Analysis and reconstruction in stages of the design and construction process of the old and new basilica of S. Peter in Vatican, and its surroundings
2020
Resumen 1. Objetivos El objetivo general de esta Tesis Doctoral es reconstruir el proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua y nueva basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, y de su entorno cercano. De forma complementaria, se reconstruye la evolución de la trama urbana del área del Vaticano, desde su origen hasta la actualidad. La reconstrucción del proceso de diseño y construcción se realizará de forma descriptiva y, especialmente, de forma gráfica. Los planos se realizarán con gran detalle, a escala y con gran precisión, utilizando las más avanzadas herramientas de dibujo digital. La reconstrucción de las diferentes etapas del proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua basílica se r…
Eficiencia en la gestión del abastecimiento urbano de agua: desarrollo de un sistema de apoyo a la toma de decisiones
2022
El agua es un recurso natural limitado, con un papel muy importante a nivel social e histórico ligado al desarrollo humano. Por esta razón, en 2010, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas reconoció el derecho al agua y al saneamiento como un derecho humano. Dentro de este marco, esta tesis pretende realizar una aportación en el campo de los DSS aplicados a la gestión de abastecimientos con el objetivo de plantear nuevas metodologías que ayuden a un servicio más sostenible y mejor aceptado por el ciudadano. El primer artículo de la tesis, para introducir las problemáticas actuales sobre la gestión de los abastecimientos, presenta la historia del abastecimiento de agua en la ciudad de Val…
Making conservation sustainable under unfavourable conditions : the case of Chimanimani National Reserve, Mozambique
2019
Based on a case study from the Chimanimani National Reserve in Mozambique, this article analyses to what extent different types of operational practices can contribute to the sustainability of protected areas in relatively unfavourable external conditions. While current conservation policies highlight community participation and market-based approaches, the same “best practices” are not equally valid under different conditions. Where unfavourable natural conditions, lack of infrastructure, difficult access and political instability limit the potential for upmarket ecotourism, actors should focus on community empowerment, diversification of livelihoods, and building joint conservation ideolo…
Gradus dignitatis (Cic. rep. I 27, 43). Merito e metro di valutazione dell’optimus status civitatis
2017
Starting from the review of the expression gradus dignitatis, used by Cicero in rep. I 27, 43, by means of a specific semantic-etymological investigation of the lemma dignitas and by comparing the different translations of this couple of words in the main modern languages, the paper attempts to reconstruct the position held by Cicero about the choice of magistratures within the optimus status civitatis. A position of highly meritocratic mark and in open polemic against the principle, promoted by the supporters of democratic regimes, of aequitas / aequabilitas in covering official positions, in a dialectical relationship with Plato and Aristotle. In the background of the specific debate open…
L'invectivité entre catégorie pragmatique et discours. Réflexions épistémologiques à partir d'un corpus de discours de haine sur Twitter
2022
[Contexte] Cette proposition s’inscrit, dans la recherche de tradition allemande, à l’intersection entre les travaux en linguistique de discours (au sens donc de Diskurslinguistik, Spitzmüller/Warnke, 2011 ; Felder/Gardt 2015), en pragmatique (des nouveaux médias, Herring / Stein / Virtanen 2013 ; Gautier / Michel sous presse) et de la linguistique juridique (au sens de Rechtslinguistik, Felder / Vögel 2017). Plus particulièrement, elle prend pour objet les discours de haine (Hassrede, Scharloth 2017 ; Meibauer 2013) qu’elle visera à éclairer par rapport aux acquis des recherches sur l’invectivité (Invektivität) dont elle cherchera à interroger le positionnement épistémologique dans le cham…
Toward a cognitive Discourses Semantics. Theoreticals inputs and empirical corpus-based case study in German.
2021
At the intersection between usage-based construction grammar and frame semantics, a cognitive semantic analysis is to be theorized. The present work proposes to develop for this purpose the Cognitive Discourse Analysis model. Discourse is then understood following Michel Foucault as a conceptual system based on linguistic, social and epistemic knowledge. Its linguistic operationalization is achieved through the contribution of textual linguistics and corpus following Dietrich Busse. The aim of such a methodological construction is to finely examine a corpus of recurrent texts in a cognitive perspective, and thus as close as possible to the linguistic reality, and to be able represent the en…
An Empirical Investigation of Green Product Design and Development Strategies for Eco Industries Using Kano Model and Fuzzy AHP
2022
Collaboration in green product design and development is becoming more significant to ensure a brighter future for eco industries, and research into such innovation has increased in recent years. So, it has been emphasized by practitioners that green thinking should be adopted from the design stage through the development stage and into the disposal stage of a product. However, it is challenging to identify the severity of strategies that mainly hampers the growth of green product design and development (GPDD). The current research aimed to identify and rank various strategies based on their significant impact on the development of green product design. The study contains three segments: (1…
Considerations about an indicator aimed at describing the energy efficiency of buildings with innovative envelope components at different climatic co…
2020
Green roofs are building components that have become increasingly common in urban contexts because other than the general improvement of the aesthetics of the buildings equipped with them, they have demonstrated to positively improve the building energy performance. Consequently, it would be useful for technicians to have easy and reliable indicators to achieve a synthetic quantitative judgement about the effectiveness of green roofs by an energy perspective compared to others building envelope technologies, for different climates. In sight of the definition of such an indicator, or at least of its properties, some considerations aimed at this purpose, especially concerning the use of new c…
Ventilative cooling application in Mediterranean buildings: impacts on grid interaction and load match
2016
The concept of load matching refers to the simultaneous occurrence of loads and generation in buildings: it can be increased and optimised with modifications on both the energy demand and generation, but its pre-requisite is to guarantee passive energy efficiency. In the Mediterranean areas, a major challenge in new buildings is the increasing overheating even during mildly hot seasons. Ventilative cooling can be a potential solution to such issues and have an impact on load match in buildings and their grid interaction. The study analyses the potential of ventilative cooling to improve the load match in three different case studies in Italy. Ventilative cooling proved viable in moderately …
