Prediction of hydraulic and acoustic properties of open-graded mixes
2014
The use of open-graded mixes increases significantly the hydraulic permeability of pavement and contributes to reduce the noise impact in comparison to traditional pavement. Such characteristics are very appealing and would greatly increase driver's safety. However, during service life, the pores tend to be clogged by many factors among them secondary traffic compaction and filling of voids by fine materials are relevant, especially on heavy routes. In this case the noise reduction and drainage capabilities will gradually disappear, causing serious problems for road safety and maintenance. In this paper we propose a simulation approach in order to predict the drainage and acoustic behavior …
L'adozione nel contesto e co-testo scuola. Literature review su adozione-scuola con Atlas.ti
Our research wants to be a meta-analysis work; its purpose is to focus on adoption and to analyse the “textual-semantic correlates” through which this topic has been understood and interpreted by international literature. In particular, the aim is to describe and codify the semantic-linguistic treatment of “adoption of children” theme with reference to school adjustment issue. In the title of the following thesis, “Adoption in the school context and co-text”, the term co-text (stemming from linguistics) points out the inquiry function in texts and the purpose of meta-reflective comparison among texts of articles coming from the journals with a high impact factor. After selecting those journ…
Holden Lori with Hass Crystal: The open-hearted way to open adoption. Helping your child growing up whole
2015
An open adoption is a way of keeping in contact with the biological roots, maybe more suitable for children adopted in their early infancy than later. In fact, children in older adoption age, coming from a pre-adoptive adverse environment (abuse, neglect, violence, poverty, etc.), may invoke oblio right ,tore-create themselves in the new family.
l'Italia degli "ancora no": la ricerca delle origini e l'adozione aperta
2017
L’apertura e il diritto dei bambini a sapere sulla loro provenienza genetica sono diventate questioni chiave nei dibattiti circa l'adozione e un significativo cambiamento verso la trasparenza ha preso luogo nel contesto politico italiano. Ma l'ipotesi sulla possibilità di adozione aperta trova ancora vincoli e limitazioni evidenti nella legge di adozione italiana, che tutela il diritto della madre all'anonimato, anziché il diritto di origine e l'identità dei bambini. Tuttavia, recenti ricerche hanno dimostrato l'importanza di parlare attraverso l'apertura in caso di adozione, vale a dire l'atteggiamento della vita familiare a comunicare con onestà e sincerità riguardo la biologia e biografi…

Periodontal disease associated to systemic genetic disorders
2007
A number of systemic disorders increase patient susceptibility to periodontal disease, which moreover evolves more rapidly and more aggressively. The underlying factors are mainly related to alterations in immune, endocrine and connective tissue status. These alterations are associated with different pathologies and syndromes that generate periodontal disease either as a primary manifestation or by aggravating a pre-existing condition attributable to local factors. This is where the role of bacterial plaque is subject to debate. In the presence of qualitative or quantitative cellular immune alterations, periodontal disease may manifest early on a severe localized or generalized basis - in s…
Hyvää verkko-opetusta etsimässä: oppimista edistävät ja estävät tekijät verkko-oppimisympäristöissä – opiskelijoiden kokemuksen ja opettajien arviot
2003
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää opiskelijoiden ja opettajien käsityksiä hyvästä verkko-opetuksesta ja -opiskelusta. Tutkimuksessa keskityttiin erityisesti verkko- opettajan roolin ja tehtävien tarkasteluun. Verkko-opetusta tutkittiin osana opetus-opiskelu-oppiminen prosessia (Uljens 1997, Kansanen 1999). Hyvän verkko-opettajan ominaisuuksia etsittiin tehokkaan opettajan kriteerien (Tirri 1993), opettajan pedagogisen ajattelun ja verkko-opettajatutkimuksien lähtökohdista käsin. Mielekäs oppiminen määriteltiin Jonassenin (1995) esittämien kriteerien lähtökohdista. Tutkimuksen empiirinen aineisto koostui vuosina 1995-1999 Helsingin yliopiston virtuaalisen avoimen yliopiston (HEVI) ja A…
Forest accessibility, Madonie mountains (northern Sicily, Italy): implementing a GIS decision support system
2021
Valorisation and sustainable exploitation of woody biomass from cultivation interventions might be an important opportunity to track alternative development trails for rural communities in natural protected areas. The governance of Mediterranean protected areas is characterized by overlapping, sometimes conflicting institutions, stakeholders and regulations, causing negative impacts on decision-making processes. We present an open source GIS-based decision support system tool for mapping forest accessibility and optimizing woody biomass extraction. Two models were implemented to support forest managers during the decision-making process in designing and managing wood-energy supply chains. T…
La interpretación de los riesgos naturales y el cambio climático en postgrado. Ejemplos de casos de estudio en la provincia de Alicante (España)
2020
Esta investigación tiene el objetivo de exponer una experiencia didáctica sobre la interpretación de los riesgos naturales y el cambio climático a partir de la propuesta de diferentes estudios de caso de la provincia de Alicante (España). Dicha propuesta se lleva a cabo en la asignatura de Cambio Climático y Riesgo en el Mediterráneo del Máster en Planificación y Gestión de Riesgos Naturales (Universidad de Alicante). Metodológicamente se han expuesto diferentes ejemplos de análisis sobre las temáticas de: 1) Las sequías; 2) La explotación y sangrado de cursos fluviales; 3) Tendencias climáticas; y 4) Medidas de adaptación al cambio climático. Con estos ejemplos se pretende que los discente…
Tiempos felices: Transformaciones en las tecnologías psicológicas de gobierno de la subjetividad
2020
This paper traces some inflections in the psy disciplines? discourses and technologies for the government of subjectivity during the last decades. It is focused on exploring different mechanisms through which psychological disciplines ?their discourses, techniques and practices? penetrate social life and contribute to establishing subject models consistent with transformations in the political and economic rationalities of late capitalism. Drawing on previous research in the field of gender politics and happiness discourses in the pop psychological culture, I track a line with three moments: i) the production of psychological individuality and identity normalization; ii) the proliferation o…
