SCUOLE INNOVATIVE- concorso di idee-proposte ideative premiate e menzionate. Area: Comune di Lentini, progetto secondo classificato
No full textIl progetto propone un nuovo rapporto fra spazio costruito, viabilità e spazio pubblico, divenendo fulcro urbano fruibile dai cittadini e aperto al quartiere. L’impianto volumetrico, semplice e riconoscibile, è formato da tre volumi. Le funzioni di tipo pubblico sono riconoscibili grazie a materiali e forme: la biblioteca, l’auditorium, lo spazio polifunzionale della hall. La biblioteca è rivestita da formelle di ceramica realizzate artigianalmente con materiale riciclato, di colori differenti, sulle quali possono essere impressi i segni della presenza degli studenti e dei cittadini: nomi, disegni, pensieri, slogan. Diventa così una lavagna di comunicazione, mutevole, viva. Un razionale utilizzo delle risorse naturali, avviene attraverso, lo studio di una forma compatta e geometricamente regolare, l'involucro ben isolato termicamente e acusticamente, l'abbattimento dei ponti termici, la luce indiretta e controllata, la ventilazione naturale incrociata, l'utilizzo di fonti di energia rinnovabili, e la raccolta e il riutilizzo delle acque meteoriche per un uso irriguo.The project proposes a new relationship between built space, traffic and public space, becoming an urban hub that can be used by citizens and opened up to the neighborhood. The volumetric system, simple and recognizable, is made up of three volumes. Public functions are recognizable thanks to materials and shapes: the library, the auditorium, the multi-purpose hall space. The library is covered with ceramic tiles handcrafted with recycled material, of different colors, on which the signs of the presence of students and citizens can be imprinted: names, drawings, thoughts, slogans. Thus becomes a communication board, changeable, alive. A rational use of natural resources takes place through the study of a compact and geometrically regular shape, the casing well insulated thermally and acoustically, the elimination of thermal bridges, indirect and controlled light, natural cross-ventilation, use of renewable energy source
Al di là del muro

un workshop internazionale di progettazione dal titolo “Il
Paesaggio dell’archeologia, tre occasioni per fare città”, tenutosi
a Siracusa dal 29 settembre al 8 ottobre 2012 e organizzato dalla
S.D.S. di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Catania.
Il seminario ha affrontato la relazione tra aree archeologiche e
città contemporanea, un tema di grande rilevanza per il futuro
della città.
Siracusa e il suo territorio costituiscono, infatti, un interessante
caso studio per la presenza di testimonianze archeologiche
straordinarie, poco valorizzate e spesso escluse dalla vita urbana
contemporanea.This volume documents the results of the Syracuse Summer Laboratory,
an international design workshop entitled "Il Paesaggio dell'Archeologia,
three occasions to make a city", held in Syracuse from 29 September to
8 October 2012 and organized by S.D.S. of Architecture of the University
of Catania.
The focus of the seminar was the relationship between archaeological
areas and contemporary city, a theme of great importance for the future
of the city. Syracuse and its territory are an interesting case study due
to the presence of extraordinary archaeological evidences, little appreciated
and often excluded from contemporary urban life
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Low-protein diet for chronic kidney disease in the Caserta Local Health Unit: the SaniARP Initiative
No full textINTRODUCTION: In clinical practice, the interest in the use of low-protein food for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease has increased. Currently, these products are not yet contemplated in the essential levels of assistance but the Italian regions deliver, low-protein food discretionally using their own funds. The Campania Region, in 2010, interrupted the distribution of these products. With the exception of Caserta which took up distribution again in 2013. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to describe an initiative put in place by Caserta which has decided to invest in prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A treatment plan for the distribution designed by a team of in-house nephrologists and data are recorded using Saniarp, a web-based platform. RESULTS: In the observation period patients with a prescription of low-protein food products were 869. The mean age was 61 years. The average cost patient / month for the nutritional treatment was 59 Euro. The average cost patient / month for any type of drug was 632 Euro. In particular, 48 Euro for EPO, 277 Euro for Chelate Agents, 16 Euro for antihypertensive therapy. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The policy put in place by the LHU Caserta improved care of kidney patients. The results available to date are still incomplete and do not enable us to clearly assess the benefits both in clinical and economic terms which can be produced by a low-protein diet in kidney patients. In the perspective of third party payers to budget this expense it appears entirely sustainable especially in view of the fact that this dietary treatment might delay the onset of dialysis therapy and lead to lower comorbidity for the patient
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
