description: The bioengineering of artificial tissue constructs requires special attention to their fast vascularization to provide cells with sufficient nutrients and oxygen. We addressed the challenge of in vitro vascularization by employing a combined approach of cell sheet engineering, 3D printing, and cellular self-organization in dynamic maturation culture. A confluent cell sheet of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detached from a thermoresponsive cell culture substrate and transferred onto a 3D-printed, perfusable tubular scaffold using a custom-made cell sheet rolling device. Under indirect co-culture conditions with human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), the cell sheet-covered vessel mimic embedded in a collagen gel together with additional singularized HUVECs started sprouting into the surrounding gel, while the suspended cells around the tube self-organized and formed a dense lumen-containing 3D vascular network throughout the gel. The HDFs cultured below the HUVEC-containing cell culture insert provided angiogenic support to the HUVECs via molecular crosstalk without competing for space with the HUVECs or inducing rapid collagen matrix remodeling. The resulting vascular network remained viable under these conditions throughout the 3 week cell culture period. This static indirect co-culture setup was further transferred to dynamic flow conditions, where the medium perfusion was enabled via two independently addressable perfusion circuits equipped with two different cell culture chambers, one hosting the HDFs and the other hosting the HUVEC-laden collagen gel. Using this system, we successfully connected the collagen-embedded HUVEC culture to a dynamic medium flow, and within 1 week of the dynamic cell culture, we detected angiogenic sprouting and dense microvascular network formation via HUVEC self-organization in the hydrogel. Our approach of combining a 3D-printed and cell sheet-covered vascular precursor that retained its sprouting capacity together with the self-assembling HUVECs in a dynamic perfusion culture resulted in a vascular-like 3D network, which is a critical step toward the long-term vascularization of bioengineered in vitro tissue constructs.

description: “What-if” questions are intuitively generated and commonly asked during the design process. Engineers and architects need to inherently conduct design decisions, progressing from one phase to another. They either use empirical domain experience, simulations, or data-driven methods to acquire consequential feedback. We take an example from an interdisciplinary domain of energy-efficient building design to argue that the current methods for decision support have limitations or deficiencies in four aspects: parametric independency identification, gaps in integrating knowledge-based and data-driven approaches, less explicit model interpretation, and ambiguous decision support boundaries. In this study, we first clarify the nature of dynamic experience in individuals and constant principal knowledge in design. Subsequently, we introduce causal inference into the domain. A four-step process is proposed to discover and analyze parametric dependencies in a mathematically rigorous and computationally efficient manner by identifying the causal diagram with interventions. The causal diagram provides a nexus for integrating domain knowledge with data-driven methods, providing interpretability and testability against the domain experience within the design space. Extracting causal structures from the data is close to the nature design reasoning process. As an illustration, we applied the properties of the proposed estimators through simulations. The paper concludes with a feasibility study demonstrating the proposed framework's realization.

description: Spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric observations of the pre-main sequence early-G star HD 141943 were obtained at four observing epochs (in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010). The observations were undertaken at the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope using the UCLES echelle spectrograph and the SEMPOL spectropolarimeter visitor instrument. Brightness and surface magnetic field topologies were reconstructed for the star using the technique of least-squares deconvolution to increase the signal-to-noise of the data. The reconstructed brightness maps show that HD 141943 had a weak polar spot and a significant amount of low latitude features, with little change in the latitude distribution of the spots over the 4 years of observations. The surface magnetic field was reconstructed at three of the epochs from a high order (l <= 30) spherical harmonic expansion of the spectropolarimetric observations. The reconstructed magnetic topologies show that in 2007 and 2010 the surface magnetic field was reasonably balanced between poloidal and toroidal components. However we find tentative evidence of a change in the poloidal/toroidal ratio in 2009 with the poloidal component becoming more dominant. At all epochs the radial magnetic field is predominantly non-axisymmetric while the azimuthal field is predominantly axisymmetric with a ring of positive azimuthal field around the pole similar to that seen on other active stars.

