description: Given the importance of season ticket holders (STH) to sporting organisations, we empirically examine a scale for measuring their attitudes to the season ticket product. This involved identifying through qualitative research and past literature, the various elements that are perceived to comprise the season ticket package and developing items to measure STH attitudes to them. The season ticket package was decomposed into six key components, closely mirroring past research. A survey of over 2,500 STH of a professional sporting organisation was then conducted, incorporating items related to these six areas, overall satisfaction and disconfirmation of expectations. The results of Exploratory Factor Analysis on those items is presented here, with results suggesting the items are valid measures of season ticket holder attitudes that capture the breadth of the STH experience.

prototype

description: The NEASQC project aims at demonstrating and advancing the capabilities of NISQ-era devices through the development of practically-relevant use-cases. Under the category of Symbolic AI and Graph Algorith-mic algorithms, one of the use-cases that is being developed is for Quantum-enabled Natural Language Processing (QNLP). The objective of the QNLP use-case in NEASQC is to investigate, develop and com-pare existing methods in classical NLP with a QNLP approach to encode and process sentences in a hybrid classical-quantum workflow. This software deliverable D6.7 titled “QNLP alpha prototype” is an incremental update to the pre-alpha prototype delivered through D6.3 (Villalpando et al., 2021a, 2021b). The alpha prototype goes beyond the DisCoCat method (Coecke et al., 2010) used in the pre-alpha prototype to explore and implement an alternate method based on Dressed Quantum Circuits.

description: Bubbling is commonly used in the chemical and mineral refining processes to enhance temperature and chemical composition homogeneity, and control mass transfer and heat transfer. In the case of high temperature operations, it is very difficult to measure directly the effect of stirring on the system and thus the control of such processes is dominated by manual procedures. In the case of bottom bubbling processes involving two fluids (e.g. steel and slag in ladle refining operations), the disturbance of the surface of the top layer ('spout eye') provides a visual indication of the bubbling process and is accompanied by sound and vibration signals that all originate from the same phenomena and are clearly closely related to each other. In this study, we construct an experimental rig using five depths of the secondary layer (5-25mm) and 10 flow gas rates (2-20lpm) to simulate the secondary steelmaking process. Images from the top view, sound and vibration signals were collected simultaneously and they were manipulated into a state matrix after pre-treatment. The state matrix carries all the information which can be reliably measured from the bubbling phenomena. In this study, we propose to analyse the matrix using the PCA technique as means to reduce the dimensions of the matrix and hopefully produce a useful control signal.

