Strategie di re-uso compatibile per i borghi montani siciliani del Parco delle Madonie: il caso di Pusterna
2021
Il patrimonio edilizio storico è da sempre oggetto di studio per ogni riqualificazione per rispondere alle nuove esigenze della società. Le attuali trasformazioni devono tenere conto della compatibilità delle nuove esigenze con la conservazione delle testimonianze storiche; particolare attenzione va riservata ai borghi storici che devono essere riconosciuti come dotati di un patrimonio inestimabile. Lo studio mira alla valorizzazione e al recupero di edifici residenziali storici a Pusterna, frazione del borgo medievale di Petralia Sottana, centro minore delle Madonie, in Sicilia, con approccio bioclimatico e strategie passive. L'obiettivo della ricerca è migliorare la qualità della vita nei…
Aspects and issues of daylighting assessment: A review study
2016
Abstract Proper assessment of indoor daylighting conditions can significantly reduce energy consumption due to artificial lighting and can improve indoor visual comfort. This paper gives a critical review of the fundamental aspects of daylighting indices with the aim to provide a broad overview of methods and indices available to assess daylighting from varying points of view. Assessments cover distribution, availability over time and in specific climatic contexts, uniformity in the space, visual comfort issues and the relations between each of these aspects and a proper building and lighting design. A special focus on the assessment of indoor spatial and temporal uniformity is given. An an…
Una critica francofortese al pragmatismo postmoderno di Rorty
2015
L'articolo confronta la proposta pragmatista postmoderna di Rorty con la Scuola di Francoforte sul tema dell'ideologia, sul ruolo della critica e sulla categoria della "sofferenza"
Incidenti occupazionali a rischio biologico nell'Azienda Universitaria Ospedaliera Policlinico di Palermo dal 2005 al 2016: indagine descrittiva
2017
Il rischio biologico (RB) in ambito sanitario è universalmente riconosciuto per tutti gli operatori sanitari (OS) esposti al contatto con materiale biologico o strumenti medici potenzialmente contaminati da agenti biologici. In Italia, le esposizioni a RB negli OS sono molto frequenti e rappresentano la prima causa di infortunio (40% di tutti gli infortuni denunciati). MATERIALI E METODI: Un’indagine descrittiva retrospettiva degli incidenti a RB è stata condotta presso l’A.O.U.P. “P. Giaccone” di Palermo analizzando le schede di segnalazione degli incidenti pervenute presso l’U.O. di Prevenzione e Sorveglianza delle Infezioni Ospedaliere negli anni 2005-2016. RISULTATI: Sono stati registra…
Iron bioavailability in iron-fortified cereal foods: The contribution of in vitro studies
2015
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in humans. Not all dietary ingested iron, heme or nonheme, will be available to absorption and negative imbalance between iron requirements and absorption leads to iron deficiency and/or anemia. The recommended iron values usually are based on the genetic and on diet iron-bioavailability, which can be considered as the principal factor that change among the cultures and influences the distinct levels of recommendation among countries. Dietary changes present practical limitations due to be difficult to change food habits. The iron food fortification is considered more cost effective and economically more attractive than iron s…
Development Problems of the Construction Industry in the Conditions of COVID Crisis
2022
Būvniecības nozarei ir svarīga loma ekonomikā, un nozares aktivitātes ir svarīgas, lai sasniegtu valsts sociāli ekonomiskās attīstības mērķus, nodrošinot infrastruktūru un nodarbinātību. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt būvniecības nozares un konkrētā būvniecības uzņēmuma SIA „Fortis Grupa” attīstības tendences, atklājot problēmas Covid-19 krīzes apstākļos un piedāvāt atklāto problēmu risinājumus. Covid-19 pandēmija ir spēcīgi un paliekoši ietekmējusi sociālekonomisko situāciju globālā mērogā un arī Latvijā. Galvenās būvniecības attīstības problēmas Covid-19 krīzes apstākļos ir darbaspēka trūkums, materiālu cenu un degvielas straujš pieaugums, piegādes ķēžu pārrāvumi, iesaldēti būvniecības projekti …
Daylight-Transfer Systems: Physiological And Energetic Advantages
2004
Daylight-transfer systems are devices designed to operate according to the law of reflection: they collect and transfer it to rooms lacking in light. On the whole, possible applications can deal with rooms which do not communicate directly with the outside. For instance, it can be the case of both basements and large-sized buildings like those devoted to the service industry. In recent years, the considerable attention devoted to sustainable development has prompted planners to reconsider the use of daylighting in architecture. Current research, partly examined in this article, aims at producing a range of systematised products and techniques according to some specific characteristics in or…
A symbolic distributed event detection scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
2016
Due to the possibility of extensive and pervasive deployment of many tiny sensor devices in the area of interest, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) result particularly suitable to detect significant events and to react accordingly in industrial and home scenarios. In this context, fuzzy inference systems for event detection in WSNs have proved to be accurate enough in treating imprecise sensory readings to decrease the number of false alarms. Besides reacting to event occurrences, the whole network may infer more information to enrich the event semantics resulting from reasoning processes carried out on the individual nodes. Contextual knowledge, including spatial and temporal relationships, …
Technical‐economic evaluation of the effectiveness of measures applied to the artificial lighting system of a school
2021
Ensuring optimum interior lighting is a topic of great importance, as this influences not only the well-being of users but also the optimal performance of visual tasks. Lighting can be natural, but if not sufficient, it can be compensated with artificial lighting. This study highlights a methodology for designing a new lighting system that takes into account both technical and economic aspects. The method was applied to an existing school located in southern Italy, in which the electricity consumption is related to the current lighting system. The school is chosen as being representative of the construction type and layout of many local schools. In addition, the coexistence of several visua…
Energy Performance and Indoor Comfort of a 1930s Italian School Building: A case study
2021
Reducing energy consumption in the building tertiary sector, which accounts for a big share of the total energy use (and related CO 2 emissions) at European and Italian level, represent a strong element of safety for the EU-28. On the other hand, it is important to improve the, often overlooked, indoor comfort conditions of Italian schools since they have a significant impact on the well-being, productivity, health and safety of their occupants. Thus, it is appropriate to take into account the combination of both needs, also in light of the climate change scenario, in order to identify adequate improvement measures and justify such economic investment. This paper brings a contribution to th…
