Unveiling the Nexus
Geomorphology of the northeast Sardinian continental shelf between Olbia and Posada (Italy)
The Geomorphologycal map of the continental shelf of the northeaster sector of the Sardinian coast has allowed the recognition of several seafloor features. These have been related to the geology and climate history of the area from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the early Holocene. During the LGM sea level was about 130 below the present and cuspate deltas fed by rivers crossing the continental shelf formed. The post LGM sea level rise caused…
Unravelling Myths
The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to numerous conspiracy theories, focusing on topics such as vaccine effectiveness, the virus’s origin and public health measures. These narratives have spread rapidly through social and traditional media, influencing public perception and behaviour towards vaccination efforts. In particular, they have contributed significantly to vaccine hesitancy. This study focuses on Italy, where narratives linking COVID-19…
Conspiratorial Narratives and Ideological Constructs in the Russia–Ukraine Conflict
This article explores the pervasive influence of conspiracy theories, specifically the New World Order (NWO) and Golden Billion theories, within the context of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. These theories form key narrative frameworks in Russian state media and global conspiracy communities, shaping perceptions of geopolitical events. This study dissects four pivotal episodes within the Russia–Ukraine conflict to illustrate how…
Structure of a Variscan migmatite-granite transition zone (N Sardinia, Italy)
This paper presents the structural map of the Barrabisa Complex, an E-W ribbon-like migmatitic massif exposed in the northern part of Sardinia. The migmatites consist of metatexites and diatexites with variable melt proportion, grading in the central part of the complex to a foliated peraluminous granodiorite. Xenotime/monazite dating indicates that the foliated granodiorite pluton emplaced in upper Carboniferous times (≈307–313 Ma) within a narr…
To trust or not to trust? ‘Exit’ approaches in EU citizens’ attitudes after Brexit
The European Union (EU) is a unique international alliance project, successful in maintaining political stability through its institutional model and decision-making procedures. However, recent economic and border crises, and COVID-19, have shown the institution’s fragility and undermined citizens’ trust. The UK’s 2016 vote to exit the EU demonstrated this. Indeed, Brexit was the first real example of the consequences of intensifying Eurosceptic …
Methods for analysing citizens’ attitudes
The European Union is an unprecedented unification project that successfully preserves political peace and integrates Europe’s countries into a supra-national model. However, recent economic and political crises have shown that there are institutional problems that have undermined the EU and lost the trust of many citizens. In Italy after the ‘political earthquake’ of the 2013 national elections, the party system suffered a further shock in 2018 …
Sea Floor of the Marine Protected Area of the Asinara Island (Sardinia, Italy)
The Asinara Island Marine Protected Area (AMP) (Sardinia, Italy) represents one of the most uncontaminated areas of the Mediterranean Sea and, therefore, but misses of an accurate mapping of the biocenoses and associated lithologies present on the sea floor. The provided map has highlighted the presence of 21 biocenoses laying on rocky or sandy substrate if shallower or deeper respectively. The most recurring are: the Posidonia oceanica L (Delile…
Coralligenous banks along the western and northern continental shelf of Sardinia Island (Mediterranean Sea)
Mapping of coralligenous banks was carried out along the continental shelf of the northern and western margin of Sardinia Island (Italy, western Mediterranean Sea) in the context of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC). Coralligenous banks are bioconstructions produced by calcareous coralline algae. Seafloor mapping was carried out through multibeam echosounder surveys and video transects, using a Remote Operating V…
Who and what is their ‘people’? How British political leaders appealed to the people during the 2019 election
In recent years, many scholars, mainly those focusing on populism, have analysed the role of ‘the people’ in politics. This has allowed us to understand how many political actors emphasize the central position of this term. Today, ‘the people’ has different meanings depending on how politicians use it in specific contexts. In this paper, the reference to ‘the people’ was measured using the following question: How do political leaders use the word…
Seafloor Map of the Alghero Bay (Sardinia, Italy)
The Alghero Bay is a coastal area of high economic value because of the presence of one of the most popular beaches of Sardinia (San Giovanni, Maria Pia, Le Bombarde, Lazzaretto). The organisms living in the meadow of Posidonia oceanica , which densely cover the offshore areas of the bay, represent the most important source of sediments to these beaches. For this reason, a detailed mapping of the local seabed features and distribution of P. ocean…
Marine benthic forms of the Marine Protected Area Capo Caccia-Isola Piana (Sardinia, Italy)
The great ecological and economic value of the biocenoses of Marine Protected Area ‘Capo Caccia-Isola Piana’ (MPA) requires a constant monitoring. For this reason, a continuous study of the area producing overlapping maps useful to control in real time the evolution of the biocenoses is necessary. The integrated use of several methodologies, such as Side Scan Sonar, Remote Operating Vehicle and Drone, has allowed us to realize a very detailed map…
The end of the French primary? Measuring primary election impact on electoral performance in the 2017 French presidential election
Towards the 2017 French election
Primaries have become an important aspect of the French party system. In recent times, the process, used by different parties, has been opened up to coopérateurs (‘sympathisers'). Both the Socialist Party and the Republicans held primaries in the 2017 presidential elections. This can be seen as an expected step towards addressing problems such as leadership and representativeness. This process is also in line with the personalisation that has bec…

The regional primary elections in Italy
Primary elections are frequently used by Italian parties, particularly those of the centre-left. Primaries are used not only at the local and national levels, but also at the regional level. Until 2013, primary elections had been held in a limited number of regions where there were presidential and legislative-assembly elections. The 2014–15 period, however, has seen an explosion in the use of primaries with eight taking place in a few months, al…
The effects of primaries on electoral performance
From the Communist Party to the Front de gauche. The French radical left from 1989 to 2014
This article examines the political transformations experienced by the Communist Party and the evolution of the radical left in France in the twenty-five years after 1989. Interpreting the Communist Party and Left Front as anti-establishment, that is, opposed to the political elite, but pro-system parties that are not interested in changing the nature of democratic governance. The peculiarities of French communism and its political philosophy are…
Les électeurs socialistes dans les primaires présidentielles à Paris
Several parties throughout the world are democratizing their internal processes. The most notable tools for achieving this aim are the primary elections through which electoral candidates and party leaders are selected. This article seek to analyze these “selections” by using survey data relating to primary elections held in October 2011 by the French Socialist Party. In particular, we make use of survey data to describe extensively some social a…
