No full textIpotesi di valorizzazione internazionale dell’agroalimentare, come volano di sviluppo dell’intero indotto economico. La commistione tra innovazione e tradizione, tra tipicità e tecnologia, tra tecniche avanzate e sistemi originali tradizionali è vista in un contesto dominato dalle spinte mondializzanti di un mercato che, sebbene gli effetti perversi, non rinuncia all’istanza qualitativa
Prendere in mano una foglia. Esperienze educative all'aperto per l'università.
No full textNei contesti educativi di ogni ordine e grado, l’esperienza del “fuori” è oggi sempre più valorizzata, come mostrano le numerose proposte che trovano nell’esterno, in natura o negli spazi aperti delle nostre città, i propri contesti ideali. Questo fermento intercetta anche le esperienze rivolte agli studenti nei più alti gradi di formazione. L'articolo riflette su alcune esperienze realizzate nel contesto milenese con gli studenti della laurea Magistrale in Architettura
L’Ex-Arsenale militare dell’Arcipelago de la Maddalena: Proposta di riuso e di strategie progettuali per il patrimonio militare. Ex-military Arsenal of La Maddalena Archipelago: Proposal of reuse and of design strategies for the military heritage
No full textThe complex of Marinarsen former Military Arsenal, located in La Maddalena Island along the East side of the original military settlement, was born in 1895. Its more recent history sees first the disposal and, in the 2007, the retraining and reuse in order to host the G8 International Summit. In 2009, at almost complete reconstruction, at the cost of about 200 million euro, the G8 Summit is moved to L'Aquila so the facilities entrust to MITA Resort in order to convert it into an extra luxury tourist receptive pole (this operation was unrealized). At the present, the seabed’s failure reclamation and the related court cases do not allow the effective use and leave these facilities in a serious state of disrepair, totally unused. So the Ex-Military Arsenal reflects, in its present neglected state and the contemporary infinite opportunities, an identity’s liminality stage (suspended among a renewed ecological feeling, the development of tourism and the downsizing of military role) with which the whole Archipelago is facing today. The study have conduct to a design proposal of identity declination consistent with the limits that a territory so vital and at the same time fragile imposes and focuses on the reuse of 2 buildings of the complex: the Pavilion of the Sea/ex Carbonaia and the House of the Sea of architect Stefano Boeri. The confrontation with the site have driven to a reflection on the role of architecture and planning and on the limits of the desire to define absolute and unambiguous solutions, as opposed to adapting the project to a system of temporal reality that cannot be uniquely defined but accompanyed in its continuous evolution
The quantitative analysis of OH in vesuvianite: a polarized FTIR and SIMS study
No full textA well-characterized suite of vesuvianite samples from the volcanic ejecta (skarn or syenites) from Latium (Italy) was studied by single-crystal, polarized radiation, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and secondary-ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS). OH-stretching FTIR spectra consist of a rather well-defined triplet of broad bands at higher-frequency (3,700-3,300 cm(-1)) and a very broad composite absorption below 3,300 cm(-1). Measurements with E//c or E perpendicular to c show that all bands are strongly polarized with maximum absorption for E//c. They are in agreement with previous band assignments (Groat et al. Can Mineral 33:609, 1995) to the two O(11)-H(1) and O(10)H(2) groups in the structure. Pleochroic measurements with changing direction of the E vector of the incident radiation show that the orientation of the 0(11)-H(l) dipole is OH(boolean AND)c similar to 35 degrees, in excellent agreement with the neutron data of Lager et al. (Can Mineral 37:763, 1999). A SIMS-based calibration curve at similar to 10% rel. accuracy has been worked out and used as reference for the quantitative analysis of H(2)O in vesuvianite by FTIR. Based on previous SIMS results for silicate minerals (Ottolini and Hawthorne in J Anal At Spectrom 16:1266, 2001; Ottolim et al. in Am Mineral 87:1477, 2002) the SiO(2) and FeO content of the matrix were assumed as the major factors to be considered at a first approximation in the selection of the standards for H. The lack of vesuvianite standards for quantitative SIMS analysis of H(2)O has been here overcome by selecting low-silica elbaite crystals (Ottolini et al. in Am Mineral 87:1477, 2002). The resulting integrated molar absorption FTIR coefficient for vesuvianite is epsilon(i) = 100.000 +/- 2.000 l mol(-1) cm(-2). SIMS data for Li, B, F, Sr, Y, Be, Ba REE, U and Th are also provided in the paper
