An interactive web-GIS tool for risk analysis: a case study in the Fella River basin, Italy

This paper presents a prototype of an interactive web-GIS tool for risk analysis of natural hazards, in particular for floods and landslides, based on open-source geospatial software and technologies. The aim of the presented tool is to assist the experts (risk managers) in analysing the impacts and consequences of a certain hazard event in a considered region, providing an essential input to the decision-making process in the selection of risk management strategies by responsible authorities and decision makers. This tool is based on the Boundless (OpenGeo Suite) framework and its client-side environment for prototype development, and it is one of the main modules of a web-based collaborative decision support platform in risk management. Within this platform, the users can import necessary maps and information to analyse areas at risk. Based on provided information and parameters, loss scenarios (amount of damages and number of fatalities) of a hazard event are generated on the fly and visualized interactively within the web-GIS interface of the platform. The annualized risk is calculated based on the combination of resultant loss scenarios with different return periods of the hazard event. The application of this developed prototype is demonstrated using a regional data set from one of the case study sites, Fella River of northeastern Italy, of the Marie Curie ITN CHANGES project.

Courts and Courtly Cultures in Early Modern Italy and Europe: Models and Languages

This volume deals with the forms of propaganda and self-representation, through words and images, during the rise of the 'civiltà delle corti' and through processes typical of the time, such as confrontation, adaptation, competition and rivalry. This period, which marked the passage of Italian and European culture from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, is fundamental in the development of Modern Europe, and it lasted up to the XVIII century and beyond. At the heart of many matters debated here lies the relationship between culture and politics. The formation of a 'Lombard identity', central to the Sinergia project which was the frame of the whole research and its conferences, is closely linked to this broad general context. It places the so called 'questione milanese' - above the traditional hierarchies 'Toscana oriented' - at the centre of many questions regarding Northern Italy as a whole, starting from the dissolution of the Medieval communes, through to the rise of the signorie, from the end of the XIII century and the beginning of the XIV century up to the early XVI century.

Curso básico de prevención de riesgos laborales. Marco normativo

Este capítulo tiene como objetivo acercar al trabajador a los conceptos básicos que definen la seguridad y la salud en el trabajo. Con esta finalidad, se establece la relación existente entre trabajo y salud, se definen las condiciones de trabajo y se analiza la aparición de factores de riesgo, así como el modo en el que éstos pueden traducirse en daños para la salud de los trabajadores. Además, se introducirá al trabajador en el marco normativo básico de referencia en materia de prevención de riesgos laborales, que intenta garantizar la seguridad y salud en el trabajo

El portafolios en el marco de asignaturas de lenguas extranjeras en la universidad: la percepción de los estudiantes

Se ha escrito y reflexionado mucho en los últimos diez años sobre el uso de portafolios en las clases de lengua. Sin embargo, no se ha estudiado aún suficientemente cómo perciben los estudiantes el uso de estos portafolios. En este artículo se presentan una parte de los resultados del proyecto Diseño y estudio de la incidencia de instrumentos para el desarrollo de la competencia estratégica en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en contexto universitario (DEICOMECU).Concretamente se focaliza sobre la percepción de los estudiantes por lo que se refiere al uso del portafolios. Se describe el contexto y el tipo de portafolios que se utilizó y además se añaden reflexiones de la autora a raíz de una relectura posterior de las interpretaciones de los datos.

De Francisco a Marco Antonio Aldana pasando por Gaspar

It is traditionally considered that the «Aldana», whom Gaspar Gil Polo praises at the end of his «Canto de Turia» (1564), was Francisco de Aldana, the «divino». It is nonetheless more probable that it was in fact rather the Valencian poet, Marco Antonio Aldana, almost forgotten today, but very much in the public eye within the cultivated circles of the end of the sixteenth century Valencia

Biblioteca del Convento San Carlos Borromeo de San Lorenzo

En febrero de 1813 la edificación del Convento de San Carlos Borromeo de San Lorenzo resguardó al cuerpo de granaderos al mando del coronel José de San Martín en su lucha contra el ejército español. Pero también fue el escenario en el que se produjo, en abril de 1819, el conocido "Armisticio de San Lorenzo" que se firmó entre representantes de las provincias de Buenos Aires, Santa Fe y Entre Ríos para acordar el cese de la hostilidad.

El currículo escolar en el marco de la nueva ecología del aprendizaje

Este artículo presenta una reflexión sobre el currículo y el aprendizaje escolar en el marco de la nueva ecología del aprendizaje, propia de la sociedad de la información. Se presentan, en primer lugar, sus rasgos principales. Contrasta fuertemente con la de creación de los sistemas educativos actuales, que se sustenta en el modelo de escolarización universal. En la segunda parte, se platean los retos y desafíos de la educaciónescolar y los procesos de revisión curricular para afrontarlos y superarlos.

Physico-chemical analysis of Albian (Lower Cretaceous) amber from San Just (Spain): implications for palaeoenvironmental and palaeoecological studies.

Amber from a Lower Cretaceous outcrop at San Just, located in the Eastern Iberian Peninsula (Escucha Formation, Maestrat Basin), was investigated to evaluate its physico-chemical properties. Thermogravimetric (TG) and Differential Thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses, infra-red spectroscopy, elemental and C-isotope analyses were performed. Physico-chemical differences between the internal light nuclei and the peripheral darker portions of San Just amber can be attributed to processes of diagenetic alteration that preferentially took place in the external amber border colonized by microorganisms (fungi or bacteria) when the resin was still liquid or slightly polymerized. δ13Camber values of different pieces of the same sample, from the nucleus to the external part, are remarkably homogeneous, as are δ13Camber values of the darker peripheral portions and lighter inner parts of the same samples. Hence, neither invasive microorganisms, nor diagenetic alteration, changed the bulk isotopic composition of the amber. δ13C values of different amber samples range from -21.1 to -24 , as expected for C3 plant-derived material. C-isotope analysis, coupled to palaeobotanical, TG and DTG data and infra-red spectra, suggests that San Just amber was exuded by only one conifer species, belonging to either the Cheirolepidiaceae or Aracauriaceae, coniferous families probably living under stable palaeoenvironmental and palaeoecological conditions.

A caracterização da lógica pela força assertórica em frege. Resposta a Marco Ruffino

Segundo a caracterização padrão da lógica nos escritos fregeanos, a palavra "verdadeiro" indica a essência da lógica, assim como a palavra "bom" indica a essência da ética e a palavra "belo" a essência da estética. Num escrito póstumo de 1915, porém, Frege afirma que é a força assertórica, e não a palavra "verdadeiro", que indica a essência da lógica. Prima facie, esta correção está em conflito com a crítica fregeana à concepção psicologista da lógica. Pois, segundo esta crítica, a lógica não é a ciência das leis "do ser tomado como verdadeiro", mas a ciência das leis "do ser verdadeiro", ao passo que a força assertórica expressa o ser tomado como verdadeiro. Em escritos anteriores, tentei resolver este conflito por uma reconstrução da concepção fregeana da verdade baseada na tese fregeana de que verdade é expressa na linguagem natural pela "forma da sentença assertórica". A meta do presente trabalho é defender esta interpretação contra as objeções recentemente feitas por Marco Ruffino.
