“…The urban context plays the syntactic functions of a semantic chain, within which the value functions (Signification processes) arise, consolidate and change. Finally, the recursive feedback of results on rules makes the procedure described in the three areas of Analysis, Evaluation and Project perfectly circular and consistent with the concept of "revisable truth" [106].…”

“…Indeed, the significance of such a "heuristic" lies in the practice of skepsis, i.e., "the research that questions acknowledged truths and recognizes the potential of doubt" [106]. In this sense, the value of the proposed model does not consist in its ability to generate a lot of scenarios, but rather, to create the space for the right choice to manifest itself, thus contributing to the knowledge of value and its creation.…”

“…The awareness of such a relation is due to the abstraction of the concrete qualities of the buildings through the numerical representation of their characteristics; as a result, the management of this standardized information through a unified lexicon is a "simplification without loss of information" [106], which allows one to compare different goods from the point of view of a multiplicity of characteristics, as well as to process large amounts of data.…”

Environmental Identities and the Sustainable City. The Green Roof Prospect for the Ecological Transition

This research deals with the issue of the recovery of the historic urban fabric with a view towards ecological transition, nowadays considered the preferable direction of sustainability for the reform of the house–city–landscape system. The massive incentives provided by the Italian government for sustainable building, in view of the post-pandemic economic recovery, risk being reduced to mere support for the real estate sector, which turns the financial transfer from the public into an increase in asset value for the private sector. Such an incentive system could contradict the original function of the city, which is to be the privileged place for social communication and the creation of the identity of settled communities. A process of property development that disregards the distribution of income favors the most valuable property, thus increasing the socioeconomic distance between centrality and marginality. The latter is a condition that often characterizes the parts of the historic city affected by extensive phenomena of physical and functional obsolescence of the built heritage, and it is less capable of attracting public funding. The increase of building decay and social filtering-down accelerates the loss and involution of neighborhood identities; the latter constitutes the psycho-social energy that helps preserve the physical, functional and anthropological integrity of the city, due to the differences that make its parts recognizable. This study, with reference to a neighborhood in the historic city of Syracuse (Italy), proposes a model of analysis, evaluation and planning of interventions on the buildings’ roofs, aimed at defining the best strategy for ecological–environmental regeneration. The model presented allows one to generate a multiplicity of alternative strategies that combine different uses of roofs: from the most sustainable green roofs, but that are less cost-effective from the identity and landscape point of view; to the most efficient photovoltaic roofs from the energy–environmental point of view; and up to the most cost-effective ones, the vertical extensions with an increase in building volume. The proposed tool is an inter-scalar multidimensional valuation model that connects the multiple eco-socio-systemic attitudes of individual buildings to the landscape, identity, energy–environmental and economic overall dimensions of the urban fabric and allows one to define and compare multiple alternative recovery hypotheses, evaluating their potential impacts on the built environment. The model allows the formation of 100 different strategies, which are internally coherent and differently satisfy the above four perspectives, and it provides the preferable ones for each of the five approaches practiced. The best strategy characterizes most green roofs, 427 out of 1075 building units, 277 blue roofs, 121 green–blue roofs and 46 grey roofs.

“…However, ChatGPT has aws, such as providing incorrect answers, displaying gender biases, or neglecting negation (Katwala, 2022). The use of technology in classrooms remains a contentious subject, with techno-optimists (Negroponte, 2006) on one side and those who believe that introducing technology to education will erode essential human values (Postman, 2003) innovations with favorable features are more likely to be adopted (Rogers, 2003). In other words, innovations that offer advantages, perceived compatibility with existing practices and beliefs, low complexity, potential trialability, and observability will have a broader and more rapid diffusion rate (Dillon & Morris, 1996).…”

OpenAI's ChatGPT, an advanced AI-driven language model, is experiencing rapid adoption, with 100 million users in just three months. This study, involving 288 university students, aims to identify factors determining students' intentions to use ChatGPT in higher education, using Rogers' perceived theory of attributes as a framework. The study examines five factors influencing ChatGPT adoption: Relative Advantage, Compatibility, Ease of Use, Observability, and Trialability. Results indicate that five factors significantly influenced ChatGPT adoption. Students view it as innovative, compatible, and user-friendly. Students view ChatGPT as an innovative resource, enabling the independent pursuit of educational goals. Consequently, the benefits provided by ChatGPT in education motivate students to utilize the tool. The study's gender-based analysis reveals that male students prioritize compatibility, ease of use, and observability, while female students prefer the ease of use, compatibility, relative advantage, and trialability in ChatGPT adoption. Our study presents a sentiment analysis approach utilizing transfer learning and K-means, considering the impact of personal bias on expressed opinions. While the K-means algorithm can create distinct clusters (Neutral, Negative, and Positive), the accuracy demonstrates a bias towards the male gender. Understanding adopter categories, such as innovators and early adopters, can help strategize the successful diffusion of innovations like ChatGPT to different segments of society. However, its use in academia raises ethical concerns, such as diminished creativity and academic integrity violations. Similar to social media platforms' rapid diffusion, ChatGPT has the potential to transform communication and information-sharing. Factors like ease of use, accessibility, and connection capabilities contribute to both innovations' appeal. Analyzing social media platforms' diffusion can offer insights into ChatGPT's potential adoption trajectory.
