“…The general aim of bibliometric studies is to investigate research areas and infer how they have changed over time so as to get some clues about future research tendencies (e.g. Marx and Bornmann 2013;Niu et al 2014;Gizzi et al 2015;Knapczyk et al 2018). Besides this, the results of this study can also stimulate the scientific community to build interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research networks, according to what is recommended by international organizations (e.g.…”

“…The Sassi symbolizes an extraordinary example of a rich historical stratigraphy. In point of fact, stable settlements have been documented in an important way and uninterruptedly on the top of Civita (the first inhabited nucleus) since the II millennium BC and they have grown along the right side of the Gravina stream whereon are still lying the two Sassi: Caveoso and Barisano (Gizzi et al 2016).…”

“…Cultural heritage calls for studies performed on Matera UNESCO site, considering the monitoring approach based on the ICT technology (Gribaudo et al 2017), the conservation state of wall(s) [12] of monuments or building(s) of the Sassi of Matera (e.g. Danese et al 2010;Gizzi et al 2016). Other research in the cultural heritage field consider the use of the in situ survey(s) [63] for monitoring the heritage by means of gpr [new, 7] (ground-penetrating radar) or low cost technologies (e.g.…”

“…Thermography offers answers to several questions [49][50][51][52][53]: a) to examine the history of a building; b) to "read" building features (e.g., to identify non-visible elements hidden under the plaster, to study wall textures, to recognize rear-end collisions of existing openings, mapping of previous restoration interventions); c) to carry out diagnosis and monitoring of the conservation state (e.g., presence of moisture due to infiltration or capillary rising, identification of cracks, detachment of plaster). From a technical point of view, the thermographic analysis allows one to highlight the different temperature responses caused by inequalities in the thermal properties between materials placed within the first few centimeters inside the wall.…”

Students Meet Cultural Heritage: An Experience within the Framework of the Italian School-Work Alternation (SWA)—From Outcomes to Outlooks

Cultural heritage is the creative expression of a people’s presence in the past. It represents a driving force to create, develop, and consolidate the sense of identity, belonging, and citizenship, as well as a means to appreciate the diversity of people and develop a policy for peace and mutual understanding. Furthermore, heritage is a source of economic development and a key factor for sustainable development. The dissemination of such values among people and the transmission of heritage to the future generations entail putting into the field proper actions, from the knowledge to the protection and conservation, and from the enhancement to the fruition and management. Such requirements increasingly involve the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) that can be considered the paradigm shift to create novel job opportunities in the field of cultural heritage. This paper aims to discuss an experience led by the Institute of Archaeological and Monumental Heritage of the (Italian) National Research Council (IBAM-CNR), with students of a secondary school of the Basilicata region (Southern Italy). The experience developed within the framework of the School-Work Alternation (SWA) (recently renamed “Pathways for Transversal Competences and Orientation” by Italian law), a training modality envisaged in the Italian school system to bring the school closer to the world of work by proper partnership between formal education contexts and external organizations. The SWA Project revolves around the acquisition of some technical and methodological tools for the approach to knowledge, conservation, and enhancement of cultural heritage, having particular regard for diagnostic tools and ICTs. This article deals with the outcomes of the activities developed during the Project, discussing both the technical-professional and transversal skills acquired or expected to be acquired by the students. In addition, starting from the results of the activities, the authors speculate about possible outlooks of SWA in the heritage field considering: (i) the role of such a training path in raising young people's awareness to preserve cultural heritage by becoming active and proactive citizens; (ii) the relationship of SWA with regional and European-supported development policy strategies; (iii) the potential benefits that SWA can provide for cultural heritage from the synergy between different institutional actors.

“…It has been found that water content influences the strength of this porous limestone similarly to other lithologies [11]. Limestones are important construction materials and their properties have been studied in details in recent years [12,13,14]. Particular data set of carbonate rocks were published such as bulk density, effective porosity, ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength [15].…”

This paper focuses on the effect of high temperature on the mechanical properties of a porous limestone that is widely used as dimension stone in Hungary. The changes in physical properties of 3 types of porous limestone were analyzed at 22 °C, 300 °C and 600 °C, respectively. The limestone specimens were also subjected to freeze-thaw cycles to assess the other extrinsic factor that influences the behavior. Parameters such as material density, bulk density, ultrasonic pulse velocity and tensile strength were measured and compared in different test conditions. The tests results indicate that fabric differences significantly influences the durability of tested limestones. Bioclastic grainstone is more frost resistant that ooidal grainstone or bioclastic packstone, but heating seems to reduce the pulse velocity and tensile strength of all tested limestone. It is suggested that cyclic freezing-thawing reduces the strength depending on the micro-fabric, while heating to 600 °C and the reduction of strength is less controlled by the fabric of the porous limestone.
