No full textEnhanced Deep Learning SAR Despeckling Networks Based on SAR Assessing Metrics
No full textThe proposal of deep learning (DL) solutions for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image despeckling has recently widespread. Such solutions have been mainly designed from a DL perspective by leveraging the training and validation stage on the use of typical norm-based cost functions. For going beyond the DL perspective, in this letter, we propose an SAR-based validation stage by using SAR assessing metrics in the design and hyperparameter selection of neural networks. In the first phase, SAR assessing metrics may be used only as validation metrics to highlight critical issues that cannot be spotted with standard image-processing quality metrics. In a second phase, the same SAR assessing metrics may be used directly for enhancing the DL solution by addressing specific issues that arose during the previous SAR-based validation stage. To this aim, three different DL SAR despeckling solutions and four different SAR assessing metrics have been considered. The outcome of this analysis shows the importance of including SAR knowledge in the training and validation stages of the design of a DL solution for SAR image despeckling
New Frontiers for Value Co-Creation in the Entertainment Industry
No full textThis paper investigates the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reshaping value co-creation within the entertainment industry. Drawing on the theoretical foundations of Service-Dominant (S-D) logic, customer engagement, and socio-technical frameworks, the study explores how AI integration enhances or hinders customer participation in cocreation processes. Through a qualitative analysis it examines real-world applications of AI, such as personalization engines, generative tools, and predictive analytics. The findings reveal a dual-track model of value co-creation: (1) Human-Machine Co-creation, where AI augments user experience through personalization and immersion; and (2) Customer-Company Co-creation, rooted in emotional bonding and symbolic participation. While AI can deepen engagement and streamline creative processes, intrusive implementations risk alienating users and eroding brand authenticity. Case studies highlight that customer participation thrives when AI is adopted transparently and respectfully to support human creativity. Conversely, overreliance on AI in emotionally or culturally significant domains can damage trust and weaken the brand-fan relationship. The study concludes that effective AI deployment requires ethical design, narrative sensitivity, and strategic alignment with human values. These insights offer practical guidance for marketers, policymakers, and researchers navigating AI-enabled co-creation in the digital economy

Regulating Prosumer Device Security: a Key Priority in Power Grid Protection
No full textProsumers - i.e. end-points with a dual role of producer and consumer - have become a fundamental element of the Power Grid. As their interaction with the infrastructure becomes more and more dynamic, the attack surface increases significantly. Evidence is, demonstrating that prosumer installations can serve as entry points for high-impact attacks, including blackouts, cascading failures, malicious alterations of demand forecasts, and market manipulation in general. Working side by side with industries, including both transmission and distribution operators, we have come to the conclusion that a major cause of this exposure is the lack of technically sound and enforceable security regulations for the "edge-side"of the power infrastructure.In this work, we analyze the European cybersecurity legislation and identify six specific gaps in the existing framework, specifically: 1) prosumers' ambiguous classification despite recognition as "producers"under the Electricity Directive; 2) inadequate monitoring requirements for high-wattage devices; 3) insufficient certification standards for prosumer equipment; 4) risks from extraterritorial cloud management systems; 5) absence of clear accountability frameworks for attacks originating from prosumer devices; 6) and unresolved data protection responsibilities. For each weakness, we provide actionable takeaways, which can be used as a compass for addressing key deficiencies of the current regulation
Application of stabilized contaminated soils as metaconcrete aggregates
No full textWe present an initial study on the use of contaminated soils, effectively treated through a solidification and stabilization (S/S) process that renders them inert, as encapsulated aggregates in the creation of novel metaconcretes. Several mix designs of solidified and stabilized soils are carefully examined, and their physical and mechanical properties are characterized experimentally. These properties are crucial for determining how these treated soils can be effectively incorporated into metaconcretes, a class of materials known for their unique ability to attenuate mechanical waves through resonant structures. The frequency bandgap response of metaconcretes incorporating rubber-coated aggregates made from solidified soils is studied using analytical formulations. The results indicate that the proposed reutilization technique for contaminated soils not only ensures their safety but also offers significant potential for applications in the construction of blast-protective structures and seismic-shielding metamaterials
Rethinking Smart Green Cities for Knowledge-Led Urban Innovation
No full textCities of tomorrow are rethinking on the urban planning, adopting a smart city view to drive green urban innovation and growth. The study aims to elucidate that cities are planning a smart city view to make the city a smart green and knowledge-led urban community, an engine of collaborative spaces for innovation. The study relies on the analysis of one single case study related to the smart city framework as urban planning that aims at designing the future pathway to drive urban innovation. Florence is redesigning the urban planning, adopting a smart city view that supports collaborative approaches in order to make green and wealthy urban spaces and communities. The findings elucidate that cities may identify the smart city framework to make a smart green urban community, leading to the city an engine of social innovation, and developing collaborative pathways that contribute to social innovation and value. The smart city urban planning enables the city to make a smart green community in order to develop knowledge-led urban development and innovation