title: The evolution of the concept of political participation in twentieth-century Islamic political thought
Creators: name: Araghchi, Seyed Abbas
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: The aim of the thesis is to identify the concept of political participation and its evolution as approached in the political thought of Muslim writers and intellectuals of the present century. The major question is: how the concept of political participation, as the manifestation of people's sovereignty in the Western liberal democracy, can be accommodated in, or coexist with, the divinely-inspired political theory of Islam in which sovereignty belongs unquestionably to God alone. After some preliminary study of the related concepts, the thesis will consider the political ideas of a number of the most influential Muslim thinkers who represent the main streams of twentieth-century Islamic political thought. However, the thesis is interested in the ideas of no particular thinker in themselves. Rather, it seeks an evolution of a concept by looking at the whole body of thought in the current century. Different approaches to politics and government, and to the question of political participation in particular, are investigated in order not to judge the persons involved, but to find the extent in which the political role and power of the people have evolved in contemporary Islam. In the final chapter I argue my overall conclusion of the studied cases. The conclusion maintains that the political thinking of twentieth-century Islam has tried, albeit in an uneasy manner, to extend the absolute sovereignty and the supreme authority of God to the people, to whatever extent is possible; to incorporate the popular institutions of Western democracy into the interpretation of the religion; and in a sense, to rediscover Islamic principles and values that would provide the basis for democratic institutions within the framework of the Islamic law. While the very foundation of the concept of democracy -liberalism- is rejected, its tangible appeals and advantages are more or less approved and sought after.

description: Are trust development processes in settings of blurred organizational boundaries different from those in conventional organizational settings, and if so, how? Taking the crowdfunding campaigns of the Fin-Tech Monzo as examples of settings of blurred organizational boundaries, we analyze how the three main trust forms (individual, organizational, and institutional trust) emerge and interact in the campaigns’ online discourse and develop a process model that captures distinct trust development dynamics. We contribute to the trust literature by highlighting increased dynamics and co-existence of trust forms, and by showing that the validation of extra-organizational boundary spanners is crucial to compensate for a missing personal interaction in settings of blurred organizational boundaries. We also contribute to the crowdfunding literature and derive managerial implications.

description: State of the art analyzers in the Logic Programming (LP) paradigm are nowadays mature and sophisticated. They allow inferring a wide variety of global properties including termination, bounds on resource consumption, etc. The aim of this work is to automatically transfer the power of such analysis tools for LP to the analysis and verification of Java bytecode (JVML). In order to achieve our goal, we rely on well-known techniques for meta-programming and program specialization. More precisely, we propose to partially evaluate a JVML interpreter implemented in LP together with (an LP representation of) a JVML program and then analyze the residual program. Interestingly, at least for the examples we have studied, our approach produces very simple LP representations of the original JVML programs. This can be seen as a decompilation from JVML to high-level LP source. By reasoning about such residual programs, we can automatically prove in the CiaoPP system some non-trivial properties of JVML programs such as termination, run-time error freeness and infer bounds on its resource consumption. We are not aware of any other system which is able to verify such advanced properties of Java bytecode.

description: Nach dem Fall der Mauer im November 1989 wurden große gesellschaftliche Anstrengungen unternommen, um die Lebensbedingungen und sozialen Teilhabechancen in den neuen Bundesländern an die in den alten Bundesländern anzugleichen. Infolgedessen haben sich auch die Ost-West-Unterschiede in der Gesundheit deutlich verringert, in vielen Fällen bereits im Laufe der 1990er-Jahre. Dies lässt sich beispielsweise in Bezug auf die Lebenserwartung und die Herz- Kreislauf-Mortalität feststellen. Auch mit Blick auf das Gesundheitsverhalten hat eine deutliche Annäherung stattgefunden. So sind heute nur noch sehr geringe Unterschiede zum Beispiel beim Tabakkonsum oder in der Verbreitung der Adipositas zu beobachten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen aber auch, dass der Blick auf die verbleibenden Unterschiede zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland zu kurz greift. Stattdessen sollte eine kleinräumigere Betrachtung unter Berücksichtigung der regional unterschiedlichen Lebensverhältnisse angestrebt werden.
Problemi e autostima: atteggiamenti, emozioni e risultati in ambito matematico

