Tourism Development in UNESCO Natural Heritage Sites: The Case of Sicilian Volcanic Sites: Mount Etna and Aeolian Islands
2017
Local development often depends on tourism, especially in fragile contexts like islands which represent a special cluster and are the best cases to be analyzed in order to highlight positive and negative aspects of economic development driven by tourism. A sustainable development approach should be taken in account and the UNESCO brand plays a fundamental role in this sense. The aim of this paper is to analyze the link between tourism supply and the growth of tourism demand in the case of UNESCO sites through multivariate regression analysis. The results show a correlation between the variables considered. But the actual structure of supply is still built on conventional sea tourism and is …
Ramification of lithic production and the search of small tools in Iberian Peninsula Middle Paleolithic
2015
The notion of recycling and it relationship with ramified productions and small tool production in Late Middle Paleolithic from the Iberian Peninsula are investigated. Results from Amalda, Axlor, Pen~a Miel, and Quebrada show that the production of small tools is one of the principal objectives of lithic provi- sioning in these sites. Whereas in Axlor and Amalda, this is achieved through the ramification of pro- duction, due to the remoteness of flint sources, in Quebrada, where raw material sources are closer, small flakes are obtained at the end of Levallois production. The implications for Neandertal society organi- zation of this small tool production is discussed, and its evolution is …
Evaporite karst in Italy: A review
2017
none 16 si Although outcropping rarely in Italy, evaporite (gypsum and anhydrite) karst has been described in detail since the early 20th century. Gypsum caves are now known from almost all Italian regions, but are mainly localised along the northern border of the Apennine chain (Emilia Romagna and Marche), Calabria, and Sicily, where the major outcrops occur. Recently, important caves have also been discovered in the underground gypsum mines in Piedmont. During the late 80s and 90s several multidisciplinary studies were carried out in many gypsum areas, resulting in a comprehensive overview, promoting further research in these special karst regions. More recent and detailed studies focused…
Analysis and reconstruction in stages of the design and construction process of the old and new basilica of S. Peter in Vatican, and its surroundings
2020
Resumen 1. Objetivos El objetivo general de esta Tesis Doctoral es reconstruir el proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua y nueva basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, y de su entorno cercano. De forma complementaria, se reconstruye la evolución de la trama urbana del área del Vaticano, desde su origen hasta la actualidad. La reconstrucción del proceso de diseño y construcción se realizará de forma descriptiva y, especialmente, de forma gráfica. Los planos se realizarán con gran detalle, a escala y con gran precisión, utilizando las más avanzadas herramientas de dibujo digital. La reconstrucción de las diferentes etapas del proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua basílica se r…
On Augmented Reality for the Learning of 3D-Geometric Contents: A Preliminary Exploratory Study with 6-Grade Primary Students
2019
Nowadays, Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the emerging technologies with a greater impact in the Education field. Research has proved that AR-based activities improve the teaching and learning processes. Also, the use of this type of technology in classroom facilitates the understanding of contents from different areas as Arts, Mathematics or Science. In this work we propose an AR-based instruction in order to explore the benefits in a 6th-grade Primary course related to 3D-geometry shapes. This first experiment, designed from an exploratory approach, will shed light on new study variables to perform new implementations whose conclusions become more consistent. The results obtained allow u…
Directionlets: Anisotropic Multidirectional representation with separable filtering
2006
In spite of the success of the standard wavelet transform (WT) in image processing in recent years, the efficiency of its representation is limited by the spatial isotropy of its basis functions built in the horizontal and vertical directions. One-dimensional (1-D) discontinuities in images (edges and contours) that are very important elements in visual perception, intersect too many wavelet basis functions and lead to a nonsparse representation. To efficiently capture these anisotropic geometrical structures characterized by many more than the horizontal and vertical directions, a more complex multidirectional (M-DIR) and anisotropic transform is required. We present a new lattice-based pe…
G-CLASS: geosynchronous radar for water cycle science – orbit selection and system design
2019
The mission geosynchronous – continental land atmosphere sensing system (G-CLASS) is designed to study thediurnal water cycle, using geosynchronous radar. Although the water cycle is vital to human society, processes on timescalesless than a day are very poorly observed from space. G-CLASS, using C-band geosynchronous radar, could transform this. Itsscience objectives address intense storms and high resolution weather prediction, and significant diurnal processes such assnow melt and soil moisture change, with societal impacts including agriculture, water resource management, flooding, andlandslides. Secondary objectives relate to ground motion observations for earthquake, volcano, and subs…
Conoscere da “outsider within”. L’ordine femminile delle emozioni
2018
Il saggio in oggetto propone una riflessione critica sulle gerarchie del sapere che si intersecano alle «strutture di genere» (Bourdieu 2009), e che hanno legittimato dispositivi, capacità e attitudini cognitivo-valutative gerarchizzate e androcentriche. Evidenzia come il pensiero al femminile abbia privilegiato forme del conoscere – come la sensazione, la percezione e la rappresentazione – che il pensiero dominante ha relegato nella fluidità sommersa delle attività inconsapevoli o illogiche. Riprende le teorie di alcune studiose tardo moderne e contemporanee - Edith Stein, Arlie Hochschild e Martha Nussbaum fra le altre - per evidenziarne le strategie di analisi e i temi portanti all’inter…
Elementi trasversali ai processi di rilevazione della qualità della vita accademica
2018
In relazione alle linee guida relative alla proposta del gruppo QoL per la rilevazione della qualità della vita accademica, il sottogruppo che si è occupato dell’area tematica “processo” si è concentrato sull’analisi di coerenza tra il framework teorico e la metodologia proposta. Tale lavoro ha richiesto di ricostruire le modalità di gestione del processo che potessero sostenere la nostra lettura disciplinare specifica per lo sviluppo di competenze organizzative nel contesto universitario, ed evidenziarne il valore aggiunto. In quest’ottica, non ci siamo soffermati su un modello ideale costruito a tavolino, ma abbiamo preventivamente ricostruito le logiche e le pratiche di intervento sottes…
Commento ai commi 41, 42, 43, 44 della “riforma Orlando”
2017
Il lavoro esplora analiticamente le tessiture normative del giudizio abbreviato modificato dalla “riforma Orlando” (infine approdata alla l. n. 103 del 2017), inventariandone gli impatti sulla struttura del rito e le derivazioni da prassi giurisprudenziali precedenti.