description: Modern business conditions have imposed continuous monitoring of changes in the field of technical and technological solutions, and their application in the automotive industry is increasingly based on the requirements of Industry 4.0. Digitalization of business processes in the automotive industry has become synonymous with progress and development, and the constant finding of new solutions that will enable quality improvement, cost reduction and competitive advantage, becomes a necessity. As a result, it is not surprising that more and more automotive industries are now using virtual tools to train and develop their employees, but also virtual reality (VR) technology in different business segments to achieve greater efficiency - whether it is design, research production, sales or marketing. This paper aims to examine the attitudes of engineers to indicate the ability to execute innovative solutions for the implementation of virtual training and the use of various tools in the context of achieving greater business efficiency. Accordingly, the basic barriers in the implementation of Industry 4.0 and its tools based on virtual training and development methods and tools will be pointed out. The paper will indicate the accelerated dynamics of the development of technological solutions and the limiting factors of its application in the practice of Lear Corporation. By emphasizing the speed of change, the need to strengthen flexibility, attitudes towards employees, resistance to change, this paper implies the need to create clear strategic solutions that will contribute to the future development of this company, both in terms of realization of virtual trainings, and in terms of application of virtual reality tools to increase business efficiency. Creating strategic documents to acquaint employees with the need and essence of their application can contribute to strengthening organizational culture, eliminating gaps in technology solutions, and raising motivation and employee loyalty to the corporation.
Evaluation of the effects of a psychosocial intervention on mood, coping and quality of life in cancer patients
Creators: name: Reavley, Nicola
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The popularity of non-mainstream cancer treatments raises complex issues for patients and medical practitioners and it is vital to scientifically evaluate effectiveness and investigate mechanisms of action of complementary treatments. This thesis describes sociodemographic, medical and psychological characteristics of participants in The Gawler Foundation program, which incorporates meditation, social support, positive thinking and a vegetarian diet. It describes program impact in terms of: Profile of Mood States (POMS), Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer (Mini-MAC), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) and salivary cortisol levels. Compliance with program recommendations for up to 12-months and effects on adjustment were explored. This thesis also describes the development of a scale to assess the effects of meditation. Program participants (n=112) were predominantly female, well-educated, younger in age with good social support. Over 60% reported metastatic disease and 50% had been diagnosed for over a year. Improvements in all measures were found at program completion, with Spiritual wellbeing particularly linked to improvement in quality of life (QOL). Those with higher levels of mood disturbance and lower QOL at baseline benefited more than those who were less well adjusted. Analysis of three, six, and 12-month follow-up data showed high compliance with program recommendations. Improvements seen at program completion were mostly not maintained at follow-up, although improvements from baseline were. These results suggest that the program has significant beneficial effects on adjustment but that these may not be fully maintained at follow-up, possibly due to difficulty incorporating program recommendations into everyday life and increasing disease severity. Study limitations include self-selection, high drop-out rates and lack of a control group. Initial investigation suggested that quality of meditation experience was linked to improved adjustment and this thesis describes the initial development of a scale to assess the effects of meditation, which was divided into two sections: Experiences During Meditation and Effects of Meditation in Everyday Life, and trialled on 236 participants. Scale evaluation involved factor analysis, reliability and validity analysis. The Experiences During Meditation scale had five subscales: Cognitive effects, Emotional effects, Mystical experiences, Relaxation and Physical discomfort. The Effects of Meditation in Everyday Life scale had a single factor structure, with the final scale consisting of 30 items. Construct validity was explored by assessing correlations with the measures: Perceived Control of Internal States, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, FACIT Spiritual wellbeing subscale, POMS-Short Form and Physical Symptoms Checklist. It is anticipated that the scale may be useful for clinicians and researchers and may contribute to improved understanding of the effects of meditation practices.
