ASSESSING NEIGHBORHOOD DISORDER: VALIDATION OF A THREE-FACTOR OBSERVATIONAL SCALE
2015
AbstractThis study presents data on the development and preliminary validation of an observational scale assessing neighborhood disorder. Independent observations by trained raters of neighborhood disorder were conducted in 552 census block groups in the city of Valencia (Spain). Intraclass correlation coefficients assessing inter-rater reliability indicated fair to substantial levels of agreement among raters. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a final three-factor model scale measuring physical disorder, social disorder, and physical decay. Results for the internal consistency showed large composite reliability indices indicating good reliability for all neighborhood disorder factors.…

Una svolta qualitativa per l’abitare: quartiere, periferia, città.
2015
Non si può parlare di città senza fare cenno alla casa e al quartiere: è con riferimento a queste due dimensioni che vanno studiate la difficile realtà del disagio abitativo odierno e le cause che lo generano, per far fronte a un’ennesima emergenza aggravata dall’attuale crisi economica. In un periodo in cui urbanisti, architetti ed esperti del settore attribuiscono un ruolo rilevante al tema della rigenerazione e del rammendo urbano, il social housing può offrire scenari interessanti. Fondamentale è il ruolo che i quartieri possono svolgere come generatori di spazi di qualità nella vita quotidiana, offrendo una risposta qualitativa al fabbisogno abitativo. Focalizzando l’attenzione sul ter…
Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…
Optimization of Data Harvesters Deployment in an Urban Areas for an Emergency Scenario
2013
International audience; Since its appearance in the VANETs research community, data collection where vehicles have to explore an area and collect various local data, brings various issues and challenges. Some architectures were proposed to meet data collection requirements. They can be classified into two categories: Decentralized and Centralized self-organizing where different components and techniques are used depending on the application type. In this paper, we treat time-constrained applications in the context of search and rescue missions. For this reason, we propose a centralized architecture where a central unit plans and manages a set of vehicles namely harvesters to get a clear ove…
On the volume of unit vector fields on spaces of constant sectional curvature
2004
A unit vector field X on a Riemannian manifold determines a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle. The volume of X is the volume of this submanifold for the induced Sasaki metric. It is known that the parallel fields are the trivial minima.
El Derecho a la Ciudad desde la perspectiva de género en el Barrio El Gallito (Guatemala)
2019
Las ciudades del mundo concentran poderes económicos y sociales y, sus por su propia idiosincrasia ofrecen las herramientas necesarias para hacer frente a los nuevos desafíos del desarrollo. No obstante, según ha manifestado recientemente Naciones Unidas (2018) el aumento de la vulnerabilidad y de la exclusión social, ha conllevado directamente a un crecimiento notable de las desigualdades entre regiones y ciudades. Además de ello, en las últimas décadas han emergido con fuerza espacios urbanos en los que los desequilibrios sociales, la escasez de recursos comunitarios, el deterioro y degradación del entorno, se han visto acentuados dentro de las ciudades dando lugar a los denominados barri…
SEA presidential address: Group connectivity and cooperation
2011
A model-free methodology is used for the first time to estimate a daily volatility index (VIBEX-NEW) for the Spanish financial market.We use a public data set of daily option prices to compute this index and showthat daily changes in VIBEXNEW display a negative, tight contemporaneous relationship with IBEX daily returns, contrary to other common volatility indicators, as an implied volatility indicator or a GARCH(1,1) conditional volatility model. This relationship is approximately symmetric to the sign on VIBEX-NEW changes and asymmetric to the IBEX-35 returns sign, which make it clearly a suitable volatility index for the Spanish stock market. We also examine the relationship between curr…
Pointwise k-Pseudo Metric Space
2021
In this paper, the concept of a k-(quasi) pseudo metric is generalized to the L-fuzzy case, called a pointwise k-(quasi) pseudo metric, which is considered to be a map d:J(LX)×J(LX)⟶[0,∞) satisfying some conditions. What is more, it is proved that the category of pointwise k-pseudo metric spaces is isomorphic to the category of symmetric pointwise k-remote neighborhood ball spaces. Besides, some L-topological structures induced by a pointwise k-quasi-pseudo metric are obtained, including an L-quasi neighborhood system, an L-topology, an L-closure operator, an L-interior operator, and a pointwise quasi-uniformity.
Ewolucja roli mniejszości niemieckiej w Polsce oraz Polonii w Niemczech w stosunkach polsko-niemieckich pod koniec XX wieku i na początku XXI wieku
2016
Both German minority in Poland and Polonia in Germany constitute undoubtedly – along with the history, geographical location and common membership of the Republic of Poland’s and German Federal Republic’s to EU and NATO – one of more important determinants of relations between both states. As to the issue of execution of rights of Germans in Poland and Polonia in German the breakthrough took place as a result of signing Treaty on good neighborhood and friendly cooperation on 17.06.1991. On both sides though there are the charges formulated about the lack of full execution of the Treaty provisions. The subject of controversy is, on the one hand, their status – inequality of terminology used …
