Architetture essenziali nella Valle dei Templi di Agrigento
2021
Small architectures can help to reinstate a daily use of the archaeological park, no longer considered as a specialised fence. The projects feed on iconographic memories that indicate where and how to look at. The comparison between the historical views and the current state shows some changes. Today the contemporary city surrounds the temples, arising among billboards, behind traffic lights. Unlike the postcards' logic where the ruins appear isolated, in the wake of a generic polemic against the recent transformations, the article aims to focus on a new aesthetic where contemporary architecture narrates a dialogue between different parts, offering new paths of approach to the ruins.
Varoņu attēlojuma analīze spēlē “Leģendu līga”
2022
Šajā pētījumā analizēti trīs reģionu apraksti un attiecīgo čempionu biogrāfijas, kas atrodami Leģendu Līgas stāstā. Pašlaik esošie pētījumi par spēļu varoņiem pētījums ir saistīti ar varoņu dzimumu vai citiem aspektiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot rakstura īpašības, kas veicina rakstura atveidi, un noteikt, kādi izteiksmes līdzekļi tiek izmantoti, lai šīs īpašības uzsvērtu stāstā. Pētījuma jautājums bija vērsts uz čempiona piederības noteikšanu konkrētajam reģionam pēc attiecīgajām īpašībām. Pētījums veikts, izmantojot tematisko analīzi. Rezultāti atklāja, ka čempioni galvenokārt tika attēloti pēc kognitīvajām īpašībām. Rakstura īpašību aspektu paspilgtināšanai vai pastiprināšanai visva…
Introducing a strategic perspective in lean thinking applications through system dynamics modelling: the dynamic Value Stream Map
2020
PurposeLean Thinking is an operation management discipline which aims to identify, map and analyse the activities forming a process to detect “value waste” and outline the most effective flow of activities to execute in sequence. Process mapping is often developed in lean projects through the use of the Value Stream Map (VSM). Like many other management tools, the VSM adopts a static and non-systemic perspective in the representation of an organizational process. This may result in the implementation of Lean projects inconsistent with the overall organizational long-term strategy, thus leading to dysfunctional performance. In order to overcome this limit, the paper suggests combining VSM wi…
Communication of Loneliness Emotions in the Online Vlogs and Their Moral Value
2019
Using the method of visual narrative analysis and the grounded theory, the answers are searched for the questions—what are the most typical emotional experiences that go with the representation of loneliness in the public digital communication and how the modern communication technologies are enabling these representations? The analysis allows to understand what has been the most desired for the young people and what is wished but not acquired (or lost) subject or experience which resulted in the loneliness. Finally, the attention is paid to the loneliness performance’s possible role in creating a digital culture and making moral sense to existential and difficult subjective experience whic…
Qualitative models of equipment units and their use in automatic HAZOP analysis
2000
Abstract The use of qualitative models in a support system for HAZOP analyses, in connection with an algorithm for finding the causes and the consequences of variable deviations, is described. The models use several representation structures among which mini-trees constitute the most important from the logical-functional point of view. The models are conceived both for continuous and batch plants. For the latter procedures, regulating the use of equipment units are also modelled using similar structures while equipment units are considered in various phases of their functioning. A brief description of the prototype support system, in which the models are implemented, is also given.
Knowledge Representation and Cognitive Skills in Problem Solving
2017
This paper offers a programmatic view on the study of cross-linguistic variation and its effects on human cognitive skills. Based on Linguistic Typology and its methodology to account for cross-linguistic differences (section 2), it will show how the presence or absence of certain grammatical categories enhances or inhibits specific skills in the domain of quantification (section 3). In its main part (section 4), it will show how to describe structural differences between the source and the target language in translation and how to find out if these differences affect the performance of students in knowledge assessment tests. For that purpose, it will compare the English and the Japanese ve…
Beyond Lampedusa: Africa Meets Europe / Para Lá de Lampedusa: A África Encontra a Europa
2013
The volume, resulting from a photograph exhibit that travelled the globe (Portugal, China, USA, Nigeria, Italy, etc.), offers a miscellaneous portrayal of the history of African photography and its influence on non-African imaginings of Africa and the African diaspora in all its diversity. My essay comments on the photographic representation of the black body in Italy in both colonial and postcolonial times.

Viral Components Enhance Antigen Presentation And Induce Sensitization Towards Harmless Inhaled Antigens

The Efficacy of Antigen Processing Is Critical for Protection against Cytomegalovirus Disease in the Presence of Viral Immune Evasion Proteins▿
2009
ABSTRACT Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) code for immunoevasins, glycoproteins that are specifically dedicated to interfere with the presentation of antigenic peptides to CD8 T cells. Nonetheless, the biological outcome is not an immune evasion of the virus, since CD8 T cells can control CMV infection even when immunoevasins are expressed. Here, we compare the processing of a protective and a nonprotective epitope derived from the same viral protein, the antiapoptotic protein M45 in the murine model. The data provide evidence to conclude that protection against CMVs critically depends on antigenic peptides generated in an amount sufficient to exhaust the inhibitory capacity of immunoevasins.