description: La presente ricerca si propone di verificare l’esistenza di un legame tra l’autostima del bambino, in particolar modo la sua autostima scolastica, la riuscita nella risoluzione di problemi matematici e la perseveranza nella loro risoluzione. Sono inizialmente stati somministrati due diversi test dell’autostima agli allievi per valutare il loro grado di autostima. In seguito sono stati proposti due problemi, uno obbligatorio e uno facoltativo; prima di risolverli i bambini hanno dovuto rispondere ad alcune domande su ciò che pensavano del problema e delle proprie capacità nel risolverlo, ed esplicitare l’emozione provata dopo la lettura del testo. Durante la risoluzione venivano osservati i loro atteggiamenti e commenti, mentre alla fine veniva proposta un’intervista semi strutturata. Dai risultati ottenuti, pare che non ci sia una correlazione tra l’autostima del bambino e i risultati ottenuti nella risoluzione dei problemi. D’altro canto, sembrerebbe esserci un legame tra l’autostima e il modo di porsi di fronte al problema e l’atteggiamento durante la sua risoluzione: gli allievi con autostima più alta, in generale si pongono in modo più positivo di fronte al problema.

description: Due to its high interlayer strength and application flexibility, Shotcrete 3D Printing (SC3DP) is a promising method for the additive manufacturing of structural concrete components. The printing process is based on a layer-wise material application, conducted along a pre-designed printing path. However, material batch inhomogeneities and environmental alteration lead to varying concrete properties over the production processes. These material irregularities stochastically affect the layer geometry and thus limit the achievable reproducibility and accuracy. To enhance the process stability and improve the dimensional component quality in case of environmental changes, a reliable mapping between the strand geometry and the process and material parameters is fundamental for systematic cross-section adjustment. In this paper, we present an experimental-based approach for attaining a flexible regression model of the cross-section of Shotcrete 3D Printed concrete strands. The width and height of the layer are chosen for the strand representation, which we considered as the main factors for the printing-path planning. Regarding the modelling parameters, we focus on the volume flow parameters of concrete and air, and on the accelerator dosage. These inertia afflicted parameters can provide a consistent strand geometry, while factors of lower latency such as printing speed or spray distance are conserved for online adaptation. Based on the presented proceeding, an adjustable layer height and width model has been successfully used to predict the strand properties. The production of a medium sized sample wall further proves the applicability to the production process. In addition, we demonstrated that the chosen parameters not only affect the geometry but also the mechanical performance of SC3DP-specimens. This is evaluated based on flexural strength measurements. Given the geometrical and mechanical properties, the study defines applicable limits for the investigated parameters.

description: We find a two-parameter family of solutions of the Yang–Mills equations for gauge group SO(1,3) on Minkowski space by foliating different parts of it with non-compact coset spaces with SO(1,3) isometry. The interior of the lightcone is foliated with hyperbolic space H3≅SO(1,3)/SO(3), while the exterior of the lightcone employs de Sitter space dS≅3SO(1,3)/SO(1,2). The lightcone itself is parametrized by SO(1,3)/ISO(2) in a nilpotent fashion. Equivariant reduction of the SO(1,3) Yang–Mills system on the first two coset spaces yields a mechanical system with inverted double-well potential and the foliation parameter serving as an evolution parameter. Its known analytic solutions are periodic or runaway except for the kink. On the lightcone, only the vacuum solution remains. The constructed Yang–Mills field strength is singular across the lightcone and of infinite action due to the noncompact cosets. Its energy-momentum tensor takes a very simple form, with energy density of opposite signs inside and outside the lightcone.

