Fond of Raissa Gourevich-Kroll-De Chirico-Calza (Raissa Lork) in the Library of Humanities, Siena
No full textThe article strives to describe the fond of Raissa Calza (1897–1979) in the Library of Humanities of Siena and documents in it. For this purpose, the author has carried out the following tasks: she has studied Russian and foreign historiography on the issue; she has analyzed sources on the issue; and drawing on these, she has studied the biography of Raisa Calza; she has reviewed the archival fond and analyzed its documents. Having reviewed the historiography, the author comes to the conclusion that the fate of Raisa Calza, her creativity, and scientific work has been poorly studied, especially by Russian historians. There are few articles dedicated to the Calza collection in the Library of Humanities. Studying the sources (personal and business letters, diary, notebooks, memoirs, photographs, scientific works) associated with Raisa and her connections allows to identify their nature and main features and to supplement, clarify, and flesh out the biography of Raissa Calza. These documents are sources on more than everyday life and microhistory. They can be used in studying the history of Russian emigration, of Russian-Italian cultural relations, of archeology. The fate of Raisa Calza is interesting in itself, as a fate of a woman, an individual, amidst historical events of the 20th century. The chronological frameworks of the study coincide with the chronology of Raisa Calza’s documents preserved in the Siena’s library (1900s-1970s). The article includes an overview of the creation of the archive in the Library of Humanities of Siena and that of the Raissa Calza fond, which came into existence when she donated her documents to the Library in 1970s. The article studies the structure of the Raissa Calza fond: boxes I, VI – letters, postcards, telegrams, dairy, history of Gourevitch, Tumarkin and Frenkley families; II-IV – ‘Ostia’ containing materials on the excavations of Antic Ostia; V – various documents, boxes of photos. The author concludes that these sources should be introduces into scientific use. The collection proves that documents on Russian history are available not only in central state archives and private collections, but also in universities. It challenges historians to start researching universities libraries and archives. The article also names other foreign archives containing documents of Raissa Calza.</jats:p
Gramsci, la Rivoluzione russa e la pianificazione linguistica sovietica
No full textGiven the influence the Russian Revolution exerted on Antonio Gramsci’s thought, the Italian philosopher observed and analysed the consequences of the Revolution as well as the possibility of translating the Soviet approach into the contemporary Italian context. Gramsci fol-lowed the policy of linguistic planning in the Soviet Union and focused on the importance of language and its relevance within Marxism. In his Prison Notebooks, by discussing his phi-losophy of praxis, the author stressed the matter of linguistic policy in educational practices and the translatability concerning scientific and philosophic languages, turning his analysis into a philosophy of language
Hippolyta: a framework to enhance open data interpretability and empower citizens
No full textOpen government data initiatives have been rising quickly in recent times. They are encouraged by a wish to democratize data access and knowledge production and enhance cities socially and economically. The hardship of interpreting data can be considered an obstacle to using open government data and more prominent citizen engagement. Technology is crucial to enhance data interpretability and the practical construction of an open government. Nevertheless, the literature needed an instrument to support open government data's interpretability. In this work, our primary goal is to present the definition, implementation, and evaluation of a framework named Hippolyta, which is qualified to help citizens to interpret open government data. Hippolyta first identifies the citizen's necessities using a semantic enrichment module. After this step, the framework conducts the data collection through the same data retrieval module. Finally, Hippolyta creates a graphic visualization through a data visualization module. This study is relevant since it furnishes comprehensive insights into what the open data interpretability concept is composed of and which framework modules can sustain open data interpretation.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog
Cidades inteligentes em foco: uma revisão de aplicativos de transporte cicloviário
No full textO crescimento urbano populacional gera problemas como congestionamentos e escassez de recursos. Estes problemas contribuem para a queda da qualidade de
vida e impactos negativos para o meio ambiente. Nesse contexto, Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação e Cidades Inteligentes surgem para gerar soluções
