IL VALORE DEL RIUSO DELLE ANTICHE STRUTTURE CARCERARIE: IL CARCERE AUSTRIACO DI BUSTO ARSIZIO (VA)
No full textAmong the most complicated buildings to restore, prisons play a key role. If some international historically famous prisons are excluded, the topic of their restoration is rather recent. In some cases there is the will to cancel the strong impact of these buildings and, in other cases, it is less expensive demolishing them instead of reusing them, also because often too small and not easily modifiable. And this is the case of buildings born with this function, compared to older buildings built with a previous function, like historic disused monasteries. The paper presents the case of Busto Arsizio (VA), Italy, where a small compact beautiful prison realized in half XIX century, was disused in the 80’s of the XX century. The building was never reused and still presents the original shape, the cells, the massive structures and the façade in rather good conditions. The chance to reuse it is now favorable, because the municipality recently discovered the value of this construction, maybe also thanks to a teaching experience with foreign students, that proposed different new ideas of the building reuse, always highlighting both the value of the original construction and of preserving the human proofs of the prisoners

A multiple regression imputation method with application to sensitivity analysis under intermittent missingness
No full textMissing data is a common problem in general applied studies, and specially in clinical trials. For implementing sensitivity analysis, several multiple imputation methods exist, like sequential imputation, which restricts to monotone missingness, and Bayesian, where the imputation and analysis models differ, entailing overestimation of variance. Also, full conditional specification provides a conditional interpretation of sensitivity parameters, requiring further calibration to get the desired marginal interpretation. We propose in this paper a multiple imputation procedure, based on a multivariate linear regression model, which keeps compatibility in sensitivity analysis under intermittent missingness, providing a marginal interpretation of the elicited parameters. Simulation studies show that the method behaves well with longitudinal data and remains robust under demanding constraints. We conclude the possibility of situations not covered by the existing methods and well suited for our proposal, which allows more efficient handling of a given multivariate linear regression structure. Its use is illustrated in a real case study, where a sensitivity analysis is accomplished.Financial support from the VLIR-UOS JOINT-project "A Cuban-Flemish Training and Research Program in Data Science and Big Data Analysis" (2018-2020) is gratefully acknowledged.Uranga, R (corresponding author), Natl Ctr Clin Trials, Dept Data Management & Stat, 5th A & 60 St, Havana 11300, Cuba.
