Parking Pricing for a Sustainable Transport System

2014

Abstract The purpose of this study has been the develop of a model for designing an efficient parking pricing policy. The aim is an intelligent control and management system of parking pricing integrated with a redefinition of the circulation scheme for a limited traffic zone in the Central Business District (CBD) of Palermo. The transport demand over the entire area of the town has been studied in order to design various parking pricing scenarios with the application of an additional cost on parking inside the selected area of the CBD. This area attracts most of the private vehicular traffic and it is characterized by university faculties, schools, hospitals, offices and commercial areas. …

Una ricerca-intervento internazionale per costruire al liceo il proprio progetto di vita professionale

2022

In this contribution, we want to describe methodological assumptions with which to promote some character skills that must be trained in the students attending high school in view of the transition from school to university. These abilities are related to the person’s character, emotional and psychosocial aspects of the personality like flexibility, creativity, open-mindedness, resilience, decision-making skill and self-image. These skills significantly contribute to the construction of the 16-18-year-old student’s identity and support the development of his professional maturity during the school education period. High school teachers can contribute to this development by applying didactic…

Hip viscosupplementation under ultra-sound guidance riduces NSAID consumption in symptomatic hip osteoarthritis patients in a long follow-up. Data fr…

2011

Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption is strictly related to a high gastrointestinal and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity rate. Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) recommendations in patients with symptomatic hip or knee OA stated that NSAIDs should be used at the lowest effective dose but their long-term use should be avoided if possible. OARSI guidelines for the treatment of the hip OA include the use of viscosupplementation, which aims to restore physiological and rheological features of the synovial fluid. Objective: Aim of this multicentric, open and retrospective study is to investigate if NSAID consumption may be reduced by t…

Più maestri tra i banchi di scuola primaria

2022

Nei Paesi membri dell’OECD, i maestri di scuola primaria rappresentano una minoranza del corpo docente, per la bassa remunerazione, lo scarso prestigio sociale e lo stereotipo di una professione ritenuta femminile. Nella prima parte di questo contributo, si ricostruiscono le ragioni con cui si spiega la mancanza degli insegnanti maschi nella scuola primaria e si presentano i rimedi che alcuni Paesi hanno tentato di applicare per ridurre la dimensione di questo problema. Nella seconda parte, si presentano i risultati di un’indagine svolta nel 2021 sulla professione di maestro percepita da 71 studenti maschi frequentanti il corso di studi in Scienze della Formazione Primaria presso l’Universi…

Boolean Networks: A Primer

2021

Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) stand out as a relevant example where omics-data approaches have been extensively and successfully employed. For instance, an outstanding outcome of the Autism Genome Project relies in the identification of biomarkers and the mapping of biological processes potentially implicated in ASDs’ pathogenesis. Several of these mapped processes are related to molecular and cellular events (e.g., synaptogenesis and synapse function, axon growth and guidance, etc.) that are required for the development of a correct neuronal connectivity. Interestingly, these data are consistent with results of brain imaging studies of some patients. Despite these remarkable pr…

The Effects of the Use of Serious Game in Eco-Driving Training

2016

International audience; Serious games present a promising approach to training and learning. The player is engaged in a virtual environment for a purpose beyond pure entertainment, all while having fun. In this paper, we investigate the effects of the use of serious game in eco-driving training. An approach has been developed in order to improve players’ practical skills in terms of eco-driving. This approach is based on the development of a driving simulation based on a serious game, integrating a multisensorial guidance system with metaphors including visual messages (information on fuel consumption, ideal speed area, gearbox management, etc.) and sounds (spatialized sounds, voice message…

Accreditation and validation of professional qualifications: Monitoring of the process by insertion companies.

2019

People at risk for exclusion and vulnerable populations have serious difficulties in accessing the ordinary labour market. Their work insertion is more complicated than that of people with high employability capacities. People's social exclusion risk could be reduced if, among other measures, their access would be facilitated to the accreditation and validation of their professional competences. This work shows how Work Integration Social Enterprises support people at risk for exclusion in obtaining the accreditation and validation of their professional qualifications. We critically describe and analyse the process, concluding that the initiative breaks with the perception of accreditat…

Expression profiling of prospero in the Drosophila larval chemosensory organ: Between growth and outgrowth

2010

AbstractBackgroundThe antenno-maxilary complex (AMC) forms the chemosensory system of theDrosophilalarva and is involved in gustatory and olfactory perception. We have previously shown that a mutant allele of the homeodomain transcription factor Prospero (prosVoila1,V1), presents several developmental defects including abnormal growth and altered taste responses. In addition, many neural tracts connecting the AMC to the central nervous system (CNS) were affected. Our earlier reports on larval AMC did not argue in favour of a role ofprosin cell fate decision, but strongly suggested thatproscould be involved in the control of other aspect of neuronal development. In order to identify these fu…
