Design Experiences in Pandemic Times. Constructing and Enhancing the Memory of the Present in Museums.
No full textDuring the Coronavirus pandemic, museums were beset with serious difficulties. Forced to close for an indeterminate length of time, museum professionals and designers faced real challenges, which they addressed and used to seek to expand their offer, providing and implementing services to involve the public remotely. During the period under observation, museums, which have always guarded and enhanced the historicized heritage, extended to the present time their research into the tangible and intangible records of man and his environment and their acquisition, conservation, communication, and exhibition. Through the critical analysis of case studies, this paper intends to examine the museum’s role in constructing and enhancing memory tied to the present time – articulated in activ- ities that refer to calls to action, curatorial projects, and the production of records – open- ing new scenarios for design. The configuration of a synthesis model made it possible to develop a matrix of elements that can be variably grouped to visualize the complexity and peculiarity of the actions undertaken by museums
MEET. Un percorso espositivo interattivo tra co-design e valorizzazione del territorio/ MEET. An interactive exhibition itinerary between co-design and enhancement of the territory
No full textIn un contesto di trasformazioni socio-economiche e culturali la diffusione di tecnologie digitali ha avuto un ruolo significativo fornendo uno strumento orizzontale in grado di sti- molare la condivisione, semplificare la comunicazione e affiancare l’esperienza fisica di un luogo. Anche musei e percorsi espositivi, coniugando dimensione fisica e digitale, divengono luoghi di ibridazione. Il paper intende presentare un programma di ricerca che indaga l’ambito del design per i Beni Culturali. MEET (Multifaceted Experiences for Enhancing Territories) è un format di progetto collaborativo che coinvolge Istituzioni, professionisti e cittadini nella realizzazione di un percorso espositivo interattivo dedicato alla valorizzazione del Patrimonio culturale locale attraverso processi di co-design.In a context of socio-economic and cultural transformations, the diffusion of digital technologies has played a significant role by providing a horizontal tool that can stimu- late sharing, simplify communication, and support the physical experience of a place. Even museums and exhibition itineraries, combining physical and digital dimensions, become places of hybridisation. This paper presents a research programme that in- vestigates the field of design for Cultural Heritage. MEET (Multifaceted Experiences for Enhancing Territories) is a collaborative project format that involves institutions, profes- sionals, and citizens in the realisation of an interactive exhibition itinerary dedicated to the enhancement of the local Cultural Heritage through co-design processes
Seller reputation, distribution and intention to purchase refurbished products
No full textThe effectiveness of a closed-loop supply chain strategy for a tenable circular economy heavily depends on consumers' willingness to purchase such products. However, research has documented that consumers are skeptical about these products, thus making of interest the understanding of consumers' attitude and purchase intention. The literature provides limited evidence about the role of specific contextual marketing stimuli in shaping consumers' intention to purchase products derived from a closed-loop supply chain approach. This study aims to fill this important gap by examining the effect of the importance paid by consumers to seller reputation and distribution on consumers׳ intention to purchase a particular type of these products, i.e. refurbished smartphones. To do so, this study combines insights deriving from the stimulus response model and prospect theory. Findings from structural equation modeling indicate that the importance paid by consumers to seller reputation and distribution are significantly related to perceived value and risk, which in turn affect attitude and the intention to purchase refurbished products. In addition, findings highlight the centrality of the attitude construct in the model. The implications of these results can be useful for closed-loop supply chain managers, remanufacturers, and sellers, as they can help to improve their marketing initiatives and policies. Eventually, our theoretical model can also help scholars to improve the understanding of consumers’ mental processes when evaluating refurbished products

No full textLo scenario internazionale restituisce una situazione allarmante sulle condizionidell’infanzia nei contesti di emergenza umanitaria, determinati da catastrofinaturali, guerre e pandemie. Per molti anni le dimensioni di emergenza,educazione ed inclusione apparivano inconciliabili, fino a quando le politichedi cooperazione internazionale hanno iniziato ad adottare un approccioche si avvale dell’educazione e dell’inclusione come strumenti e dimensioniirrinunciabili nei contesti di crisi per la tutela dei diritti dell’infanzia. Le difficoltàpresenti in questo tipo di intervento sono numerose ed eterogeneeaprendo la riflessione pedagogica a domande fondamentali sul significato diun intervento educativo durante una crisi umanitaria, sulla possibilità di individuaregli assi pedagogici da adottare sulla base del contesto sociale culturalee politico ed infine, sull’importanza di garantire un approccio inclusivo. Lariflessione si snoda attraverso l’analisi dell’approccio didattico inclusivo“Diamond Kite Project” (DkiteP) all’interno della Striscia di Gaza, avvalendosidelle testimonianze di tre attori chiave intervenuti a vario titolo nel processodi ideazione, formazione e implementazione dello strumento in ambitoscolastico. L’analisi in merito al DkiteP ha messo in evidenza alcune questionirilevanti connesse alla cornice teorica sull’Education in Emergencies(EiE): prima fra tutte, la sfida dell’inclusione scolastica nei contesti di emergenzasi conferma tanto complessa quanto necessaria

No full textRFID systems optimisation through the use of a new RFID network planning algorithm to support the design of receiving gates
No full textRadio frequency identification (RFID) is a widespread technology used in several different industries. One of its common use cases in logistics is the automation of goods receipt. RFID gates are often deployed, to automatically detect tagged items or load carriers during their passage through the goods receipt gate. At present, however, the design of RFID gates is often based on estimations, and their commissioning is mostly approached via trial and error. Even if the RFID network planning problem is known in the literature, existing algorithms cannot be applied to the design of RFID gates due to some limitations. In this paper, we propose a new evolutionary RFID network planning algorithm to design RFID gates optimally. The objective of our algorithm is to minimise the number of antennas and to adjust their mounting heights and angles. The algorithm ensures a tag coverage of at least 99%, prevents reflections on the ground, and can be used in the future as a standard for planning and commissioning RFID-enabled goods receipt gates. To demonstrate the applicability of our algorithm, we deployed it in a case study involving logistics of the automotive sector. The results of the deployment confirm the quality of our approach, as the RFID gate optimised by the algorithm deployed 4 antennas, with a vertical coverage rate of 99.96%, an horizontal coverage rate of 89.66%, and very interesting values of other evaluation functions, namely load balance and overlapping rate
