Path dependency and landscape biographies in Latgale, Latvia: a comparative analysis
2010
This paper focuses on the path dependency of landscapes in Latgale, Latvia from the present perspective at the regional and local scale. During the last centuries Latvia's landscapes have passed through radical changes, which were driven by political events. Each new political era discarded the ideas of the previous era and subsequently reorganized the land(scape) according to the new views. At the regional level the role of history is significant in analyzing landscapes while at the local level the main force is people, often themselves not knowing the history of the place but putting the existing path dependency into practise or disregarding it. The biographies of two former villages are …
Integrated surveying techniques in cultural heritage documentation
2007
This paper is focused on integration between laser scanning data, CAD modelling and photogrammetric data collected during the survey of one façade of the monument called “Quattro Canti” in the historic centre of Palermo. The investigation has been directed to the production of a 3D photorealistic model of the monument. The “Quattro Canti” monument is formed by four cylindrical façades facing the square where the older streets of Palermo intersect; each façade has a symbolic reference to one of the seasons and is divided in four levels. The façade called “Canto dell’Autunno” has been surveyed both with laser scanning and with photogrammetric techniques. Laser scanning data have been collecte…
Integration of terrestrial laser scanning and UAV-SFM technique to generate a detailed 3D textured model of a heritage building
2020
The digital twin is among the Top 10 of the strategic technological trends for the period 2007-2019, and it represents a powerful tool for the conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. It reproduces with "precision" a physical asset, thus allowing to investigate its structure and to analyze the deformations that occur over the years. Various techniques have been introduced to obtain high-resolution 3D models. Among these, the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) is widely recognized as the gold standard to generate accurate 3D metric reconstructions. TLS allows acquiring a lot of data (point cloud) in a fast way, being not in physical contact with the objects of investigation. By integr…
Rock decay phenomena and collapse processes in the “Latomiae del Paradiso” in Syracuse (Sicily)
2014
The Latomiae (origin: Greek latomia, from laas, las stone plus –tomia tomy ) del Paradiso in Syracuse are Magna Graecia rock quarries, located in the coastal areas of Southern Italy and internationally renowned for their impressive environment. The few historical technical records do not help clarify the events that led to their current configuration since a series of instability phenomena occurred due to decay processes over time. Through a geotechnical back-analysis, this work highlights the failure phenomena, which may have led to the current configuration of the easterly side of the Latomiae del Paradiso. The back-analysis process was carried out by means of numerical modelling, support…
"Acta Universitatis Latviensis" - a manifestation of the intellectual performance of the University of Latvia
2016
This conference "Library. Science. Communication: the formation of the national information space" (Kyiv, 2016) abstract on „Acta Universitatis Latviensis” as a manifestation of the intellectual performance of the University of Latvia gives an overview of the historical diversity of the Scientific Papers of the University of Latvia during almost a whole century – from the first issue in 1921 to the latest editions of 2016. Acta Universitatis Latviensis is a substantial quintessence of the research activities of the University of Latvia and allows to get to know and to evaluate the development of Latvian scientific thought in European and world context. The University Library has a particula…

Legally protected cultural goods and bankruptcy proceedings
2020
This paper deals with general problems of legal aims of bankruptcy proceedings in connection with the aims of heritage protection – issues built by completely different systems of values. Bankruptcy is designed for protecting pecuniary interest of a limited group of people, while cultural heritage is protected for present and future generations, despite its current commercial significance. In the global environment, bankruptcy of a cultural goods owner usually has a cross-border range but national bankruptcy legislations and laws devoted to heritage protection differ in very serious aspects. For this reason the paper is not limited to any concrete legal order. There are discussed some impor…
Patrimonio etnológico e identidades en España: Un estudio comparativo a través de la legislación
2008
Beatriz.Santamarina@uv.es; gil.hernandez@uv.es; Albert.Moncusi@uv.es Este artículo es una aproximación a cómo la legislación española construye el patrimonio cultural o histórico y el patrimonio etnológico a través de una ampliación de contenidos y una vinculación a un determinado colectivo de referencia. Para ello, se analizan los discursos de las leyes autonómicas de Patrimonio teniendo también en cuenta la ley de Patrimonio Histórico, de 1985. El análisis realizado permite observar, para el caso español, el carácter diverso y difuso del concepto de patrimonio etnológico y la relevancia de las leyes autonómicas de patrimonio cultural para la sustentación de los regionalismos y nacionalism…
De l'"offre langagière" des enseignants - quelles interactions langagières avec des enfants d'origine linguistico-culturelle étrangère? : (Cas de Qur…
2013
International audience; Qurtan, Ivan, Gareth sont respectivement turc, marocain et gallois, et scolarisés nouvellement en maternelle en France. Est-ce que le déterminant qu’est l’offre langagière de l’enseignant, dont j’ai repéré certaines caractéristiques nécessaires pour l’évolution langagière des élèves, vaut pour ces élèves d’origine linguistico-culturelle autre ? Et quelle influence peut avoir le recours au récit, avec sa part d’universalité, sur leur envie de continuer à apprendre à parler ? J’ai analysé à la fois de manière longitudinale et contrastive les interactions langagières entre un enseignant et un élève d’origine linguistico-culturelle turque (Qurtan) sur une année scolaire …
La recherche comme aide à la conscientisation par l'enseignant de son « offre langagière »
2011
International audience; Indifférence, coexistence, ou enrichissement réciproque, tels sont les rapports possibles entre les sciences du langage et la formation des enseignants. Il ne fait pas de doute qu’un lien entre les deux dimensions est à garantir et à construire. En observant quelques interactions langagières entre enseignants et élèves en maternelle, en repérant l’influence effective des offres langagières de l’enseignant sur les pratiques langagières de l’élève, dans le cadre notamment de la reformulation, se détermine bien une inscription effective dans le champ des sciences du langage. De fait, l’analyse interactionnelle met clairement en relief la nécessité d’une formation à l’ét…
