Recovering Sicilian Silk Heritage through Digital Technologies: The Case of Piraino’s Collection
2022
Textile conservation has given rise to small and medium-sized museums, usually with scarce resources. In Sicily, the little evidence that remains of silk production and opulent imports by the rich and powerful local aristocracy is kept in museums, parishes, and other cultural institutions. The documentation, dissemination, and enhancement of such a fragile heritage is today possible by means of technological tools that provide novel means to preserve, analyze, and exploit digital information. In this paper, we present some outcomes of the SILKNOW project, a project that applies computing research to the needs of diverse users (museums, educational institutions, the tourism industry, creativ…
La historia a la calle: aprendizaje significativo y competencias desarrolladas con proyectos de aprendizaje en el entorno urbano
2019
[EN] In this paper is presented a teaching-learning project carried out in the Degree of History at the University of Valencia in which we are combining the service to the community with academic knowledge. The group of students carries out a history project developed in relation to the historical spaces of the urban environment to explain the city and the local context in relation to the global economic connections during the Early Modern period. This activity allows students to develop multiple skills that they can put into practice in their future jobs. The results indicate that they have been able to solve historical problems in an innovative and creative way, allowing them to acquire a…

The BRICS Centres of Dispute Resolution: causes, state of the art, and prospects
2023
The idea of an enhanced cooperation and exchange of knowledge and best practices among its member states in the fields of trade, commerce, and investments -among others- is at the heart of BRICS. In fact, intra-BRICS trade has nearly tripled over the last decade, supported by an increase in intra-regional trade for all member countries. Thanks to their influential and remarkable progress in promoting local currency (for de-dollarisation purposes), regional FDI, and regional trade, the BRICS economies have emerged and have taken a new space in the twenty-first century. This reinforced one of the core objectives pursued by BRICS which is that of enhancing the five developing economies’ role i…

A virtual reconfiguration of two destroyed neighborhoods in the Old Town of Palermo
2018
The proposed contribution deals with the topic of virtual three-dimensional reconstructions on an urban scale. The choice was oriented on significant samples of city portions that over the centuries have undergone substantial transformations or distortions: the aim is to reconstruct their history backwards, starting from the current survey and using the tools of virtual representation to reconfigure the forms of the past and tell their events. From here comes the idea to create, for pieces, a hypertextual study of the urban image of Palermo: the theme of the transformation of the city, of change and of complexity, opens up differentiated research paths. The hypertext choice was almost obvio…
Students’ Perceptions of Instructional Rubrics in Neurological Physical Therapy and Their Effects on Students’ Engagement and Course Satisfaction
2021
One of the main challenges faced by physical therapy (PT) students is to learn the practical skills involved in neurological physical therapy (PT). To help them to acquire these skills, a set of rubrics were designed for formative purposes. This paper presents the process followed in the creation of these rubrics and their application in the classroom, noting that students perceived them as valid, reliable, and highly useful for learning. The perception of the validity and usefulness of the rubrics has different closely related dimensions, showing homogeneous values across the students´ sociodemographic and educational variables, with the exception of dedication to studying, which showed a …
Arte Textil y tradición en la Provincia de Catamarca, Noroeste Argentino
2019
espanolLas tradiciones textiles en la Provincia de Catamarca, constituyen parte de una identidad cultural conformada a partir de elementos muy pujantes provenientes de distinto origen. Estos se traslucen tanto en estilos y tecnicas de piezas de exquisita estetica y calidad. Evidencian ademas, la historia de las industrias y manufacturas textiles que aportaron al desarrollo de esta actividad, considerada por sus habitantes como parte de su idiosincracia que -lamentablemente- con los anos tiende a desaparecer. EnglishThe textile traditions in the province of Catamarca, are part of a cultural identity formed from very vigorous elements from different origins. These are permeated both styles an…
Axiology of the historial city and the cap rate. The case of the old town of Ragusa Superiore
2017
Il contributo affronta il tema del ruolo che il mercato immobiliare assume nei processi di valorizzazione dei tessuti urbani storici nella logica dell’approccio al valor capitale. L’articolazione, eterogeneità e multi-contestualità del patrimonio immobiliare della città storica, la molteplicità delle relazioni tra valori e prezzo, la complessa dialettica fondo/flusso, l’eterogeneità dei profili dei soggetti economici che interagiscono nel mercato, danno vita ad un assortimento di approcci all’investimento immobiliare che in questo contributo, attraverso l’analisi del saggio di capitalizzazione si intendono rappresentare. La convergenza tra valori di contesto e potenzialità inespresse da una…
