Soundscape design through evolutionary engines
2008
Abstract Two implementations of an Evolutionary Sound Synthesis method using the Interaural Time Difference (ITD) and psychoacoustic descriptors are presented here as a way to develop criteria for fitness evaluation. We also explore a relationship between adaptive sound evolution and three soundscape characteristics: keysounds, key-signals and sound-marks. Sonic Localization Field is defined using a sound attenuation factor and ITD azimuth angle, respectively (Ii, Li). These pairs are used to build Spatial Sound Genotypes (SSG) and they are extracted from a waveform population set. An explanation on how our model was initially written in MATLAB is followed by a recent Pure Data (Pd) impleme…
Gestión de proyectos: antecedentes y consecuentes en el contexto del proyecto y de la organización
2020
En los entornos actuales, caracterizados por altos niveles de competitividad e incertidumbre, las organizaciones se han enfocado en desarrollar sus actividades a través de proyectos, orientados al logro de los objetivos estratégicos. La gestión de proyectos [Project Management (PM)], se refiere a la aplicación de conocimientos, habilidades, herramientas, técnicas, métodos y competencias, a las actividades de los proyectos, con el objetivo alcanzar el éxito en el desempeño de los mismos. En este sentido, la PM, ha adquirido una alta relevancia, por el impacto que genera en la competitividad de las empresas y en el desarrollo económico de los países. A nivel científico, se han logrado avances…

Rooftop Oasis. Re-commoning urban natures. Regenerating So-Ho and its energies
2022
In the age of increasing global warming, in an era in which sustainable design practicies are entering the mainstream of the profession, we must develop novel ways of design thinking that must address a variety of dominans. The contribution describes present and future paradigms of city design.

Musica a Palermo al tempo dei Chiaromonte: il Liber continens capitula per totum annum (ms. 8) e il Cantus diversi ad usum Panormitanae Ecclesiae (ms…
2020
Dopo aver delineato un quadro generale della musica a Palermo nel Trecento, il contributo si incentra su due codici conservati presso l'Archivio Storico Diocesano di Palermo: il "Liber continens capitula per totum annum" e il "Cantus diversi ad usum Panormitanae Ecclesiae". Dei due codici si esplicitano alcune caratteristiche degne di interesse, in particolare la presenza nel primo dell’antifona "Salve regina" tropata, e nel secondo della sequenza "Victimae paschali laudes" con varianti testuali che permettono di cogliere alcune specificità della tradizione liturgico-musicale siciliana.
When Soundscape Studies Encounter Buddhism : Methodology Development of Soundscape Studies conducted at Chinese Buddhist Temples
2012
The ethnographic ideals of ‘reflectiveness’ and ‘openness’ inspire the researcher to think deeply about how to develop ethnographic soundscape methodology during the research process. This Paper focuses on developing adaptive research methods for soundscape studies on Chinese Buddhist temples. Chinese Buddhist temples are monasteries and dwelling places of monks. They are also the miniature of “pure land”. Temples have been considered as the landmarks of quiet and peace in China for thousands of years. What and how are the soundscapes of Buddhist temples? Have any changes happened in the soundscapes? How does the Buddhist way of thinking about hearing impact the Buddhists’ way of hearing? W…
Participation in Social Media: Studying Explicit and Implicit Forms of Participation in Communicative Social Networks
2016
The diverse forms of participation in social media raise many methodological and ethical issues that should be acknowledged in research. In this paper, participation in social media is studied by utilising the framework of explicit and implicit participation. The focus is on the communicative and communal aspects of social media. The aim of the paper is to promote the reconsideration of what constitutes participation when online users create connections rather than content. The underlying argument is that research on social media and the development of methods should concentrate more on implicit forms of participation.
The Export Strategy and SMEs Employment Resilience During Slump Periods
2021
Abstract The Spanish economy was the most hit by the Great Recession. It suffered a greater decrease in the gross domestic product (GDP) (affecting especially internal demand). However, it suffered a greater increase in exports (the so-called Spanish “miracle”). Particularly, Spanish SMEs incorporation into exports has been spectacular since 2008. Further, this has coincided with a huge increase in unemployment. Therefore, our main objective is to investigate the moderating role of exports in job destruction associated with recessive contexts of domestic demand using Spanish manufacturing SMEs as a case study. We obtain for SMEs that export participation helps compensate for the decrease in…
