Il centro commerciale come palinsesto aumentato. Innovazioni nell’edificio pubblico
2018
L’articolo discute alcuni caratteri architettonici del centro commerciale inteso come impianto su cui la riflessione disciplinare può operare nuovi indirizzi di intervento, attraverso una lettura genealogica con particolare riferimento alla pianta. L’ideale dell’open space, ipotesi di totale libertà della pianta senza tramezzi divisori, viene acquisito negli ultimi trent’anni del Novecento dagli architetti radicali. Le supersuperfici neutre che fanno riferimento al supermercato, lo promuovono a sintesi di ogni spazialità perché ciò sia un monito, espresso attraverso l’evocazione di un universo distopico in cui ogni significato sociale si esprimerà attraverso la produzione e la vendita delle…
Contrasting Effects of Chronic Anthropogenic Disturbance on Activity and Species Richness of Insectivorous Bats in Neotropical Dry Forest
2022
For prioritizing conservation actions, it is vital to understand how ecologically diverse species respond to environmental change caused by human activity. This is particularly necessary considering that chronic human disturbance is a threat to biodiversity worldwide. Depending on how species tolerate and adapt to such disturbance, ecological integrity and ecosystem services will be more or less affected. Bats are a species-rich and functionally diverse group, with important roles in ecosystems, and are therefore recognized as a good model group for assessing the impact of environmental change. Their populations have decreased in several regions, especially in the tropics, and are threatene…
Tieteelliset laskentasovellukset ja pilvipalvelut – erityistarkastelussa AWS
2014
Perinteisesti IT-resurssien hankinta on tapahtunut hankkimalla laitteistoa ja ohjelmistoja omaan tai organisaation omistukseen. Näiden resurssien käyttö on yleensä tarkoittanut merkittäviä investointeja laitteistoihin, ohjelmistoihin ja näiden ylläpitoon. Suuressa organisaatiossa kalliiden IT-resurssien käyttöönotto voi olla joissain tapauksissa hyvinkin byrokraattinen prosessi. Tieteellinen laskenta edellyttää usein erittäin suurta laskenta- ja tallennuskapasiteettia. Tutkijat hyötyisivät raskaaseen laskentaan vaadittavien IT-resurssien hankkimisesta palveluna, jolloin usein niukat resurssit voitaisiin keskittää vaadittavan laitteiston hankkimisen ja ylläpidon sijaan ydinongelman tutkimise…
About the Horrific Peril of Reading on Digital Devices
2015
Abstract Reading on digital devices has become a widely debated issue in mass media and academia. The dawn and consolidation of digital technology have made possible new devices for reading. In the Internet era, reading is not just a matter of books and paper. This loss of exclusiveness has generated different anxieties in many intellectuals, researchers, journalists, editors, and publishers related to the printing environment. An analysis of such uneasiness can provide clues about the hidden interests and misunderstandings implied in their arguments. Revealing anxious claims about digital devices can enlighten us about the multiple factors and interests involved in the act of reading.
El futuro del derecho como lucha contra la idolatría tecnológica
2019
The main challenge that Law will have to face in the near future is the defense of human being against the uncontrolled power of technology in different spheres: ecology versus the becoming of a new geological age: the Anthropocene; the finances, versus speculation and taxes fraud; biolaw, versus the transhumanist challenge; the rights to privacy and no manipulation versus GAF( Google, Amazon, Facebook). El reto principal al que debera hacer frente el derecho en el futuro es la defensa del ser humano frente al poder incontrolado de la tecnologia en diferentes campos: la ecologia, frente a la aparicion de una nueva era geologica: el Antropoceno; las finanzas, frente a la especulacion y el fr…
QCloud-API for synchronous and asynchronous file transfer in Qt
2012
Pilvipalveluiden käyttö ohjelmissa on lisääntynyt, sillä niiden avulla voidaan tarjota uusia ominaisuuksia suhteellisen pienellä vaivalla. Kuitenkin eri palveluntarjoajien eroista johtuen pilvipalvelusta toiseen siirtyminen on vaikeaa, ja usein vaatii mittavaa uudelleen koodausta ohjelmassa. Tämän gradun tarkoitus oli yhdistää eri pilvipalveluntarjoajien palvelut saman APIn taakse, ja näin tarjota helpompi tapa siirtyä yhdestä palvelusta toiseen. Esitelty QCloud-API tarjoaa tarpeelliset ominaisuudet Windows Azuren ja Amazonin S3 palveluiden käyttöön yhden APIn kautta, jolloin palvelusta toiseen ei vaadi ohjelmassa kuin korkeintaan yhden rivin muutoksen. There is growing need for using servi…
An annotated checklist of freshwater Copepoda (Crustacea, Hexanauplia) from continental Ecuador and the Galapagos Archipelago.
2019
An annotated checklist of the free-living freshwater Copepoda recorded in different regions in Ecuador (including the Amazon, the Andes, the coastal region, and the Galapagos Islands) is here provided. We revised all published records, critically evaluated the validity of each taxon and provided short taxonomic and biogeographical remarks for each one. A total of 27 taxa have been reported, including species and records at the generic level only. The species and taxa identified only up to the generic level belong to five families and 14 genera. The Cyclopoida is the most diverse group with 16 records belonging to species (or identified to the generic level only) and eight genera, followed b…
Cryptic diversity within three South American whip spider species (Arachnida, Amblypygi)
2020
4 pages; International audience; Cryptic diversity (CD), the presence of highly divergent phylogenetic lineages within closed morphological species, has been documented for many taxa. Great arachnid orders such as Araneae or Scorpiones are well studied and many cases of CD have been described therein; to date, however, related research on smaller arachnid orders, such as whip spiders (Amblypygi), remains lacking. In the current study, we investigated CD based on cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) in three nominal species of the genus Heterophrynus (H. alces, H. batesii, and H. longicornis), represented by 65 specimens. The sequences were compared using three different methods. All three species sho…
The role of ENSO flavours and TNA on recent droughts over Amazon forests and the Northeast Brazil region
2019
Amazon tropical forests and the semiarid Northeast Brazil (NEB) region have registered very severe droughts during the last two decades, with a frequency that may have exceeded natural climate variability. Severe droughts impact the physiological response of Amazon forests, decreasing the availability to absorb atmospheric CO2, as well as biodiversity and increasing risk of fires. Droughts on this region also affect population by isolating them due to anomalous low river levels. Impacts of droughts over NEB region are related to water and energy security and subsistence agriculture. Most drought episodes over Amazonia and NEB are associated with El Nino (EN) events, anomalous warming over t…
A New Perspective on the Textile and Apparel Industry in the Digital Transformation Era
2022
The textile and apparel (fashion) industry has been influenced by developments in societal socio-cultural and economic structures. Due to a change in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond economic value, the fashion industry is at the forefront of digitalization. The growing digitalization in the fashion industry corresponds to digital fashion, which can satisfy the rapid shift in consumers’ preferences. This paper explores the evolving con-cept of innovations in digital fashion in the textile and apparel industry. Specifically, it centers on the evaluation of Amazon’s digital fashion initiatives, which have made the platform the Un…
