DEM-resolution control on rainfall-triggered landslide modeling within a triangulated network-based model
2019
Catchment slope distribution significantly controls rainfall-triggered landslide modeling, in both direct and indirect ways. Slope directly determines the soil volume associated with instability. Indirectly, it affects the subsurface lateral redistribution of soil moisture across the basin, which in turn determines the water pore pressure conditions that impact slope stability. It is thus clear that the accuracy in reproducing slope distribution may be crucial in slope stability analysis. The resolution of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) regulates the description of the topography. The correlation between raster resolution and landslide model outputs has been investigated in the literatur…

Autosabotaggio e procrastinazione: strategie di prevenzione del sentire mafioso
2017
Nell’analisi della dispersione scolastica il fenomeno della procrastination è stato spesso sottovalutato. La nostra ricerca ha correlato i processi di selfhandicapping con quelli connessi all’abbandono del percorso di studio. La procrastination è stata studiata come processo di co-stante rinvio degli impegni scolastici e delle occasioni di recupero. Lo studio è stato condotto su di un gruppo di 956 studenti delle scuole superiori, distin-guendo due diverse aree: quella delle strategie di studio e di coping nella gestione delle prove scolastiche; quella delle relazioni sociali e delle priorità in esse. Queste variabili sono state correlate con il locus of control e con le strategie di self e…
The importance of association between sexsteroids deficiency, reduction of bone mineral density and falling risk in men with implications in medical …
2021
Introduction. Endocrino-metabolic rehabilitation represent one of the most complex sector in clinical medicine, regarding functional rehabilitation. Sex hormones deficiency plays an important role in the etiology of osteoporosis in men. At the same time, with age, the trophic role of androgens on muscle decreases and determines an increased frequency of falls. The objective of our study is to determine the association between sexsteroids deficiency, reduction of bone mineral density (BMD) and falling risk in men. Methods. Our retrospective cross-sectional study included 146 men aged between 65–85 years with low BMD (study group) and 121 men with normal BMD (control group). The measurement o…
El retablo de Maese Pedro, de Manuel de Falla: un diálogo entre música, literatura y política
2015
En este trabajo hemos desarrollado el análisis de la ópera "El retablo de maese Pedro" (1923) de Manuel de Falla como lectura del "Quijote" (1605 y 1615) de Cervantes, desde las relaciones que establece el compositor entre música, literatura y política. Se trata, por tanto, de un estudio comparado entre ambas obras, si bien centrado en definir el diálogo que establece el compositor con Miguel de Cervantes. El título de esta tesis doctoral habla de "diálogo" entre música, literatura y política, utilizando el concepto de diálogo desde el sentido gadameriano del término. Es decir, analizaremos "El retablo" como la lectura que hace Manuel de Falla del "Quijote" en la que se establece una comuni…
Developing doctoral students' / researchers’ understanding of the journal peer-review process
2021
A growing body of knowledge has confirmed that the journal peer-review process is an integral part of the scientific publication process and provides demonstrable benefits to journal editors and authors. This study aims to develop doctoral students’ understanding of the journal peer-review process and highlight the most common errors and pitfalls reviewers identify in novice authors’ manuscripts, which could lead to rejection. A qualitative content analysis research method was used to analyse the primary data as experience collected from senior researchers, editors and associate editors. Among the major contributions of this study is an interactive diagram that provides an overview of the j…
Video Scene analysis for a configurable hardware accelerator dedicated to Smart Camera
2012
International audience; According to the Center for Research and Prevention of Injuries report, fall-caused injuries of elderly people in UE- 27 are five times as frequent as other injury causes which reduce considerably their mobility and independence. Among the diverse applications of computer vision systems, object detection and event recognition are of the most prominent related recognition and motion analysis, that is, researchers had the idea to spread it in fall detection. The fall event, extracted automatically from the video scene represents itself, crucial information that can be used to alert emergency. In this context, visual information on the corresponding scene is highly impo…
Aristóteles entre doxografía y biografía: sobre Diógenes Laercio V 31
2019
Se pretende llamar la atención sobre un par de frases que aparecen justo hacia la mitad de la controvertida doxografía de Aristóteles que se puede leer en las Vidas y doctrinas de los filósofos más ilustres de Diógenes Laercio V 31, y que desde luego no corresponden a ningún sistema doxográfico conocido. Como sucede no pocas veces en la obra laerciana, la misma apreciación sobre si el filósofo debe o no enamorarse y contraer matrimonio se repite idéntica en otras doxografías completamente distintas: la cirenaica (DL II 91), la estoica (DL VII 129) y la epicúrea (DL X 118). Cabe plantearse, pues, el origen de este interés, en varias doxografías, por la vida sentimental, podríamos decir, de l…
