3D survey and modelling of the main portico of the Cathedral of Monreale
2018
3D survey and modelling of Cultural Heritage allow to store a great deal of 3D data that can be managed for different purposes. 3D models can be used for documentation, restoration and knowledge of historic architectures and monuments. In this work, a 3D survey of the main portico of the Cathedral of Monreale (Palermo, Italy) was carried out. The paper presents the data acquisition process and the 3D modelling phase. The work is aimed to reconstruct a 3D model that could be used also to set up an HBIM (Heritage or Historic Building Information Modelling) of the main portico. The result of this study could be considered as a first test to implement an HBIM platform for the whole monumental c…
Closing and Reporting
2014
It often happens that closing and reporting do not deserve particular attention from the contractor or consultant Project Manager, however, they are important. This chapter analyzes diverse situations that imply risk specifically related to an owner being dissatisfied owing to a deficiency of documentation in quantity and quality handed over, or perhaps due to a lack of quality in finishing concrete work, or through failure to clean the site. The chapter analyzes these aspects, pointing out that closing-out a project is a process as important as the rest of the processes in the project’s life cycle, and examines the need to produce a good Technical Memory that must incorporate a string of i…
Domestic Violence Interventions in Social and Health Care Settings: Challenges of Temporary Projects and Short-Term Solutions.
2020
Social welfare service and health care providers are in a key position to implement successful domestic violence (DV) interventions. However, it is known that DV intervention and prevention work is often lacking in coordination and continuity. In addition, the limited resources, hectic work pace, and changing practices negatively affect the development of successful ways to prevent and intervene in DV. This qualitative study involving 11 focus groups, composed of social welfare and health care professionals ( n = 51) in a midsized Finnish hospital, examined the challenges and possibilities within DV interventions and the adoption of good practices produced by a DV intervention development …
METHODOLOGIES FOR THE ENHANCEMENT AND THE PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE CRITERIA TO DOCUMENTATION, DIFFUSION AND PREVENTION MEASURES
2014
Recovering our building heritage has a fundamental role regarding renewal process, since it constitutes one of the strategies for urban and territorial balance. The project of building recovery, therefore, mainly addresses the adjustment to new housing and urban needs, but it is obviously conditioned and/or “restricted” by the limitation of the building itself, in particular when the intrinsic characteristics must be preserved. The concept of “restriction” extends to its relation with the site, to the quality of the image, to the living conditions. Therefore any intervention of building recovery needs a philological study as a starting point, which consists of a critical interpretation of t…
Évaluation de l'impact pédagogique des bibliothèques centres documentaires (BCD) au niveau du cours préparatoire
1992
International audience; Cet article vise à déterminer, de façon empirique, l'influence des bibliothèques centres documentaires (B.C.D.), sur les acquis cognitifs au niveau du cours préparatoire. L'échantillon étudié est composé de 300 élèves répartis sur 15 classes de Chalon-sur-Saône. Le cadre analytique retenu a englobé les caractéristiques socio-démographiques (C.S.P., fratrie, sexe, âge, ...), et le niveau initial. En outre, afin d'isoler l'influence spécifique de la B.C.D., les acquis finaux des élèves ont été examinés. Les méthodes statistiques employées ont permis de contrôler l'impact de chacun de ces éléments. Les résultats font appara\ⁱtre que la fréquentation régulière d'une B.C.…

2023
El presente trabajo trata de analizar la relación entre el taller de Tomás Cobo, su viuda y su sobrino Luis Obispo, desde 1859 hasta 1905, con la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, estudiando la gestión de los encargos que se produjeron, conociendo el tipo de encuadernaciones que se encargaban, el número de volúmenes, el tipo de obras (monografías, revistas, publicaciones internas de la propia Academia…), los precios, los distintos talleres… Tomás Cobo trabajó para la Academia entre 1859 y 1869, su viuda entre 1869 y 1884 y su sobrino Luis Obispo entre 1884 y 1905, fecha última de la que tenemos documentación en la Academia
On the hazardous situations due to the presence of HV/MV substations in urban areas
2017
The paper focuses on the hazardous situations that can rise in urban areas in case of earth fault inside a High Voltage/Medium Voltage station. IEEE and IEC/EN Standards and technical documents are examined and discussed, in order to propose some practical guidelines for a safe integration of such installations in contexts characterized by the presence of low voltage systems and not trained persons.
Using Wavelet Techniques to Approximate the Subjacent Risk of Death
2018
In Actuarial science, graduation techniques have been used extensively: the large number of scientific papers and technical documentation published evidences this fact (see Ayuso M et al. (Estadistica Actuarial Vida. UBe, Barcelona (2007)), Baeza Sampere and Morillas Jurado (Rev. Anales del Instituto de Actuarios Espanoles 135–164 (2011)), London (Graduation: The Revision of Estimates. ACTEX Publications, Connecticut (1985)), Cairns, et al. (Scand Actuar J 2(3):79–113 (2008)) and the references therein). Graduation techniques are defined by Haberman and Renshaw J Inst Actuar 110:135–156 (1983) as a set of principles and techniques for use that are used on raw data so that a more appropriate…
Artificial Intelligence in the Healthcare System: An Overview
2021
This chapter aims to present insights into the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on medicine, public health, and the economy. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were used for the identification and collection of articles with search commands of “artificial intelligence” AND “public health” and “artificial intelligence” AND “medicine”. A total of 273 articles specifically handling the issue of artificial intelligence, dating ten years back, in three major medical journals: Science, The Lancet, and The New England Journal of Medicine, were analyzed. Computational power gets stronger by the day, giving us new solutions and possibilities. Current medicine problems like personalized med…