description: Gaia provides a unique opportunity to review distances, luminosities, as well as the overall photometric and variability properties of Galactic Post-AGB stars. In this contribution we present an initial analysis of the information contained in the Gaia DR2 archive for all the stars in the Toruń Catalogue of Post-AGB Stars (https://www.ncac.torun.pl/postagb) and compare these properties with those of AGB stars, their immediate evolutionary precursors. In particular, we have considered AGB stars with different chemical properties: O-rich AGB stars, C-rich AGB stars, S-type AGB stars, SiC AGB stars and the extreme class of OH/IR stars, the most massive and obscured precursors in the AGB.

description: We present Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC and MIPS observations of a 0.85 deg^2 field including the Corona Australis (CrA) star-forming region. At a distance of 130 pc, CrA is one of the closest regions known to be actively forming stars, particularly within its embedded association, the Coronet. Using the Spitzer data, we identify 51 young stellar objects (YSOs) in CrA which include sources in the well-studied Coronet cluster as well as distributed throughout the molecular cloud. Twelve of the YSOs discussed are new candidates, one of which is located in the Coronet. Known YSOs retrieved from the literature are also added to the list, and a total of 116 candidate YSOs in CrA are compiled. Based on these YSO candidates, the star formation rate is computed to be 12 M_o Myr^-1, similar to that of the Lupus clouds. A clustering analysis was also performed, finding that the main cluster core, consisting of 68 members, is elongated (having an aspect ratio of 2.36), with a circular radius of 0.59 pc and mean surface density of 150 pc^-2. In addition, we analyze outflows and jets in CrA by means of new CO and H_2 data. We present 1.3 mm interferometric continuum observations made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) covering R CrA, IRS 5, IRS 7, and IRAS 18595-3712 (IRAS 32). We also present multi-epoch H_2 maps and detect jets and outflows, study their proper motions, and identify exciting sources. The Spitzer and ISAAC/VLT observations of IRAS 32 show a bipolar precessing jet, which drives a CO (2-1) outflow detected in the SMA observations. There is also clear evidence for a parsec-scale precessing outflow, E-W oriented, and originating in the SMA 2 region, likely driven by SMA 2 or IRS 7A.

Training automatizzato di sistemi Deep Learning per applicazioni di Ship Detection su dati satellitari SAR

description: Nell’ambito della localizzazione di imbarcazioni in immagini satellitari SAR, Sarmap SA propone all’interno del suo software SARscape un modulo per svolgere la suddetta funzione mediante l’utilizzo di metodi statistici. In particolare, la soluzione attualmente implementata fa uso di un algoritmo chiamato CFAR, irrobustito mediante l’utilizzo di dati AIS (dati di localizzazione che le imbarcazioni sopra una certa stazza sono obbligate a trasmettere con una frequenza relativamente alta). L’obiettivo di questo progetto è la creazione di una procedura automatizzata che, utilizzando gli strumenti sopra menzionati forniti dal committente, consenta la creazione di dataset di immagini da utilizzare per il training di sistemi di deep learning. Questi sistemi, nello specifico, si dovrebbero preoccupare di classificare la tipologia di imbarcazione (portaerei, cargo, tanker, …) in base all’aspetto dell’imbarcazione stessa. È stato quindi realizzato un workflow basato su 8 steps che permette l’estrazione di patch di imbarcazioni di dimensione voluta. A ciascuna patch è stato associato un label di classificazione relativo alla tipologia di imbarcazione in questione. Anche questa informazione, assieme alla localizzazione, è contenuta nei dati AIS. Tale procedura viene realizzata utilizzando funzionalità esistenti all’interno di SARscape per l’importazione e processamento di immagini SAR e dati AIS. Il workflow ideato è stato applicato ad un set di 52 immagini SAR appartenenti alla missione spaziale Sentinel-1. Le immagini utilizzate si riferiscono principalmente alle zone costiere della Danimarca, i cui dati AIS sono accessibili pubblicamente. Il dataset così ottenuto è composto da 750 patch di dimensione 50x50 pixel, suddivise in 7 classi differenti. Tali immagini sono state utilizzate per l’addestramento di una rete neurale convoluzionale con un’architettura ideata appositamente per una classificazione binaria tra le due categorie maggiormente rilevanti presenti nel dataset. L’ accuratezza ottenuta del 70% viene poi paragonata con i risultati derivanti dalla medesima classificazione effettuata sul dataset OpenSARShip. In conclusione, è stata evidenziata una perdita di accuracy tra il 15% e 20% utilizzando le immagini ottenute mediante la procedura realizzata rispetto ad un training equivalente svolto su OpenSARShip. La differenza nei risultati può essere spiegata dalla dimensione ridotta del dataset creato e dalla presenza di alcune problematiche che inficiano la qualità dello stesso. In futuro sarà quindi necessario ridurre la presenza di errori nell’estrazione di patch di imbarcazioni implementando nuove funzionalità e migliorando quelle già esistenti all’interno del workflow

