Searching the internet for learning materials through didactic indicators
2007
Internet offers a huge amount of didactic materials that can be used in creating new online courses. However, those materials need a deep analysis to understand their context and contents before their potential use. As a consequence, the search of didactic material in internet is often quite tedious and time consuming so the searcher usually limits his/her analysis to the first found web pages . To help users in finding efficiently and timely the most appropriate online materials, we have developed a system, called SAXEF (System for Automatic eXtraction of lEearning object Features), that is capable to automatically extract the didactic indicators (a sort of DNA) of any web page (or group o…
Life Cycle Assessment of solar heating and cooling systems: the tool “ELISA”
2018
Solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems play an important role in the achievement of energy and climate European goals. The benefits of these technologies should be evaluated taking into account their lifecycle energy and environmental impacts, calculated by applying the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The development of a complete LCA can be difficult and time-consuming particularly for no-LCA experts, discouraging them in the inclusion of the lifecycle perspective in their assessments. To overcome this limit, the paper presents “ELISA - Environmental Lifecycle Impacts of Solar Air-conditioning systems”, a user-friendly simplified tool for estimating the lifecycle energy and envir…
On-Line Retrieval of Health Information Based on Language Complexity, Information Customization and Information Quality
2021
Abstract. A patient, nowadays, acquires on-line health information mainly by means of a search engine. Generic search engines have been shown to be limited and unsatisfactory, at times, because of their generic searches that overload users with the amount of results. Moreover, they are not able to provide customized information to different types of users. At the same time, specific search engines mostly work on medical literature and provide extracts from medical journals that are mainly useful for medical researchers and experts. As a consequence, the found health information may or may not help a user (mainly a non-expert one) for a full comprehension of what he/she is looking for (e.g.,…
La decisione politica nel tempo dell'emergenza sanitaria
2020
The article deals with the problem of the legal nature of the d.P.C.M., the act enacted by the government after the declaration of the health emergency. In particular, the paper aims at investigating the debate around the technical re- quirements in the political decision and the judicial review on the administra- tive measure, in order to verify their compliance with the Constitution.
Law as Power: Two Rule of Law Requirements
2013
Abstract. ‘Law as power’ is a neglected topic in contemporary analytical jurisprudence. Attention has been paid, from Hart (and Kelsen) onwards, to normative powers. ‘Brute’ social power, however, and law’s relation to it, are, in post-Hartian jurisprudence, largely overlooked. The subject of this paper is the shape social power takes when the rule of the law is envisaged as an ethico-political ideal—I discuss, that is, the Rule of Law as a specific mode of the exercise of social power, and what is valuable in it. I concentrate on two Rule of Law requirements, consistency (i.e., the avoidance of conflicts) and compliability (i.e., conformity to the ‘ought’ implies ‘can’ principle). They con…
On the origins of body size dimorphism in primates
1986
Among many explanations concerning the origins of dimorphism in Primates, none has received as little attention as the differences in energy requirements of the two sexes. It is hypothesised that among Primates, a common strategy for overcoming the extra metabolic load of pregnency and lactation experienced by females during the greater part of their adult lifetimes, is for them to reduce their bodyweights relative to those of males. Such a strategy allows the mother plus infant combination to weight approximately as much as the species target weight or slightly less, preserving the balance between the species and the environment.
ESIGENZE E REQUISITI NELLE PASSERELLE DEI SITI ARCHEOLOGICI
2016
C'è stato un interesse crescente per la conservazione del patrimonio culturale e archeologico e un corrispondente aumento del numero di turisti che hanno interesse a questi settori. Di conseguenza, ciò ha comportato strategie di intervento più attenti che mirano alla conservazione, all'apprezzamento, al godimento e allo sfruttamento del nostro patrimonio storico e artistico. Il ponte pedonale è strettamente legato agli aspetti museologici, architettonici e archeologici. Questo documento descrive alcune richieste da parte del visitatore, gli elementi essenziali che devono essere specificati nel progetto e i risultati che questi particolari manufatti, ovvero le passerelle, devono fornire per …
Business intelligence requirements in small sized enterprises
2016
Pienet ja keskisuuret yritykset keräävät nykyisin suuren määrän tietoa ja ovat kiinnostuneet Business Intelligencestä (BI), liiketoimintatiedon hallinnasta, pärjätäkseen kilpailussa liiketoimintaympäristössä. PK-yritykset ovat merkittäviä paikallisessa, kansallisessa ja jopa globaalissa mittakaavassa, sillä ne muodostavat ison osan taloudesta. Siitä huolimatta on tutkittu hyvin vähän sitä, minkälaisia vaatimuksia ja tarpeita näillä yrityksillä on BI:tä kohtaan. Tämän Pro gradu -tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää näitä vaatimuksia kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa teema- ja puolistrukturoidulla haastatteluilla. Yhdistävä tekijä BI-termistössä ja näkökulmissa on, se että kaikissa määrityksiss…
From Technology to the Human User
2008
When thinking of users, it is possible to look at them from a variety of perspectives. One essential way of considering users within the human–technology environment involves technical concepts. In this manner, we define what users should be able to do with a particular technical system. As such, there are tasks to accomplish and goals to reach by means of some technology, and therefore specific operations must be carried out in order to reach those goals or fulfill those tasks. For example, if someone wishes to buy boots from an eShop, it is necessary to get onto the Internet, find the eShop, find the boots, load them into a virtual shopping cart, and follow the process to check out. Savvy…
Requirements Model of Sociotechnical Systems Simulator Architecture
2017
To avoid any voluntary decisions it is desirable to examine the possible consequences that can be done by simulation. Unfortunately there is no unified methodology and technology for simulators designing. Above mentioned problem when development of each simulator has to be started from the scratches makes elaboration expensive and cumbersome. The article dealt with the way to joint understanding of simulators designing concept.
