Paolo Zermani - Nel Sant'Andrea
No full textThe entrusted theme, in proceeding to the architectural and liturgical adaptation through the construction of the new transept and presbytery, was that of designing a renewed geography for the Basilica of Sant'Andrea in Mantua, in which the space, which had been compromised through a series of temporary interventions from the 19th century to the present, could recover both recognisability and meaning
L’archivio Graziano Arici: un progetto per Venezia?
Get PDFThe Graziano Arici Archive, donated to the Fondazione Querini Stampalia of Venice, is a case study that epitomizes many of the theories proposed on the concept of photographic archives. This paper describes its composition and two of the forms through which the photographer has spread its knowledge: the digital archive created for professional purposes and a Facebook page. It then takes into consideration the issues related to its new status of cultural heritage and argues that it can play an important role as a source of ‘critical’ memory and help to implement studies in the history of photography
Organizzare la formazione sul campo. Metodi, modelli ed esperienze
Get PDFIntroduction. CME has the aim of providing the best possible health care for patients and it is based predominately on lectures or oral presentations; however many studies have demonstrated gaps between real and ideal performance suggesting a lack of effect of CME, at least in its formal methods. Interactive techniques have increased potential for positively changing practice and, on occasion, outcome of patients. We describe a learning methodology which could be named “Workplace-based learning” and particularly the so called “Improvement group” which seems particularly useful in healthcare where changing practice is often necessary for better outcomes.Contribution. The CME provider in the province of Trento uses workplace-based learning and “Improvement group” methodology since 2005. This form includes activities and strategies which tend, though still rigorously monitored, to be more under the control of the learner, it offers opportunities to reflect on the work, and involves learner and teams who are not considered merely recipients of information anymore, thus more aptly producing relevant knowledge and new solutions to problems. New suggestions for CME providers in order to enrich their toolbox about medical education are offered.Conclusions. The high numbers of projects prove that workplace-based learning is feasible; it is also good in method and quality, even if projects were partly left in the hands of workers unspecialized in teaching and learning.Nevertheless the authors don’t want to promote workplace-based learning as unique; the suggestion is to use it next to the other forms, each with its own specificity

Get PDFBayesian networks as a resilience tool for decision-making processes in uncertainty conditions
Get PDFProject management through process technologies has taken on a key role in recent decades as a planning and control tool for building processes. However, a wide divergence between expectations and results emerges from the available literature. The existing tools, behind apparent efficiency, proved to be inadequate, detached from practical reality and unable to handle complexity. The processes that govern the buildings in fact must be related to a turbulent and complex context that leads to uncertainty of process and outcomes. The research carried out aims to strengthen the existing tools, through the development and testing of new tools that can rigorously and objectively govern the risk and the uncertainty of the construction sector
Multi-scale and adaptive-mitigation design methods for climate resilient cities
Get PDFEffectively addressing the issue of climate resilience in urban areas requires the development of innovative design methods that can handle the complexity of the information needed to guide sustainable urban regeneration and retrofitting strategies, as well as to manage the technological and environmental solutions in a multi-scale perspective. The paper presents the methodology developed by the ARC3-2 Urban Planning and Design working group of the Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) and the results of the experimental activities conducted within Studios and Workshops promoted in New York, Paris and Naples by the New York Institute of Technology, the Polytechnic of Milan and the University of Naples Federico II
Influence of soil and soilless agricultural growing system on postharvest quality of three ready-to-use multi-leaf lettuce cultivars
Get PDFIn this study the influence of soil and soilless growing systems (substrate 3:1 v/v perlite:peat) on quality and microbial traits of three multi-leaf lettuce cultivars (two green, ‘Eztoril’ and ‘Ezabel’, and one red, ‘Ezra’) was evaluated at harvest and after 7 and 13 days of storage at 8°C. At harvest, ‘Ezra’ showed a respiration activity and a total phenol content respectively 2-fold and 25% significantly higher than the green cultivars. Soil lettuces resulted more stressed than those grown in soilless, as indicated by their initial content in antioxidants. As for nitrate content, soilless grown lettuces at harvest showed an average concentration higher than soil-grown ones, although values are generally lower than limits imposed by the EU Regulation (No. 1258/2011). During storage, soilless lettuces showed no ammonium accumulation, differently from those cultivated in soil. In addition, lettuce cultivars grown in soilless condition showed unchanged content in the antioxidant activity and total phenols, and lower microbial counts than soil lettuces. Results of the present study showed that soilless growing system can positively affect qualitative and microbiological parameter of lettuces studied, and it can be considered a good soilless growing technique in order to obtain high quality multi-leaf lettuces for ready-to-use industry
