Integrating vehicle specific power methodology and microsimulation in estimating emissions on urban roundabouts
2021
In this study pollutant emissions were estimated from VSP modal emission rates and the distribution of time spent in each VSP mode obtained from the speed profiles both gathered in the field and simulated in AIMSUN at a sample of urban roundabouts. The versatility of the micro-simulation model for a calibration aimed at improving accuracy of emissions estimates was tested in order to ensure that second-by-second trajectories experienced in the field by a test vehicle through the sampled roundabouts properly reflected the simulated speed profiles. The first results which the thesis will refer, confirmed the feasibility of the smart approach that integrates the use of field-observed and simul…
Urban Heat Island Monitoring and Impacts on Citizen's General Health Status in Isfahan Metropolis: A Remote Sensing and Field Survey Approach.
2020
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are one of the urban management challenges, especially in metropolises, which can affect citizens’ health and well-being. This study used a combination of remote sensing techniques with field survey to investigate systematically the effects of UHI on citizens’ health in Isfahan metropolis, Iran. For this purpose, the land surface temperature (LST) over a three-year period was monitored by Landsat-8 satellite imagery based on the split window algorithm. Then, the areas where UHI and urban cold island (UCI) phenomena occurred were identified and a general health questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was applied to evaluate the health status of 800 citizens in terms o…
Cultural surveys and Finnish cultural policy
2017
The following thesis revolves around the research question what is the role of cultural surveys in Finnish cultural policy? In order to try to answer this question, elements were taken into consideration involving the relationship between these types of surveys and trends followed in Finnish cultural policy. Among the elements analysed were: the model of cultural policy in Finland and its shifts, the main cultural surveys carry out in Finland, the cultural surveys at a local level using as an example the case of Helsinki, and the adoption of indicators as measurements for effectiveness in public policy. The research methods used were a combination of a revision of official documents, togeth…
Nuove dipendenze del terzo millennio: l'utilizzo di steroidi anabolizzanti come sostanza d'abuso
2005
Obiettivo. L'abuso di sostanze anabolizzanti si sta configurando come un problema di rilevanza psicosociale. L'uso di steroidi anabolizzanti in questi ultimi anni si è spostato dalla pratica sportiva professionale allo sport amatoriale e ad ambiti occupazionali particolari (buttafuori, modelli, ect.). La letteratura indica l'assuntore di steroidi come un poliassuntore che mette in atto condotte pericolose e aggressive per sé e per gli altri. L'obiettivo di questo studio è indagare le abitudini, le condotte di vita e il profilo psicologico di un gruppo di soggetti che frequentano centri sportivi nella città di Palermo (Italia), per verificare come l'utilizzo sconsiderato di sostanze anaboliz…
