The dual nature of mobile games: between escapism and finding a community
2021
Maģistra darbā tiek apskatīta mobilo spēļu duālā daba starp eskeipismu un komūnu (alianse S), kas tiek bāzēta BTK. Šī pētījuma ietvaros tiek skatīts kā komūna un eskeipisms sadzīvo, pastiprina un vai atrodas pretrunā viens ar otru. Galvenās izmantotās datu ievākšanas metodes ir daļēji atvērtā aptauja, daļēji strukturētas intervijas, dalība un novērojums, kā arī pētījums daļēji balstīts uz auto-etnogrāfiju. Pētījuma laikā tiek skatīts komūnas un eskeipisma koncepts un ietekme uz spēlētājiem, tostarp tiek skatīta arī pavadītā laika ietekme uz pieredzi, Covid-19 pandēmijas ietekmi un pētījumu veikšanu digitālajā vidē. Maģistra darbā tiek pamatots pieņēmums, ka mobilās spēles pašā būtībā nav ne…
mHealth for the Monitoring of Brace Compliance and Wellbeing in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis: Study Protocol for a Feasibility Study
2021
Escoliosis idiopática del adolescente; Aplicación móvil; Eficacia del tratamiento Escoliosi idiopàtica de l'adolescent; Aplicació mòbil; Eficàcia del tractament Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis; Mobile application; Treatment effectiveness Attempts to optimize monitoring of brace adherence prescribed to adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) have generally relied on sensors. Sensors, however, are intrusive and do not allow the assessment of psychological and physical consequences of brace use that might underlie poor adherence. Mobile applications have emerged as alternatives to monitor brace compliance. However, the feasibility and utility of these app-based systems to assess key psychol…
Real-life assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis patients using mobile technology: the mySinusitisCoach project by EUFOREA
2020
Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with a substantial personal and socioeconomic burden. Monitoring of patient‐reported outcomes by mobile technology offers the possibility to better understand real‐life burden of CRS. Methods This study reports on the cross‐sectional evaluation of data of 626 users of mySinusitisCoach (mSC), a mobile application for CRS patients. Patient characteristics of mSC users were analysed as well as the level of disease control based on VAS global rhinosinusitis symptom score and adapted EPOS criteria. Results The mSC cohort represents a heterogeneous group of CRS patients with a diverse pattern of major sy…
Real-time clothoid approximation by Rational Bezier curves
2008
This paper presents a novel technique for implementing Clothoidal real-time paths for mobile robots. As first step, rational Bezier curves are obtained as approximation of the Fresnel integrals. By rescaling, rotating and translating the previously computed RBC, an on-line Clothoidal path is obtained. In this process, coefficients, weights and control points are kept invariant. This on-line approach guarantees that an RBC has the same behavior as the original Clothoid using a low curve order. The resulting Clothoidal path allows any two arbitrary poses to be joined in a plane. RBCs working as Clothoids are also used to search for the shortest bounded-curvature path with a significant comput…
Design and implementation of an augmented reality application for rock art visualization in Cova dels Cavalls (Spain)
2019
[EN] Prehistoric rock art paintings, specifically rock-shelters exposed to environmental and anthropogenic factors, are usually faint and severely damaged, being them difficult to identify and understand by visitors. Augmented Reality (AR) supplements reality with virtual information superimposed onto the real world. This sensor-based technology in smartphones/tablets can improve the paintings experience displaying the 2D digital tracings overlapped onto the real scene (rock with faint paintings). This paper presents an AR application (app) developed in Cova dels Cavalls that shows a recreation of a possible original composition full of motifs with descriptive information to improve current…
Des os dans les fossés et des animaux dans les enclos : diversité des fonctions et limites des interprétations
1999
Des animaux vivants ont pu sejourner de maniere temporaire ou permanente dans certaines des enceintes qui parsement la Gaule au deuxieme Âge du Fer. Mais ils ont pu egalement y etre mis mort, manges ou abandonnes a la decomposition. La diversite des fonctions qu'ont pu remplir les enclos vis-a-vis de l'elevage et de l'usage des animaux est grande. Notre propos est d'essayer de voir dans quelle mesure il est possible de les restituer, et quels indices peuvent nous aider dans cette demarche.
Life cycle energy performances and environmental impacts of a prefabricated building module
2018
Abstract The paper explores the energy performances and environmental impacts of a prefabricated building module located in Messina (Sicily, Italy) through an approach that combines both the non-steady state building simulation and the Life Cycle Assessment methodology. The building uses renewable energy technologies and is usable in emergency situations or as simply temporary housing. Results show that the building module causes the emission of 1.5 t of CO2eq/m2 and consumes 29.2 GJ/m2 of primary energy during its life cycle. The building achieves the Net Zero Energy Building target even if it has relevant environmental impacts in the materials production stage (72% on average of the total…
AHBIM for Wooden Built Heritage Conservation
2019
The chapter investigates the potential offered by the Building Information Modeling for the conservation of the wooden architectural heritage. Based on the architectural survey, the BIM modeling of a South Tyrolean farm was carried out, with particular attention to the aspects related to its management and maintenance. Inside the database connected to the model, information about the building has been included, which can also be used on site through the use of mobile devices. The sharing of such information within a single platform avoids risks connected to the failure or incorrect transmission of data, allowing the optimization of the management, maintenance and conservation of the archite…
Due Volumi sull'Architettura Sostenibile
2011
Gli edifici contribuiscono per più del 40% al consumo di energia non rinnovabile e all’emissione di elevatissime quantità di CO2. Tra gli effetti che l’emergenza ambientale ha avuto nell'ambito della progettazione e della pianificazione, vi è sicuramente una vastissima produzione scientifica volta alla definizione di una pratica architettonica sempre più sensibile ai problemi del risparmio energetico e della salvaguardia dell’ambiente. Tra la letteratura di riferimento ritroviamo numerosi testi concepiti con un voluto taglio didattico, al fine di fornire precise indicazioni di progetto e di calcolo ai principali attori del settore (architetti, ingegneri, costruttori, studenti ecc.) che per …
Il restauro del monumento Gravina Bonanno di Montevago nel camposanto di S. Orsola a Palermo
2013
Oggetto della pubblicazione è la tomba mausoleo nel cimitero di S. Orsola di Palermo per Pellegra Gravina Bonanno di Montevago, ultima discendente ed unica erede dei principi di Montevago, tra i cui congiunti erano illustri personalità come il generale Federico Carlo Gravina (lo sconfitto della battaglia di Trafalgar) e il Cardinale Pietro, arcivescovo di Palermo. Il monumento, che si configura come un tempio distico in antis dorico siculo e risente anche di influenze canoviane, viene qui attribuito alla progettazione dell’architetto Emmanuele Palazzotto (1798-1872), autore di importanti architetture a Palermo, tra cui i campanili neogotici sul Palazzo Arcivescovile, e all’esecuzione di Giu…
