Terrorismo yihadista: un protocolo de evaluación del riesgo de radicalización y de comisión de atentados
2019
El objetivo principal de la tesis es elaborar un protocolo de evaluación integral del riesgo de radicalización y de comisión de atentados yihadistas. Para alcanzar este propósito, la investigación se estructuró en dos partes diferenciadas. La primera consistió en una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura internacional sobre el fenómeno del terrorismo yihadista. Se realizó una fundamentación teórica sobre los factores de riesgo de radicalización y de comisión de atentados, así como de los protocolos teóricos y empíricos existentes al respecto. La segunda acogió una investigación empírica original. Se confeccionó una extensa base de datos con todos los atentados de índole yihadista perpetra…
Teaching process writing in an online environment
2015
This reflective practice paper offers some insights into teaching an interdisciplinary academic writing course aimed at promoting process writing. The study reflects on students’ acquisition of writing skills and the teacher’s support practices in a digital writing environment. It presents writers’ experiences related to various stages of process writing, their growing awareness of becoming good writers but also the constant struggle with common writing problems. Preconceived attitudes towards the process of writing provide further obstacles for students to overcome in an interdisciplinary and intercultural learning environment. A writer often overcomes the barriers to effective writing by …
Teachers and inclusion: an empirical survey on specialist training for support teachers
2019
This paper illustrates the results of an empirical-experimental research conducted as part of the Specialization Course for support activities, held at the University of Palermo in the academic year 2016/17. The survey, concerning the effectiveness of training courses for teachers for the development of active learning, involved 450 teachers and had the main objective of investigating whether there was an actual increase in specific professional skills functional to school inclusion among those who attended the course. Despite leading to different kinds of meaningfulness, the pre/post-test data are evidence of a general positive improvement, highlighting how a student-centred approach has a…
Influence of Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique on Peri-Implant Tissues; Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial with Three-Year Follow-Up. Pa…
2019
Purpose: The objective of this prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to analyze and compare the clinical behavior of three types of prosthesis supported by single implants in the posterior region after three years of functional loading. Materials and methods: Seventy-five implants were divided into three groups according to the type of prosthetic restoration: screw-retained crown (group GS); cemented crown without finishing line (biologically oriented preparation technique) (group GBOPT); and conventional cemented crown with finishing line (group GCC). After three years in function, clinical parameters (presence of keratinized mucosa, probing depths, bleeding on probing, and radio…
Azioni di modellamento e lavoro collaborativo in classe per la comprensione del testo come problem solving
2021
Per stimolare l’abilità di comprensione del testo è fondamentale la costruzione autonoma dell’allievo, escludendo esercitazioni imposte e spesso poco produttive. Gli alunni possono apprendere strategie adeguate di lettura che consentano loro di mettere in relazione i processi di elaborazione dei testi con situazioni di problem solving, attraverso attività significative e coinvolgenti. Con l’obiettivo di promuovere il processo di lettura e di comprensione del testo utilizzando la metodologia del reciprocal teaching (RT), è stato realizzato un intervento didattico in classi quinte di scuola primaria che ha coinvolto 73 alunni di 10-11 anni e 10 docenti di Palermo. La pratica di insegnamento-a…

Efficient checking of coherence and propagation of imprecise probability assessments
2000
We consider the computational difficulties in the checking of coherence and propagation of imprecise probability assessments. We examine the linear structure of the random gain in betting criterion and we propose a general methodology which exploits suitable subsets of the set of values of the random gain. In this way the checking of coherence and propagation amount to examining linear systems with a reduced number of unknowns. We also illustrate an example.
Multi-objective optimization for computation offloading in mobile-edge computing
2017
Mobile-edge cloud computing is a new cloud platform to provide pervasive and agile computation augmenting services for mobile devices (MDs) at anytime and anywhere by endowing ubiquitous radio access networks with computing capabilities. Although offloading computations to the cloud can reduce energy consumption at the MDs, it may also incur a larger execution delay. Usually the MDs have to pay cloud resource they used. In this paper, we utilize queuing theory to bring a thorough study on the energy consumption, execution delay and price cost of offloading process in a mobile-edge cloud system. Specifically, both wireless transmission and computing capabilities are explicitly and jointly co…
Surrogate assisted interactive multiobjective optimization in energy system design of buildings
2022
In this paper, we develop a novel evolutionary interactive method called interactive K-RVEA, which is suitable for computationally expensive problems. We use surrogate models to replace the original expensive objective functions to reduce the computation time. Typically, in interactive methods, a decision maker provides some preferences iteratively and the optimization algorithm narrows the search according to those preferences. However, working with surrogate model swill introduce some inaccuracy to the preferences, and therefore, it would be desirable that the decision maker can work with the solutions that are evaluated with the original objective functions. Therefore, we propose a novel…
