IEA EBC Annex83 Positive Energy Districts
2021
At a global level, the need for energy efficiency and an increased share of renewable energy sources is evident, as is the crucial role of cities due to the rapid urbanization rate. As a consequence of this, the research work related to Positive Energy Districts (PED) has accelerated in recent years. A common shared definition, as well as technological approaches or methodological issues related to PEDs are still unclear in this development and a global scientific discussion is needed. The International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (IEA EBC) Annex 83 is the main platform for this international scientific debate and research. This paper describes the challeng…
Assessing Urban Environmental Sustainability by Means of Indicators: The Case of the Heritage Buildings
2002
Man in developed countries is looking for new and more suitable paradigms of a correct evolution, founded on an improved level of quality of life, on a pollution-free environment and on the availability of rising amount of time to be spent in pleasure and cultural activities.
Una piazza per il Belìce. Strategie per il Territorio Arcipelago
2019
Le grandi città globali non sono più gli unici contesti per la competizione territoriale: l’Italia è un importante esempio di un nuovo sistema di piccole e medie città, una sorta di arcipelago di spazi tenuti insieme da identità locali, animato dalle comunità, ma frenati da geografie impervie. L’articolo definisce come un territorio può applicare protocolli e azioni innovativi per la sfida dell’Italia interna. Questa “Inner Italy” può essere una piattaforma per l’innovazione locale, lo sviluppo sostenibile, la resilienza ecologica e sociale e la coesione territoriale, come mostrato nella letteratura internazionale, in riferimento sia al Territorio-Arcipelago (Carta, 2016), sia ai contesti u…
Krievijas Federācijas bruņojuma kontroles politika
2020
Maģistra darba „Krievijas Federācijas bruņojuma kontroles politika” mērķis ir analizēt Krievijas bruņojuma kontroles politiku Eiropas drošības kontekstā. Darbā aplūkoti teorētiskie skaidrojumi drošības konceptam, kā arī uzticību veicinošu mēru nozīme. Darba gaitā tiek skaidrots, kādi ir nosacījumi, kāpēc valstis izvēlas bruņojuma kontroles īstenošanu, kādi ir tās uzdevumi un kā tā ir attīstījusies. Lai aplūkoto Krievijas bruņojuma kontroles politiku, kā gadījumi izpētei ir izvēlēta stratēģiskā bruņojuma samazināšana, kā arī dalība konvencionālā bruņojuma kontroles mēros. Darbā analizēta Krievijas motivācija būt daļai no šiem bruņojuma kontroles mēriem, kā arī analizēta tās saistību ievēroša…
Äitien luottamuksen rakentuminen kasvattajiin varhaiskasvatuksen aloituksessa
2020
Vanhempien ja kasvattajien kasvatusyhteistyön sujuvuus heijastuu siihen, millaiseksi varhaiskasvatuksen aloitus muodostuu lapsen kokemuksena. Parhaimmillaan yhteistyön alkuvaihe tukee luottamuksen rakentumista vanhempien ja kasvattajien välille. Tässä artikkelissa kiinnostus kohdistuu luottamuksen rakentumisen prosessiin äitien näkökulmasta. Tarkastelemme miten luottamus kasvattajiin varhaiskasvatuksen instituutiossa rakentuu äitien puheessa heidän pohtiessaan lapsensa ensi kuukausia varhaiskasvatuksessa. Teoriasidonnaisen sisällönanalyysin tuella tutkimme, onko puheesta löydettävissä Rempelin, Holmesin ja Zannanin (1985) kuvaamia luottamuksen rakentumisen tasoja. Aineistona ovat viiden noi…
Ventilation Problems in Heritage Buildings
2007
The control of indoor conditions in heritage buildings, such as castles or museums, is of paramount importance for the proper preservation of the artworks kept in. As heritage buildings are often not equipped with HVAC systems, it is necessary to provide proper interventions and measures with the aim of monitoring and controlling indoor physical parameters. Moreover, another requirement should be achieved in such buildings, that is the maintenance of the safety conditions in presence of visiting people. This work reports the results of a survey carried on a hall of a historical palace, aimed to assess an useful correlation between CO2 concentration and occupancy levels.
Rīcība ar vidi degradējošām, sagruvušām vai cilvēka drošību apdraudošām būvēm
2016
Maģistra darbā autore pēta administratīvi tiesisko ietvaru pašvaldības rīcībai ar vidi degradējošām, sagruvušām vai cilvēku drošību apdraudošām būvēm (graustiem). Lai panāktu būvju sakārtošanu, likumdevējs normatīvajos aktos pašvaldībai ir deleģējis tādus tiesiskos līdzekļus kā būves īpašnieka (tiesiskā valdītāja) administratīvā sodīšana, būves sakārtošana vai nojaukšana piespiedu kārtā, kā arī paaugstinātās nekustamā īpašuma nodokļa likmes piemērošana. Tomēr šo tiesisko līdzekļu realizācija praksē ir sarežģīta, dažādu iemeslu dēļ problemātiska vai neiespējama, kā rezultātā pašvaldība pienācīgi nevar nodrošināt tās iedzīvotāju tiesības dzīvot drošā un sakārtotā vidē. Pētījuma ietvaros tiek …
Sveriges irredenta : försvenskningen av de finskspråkiga i Norrbotten 1888-1921 ur identitetsbyggandets synvinkel
2009
In this study the task is to point out the key features in the making of a Swedish nation from the perspective of a minority language, i.e. the Finnish speaking minority in the region of Norrbotten, Sweden. Swedish historians usually list the fear of Russia (Russia, the arch-enemy -topos) and the Laestadian movement as main reasons for the policy of cultural assimilation of the Finnish-speaking minority. In this study the main task is to use the post modern discourse analysis (especially Michael Shapiro) in reading texts between the years 1888 and 1921. For this purpose I have gone through material of the period, i.e. debates in the Swedish Parliament, the newspaper Haparandabladet, pamflet…
Estimation of wind velocity over a complex terrain using the Generalized Mapping Regressor
2010
Abstract Wind energy evaluation is an important goal in the conversion of energy systems to more environmentally friendly solutions. In this paper, we present a novel approach to wind speed spatial estimation on the isle of Sicily (Italy): an incremental self-organizing neural network (Generalized Mapping Regressor – GMR) is coupled with exploratory data analysis techniques in order to obtain a map of the spatial distribution of the average wind speed over the entire region. First, the topographic surface of the island was modelled using two different neural techniques and by exploiting the information extracted from a digital elevation model of the region. Then, GMR was used for automatic …
