The shape of the liquid plain: sicilian salt flats
2019
This paper analyzes the salt flats as a place for the mixing of knowledge and experiences that originate and substantiate life: from the application of physical, chemical and biological principles to produce salt, to economic laws to regulate sales and trade, to aspects socio-anthropological aspects underlying the life of the communities that worked in production. A patrimony of material and immaterial overlaps, generated by the redesign of a segment of territory with physical and positional characteristics median between sea and land, and in which man strives to obtain fundamental resources for his livelihood. Given the complex moment of crisis and gradual abandonment that these particular…

Why Use Interactive Multi-Objective Optimization in Chemical Process Design?
2008
Problems in chemical engineering, like most real-world optimization problems, typically, have several conflicting performance criteria or objectives and they often are computationally demanding, which sets special requirements on the optimization methods used. In this chapter, we point out some shortcomings of some widely used basic methods of multi-objective optimization. As an alternative, we suggest using interactive approaches where the role of a decision maker or a designer is emphasized. Interactive multi-objective optimization has been shown to suit well for chemical process design problems because it takes the preferences of the decision maker into account in an iterative manner tha…
Tensions and Paradoxes of Scaling Up : A Critical Reflection on Physical Activity Promotion
2022
Background: Achieving system-level, sustainable ‘scale-up’ of interventions is the epitome of successful translation of evidence-based approaches in population health. In physical activity promotion, few evidence-based interventions reach implementation at scale or become embedded within systems for sustainable health impact. This is despite the vast published literature describing efficacy studies of small-scale physical activity interventions. Research into physical activity scale-up (through case-study analysis; evaluations of scale-up processes in implementation trials; and mapping the processes, strategies, and principles for scale-up) has identified barriers and facilitato…
Oggetti narrati, oggetti narranti. Le scarpe come simbolo, racconto e rappresentazione
2022
Gli oggetti hanno voce, se hanno vita. Bisogna prima interrogarsi sulla vita delle cose per poter ascoltare le loro voci. Mettendo a fuoco un caso esemplare, le scarpe, si prenderanno in considerazione sia gli oggetti narrati nei componimenti letterari, sia gli oggetti narranti, cioè quegli oggetti simbolici che sono capaci di raccontare uno stile di vita. Infine si esaminerà la relazione tra design e narrazione al fine di evidenziare le strategie e dispositivi narrativi attraverso cui il designer riesce a rendere significante la voce degli oggetti nelle istallazioni artistiche. Objects have a voice, if they have a life. We need earlier to think of the life of things in order to listen to t…
Patient Education as an Information System, Healthcare Tool and Interaction
2014
Patient education (PE) has a crucial role in the function of a healthcare organisation. For the care process of a patient, it is essential to get the right information at the right moment and in the right form. This paper analyses PE as the primary mode of interaction between a patient and a healthcare organisation. The approach is illustrated with a study among nurses based on their conceptions about PE. Practical implications and the potential of ICT in PE in particular are discussed. peerReviewed
Apparenti disegni eretici
2022
Il vocabolario Zingarelli, tra i significati del termine ‘eresia’, riporta: “nelle religioni fondate su una dogma- tica universalmente o ufficialmente riconosciuta, dottrina basata su interpretazioni personali in contra- sto con la tradizione” oppure “opinione erronea o contrastante con quelle più comunemente seguite” e, in ultimo “discordia”. È eretico quindi colui che ha scelto, chi sostiene principi contrari ad una ideolo- gia. Uno degli aspetti dell’architettura, quello probabilmente più confortante, è il disegno inteso nel dop- pio significato di intenzione e di rappresentazione di qualcosa di reale o immaginato; gli schizzi, nei loro tratti essenziali, comunicano un pensiero, un’i…
Staging and storing data sprint-based research results: a communication design approach
2022
Data sprints are multidisciplinary, time-limited, practice-oriented, and group activities that explore complex issues through data gathering, visualization, and analysis. Data sprints usually conclude with final presentations where participants showcase the research process they followed and the achieved results. Although this activity is now widespread in some research centers, there does not appear to be a data-sprint tailored dissemination format that can support the organization, archive, and online diffusion of results. Starting from the experience of a data sprint on Digital Methods, the paper describes the design process of a digital format which condenses and reinterprets good pract…
Diseño de un sistema de apoyo a la regulación social del aprendizaje en los xMOOC
2019
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar los procesos de regulación del aprendizaje, atendiendo tanto a su dimensión individual como social, en entornos de xMOOC. En concreto, se propone analizar cómo los procesos de autorregulación, corregulación y regulación social compartida pueden apoyarse y promoverse en este tipo de contextos abiertos y masivos para conseguir un aprendizaje más profundo. Para ello, se aplica un modelo de investigación basada en el diseño que permite intervenir directamente en la práctica pedagógica, a través de un proceso cíclico de cuatro etapas: diseño, intervención, evaluación y reflexión y rediseño de un sistema de apoyo a la regulación del aprendizaje en u…
Self-Distancing as a Strategy to Regulate Affect and Aggressive Behavior in Athletes: An Experimental Approach to Explore Emotion Regulation in the L…
2020
Self-regulation, especially the regulation of emotion, is an important component of athletic performance. In our study, we tested the effect of a self-distancing strategy on athletes’ performance in an aggression-inducing experimental task in the laboratory. To this end, we modified an established paradigm of interpersonal provocation [Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP)], which has the potential to complement field studies in order to increase our understanding of effective emotion regulation of athletes in critical situations in competitions. In our experimental setting, we first tested the applicability of the self-distancing perspective and the athletes’ ability to dynamically adapt beside…
