    Universities and Wineries: Supporting Sustainable Development in Disadvantaged Rural Areas (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-08-27
    Description: This exploratory study focuses on the role of the university in supporting sustainable development in rural areas, focusing on small wine producers, particularly those located in remote and disadvantaged areas. Disadvantaged areas have distinctive features. Firstly, they are fragile areas from a sociodemographic point of view because of population ageing. Secondly, they are unstable from an environmental (physical, eco-systemic) point of view, as a consequence of insufficient maintenance of their seminatural capital. University–business cooperation with companies located in those areas thus needs to be designed by considering the specific characteristic of the place. Therefore, this exploratory study sought to understand how the university can work with small wineries and support them and their rural area to face inequalities and low growth, and foster social innovation. We present a case study based on field research in Italy. The results—based on the analysis of 26 semistructured interviews with small wine producers—are discussed by exploring the potential form of cooperation between rural stakeholders and universities, beyond the concept of knowledge transfer. Conclusions highlight the need for the university to act as a facilitator of dialogue at a territorial level, as a first step toward to formulation of shared sustainable goals.

    Three-dimensional imaging from laser scanner, photogrammetric and acoustic non-destructive techniques in the characterization of stone building materials (2018)
    Copernicus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-07-27
    Description: When combined, the three-dimensional imaging of different physical properties of architectural monumental structures acquired through different methodologies can highlight with efficiency the characteristics of the stone building materials. In this work, we compound high resolution Digital Color Images (DCI) and Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) data for a dense 3-D reconstruction of an ancient pillar in a nineteenth century building in the town of Cagliari, Italy. The TLS technique was supported by a digital photogrammetry survey in order to obtain a natural color texturized 3-D model of the studied pillar. Geometrical anomaly maps showing interesting analogies were computed both from the 3-D model derived from the TLS application and from the high resolution 3-D model detected with the photogrammetry. Starting from the 3-D reconstruction from previous techniques, an acoustic tomography in a sector of prior interest of the investigated architectural element was planned and carried out. The ultrasonic tomography proved to be an effective tool for detecting internal decay or defects, locating the position of the anomalies and estimating their sizes, shapes, and characteristics in terms of elastic-mechanical properties. Finally, the combination of geophysical and petrographical data sets represents a powerful method for understanding the quality of the building stone materials in the shallow and inner parts of the investigated architectural structures.

    Analysis of Psychometric Properties of the Quality and Satisfaction Questionnaire Focused on Sustainability in Higher Education (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-08
    Description: The aim of this research was to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess the quality of education, from a sustainability perspective, in higher education institutions of Naples (Italy), and determine whether differences exist between the groups (families, teachers and, students) with respect to their level of satisfaction concerning that quality, since it is important that education policies promote that assessment from an economic, social, environmental, and organisational dimension. The questionnaire was validated using a quantitative, quasi experimental, cross sectional method. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted on a sample of n = 1091 subjects to study the differences between the groups and their level of satisfaction. The results show a good reliability and validity. In this MANOVA, significant differences and large effect sizes were found. Families and teachers consider that quality management in higher education is adequate. The three groups are very satisfied with teaching management, and the teachers’ group has the higher level of satisfaction with teaching planning. It is concluded that this validated questionnaire provides information on the opinions about the quality of education from a sustainability perspective and that the self-assessment of those responsible for teaching is essential to achieve continuous improvement.

    Quality of Higher Education through the Pursuit of Satisfaction with a Focus on Sustainability (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-03-18
    Description: The objective of this study is to analyse individual differences in quality of higher education through the pursuit of satisfaction with a focus on sustainability, whilst considering variables pertaining to groups (family, teachers and pupils) and satisfaction in a sample of 1091 Italians: 510 pupils (45.8%), 121 teachers (11.1%) and 469 relatives (42.9%). Once the quality parameters of the instrument (quality of higher education through the pursuit of satisfaction with a focus on the sustainability (QHES) questionnaire) were determined, reliability was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modelling methodology, and data collection was initiated. Results from the multi-level study (ANOVA) showed significant differences between groups. From this, it can be concluded from the study that the role performed by a quality education oriented towards sustainability equally includes teachers, students and relatives. This role focuses on the battle to incorporate effective participatory methods into the teaching process, motivating members of the educational community and social future in the search for knowledge, skills, attitudes and necessary values. This will forge a sustainable future given that it does not only depend on the characteristics and experiences of individuals but also their training, both within the centre and their families. This factor is of vital importance, as demonstrated and concluded in the present study.

    Three-dimensional imaging from non-destructive techniques in the characterization of stone building materials (2020)

    Description: The acquisition of 3D data by means of different methodologies on architectural monumental structures when combined can highlight with efficiency the characteristics of the stone building materials. The result is a threedimensional imaging of different physical properties that can be analyzed and interpreted more objectively and accurately than the conventional two-dimensional ones. We have applied various three-dimensional non-destructive techniques to produce data that can better visualize and detect defects in the shallow and inner parts of the architectural elements built with stone materials. The 3D data volume of a different nature provides a less ambiguous image of the materials and contributes in efficiency by increasing both fidelity and resolution in the diagnostic process. In this paper, we combined high resolution Digital Color Images (DCI) and Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) data for a dense 3D reconstruction of an ancient pillar in a monument of the town of Cagliari, Italy. The TLS technique was supported by a digital photogrammetry survey in order to obtain a natural color texturized 3D model of the study pillar. The 3D model was built with a specific software aligning and combining a set of 2D high resolution color images captured all around the investigated architectural element from multiple viewpoints using a normal handheld 2D digital reflex camera. Final high resolution natural color 3D model reproduces a faithful metrically –correct-scale copy of the analyzed structure and therefore can be effectively compared with the surface geometric anomalies and reflectivity values obtained by the TLS. During the TLS survey we operated a Leica HDS-6200 long-range phase shift terrestrial laser scanner in order to compute an aggregated 3D cloud representing the pillar surface texturized with its reflectivity and the position of the pixels in an intrinsic reference system. Geometrical anomaly maps showing interesting analogies were computed either from the 3D model derived from the TLS application or from the high resolution 3D model detected with the photogrammetry. Starting from the 3D reconstruction from previous techniques an acoustic tomography in an sector of prior interest of the investigated architectural element was carried out. Travel time of longitudinal elastic waves were measured along a great number of measurement paths between stations located on the perimeter of the investigated sections. Each station was alternatively used as transmitter and receiver and measurements of paths crossing the section in a large number of different directions were carried out. Each ray between stations divided in small segments, each corresponding to a pixel element. Inversion techniques were used to obtain a map of the distribution of the longitudinal wave velocity across the sections, thanks to specific software exploiting appropriate reconstruction algorithms. The ultrasonic tomography proved to be an effective tool for detecting internal decay or defects, locating the position of the anomalies and estimating their sizes, shapes, and characteristics in terms of elastic-mechanical properties. Finally, the combination of geophysical and petrographical data sets represents a powerful method for understanding the quality of the building stone materials in the shallow and inner part of the investigated architectural structures.
