Reconstruction of urban sites from photos
2019
Abstract. This paper reports the results of an experiment that aims at the virtual reconstruction of a urban site that has been partially reshaped during the 20th century; the reconstruction process is based on period photos. The chosen case study is the eldest harbour of Palermo, named ‘Cala’; the site was bombed during World War II and new buildings took the place of the ruined ones. Two period photos, taken from an aircraft, document the buildings that were destroyed by bombs. The 3D restitution process used the ‘inverse’ projection from period photos (2D) to the virtual space (3D) ; the first step was therefore addressed to the calculation of the inner parameters (focal length, principa…

The Effect of an enriched sport program on children's executive functions: the ESA program
2020
Purpose: The effects of physical exercise on executive functions (EFs) are well documented. EFs are involved in daily activities, and their development determines the quality of people’s future life, both in terms of mental health and quality of life. The purpose of the current paper is to evaluate the effects of a physical education program, elaborated within the Enriched Sports Activity Program (ESA Program), an Erasmus + Project, on EFs, namely, visuospatial working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and task switching. Method: Data were collected on November 2017 (t1) and May 2018 (t2). At t1, a sample of 357 children from four European countries (Italy, Germany, Lithuan…

Regional development of Romania – a premise for better project financing
2018
The article approaches important aspects regarding the regional development process in Romania in direct correlation with the European Union views and directives in this field. This paper argues that regionalization implies a new reorganization of Romania in view of a balanced development and to increase the absorption of European Funds, which consequently engages regional development, the development of local communities and the decentralization of public administration. Furthermore, in this paper we present the consistency issue concerning the request for territorial- administrative development in Romania, as it originates from the strategic documents, namely the "National Plan of Governa…
The Strategy of Harm Reduction in Work with People Addicted to Drugs and Alcohol
2016
The policy of EU Member States, the United States, South America and Australia is heading towards the restructuring of the support system for addicts by implementing actions meant to limit the health and social damages resulting from the use of psychoactive substances. Many countries offer access to low-threshold programmes whereby the participant is not forced to maintain abstinence or submit to the excessive rules and obligations of a rehabilitation center. Harm reduction is a philosophy based on pragmatic and realistic goals of working with addicts and users. It assumes that each change, even the smallest, is important and should be supported. Harm reduction programmes usually function i…
Modernities in the Americas: from the avant-gardes to nowadays
2018
Revisiting today the question of modernity in literature, in the arts, in society and politics means using the plural. And choosing the plural means not restricting the scope to the multivocal, but often ambiguous, notion of modernism. Often enrolled to designate a cultural imagination of modernity, the term is under duress when it comes to accounting for divergent ways of apprehending the relationship to time, history and culture. “Modernity is not a movement like dada or like imagism. If li...
Conceptualizing innovation capabilities: A contingency perspective
2017
Empirical research has confirmed that a positive relationship exists between the implementation of innovation activities and the future performance of organizations. Firms utilize resources and capabilities to develop innovations in the form of new products, services or processes. Some firms prove to be better at reproducing innovation success than others, and the capacity to do so is referred to as innovation capability. However, the term innovation capability is ambiguously treated in extant literature. There are several different definitions of the concept and the distinction between innovation capabilities and other types of capabilities, such as dynamic capabilities, is neither explici…
Nuevas formas de llevar una ópera al teatro. Un caso de estudio. La flauta mágica de la compañía 1927 y de Kosky: animación 2d, nuevas tecnologías di…
2017
La ópera, un género que a menudo se asocia al pasado, está más viva que nunca. Gracias a la aportación de directores y experimentadores provenientes del teatro, la ópera se ha convertido en uno de los campos por excelencia para la experimentación contemporánea, sobre todo en relación con el uso de nuevas tecnologías. Una verdadera paradoja. Un ejemplo es la puesta en escena de La flauta mágica de Mozart de la Komische Oper de Berlín, concebida y realizada por la compañía británica 1927 y por el director australiano Barrie Kosky en 2012. Es una representación atípica y extraña que utiliza las nuevas tecnologías del “video project mapping” y, al mismo tiempo, las técnicas de animación 2D —dib…
