Abstract. Cultural heritage is facing irreversible changes due to anthropogenic and natural impacts. Condition assessment is a holistic approach to analyse the historic buildings, structures or sites to record changes and understand their deterioration and causes. Detailed documentation is an essential first step for mapping the condition, analyse, give a diagnosis and propose conservation measures. However, not all the time the appropriate documentation is available or recorded towards this means, making difficult a proper assessment. This paper presents a review of digital documentation tools supporting a systematic assessment of the condition and changes of historic structures. The application aerial and close-range photogrammetry and panoramic photography is illustrated using two case studies within the World Heritage properties in the Central Asia region, Itchan Kala and the Historic Centre of Bukhara in Uzbekistan.

Digital Documentation

Visual digital documentation of traditional dance in Indonesia is still limited to photographs and videos recording. Motion capture technology has the potential to add more depth documenting traditional dances. This technology maps the position of the model (in this case the human body) and its motion in three dimensions. There are two popular ways in recording motion capture, using Vision Based Camera and Inertial measurement unit. Inertial Measurement Unit works by combining accelerometer and gyroscope to detect changes in the rotation axis relative lateral and angular. Those changes will be interpreted Arduino micro-controller platform as functions of motions that recorded as a motion capture data. Motion capture data that was obtained from traditional dance in Indonesia can be applied for many things such as education, standardization, documentation, and preservation of cultural assetsKeywords: digital documentatuion, motion capture, inertia measurement unit, angular relative, digital heritage. Abstrak Dokumentasi digital secara visual untuk tari tradisional di Indonesia masih terbatas pada perekaman secara fotografis dan videografis. Teknologi motion capture memiliki potensi untuk menambah kekayaan dokumentasi untuk tari tradisional. Teknologi ini memetakan posisi model (dalam hal ini tubuh manusia) dan pergerakannya secara 3 dimensi. Ada dua cara yang populer dalam perekaman motion capture, menggunakan Vision Based Camera dan Inertial measurement unit. Inertial Measurement Unit bekerja dengan menggabungkan accelerometer dan gyroscope untuk mendeteksi perubahan sumbu rotasi secara lateral dan angular relative. Perubahan ini yang oleh platform mikro-kontroler Arduino akan diterjemahkan sebagai fungsi gerakan yang nantinya akan direkam sebagai data motion capture. Data dokumentasi digital motion capture yang didapat dari perekaman gerak tari tradisional di Indonesia dapat diaplikasikan untuk banyak hal seperti edukasi, standarisasi, pembuatan animasi, game, dan pelestarian aset budaya. Kata kunci: dokumentasi digital, motion capture, inertia measurement unit, angular relative, pelestarian asset budaya

Abstract. Nowadays, there are many methods and techniques for the documentation and the restoration of historic structures and historical artifacts that are commonly used due to their completeness, accuracy and fastness. The use of advanced 3D measurement technologies, by either using terrestrial or aerial means of acquiring digital data, has become an efficient and reliable documentation tool. Within this context, this study focuses on combining terrestrial laser scanning, unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry, close-range photogrammetry and topographic surveying, and comparing the associated digital data for archaeological fieldwork documentation. The data collected during the Thessaloniki Toumba Excavation (Greece) provided accurate digital surface models and photo-realistic three-dimensional outputs of archaeological trenches. The data elaboration enabled new inferences and knowledge to be gained through the implementation of advanced technologies in heritage documentation.

Digital documentation is one of the most useful techniques to record the condition of cultural heritage. Recently, high-resolution images become increasingly useful because it is possible to show general views of mural paintings and also detailed mural conditions in a single image. As mural paintings are damaged by environmental stresses, it is necessary to record the details of painting condition on high-resolution base maps. Unfortunately, the cost of high-resolution photography and the difficulty of operating its instruments and software have commonly been an impediment for researchers and conservators. However, the recent development of graphic software makes its operation simpler and less expensive. In this paper, we suggest a new approach to make digital heritage inventories without special instruments, based on our recent our research project in Üzümlü church in Cappadocia, Turkey. This method enables us to achieve a high-resolution image database with low costs, short time, and limited human resources.

