Le scuole come infrastruttura territoriale
Il progetto Re-school nasce dalla collaborazione tra Fondazione Agnelli e il Future Urban Legacy Lab del
Politecnico di Torino con un obiettivo preciso: offrire strumenti per la rigenerazione del patrimonio edilizio
della scuola italiana affrontando i temi della sicurezza, dell’ambiente e dell’innovazione didattica. I circa 40.000
edifici che costituiscono l’infrastruttura scolastica italiana sono un’eredità stratificata e capillarmente diffusa
sul territorio nazionale, che richiede un ripensamento anche alla luce dei cambiamenti sociali, demografici e
pedagogici degli ultimi decenni.
In questa pubblicazione vengono riassunti i primi passi del gruppo di ricerca e si propone un metodo di lavoro per esplorare il potenziale di trasformazione del patrimonio dell’edilizia scolastica in Italia.
Il quinto capitolo si concentra sulla scala territoriale: misurazioni a scala regionale attraverso il caso studio
piemontese permettono di contestualizzare e descrivere, tramite proiezioni e indicatori sintetici, le potenzialità degli edifici in relazione alle geografie di cui fanno parte
Semantic Mapping of Landscape Morphologies: Tuning ML/DL Classification Approaches for Airborne LiDAR Data
The interest in the enhancement of innovative solutions in the geospatial data classification domain from integrated aerial methods is rapidly growing. The transition from unstructured to structured information is essential to set up and arrange geodatabases and cognitive systems such as digital twins capable of monitoring territorial, urban, and general conditions of natural and/or anthropized space, predicting future developments, and considering risk prevention. This research is based on the study of classification methods and the consequent segmentation of low-altitude airborne LiDAR data in highly forested areas. In particular, the proposed approaches investigate integrating unsupervised classification methods and supervised Neural Network strategies, starting from unstructured point-based data formats. Furthermore, the research adopts Machine Learning classification methods for geo-morphological analyses derived from DTM datasets. This paper also discusses the results from a comparative perspective, suggesting possible generalization capabilities concerning the case study investigated
HYBRID GIS-BIM APPROACH FOR THE TORINO DIGITAL-TWIN: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A FLOOR-LEVEL 3D CITY GEODATABASE
The research tries to present a preliminary work into geo-spatial management of public administration assets thanks to interoperability of BIM-GIS models, related to urban scale scenarios. The strategy proposed tries to deepen the management, conversion and integration of databases related to public assets and particularly schools building, and related them into city-related geo-databases. The methodology, based on the real scenario of Torino Municipality and their needs addressed in recent studies in collaboration with FULL – Future Urban Legacy Lab from Politecnico di Torino, take advantage from the availability of two test dataset at different scale, with different potential and bottlenecks. The idea of developing a 3D digital twin of Torino actually stop long before the 3D city modelling only, but rather we have to deal with the integration and harmonization of existing databases. These data collections are often coming from different updating and based on non-homogeneous languages and data models. The data are often in table format and managed by different offices and as many management systems. Moreover, recently public administrations as the one of Torino, have increase availability of BIM models, especially for public assets, which need to be known, archived, and localized in a geographic dimension in order to benefit from the real strategic potential of a spatial-enabled facility management platform as Digital Twin. Combining the use of parametric modeler software (Revit) and visual programming language (Dynamo), the proposed methodology tries to elaborate rules on a set of shared language parameters (characterizing the buildings as attributes in both datasets: ID; address; construction; floors; rooms dimensions, use, floor; height; glass surfaces). This is tested as conversion workflow between the Municipality DB and the BIM model. This solution firstly allows the interaction and query between models, and then it proposes open issues once the enriched BIM model is imported into the geographical dimension of the Torino 3D city model Digital Twin (ArcGIS Pro platform), according to LOD standards, and enriched with semantic components from municipality D
Failure to achieve lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) six months after diagnosis is associated with early damage accrual in Caucasian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Background: The aim was to assess the attainability and outcome of the lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) in the early stages of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: LLDAS prevalence was evaluated at 6 (T1) and 18 (T2) months after diagnosis and treatment initiation (T0) in a monocentric cohort of 107 (median disease duration 9.7 months) prospectively followed Caucasian patients with SLE. Reasons for failure to achieve LLDAS were also investigated. Multivariate models were built to identify factors associated with lack of LLDAS achievement and to investigate the relationship between LLDAS and Systemic Lupus International Collaboration Clinics (SLICC)/Damage Index (SDI) accrual. Results: There were 47 (43.9%) patients in LLDAS at T1 and 48 (44.9%) at T2. The most frequent unmet LLDAS criterion was prednisolone dose >7.5 mg/day (83% of patients with no LLDAS at T1). Disease manifestations with the lowest remission rate during follow up were increased anti-double-stranded DNA (persistently present in 85.7% and 67.5% of cases at T1 and T2, respectively), low serum complement fractions (73.2% and 66.3%) and renal abnormalities (46.4% and 28.6%). Renal involvement at T0 was significantly associated with failure to achieve LLDAS both at T1 (OR 7.8, 95% CI 1.4-43.4; p = 0.019) and T2 (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.4-10.6; p = 0.008). Presence of any organ damage (SDI â ¥1) at T2 was significantly associated with lack of LLDAS at T1 (OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.5-16.6; p = 0.009) and older age at diagnosis (OR 1.05 per year, 95% CI 1.01-1.09; p = 0.020). Conclusion: LLDAS is a promising treatment target in the early stages of SLE, being attainable and negatively associated with damage accrual, but it fit poorly to patients with renal involvement
E-learning in instrumentation and measurement courses
E-learning is the one possible evolution of traditional teaching techniques and is becoming a mature technology. Several commercial suites are available to author multimedia courses either to be distributed in physical form (e.g. on CD or DVD) or to be used on-line. However the application of these suites to the instrumentation and measurement courses and in general to courses that require students to learn the use of real devices is difficult and sometime useless. In this paper, some peculiar aspects of the instrumentation and measurement courses are discussed, focusing on the impact of e-learning techniques in laboratory activities. Practical hints coming from the authors' experience in several years of in-the-field trials are reported and discusse
