La formazione come strumento di crescita : narrazione di un’esperienza didattica a Palermo
2020
In un momento storico in cui, in Italia, le scuole di pianificazione sono oggetto di importanti, e pesanti, ripensamenti strutturali il paper vuole ragionare sulla necessità sì di una riformulazione di tali scuole, ma in un’ottica di potenziamento e certamente maggiore relazione con le pratiche che quotidianamente influiscono sulla vita delle persone, siano esse tecniche che spontanee. La tesi che si vuole esporre nasce da alcune esperienze personali come docente di pianificazione che da alcuni anni, in modo coordinato con altri docenti e all’interno dell’intero sistema di didattica del corso di laurea magistrale in Pianificazione Territoriale Urbanistica e Ambientale dell’Università degli …
Del bene
2021
Del bene sembra che nel nostro tempo, segnato dal pluralismo etico e spesso dal nichilismo assiologico, non abbia alcun senso parlare. Di più: sembra che non se ne debba parlare per rispettare la libertà di tutti. Il testo presenta un’analisi fenomenologica del concetto di bene tesa a mostrare la vacuità di queste presupposizioni, ma anche i fattori di rischio per l’educazione contemporanea insiti in esse. Attraverso una ripresa dell’etica di E. Husserl e di alcuni dei suoi allievi, temi cruciali per una filosofia dell’educazione adeguata al nostro tempo sono allora: la differenza tra l’utile e il bene, il ruolo delle emozioni nella vita morale, il nesso tra desiderio, volontà e scelta, la …
Interweaving visual and audio-haptic augmented reality for urban exploration
2018
While ordinary touchscreen-based interfaces on urban explorer applications draw much of a user's attention onto the screen, visual and audio-haptic augmented reality interfaces have emerged as the two main streams for enabling direct focus on the surroundings. However, neither interface alone satisfies users in the highly dynamic urban environment. This research investigates how the two complementary augmentation can coexist on one system and how people adapt to the situation by selecting the more suitable interface. A prototype was deployed in a field experiment in which participants explored points of interest in an urban environment with both interfaces. The engagement with the surroundi…
A wearable multimodal interface for exploring urban points of interest
2015
Locating points of interest (POIs) in cities is typically facilitated by visual aids such as paper maps, brochures, and mobile applications. However, these techniques require visual attention, which ideally should be on the surroundings. Non-visual techniques for navigating towards specific POIs typically lack support for free exploration of the city or more detailed guidance. To overcome these issues, we propose a multimodal, wearable system for alerting the user of nearby recommended POIs. The system, built around a tactile glove, provides audio-tactile cues when a new POI is in the vicinity, and more detailed information and guidance if the user expresses interest in this POI. We evaluat…
Diritti di partecipazione politica e piattaforme digitali, alcune riflessioni
2022
Questo scritto affronta il tema dell’impatto dei social networks sui diritti di partecipazione politica, con riguardo al diritto all’informazione, al diritto di associarsi in partiti, al diritto di voto come esito di campagne elettorali digitali. Il mutamento della comunicazione politica e del dibattito pubblico refluisce sulla correttezza dei processi democratici; ciò pone l’esigenza della regolazione dei social networks quale spazio mediatico utilizzato dai soggetti politici (individui od organizzazioni) per influenzare la formazione dell’opinione pubblica e costruire il consenso a proprio favore, soprattutto nell’ambito delle campagne elettorali. L’articolo si sofferma, dunque, sui probl…

2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir Eiropas Savienības Pastāvīgās strukturētās sadarbības aizsardzības jomā ietekme uz Baltijas valstu aizsardzības politikām. Darba mērķis ir analizēt potenciālās izmaiņas Baltijas valstu aizsardzības politikās Pastāvīgās strukturētās sadarbības (PESCO) rezultātā. Teorētiskā pieeja ietver analīzi par mazu valstu darbību starptautiskajā sistēmā, konkrēti, dalību aliansēs un darbību Eiropas Savienībā. Darbā tiek izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētījumu metodes, analizējot Kopējās drošības un aizsardzības politikas attīstību, Baltijas valstu ieguldījumu tajā un dalību PESCO, kā arī organizējot Igaunijas, Lietuvas un Latvijas ekspertu intervijas ar mērķi noskaidrot valstu intereses…
Urban Air Quality Monitoring Using Vehicular Sensor Networks
2014
The quality of air is a major concern in modern cities as pollutants have been demonstrated to have significant impact on human health. Networks of fixed monitoring stations have been deployed in urban areas to provide authorities with data to define and enforce dynamically policies to reduce pollutants, for instance by issuing traffic regulation measures. However, fixed networks require careful placement of monitoring stations to be effective. Moreover, changes in urban arrangement, activities, or regulations may affect considerably the monitoring model, especially when budget constraints prevent from relocating stations or adding new ones to the network. In this chapter we discuss a diffe…
An Integrative Approach to Assess the Environmental Impacts of Gold Mining Contamination in the Amazon
2021
As the number of legal and illegal gold mining sites increases in the Andes–Amazonia region, integrative methods to evaluate the effects of mining pollution on freshwater ecosystems are of paramount importance. Here, we sampled water and sediments in 11 sites potentially affected by gold mining activities in the Napo province (Ecuador). The environmental impacts were evaluated using the following lines of evidence (LOEs): water physicochemical parameters, metal exposure concentrations, macroinvertebrate community response (AAMBI), and toxicity by conducting bioassays with Lactuca sativa and Daphnia magna. Dissolved oxygen and total suspended solids were under (130 mg/Ls) quality standards 6…
Impact of secondary succession in abandoned fields on some properties of acidic sandy soils
2020
Abstract Abandonment of agricultural lands in recent decades is occurring mainly in Europe, North America and Oceania, and changing the fate of landscapes as the ecosystem recovers during fallow stage. The objective of this study was to find the impact of secondary succession in abandoned fields on some parameters of acidic sandy soils in the Borská nížina lowland (southwestern Slovakia). We investigated soil chemical (pH and soil organic carbon content), hydrophysical (water sorptivity, and hydraulic conductivity), and water repellency (water drop penetration time, water repellency cessation time, repellency index, and modified repellency index) parameters, as well as the ethanol sorptivit…
