«Student Voice» per la valorizzazione delle risorse personali
2017
Negli ultimi dieci anni, un nuovo movimento di opinione in campo educativo si è diffuso in Italia per stimolare i responsabili delle politiche educative e gli insegnanti di ogni ordine e grado dell’istruzione ad ascoltare attentamente le voci, nonché i bisogni e gli interessi di tutti gli studenti. Si tratta del movimento «Student Voice», nato negli anni Novanta nel Regno Unito e diffusosi in alcuni Paesi di area anglofona (USA, Canada, Australia). Questo movimento sostiene la partecipazione attiva e responsabile di tutti gli studenti ai processi formativi che si attivano nelle scuole e nelle università: nello specifico, questa partecipazione si esplica nella didattica in aula, nelle ricerc…
Immunological Aspects of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease: A Focus on Neuro-Oncology and Myasthenia Gravis
2022
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant condition that predisposes affected individuals to a variety of malignant and benign neoplasms. The pathogenetic turning point of this illness is the accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, a transcription factor of several genes involved in oncogenesis, angiogenesis, tissue regeneration, metabolic regulation, hematopoiesis, and inflammatory responses. From an oncological perspective, increased awareness of the molecular pathways underlying this disease is bringing us closer to the development of specific and targeted therapies. Meanwhile, on the surgical side, improved understanding can help to better identify the patients…
Coesione, trasformazione e riuso creativo dello spazio abitativo: un caso di studio sostenibile nel territorio siciliano
2015
Cohesion, reuse and transformation are key concepts of the project of sustainable regeneration of the built environment. They are also essential for the development and control of territory. In a perspective of sustainable regeneration also the transformation and reuse "creative" of depressed urban areas and abandoned buildings, are crucial for the protection of the environment and against the land consumption. For many years the sustainable regeneration is a key concept of Community policies: "It is imperative to reuse urban areas unused, derelict or contaminated. Today these urban areas are in excess of any other period of the industrial urban history. The reuse of land and abandoned buil…

L'attaccamento ai luoghi come modello interpretativo delle relazioni dell'uomo con la cultura. Una ricerca su un campione di ragazzi tunisini della c…
2014
L'attaccamento al luogo è un essenziale bisogno umano in grado di nutrire il senso dell'identità di individui e collettività, a prescindere dai cambiamenti della società. Intento principale in questo lavoro di tesi è quello dell'integrazione, legato al fenomeno dell' intercultura. Il lavoro di tesi è riferito nello specifico nella città di Mazara del Vallo, centro nevralgico di incontro di culture. Ho scelto di indagare la percezione del luogo da parte della popolazione immigrata, coinvolgendo in particolare gli adolescenti che costituiscono la cosiddetta "seconda generazione", e confrontandone le opinioni con quelle espresse dai coetanei autoctoni. L'aspetto più propriamente statistico rig…
A model for multilayered beams undergoing end loads
2013
A formulation for layered beams undergoing end loads, namely axial, shear and bending actions, is developed and presented in this paper. A layer-wise kinematical model is first derived so that the point-wise balance relationships are fulfilled at the layer level. Successively, by enforcing the interface continuity conditions and taking the traction–free conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the laminate into account, the layer-wise kinematical quantities are written in terms of generalized kinematical variables representative of the beam displacements field. The beam problem is then formulated in terms of these generalized variables leading to a model that shows the positive characte…
A Theory of Laminated Beams Subjected to Axial, Bending and Shear Load
2013
A theory of laminated beams subjected to axial, bending and shear loads is presented in this paper. The kinematical model employed to describe the laminated beam displacement field is layer-wise in nature. Moreover it is such that the equilibrium equations and the continuity of the stress components at plies interfaces are satisfied. By using the whole set of interface continuity conditions in conjunction with the traction –free conditions on the beam top and bottom surfaces the layer-wise kinematical quantities are written in terms of the mechanical primary variables pertaining to one layer only, which are then expressed in terms of the laminated generalized displacements. The solution for…
Virtual element method for computational homogenization of composite and heterogeneous materials
2020
Abstract In this study, a two-dimensional multi-region framework, based on the use of the Virtual Element Method (VEM), is developed for computational materials homogenization and applied to different classes of widely employed heterogeneous materials. The VEM has recently emerged as a powerful generalisation of the Finite Element Method capable of dealing with very general polygonal mesh elements, including non-convex or highly distorted elements. Such features are appealing for the treatment of problems whose analysis domains present complex or statistical morphological features, which would generally require careful and time-consuming mesh/data preparation and regularization. In this wor…
Ritz Model for Damage Analysis in Variable Angle Tow Composite Plates
2022
In this work, a Ritz method is developed for progressive damage analysis of multilayered variable angle tow (VAT) composite plates under geometrically non-linear strains. The proposed model adopts a first order shear deformation theory and considers geometric non-linearities through the von Karman assumptions. A meso-modelling approach based on Continuum Damage Mechanics is adopted for analysing the initiation and evolution of damage. The onset of damage is predicted using the Hashin’s criteria. Four damage indices are defined and computed for expressing the degradation of the mechanical properties of the material, both for fibers and matrix under either tension and compression loading. A s…
Discontinuous Galerkin models for composite multilayered shells with higher order kinematics
2021
Composite multilayered shells are widely employed in aerospace, automotive and civil engineering as weight-saving structural components. In multilayered shells, despite its versatility, the interplay between the curved geometry and the properties of the composite layers induces a complex distribution of the mechanical fields, which must be accurately resolved to safely employ generally curved composite shells as load-bearing structures. The problem can be addressed through the two-dimensional shell theories, which are based on suitable assumptions on the behavior of the mechanical fields throughout the thickness of the considered structures and are a viable strategy for reducing the computa…