Seismic Stress

After the earthquake of 2012, the ecclesiastical heritage of Mantua was so damaged to render unusable many buildings. Especially churches show a higher vulnerability in relation to their architectural features. From a recognition after the seismic event, more that 40% of the churches of Mantua were damaged with different intensity.<br><br> After the first phase of expeditious damage detection, a methodical analysis has allowed to know the real state of conservation of many architectures.<br><br> The Diocese of Mantua commissioned to the Mantua Campus of Politecnico di Milano the survey and digital documentation of 25 churches differently affected by the seismic event. The goal of the survey was double:<br><br> a) realize the documentation necessary for the shoring and protection of damaged structures;<br><br> b) prepare the drawing for the following interventions on the buildings such as restoration, reconstruction and retrofitting.<br><br> Five years after the earthquake, many interventions of those identified were completed and concluded. Numerically, 129 churches were damaged and, nowadays, 115 have been restored and now they are fully open.<br><br> The paper aims to illustrate the operational criteria used in the survey activity and repair operations carried out in order to identify guidelines that can direct operators in cases of new consolidation measures.<br><br> All these directions were based on this premise: for historic structures, it is appropriate to accept a level of awareness with seismic risk higher than for ordinary structure, rather than act in the manner contrary to criteria of preservation of cultural heritage.<br><br> In these years, we tried to identify the forms of dependence between observed damages, construction types and the conservative state before the earthquake. The goal in fact is to understand the cause of the wide loss of ecclesiastic heritage. The reason can be searched in the unfamiliarity of construction practices, techniques and materials with earthquakes or the inability of existing building to resist the seismic stress because badly maintained.<br><br> These two possibilities conditioned the repair choices applied on the churches. The interventions regard different techniques which were optimized not only to be applied on buildings damaged by the earthquake but also on those that gradually show the necessity of accommodation measures. It is important, in order not to miss the operational experience gained in these years, to maximize the economic resources deployed by focusing the results achieved and verify if the followed path has been consistent and, if not, adjust the direction followed.<br><br> In summary, the solutions adopted are for example: ties and anchor elements, repair works on vaults with mesh and plaster, repair works on vaults with addiction of lightweight ribs; repair works on cracked vaults with wood, steel wedges and injections of natural hydraulic lime, filling in the gaps of the masonry structure to reduce vulnerabilities.

Abstract. Cultural Heritage (CH) is a domain which has been greatly affected by climate change in the past decades. At the same time Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been greatly exploited to contribute to the holistic documentation, to support conservation and preservation actions. In order to move further on from the interdisciplinary approach to the holistic approach on Cultural Heritage the fusion of data from various sensors is the next goal. This paper focuses on the exploitation and integration of close-range 3D and Hyperspectral data from four Cultural Heritage buildings of Rhodes in order to assess material degradation. The methodology and data processing for this integration are presented as well as the useful and promising results of this approach which lead to further analysis and future work. The research is conducted within the framework of an EU funded project.

The aim of this paper is to examine how a museum exhibition can allow barrier-free access and engagement of visitors. This paper will discuss Immersive Legacies, an exhibition that presented the digital documentation and virtual representations of a significant heritage building, both physically and in virtual reality. Through the examination of the exhibition, Immersive Legacies and its broader museological context, this paper will discuss the emergence of these technologies in museums and its relation to the Anthropocene epoch. In an age of rapid advancement and destruction, it becomes essential to preserve heritage sites, architecture and cultural objects. Furthermore, connection and communication were, and continue to be facilitated by the technologies that began in the Anthropocene epoch. As a result of this era, heritage can be experienced anytime and anywhere, although it remains vital for citizens to have the opportunity to experience it in museums. In turn, this paper will examine how these technologies can be to help citizens understand and engage with heritage and the past in museums - now and in the future.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In the city of Cuenca in the south of Ecuador, analogous documentation techniques continue to be the unique registration mechanism for built heritage. The heritage characteristics of modern architecture in Cuenca are not well known, therefore the documentation activities are still based on paper fiches that gather basic data, without the possibility to update or monitor those records. In addition, this type of heritage, is underestimated, not disseminated and devalued by public institutions, owners and by local citizens, who do not find heritage attributes in these buildings. Consequently, this research used technological documentation techniques and tools for the identification, conservation and safeguarding of modern heritage in the city of Cuenca, aiming to raise awareness about modern heritage.</p> <p> With the evaluation of the existing records, this research aspires to validate the digital documentation tools for modern architecture as a first step to its recognition and valorization. Thus, scanner laser, photogrammetry and rectified photography, were used and compared to verify the adaptability of the documentation fields content to modern architecture and the opportunities that the results grants to promote its preservation and management over time.</p>

Background: Assessment of suicide attempters in a general hospital may be influenced by the condition of the patient and the unfavorable circumstances of the hospital environment. Aims: To determine whether the results of a reassessment at home shortly after discharge from hospital differ from the initial assessment in the hospital. Methods: In this prospective study, systematic assessment of 52 suicide attempters in a general hospital was compared with reassessment at home, shortly after discharge. Results: Reassessments at home concerning suicide intent, motives for suicide attempt, and dimensions of psychopathology did not differ significantly from the initial hospital assessment. However, patients’ motives for the suicide attempt had changed to being less impulsive and more suicidal, worrying was significantly higher, and self-esteem was significantly lower. A third of the patients had forgotten their aftercare arrangements and most patients who initially felt no need for additional help had changed their mind at reassessment. Conclusions: Results from this group of suicide attempters suggest that a brief reassessment at home shortly after discharge from hospital should be considered.
