Modelli lignei e architettura in Sicilia tra XV e XVI secolo

2020

La realizzazione di modelli lignei nel processo di creazione di opere architettoniche in Sicilia è documentata a partire dalla fine del XV secolo. Oltre ad alcune testimonianze nel campo dell’architettura militare, si tratta principalmente di edifici chiesastici, nei quali una articolata committenza svolge un ruolo propositivo. Nell’ambito delle comunità benedettine, in particolare, trova riscontro l’esistenza di un modus operandi che include la realizzazione di modelli lignei. Da tale modalità operativa, tuttavia, non rimane esclusa l’architettura civile. Questo contributo analizza le testimonianze relative a tale casistica, valutando l’attendibilità per il contesto in esame dei parametri …

Designing a Eustress Toolbox : From entrepreneur experiences to an online service

2018

Stress is typically seen as a negative phenomenon. However, the positive side of stress (i.e., eustress) has the potential to improve well-being, productivity, and innovativeness, thus increasing individuals’ daily resources at work. Focusing on eustress could enhance work engagement by turning some of the negatively perceived stressors into positive challenges. We explored this possibility by interviewing 21 Finnish entrepreneurs from various fields regarding their experiences of eustress. Nine of the interviewed entrepreneurs also recorded a eustress diary. Based on thematic analysis of the interview data, six main themes supporting eustress were identified: (a) Selfreflection toward chan…

Illegitimate tasks in health care: Illegitimate task types and associations with occupational well-being.

2021

Aims and objectives: The aims of the study were to identify content categories of unreasonable and unnecessary illegitimate tasks and to investigate how unreasonable and unnecessary tasks relate to occupational wellbeing. Background: Illegitimate tasks are a common stressor among healthcare professionals, and they have been shown to have negative associations with occupational well-being. Despite this evidence, research has not yet uncovered what kinds of tasks healthcare professionals consider illegitimate. Design and method: The data gathered by means of an online survey consisted of 1024 municipal healthcare organisation employees. A theory-driven qualitative content analysis was used to…

La organización del trabajo por proyectos: La fábrica de la precariedad laboral

2019

The project-based organization, considered as a radical reorganization of work around one or more simultaneous projects, is nowadays widespread in large companies and public administrations. According to the managerial way of thinking, this system would be virtuous: by giving more autonomy to the employees in the act of production and by developing their skills through mobility and interdisciplinarity of work teams, it would be able to arouse their full commitment. This study confirms in some way how this opinion has been imposed, but at the expense of precarious working conditions, increasing the dedication of employees and silencing any form of criticism. The research is based on a review…

How to apply privacy by design in osint and big data analytics?

2019

In a world where technology grows exponentially, more information is available to us every day. States and their governments have collected information on their citizens for a long time now. On the other hand, people give out more and more personal information voluntarily through social media. Information available on the Internet is easier to analyze with modern technologies and the original source of information is also easier to track down. Information is available to all of us and that information can be used to investigate personal data, defeat competitors in a corporate world, solve crimes or even win wars. This study analyses open source intelligence (OSINT) and big data analytics (B…

Hearing gestures : vocalisations as embodied projections of intentionality in designing non-speech sounds for communicative functions

2011

Experience design and writing for digital media. A scriptural theory of experience applied to instructional design and design pedagogy.

2020

Cet ouvrage pour l'HDR en sciences de l'information et de la communication propose une théorie de l'expérience des médias numériques pour l'aborder du point de vue de l'écriture numérique. Tandis que la sociologie des usages analyse la partie visible des interactions numériques sans intervenir sur elles, dans une perspective objectiviste, les études sur l'expérience, qui forment un champ récent dans les SHS, s'intéressent d'une part à la manière dont l'expérience des technologies numériques écrit en nous son histoire, tandis que nous laissons dans les machines des traces qui constituent à son leur une inscription, les deux types d'écriture étant indissociables. D'autre part, les études sur …

The Commented Walk Method as a Way of Highlighting Precise Daily Mobility Difficulties – A Case Study Focusing on Cognitive or Mental Diseases

2016

Abstract The French Act of 11 February 2005 on equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities highlights the need “for people with disabilities or reduced mobility” to have access to the complete mobility chain of the transport system. This law was initially planned to apply from 2015. Many efforts have been made to improve life for those with physical, visual and, to a lesser extent, hearing impairments. But there is a lot of room for improvement in situations regarding psychological, cognitive and mental impairment. This is largely due to a lack of knowledge on the difficulties experienced by the above when they travel. The national quantitative …
