Breaking Stereotypes Concerning Remigrated Children - A Multinational Possible Intervention Plan through School
2021
The article is based on a multinational study involving five countries (Romania, Portugal, Italy, North Macedonia, and Iceland) facing the return migration or remigration situation. Pupils (n = 1615), teachers (n = 370), future teachers (n = 166) and youth workers (n = 30) were questioned about various aspects regarding the subject. Among the matters, cultural needs appear to the most important. Based on the statistical analysis, the article describes the dynamics of the dependent variables, with highlighted interest on cultural needs. Psychological and social needs, cultural needs, and educational needs are discussed and link conclusions appear. Following the analysis, an intervention plan…
Nonlocal Second Order Vehicular Traffic Flow Models And Lagrange-Remap Finite Volumes
2011
In this paper a second order vehicular macroscopic model is derived from a microscopic car–following type model and it is analyzed. The source term includes nonlocal anticipation terms. A Finite Volume Lagrange–remap scheme is proposed.
The Relationship Between the Stomatognathic System and Body Posture
2009
In recent years, many researchers have investigated the various factors that can influence body posture: mood states, anxiety, head and neck positions, oral functions (respiration, swallowing), oculomotor and visual systems, and the inner ear. Recent studies indicate a role for trigeminal afferents on body posture, but this has not yet been demonstrated conclusively. The present study aims to review the papers that have shown a relationship between the stomatognathic system and body posture. These studies suggest that tension in the stomatognathic system can contribute to impaired neural control of posture. Numerous anatomical connections between the stomatognathic system’s proprioceptive i…
Dabiskie zālāji Vidzemes augstienes agroainavā: biodaudzveidība un tās saglabāšanas sociālekonomiskie aspekti
2015
Bakalaura darba „Dabiskie zālāji Vidzemes agroainavā: biodaudzveidība un tās saglabāšanas sociālekonomiskie aspekti” mērķis ir noskaidrot dabisko zālāju daudzveidību Vidzemes augstienē un tās saglabāšanas sociālekonomiskos faktorus. Visā Latvijas teritorijā dabisko zālāju platības samazinās, tomēr to saglabāšanai ir liela nozīme, jo dabiskajos zālājos ir ļoti augsta gan dzīvnieku, gan augu sugu daudzveidība. Dabiskie zālāji nespēj pastāvēt bez cilvēka klātbūtnes, tieši tāpēc ir svarīgi zināt iemeslus, kāpēc dabiskie zālāji tiek pamesti vai apsaimniekoti nepareizi. Dabisko zālāju biodaudzveidība Vidzemes augstienē samazinās, zemes īpašnieki novērtē dabas vērtību, bet, ņemot vērā šī brīža aps…
The effect of climate on Burgundy vintage quality rankings.
2019
Aim: Based on consensus rankings from prominent rating authorities, we examined the importance of a suite of climatic variables, organized by winegrape phenological stage, in distinguishing between high- and low-ranked vintages in Burgundy.Methods and Results: Vintage ratings of Burgundy wines acquired from 12 sources were evaluated to develop consensus rankings for red and white wines from 1961–2015. Climate variables (air temperature, precipitation, degree-day accumulations, etc.) were organized by mean phenological stage and compared between good and poor vintages using Mann-Whitney U tests and multivariate stepwise discriminant function analysis. High temperatures, particularly during t…
Proportions in Salvatore Caronia Roberti Between Theory and Practice
2022
AbstractIn 1949 Salvatore Caronia Roberti published the volume Introduzione allo studio della composizione architettonica. It is a compendium of his own studies and research came together in his architecture, testifying to the close interweaving of theory and practice. Caronia Roberti was a student of Ernesto Basile, one of the leading exponents of Art Nouveau, a style in which proportions played a marginal place. He later broke away from the Master’s school to attempt a new path in which geometry and proportion constitute the core of his theoretical research. This study aims to highlights the organic nature of Caronia Roberti’s thought, between architectural history and representation, by …

Issues Related to the Restoration of Mirrors of the Wooden paliotto della chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso all’Albergheria, Sicily (Italy)
2017
ABSTRACTIn this work, the decision-making process involved in the restoration of the eighteenth century paliotto ligneo (wooden altar frontal) della chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso all’Albergheria of Palermo is presented. Earlier research concerning mirror restoration was based on only a few case studies and the proposed techniques were not suitable for the artwork here. As a consequence, it was necessary to re-examine theories and protocols of modern restoration to plan an appropriate intervention of the altar frontal. Since in this artwork the role of mirrors is not to give back images, as usual, but rather to create special light effects and play of lights, this work aims to find an app…

General questionswere addressed to M.Disney, E.Groth and D.Wells, who have expressed in the Workshop the point of view from Astronomy in the Sections “Data Analysis methodologies”, “Image processing” and “Systems for Data Analysis” respectively:
Visual Perception and Graphic Analysis. The Pattern of Inlays in the Cathedral of Palermo
2017
The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the monuments belonging to the Arab-Norman Itinerary, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015. This text uses geometric analysis to describe some of the inlaid circular designs from the eastern façade, the corner towers and the apses. The cataloguing of the two-tone geometric motifs also reveals aspects that can be linked back to the laws of visual perception. Hence, the text investigates these aspects based on a new reading. In fact, decomposing these elements based on the experience of their perception also facilitates the recognition of elementary figures. The attempt made in this brief text intends to induce a new perceptive awareness resulting f…