description: In this work, we use three different numerical techniques to study the charge transport properties of a system in the two-level SU(2) (2LSU2) regime, obtained from an SU(4) model Hamiltonian by introducing orbital mixing of the degenerate orbitals via coupling to the leads. SU(4) Kondo physics has been experimentally observed, and studied in detail, in Carbon Nanotube Quantum Dots. Adopting a two molecular orbital basis, the Hamiltonian is recast into a form where one of the molecular orbitals decouples from the charge reservoir, although still interacting capacitively with the other molecular orbital. This basis transformation explains in a clear way how the charge transport in this system turns from double- to single-channel when it transitions from the SU(4) to the 2LSU2 regime. The charge occupancy of these molecular orbitals displays gate-potential-dependent occupancy oscillations that arise from a competition between the Kondo and Intermediate Valence states. The determination of whether the Kondo or the Intermediate Valence state is more favorable, for a specific value of gate potential, is assessed by the definition of an energy scale $T_0$, which is calculated through DMRG. We speculate that the calculation of $T_0$ may provide experimentalists with a useful tool to analyze correlated charge transport in many other systems. For that, a current work is underway to improve the numerical accuracy of its DRMG calculation and explore different definitions.

description: Although the deep galleries of natural underground cavities are difficult to access and are sometimes dangerous, they have the potential to preserve trace fossils. Here, we report on the first occurrence of sauropod dinosaur tracks inside a karstic cave. Three trackways are preserved on the roof of the Castelbouc cave 500 m under the surface of the Causse Méjean plateau, southern France. The tracks are Bathonian in age (ca. 168–166 Ma), a crucial but still poorly known time interval in sauropod evolution. The three trackways yield sauropod tracks that are up to 1.25 m long and are therefore amongst the largest known dinosaur footprints worldwide. The trackmakers are hypothesized to be titanosauriforms. Some of the tracks are extremely well preserved and show impressions of digits, digital pads, and claws. We erect the new ichnogenus and ichnospecies Occitanopodus gandi, igen. et isp. nov. In order to characterize depositional environments, we conducted sedimentological, petrographic, and mineralogical analyses. The tracks from Castelbouc attest the presence of sauropods in proximal littoral environments during the Middle Jurassic. This discovery demonstrates the great potential of prospecting in deep karst caves that can occasionally offer larger and better-preserved surfaces than outdoor outcrops.

description: Настоящая статья посвящена описанию некоторых тенденций функционирования вводных конструкций в современной русскоязычной интернет-коммуникации. В качестве первого тренда можно отметить востребованность использования в новейших текстах вводных конструкций, позволяющих выразить отношение говорящего к сказанному, подчеркнуть аутентичность и придать эмоциональную окрашенность сообщению. С другой же стороны, тенденция к экономии языковых ресурсов приводит к уменьшению количества употреблений и разнообразия вводных конструкций и в то же время к активному обращению к эмодзи и смайлам, которые в зависимости от ситуации в современной интернет-коммуникации могут выполнять роль вводных или вставных единиц, решать задачи передачи отношения к сказанному, выражения эмоций и привлечения внимания к сообщению, а также визуализации. Чаще всего вводные конструкции используются в интернет-общении для оценки достоверности сказанного, а также для обозначения логических операций (перечисление, сравнение и т.д.).