Development of an integrated catchment-stream water quality model
Creators: name: Hossain, Iqbal
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Water quality models are extensively used for the estimation of water quality parameters of an aquatic environment, which is essential for the development of efficient pollution mitigation strategies. However, due to the lack of specific local information and poor understanding of the limitations of various estimation techniques and underlying physical parameters, modelling approaches are often subjected to producing gross errors. Moreover, the usual practice of water quality modelling is performed through separate models in isolation, which leads to inconsistencies and significantly biased results in the prediction of water quality parameters. This research project presents the development of an integrated catchment-stream water quality model to be able to continuously simulate different water quality parameters, i.e. SS (suspended sediments), TN (total nitrogen) and TP (total phosphorus). The integrated model is comprised of two individual models, i.e. the catchment water quality model and the stream water quality model. The catchment water quality model estimates the amount of pollutants accumulated on catchment surfaces during the antecedent dry days, and their transportation with surface runoff into nearby waterways and receiving water bodies throughout storm events. The stream water quality model estimates the amount of transported pollutants through a particular stream reach. Considering the time-area method, a rainfall-runoff model was developed. Water quality parameters were incorporated with the rainfall-runoff model, which represents the catchment water quality model. A stream water quality model was developed with the same water quality parameters as used in the catchment water quality model. Finally, the catchment water quality model and the stream water quality model were integrated for the continuous simulation of previously mentioned water quality parameters. For calibration and validation of the model, different published data and reliable source data collected from Gold Coast City Council (GCCC) were used. The calibration results demonstrated the suitability of the developed model as a tool to help with water quality management issues. Sensitivity analysis of the model parameters was performed to assess the most sensitive parameter and to enhance understanding of the modeller’s knowledge about the adopted modelling approach. The major advantage of the developed model is the continuous simulation of water quality parameters associated with surface runoff during any rainfall event using an integrated modelling approach. The preparation process of the input data for the model is simple. The capability of the model to simulate surface runoff and pollutant loads from a wide range of rainfall intensities make the integrated model useful in assessing the impact of stormwater pollution flowing into waterways and receiving water bodies and to design effective stormwater treatment measures.
title: Engineering Trustworthy Systems by Minimizing and Strengthening their TCBs using Trusted Computing
Creators: name: Fuchs, Andreas
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: The Trusted Computing Base (TCB) describes the part of an IT system that is responsible for enforcing a certain security property of the system. In order to engineer a trustworthy system, the TCB must be as secure as possible. This can be achieved by reducing the number, size and complexity of components that are part of the TCB and by using hardened components as part of the TCB. Worst case scenario is for the TCB to span the complete IT system. Best case is for the TCB to be reduced to only a strengthened Root of Trust such as a Hardware Security Module (HSM). One such very secure HSMs with many capabilities is the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This thesis demonstrates how the TCB of a system can be largely or even solely reduced to the TPM for a variety of security policies, especially in the embedded domain. The examined scenarios include the policies for securing of device resident data at rest also during firmware updates, the enforcement of firmware product lines at runtime, the securing of payment credentials in Plug and Charge controllers, the recording of audit trails over attestation data and a very generic role-based access management. In order to allow evaluating these different solutions, the notion of a dynamic lifecycle dimension for a TCB is introduced. Furthermore, an approach towards engineering such systems based on a formal framework is presented. These scenarios provide evidence for the potential to enforce even complex security policies in small and thus strong TCBs. The approach for implementing those policies can often be inspired by a formal methods based engineering process or by means of additive functional engineering, where a base system is expanded by increased functionality in each step. In either case, a trustworthy system with high assurance capabilities can be achieved.

