Publication Chair 26th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems 2022 (ISMIS 2022)
No full textThis volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 26th International
Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2022), which was held
in Rende, Italy, during 3–5 October, 2022. The Symposium was organized by ICARCNR, the Department of Computer Engineering, Modeling, Electronics and Systems
Engineering (DIMES) at the University of Calabria, Computer Science Department at
University of Bari “Aldo Moro” and DIETI Department at University of Naples “Federico II”. ISMIS is a conference series that started in 1986. Held twice every three years,
it provides an international forum for exchanging scientific, research, and technological achievements in building intelligent systems. In particular, major areas selected for
ISMIS 2022 include health informatics, social media analysis, recommendation systems,
natural language processing, explainable AI, intelligent systems, classification and clustering, and complex data analysis. This year, we also organized a special session on
“Industrial Applications”.
After the pandemic, this is the first edition that the Symposium is held in person,
although the hybrid mode is still kept for obvious precautionary reasons. We decided
promote in-person participation, in order to renew the usual level of interactions and
fruitful exchange of ideas that has always characterized the Symposium in the past.
ISMIS 2022 received 71 submissions that were carefully reviewed by three or more
Program Committee members or external reviewers. Papers submitted to the special
session on “Industrial Applications” were subject to the same reviewing procedure as
those submitted to the regular session. After a rigorous reviewing process, 31 regular
papers, 11 short papers and 4 industrial papers were accepted for presentation at the
conference and publication in the ISMIS 2022 proceedings volume.
It is truly a pleasure to thank all people who helped this volume come into being and
made ISMIS 2022 a successful and exciting event. In particular, we would like to express
our appreciation for the work of the ISMIS 2022 Program Committee members and
external reviewers who helped assure the high standard of accepted papers.We would like
to thank all authors of ISMIS 2022, without whose high-quality contributions it would
not have been possible to organize the conference. We are grateful to the organizers of
the special session on “Industrial Applications” at ISMIS 2022: Luciano Caroprese and
Fabio Fumarola.
The invited talks for ISMIS 2022 were “Adaptive Machine Learning for Data
Streams” by Albert Bifet from the University of Waikato and the Institut Polytechnique
de Paris, and “Interactive Machine Learning” by Andrea Passerini from the University
of Trento. Abstracts of the two invited talks are included in these proceedings. We wish
to express our thanks to the invited speakers for accepting our invitation to give the talks.
We are thankful to Ronan Nugent and Anna Kramer of Springer Nature for their
work on the proceedings and for supporting the ISMIS 2022 Best Paper and Best
Student Paper awards. Finally, we would like to thank our platinum sponsor Relatech

No full textOrientador: Aci Taveira MeyerDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ArtesResumo: Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo realizar um estudo analítico interpretativo e pedagógico das 12 Valsas de Esquina de Francisco Mignone. Visa o estudo, a análise e a divulgação da música brasileira e de um de seus mais significativos
representantes. Com o estudo analítico, procura-se investigar os elementos técnicos utilizados pelo compositor e como ele os manipula. Para introduzir e contextualizar essa análise, realizou-se um levantamento biográfico e histórico da vida do compositor
fundamentado por bibliografia já existente e entrevista com a viúva do compositor, Maria Josephina Mignone. A conclusão deste trabalho reúne as informações obtidas por meio da análise, identificando a linguagem musical do autor e discutindo a aplicabilidade didática destas obras no ensino do piano, relevando a importância delas no repertório pianístico brasileiroAbstract: The main objective of this study is to realize a tecnique and educational analysis of the 12 Valsas de Esquina composed by Francisco Mignone. Concurrently, this analysis will contribute to the dissemination of the Brazilian music and one of its most important composers. The analytical study focuses on the compositional techniques employed by Mignone, as well as which technical elements he utilized and how he manipulated them. In order to introduce and put into prospective the analysis, the author provided a biographical and historical analysis and also an enterview with Mignone's wife. The information obtained by the analysis affords a conclusion in respect of the composer¿s musical language and the didatic applicability of these pieces and their influence and prominence at the Brazilian pianistic repertoireMestradoMestre em Músic
Valutazione dell'impatto di metalli pesanti sullo stato sanitario di Camoscio Alpino Rupicapra rupicapra
No full textGli ungulati rappresentano un'importante risorsa per il territorio montano dove trovano spazi e contesti adeguati alla loro crescita e riproduzione, divenendo un elemento faunistico prioritario. Inoltre rappresentano un importante modello per la loro capacità, grazie alla tipologia metabolica e a una lunga vita media, di essere eccellenti indicatori di contaminazione ambientale, accumulando metalli pesanti e altri inquinanti in vari compartimenti corporei.
