Integrated surveying techniques in cultural heritage documentation
2007
This paper is focused on integration between laser scanning data, CAD modelling and photogrammetric data collected during the survey of one façade of the monument called “Quattro Canti” in the historic centre of Palermo. The investigation has been directed to the production of a 3D photorealistic model of the monument. The “Quattro Canti” monument is formed by four cylindrical façades facing the square where the older streets of Palermo intersect; each façade has a symbolic reference to one of the seasons and is divided in four levels. The façade called “Canto dell’Autunno” has been surveyed both with laser scanning and with photogrammetric techniques. Laser scanning data have been collecte…
Integration of terrestrial laser scanning and UAV-SFM technique to generate a detailed 3D textured model of a heritage building
2020
The digital twin is among the Top 10 of the strategic technological trends for the period 2007-2019, and it represents a powerful tool for the conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. It reproduces with "precision" a physical asset, thus allowing to investigate its structure and to analyze the deformations that occur over the years. Various techniques have been introduced to obtain high-resolution 3D models. Among these, the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) is widely recognized as the gold standard to generate accurate 3D metric reconstructions. TLS allows acquiring a lot of data (point cloud) in a fast way, being not in physical contact with the objects of investigation. By integr…
Recensione a S. Signorato, Le indagini digitali. Profili strutturali di una metamorfosi investigativa, Giappichelli, Torino, pp. VII-376
2019
La recensione mira a descrivere la trattazione esposta nella monografia di S. Signorato, sul tema delle indagini digitali. In particolare evidenza vengono posti, da un canto, la struttura dell'analisi, divisa in una "parte generale" ed in una "parte speciale"; dall'altro canto, l'ampiezza dei suoi contenuti, che spaziano da un ambito più tecnico, relativo ai dettagli delle operazioni investigative, a quello riguardante i principi costituzionali e la loro evoluzione.
FinTech in Latvia: Status Quo, Current Developments, and Challenges Ahead
2021
FinTech has been in the focus of discussion for quite some time. However, the market share of FinTech companies is still relatively small compared to that of more traditional financial services. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the status quo, current developments, and challenges ahead for the Latvian FinTech sector. We combine three analyses: a political and legal, economic, social, and technological environment (PEST) analysis
TRANSFORMING LIBRARIES AS A PROFIT-MAKING ORGANIZATION TO IMPROVE SERVICE PERFORMANCE
2022
Libraries are non-profit service-oriented organizations engaged in satisfying the patrons' needs by providing them with whatever they seek from the library, i.e., Books, Journals, Magazines, CDs/DVDs, and Online Resources. However, the libraries must face hardships regarding funds which create difficulties in maintaining the libraries and providing better library services. Its high time libraries should become self-dependent rather than depending upon the funds provided by the parental organization. The funds that the parental organization allocates are minimal and do not cover every area pertaining to the library. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to conceptualize the transformation of …

Documentação digital da arte rupestre: apresentação e avaliação do método em dois sítios de Monte Alegre, Amazônia, Brasil
2013
Um dos aspectos mais importantes no estudo da arte rupestre é a documentação. No Brasil, são raros os trabalhos que apresentam os métodos e as técnicas empregados na documentação deste tipo de vestígio arqueológico. Grande parte dos estudos publicados no país está voltada para a classificação, a terminologia, as definições crono-estilísticas, interpretações e comparações entre conjuntos gráficos. Atualmente, a fotografia digital e os programas de manipulação de imagem constituem ferramentas de grande utilidade e precisão para a documentação da arte rupestre. Este artigo apresenta os resultados da aplicação do método do decalque digital na Amazônia, desenvolvido pelo Departamento de Arqueolo…

Digital Storytelling and Multimodal Literacy in Education
2014
This article argues in favour of using digital storytelling to encourage a critical socio-educational focus in education and include multimodal explicit teaching in the curriculum. The analysis of fifty digital stories indicates that the students developed a certain awareness of the issue chosen for their story (e.g. violence, racism, war) since the final product transmits a critical perspective on the topic itself. Further work, however, needs to be invested in the development of the digital story content itself and on the issue of multimodal learning, with especial emphasis on the interface between multimodal elements and more traditional modes of transmitting ideas.
