Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…
Rethinking practices of assessment for learning: Tablet technology supported assessment for learning mathematics
2013
This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. It is challenging for teachers of large classes to regularly assess students' mathematics in order to help them improve their learning achievement. Given the complexity of assessing and providing feedback for learning, a new approach to assessment for learning was suggested. Media tablet technology supported assessment processes were devised and user studies were conducted in Norway and Rwanda. There are indications that students like to be involved in assessing each other's mathematics work. Students expect to get learning gains by providing and obtaining feedback to/from their peers using technology supported tools.
A new project management approach for R&D software projects in the automotive industry - continuous V-model
2017
Most current work activities in R&D centres are innovative and dynamic, with project management acting as the discipline that governs them. The improvement of PM methods has become a necessity due to the following main factors: classical methodologies are increasingly difficult to apply, cutbacks in project duration are requested by organisations and customers, demands for product quality are continuously expanding. The paper examines how PM concepts are used in developed R&D projects, based on the V-model approach. It also introduces an enhanced new approach called Continuous V-model - CVM, based on agile concepts. The model has been applied on a real automotive R&D project and the resulte…
Uzbekistānas nacionālās ekonomikas ilgtspējīga attīstība, pamatojoties uz investīciju projektiem.
2018
Izvēles tēmas aktualitāte nosaka fakts, ka laika gaitā atsevišķu reģionu un teritoriju pamatotam ilgtspējības līmenim. Tomēr lielākā daļa valstu izmanto ilgtspējīgus attīstības rādītājus, kas ļauj attīstīt ekonomiku, uzlabot sociālo un vides stāvokli. Pētījuma objekts ir Uzbekistānas Republikas tautsaimniecība, kas atrodas pārejas procesā uz tirgus ekonomiku, kur ilgtspējīgas attīstības jautājumi attīstība. Pētījuma priekšmets ir procesu un attiecību kopums, kas notiek Uzbekistānas tautsaimniecībā ilgtspējīgas attīstības sasniegšanā. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt reformu un investīciju projektu kvalitāti Uzbekistānas tautsaimniecības kardinālas restrukturizācijas dēļ un sniegt ieteikumu…
Impact of key users’ motivation on enterprise resource planning (erp) implemenentation project success
2016
Uzņēmuma Resursu Plānošanas programmatūras (URP) ieviešana saistās ar lielām izmaksām un darbinieku noslodzi, taču tā sniedz arī daudzas priekšrocības, tādejādi kļūstot par gandrīz obligātu attīstības priekšnosacījumu veiksmīgajiem uzņēmumiem. Šī promocijas darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kuri darbinieku motivācijas veidi spēlē lielāko lomu URP ieviešana procesā. Darba empīriskajā daļā tika analizēti vairāk kā 200 pabeigtie URP projekti, ļaujot izdarīt statistiski pamatotus secinājumus. Šī pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka izvēlētajiem motivācijas veidiem ir pozitīva ietekme uz URP projektu panākumiem, ļaujot izstrādāt ieteikumus uzņēmumu un projektu vadītājiem, kas palīdzētu uzlabot URP darbinieku k…
A Cost-Effective 3D Acquisition and Visualization Framework for Cultural Heritage
2020
Museums and cultural institutions, in general, are in a constant challenge of adding more value to their collections. The attractiveness of assets is practically tightly related to their value obeying the offer and demand law. New digital visualization technologies are found to give more excitements, especially to the younger generation as it is proven by multiple studies. Nowadays, museums around the world are currently trying to promote their collections through new multimedia and digital technologies such as 3D modeling, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and serious games. However, the difficulty and the resources required to implement such technologies present a real challen…
Nursing students' perceptions of a video-based serious game's educational value: A pilot study.
2018
Abstract Background Despite an increasing number of serious games (SGs) in nursing education, few evaluation studies specifically address their educational value in terms of face, content, and construct validity. Objectives To assess nursing students' perceptions of a video-based SG in terms of face, content, and construct validity. In addition, the study assessed perceptions of usability, individual factors, and preferences regarding future use. Design A pilot study was conducted. Setting and Participants An SG prototype was implemented as part of two simulation courses in nursing education: one for home health care and one for hospital medical-surgical wards. The SG aimed to teach clinica…
Re-build landscape. Design for the reuse of abandoned quarries
2021
Looking at the history of our geological and mining heritage, we can see the evolution of the role played by underground mining sites over the centuries. However, if the activity of quarrying stones is as old as the presence of humans on earth, the issue of the territorial regeneration, based on the recovery and re-functionalization of abandoned quarries, is one of the central arguments of the contemporary debate. The extractive activity that on one hand constitutes an important economic resource for numerous territories, on the other hand requires particular attention to the environmental impact it causes. The theme is that of the so-called drosscapes, soils and residual spaces, once margi…
Mapping and assessing ecosystem services in the EU:Lessons learned from the ESMERALDA approach of integration
2018
The European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action ESMERALDA aimed at developing guidance and a flexible methodology for Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) to support the EU member states in the implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy's Target 2 Action 5. ESMERALDA's key tasks included network creation, stakeholder engagement, enhancing ecosystem services mapping and assessment methods across various spatial scales and value domains, work in case studies and support of EU member states in MAES implementation. Thus ESMERALDA aimed at integrating various project outcomes around four major strands: i) Networking, ii) Policy, iii) Research an…
Governance of Projects: Generating value by linking projects with their permanent organisation
2019
Abstract There exists little research into how value is effectively generated by temporary projects from the wider perspective of a permanent organisation. This paper investigates empirically how ‘Governance of Projects’ – the way in which a single, permanent organisation identifies, creates, and subsequently harvests value through multiple projects – occurs in four private-sector case companies. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with a wide range of employees and from internal operational documents. These data were codified and analysed as evidence of the types and intensity of links between organisational elements. The results illuminate the complex interplay of links that are …
