Detection of Points of Interest in a Smart Campus
2019
Understanding users' habits is a critical task in order to develop advanced services, such as personalized recommendation and virtual assistance. In this work, we propose a novel approach to detect Points of Interest visited by users of a campus, by using mobility traces collected through users' smartphones. Our method takes advantage of the intentional and recurrent nature of human movements to build up mobility profiles, and combines different machine learning methods to merge sensory information with the past users' behavior. The proposed approach has been validated on a synthetic dataset and the experimental results show its effectiveness.
MUV – MOBILITY URBAN VALUES
2021
Un gioco digitale per smartphone che promuove la mobilità individuale sostenibile, in cui i cittadini si sfidano in tornei: chi ha abitudini di mobilità più rispettose dell’ambiente vince. I dati raccolti dall’app attraverso processi aperti e partecipati sostengono i processi decisionali e stimolano nuove soluzioni di mobilità. Frutto di un progetto Horizon2020, è il risultato di sette anni di ricerca con più di venti partner internazionali (pubbliche amministrazioni, università, centri di ricerca) ed è stato testato in 21 città del mondo. I cittadini che hanno partecipato alle diverse dinamiche di gioco, oltre ad aver registrato oltre 180.000 chilometri percorsi in modo sostenibile, hanno …
The Role of Sharing Mobility in Contemporary Cities. Legal, Social and Environmental Issues
2020
The emergence of sharing mobility is having a profound impact on urban landscapes. In fact, it is deeply affecting the traditional organization of local services by calling into question how urban transportation is planned, and by redesigning city spaces. Further, by connecting people to shared assets, services or both, sharing mobility is poised to facilitate the more efficient use of underutilized resources, becoming a powerful tool for economic growth and social inclusion, while also contributing to sustainability. That being said, the economic, social and spatial impacts of sharing mobility have not been sufficiently investigated, and so far, the evidence is mixed. From a normative stan…
Du mouvement et de l'immobilité. Montaigne, Pascal et la question de la vie
2021
The essay shows a comparison between Montaigne and Pascal on the theme of life, using the question of movement as a key to reading. From this comparison, Pascal shows a significant closeness to the Greek metaphysical paradigm.
Towards transational virtual study circles: an introduction to the E-report project
2007
E-report is an European Union project aiming at the constitution of a repertory of reference material with regard to the development of innovative methods in the field of e-learning system for educational projects and also for distance learning in VET. The activities of research, experimentation and analysis are combined with the use of ICT with massive use of tutoring activities, learning groups and transnational virtual study circles.
Hombres y espacios. Circulación en la monarquía de España en la primera edad moderna
2021
Since the last decades of the last century, studies on the Spanish monarchy have been enriched by new reflections and interest in the political and social dynamics that until then had been neglected, and thanks to the overcoming of historiographic paradigms linked to national realities. This new approach, which is linked to a dual perspective of local and international dimension, has given great importance to what is considered one of the aspects that characterized the Spanish Monarchy of the modern age: circulation, mobility and the transfer of knowledge. Despite the complex territorial articulation and wide geographical distances, the multiple "spaces" that attended the composition of the…
Designing a Dynamic Performance Management System to support Local Health Authorities’ Managers in facing patients mobility

Designing a Dynamic Performance Management System to outline patients mobility policies
2015
In the Italian health care service, both public and private providers operate through the coordination of Local Health Authorities (Lhas). Such authorities, together with the regional government, are in charge to make sure citizens can access locally to a predefined health care service level. However, patients are free to move from one region to another to receive the requested health care service. This phenomenon is recognised as patients mobility. Palm and Glinos [2010] identified some of the reasons why patients decide to seek care elsewhere, such as the specific situation of the patient, the medical need and the availability (or not) of the care service at home. A patient treated in a r…
Does family of origin make a difference in occupational outcomes?
2022
Disadvantages faced by parents adversely affect their children’s chances of success in the labour market. We study the influence of intergenerational transmission of parental socio-economic background on the educational attainment and occupational outcome of children, also considering gender differences. To tackle such a complex system of relationships across the outcome variables (both exogenous and endogenous), we adopt a path analysis model. In particular, we study the intergenerational transmission of disadvantage using the innovative and rich AD SILC database, which shows the evolution of occupational outcomes over eight years (measured by wages in 2011 and 2018). Our findings indicate…
Monitoring event attendance using a combination of traditional and advanced surveying tools
2018
This paper will describe the research stages and tools used for monitoring participants’ attendance at the European Researchers’ Night, held in Palermo in September 2017. A combination of traditional survey instruments and new technologies was effected in order to analyse participants’ behaviour during the event. The results derived from these different data sources were also integrated and analysed in order to evaluate the success of the event from social and economic points of view. Data relating to participants’ mobility during the event will be described and clusters of participants proposed, based on their mobility behaviour.
