Benefit of an animated simulation device for learning the highway code for deaf candidates : behavioural and physiological evaluation
2021
In France, the law called “loi handicap”, adopted on February 11th 2005, aims to ensure that people with disabilities benefit from the same conditions of access as all French citizens. The driving licence, because of its contribution to mobility, represents one of the major levers of an individual's general accessibility. Its successful completion improves social and professional integration. However, according to a parliamentary report of 2005, the success rate of deaf candidates in the theoretical exam of the highway code, allowing access to the practical exam of the driving license, was lower than that of hearing people.This thesis focuses on one of the possible causes of these differenc…
Contributi per città storiche accessibili tra didattica, ricerca e nuove prassi
2021
The essay is the introduction to the section of the volume 'Accessibility to the historical city' in which innovative essays on the dialectics between Conservation and Accessibility have converged, in the major Italian cities in which common reflections emerge on the need to develop the theme in an interdisciplinary approach, to devise a for-all planning coordinated with urban planning and territorial development dynamics, and to pursue targeted training for community-integrated specialists.
Introduction. The value of accessibility in the cultural and creative industries: Translation-driven settings
2020
This study focuses on the relationship between translation, accessibility and the cultural creative industries, as well as on the different varieties of genres included in these industries as cultures of accessibility. The accessibility of CCI has grown exponentially in different parts of the globe and has increasingly become part of projects of significant importance in contemporary societies that rely on informational, global, and networked systems of communication, i.e., developed countries. CCI exist within public-domain areas and are stimulated by the critical rethinking of the means which can be used to support cultural development. CCI are in fact driven by structures of the knowledg…
Accessibilità e fruizione delle raccolte
2015
Il contributo fa il punto sulla formazione universitaria nel campo dei beni culturali, evidenziando il progressivo depauperamento degli ambiti inerenti, in particolare, il patrimonio archivistico e bibliotecario, attraverso un esame dei dati MIUR e la comparazione dell'offerta formativa degli atenei. Viene evidenziato il nesso indispensabile tra la formazione specialistica e la possibilità di tutelare e valorizzare, consentire l'accessibilità e rendere 'pubblico' il patrimonio - secondo l'istanza che proviene da più parti, e che riguarda l'intero patrimonio culturale nelle sue varie forme e declinazioni -, facendone oggetto di una reale condivisione, necessariamente mediata dagli specialist…
Young generation and accessibility to health dissemination: TikTok as a case study.
2022
Social media interactions represent an accessible way for young people to get health information and provide a form of public discourse about health. It is against this backdrop that experts and other health professionals have turned to digital platforms (e.g., TikTok) to share educational content about timely or touchy topics, and to spread awareness, specifically among younger users. This paper aims to explore these digital platforms where professionals provide health information that is specifically tailored for a young audience and attempts to explore the discursive negotiation of healthcare and health accessibility in digital social settings. In light of a social media critical discour…
Exploring Associations of Housing, Relocation, and Active and Healthy Aging in Sweden : Protocol for a Prospective Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study
2021
Background: While housing and neighborhood features have the potential to impact opportunities for active aging, there is a lack of knowledge related to how older people reason regarding their housing situation and how housing and fulfillment of relocation are associated with active and healthy aging. Objective: The objectives of Prospective RELOC-AGE are to study housing choices and relocation and explore effects on active and healthy aging among men and women aged 55 years and older in Sweden considering relocation. Methods: The estimated sample (2800) will include people aged 55 years and older being listed for relocation at either of two housing companies: a local public housing company…
Bioaccessibility Study of Aflatoxin B1 and Ochratoxin A in Bread Enriched with Fermented Milk Whey and/or Pumpkin
2021
The presence of mycotoxins in cereals and cereal products remains a significant issue. The use of natural ingredients such as pumpkin and whey, which contain bioactive compounds, could be a strategy to reduce the use of conventional chemical preservatives. The aim of the present work was to study the bioaccessibility of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin (OTA) in bread, as well as to evaluate the effect of milk whey (with and without lactic acid bacteria fermentation) and pumpkin on reducing mycotoxins bioaccessibility. Different bread typologies were prepared and subjected to an in vitro digestion model. Gastric and intestinal extracts were analyzed by HPLC–MS/qTOF and mycotoxins bio…
Pratiche di conoscenza e fruizione collettiva per un’accessibilità fisica e culturale del patrimonio monumentale
2022
I-Access, progetto Interreg Italia-Malta, si interroga sui temi dell’accessibilità fisica e culturale nei centri storici delle città di Palermo e La Valletta, accomunati da storie parallele di uomini, monumenti, spazi urbani. E lo fa con la costituzione di un gruppo formato da esperti di restauro architettonico e di design della comunicazione visiva, facendo dialogare i due ambiti disciplinari che condividono metodologie e strumenti di lavoro. In tal modo i dati materici e storiografici raccolti dai primi vengono tradotti in configurazioni visibili, leggibili, ordinate, in cui la nuova struttura narrativa consente la corretta accessibilità culturale del monumento e della sua storia. Insieme…
Evaluation of the Bioaccessibility of Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds and Minerals of Four Genotypes of
2019
Microgreens constitute an emerging class of fresh, healthy foods due to their nutritional composition. In this study the content of minerals and antioxidant bioactive compounds, and for the first time bioaccessibility, were evaluated in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck), green curly kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica L.), red mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) hydroponic microgreens. Macro- (K, Ca, Mg) and oligo-elements (Fe, Zn), ascorbic acid, total soluble polyphenols, total carotenoids, total anthocyanins, total isothiocyanates and total antioxidant capacity (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Ca…
