Inclusive Design for Alzheimer’s Disease: Low-cost Treatments, Design and ICT
2019
Inability to acquire new memories, difficulty to remember recent events and to recognize objects, places and people, visual-spatial disorientation, these are some of the disorders with which who is affected by neurological diseases must learn to live with. In a continuously evolving society, where the decreasing birth rate and the drops in mortality are consistent, the job of Architecture is precisely to interpret the requirements and needs of people who have lost the canonical relationship with the world and give them the possibility to recover it or maintain it through communication channels that use their remaining ability to understand. The indoors and outdoors acquire a “prosthesis fun…
Dall’accesso all’inclusione: per una gestione human centered del patrimonio architettonico
2019
Within a wide disciplinary framework of technology, regardless of the specific ap- plication field, the aim of inclusion derives from awareness of the role of individuals and communities in the productive, transformative and conservative processes. In the latest developments of technological architectural design, both in the theoretical advances and in the operational experiences, inclusion is a topic of primary impor- tance. Many aspects of the traditional settlements contain manifold features of the current topic of inclusion, which meanings contribute to the social dimension of sustainability. The perspective of inclusion, also in the field of architectural heritage, requires a holistic …
L’ACCESSIBILITÀ NEL PATRIMONIO ARCHITETTONICO : approcci ed esperienze tra tecnologia e restauro
2021
Il volume raccoglie i contributi presentati in occasione della Giornata nazionale di studi promossa dal Cluster Patrimonio Architettonico della SITdA (Società Italiana della Tecnologia dell’Architettura) e tenuta nel gennaio 2020 a Palermo. L’evento è stato sostenuto dal Cluster SITdA Accessibilità Ambientale e ha coinvolto attivamente gli studiosi aderenti alla SIRA (Società Italiana Restauro Architettonico), con l’obiettivo di raccogliere diversi orientamenti teoretici e metodologici, allo scopo di delineare future comuni strategie di ricerca su un argomento centrale per la contemporanea visione condivisa dell’ambiente costruito con valore culturale. Le sezioni del volume sono dedicate ai…
Ethics, Use, and Inclusion in Managing Archaeological Built Heritage: The Relationship Between Experts and Visitors/Users
2020
The main factor for the emergence of the idea of architectural heritage and the primary imperative for its conservation has been an awareness of the distance of this heritage from the present (as evident in the technological, typological, and morphological features of artifacts. This distance has established the conditions for built heritage (and, in particular, archaeological built heritage) to become something of an ivory tower: a niche field, devoted mostly to cultured people and where only specialist experts have a say. The only “legitimized relationship” between expert and “visitor” has often been a “top-down relationship, in which the expert ‘translates’ […] the site and its meanings …
Considerazioni per la fruizione inclusiva del centro storico di Alcamo

IL COMFORT INDOOR, STRUMENTI LEGISLATIVI: PANORAMA LEGISLATIVO INTERNAZIONALE E NAZIONALE
2022
Già da qualche decennio si parla di IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) con particolare attenzione sulla salubrità dell’ambiente costruito e alla sua possibile influenza sulla sostenibilità ambientale. Tale interesse si è riversato per lo più sulla qualità dei prodotti e delle tecnologie dell’edilizia, incentrando la questione sulle prestazioni di essi e sugli effetti ambientali che essi generano. Con gli obiettivi previsti dall’Agenda 2030 si supera l’idea che la sostenibilità sia una prerogativa ambientale e si afferma una visione olistica mirata alla salute umana (obiettivo 3), emergendo la necessità di un passaggio da un approccio “Green” al costruito verso un approccio “Human Centred” c…
Executives' role in digital transformation
2022
This conceptual paper revisits and updates the concept of top management support (TMS), which has been the long-established rationale for explaining the role of top managers in digitalization activities. In our view, the concept of TMS is grounded in technological determinism, accounts for attitudinal and behavioral aspects that appear to be little more than exhortation and accepts the occasional responsibility of top managers in technology management. We consider both the crucial role that top managers may play in the digitalization process and the fact that digital technologies have become pervasive in today’s organizations. Then, we develop a model by which top managers and digital techn…
Wireless energy and information transmission in FSO and RF-FSO links
2018
We propose and analyze a wireless energy and information transmission scheme in free-space optical (FSO) links. The results are presented for both quasi-static and fast-fading conditions. We derive closed-form expressions for throughput, outage probability, and optimal power allocation optimizing the system throughput/outage probability. Finally, we complement the FSO link with an additional radio frequency (RF) link to create a hybrid RF-FSO system and reduce the system outage probability. The results show that joint implementation of the RF and FSO links leads to considerable performance improvement, compared to the cases with only FSO-based communication.
Eines web per a l'elaboració del Treball Final de Grau i Màster en Enginyeria Química
2014
La necessitat d'un gran volum d'informació per a l'elaboració de projectes de caràcter professional en Enginyeria Química pot esdevenir un greu problema en aquells casos en els quals el projecte ha de ser preparat pels alumnes per al seu Treball Fi de Grau o Treball Fi de Màster, ja que la consecució d'aquesta informació és complicada i implica, en moltes ocasions, una despesa econòmica important. Per resoldre aquest problema, l'objectiu d'aquest article és subministrar a l'estudiant eines web de lliure accés que li permeten tenir informació relativa a les parts del projecte que ha d'elaborar. Per a fer-ho s'ha realitzat una anàlisi dels camps en els quals l'estudiant necessita informació i…
Analysis of dust exposure during chainsaw forest operations
2017
Abstract: In 1999, the European Union proclaimed hardwood dust carcinogenic based on the classification of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) issued in 1995. The operational exposure limit (OEL) for inhalable wood dust has been set to 5 mg m-3 by EU directives, though in different countries the OEL ranges from 1 to 5 mg m-3. The objective of this study was to determine the exposure to wood dust of forest workers in chainsaw cutting and processing and suggest possible countermeasures. The study took into consideration different silvicultural treatments (coppice clear cut, conifer thinning, conifer pruning, and sanitary cut) and chainsaw fuel (normal two-stroke gasoline mi…
