Polyhedrality and decomposition
2018
Abstract The aim of this note is to present two results that make the task of finding equivalent polyhedral norms on certain Banach spaces, having either a Schauder basis or an uncountable unconditional basis, easier and more transparent. The hypotheses of both results are based on decomposing the unit sphere of a Banach space into countably many pieces, such that each one satisfies certain properties. Some examples of spaces having equivalent polyhedral norms are given.
Factors Differentiating Rural and Urban Population in Determining Anxiety and Depression in Patients with Chronic Cardiovascular Disease: A Pilot Stu…
2021
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyze selected variables differentiating rural from urban populations, as well as identify potentially increased levels of depression and anxiety in patients with chronic cardiovascular disease. The study was carried out in 193 patients. The study used the Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Appraisal Schedule (CANSAS), the Health Behavior Inventory Questionnaire (HBI), the WHOQOL-BREF Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale–Modified Version (HADS-M). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient test and logistic regression were used for analyses. In rural patients, we observed a relationship between anxiety and …
Searching for the measure
2020
In the Sixties of last century Manfredo Tafuri presented its city layout based on a linear relation binding the words urban planning - town design – architecture on Casabella’s pages. This progression, underlain by the concept of scale proposed by the Modernist Movement, resulted from the interpretation of the urban project as confined between the boundlessness of urban planning and the finiteness of buildings. The studies and research connected with some Italian practices searching for the utility of the architectural project in terms of synthetic transdisciplinary intersection, focused essentially on this contradiction. In 1959 the competition for Barene di San Giuliano in Mestre divided …
Reggio Calabria-Istanbul. A Project for Galata. International Urban Design Workshop 2019. URBAN FAÇADE: ISTANBUL WATERFRONT
2020
Un accordo bilaterale tra sedi universitarie ha, nel Marzo 2019, posto le premesse per l’invito ad una delegazione di docenti, dottorandi e studenti dell’ateneo di Reggio Calabria a partecipare, in qualità di progettisti, all’International Urban Design Workshop 2019 “Urban Façade: Istanbul Waterfront”, organizzato nella sede turca. Partecipano alla stessa esperienza le scuole italiane del progetto provenienti dall’Università di Parma, da Roma La Sapienza, dalla Federico II di Napoli, le scuole di restauro e disegno dell’Università di Firenze, i dipartimenti di architettura dell’Università di Rotterdam e, ovviamente la sede ospitante. Per una settimana circa ottanta, tra studiosi, studenti, …
Luoghi urbani scomparsi e architetture mai realizzate nella riconfigurazione 3D del Rione Conceria di Palermo
2018
L'oggetto di studio è lo scomparso Rione Conceria all'interno del Centro Storico di Palermo. È una vasta area urbana, che si estende lungo la Via Maqueda, Via Roma, Corso Vittorio Emanuele e Via Bandiera, che storicamente faceva parte di un unico sistema urbano che cuciva il mercato del Capo con il Mercato della Vucciria. Le operazioni urbanistiche del secolo scorso (il taglio di via Roma, il il progetto di riorganizzazione dell'intero rione, la costruzione della Galleria delle Vittorie) hanno cancellato quasi definitivamente sia le sue presenza architettoniche che l'impianto del suo tessuto viario. The object of study is the disappeared Rione Conceria inside the Historical Center of Palerm…
The urban project as a project of modification
2015
The essay “The urban project as a project of modification” focuses on three different aspects: the architecture as a disciplinary corpus of spatial composition of the space, the city as Carlo Cattaneo describes it, as: "the principle of all histories" and finally the definition following the concept of creativity, as modification of the existing (Vittorio Gregotti). This triad of key words - that has connoted the title of the Summer School, edition 2014 - reflects on the relationship that has been developed in the twentieth century between architectural design and urban planning, but above all concentrating on a possible new relationship in response to the growing needs of the cities and se…
Il ruolo della periferia nella costruzione della città moderna
2023
The essay critically traces some exempla of public residential housing that have characterised the development of the urban periphery of 20th century Italian cities. There are many experiences that describe the close union that existed throughout the last century between the suburbs and the construction of new public housing in our country. In this regard, three different historical thresholds that mark as many significant moments in the urban history of Italian cities are identified. The different periods correspond with the promulgation of likewise laws. The first one in chronological order was the Luzzati Law, which tried to respond to the industrial city needs for new housing through th…
Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…
Analysis of the impact on tourism of the megaproject-based urban development strategy. The case of the city of Valencia
2017
Desde finales de los años 80 del pasado siglo, las ciudades europeas están desarrollando políticas de gestión urbana en la línea de lo que se ha venido en denominar city-marketing, urban-branding, o urbanismo neoliberal. El objetivo de estas políticas es posicionar a la ciudad en el contexto internacional potenciando su singularidad, para lo cual la principal estrategia ha sido la construcción de mega-edificios y la organización de eventos con impacto en los medios de comunicación globales. El aumento de la atractividad turística en las ciudades es utilizado como un indicador de éxito de dichas políticas. La ciudad de Valencia no ha sido ajena a este tipo de estrategias. El presente artícul…
Rethinking practices of assessment for learning: Tablet technology supported assessment for learning mathematics
2013
This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. It is challenging for teachers of large classes to regularly assess students' mathematics in order to help them improve their learning achievement. Given the complexity of assessing and providing feedback for learning, a new approach to assessment for learning was suggested. Media tablet technology supported assessment processes were devised and user studies were conducted in Norway and Rwanda. There are indications that students like to be involved in assessing each other's mathematics work. Students expect to get learning gains by providing and obtaining feedback to/from their peers using technology supported tools.