tecnológicas e computacionais que auxiliam na melhoria dos serviços prestados à população, enquanto contribuem com a sustentabilidade. A Mobilidade Inteligente surge como uma dimensão da Cidade Inteligente e inclui tecnologias e aplicações que auxiliam os serviços de transporte. Dentre estes serviços, se destacam os aplicativos direcionados ao segmento de ciclistas. Nos trabalhos encontrados na literatura, são realizadas descrições de aplicativos cicloviários e comparações de algumas de suas funções. No entanto, poucos trabalhos realizam uma análise comparativa com diversos aplicativos direcionados aos ciclistas. Neste trabalho, apresentamos uma revisão de aplicações cicloviárias. Realizamos uma análise comparativa das funções e a relação destas com os fatores que contribuem para a prática do ciclismo. Assim, filtrando as funções mais relevantes. O nosso objetivo foi encontrar as funcionalidades mais atrativas para os ciclistas urbanos e as limitações do que é oferecido no mercado até o momentoUrban population growth creates problems such as congestion and resource scarcity. These problems contribute to the drop in quality of life and negative impacts on the environment. In this context, Information and Communication Technologies and Smart Cities appear to generate technological and computational solutions that help improve the services provided to the population, while contributing to
sustainability. Intelligent Mobility emerges as a dimension of the Smart City and includes technologies and applications that assist transport services. Among these services, the applications directed to the cyclist segment stand out. In the works found in the literature, descriptions of bicycle applications are made and comparisons of some of their functions. However, few studies carried out a comparative analysis with several applications aimed at cyclists. In this work, we present a review of bicycle applications. We performed a comparative analysis of the functions and their relationship with the factors that contribute to the practice of cycling. Thus, filtering the most relevant functions. Our goal was to find the most attractive features for urban cyclists and the limitations of what is offered in the market58 p

No full textO presente trabalho aborda inteligência artificial, com aplicações no campo da saúde. Esta tecnologia se destaca pela sua inovação, sua capacidade de criar novos mecanismo na medicina e os novos sistema que irão auxiliar na área médica. Com o progresso da medicina, doenças que antes assolavam grandes áreas foram erradicadas ou controladas. O saneamento público avançou, sugerindo que numerosas doenças já podem ser detectadas precocemente, através de uma intervenção rápida e eficaz para deter sua evolução. A saúde é o estado do bem-estar físico, mental, social e moral, seguido de outros fatores em conjunto para que tal situação possa se concretizar. Os avanços da tecnologia eletrônica e da informática, a partir da década de 1960, associou-se no plano industrial a uma evolução paralela da robótica e, a partir daí a tecnologia vem crescendo em todos os campos relacionais de interesse para o homem, dando suporte principalmente na área da saúde. As tecnologias baseadas em inteligência artificial, utilizadas na área da saúde, baseia-se em modelos nosológicos correlacionados com fatores ligados a pacientes, bem como as manifestações clínicas que podem ocorrer. Um dos marcos importantes na medicina foi a criação do principal sistema da aplicação artificial com a globalização, a medicina combinada à tecnologia computacional, dominará o futuro competidor no trabalho

Macroscopic order from reversible and stochastic lattice growth models
Get PDFThesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 1999.Includes bibliographical references (p. 197-209).This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.This thesis advances the understanding of how autonomous microscopic physical processes give rise to macroscopic structure. A unifying theme is the use of physically motivated microscopic models of discrete systems which incorporate the constraints of locality, uniformity, and exact conservation laws. The features studied include: stochastic nonequilibrium fluctuations; use of pseudo-randomness in dynamical simulations; the thermodynamics of pattern formation; recurrence times of finite discrete systems; and computation in physical models. I focus primarily on pattern formation: transitions from a disordered to an ordered macroscopic state. Using an irreversible stochastic model of pattern formation in an open system driven by an external source of noise, I study thin film growth. I focus on the regimes of growth and the average properties of the resulting rough surfaces. I also show that this model couples sensitively to the imperfections of various pseudorandom number generators, resulting in non-stochastic exploration of the accessible state space. Using microscopically reversible models, I explicitly model how macroscopic dissipation can arise. In discrete systems with invertible dynamics entropy cannot decrease, and most such systems approach fully ergodic. Therefore these systems are natural candidates for models of thermodynamic behavior. I construct reversible models of pattern formation by dividing the system in two: the part of primary interest, and a "heat bath". We can observe the exchange of heat, energy, and entropy between the two subsystems, and gain insight into the thermodynamics of self-assembly. I introduce a local, deterministic, microscopically reversible model of cluster growth via aggregation in a closed two-dimensional system. The model has a realistic thermodynamics. When started from a state with low coarse grained entropy the model exhibits an initial regime of rapid nonequilibrium growth followed by a quasistatic regime with a well defined temperature. The growth clusters generated display a rich variety of morphologies. I also show how sequences of conditional aggregation events can be used to implement reusable logic gates and how to simulate any digital logic circuit with this model.by Raissa Michelle D'Souza.Ph.D