The tracks from Castelbouc attest the presence of sauropods in proximal littoral environments during the Middle Jurassic. This discovery demonstrates the great potential of prospecting in deep karst caves that can occasionally offer larger and better-preserved surfaces than outdoor outcrops.

description: Optimisation routines used for demand management in transport systems strongly depend on accurate forecasts. Outliers caused by systematic shifts in demand cause erroneous forecasts for both current services and future services whose forecasts are based on historic demand. Transport service providers often rely on analysts to identify outlier demand and make adjustments accordingly. However, previous research on judgemental forecasting shows that such adjustments can be biased and even superfluous. Literature on automated detection and evaluation of outlier demand in this context is scarce. To date, most literature on forecasting and optimisation in transport planning does not account for demand outliers despite the negative impacts it can have. This thesis presents a novel methodology, which combines network clustering with functional data analysis and time series forecasting, to detect outliers in demand for transport systems. This thesis also contributes a simulation framework for evaluating the performance of the proposed outlier detection procedure and for quantifying the effects of outlier demand on different optimisation routines. The use of such a method as a decision support tool for analyst adjusted forecasts, and how the outlier alerts may be best communicated, is also considered. Computational studies highlight the benefits of different adjustments that analysts may take after the identification of outlier demand. Multiple empirical studies will demonstrate how the method can be applied in practice to different types of transport systems, with analyses of Deutsche Bahn railway booking data and Capital Bikeshare usage data.

description: The Pierre Auger (cosmic ray) Observatory provides a laboratory for studying fundamental physics at energies far beyond those available at colliders. The Observatory is sensitive not only to hadrons and photons, but can in principle detect ultrahigh energy neutrinos in the cosmic radiation. Interestingly, it may be possible to uncover new physics by analyzing characteristics of the neutrino flux at the Earth. By comparing the rate for quasi-horizontal, deeply penetrating air showers triggered by all types of neutrinos, with the rate for slightly upgoing showers generated by Earth-skimming tau neutrinos, we determine the ratio of events which would need to be detected in order to signal the existence of new non-perturbative interactions beyond the TeV-scale in which the final state energy is dominated by the hadronic component. We use detailed Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the effects of interactions in the Earth and in the atmosphere. We find that observation of 1 Earth-skimming and 10 quasi-horizontal events would exclude the standard model at the 99% confidence level. If new non-perturbative physics exists, a decade or so would be required to find it in the most optimistic case of a neutrino flux at the Waxman-Bahcall level and a neutrino-nucleon cross-section an order of magnitude above the standard model prediction.

description: A monotaxic bonebed containing numerous phytosaur specimens is reported from the Upper Triassic Tiki Formation of India. The comprehensive minimum number of individuals is estimated to be 21, which includes multiple juveniles and subadults, and only a few adults. Such intraspecific aggregation of juvenile-dominated phytosaurs is explained here by parental care and juveniles living in cohorts, as are evident from extant phylogenetic bracketing of either lepidosaurs or crocodiles and birds. The cause of this mass death is probably disease related, after which the carcasses bloated, floated, and disarticulated at the site of death, resulting in an autochthonous assemblage. The carcasses remained submerged under shallow, slow-moving or standing water for a prolonged time and later were subaerially exposed after the recession of water. Subsequently, flooding events resulted in their burial under the overbank fines. Comparison of biostratinomic variables with those of a rhynchosaur-dominated bonebed recovered previously from the same stratigraphic horizon showed distinct differences in their causes of death and fossilization pathways. The latter may be attributed to their habitat differences because the phytosaurs lived in the low-lying areas or ponds and the rhynchosaurs resided on relatively higher and drier areas of the Tiki floodplain.
Identificazione di un Punto di Interesse con Localizzazione outdoor limitata (LOL)
Creators: name: Babbucci, Leonardo

