Seeing with the visual cortex
1984
A short analysis of the input-output organization of the primary visual cortical areas in the cat and monkey is followed by a description of the salient microelectrophysiological properties of retino-geniculo-cortical system neurons. It is concluded that a strict hierarchical model of cortical processing of visual information is no longer tenable.
L'expérience : objet académique et réalités managériales
2021
Le champ de l'expérience connaît depuis une quarantaine d'années une véritable dynamique de recherche, un grand foisonnement et des applications managériales nombreuses. Les contextes hybrides combinant des contextes expérientiels physiques et numériques expliquent en partie ce constat car ils rendent indispensable une meilleure compréhension de ce que les consommateurs vivent au fil de leurs parcours client et de ce que les entreprises et les marques doivent ou peuvent piloter. L'expérience est à la fois une clé de lecture du vécu des individus (consommateur, collaborateur ou citoyen) et une unité d'offre qu'entendent délivrer les entreprises, les marques et les organisations. C'est aussi …
Rotterdam Smart Delta City
2017
Coniugando la pianificazione e l’urban design con una gestione intelligente delle acque, investendo sul capitale umano e associando alla trasformazione dello spazio e del paesaggio urbano l’utilizzo di nuove tecnologie, applicazioni e serious game, Rotterdam interpreta il paradigma della smart and green city come opportunità per rendere la città più attrattiva e resiliente, creando occasioni di sviluppo economico, empowerment sociale e miglioramento ambientale. Il contributo fa parte della sezione Human Smart City dell'Atlante Re-cycle Italy, che raccoglie le riflessioni e gli esiti del PRIN Re-cycle Italy.
Biografic turning point in lifetime of individuals living in degraded contexts. The role of resilience.
2020
In the course of their lives all people experience events such as the loss of a parent, a child, job or sometimes violence, after which life is no longer the same. In these moments the regular, repetitive and comforting course of life changes because the event is the turning point that changes the direction of the subject's lifetime. The paper is focused on a study of 60 cases in which resilience intervenes in the biographies of individuals, living in conditions of socio-spatial marginality and high social vulnerability, to restore the existential imbalance of a biographical discontinuity represented by a traumatic event. The problem of the research focuses on understanding the role of resi…
Una ipotesi di green design per la “valori-naturazione” di Caltabellotta
2020
Questo studio individua nella “valori-naturazione” del centro di Caltabellotta un campo privilegiato di sperimentazione architettonica e tecnologica. La ricerca approfondisce l’uso dell’involucro verde come sistema di possibile caratterizzazione dell’immagine urbana volto anche a riequilibrare le discontinuità causate da fenomeni di degrado edilizio. Nei vuoti urbani del borgo vengono “innestate” nuove centralità spaziali che faranno da connettori di sviluppo ecologico affinché Caltabellotta possa candidarsi a green city della Provincia di Agrigento, esplorando scenari ancora poco praticati in questo contesto. In tale ottica si studiano le specificità del tetto giardino e del giardino verti…
III Rapporto Migrazioni in Sicilia 2015
2016
Con la terza edizione del rapporto “Migrazioni in Sicilia 2015”, si è voluto analizzare il fenomeno delle migrazioni in Sicilia facendo riferimento agli ultimi dati messi a disposizione dalle varie fonti utilizzate. Nei casi, pochi per la verità, in cui ci si è riferiti a periodi precedenti, lo si è fatto con la consapevolezza che i dati possano comunque essere utili sia ad analisi di aspetti del fenomeno migratorio non trattati in precedenza sia a successivi approfondimenti. In questo rapporto, rispetto alle edizioni precedenti, si introduce una novità: alle sezioni sostanzialmente descrittive del fenomeno migratorio in Sicilia, si accompagnano diversi box di approfondimento su temi specif…
What does insurance purchase behaviour say about risks?
2015
Purpose – This paper aims to explore the world of insurances as rites of adaptancy and resiliency before risk and disasters. The research on risks, both perceived and real, has become a frequent theme of academic research in the recent past. Design/methodology/approach – The information given by the superintendencia de Seguros de Buenos Aires involves 100 per cent of the insurances companies of Argentina. The reading of insurance demands corresponds with a new method in the studies of risks. Findings – Using advanced probability theory and quantitative techniques, risk management researchers have been able to construct sophisticated mathematical-statistical models of risk. Research limitat…
Assessing supply chain risks in the automotive industry through a modified MCDM-based FMECA
2020
Supply chains are complex networks that receive assiduous attention in the literature. Like any complex network, a supply chain is subject to a wide variety of risks that can result in significant economic losses and negative impacts in terms of image and prestige for companies. In circumstances of aggressive competition among companies, effective management of supply chain risks (SCRs) is crucial, and is currently a very active field of research. Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) has been recently extended to SCR identification and prioritization, aiming at reducing potential losses caused by lack of risk control. This article has a twofold objective. First, SCR assess…
The risk management in the international contracts of marine renewable energy : focus on offshore wind farms
2022
At a time when climate change is becoming the main concern, the renewable energy sector is developing extremely rapidly. In order to add other sources to the existing ones and to increase electricity production while ensuring its stability, the sea has quickly been considered as an attractive alternative. However, the creation of a new industry is a major challenge and marine renewable energy projects are very expensive and risky. The concept of risk was created specifically regarding the management of human activities at sea. The example of offshore wind energy allows us to go back to the origins of the notion of risk by considering it from the point of view of the company, and to analyse …
The paradox of the alien plant Leucaena leucocephala subsp. glabrata (Rose) S. Zárate in Sicily: another threat for the native flora or a valuable re…
2020
With this contribution, an updated picture of the rapid expansion of Leucaena leucocephala subsp. glabrata in Sicily is provided. On the one hand, this is a quite worrying sign, as this woody species figures among the world’s worst invasive alien species. On the other hand, the species shows interesting potential for production purposes (for wood, biomass and for feeding livestock), also considering its nitrogen fixation ability. Consequently, the two opposite options to cope with this species, i.e. cultivation and control/eradication, should accurately take into account the possible uses as well as its invasive behaviou.
