Urban Growth and Real Estate Income. A Comparison of Analytical Models
2016
I processi di crescita urbana sono notoriamente complessi dipendendo da un’ampia varietà di fattori demografici, socio-culturali ed economici. L’analisi è ancora più complessa nelle aree metropolitane che sono il risultato di antichi processi di agglomerazione in una fase d’intenso accrescimento dell’insediamento e, più recentemente, della formazione di policentrismo urbano. L’investigazione richiede l’acquisizione, l’analisi e l’elaborazione d’idonee informazioni a livello delle unità territoriali omogenee, basandosi su modelli consolidati o su nuovi protocolli da verificare. Il presente contributo analizza la crescita urbana secondo un approccio di piccola scala, individuando i distretti …
Analysis of the covers of textbooks of Primary Physical Education
2017
Esta investigación analiza las imágenes del cuerpo humano y el tipo de actividad física que practica en las portadas de los libros de texto del área de Educación Física (EF) en Educación Primaria (EP), para determinar si reproducen y transmiten estereotipos en relación al sexo, raza, cuerpo, discapacidad y actividad física en función del currículum. La muestra universo consta de 30 portadas, publicadas bajo la Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE). Los resultados muestran portadas preferentemente dibujadas y en color, los protagonistas de la actividad física son niños y niñas conjuntamente (agrupación mixta), pero a la vez permanecen estereotipos de raza (blanca) y somatotipo (ectomorfo) realizan…
Cuerpos adolescentes en el cine español 1982-1998
2018
El presente artículo propone esbozar un panorama de las representaciones de adolescentes en el cine español durante los gobiernos socialistas a partir de 1982 y hasta 1998. Tras la reivindicación de la libertad propia de la Transición, en que el adolescente tenía a menudo la autonomía de un adulto, el cuerpo adolescente del período posterior traduce más bien en la pantalla un abanico de deseos frustrados. También es un cuerpo malherido por los excesos de todo tipo, el consumo en abuso de drogas o imágenes, quizás un fantasma más que un cuerpo dado que nunca llega a figurar la revolución que es (o que debería ser) la adolescencia.
Approximation of pore space with ellipsoids: a comparison of a geometrical method with a statistical one.
2018
International audience; We work with tomographic images of pore space in soil. The images have large dimensions and so in order to speed-up biological simulations (as drainage or diffusion process in soil), we want to describe the pore space with a number of geometrical primitives significantly smaller than the number of voxels in pore space. In this paper, we use the curve skeleton of a volume to segment it into some regions. We describe the method to compute the curve skeleton and to segment it with a simple segment approximation. We approximate each obtained region with an ellipsoid. The set of final ellipsoids represents the geometry of pore space and will be used in future simulations.…
Towards digital cognitive clones for the decision-makers: adversarial training experiments
2021
Abstract There can be many reasons for anyone to make a digital copy (clone) of own decision-making behavior. This enables virtual presence of a professional decision-maker simultaneously in many places and processes of Industry 4.0. Such clone can be used as one’s responsible representative when the human is not available. Pi-Mind (“Patented Intelligence”) is a technology, which enables “cloning” cognitive skills of humans using adversarial machine learning. In this paper, we present a cyber-physical environment as an adversarial learning ecosystem for cloning image classification skills. The physical component of the environment is provided by the logistic laboratory with camera-surveilla…
Taxonomy of generative adversarial networks for digital immunity of Industry 4.0 systems
2021
Abstract Industry 4.0 systems are extensively using artificial intelligence (AI) to enable smartness, automation and flexibility within variety of processes. Due to the importance of the systems, they are potential targets for attackers trying to take control over the critical processes. Attackers use various vulnerabilities of such systems including specific vulnerabilities of AI components. It is important to make sure that inappropriate adversarial content will not break the security walls and will not harm the decision logic of critical systems. We believe that the corresponding security toolset must be organized as a trainable self-protection mechanism similar to immunity. We found cer…
The Profiles of Body Image Associate With Changes in Depression Among Participants in Dance Movement Therapy Group
2020
This mixed-methods study analyzed the body image quality of 143 patients with depression. The participants received a 20 × 75 min dance movement therapy (DMT) group treatment, sessions twice a week. Body Image Assessment (BIA) was the data collection tool, with pre-, post-, and 3-mos follow-up assessments. Pre-intervention body image quality characteristics were low energy and activity levels, discomfort, shame and disgust toward the body, tension in social interactions. On the BIA scores, a statistical method of Latent Profile Analysis was utilized to identify participant profiles in the data. The two identified profiles were participant with initial negative body image and participant wit…
Dance movement therapy in the treatment of depression : change in body image and mood - a clinical practice based study
2018
This dissertation includes four studies of the use of dance movement therapy (DMT) in a group form in the treatment of depression at a psychiatric outpatient clinic. DMT is based on exploring the embodied experience in the here and now in the encounter between patient(s), therapist and the dance/movement. DMT is a method to develop awareness of embodiment. This dissertation presents data from ten DMT groups, involving 62 patients who participated in and completed DMT groups during the years 2007-2013 at one psychiatric outpatient clinic. The age range of the participants was 21-61 years. To allow comparisons between DMT and treatment as usual (TAU), a control group of 12 patients was part o…
Monitoring water and carbon fluxes at fine spatial scales using HyspIRI-like measurements
2012
Remotely sensed observations in the visible to the shortwave infrared (VSWIR) and thermal infrared (TIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used synergistically to provide valuable products of land surface properties for reliable assessments of carbon and water fluxes. The high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution VSWIR and TIR observations provided by the proposed Hyperspectral - InfraRed (HyspIRI) mission will enable a new era of global agricultural monitoring, critical for addressing growing issues of food insecurity. To enable predictions at fine spatial resolution (<100m), modeling efforts must rely on a combination of high-frequency temporal and highresolution spa…
Integration of high resolution spatial and spectral data acquisition systems to provide complementary datasets for cultural heritage applications
2010
International audience; Modern optical measuring systems are able to record objects with high spatial and spectral precision. The acquisition of spatial data is possible with resolutions of a few hundredths of a millimeter using active projection-based camera systems, while spectral data can be obtained using filter-based multispectral camera systems that can capture surface spectral reflectance with high spatial resolution. We present a methodology for combining data from these two discrete optical measuring systems by registering their individual measurements into a common geometrical frame. Furthermore, the potential for its application as a tool for the non-invasive monitoring of painti…
