INTRODUCTION TO WEARABLE HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY
2017
Teknologian nopea kehitys on mahdollistanut ennennäkemättömän pienten tietokoneiden valmistuksen. Puettavat teknologiat käyttävät hyväkseen näitä pieniä puettavia laitteita, joilla on tarkoitus parantaa elämänlaatua. Puettavien teknologialaitteiden määrän kasvun on odotettu saavuttavan miljardin laitteen rajan vuoden 2022 tienoilla. Koska terveydenhuolto hyötyy teknologian kehityksestä, se on oiva kohde puettavan teknologian hyödylliseen käyttöön. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on luoda yleislaatuinen selvitys puettavista teknologioista, niiden antamista mahdollisuuksista ja riskitekijöistä terveydenhuollon alalla. Aiemmat tutkimukset asiasta ovat keskittyneet lähinnä puettavan teknologian …
Material and immaterial culture of the internal minor centres. Studies and researches for the ecological transition of the Madonie inner mountain are…
2022
Presently, the European Union strategies aim at strengthening the rural areas that are characterized by a deep depopulation, people aging, and a weak employment market. In these "marginalized" areas, the urban regeneration process may be assisted by the creation of smart villages, realities that will cooperate and create innovative small towns. The Sicilian inner mountain area, in particular, consists of twenty-one villages - mostly dating back to the Middle Age - that present an attractive localization due to naturalistic, landscape and cultural features, also qualified by a well-preserved geographical area whose main building typological features were not altered during time. This paper p…
Impact of non-programmable distributed generation in an islanded microgrid: the case study of Ustica
2022
The paper presents a systematic analysis of nonprogrammable distributed generation impact in an islanded microgrid Different issues have been analyzed, with a special focus on the most significant ones in a small islanded network. To this aim, the case study of Ustica island was considered A digital twin of the MV network was developed starting from the network topology data and the power measurement acquired in each secondary substation. Simulations were then performed in the hypothesis of a large increment of distributed generation installation into the network. A discussion is then reported on which are the main technical issues to be faced in the considered case study.
Evaluating Gender Differences in Problematic Smartphone Use
2022
Abstract. The Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI) is widely used to measure problematic smartphone use (PSU). Although the SPAI has been translated and validated in different countries, its measurement invariance across gender has received little research attention. This study aimed to examine whether men and women interpreted the Italian version of the SPAI (SPAI-I) similarly and, consequently, whether the observed gender differences in SPAI scores, which have been shown in previous studies, could be due to true differences, rather than to differences in measurement. Six hundred nineteen Italian young adults ( Mage = 22.02 ± 2.63; 55.7% women) took part in the study and completed the SP…
Physical Weaponization of a Smartphone by a Third Party
2022
In the literature and media, the treatment of the dangers and exposures posed by smartphones has generally focused on information security or privacy concerns. There have also been reports of fires, explosions, electric shocks, or loss of phone functionality due to faulty design or manufacture. This article provides an overview of acute physical and physiological dangers of smartphones that could be induced or triggered by a third party. It proposes a categorical discussion framework to describe and define the dangers in terms of attack vectors, effects on the smartphone, harms, and potential culprits/instigators. Counterfeit smartphones are themselves a significant potential threat in this…
El papel de la autoestima y la soledad en el uso problemático del smartphone: diferencias de género
2021
RESUMEN El presente estudio investigó las relaciones entre la autoestima, la soledad y el uso problemático del smartphone y las diferencias de género. La muestra fue no probabilística y estuvo compuesta por 202 participantes (106 hombres y 96 mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 58 años, que completaron las siguientes pruebas: Smartphone Addiction Scale, Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults y Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Se calcularon los estadísticos descriptivos, la prueba U de Mann-Whitney, análisis de correlación bivariados y dos modelos de regresión múltiple jerárquica. Se hallaron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en el uso problemáti…
La gestione dell’inadempimento contrattuale negli smart contract
2022
Il contributo ha l’obiettivo di prospettare soluzioni giuridiche alla gestione delle sopravvenienze contrattuali negli smart contract, ipotesi che sembra in contrasto con la loro rigida struttura, che dà luogo all’automatica esecuzione degli stessi. Strumentale è anche il confronto con il sistema giuridico tedesco, grazie al quale si avvalora la tesi che gli smart contract non sono una nuova tipologia contrattuale, ma una formazione digitale dello stesso, al quale però vanno applicati sia i principi generali del contratto sia soluzioni giuridiche già esistenti, benchè adattati all’ultima evoluzione tecnologica, sempre più incline alla dematerializzazione del contratto.
Dai Bright Green Buildings alle Bright Cities
2019
La crescente urbanizzazione e soprattutto la crescente richiesta di maggiore efficienza nel consumo energetico e nella gestione delle risorse naturali rende sempre più attuale affrontare in modo innovativo e sostenibile la costruzione degli edifici. In questa prospettiva, sono emerse alcune linee di ricerca che si riconducono ai concetti di smart, intelligent, e green/sustainable buildings. Partendo da questa analisi, l’articolo si propone di evidenziare come sia possibile sintetizzare gli aspetti di qualità ambientale e di controllo integrato di un edificio nel concetto di bright green buildings e come, sia quindi necessario delineare un quadro di riferimento concettuale più ampio. Questo …
Integrating vehicle specific power methodology and microsimulation in estimating emissions on urban roundabouts
2021
In this study pollutant emissions were estimated from VSP modal emission rates and the distribution of time spent in each VSP mode obtained from the speed profiles both gathered in the field and simulated in AIMSUN at a sample of urban roundabouts. The versatility of the micro-simulation model for a calibration aimed at improving accuracy of emissions estimates was tested in order to ensure that second-by-second trajectories experienced in the field by a test vehicle through the sampled roundabouts properly reflected the simulated speed profiles. The first results which the thesis will refer, confirmed the feasibility of the smart approach that integrates the use of field-observed and simul…
Hur lär sig gymnasister svenska med hjälp av smarta apparater vid ett gymnasium i mellersta Finland
2016
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää älylaitteiden eli älypuhelimen, tabletin ja kannettavan tietokoneen käyttöä lukiolaisten ruotsin kielen oppimisessa, erityisesti sanaston oppimisessa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kartoittaa millaisissa tilanteissa älylaitteita hyödynnetään ruotsin kielen opiskelussa lukiossa. Lisäksi haluttiin selvittää käyttävätkö lukiolaiset yhä kirjamuotoisia sanakirjoja ja miten lukiolaiset etsivät tietoa tai ottavat selvää sanojen merkityksistä. Tutkimukseen osallistui 26 lukion ensimmäisen vuosikurssin opiskelijaa. Tutkimus toteutettiin kevättalvella 2016 kyselylomakkeen avulla. Kyselylomake koostui sekä monivalintaväittämistä että avoimista kysymyksistä. Tutkimu…