JeliMaps: contando histórias com mapas
No full textContar histórias é uma das práticas utilizadas por diferentes sociedades para manterem e difundirem seus costumes, ritos e tradições. Diversos métodos e ferramentas foram empregados no decorrer do tempo para obter esse objetivo, como as pinturas, as músicas e contos. Com o desenvolvimento das ciências cartográficas, os mapas começaram a fazer parte desse conjunto. Diante disso, esse trabalho se propõe a projetar e desenvolver mais uma dessas ferramentas, o JeliMaps. Que, a partir de mapas com elementos interativos, conta histórias com cenas amarrados a uma linha do tempo e traz um jeito diferente de apresentar narrativas. Essa monografia discorre sobre a pesquisa das aplicações ou comunidades cartográficas existentes, um projeto de arquitetura de uma aplicação web, seus possíveis usos e possibilidades. No final, apresentamos um exemplo de uso implementado com a versão final do software.Telling stories is one of the practices used by different societies to maintain and spread their
customs, rites and traditions. Various methods and tools were used over time to achieve
this objective, such as paintings, songs and stories. With the development of cartographic
sciences, maps began to be part of this set. Therefore, this work proposes to design and
develop another of these tools, JeliMaps. Which, based on maps with interactive elements,
tells stories with scenes tied to a timeline and brings a different way of presenting narratives.
This paper discusses a research into existing cartographic applications or communities, an
architectural project for a web application, its possible uses and possibilities. At the end,
we present an example of use implemented with the final version of the software56 f
Crimes cibernéticos: ameaças virtuais e práticas de prevenção
No full textEncobertos pelo anonimato trazido pelo ambiente virtual existem pessoas que tentam de inúmeras formas tornar inseguro uma das maiores ferramentas de conhecimento e acesso a informação do século: a Internet. No decorrer deste trabalho serão
discutidas práticas de prevenção, através da exposição de aplicativos de segurança
e orientação aos usuários de rede mundial de computadores. Tal discussão estará
alicerçada pelos conceitos legais que atualmente se encontram elencados na legislação nacional, na apresentação das ameaças virtuais e seus principais modos de
atuação e por fim nos processos tecnológicos de prevenção. É importante destacar
que o conceito de segurança esperado por pessoas que utilizam o ambiente virtual é
similar ao conceito esperado no mundo real. Não basta estar seguro, é preciso se
sentir seguro. Em um ambiente virtual esta sensação é percebida tanto por usuários
de bem quanto por pessoas com objetivos escusos. Cada vez mais pessoas preferem fazer compras e movimentações bancárias na segurança de suas residências
através da Internet. Da mesma forma, um infrator que comete crimes virtuais não
emprega violência e não corre o risco de sofrê-la durante sua empreitada criminosa
e por isso se sente seguro também. Em outras palavras, o ambiente virtual sempre
será atrativo para todos, portanto deve ser objeto de redobrada atenção dos profissionais da tecnologia da informação. Este trabalho tem por escopo trazer à baila,
não só uma melhor elucidação dos artifícios empregados pelos infratores virtuais,
como também coligir as boas práticas e as técnicas especializadas para que os atores legítimos deste ramo estejam mais focados com o temaCovered by the anonymity brought about by the virtual environment, there are people
who in many ways have become insecure one of the greatest tools of knowledge and
access to information of the century: the Internet. In the course of this work, prevention practices will be discussed, through the exposure of security and guidance applications to the users of the worldwide computer network. This discussion will be
based on the legal concepts that are currently listed in national legislation, on the
presentation of virtual threats and their main modes of action and, finally, on technological prevention processes. It is important to emphasize that the concept of security
expected by people using the virtual environment is similar to the concept expected
in the real world. It is not enough to be safe, you have to feel secure. In a virtual environment this feeling is perceived by both good users and people with obscure purposes. More and more people prefer to shop and bank the security of their homes
through the Internet. Likewise, an offender who commits virtual crimes does not employ violence and does not run the risk of sustaining it during his or her criminal endeavor, and therefore feels secure too. In other words, the virtual environment will
always be attractive to all, so it must be the object of increased attention by information technology professionals. This work aims to bring to light not only a better
elucidation of the devices used by virtual offenders, but also to gather good practices
and specialized techniques so that the legitimate actors of this branch are more focused on the subjec