description: The UK’s departure from the EU represents a unique process of disintegration that fundamentally changes EU–UK relations. This paper discusses the nature of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) as the new basis of EU–UK relations, as well as its sustainability, legitimacy and effectiveness. It finds a thin and unfinished relationship with inbuilt possibility for better or for worse, but with politics pointing to growing estrangement and divergence over time. The loss of trust over the last five years has been bleeding into all levels of the relationship, raising the question whether the technocratic governance structure can work in the high-friction context of EU–UK relations. Given the UK’s economic and political weight in Europe, the paper looks at the implications for differentiation within the EU and between the EU and third countries. It illustrates how the introduction of a new mode of external differentiation in Europe – a former member state with no intention of membership in the future – impacts existing modes of differentiation. It finds that the reality of Brexit suggests a more hard-line approach towards third countries, sending the message to members and non-members alike that membership matters. Flexibilities are thus a benefit for EU member states that have signed up to the EU’s core principles in full. The paper concludes that the EU needs to stay attentive to evolving perceptions of Brexit, and show that EU membership remains attractive, also for candidate countries, and is a relevant framework for dealing with global challenges that cannot effectively be addressed at the national level.

description: Parathyroid cancer has a poor mid-term prognosis, often because of local recurrence, observed in half of all patients. Modern diagnostic workup increasingly enables a preoperative diagnosis of parathyroid cancer. There is limited evidence that more comprehensive oncologic surgery can reduce the risk of local recurrence. This study aims to identify the best specific surgical approach in parathyroid cancer.
This observational cohort study comprises 19 consecutive patients who had undergone oncologic or nononcologic resection for parathyroid cancer. Baseline parameters were compared by using univariate analysis; outcomes were assessed by χ (2) testing and Kaplan-Meier statistics.
Fifteen of 19 patients were primarily operated on in our tertiary center between 1996 and 2013, and four were referred for follow-up because of their cancer diagnosis. Patient cohorts defined by histologic R-status were comparable for established risk factors: sex, calcium levels, low-risk/high-risk status, and presence of vascular invasion. Oncologic resections were performed in 13 of 15 patients primarily treated in the center and 0 of 4 treated elsewhere (χ (2) = 5.6; p < 0.01). R0 margins were achieved in 11 of 13 (85 %) undergoing oncologic resection and 1 of 6 (17 %) undergoing local excision (χ (2) = 8.1; p < 0.01). R0 margins and primary oncologic resection were associated with higher disease-free survival rates (χ (2) = 7.9; p = 0.005 and χ (2) = 4.7; p = 0.03, respectively). Revision surgery achieved R0 margins in only 2 of 4 (50 %) of patients.
In parathyroid cancer, a more comprehensive surgery (primary oncologic resection) provides significantly better outcomes than local excision as a result of reduction of R1 margins and locoregional recurrence.
title: Deriving the Main Cultivation Direction from Open Remote Sensing Data to Determine the Support Practice Measure Contouring

description: The P-factor for support practice of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) accounts for soil conservation measures and leads to a significant reduction in the modelled soil loss. However, in the practical application, the P-factor is the most neglected factor overall due to high effort for determining or lack of input data. This study provides a new method for automatic derivation of the main cultivation direction from seed rows and tramlines on agricultural land parcels using the Fast Line Detector (FLD) of the Open Computer Vision (OpenCV) package and open remote sensing data from Google Earth™. Comparison of the cultivation direction with the mean aspect for each land parcel allows the determination of a site-specific P-factor for the soil conservation measure contouring. After calibration of the FLD parameters, the success rate in a first application in the low mountain range Fischbach catchment, Germany, was 77.7% for 278 agricultural land parcels. The main reasons for unsuccessful detection were problems with headland detection, existing soil erosion, and widely varying albedo within the plots as well as individual outliers. The use of a corrected mask and enhanced parameterization offers promising improvements for a higher success rate of the FLD.

Year: 2022

description: To minimize fatigue, sustain workloads, and reduce the risk of injuries, the exoskeleton Carry was developed. Carry combines a soft human–machine interface and soft pneumatic actuation to assist the elbow in load holding and carrying. We hypothesize that the assistance of Carry would decrease, muscle activity, net metabolic rate, and fatigue. With Carry providing 7.2 Nm of assistance, we found reductions of up to 50% for the muscle activity, up to 61% for the net metabolic rate, and up to 99% for fatigue in a group study of 12 individuals. Analyses of operation dynamics and autonomous use demonstrate the applicability of Carry to a variety of use cases, presumably with increased benefits for increased assistance torque. The significant benefits of Carry indicate this device could prevent systemic, aerobic, and/or possibly local muscle fatigue that may increase the risk of joint degeneration and pain due to lifting, holding, or carrying.

description: We take the concept of e-Leadership to be multifaceted and conceptually ambiguous (Gurr, 2004). In this paper, we focus on the importance for university leaders to promote effective understanding and partnerships between Information Technology (IT) departments and all of those responsible for learning and teaching. We identify ways to achieve collaboration at all levels within university organisations. We aim to promote a new spirit of co-operation and achievement (Avolio, Kahai & Dodge, 2000). Barriers abound, often about contested ground, that constantly impact on the success of institutional systems and communication practices (Johnson et al., 2013). With our deep, embedded experience over time, (one of us as a university Director of IT, and one a Pro Vice-Chancellor responsible for learning and teaching innovations), we review the fundamental issues underpinning the relationship between these two leadership systems within Higher Education and recommend some constructive ways forward.

description: We present measurements of the size of the Vela pulsar in three gates across the pulse, from observations of the distribution of intensity. We calculate the effects on this distribution of noise in the observing system, and measure and remove it using observations of a strong continuum source. We also calculate and remove the expected effects of averaging in time and frequency. We find that effects of variations in pulsar flux density and instrumental gain, self-noise, and 1 bit digitization are undetectably small. Effects of normalization of the correlation are detectable, but do not affect the fitted size. The size of the pulsar declines from 440+/-90 km (FWHM of best-fitting Gaussian distribution) to less than 200 km across the pulse. We discuss implications of this size for theories of pulsar emission.