Classificazione del disagio psicosomatico
No full textLa categoria diagnostica dei disturbi somatoformi, fin dalla sua introduzione nel DSM-III è stata oggetto di numerose critiche. La sua struttura porta implicitamente il clinico a compiere una scelta dicotomica in base al fatto che i sintomi lamentati abbiano una base organica o siano invece espressione di un disagio psicologico, limitando così un approccio biopsicosociale al paziente. La sua sovrapposizione con i disturbi d’ansia e con la depressione, così come l’incertezza in merito all’eziologia dei disturbi somatici lamentati, rendono queste diagnosi poco utili ai clinici e spesso fonte di frustrazione per i pazienti. Per superare gli evidenti limiti di questa categoria diagnostica, negli anni, i maggiori ricercatori nell’ambito della psicosomatica si sono mossi verso una sua ridefinizione. In questo capitolo verrà fatta una rassegna della letteratura per mettere in luce come i Disturbi Somatoformi sono entrati a pieno titolo come diagnosi ufficiali nel DSM-III (APA, 1980), le loro principali caratteristiche, la loro effettiva utilità clinica, le proposte avanzate negli ultimi anni per una loro riformulazione in vista della pubblicazione del DSM-V e il draft che di questo è stato pubblicato nel gennaio 2010

The use of narrative strategies based on fairytales as a novel, integrative ingredient in CBT: A case report
No full textEven though cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is often the recommended treatment for mental health problems, it may present limitations when dealing with existential or moral issues. The aim of this case report is to describe the introduction of narrative techniques based on traditional fairytales in the process of CBT, in order to overcome treatment resistances and to help the patient in dealing with major life crises. In the case presented, the joint use of these two techniques helped the patient to achieve the right self-distance from her problems, allowing her to reach a new, wider perspective and a subjective self-maturation. © 2014 Elsevier Inc
Interoperability and Scalability Trade-offs in Open IoT Platforms
No full textThe Internet of Things is getting momentum and generating new demands over infrastructure, systems, and platforms. One of the main aspects that hamper the large-scale development of IoT-based systems is the lack of interoperability. IoT Platforms aim to solve this issue by providing a uniform interface to access data from heterogeneous sources. However, integrating new protocols and applications can impose additional overhead, hindering the platform's overall performance and scalability. This study provides an insight into the trade-off between interoperability and performance of IoT platforms. First, we present a qualitative analysis of three open-source platforms - FIWARE, ThingsBoard, and Konker - analyzing their interoperability features. Second, we conduct a performance evaluation emulating two IoT-based environments - smart cities and smart health - to understand each platform's scalability, response time, and computer resource usage. Finally, we analyze the possible trade-offs between interoperability features and scalability based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results show that interoperability features do not have a direct impact on the performance of the platform
Interni urbani
No full textThe paper considers the progressive emergence of the cultural concept of urban interior in architecture, focusing especially on the 60s’ theories (L. Kahn, C. Norberg-Schulz, C. De Carli), and on teaching Interior Architecture in Milan in the early 80s, supporting a consciousness for urban furnishing as a problem of conformation and equipment of these spaces. The attention drives also on their material, formal and environmental peculiarity, including: the dimensional scale changes within private interiors, either semi-public and urban, usually quite large in order to accommodate the collective body of the people, real or phantasmal; on the different social and atmospheric conditions of the open urban spaces compared to the covered and enclosed ones. These characteristics affect the annual or seasonal inhabiting and require the use of specific building and finishing materials, influencing also the relationship between architecture and other arts
