El Dret a la Ciutat des de l'exclusió residencial: l'evolució dels barris vulnerables de la Comunitat Valenciana
2019
El derecho a la ciudad fue un concepto empleado por primera vez por Lefebvre (1968) entendido como aquel derecho de la ciudadanía a constituir ciudades que respondan a las necesidades humanas. De este modo, las necesidades de una ciudad no son más que la manifestación expresa de las necesidades colectivas de sus residentes reflejadas en el espacio urbano y comunitario (Caravantes, 2018). A las necesidades colectivas cabe sumársele las necesidades específicas de las personas que forman parte activa e integrante de las ciudades. La concentración de tales necesidades, así como de fenómenos vinculados al ámbito residencial conllevan a la “acumulación de clases desfavorecidas en las ciudades” (S…
Walkscapes. Un’esperienza professionalizzante a Palermo
2020
In seno al dibattito scientifico disciplinare, da alcuni anni ormai, si va sempre più affermando che il campo degli studi urbani, siano essi finalizzati alla sola pratica della conoscenza o ad un progetto di trasformazione, non può più prescindere da un approccio diretto e pensato per il luogo e nel luogo. Il contributo vuole ragionare attraverso delle esperienze, alcune concluse altre ancora in atto, di ricerca-azione su uno degli approcci che si è rivelato più utile e che ha prodotto risultati molto interessanti nel processo di conoscenza e progettazione dello spazio urbano: la camminata di quartiere. Le esperienze sono nate all’interno delle attività didattiche svolte presso il Corso di …
Rotation Forms and Local Hamiltonian Monodromy
2017
International audience; The monodromy of torus bundles associated with completely integrable systems can be computed using geometric techniques (constructing homology cycles) or analytic arguments (computing discontinuities of abelian integrals). In this article, we give a general approach to the computation of monodromy that resembles the analytical one, reducing the problem to the computation of residues of polar 1-forms. We apply our technique to three celebrated examples of systems with monodromy (the champagne bottle, the spherical pendulum, the hydrogen atom) and to the case of non-degenerate focus-focus singularities, re-obtaining the classical results. An advantage of this approach …
The Urban Exposome during Pregnancy and Its Socioeconomic Determinants
2018
Background: The urban exposome is the set of environmental factors that are experienced in the outdoor urban environment and that may influence child development. Objective: The authors’ goal was to describe the urban exposome among European pregnant women and understand its socioeconomic determinants. Methods: Using geographic information systems, remote sensing and spatio-temporal modeling we estimated exposure during pregnancy to 28 environmental indicators in almost 30,000 women from six population-based birth cohorts, in nine urban areas from across Europe. Exposures included meteorological factors, air pollutants, traffic noise, traffic indicators, natural space, the built environment…
Assessing environmental noise exposure: does the size of the neighbourhood matter?
2013
International audience; In environmental epidemiology, studies rely on the quantification of subject'sexposures in a surface defined as the subject exposure area. For outdoor exposure, this area is often considered as the subject's neighbourhood. But, depending on the authors, the size and the nature of this neighbourhood differs, making difficult to compare results. In order to study the impact of the sampling surface on the noise exposure values affected to a subject, a high definition environmental noise model has been builton a middle-sized French city. Outdoor neighbourhood noise indices were computed at 10,394 residential buildings, using eight different sizes of buffers defined by di…

Neighborhood Risk, Parental Socialization Styles, and Adolescent Conduct Problems
2010
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la influencia de los estilos parentales de socialización (autoritario, autorizativo, indulgente y negligente) y el nivel de riesgo percibido en el barrio en tres indicadores de problemas de conducta en la adolescencia (conducta escolar disruptiva, delincuencia y consumo de sustancias). La muestra está compuesta por 1.017 adolescentes, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 17 años. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de cuatro diseños factoriales multivariados revelaron únicamente efectos principales de los estilos parentales y del nivel de riesgo percibido en el barrio. Los adolescentes de padres indulgentes y autorizativos presentaron menores probl…
Exploring Associations of Housing, Relocation, and Active and Healthy Aging in Sweden : Protocol for a Prospective Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study
2021
Background: While housing and neighborhood features have the potential to impact opportunities for active aging, there is a lack of knowledge related to how older people reason regarding their housing situation and how housing and fulfillment of relocation are associated with active and healthy aging. Objective: The objectives of Prospective RELOC-AGE are to study housing choices and relocation and explore effects on active and healthy aging among men and women aged 55 years and older in Sweden considering relocation. Methods: The estimated sample (2800) will include people aged 55 years and older being listed for relocation at either of two housing companies: a local public housing company…
From alternative representations to prospective visions. The administrative subdivisions in Palermo (Italy)
2016
Alternative representations of the city are not only a useful analysis tool, but they also provide elements of a conceived new version of lived space that can contribute to ameliorate the spatial justice of the city. This is even truer for intra-local spaces that are the reference scale for many public participation policies, grass-root projects and activists. In this paper, we present the case of Palermo where the administrative subdivisions of the urban space have been imposed – because of legislation about administrative decentralisation – on the historical and perceived ones. Alternative mapping shows intra-local spaces as places of identity definition and civic engagement. In our paper…
Restricted Neighborhood Search Clustering Revisited: An Evolutionary Computation Perspective
2013
Protein-protein interaction networks have been broadly studied in the last few years, in order to understand the behavior of proteins inside the cell. Proteins interacting with each other often share common biological functions or they participate in the same biological process. Thus, discovering protein complexes made of groups of proteins strictly related, can be useful to predict protein functions. Clustering techniques have been widely employed to detect significative biological complexes. In this paper, we integrate one of the most popular network clustering techniques, namely the Restricted Neighborhood Search Clustering (RNSC), with evolutionary computation. The two cost functions in…