description: The leading policy objective in EU differentiation underlying border, asylum and police cooperation has been to achieve the abolition of internal border controls to create a borderless European single market. Germany has been the main proponent kickstarting and maintaining such agenda through differentiation. For roughly two decades, differentiation has proved effective to abolish internal border controls, integrate the related cooperation in EU structures, enlist the cooperation of non-EU member states, and produce joint policy outputs on asylum, external borders and police affairs. Yet, growing external migration challenges have undermined the effectiveness and legitimacy of existing arrangements, ushering in disintegration tendencies.

Year: 2021

description: Tourism is changing significantly and many of the changes are also affecting the field of landscape enhancement and cultural heritage education. There is a growing interest in sustainable tourism and projects involving local communities in the promotion of the less-know locations. Contemporarily, the digital transformation is deeply involved in these processes, as it broadens the possibility of accessing information that may interest a particular public focused on cultural, sustainable and community-based tourism offers. This paper refers to a research project aimed to involve schools in a participatory processes of interpretation and enhancement of the everyday landscape inside an area basically unknown by tourists in an evolving touristic city. The first part focuses on the current links between heritage education and tourism education in consideration of the European policies about the landscape. The second part concisely illustrates the research project, and present an overview of the use of ICTs in the participatory processes of interpretation and enhancement of a suburban landscape. The third part describes a specific activity performed during the project and it focuses on the adopted methodology and the touristic interactive applications created. In the last part, the paper discusses, in the light of the project, the relationship between landscape and heritage education, tourism education and some important transformations that are taking place in the field of tourism. Finally, the authors propose some considerations on the field experience described.

description: Peripheries are playgrounds of society be­cause they offer an opportunity for self-real­ization while designing and exploring some­thing new. Thus, peripheries become places of social innovation, especially for people who are willing to take risks and try some­thing new, even if they are ridiculed for it at first. They may assign less value to getting recog­nized by the social mainstream. Peripheries therefore offer niches to try out other ways of life and go off the beaten path, particu­larly when there is a need for real change.

description: Can the countryside offer a real alternative to metropolitan life? Today, rural areas are of­ten seen as places to ‘save’ through tourism and other discontinuous uses, but the era in which we live imposes a radical change of perspective: the pandemic has crumbled tourist economies and shown their fragility. The birth of a post-tourist society is particu­larly relevant in Italy, where entities such as the borghi are widespread: far and discon­nected from the large urban centers, they are nevertheless the archetype to which metro­politan areas are now turning again. To put these reflections into practice, it is effective to study a representative case: the ‘urban ter­ritory’ around San Benedetto del Tronto (AP), an ever-growing seaside tourist destination. The neighboring municipalities are nothing but dormitory districts, as evidenced by the new widespread urbanizations and the semi-abandoned historic centers of Acquaviva Pi­cena, Monteprandone, and Monsampolo del Tronto. Among the still evident signs of the 2016 earthquake and houses for sale, the three medieval villages spend in hibernation the months that separate the tourist sea­sons, calling for alternative scenarios: in or­der not to remain crystallized as monuments to culture and traditions, it is necessary for them to aspire to be places of daily life, in­serted in a network of biunivocal relations with other urban centers.

Year: 2021

description: Baranzate is an autonomous municipality of about 12.000 inhabitants on the outskirts of Milan. During its history, since the political Unification of Italy, the town has gradually transformed from an agricultural village to an industrial center that, already after the First World War, began to attract flows of immigrants from the southern Italian regions. After the Second World War, its population grew considerably thanks to the increase in Italian immigration and –more recently– from abroad. With over a third of immigrants among its population, today Baranzate is the Italian municipality –with more than 5,000 inhabitants– with the highest percentage of foreign people. Consequently, the town changed its original housing structure with the establishment of neighborhoods inhabited mainly by foreign citizens. Is it possible to identify an immigration landscape and its visual characteristics that best describe the settlement dynamics? This paper tries to answer this question by means of images that can show the traces of housing processes and of the difficult paths towards a progressive integration of immigrants into the Italian society.

