Integrative Biomimetics of Autonomous Hexapedal Locomotion

2019

Despite substantial advances in many different fields of neurorobotics in general, and biomimetic robots in particular, a key challenge is the integration of concepts: to collate and combine research on disparate and conceptually disjunct research areas in the neurosciences and engineering sciences. We claim that the development of suitable robotic integration platforms is of particular relevance to make such integration of concepts work in practice. Here, we provide an example for a hexapod robotic integration platform for autonomous locomotion. In a sequence of six focus sections dealing with aspects of intelligent, embodied motor control in insects and multipedal robots-ranging from comp…

MOTOR COORDINATION DIFFICULTIES IN CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

2016

Nowadays increasing the number of children with learning disabilities in comprehensive schools of Latvia, so it is necessary preventive measures during schooltime. One of the support measures are short movement activity in academic lessons. The aim of article is theoretical analyze the correlations between motor coordination difficulties and the child's academic achievement and find out primary school teachers' views on possible support for children with learning disabilities. Main findings – development of motor coordination in children of primary schools is effective when using short movement breaks in classroom. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, a su…

Necesidad de una coordinación socio-sanitaria ante situaciones de emergencia social en las localidades de Xàtiva y Ontinyent (España)

2019

This article try to show up whether there is a need to coordinate the local Social Services (“SS.SS” in Spanish) with the Emergency Health Care Service (“SAMU” in Spanish) from both Xàtiva and Ontinyent (towns of the Community of Valencia) in order to allow an integrated care, carried out using an ad-hoc survey completed by (“SAMU” in Spanish) health workers and social workers from both Xàtiva and Ontinyent making up a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study. Some of the results show that all the professionals point out the absolute need to coordinate the SAMU with the (“SS.SS” in Spanish) and that almost all of the sample believe that it is essential or necessary to implement …

Progetti per raccontare la città

2020

Nell’ambito di una ricerca interdipartimentale il lavoro presenta l’esperienza di coordinamento di una attività progettuale condotta con giovani laureati nel centro storico di Caltabellotta, i cui lavori si offrono come occasione per aiutare la città a precisare intenzioni e atteggiamenti, riflessioni e azioni per innescare processi reali di rigenerazione. Un testo iniziale precisa e racconta le finalità del coordinamento.

The Design of Effective Maintenance Outsourcing Contracts

2009

Recent developments in maintenance planning and management demonstrate that the establishment of optimized maintenance policies may drastically improve the performance and reduce the operating cost of facilities. However maintenance activities are typically outside of the core business of production facilities, hence enterprises often fail to catch the opportunities that may originate by properly optimized management strategies. A strategic maintenance management should hence encompass the possibility of outsourcing maintenance activities to ensure the necessary perfomance of production systems, while allowing enterprises to concentrate their resources on their core activities. In order to …

MAC design on real 802.11 devices: From exponential to Moderated Backoff

2016

In this paper we describe how a novel backoff mechanism called Moderated Backoff (MB), recently proposed as a standard extension for 802.11 networks, has been prototyped and experimentally validated on a commercial 802.11 card before being ratified. Indeed, for performance reasons, the time critical operations of MAC protocols, such as the backoff mechanism, are implemented into the card hardware/firmware and cannot be arbitrarily changed by third parties or by manufacturers only for experimental reasons. Our validation has been possible thanks to the availability of the so called Wireless MAC Processor (WMP), a prototype of a novel wireless card architecture in which MAC protocols can be p…

La nueva regulaciòn del contrato por proyecto en el ordenamiento italiano

2015

El estudio, desde la perspectiva de una reconstrucción general del trabajo económicamente dependiente en el ordenamiento italiano, examina las modificaciones que introdujo la Ley de reforma del mercado de trabajo de 2012 en el contrato por proyecto y en la regulación de otros tipos de trabajo por cuenta propia, como las –así llamadas– falsas partite IVA

The Introduction of the “Balanced Budget” Principle into the Italian Constitution: What Perspectives for the Financial Autonomy of Regional and Local…

2013

This paper analyses the impact on regional and local authorities of Articles 117 and 119 of the Italian Constitution as amended by Constitutional Law no. 1/2012. In particular, it attempts to verify whether the new formulation of these constitutional provisions materializes the risk of a significant reduction in the financial autonomy of both Regions and Local Governments. With the constitutional reform the legislative competence of “harmonization of public account” has become an exclusive State competence, the “balanced budget” principle has been extended to Regions and local authorities and public borrowing has been broadly prohibited. What is the actual significance of the changes introd…

Körperkoordinations test für Kinder: A short form is not fully satisfactory

2022

Assessment of motor competence (MC) is crucial to finding deficiencies in children's motor development. Because of the need to ensure validity, reliability, and feasibility, the selection of contemporary testing batteries is a difficult task. Many papers report the validity of the KTK test in describing MC in school aged children. KTK consists of 4 four separate items: walking back, jumping sideways, moving sideways, and hopping for height. Some authors suggested the use of a short version of KTK that includes 3 items excluding one subtest: hopping for height. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of short versions of Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK). A sample of 2,231 part…
