Modeling anti-allergic natural compounds by molecular topology.
2013
Molecular topology has been applied to the search of QSAR models able to identify the anti-allergic activity of a wide group of heterogeneous compounds. Through the linear discriminant analysis and artificial neural networks, correct classification percentages above 85% for both the training set and the test set have been obtained. After carrying out a virtual screening with a natural product library, about thirty compounds with theoretical anti-allergic activity have been selected. Among them, hesperidin, naringin, salinomycin, sorbitol, curcumol, myricitrin, diosmin and kinetin stand out. Some of these compounds have already been referenced as having anti-allergic activity.
In silicoAntibacterial Activity Modeling Based on the TOMOCOMD-CARDD Approach
2015
In the recent times, the race to cope with the increasing multidrug resistance of pathogenic bacteria has lost much of its momentum and health professionals are grasping for solutions to deal with the unprecedented resistance levels. As a result, there is an urgent need for a concerted effort towards the development of new antimicrobial drugs to stay ahead in the fight against the ever adapting bacteria. In the present report, antibacterial classification functions (models) based on the topological molecular computational design-computer aided >rational> drug design (TOMOCOMD-CARDD) atom-based non-stochastic and stochastic bilinear indices are presented. These models were built using the li…
Valoración de la Ecología de Aprendizaje Autorregulado Virtualizada para la Didáctica de las Ciencias de la Naturaleza durante la crisis COVID-19
2021
Los modelos de enseñanza-aprendizaje universitarios están siendo afectados por la crisis originada por la COVID-19. Para atender a esta crisis desencadenada se diseñó de urgencia una propuesta de ecología de aprendizaje autorregulado virtualizada durante el confinamiento de 2020 en la asignatura de Ciencias de la Naturaleza y su Didáctica I del Grado en Maestro de Educación Primaria. En este artículo se describe esta ecología de aprendizaje: los materiales elaborados, los contextos diseñados y la utilización de estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje basadas en el aprendizaje autorregulado, tanto durante la docencia virtual como durante la tutorización del alumnado. El objetivo de este estudio…
TEAM-BASED INNOVATION CONTESTS FOR CROWDSOURCING: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON IDEACONNECTION PLATFORM
2022
Crowdsourcing for innovation contests represents a promising mechanism to access and integrate external ideas. Among various crowdsourcing types, online, team-based contest is one of the most prominent one. The objective of this study is to deepen the understanding of team-based crowdsourcing by exploring specifically the issues that characterise the innovation process of crowdsourcing in a virtual team setting. To empirically pursue this aim, we conducted an interview-based case study leveraging interviews of 106 solvers and 24 facilitators moderating the team of solvers, which have participated in contests through the IdeaConnection crowdsourcing platform. We found that five main issues …
Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage: ViC-CH a Synthesis Between Digital Representation and Heritage Experience
2019
The dissemination possibilities offered by digital technologies provide multiple ways of reading and fruition of the cultural heritage. In order to define a visualization and communication strategy through images, the paper shows some of the results of the ViC-CH Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage workshop, which involved the University of Trento and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The graphic elaborations focused on the Library of the Priest Seminar in Brixen; photomodelling, short films with drone shots and virtual visits have been some of the ways of manipulating the image for the animation and realistic visualization of a cultural heritage not easily accessible to date (The pape…
Metaverse beyond the hype: Multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging challenges, opportunities, and agenda for research, practice and policy
2022
FNEGE 3, HCERES A, ABS 2; International audience; The metaverse has the potential to extend the physical world using augmented and virtual reality technologies allowing users to seamlessly interact within real and simulated environments using avatars and holograms. Virtual environments and immersive games (such as, Second Life, Fortnite, Roblox and VRChat) have been described as antecedents of the metaverse and offer some insight to the potential socio-economic impact of a fully functional persistent cross platform metaverse. Separating the hype and “meta…” rebranding from current reality is difficult, as “big tech” paints a picture of the transformative nature of the metaverse and how it w…
Disegnare il non costruito: la Caserma-Teatro G.I.L. di Luigi Moretti a Piacenza
2021
Come si misura la distanza che intercorre tra noi e un edificio rimasto sulla carta? Questa domanda apparentemente pretestuosa può esserci utile per incardinare delle riflessioni sull’uso del Disegno nello studio dell’architettura non realizzata, soprattutto quella del primo ‘900. Non a caso, nell’approfondire un progetto rimasto tale di Luigi Moretti per la città di Piacenza (la locale “Caserma-Teatro G.I.L.”) si è voluto prioritariamente verificare un metodo che prevede l’applicazione di alcuni degli strumenti propri della Scienza della Rappresentazione. I culmini di questo processo lento di decodifica e successiva esegesi sono stati certamente l’analisi grafica (che ha permesso di discre…
Restitución 3D de las excavaciones realizadas por Lluis Pericot en Cueva de la Cocina (Dos Aguas, Valencia)
2017
Presentamos en esta comunicación el diseño y desarrollo del trabajo de virtualización 3D de las excavaciones en Cueva de la Cocina (Dos Aguas, Valencia) en el marco de un proyecto integral de invest igación cuyo objetivo es dar a conocer las dinámicas socio-ecológicas de los últimos caza-recolectores y el primer neolítico a partir de la lectura de la interesante secuencia proporcionada por este yacimiento (fig. 1). El proyecto contempla el diseño de un programa de trabajo que integra la información arqueo lógica de las diferentes intervenciones realizadas en el lugar en un entorno 3D (García Puchol et al., 2016). Los resultados ofrecidos corresponden a la reconstrucción de las campañas desa…
Virtù e professioni giuridiche: i limiti della deontologia
2022
After analyzing some Italian recent trends on the ethics of legal professions, and comparing this debate with the discussion abroad, it is introduced the difference between deontology and ethics of legal professions, and pros and cons of the approach of virtue ethics are pondered. In the final part, the legal virtues are linked to the virtue of law, the rule of law, in order to show that the success of law as a practice depends also on virtues of legal practitioners.
RESEARCH-BASED REFLECTIONS ABOUT CHARACTER EDUCATION: MYTHS, CHALLENGES AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
2018
At present, youngsters’ character and virtue education issues are widely discussed in Latvia and in English-speaking academic environment. Given the existing criticism of these concepts, the research question was: what are the main misunderstandings about the nature of character and virtue education? After clarifying the neo-Aristotelian understanding of these concepts, recent research in the field of character education and virtues is presented for deconstructing some of the myths related to it, due to conceptual, historical, moral and political misunderstandings (Kristjánsson, 2013). Real problems (historical, methodological and practical) faced by character education programs in mainstre…
