Nature<\/em> titola in copertina “Save Our Soils”, viene da leggere Save Our Souls e associare tante idee di attualit\u00e0 vista la metafora delle radici – da salvare e da estirpare – ricorrente nel numero di oggi. Alla lettera:<\/p>\n

This issue of\u00a0Nature\u00a0\u2014 in recognition of what the UN Food and Agriculture Organization has designated the International Year of Soils \u2014 presents a series of Perspectives that discuss the\u00a0make-up and functions of soils<\/a>, their influence on the\u00a0environment<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0human health<\/a>, and how sustainable soil management might be achieved in the future. In a Comment piece,\u00a0Luca Montanarella<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(del JRC<\/a><\/strong>, ndr) makes the case for a voluntary international agreement to protect soils worldwide. <\/em>
\nAll four articles are part of \u2018Soil and its sustainability\u2019\u00a0\u00a0(www.nature.com\/soils<\/a>), a collection of articles related to soil research published in Nature Publishing Group journals during the past year.<\/em><\/p>\n

Imperdibile per Ong – e\u00a0 docenti e studenti di agraria del comitato scientifico delle Oche – insieme all’inserto pi\u00f9 tecnico su diagnosi e modelli <\/a><\/strong>per le malattie infettive, malaria e AIDS in primis,<\/em> e all’Outlook sulla “redazione del genoma<\/a><\/strong>“, rischi anche etici e promesse della tecnica CRISPR\/Cas9 e affini. Il tutto in open access come buona parte delle bibliografie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Root causes<\/strong><\/a>” – \u00a0passando alle radici metaforiche – \u00e8 l’editoriale che si occupa delle ricerche sulle cause della “radica<\/strong>lizzazione” e del terrorismo:<\/p>\n

Shortcomings of radicalization research itself were highlighted in a 2013 review<\/a><\/strong> of the research literature by Alex Schmid, a director of the Terrorism Research Initiative<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>…\u00a0It concluded that the search for the causes of radicalization of young people has produced \u201cinconclusive results\u201d, and that counter-radicalization and de-radicalization programmes lack rigorous evaluation.<\/em>
\nMost worryingly, the review highlighted blind spots in radicalization research. Much is \u201cone-sided\u201d, in that it looks only at the radicalization of Islamist, non-state actors, and ignores the fact that radicalization of Western governments can also occur, combining in a vicious circle that can fuel strife and terrorism.<\/em> (link aggiunti)<\/p>\n

Infatti Declan Butler<\/a><\/strong> parla di ricerche sulla jihad in Europa…<\/p>\n

Per\u00a0Sarah Reardon<\/a><\/strong> le “radici del suicidio” sono l’obiettivo di una ricerca in neuroscienze.<\/p>\n

Ci sarebbe da estirpare l’idea che spetti ai parlamentari decidere quale esperimento clinico finanziare o meno, dice Alison Abbott<\/strong>,<\/a> a proposito delle proteste<\/a><\/strong> suscitate dai 3 milioni di euro per la truffa Stamina, passati nella finanziaria, e quelli per un trial di fase II con staminali contro la SLA condotto da Angelo Vescovi:<\/p>\n

Unlike the criticisms levelled against the Stamina trial, the scientists who wrote the letter complaining about the amendment told\u00a0<\/em>Nature\u00a0that they are not commenting on the quality of Vescovi\u2019s research. <\/em>(…)\u00a0Their concerns lie with how the trial was selected, which is particularly painful because Italy\u2019s funds for research are among the lowest in Europe, and the 2016 budget foresees no increase for public institutions. <\/em>(…) Patient groups have also objected to the way the funding was allocated, saying that therapies for other illnesses should have been allowed to compete.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Andrebbe radicata l’idea che le regole vanno rispettate?<\/p>\n

\nUn amico di Climalteranti segnala l’articolo<\/a><\/strong> sul Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0del glaciologo Eric Wolff della Royal Society,\u00a0come esempio di buona divulgazione sul clima fatta da uno scienziato,\u00a0e Andrea Idini, della Royal Society pure lui, una ricerca<\/a><\/strong> sul cervello di mono- e poliglotti su Nature Communications<\/em>, gratis quindi, mi identificherei con le cavie poliglotte, ma parlano cinese…<\/p>\n

COP 21 – quelli che puntano a farla fallire<\/strong>
\nSu Nature Climate Science<\/em>, Justin Farrell<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>di Yale\u00a0<\/strong>analizza i legami di Exxon Mobil e dei fratelli Big Oil & Coal Koch con la rete statunitense dei “mercanti di dubbio” dal 1993 al 2013:<\/p>\n

The \u00a0data used here include two interrelated parts: the first being the \u00a0full institutional and social network structure of climate change\u00a0contrarianism, and the second being its complete collection of \u00a0written and verbal texts.\u00a0This comprehensive social network is made of\u00a04,556 individuals with ties to 164 organizations involved in\u00a0<\/span>promulgating contrarian views.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Sintesi: $$$ = root causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Da collegare alla maggior efficacia della propaganda bigoilista fra i conservatori che in media preferiscono bufale rassicuranti ai fatti, stando a\u00a0McCright et al.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>su Topics in Cognitive Science<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Debunking<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0anche da parte di Michael Tobis, dell’editoriale del congressista Lamar Big Oil Smith sul Washington Times<\/em>. Da collegare al debugging<\/strong><\/a> delle temperature troposferiche, derivate da dati satellitari con algoritmi segreti e invocate da Smith per accusare la NOAA di falsificare la media di quelle misurate sulla Terra, calcolata a partire da dati pubblici.<\/span><\/p>\n
