No full textDocumenti
No full textA partire dalla relazione tra storia ed antropologia, il saggio esplora le varie modalità di analisi dei documenti d'archivio per la ricerca etnografica. Attraverso alcuni esempi etnografici, gli autori mostrano come l'uso di documenti cartacei possa risultare particolarmente utile all'indagine antropologica, ed anche come il metodo etnografico consenta di interrogare le carte d'archivio in modo differente rispetto ad altre discipline
Introduzione. Minatori nelle Alpi: prospettive storico-antropologiche
No full textThe first objective of this book is to shed light on the cultural side of an activity such as mining which in the Alps, not unlike in the rest of the world, has mainly been studied from an economic or technological point of view. Bringing out the distinctive characteristics and the many facets of mining culture is also necessary in order to establish a valid comparison, with explanatory paradigms of the economy that make it possible to assess what in the Alpine area has been the “weight” of cultural factors in guiding the choices and the lives of the miners. A second objective is to verify to what extent the mining cultures of the Alps are historically de ned, or have persisted in the long term, if certain cultural traits are locally speci c or if they have a wider spread throughout the Alps; or, indeed, if they are related to cultural models that are even more di used and established for mining populations from other parts of the world, including the more distant ones
Two-year infant neurodevelopmental outcome after single or multiple antenatal courses of corticosteroids to prevent complications of prematurity.
No full textObjective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of exposure to multiple antenatal steroid courses on short-term neonatal morbidity and 2-year infant neurodevelopmental outcome.
Study design: This was a prospective observational study of 201 preterm singleton infants who received 1 or more courses of corticosteroids to prevent complications of prematurity and weredelivered between 24 and 34 weeks’ gestation at a single institution. Neurodevelopmental outcome
of the infants was evaluated at 2 years corrected age. Logistic regression analysis was used to perform multivariate analyses of associations and trends.
Results: One hundred thirty-eight subjects (68.7%) received at least 1 complete course of betamethasone, whereas 63 (31.3%) patients were treated with dexamethasone. The prevalence of multiple steroid doses exposure was 26.8% (37/138) in betamethasone and 52.4% (33/63) in
dexamethasone group. The prevalence of infant leukomalacia, including both prolonged echogenicity and cystic leukomalacia, was 25.9% (34/131) after a complete corticosteroid course, 40% (6/15) after 1, 42.3% (12/28) after 2, and 44.4% (12/27) after more than 2 additional courses, respectively (adjusted P for trend=.011). In the same categories of steroid exposure, the corresponding prevalences of 2-year infant neurodevelopmental abnormalities were 18% (20/111), 21.4% (3/14), 29.2% (7/24), and 34.8% (8/23), respectively (adjusted P for trend=.038). Multivariate study of first grade interaction suggested that the risk of leukomalacia and 2-year infant neurodevelopmental abnormalities associated with multiple doses exposure was confined to dexamethasone. In fact, compared with betamethasone, exposure to multiple doses of dexamethasone was associated with an increased risk of leukomalacia (19/33 compared with 11/37; odds ratio [OR]=3.21, 95% CI=1.07-9.77) and overall 2-year infant neurodevelopmental abnormalities (12/28 compared with 6/35; OR=3.63, 95% CI=1.03-13.58)
A Methodological Framework to Assess Individual Sustainable Behavior
No full textCities are privileged places in which the transition of society towards a sustainable future could be achieved. In this direction, individuals could have a preeminent impact in the attempt to meet such target. To engage individuals in the more responsible use of resources, more sustainable behavior and environmental identity within citizens has to be promoted. To support the transition of citizens behavioral patterns toward a more sustainable use of resources, several tools have been proposed, especially in the Human-Computer Interaction field. Such tools are rarely used more than once by users, thus usually they fail in promoting a stable engagement of the user, and their efficacy in fostering a change in her environmental behavior is limited. In this paper a methodology to design a gamifyied environment is presented, taking into consideration the possibility to integrate different parameters to promote user’s participation and to foster her perseverance in the engagement with the proposed serious game. A specific Sustainability Index is proposed, together with its calculation algorithm, in order to better communicate and compare the environmental performances of individuals, and ultimately to interact among each other through collaboration and competition in the framework of the proposed game itself
An energy-financial decision-making tool for planning building retrofit based on basic input data
No full textThe “Clean Energy for all European” package have recently updated the European target related to energy efficiency and emissions reduction, which are becoming more and more ambitious. In this framework, the building sector is expected to contribute in a relevant way, representing, with mobility, one of the main energy-and-carbon-intensive urban sectors. The strategic role of cities with respect to the energy-environmental issues besides to the relevant role their institutions should have in improving new policies are well recognized. Act locally engaging territorial authorities and smaller realities, as well as providing to them proper assessment and decision-making tools, is a necessary step towards an energy-environmental performance rise of our economy and, in particular, of the building sector. Focusing on the latter, this paper reports the activity conducted in the framework of the Energy Center Initiative with Compagnia di San Paolo and LINKS Foundation, with the aim to develop a simplified decision-making tool for retrofit interventions prioritization and definition. The tool wants to be an instrument to support the decision-makers in outlining a local energy policy addressed to the built heritage they manage. It serves this purpose by giving a representation of the current performance of the building stock that the user intends to analyse. These performances are measured by calculating some key performance indicators related to consumptions, emissions and energy costs, based on basic input data provided by the users. The graphical representation of the results offered by the tool (quadrant-chart) allows the decision-maker to identify the buildings on which a priority action should be taken, and, thanks to an auto-diagnosis process, their criticalities. Potential retrofit options can be selected and assessed through the calculation of a financial indicator (payback period)
