No full textThrough a selection the work by R Bernabei was chosen to feature in the following book: Narrative Jewelry by M Fenn. Her piece of jewellery is one of the pieces made during the two participatory projects with community in Leicestershire in 2016. The first project was 'Loughborough Jewels' with local community. Its aim was to imbue participants' memories in wearable artifacts. The project was commissioned by RADAR arts centre and supported by Charnwood Arts centre. The second project was with elderly participants at Cedar Home care in Rothley. In this investigation the emotionally and mnemonic jewellery was introduced to explore possibilities for jewellery to act an an aid for well-being

Correlation between tree-ring series as a dendroprovenancing evaluation tool
No full textThe use of correlation between tree-ring series as a proximity indicator in dendroprovenance analyses is often questioned. High correlations may occur between series at a great distance, but conversely, low correlations may occur between series that are close to each other. This discrepancy has prompted the exploration of alternative dendroprovenancing methods, but many of them have proven to be unreliable or impractical. In this study, approximately 12,000 geolocalised tree-ring series from the three main Alpine conifers—spruce, larch, and fir—were analysed to investigate the extent to which correlation analysis can be used as a dendroprovenance tool. The results clearly indicate a significant increase of correlation at low distance and validate the proposed correlation approach. The large dataset also made it possible to develop a simplified quantile regression model that could be used to estimate distance in kilometres based on correlation values between the tree-ring series. Spruce exhibited the most promising results, which is attributed in part to the extensive dataset available, while there were challenges with fir in accurately determining distances between sites. Finally, the study also evaluated the impact of altitude on distance estimation and showed how this environmental factor influences variations in dendroprovenance analyse

Adaptive Automation: status of research and future challenge
No full textAutomation modifies workplaces, tools, and production activities, leading to new modalities of human-machine interaction. Traditionally, the allocation of functions in automated systems is static over time, i.e., functions are assigned to humans or machines. Adaptive Automation (AA) makes functions allocation dynamic, resulting from system conditions, performance, and human attributes to face emerging or unpredictable contingencies, and to cope with traditional automation challenges and limits. Tracing the evolutionary stages of the topic, the paper provides an extensive literature review. First, the review details the current definition of AA, the starting motivations for AA, and the temporal evolution of the topic considering the pioneers’ theories. Then, the paper presents the design elements involved in AA systems, i.e., the Level Of Automation (LOA), the Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and the different approaches than can guide the adaptive shift. Finally, the practical applications of AA in manufacturing are reported. In such a way, the research offers the state of the art of the topic, providing the main distinguishing features between static and AA, also outlining the open challenges and the future developments in manufacturing
