ASPETTATIVE DEGLI INSEGNANTI DI SCUOLA PRIMARIA E SECONDARIA SUGLI INTERVENTI DIRETTI E INDIRETTI DELLO PSICOLOGO SCOLASTICO

Gutkin e Conoley (1990) hanno distinto due diverse modalità di erogazione delle attività nei servizi di psicologia scolastica: una di tipo diretto, secondo la quale lo psicologo si occupa della diagnosi/intervento sull’allievo, e una di tipo indiretto, dove lo psicologo fornisce agli insegnanti i mezzi necessari per valutare la situazione e per sviluppare l’intervento. L’obiettivo di questa indagine, condotta su un campione di 50 insegnanti di scuola primaria e 50 di scuola secondaria, è quel...

Integrating back analysis and forward modelling of a debris flow with GB-InSAR data to assess the risk in a mountainous valley floor

Debris flows are water-laden collapsing masses of soil and fragmented rocks. Those related to slope failures rush down mountainsides, funnel into stream channels and form thick deposits on valley floors. Usually, they are also associated with intense erosion along their path, that leads to a substantial increase in volume, runout distance, and disruptive energy. The prediction of landslide runout and its effect is essential in landslide risk assessment, especially in populated mountainous are...

ER tomography for the validation of Muon Transmission Radiography (MTR) as a reliable technique to detect and characterise river levees' animal burrows

Animal burrows in a river’s earthen levee, are erosion tunnels that enlarge the structure macro-porosity. This leads to water piping phenomena causing structural damage that eventually leads to the embankment collapse during floods. Currently, the state of the art comprises case studies that deal with management and maintenance issues, while there are very few documented attempts at quantitatively assessing the biological damage in an earthen struc ture, i.e. quantify possible animal-induced ...
