Introduzione ad AWDA 2
2018
Il progetto di AWDA, Aiap Women in Design Award, ha una storia lunga e radici profonde, nasce nel 2009 da un’idea di Laura Moretti, si configura nel 2012 come Premio biennale a cura di Cinzia Ferrara, Daniela Piscitelli e Laura Moretti, diventa nel 2015 internazionale e si prepara ad assumere una dimensione mondiale con la terza edizione del 2017 includendo nella curatela anche Carla Palladino. L’intento del progetto, che affronta un tema importante e ancora poco indagato come quello del design della comunicazione visiva declinato al femminile, non è quello di esaminare un’area protetta, o ricercare peculiarità che caratterizzano una metodologia di progetto al femminile, quanto quello di at…
AWDA, AIAP WOMEN IN DESIGN AWARD, premio internazionale design della comunicazione
2013
AWDA è un progetto teso a intercettare e ricostruire contributi, testimonianze, stili e correnti legati al progetto di comunicazione nel tentativo di ri-costruire una storia del design grafico (o tante storie) non necessariamente attraverso i suoi protagonisti principali o quelli già storicizzati, bensì attraverso quel pulviscolo di professionisti che, a vario titolo, contribuiscono alla diffusione di quella cultura del progetto intesa non solo come capacità progettuale bensì anche come capacità di interpretare i contesti, proporre scenari futuri, oltre che a esemplificare quella capacità nella gestione dei sistemi e dei processi che la contemporaneità ci impone. Biennale, alla sua prima ed…

Design for social media engagement: Insights from elderly care assistance
2015
Abstract This paper explores an alternative view of design as an emergent process of engagement and learning, as opposed to the traditional view of systems design as a problem-solving tool. We focus on digitally enabled elderly support networks as an innovative approach to the design of elderly care assistance through social media. Our research project is conducted in the context of an Italian health-care institution and provides the empirical backdrop illustrating the ensemble artefact, the four design principles and the pragmatic outcomes of personalized elderly care interventions. These contributions add both practical and theoretical guidance and learning regarding social-media engageme…
Does Implementation Follow Design? A Case Study of a Workplace Health Promotion Program Using the 4-S Program Design and the PIPE Impact Metric Evalu…
2017
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the content of a multiyear market-based workplace health promotion (WHP) program and to evaluate design and implementation processes in a real-world setting. Methods: Data was collected from the databases of the employer and the service provider. It was classified using the 4-S (Size, Scope, Scalability, and Sustainability) and PIPE Impact Metric (Penetration, Implementation) models. Data analysis utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods. Results: Program design covered well the evidence-informed best practices except for clear path toward sustainability, cooperation with occupational health care, and support from middle-management …
Changes in the anterior chamber during accommodation assessed with a Scheimpflug system.
2014
Purpose To study changes in the anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter with accommodation. Setting University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. Design Evaluation of diagnostic technology. Methods A rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam HR) was used to measure changes in the ACD, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter with accommodation. Peripheral ACD was measured at the corneal center and 2.0 mm away from it in the nasal, superior, temporal, and inferior directions. The anterior chamber angle was computed as the mean anterior chamber angle of the entire eye. All measurements were obtained with accommodation stimuli ranging from +1.0 to −4.0 diopters (D) in…
Aminoacid zwitterions in solution : Geometric, energetic, and vibrational analysis using density functional theory-continuum model calculations
1998
Glycine and alanine aminoacids chemistry in solution is explored using a hybrid three parameters density functional (B3PW91) together with a continuum model. Geometries, energies, and vibrational spectra of glycine and alanine zwitterions are studied at the B3PW91/6-31+G∗∗ level and the results compared with those obtained at the HF and MP2/6-31+G∗∗ levels. Solvents effects are incorporated by means of an ellipsoidal cavity model with a multipolar expansion (up to sixth order) of the solute’s electrostatic potential. Our results confirm the validity of the B3PW91 functional for studying aminoacid chemistry in solution. Taking into account the more favorable scaling behavior of density funct…
Development of a new indole derivative dry powder for inhalation for the treatment of biofilm-associated lung infections
2022
The aim of this work was to produce an inhalable dry powder formulation of a new anti-biofilm compound (SC38). For this purpose, chitosan was used as a polymeric carrier and l-leucine as a dispersibility enhancer. SC38 was entrapped by spray-drying into previously optimized chitosan microparticles. The final formulation was fully characterized in vitro in terms of particle morphology, particle size and distribution, flowability, aerodynamic properties, anti-biofilm activity and effects on lung cell viability. The SC38-loaded chitosan microparticles exhibited favorable aerodynamic properties with emitted and respirable fractions higher than 80 % and 45 % respectively. The optimized formulati…
Multi-disciplinary, Inter-disciplinary, Anti-disciplinary. Transition Knowledges in Design Education
2023
The environmental issues are recently proving to be the center and the connecting element of all the states of crisis, only apparently diversified (energy, political, migration); after the lucid forward-looking analysis of Maldonado in the 70s, the vision proposed in 2019 by the exhibition Broken Nature opens new spaces to the “design hope” activated by design, emphasizing the broad responsibility that the designer must take on contemporary challenges. The complex scenarios of the “transition” (environmental, cultural, productive) are also based on the ability of disciplinary encroachment and on the most radical forms of “anti-disciplinary” innovation, which in some cases opens to design fo…