This contribution aims at recognize the genius disloci of the suburbs, considered no man’s land, places without identity, but which are, inevitably, the daily theater of most people’s lives. On the heels of a deep and sensitive cognitive activity, the potential of marginalized places have been investigated through the case study of Ponte San Giovanni, the most complex neighborhood of the city of Perugia. The disorganization of the urban fabric betrays a precise lexical heritage, characterized by the presence of the archaeological park of the Etruscan necropolis of Palazzone and the Ipogeo dei Volumni. In this framework, the urban architecture project Hortus line is inserted, with the purpose of physically and culturally sewing up the peripheral monument with the inhabited district. It traces an iconic sign in the intricate local morphology able to evoke that genius loci unrevealed so far.

description: In this paper, we describe the use of an agent-based simulation language, JACK Sim. JACK Sim is one of several add-ons for the agent language JACK, which is based on the belief-desire-intention architecture. The implementation of a prototype model of pedestrian wayfinding behaviour is described and the prototype is then evaluated using software engineering quality principles. A recent addition to the simulation language world, JACK Sim solves several problems encountered with using JACK alone for certain simulations andprovides a solid framework for creating discrete-event simulations with BDI agent technology.
Landscape Narration and Digitization between Preservation and Regeneration in Fragile Areas. The Case of the Italian Western Alps
Creators: name: Vedoà, Marco

description: During the last decades, cultural heritage digitization processes have assumed a central role in documenting, communi­cating, and enhancing the cultural land­scape. Beyond the development of cata­logues, Cultural Heritage GIS, and web maps, administrations, associations, pri­vate companies, and spontaneous groups of citizens created innovative landscape narrations to promote their places. In the same direction, the Italian policy on pe­ripheral areas, Strategia Nazionale per le Aree Interne (SNAI), recognize landscape as a latent common capital that, if prop­erly managed, could play a relevant role in the reactivation and regeneration of mar­ginal municipalities. With a focus on the nine experimental areas identified by SNAI in the Western Alps, the study analyses the digitization processes and the landscape narrations available online. Moreover, the paper deepens the top-down and bottom-up ap­proaches, the involvement of local stake­holders, the opportunities to attract ex­ternal resources with the aim to learn the possible links between ICTs, tourism, and the regeneration of fragile landscapes.

Drawing as Design Act: Expressing the Hidden Structure and the Design Perspective of Inner Periphery
Creators: name: Corradi, Emilia

Publisher: name: img journal
Year: 2021

description: The contribution aims to present an ongoing research work with Confcooperative Abruzzo, about the definition of community design actions within the regional inner area. Moreover, it shows the necessity of a series of devices to report the complex stratification of these territories. The paper traces the difficulties in describing through mapping these inner peripheries of the Italian central Appennino, pointing out the necessity of representing the complex, often subtle, dynamics and the physical asset of the area. The study displays how understanding these problems and lacks could produce a possibility in which the critical representation of the territory can become a methodological project through an interscalar point of view, so working at different scales of analysis. Finally, the illustration of some study drawings highlights how the territorial interpretation of inner territories could fore-see design actions, recognizing the intrinsic structure of these areas, overlapping tangible and intangible networks.

