A Semantic Web Approach for Geodata Discovery

2013

International audience; Currently, vast amounts of geospatial information are o ffered through OGC's services. However this information has limited formal semantics. The most common method to search for a dataset consists in matching keywords to metadata elements. By adding semantics to available descriptions we could use modern inference and reasoning mechanisms currently available in the SemanticWeb. In this paper we present a novel architecture currently in development in which we use state of the art triplestores as the backend of a CSW service. In our approach, each metadata record is considered an instance of a given class in a domain ontology. Our architecture also adds a spatial dat…

Erratum to: Dual sensory loss and social participation in older Europeans

2013

The purpose of the study was to describe the prevalence of hearing difficulties, vision difficulties and dual sensory difficulties in 11 European countries, and to study whether sensory difficulties are associated with social inactivity in older Europeans. This cross-sectional study is based on the 2004 data collection of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe comprising 27,536 men and women aged 50 years and older. Hearing and vision difficulties, as well as participation in seven different social activities were assessed using a structured computer-assisted personal interview. Logistic regression models were used for analyses. Altogether, 5.9 % of the participants reported …

Effects of far-infrared sauna bathing on recovery from strength and endurance training sessions in men

2015

Purpose: This study investigated effects of far-infrared sauna (FIRS) bathing on recovery from strength training and endurance training sessions, but also possible differences between FIRS and traditional (TRAD) Finnish sauna bathing. Methods: Ten healthy physically active male volunteers had on various days either a 60 min hypertrophic strength training session (STS) or a 34–40 min maximal endurance training session (ETS), which was following by 30 min bathing in special FIRS sauna at temperature of 35–50°C and humidity of 25–35%. After the sauna, subjects sat for 30 min at room temperature (21°C and 25–30% humidity). In comparison, 30 min of TRAD took place at 35–50°C and in 60–70% humidi…

Pas de décision collective sans appropriation individuelle.

2008

La prise de décision est souvent assimilée à la notion de choix. Pourtant, l'acte de choix final n'englobe qu'une faible partie de ce qui fait réellement le processus global de prise de décision (Roy, 1985). Comme le rappelle (Desthieux, 2006), " dans l'optique d'une aide à la décision concertée, l'outil est un support important pour impliquer les acteurs très tôt dans un processus et leur permettre de négocier leur conception du problème décisionnel ". Ainsi, pour préparer le débat sur la recherche de solutions consensuelles, les projets de développement territorial appuient bien souvent leurs analyses sur des outils qui manipulent des représentations du territoire ou donn…

About the Ambassador Vich Palace s distribution and some thoughts on its patio

2019

[ES] El palacio del Embajador Vich es todavía una de las grandes asignaturas pendientes de la historiografía valenciana. Su patio, reconstruido en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia, ha sido estudiado por diversos autores en las últimas décadas y se ha relacionado con el panorama romano de la época, asumiendo no obstante su autoría local. En cuanto al resto del edificio, apenas se ha tratado sobre él, más allá de algunas interpretaciones basadas en los planos de Tosca y Fortea. En el presente artículo pretendemos contribuir a conocer algo mejor la residencia histórica de los barones de Llaurí a partir de dos inventarios del siglo XVII. Igualmente reflexionaremos sobre algunas incógnitas t…

The Dynamics of the Global Multinationals: Determinants of New Global Configurations and New Management Challenges

2018

During the last few decades, the complex interplay between (the process of) globalization and (the evolution of global) multinationals has radically changed both the architecture of the global economy and the characteristics of their main players – the global multinationals; new configurations have emerged, while new complexities have replaced them, in unprecedented (in terms of speed, breadth, and depth) manners, adding new valences to the challenges firms and their strategists are confronting nowadays. The aim of the paper is to identify (some of) the most significant shifts that have marked the dynamics of the global multinationals during the last two decades, in order to sketch the new …

L’architettura gotica in Sicilia centro-orientale nelle perizie degli architetti d’età moderna

2018

L’ARCHITETTURA GOTICA IN SICILIA CENTRO-ORIENTALE NELLE PERIZIE DEGLI ARCHITETTI D’ETÀ MODERNA Il contributo si concentra sulla percezione e sulla valutazione da parte degli architetti siciliani d’età moderna di opere costruite sull’isola in età gotica. L’occasione del confronto emerge soprattutto dalle perizie redatte durante l’elaborazione di nuovi progetti (di ammodernamento, di completamento) che contemplano la salvaguardia o la distruzione delle strutture del passato. Le relazioni selezionate in questa occasione affrontano pertanto questioni di carattere prevalentemente estetico e di linguaggio, ma anche le ragioni inerenti alle strutture e quelle relative alle economie (di cantiere, d…