description: Il sistema denominato "LOL" è un’applicazione mobile che rappresenta una soluzione innovativa nel campo della geolocalizzazione ed è in grado di rilevare con esattezza sia la posizione che l'orientamento dell’utente in specifici contesti outdoor caratterizzati da particolari limitazioni spaziali. Dopo un'attenta e meticolosa analisi delle tecnologie emergenti e consolidate, si è optato per lo sviluppo di una soluzione ad hoc basata sul machine learning, che coniuga efficienza operativa con reattività. Questa scelta metodologica non solo garantisce l'indipendenza dell'applicazione da servizi esterni onerosi o piattaforme di terze parti, ma assicura anche la sua funzionalità in modo completamente autonomo e locale nel dispositivo su cui è installata. La versatilità di LOL è ulteriormente evidenziata dalla sua ampia compatibilità, abbracciando il 96.19% dei dispositivi basati sul sistema operativo Android, e si estende con successo ad apparecchiature di natura diversa (ad esempio Raspberry Pi), a patto che siano equipaggiati con moduli GPS. LOL non è una semplice soluzione di geolocalizzazione. Si presenta come un sistema integrato capace di scannerizzare aree, archiviare dati, sviluppare e addestrare modelli di machine learning, e infine, effettuare predizioni estremamente accurate, mantenendo tutte le operazioni all’interno del dispositivo. In conclusione, l'analisi dei dati raccolti dimostra che la distanza media tra la posizione effettiva dell'utente e quella predetta da LOL è di 3.41 metri, con una precisione elevatissima che raggiunge un picco di 0.93 metri. ____ In particular outdoor environments limited by geographical constraints, the "LOL" system, a mobile application, is able to precisely detect the location and orientation of the user. It is an innovative geolocation solution. It was chosen to design an ad hoc solution based on machine learning, which combines operational efficiency with responsiveness, after a thorough and detailed research of developing and known technologies. This methodological decision guarantees the application's autonomy and local functionality on the installed device, as well as its independence from burdensome external services or third-party platforms. A further demonstration of LOL's adaptability comes from its broad compatibility, which covers 96.19% of Android-based devices and successfully works with other types of devices (such the Raspberry Pi), providing those devices have GPS modules. LOL is not a straightforward geolocation method. It is described as an integrated system that can scan a space, store data, create and train machine learning models, and then make extremely precise predictions all within the same device. The examination of the data revealed, in summary, that there is an average distance of 3.41 meters between the user's actual position and the LOL prediction, with a very high accuracy peaking at 0.93 meters.

La valutazione scolastica del bambino con dislessia
Creators: name: Cavalli, Lara
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2013

description: La presente ricerca ha lo scopo di approfondire la questione relativa alla valutazione scolastica dei bambini con dislessia. Il progetto è stato condotto su un campione di tre insegnanti di scuola elementare del secondo ciclo, nelle cui classi erano presenti uno o più allievi con dislessia diagnosticata. I dati sono stati raccolti tramite delle interviste e la loro analisi ha permesso di capire come i docenti valutano i bambini con dislessia, sia in italiano che in altre materie scolastiche. Da questo progetto emergono le diversità tra i criteri che un insegnante utilizza per valutare un allievo con dislessia in rapporto agli altri allievi. Emergono inoltre alcune disuguaglianze nelle valutazioni della materia italiano e delle altre materie scolastiche. Durante la valutazione viene tenuto conto del disturbo specifico dell’allievo e quindi delle sue difficoltà, cercando di non penalizzarlo nel lavoro che ha svolto. Vengono inoltre messe in atto delle strategie durante l’anno per aiutare il bambino a svolgere gli esercizi con il minor numero di difficoltà. Relatrici: Feliciana Fiscalini-Tocchetto e Sara Giulivi