A Computational Strategy to Plan Housing Settlements: the Case of Santa Marta
Creators: name: Verniz, Debora

Year: 2021

description: The world is becoming more urbanized and the exponential population growth places an enormous pressure in cities. This intense urbanization gives rise to innumerous urban problems, especially when stakeholders are not able to construct sufficient buildings and infrastructure. Informal settlements emerge in this context as a self-constructed solution for housing. This research presented, proposes a computational strategy to the planning of affordable housing settlements, based on the model of favelas, and developing rules to replicate their positive characteristics while avoiding their flaws. Santa Marta favela, an iconic informal settlement in Rio de Janeiro, is the case study for this research. The research encompasses six steps: (1) data collection and modeling of the case study; (2) generating the grammar-based analytical computational model; (3) assessing the case study; (4) revising the analytical model to propose a synthetic computational model to generate favela-like settlements; and (5) validating the synthetic model. This paper focuses on steps four and five of the research by presenting the computational strategy developed to generate the synthetic grammar. This strategy contributes for the theory of shape grammars by extending the concept of grammatical transformations.

The Jungle of Calais: a Place of Resistance and Monumentality
Creators: name: Garland, Melanye
Publisher: name: img journal
Year: 2021

description: The ongoing critical European border regimes are leading to the emergence of new official/unofficial refugee and migrant camps, which I understand, are an important aspect of the (post)colonial era. Of particular interest to this paper is reflecting upon past actions and motivations in my first experience in one of the biggest informal camps in Europe, ‘The Jungle’ in Calais, France. For this purpose, I question my artistic and pseudo ethnographic methodologies. Such as artistic intervention with an art action, participatory observation, and informal interviews, reflecting on how to research these ‘peripheral’ places. I will deal with my own experience in The Jungle with ethnographic and artistic considerations and consider theories such as; the art of resistance and (post)colonial practices, which have helped guide my ongoing thoughts on ‘monumentally’. I see The Jungle as a possible visual manifestation of ongoing problematics of the ‘autonomy of migration’ in a contemporary Western context. The particular interest of this text is the reflection on/of different theoretical, ethnographic, and artistic materials from the research during my first encounter in The Jungle. The major focus is between 2015 and 2016 when the urban and social development of the area took place (and when my initial fieldwork took place). This text engages on layers of memory with aspects of personal experience and anthropological theory.

Mapping Peripheries: Urban Ethnographic Maps as Graphic Tools
Creators: name: Valentino, Michele
Publisher: name: img journal
Year: 2021

description: The crisis of the boundary line and the consequent determination of the peripher­ies from a geometric point of view entails a crisis in representing urban boundaries and thresholds, and therefore the peripher­ies themselves. In this regard, the essay rereads some historical and recent ethnographic urban maps. Both from a graphic point of view and as artefacts and documents capable of visualising complex urban issues linked to the concept of peripheralization of frag­ile territories. This reinterpretation allows us to highlight the role that these graphic artefacts have as interpretative documents of the peripheral realities of the city that open operational, epistemological and se­mantic perspectives in the field of graphic sciences. The frames operated by the boundary draw­ing line of the urban periphery assume similar ontological meanings and episte­mologies. Their re-discussion allows us to rethink their definition and operational role in the urban dimension and in the extension of the graphic tools of urban representation.

Exhibiting Places. Installation Practices at the Margins
Creators: name: Bassoli, Nina
name: Gigliotti, Roberto
Publisher: name: img journal
Year: 2021

description: The paper illustrates how the experiments by some emerging architectural practices, adopting the tools of temporary setup, often not far from installation or exhibition design, claim a deeper sense of architecture, and identify marginal areas –distant from the centres of our cities as widely accredited attractive areas for tourism or leisure– as valuable reservoirs of resources, redefining their established patterns. Their interventions create an intermediate space, which instead of obsessively opposing centre and periphery, urban and rural, modernity and tradition, global and local, is able to instil a deviation, staging new images and opening up to a new imagery. In the ephemeral character of the presented projects lays one of their more powerful strengths. They concentrate an enormous amount of energy in a certain place at a certain moment and this phenomenon has a big transformative potential. In this context, performances, installations and exhibitions can be understood as activist’s tools making the appropriation of marginal areas as well as devices capable of strengthening community interactions. This paper is part of a broader analysis connected to a research project that starts from the assumption that architectural exhibitions today should be recognised as a mean oriented not only towards the documentation and presentation of architecture, but as a proper instrument for the production of architectural experiments.
