Cultura e turismo? Limiti e potenzialità dello sviluppo turistico sostenibile a Gorée, Senegal e Ilha de Moçambique, Mozambico by Elisa Magnani

“…Questo articolo si propone di analizzare Gorée et Ilha de Mozambique, isole che sono state riconosciute WHS sulla base della loro rilevanza per la storia coloniale, per la loro architettura e come simboli della tratta degli schiavi : un elemento di grande fascino per i turisti culturali e della memoria.Tuttavia, sebbene siano dotate di un patrimonio culturale di primaria importanza, che le ha trasformate in simboli per la storia globale, Gorée e Ilha non sono ancora state in grado di promuovere le loro risorse culturali in maniera efficace, in grado cioè di incidere significativamente sulla riduzione della povertà, e le povere condizioni d vita della popolazione residente sta mettendo in pericolo la sopravvivenza delle risorse culturali stesse.…”

Effect of saponin usage on physical, mechanical and fire properties of PP based wood-plastic composites by İlkay Atar

“…In this study, the effects of intumescent flame retardant and wood flour on the physical, mechanical and combustion properties of fire materials were investigated.Saponin (SP), ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER) were used as intumescent flame retardants.0-10% wood flour, 0-18% APP and 0-6% PER were used in production.SP was used at 0-2-4-6-8% ratio to determine the effect on the physical, mechanical and fire properties of the composite material.A total of 20 different combinations of composite materials were produced.The density value, tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus of elasticity (TM), elongation at break (EB), flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM), impact strength (IS), horizontal burning and limit oxygen index (LOI) properties of the produced composites were determined.According to the test results, with the addition of wood flour, APP/PER and SP, there was a decrease in tensile strength and elongation at break values, while there was an increase in tensile modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, flexural modulus and impact strength values.An increase in the density of the samples was detected with the addition of fillers.Addition of APP/PER to composite materials improved their fire properties.In the horizontal combustion test, the flame did not progress and was extinguished in the APP/PER added samples.A decrease in burning rate and an increase in LOI value were detected with the increase in SP usage rate.…”
