Agriculture and Sustainability: a GIS Based Model to Appraise Incentive Policy
2015
Agriculture is the major form of protection of local identities and sustainability and one of the most fragile Italian economic sectors, exposed to fluctuations of the financial/economic crisis. As a consequence, boosting agricultural policies should integrate conflicting objectives connected to preservation and innovation, effectiveness/efficiency, and landscape features and job opportunities. Referring to a large land area located in the central part of Sicily (Italy) the paper proposes an assessment/planning pattern aimed at providing some axiological items and a specific algorithm able to appraise each specific land parcel, generating different strategies and selecting the best format o…
Sustainable tourism in the rural areas of a Southern Italian region
2012
In the last few years, a significant interest has been observed about all the possible ways rural tourism is carried out, but especially concerning agritourism, which represents the main specific application. Rural tourism is a form of sustainable tourism since its pillar is constituted by both valorisation and conservation of the environmental and territorial situation where economic activity is carried out in tune with identity and culture of local communities. From the official statistical data, it brings out the fact that this economic activity, widely spread in the Italian territory, may provide a significant financial support both to agricultural firms and to the whole economic sector…

L’AGROALIMENTARE TRA GLOBALE E LOCALE: dall’Italian sounding ai mercati storici di Palermo
2014
Il tema dell'italian sounding e della tutela delle tipicità è oggi di grande importanza nel quadro della valorizzazione dei prodotti agroalimentari con valenza territoriale e tipica. L'approvvigionamento alimentare delle città avviene tramite i grandi circuiti globali della distribuzione mentre i mercati storici costituiscono un'attrazione turistica e una manifestazione della cultura mediterranea. Si ipotizza un loro ruolo nel consentire la valorizzazione locale dei prodotti regionali.
A Deep Learning Model for Automatic Sleep Scoring using Multimodality Time Series
2021
Sleep scoring is a fundamental but time-consuming process in any sleep laboratory. Automatic sleep scoring is crucial and urgent to help address the increasing unmet need for sleep research. Therefore, this paper aims to develop an end-to-end deep learning architecture using raw polysomnographic recordings to automate sleep scoring. The proposed model adopts two-dimensional convolutional neural networks (2D-CNN) to automatically learn features from multi-modality signals, together with a "squeeze and excitation" block for recalibrating channel-wise feature responses. The learnt representations are finally fed to a softmax classifier to generate predictions for each sleep stage. The model pe…
A Bayesian Reconstruction of a Historical Population in Finland, 1647–1850
2020
This article provides a novel method for estimating historical population development. We review the previous literature on historical population time-series estimates and propose a general outline to address the well-known methodological problems. We use a Bayesian hierarchical time-series model that allows us to integrate the parish-level data set and prior population information in a coherent manner. The procedure provides us with model-based posterior intervals for the final population estimates. We demonstrate its applicability by estimating the long-term development of Finlands population from 1647 onward and simultaneously place the country among the very few to have an annual popula…
Angļu valodas komercpārvadājumus apzīmējošās terminoloģijas analīze
2015
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt ar starptautiskajiem komercpārvadājumiem saistīto terminoloģiju angļu valodā, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot tās izcelsmei un pielietojumam. Pētījuma teorētiskajā daļā sniegts ieskats galvenajos starptautiskās tirdzniecības un terminrades principosl. Empīriskais pētījums pievēršas starptautisko komercpārvadājumu terminoloģijas izcelsmei angļu valodā. Pētījums parade, ka vairus terminu, kas saistīti ar starptautiskajiem komercpārvadājumiem ir aizgūti no citām valodām.
Liikuntaintervention vaikutus 3-7-vuotiaiden lasten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen ja motorisiin taitoihin sekä fyysisen aktiivisuuden yhteys sydän- ja ver…
2005
Sääkslahti selvitti väitöskirjatutkimuksessaan runsaaseen ulkoliikuntaan kannustavan liikuntaohjelman vaikutuksia 3-7-vuotiaiden lasten liikunnan määrään ja perustaitoihin. Lisäksi hän tarkasteli liikunnan määrän ja laadun yhteyttä sepelvaltimotaudin riskitekijöihin.Lapset tarvitsevat liikuntaa kasvaakseen ja kehittyäkseen. Hyvin pitkään oletettiin, että lapset liikkuvat ja leikkivät riittävästi. 1990-luvun aikana erilaiset tietotekniset laitteet ja pelit alkoivat kilpailla lasten huomiosta ja ajankäytöstä. Hyvin suuri osa lasten ns. vapaista leikeistä on aikaisemmin ollut erilaisia kasvua ja kehitystä tukevia liikuntaleikkejä. 2000-luvun alussa tilanne kuitenkin on muuttunut. Ajankäytön mu…
Funciones test para optimización mono-objetivo
2018
Para resolver la mayor parte de problemas de optimización del mundo real son necesarias técnicas sofisticadas, tales como los algoritmos evolutivos, que no se basan en el Cálculo Infinitesimal y que, en consecuencia, nunca caben en los planes de estudios de los grados en ciencia e ingeniería. No obstante, el ingeniero tendrá que utilizar tales técnicas antes o después. Para poner a prueba la habilidad de tales técnicas de optimización se suelen utilizar problemas de benchmarking que exhiben algunas de las características de los problemas del mundo real. En este artículo enumeramos brevemente algunas de tales características y presentamos una colección de problemas de optimización mono-objet…
ANALISI STRUTTURALE DI UN TIMONE PER ALISCAFI
2012
Attualmente i sistemi di controllo direzionale (timone) e di stabilità (flap) dei battelli veloci per il trasporto passeggeri (HSC) sono realizzati con elementi scatolari in acciaio. Ciò è essenzialmente dovuto alle notevoli sollecitazioni idrodinamiche che tali elementi sopportano a causa dell’elevata velocità di crociera. L’esigenza di ridurre il peso di tali elementi e di aumentarne la resistenza alle azioni corrosive esterne spinge ad una ricerca su materiali e tecnologie di fabbricazioni innovative. In questo studio è presentato il progetto di un timone, realizzato in materiale ibrido composito e acciaio, da impiegare su un battello per trasporto veloce passeggeri.
