Critical features about urban pedestrian crossings: a case study

2011

This paper describes how the theme of safety for vulnerable road users (disabled, elderly, and children) in urban areas plays an important role for many implications in these users’ quality of life. The deficiency of safety on city streets is primarily due to the simultaneous presence of different components of traffic in an increasingly complex and inappropriate surrounding for their cohabitation. In urban areas the road intersections, which are crossed by different categories of traffic (motorized vehicles, pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles), represent a critical node, both in terms of quality of circulation and that of road safety. In recent years , 76% of accidents have occurred in th…

Growth curves of sorghum roots via quantile regression with P-splines

2014

Plant roots are a major pool of total carbon in the planet and their dynamics are directly relevant to greenhouse gas balance. Composted wastes are increasingly used in agriculture for environmental and economic reasons and their role as a substitute for traditional fertilizers needs to be tested on all plant components. Here we propose a regression quantile approach based on P-splines to assess, quantify and compare the root growth patterns in two treatment groups respectively undergoing compost and traditional fertilization.

Interrelazioni tra disfunzione endoteliale e stress ossidativo; valutazione della perossidazione lipidica in particolari quadri clinici

2015

Il termine "disfunzione endoteliale" identifica una condizione patologica caratterizzata da ridotta vasodilatazione e da attività procoagulante e pro-infiammatoria, correlata ad una ridotta biodisponibilità di ossido nitrico (NO), ad un eccesso ossidativo e ad un'aumentata azione dell'endotelian 1 (ET-1).

Le molte vite di Adolfo Rossi: emigrante, giornalista, ispettore, diplomatico

2015

Adolfo Rossi (1857-1921) was a figure of relevance in the Italy of the XIX century. Native of the province of Rovigo, in the region of Veneto, aself-taught person, he was first a poor emigrant to the USA who became a journalist and combatant at the end of the century, hired by the most important newspapers; then, he was an itinerant inspector at the Commissariato Generale dell'Emigrazione (1902) and, finally, he was a diplomat in the Americas (from 1908) charged with duties in the Ministero italiano degli Esteri. He was the author of memorable journalistic reportages about social events and about the misery of the life in the peninsular campaign. Meanwhile, his harsh missives from Eritrea l…

Dannelse og samskaping av utdanning mellom akademia og sykehjem

2020

Cultivation and co-creation of education between academy and nursing home - a critical ethnography study Collaboration between academy and practice in education is emphasized. In this study, we explored and described boundary-crossing spaces, when co-creating an adjusted educational program for nursing students in a nursing home in Norway. Our aim was to explore how to learn person-centered dementia care through the participants in a learning community. A critical ethnographic approach and method with observations, field n otes, minutes of board, spontaneous meetings, and focus groups particularly with the students were used. Data were analyzed with six-step thematic analysis by Braun and…

On the typology of motion events in Aymara

2021

This paper investigates the lexicalization pattern of motion events in Aymara, an Andean language spoken in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. After providing a description of the morphosyntax of translational motion events, this study aims at a preliminary typological classification of Aymara within the framework of Talmy’s typology (Talmy 2000). With this purpose, three diagnostic tests have been used to determine the basic framing-typology of motion events. These tests consider i) the size of manner-of-motion lexicon and, more broadly, the degree of manner salience, ii) the complex-path constructions and the use of ‘plus-ground’ clauses, iii) the expression of boundary-crossing. The results of th…

Liiketoimintaprosessien kehittäminen Lean-ajattelua soveltamalla : tapaustutkimus

2018

Liiketoimintaprosessit ja niiden johtaminen on todettu olevan hyvin tehokas tapa johtaa liiketoimintaa. Liiketoimintaprosessien johtamisen on todettu parantavan organisaatioiden tuloksia mm. pienentämällä kustannuksia, lyhentämällä läpimenoaikoja ja parantamalla laatua. Organisaatiot eivät välttämättä havaitse tarvetta liiketoimintaprosessien muutokselle, vaikka teknologiat, asi-akkaiden vaatimukset tai markkinatilanteet muuttuvat. Liiketoimintaprosessien kehittämisestä on kuitenkin vähän käytettävissä olevaa tietoa. Tässä tutkielmassa kuvataan Lean-ajattelua liiketoimintaprosessien kehittämisen menetelmänä. Kirjallisuuden perusteella selvitettiin, mitä liiketoimintaprosesseilla, liiketoimi…
