A Educação para a Cidadania Mundial como aposta de construção de um novo paradigma educativo
2018
Resumo : O objetivo com este estudo e refletir sobre a Cidadania Mundial, por meio de uma investigacao sobre o tema, considerando a evidencia da sua permanencia como prioridade na agenda educativa mundial, tanto para os paises desenvolvidos, quanto para os em desenvolvimento. A Educacao para a Cidadania Mundial tem cobrado ao longo dos ultimos anos um claro protagonismo na reflexao e nas praticas educativas, tanto das organizacoes nao governamentais quanto dos docentes mais comprometidos com um pensar e uma pratica pedagogica alternativa nas suas aulas. Sua inclusao preeminente na agenda global como raiz de sua definicao prioritaria para o marco da Global Education First Initiative (GEFI), …
Natural assets in the right-of-way of A-4 Motorway in the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park, Opole Region
2014
Construction of the A-4 Motorway section in the Opole Region begun in Summer 1997. Very soon vigorous resistance of ecological NGOs was encountered. The bone of contention was the section of motorway that passes through the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park and verges the natural reserve of strict protection Ligota Dolna where rare species of thermophilic plants are sheltered. Between 2011 and 2013 a detailed mycological, geobotanical, floristic and fauna research took place within the right-of-way of the A-4 Motorway section crossing the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park in the Opole Region. The survey revealed several rare and protected species of fungi, plants and animals along the road, i…
Continuous Improvement on Detailed Design Phase : A Process Perspective
2020
The construction project being studied is a government investment related to the relocation of a biomedical institute delivering research-based knowledge and contingency support in the fields of animal health, fish health and food safety. The project covers a total of 63,000 square meters distributed over 10 buildings with a very high degree of complexity. The design alone has required 1 million hours, which relates to a client cost of about 100 million Euro. The purpose of this paper is to study the applied methodology for managing the detailed design to identify lessons learned from the project. The theory underlying the study is inspired by lean design management and design theory linked…
Optimizing artificial neural networks for the evaluation of asphalt pavement structural performance
2019
Artificial Neural Networks represent useful tools for several engineering issues. Although they were adopted in several pavement-engineering problems for performance evaluation, their application on pavement structural performance evaluation appears to be remarkable. It is conceivable that defining a proper Artificial Neural Network for estimating structural performance in asphalt pavements from measurements performed through quick and economic surveys produces significant savings for road agencies and improves maintenance planning. However, the architecture of such an Artificial Neural Network must be optimised, to improve the final accuracy and provide a reliable technique for enriching d…
Leisure Boating Environmental Footprint: A Study of Leisure Marinas in Palermo, Italy
2022
Ports have played a significant role in the touristic development and further economic growth of Italy. It is the country with the highest number of berths among the nations in the Mediterranean Sea; over time, Italy has created ports with a range of functions. Therefore, it is of vital importance to evaluate the potential pollutants generated from these docks and propose ways to eliminate those problems. A survey that asked about the carbon footprint and the quality of the water in the water footprint calculation was created and distributed to the management of the marinas’ operations. After receiving the completed surveys, the data were analyzed and translated using emission factors into …
Progettare biblioteche nel mondo di Google
2015
"The world has been Googled. We don't search for information, we Google it" Così Ken Auletta, columnist del New York Times, definisce l’accesso all’informazione contemporaneo. Però nel "mondo di Google" paradossalmente la costruzione di nuove biblioteche si è incrementata in modo esponenziale. Ma anche sul piano qualitativo la biblioteca ha subito una radicale trasformazione: da mero deposito a luogo di lettura e di studio oggi la biblioteca è imperativamente luogo di socializzazione e quindi anche anche “luogo di transito” ed elemento urbano. Il testo, scritto da un architetto, analizza il fenomeno nello specifico della progettazione architettonica analizzando l’evoluzione che questa tipol…
Empirical links between natural mortality and recovery in marine fishes
2017
Probability of species recovery is thought to be correlated with specific aspects of organismal life history, such as age at maturity and longevity, and how these affect rates of natural mortality ( M ) and maximum per capita population growth ( r max ). Despite strong theoretical underpinnings, these correlates have been based on predicted rather than realized population trajectories following threat mitigation. Here, we examine the level of empirical support for postulated links between a suite of life-history traits (related to maturity, age, size and growth) and recovery in marine fishes. Following threat mitigation (medium time since cessation of overfishing = 20 years), 71% of 55 tem…
Environmental Assessment of an Innovative High-Performance Experimental Agriculture Field
2022
To increase food availability, optimizing production systems and reducing burdens related to human activities is essential in a scenario of population growth and limited natural resources. In this context, the life cycle methodology can represent a valuable asset for assessing the environmental performance of agricultural products and services. This study sought to investigate and characterize potential impacts of an experimental tomato field at the University of Perugia and evaluate if the production increment obtained using high-reflective mulching compensated for the emissions caused by this extra component. The first-year crop campaign was the baseline reference to measure the system’s …

Emerging Joint Expertise? Multiagency Collaboration Described in Local Integration Programmes in Finland
2016
Multiagency collaboration is seen as an essential way of working to promote the two-way integration of newcomers and a receiving society. The term multiagency collaboration underlines the diversity of actors in cooperation. Cross-sectorial networks are mentioned in higher strategies as well as in the local programmes or plans for action. But how is multiagency work structured at the local level? This article looks at the examples of multiagency collaboration in the written documents of local integration programmes in the Finnish context. The examples are chosen from different areas. It seems that collaboration is widely emphasized as a goal or a working method. Whereas expertise in integrat…
