Introduction to volume
No full textEstimating population, urban and economic growth for Asian and African countries(United Nations 2014) highlights the need to draw up new design approaches that promote the development of original architectural languages appropriate to the local identity and to the new development models. These models support the consolidation and growth of local cultures and economies and at the same time aim at reducing energy consumption, minimizing environmental pollution, increasing the use of renewable sources and effectively responding to water demand.
Therefore, a change of paradigm is required, together with a novel approach to urban (and peri-urban and rural) planning and usage of territories. In this per-spective, a holistic view should influence the entire built environment, i.e. the configuration of goods, the structure and use of land and the way in which basic services—such as energy, water, food and waste treatment—are handled. It is about working to move away from the current model of linear urban metabolism—based on the ‘take-make-dispose’ approach—to a circular one, where the consumption of resources and the waste production are minimized.
The present book revolves around these issues and describes the contribution of the ABC Department of Politecnico di Milano regarding the multidisciplinary research and development (R&D) activities, carried (and being carried) out on these multifaceted issues. It presents a selection of innovative projects carried out in African countries, aiming at tackling two main areas: offering practical solutions to specific necessities and experimenting cost-effective methods and technologies that can be easily applied in order to achieve high-quality results
2022: Adele Talamo Stevens
No full textNAME: Adele Talamo StevensCLASS: 1999SPORT(S): Women\u27s SoccerINDUCTION YEAR: 2022
Adele Talamo Stevens was a two-time National Champion as she helped the Lynn women\u27s soccer team to one of the most successful four-year runs in program history from 1995-98. The Fighting Knights won 81 games during her time, including National Titles in both 1995 and 1998 and the NCAA National Runner-Up in 1996. The \u2798 title was Lynn\u27s first title as a member of the NCAA.
Individually, Talamo Stevens was an NAIA All-American defender in 1995 and she was a three-time All-Region honoree from 1996-98. She was a First Team All-SSC award winner following Lynn\u27s first year as a member of the league in 1998.https://spiral.lynn.edu/athletics_hof/1073/thumbnail.jp
Augmented and Virtual Reality for the promotion of the cultural heritage: analysis of museum mission and visitor experience
No full textThe thesis discusses the role of Augmented and Virtual Reality technology for the promotion of the cultural heritage, considering both the museum mission and the visitor experience. The research framework represents an integration of the Contextual Model of Learning developed in the field of Museum Visitor Studies, and the cultural-historical Activity Theory, so to consider the different human, environmental and technological dimensions that determine the visitor experience. The research includes two studies. The first study is a qualitative investigation performed at the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome, in order to explore the "design for use" and the "design in use", by collecting data through ethnographic methods and analyzing data through the Service Design Thinking methodology. The second study is an investigation of the museum audience performed using an online questionnaire, to complement and validate the results from study 1. The thesis discusses the results related to the technology as engagement factor, the artifacts ecology and the social interaction among visitors
The tension between dialogicality and interobjectivity in cooperative activities
No full textThe context of a vocational e-learning project is used to explore the relation between dialogicality, intersubjectivity, and interobjectivity. By means of narrative analysis, we show that human mediation is sometimes directed outwards (interobjectivity) and sometimes directed inwards (intersubjectivity). Some interactions are closer to the intersubjectivity polarity because participants focus on a shared understanding of the world, whereas others are oriented to the interobjectivity polarity because subjects direct their efforts to what is shared ''out there in the world.'' We claim that this positioning between the two polarities influences the type of interaction occurring between the subjects. Whenever subjects engage in dialogical interactions, where the other's collaboration is sought to redefine a shared understanding of the present state of the activity, the intersubjective polarity is put in place. In contrast, when the other's position takes on an instrumental function, the interobjectivity polarity is chosen

I recenti sviluppi nel campo dell'archeologia molecolare con sentono di eseguire ricostruzioni paleonutrizionali sempre più affidabili analizzando il collagene osseo estratto da reperti umani preistorici, apportando nuovi dati allo studio della sussistenza umana nel passato. Nell'ambito dd presente studio sono stati campionati gli inumati gravettiani di Grotta Paglicci (Rignano Garganico) e Grotta di Santa Maria di Agnano (Ostuni), oltre a reperti faunistici a questi contemporanei, al fine di eseguire analisi degli isotopi del carbonio e dell'azoto su collagene osseo. Queste analisi permettono di determinare l'ecosistema di origine della componente proteica dei cibi consumati e, specificatamente, se questi ultimi fossero in prevalenza terrestri, dulciacquicoli o marini. Inoltre, poiché la composizione isotopica dell'azoto varia in base allivello trofico di un organismo all'interno della catena alimentare, le analisi isotopiche forniscono anche utili indicazioni sull'importanza del consumo carneo. L'estrazione di collagene ben preservato è stata portata a termine con successo nel caso di tutti gli inumati in questione e la datazione al radiocarbonio AMS degli estratti ha confermato la loro attribuzione crono-stratigrafica al gravettiano. Nel complesso le analisi degli isotopi del carbonio e dell'azoto dimostrano come la dieta di questi cacciatori raccoglitori fosse incentrata principalmente sul consumo della carne di erbivori terrestri di taglia medio-grande, in linea con le ricostruzioni archeozoologiche. I valori degli isotopi dell'azoto del collagene osseo, tuttavia, differiscono tra gli individui esaminati. Il presente studio valuta se questa differenza sia legata ai cambiamenti ambientali intercorsi tra le vite dei diversi inumati in questione o se sia dovuta al consumo di risorse acquatiche da parte di alcuni di essi
The old bone project: Quality assurance on radiocarbon dating bone in the 30,000–50,000 age range at the A.E. Lalonde AMS Laboratory (Ottawa, Canada)
No full textA quality control program was undertaken to test the merit of different techniques for the preparation of Late Pleistocene bone at the A.E. Lalonde AMS Laboratory in Ottawa (Canada). The samples studied here include a mammoth bone (S-EVA 2000) previously dated by other labs (Oxford, Kiel, Mannheim) with results ranging between 35,280 and 31,660 14C yr BP (n = 10), a bison bone (S-EVA 2001) previously dated between 47,300 and 40,200 14C yr BP (n = 9; Talamo and Richards, 2011), and our in-house background standard (Hollis Mine Mammoth, HMM). Samples were prepared in four different ways: (1) no ultrafiltration and combustion by elemental analyser (EA); (2) ultrafiltration and EA combustion; (3) no ultrafiltration and quartz tube combustion; (4) ultrafiltration and quartz tube combustion. All four methods produced dates for the S-EVA 2000 bone between 34,530 and 34,080 14C yr BP (n = 7) and consistent stable isotope data (δ13C, δ15N, C:N). Results for the HMM bone ranged from 54,600 to 46,800 14C yr BP. Further, the S-EVA 2001 was prepared without ultrafiltration and combusted on the EA, resulting in a date of 45,010 ± 460 14C yr BP. Finally, since a major challenge with dating Late Pleistocene bone is to decipher between finite and infinite ages, we report results from two years of measurement of the HMM bone, which is prepared with each bone batch. The average age of the HMM is 50,700 ± 3400 14C yr BP (n = 17) when not ultrafiltered, and 48,400 ± 2900 14C yr BP (n = 13) when ultrafiltered. Results from this study do not reinforce or negate the use of ultrafiltration, but it was determined that combustion by EA is preferred as it gives %C and %N values