L’interesse venatorio e alimentare rivestito da questi grandi mammiferi ha portato in vari contesti a differenti linee di ricerca attiva che hanno prodotto numerosi lavori relativi alla presenza di contaminanti ambientali nei tessuti di individui abbattuti durante le normali attività di caccia e di selezione.
Al momento non ci sono informazioni relative alla concentrazione di metalli pesanti nei tessuti di camoscio alpino (Rupicapra rupicapra), mentre maggiori sono i dati disponibili relativi allo stato sanitario della specie.
Il presente lavoro riporta alcuni dati relativi alla quantificazione di metalli pesanti (Pb, Cd, Cr, Se, Hg, As, Ni, Co, Cu, Fe) in 15 reni di camoscio alpino raccolti nel 2007 nell'ambito delle normali attività di caccia in provincia di Imperia. Vengono inoltre valutate eventuali correlazioni con lo stato sanitario degli animali stessi, in quanto i metalli pesanti hanno un notevole impatto sulla salute degli animali, essendo in grado di alterare diverse funzioni fisiologiche dell’organismo, quali ad esempio la riproduzione e le difese immunitarie.
I risultati ottenuti dall'analisi del tessuto renale, espressi in ng/g peso fresco, eseguita mediante spettrofotometria ad induzione con sorgente al Plasma (ICP-OES), ha consentito innanzitutto di definire come il nichel sia sempre al di sotto del limite di quantificazione della metodica (LOD); per quanto riguarda il piombo, questo è presente a livelli superiori al LOD solo in 4 esemplari su 15 (tab. 1). È altamente probabile che questa contaminazione sia legata alla presenza di residui dei proiettili e non tanto ad una vera e propria contaminazione ambientale. Sempre rilevabili sono gli altri metalli, con una positività del 100% per Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe e Se e del 87% per l'As e del 93% per il Hg. L'analisi statistica effettuata in funzione del sesso e dell'età degli animali non ha evidenziato significative correlazioni, testimoniando quindi di una esposizione a livelli di contaminazione estremamente bassi se non nulli. A testimonianza di ciò, i livelli di elementi tossici osservati sono da ritenere non indicativi di potenziali effetti avversi a carico del sistema immunitario, come confermato anche dal fatto che non ci siano particolari stati patologici correlati ai livelli di metalli pesanti.
La variabilità osservata dimostra la validità di questi ungulati quali bioindicatori ambientali, in grado di fornire utili indicazioni sui livelli di contaminazione del loro ambiente di vita
Keratinophilic fungi from coats of wild boars in Italy
No full textHair samples were collected from wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Italy to determine the presence of keratinophilic fungi. Eleven (5%) of 211 boars had fungi: two (1%) had Tricophyton mentagrophytes, five (2%) had I: terrestre, two (1%) had Chrysosporium kerntinophilum, one (0.5%) had Chrysosporium tropicum, and one (0.5%) had both C. keratinophilum and T. terrestre. These are the first recorded isolations of C. keratinophilum, C. tropicum, and T. terrestre from wild boars. Based on the low prevalence of keratinophilic fungi, wild boars probably are not of special epizootological interest for dermatophytic infections

The US government's social cost of carbon estimates after their first year: Pathways for improvement
No full textIn 2010, the U.S. government adopted its first consistent estimates of the social cost of carbon (SCC) for government-wide use in regulatory cost-benefit analysis. Here, we examine a number of the limitations of the estimates identified in the U.S. government report and elsewhere and review recent advances that could pave the way for improvements. We consider in turn socioeconomic scenarios, treatment of physical climate response, damage estimates, ways of incorporating risk aversion, and consistency between SCC estimates and broader climate policy
