from Kazakhstan as well as those of Makedonskaya and Ihara have been updated or added. In addition, the Registrars have decided to maintain the British English format of cultivar names, based on 40 years of tradition and worldwide usage of the names, while converting the text to American English. This primarily affects abbreviations in the cultivar names, such that in British English, Dr, Mr, Mrs, and Ms are all written without periods after them, but in both British and American English, Mons. and Pres. do have periods. There are actually rules governing this. This release is the basis for the identically dated printed hardcopy release of the Register. It has 3561 entries including 1223 registered lilacs (in bold), 640 more with established but non- registered names, and 669 more with non-established names. There are 1025 entries with synonyms or rejected or unacceptable names.

  • La Ferrovia Pracchia - La Lima Nei Documenti Del Fondo Turri (1880-1898), in Il Fondo Turri
    Il Fondo Turri Industria ed imprenditoria sulla Montagna Pistoiese nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento a cura di Simone Fagioli Si presenta qui il testo della relazione di Simone Fagioli, curatore del Fondo Turri (www.fondoturri.org), presentata al convegno Il Fondo Turri. Industria ed imprenditoria sulla Montagna Pistoiese nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento tenutosi a Limestre (PT) l’11 e 12 novembre 2006 sul progetto di collegamento ferroviario tra Pracchia e La Lima, promosso da Vilfredo Pareto nei primi anni ‘80 dell’800 e sviluppato dai Turri sino al 1898, senza tuttavia realizzarlo. Questo progetto, realizzato poi solo nel 1926 dalla Società Metallurgica Italiana, era del tutto sconosciuto e solo con il reperimento del Fondo Turri, importante archivio familiare ed imprenditoriale tra ‘800 e ‘900 è stato possibile colmare questa lacuna storiografica. La ricerca è ancora in corso per cui si fa appello a chi potrebbe conservare ulteriore documentazione su questa vicenda di metterla a disposizione.
