Built Environment and Wellbeing—Standards, Multi-Criteria Evaluation Methods, Certifications
2022
The debate on IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality), with a focus on the healthiness of the built environment and its possible influence on the natural environment, has been a relevant topic for a decade. This interest has expanded to the quality of building technologies, specifically their performances and environmental effects. The objectives set by the 2030 Agenda have led to overcome the idea that sustainability is only related to environment; instead, a holistic vision aimed at human health has been affirmed (objective 3). The period marked by the Covid19 emergency contributed to strengthen the need for human well-being, as the “quarantine” made us observe our living spaces, r…
Estimation of wind velocity over a complex terrain using the Generalized Mapping Regressor
2010
Abstract Wind energy evaluation is an important goal in the conversion of energy systems to more environmentally friendly solutions. In this paper, we present a novel approach to wind speed spatial estimation on the isle of Sicily (Italy): an incremental self-organizing neural network (Generalized Mapping Regressor – GMR) is coupled with exploratory data analysis techniques in order to obtain a map of the spatial distribution of the average wind speed over the entire region. First, the topographic surface of the island was modelled using two different neural techniques and by exploiting the information extracted from a digital elevation model of the region. Then, GMR was used for automatic …
The MIMOSE Approach to Support Sustainable Forest Management Planning at Regional Scale in Mediterranean Contexts
2017
In recent decades, Mediterranean landscapes have been affected by human-induced drivers, such as land use and climate change. Forest ecosystems and landscapes have been particularly affected in mountainous regions due to limited management and stewardship, especially in remote areas. Therefore, there is a need to set up new strategies to enhance ecosystem services in forested areas which, in turn, will benefit local communities and economies. In this study, we implemented a new approach—Multiscale Mapping of Ecosystem Services (MIMOSE)—to assess ecosystem services in Mediterranean forests located in a mountainous region of Italy. We spatially assessed timber provision and carbon sequestrati…
Proceeding Book of 12th European Symposium on Religious art, Restoration & Conservation
2022
Fundamental contribution to filling out the condition reports of the work of arts involved in temporary exhibitions is provided by non-invasive investigation techniques. Investigation, carried out before and after the movement, allow to collect objective data to monitoring the surface or structural alterations and defining the state of conservation, representing an important moment of deepening of knowledge. Generally, these aspects often are left to photographic documentation and observations by conservators and curators. An example of good practice is represented by the case of the Saint Gregory Polyptych (Antonello da Messina, 1473) belonging to the Regional Museum of Messina (Italy). Th…
The Relationship between Knowledge Characteristics’ Fit and Job Satisfaction and Job Performance: The Mediating Role of Work Engagement
2020
Knowledge workers are highly valued by organizations, but there is a lack of evidence about the role of work engagement in the satisfaction and performance of these workers. Harmonization and Person&ndash
Inspiriting Innovation: The Effects of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) on Innovative Behavior as Mediated by Mindfulness and Work Engagement
2021
Continuous innovation has become a key to gaining a sustainable competitive advantage for organizations in the 21st century. By focusing on the underlying mechanisms (i.e., mindfulness and work engagement) by which it works, this study addresses the quality of leader–member relationships and their relevance for innovation in the workplace. Using a sample of 210 employees from 17 Spanish companies, a two-wave longitudinal design evaluated the mediational roles of mindfulness and engagement between leader–member exchange (LMX) quality and innovative work behavior (IWB) in an organizational context. Over the course of a year, two questionnaires were administered to measure LMX quality, mindful…
Acs zīlītes monitoringa ierīces izveide
2021
Maģistra darbs „Acs zīlītes monitoringa ierīces izveide” uzrakstīts latviešu valodā, datorsalikumā uz 36 lapām. Tas satur 28 attēlus, 3 tabulas un 26 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis: Izveidot mobilu acs zīlītes reakcijas analītisko ierīci, kas ieraksta acs zīlītes lieluma izmaiņas dinamikā. Metode: Darbā no komerciāli pieejamām elektronikas komponentēm tika izveidota ierīce – brilles, ar kurām var mērīt zīlītes lieluma izmaiņas nēsāšanas laikā. Secinājumi: Ar pieejamajiem materiāliem un programmēšanas risinājumiem ir iespējams izveidot ierīci zīlītes lieluma monitoringam, bet ir nepieciešama ierīces smalkāka testēšana un kalibrēšana, lai tā būtu pielietojama dinamiskiem mērīju…
Kibertiranizēšanas pieredzes, uztvertās vecāku pārraudzības un ārpusstundu aktivitāšu biežuma saistības pusaudžiem
2018
Kibertiranizēšana ir strauji progresējošs, nereti anonīms vienaudžu savstarpējās vardarbības veids, kura aktualitāte aug līdz ar straujo tehnoloģiju attīstību. Tā bieži norisinās papildus tiranizēšanai skolas vidē un atstāj nopietnas sekas uz iesaistītajiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas saistības pastāv starp kibertiranizēšanas pieredzi, uztverto vecāku pārraudzību un ārpusstundu aktivitāšu biežumu pusaudžiem un vai pastāv nozīmīgas atšķirības starp šiem mainīgajiem zēnu un meiteņu grupās. Pētījumā piedalījās 97 pusaudži vecumā no 14 līdz 16 gadiem (M=14,97; SD=0,84). Tika izmantotas trīs metodes - Eiropas kibermobinga intervences projekta aptauja (Del Rey et al., 2015), Vecāku uz…
Monitoringa metožu pielietojums gāzes krātuvju hermētiskuma novērtēšanai
2015
Maģistra darbs ietver informāciju par dabasgāzes uzglabāšanai paredzētajām ģeoloģiskajām struktūrām pasaulē un Latvijā. Darbs atspoguļo problēmas, kuras saistītas ar pazemes gāzes krātuvju izveidi, tajā skaitā ģeoloģiskās struktūras hermētiskumu, kas ir viena no galvenajām prasībām drošai dabasgāzes uzglabāšanai. Darbā ietverts monitoringa metožu apskats, un ģeoloģiskās struktūras hermētiskuma izpēte Latvijas teritorijā esošajā Inčukalna lokālajā pacēlumā, Olaines - Inčukalna valnī. Pētījuma analizēts ģeoloģiskās struktūras hermētiskums, izmantojot kompleksā monitoringa metodes un sniegts dabasgāzes uzglabāšanas ģeoloģiskajā struktūrā ietekmes novērtējums uz ģeoloģisko vidi.
