Il disegno per la salvaguardia dell’architettura: la Centrale Termoelettrica di Giuseppe Samonà a Trapani

2019

Riflessioni grafiche per salvaguardare l’architettura. Nella Centrale Termoelettrica di Giuseppe Samonà, costruita a Trapani negli anni ’60, il concetto di spazio non inteso come mero luogo di lavoro, le relazioni armoniche che il manufatto instaura con il paesaggio, il linguaggio come esito del dualismo tra involucro e struttura e la lezione dei maestri del ‘900 sono tutti caratteri estrinsecabili attraverso il ridisegno critico. Un atto ermeneutico che tenta di definire il valore dell’edificio e diffonderne la conoscenza, al fine di scongiurarne l’oblio o, ancor peggio, la distruzione. Graphic reflections to safeguard the architecture. In the Thermoelectric Power Plant of Giuseppe Samonà,…

Literacy, Age and Recentness of Education Among Nordic Adults

2017

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between reading literacy and age in an adult population aged 25 to 65 in Nordic countries using PIAAC 2012 data. More specifically, the study examined to what extent variations in the literacy proficiency of adults are explained by age and the recentness of qualifications when variables related to education, occupation, and skill use are controlled. The statistical method was regression analysis. The recentness of education explained only a part of the performance gap between the oldest adults and others. The significance of the length and scope of initial education in developing literacy proficiency overall, is difficult to c…

Students’ Experiences of Reflective Writing as a Tool for Learning in Physiotherapy Education

2015

The purpose of this study was to examine physiotherapy students’ experiences of reflective writing. The students (n = 32) were asked to video record their practical activities at school and at workplaces, and to write reflective journals on their experiences. The research data about students’ experiences of reflective writing were collected by interviewing the students. The data were analyzed phenomenographically. The findings revealed four qualitatively different experiences of reflective writing: 1) writing as a useless task; 2) writing as a tool for deepening understanding; 3) writing as a tool for self-reflection; and 4) writing as a tool for professional development. These categories d…

Validating Habitual and Goal-Directed Decision-Making Performance Online in Healthy Older Adults

2021

Everyday decision-making is supported by a dual-system of control comprised of parallel goal-directed and habitual systems. Over the past decade, the two-stage Markov decision task has become popularized for its ability to dissociate between goal-directed and habitual decision-making. While a handful of studies have implemented decision-making tasks online, only one study has validated the task by comparing in-person and web-based performance on the two-stage task in children and young adults. To date, no study has validated the dissociation of goal-directed and habitual behaviors in older adults online. Here, we implemented and validated a web-based version of the two-stage Markov task usi…

Toward farm-level health management of wind turbine systems: status and scope for improvements

2018

An outline of health management for OWFs has been detailed in this chapter with description of various important elements. The need for such farm level management is explained and benefits are discussed. Key gaps to be filled in order to realize such a system are identified. The proposed health management system is mainly based on the existing knowledge of fleet-level management in the aerospace sector. Health management is much broader than CM; there are a number of aspects beyond the prognostics capabilities that are to be designed in order to arrive at a comprehensive maintenance management scheme. A comprehensive maintenance program that is sensitive to the health of the assets and adap…

Coordinating action in technology-supported shared tasks: Virtual pointing as a situated practice for mobilizing a response

2021

Drawing on recordings of remote screen-based work meetings in Finland, this conversation analytic study investigates interactive properties of mouse cursor movements in technology-mediated shared tasks. The article illustrates how participants rely on features afforded by the input device in ways that divert from its pre-designed functions to accomplish virtual pointing gestures. These gestures serve as an organizational resource in the precursory phase of action, i.e. when a next on-screen action is observably made relevant. In this sequential environment, pointing by means of the tool is a collaborative resource: an embodied practice for sustaining co-orientation and advancing the sequent…

Drawing techniques as tools for the evaluation of scholastic integration and emotional components in primary and secondary school : a cross-sectional…

2023

IntroductionIn the last decades, many studies have emphasized emotion’s role in psycho-educational processes during childhood, such as scholastic integration. Emotional variables in childhood can be assessed through projective graphic techniques, as they allow children to use kinetic components of the draws to communicate emotions.Method1.757 couple of draws were collected, from primary school children (N = 1.270; F = 643 [50.6%]; Age = 8.6; SD = 1.31) and secondary school children (N = 487; F = 220 [45.2%]; Age = 11.72; SD = 0.70) and from eight schools in Sicily and over 60 different classrooms. The Drawn Stories Technique and the Classroom Draw were used to assess children’s current emot…

La ricerca azione con progetto

2021

Sono svolte alcune considerazioni, di carattere metodologico, ricavate dalla riflessione su quelle ricerche empiriche, che sono state svolte negli ultimi quaranta anni nelle scuole italiane, con una doppia connotazione: la collaborazione paritaria tra un ricercatore di didattica e gli insegnanti in servizio e l’intento esplicito di migliorare alcune competenze professionali dei docenti, con il conseguente impianto di innovazioni didattiche nella scuola. E’ giustificata la procedura della ricerca azione con progetto (RAP), che cerca di contemperare l’esigenza di rigorosità della ricerca scientifica e la flessibilità imposta ai piani di ricerca dalla variabilità delle situazioni scolastiche. …
