Abstract. This paper describes the methodology employed in 2020 to perform the 3D survey of the Tomb TT214 at Deir al-Medina (Egypt). The aim of the archaeological mission was to integrate the evidence collected in the past on this tomb with a fresh survey a detailed study of some of its elements and an evaluation of its needs in terms of conservation. In order to achieve this result, the collapse that blocked the entrance to the burial chamber had to be removed, the courtyard was cleared, and the decorated walls and blocks were inspected and surveyed. Digital imaging was used to document all these phases and portions of the work. The aim of the survey team was to identify the most efficient combination of tools and methods to be used during these logistically complex operations, during which it was necessary to coordinate the work of various specialists and of the workmen, as well as to negotiate with the environmental difficulties and constrains. The survey was conducted at two scales, one for the architecture of the funerary complex and one for minute details such as inscriptions and decorations. Beside the routine process, both sets of data underwent a further level of elaboration, in order to extract and highlight further information. The final result of the survey was a navigable 3D model able to produce different outputs, all designed to support the archaeologists on the field and during the post-fieldwork phase of the elaboration of the results. The elaboration of such an integrated model may be paired to the progressive construction of a Digital Twin, a term born from the manufacturing and industrial realm but that may be successfully exported into the archaeological realm.

Abstract Reconstruction of the complex anatomy and aesthetics of the midface is often a challenge. A careful understanding of this three-dimensional (3D) structure is necessary. Anticipating the extent of excision and its planning following oncological resections is critical.In the past over two decades, with the advances in microsurgical procedures, contributions toward the reconstruction of this area have generated interest. Planning using digital imaging, 3D printed models, osseointegrated implants, and low-profile plates, has favorably impacted the outcome. However, there are still controversies in the management: to use single composite tissues versus multiple tissues; implants versus autografts; vascularized versus nonvascularized bone; prosthesis versus reconstruction.This article explores the present available options in maxillary reconstruction and outlines the approach in the management garnered from past publications and experiences.

Abstract. Rebuilding the past of cultural heritage through digitization, archiving and visualization by means of digital technology is becoming an emerging issue to ensure the transmission of physical and digital documentation to future generations as evidence of culture, but also to enable present generation to enlarge, facilitate and cross relate data and information in new ways. In this global effort, the digital 3D documentation of no longer existing cultural heritage can be essential for the understanding of past events and nowadays, various digital techniques and tools are developing for multiple purposes.In the present research the entire workflow, starting from archive documentation collection and digitization to the 3D models metrically controlled creation and online sharing, is considered. The technical issues to obtain a detail 3D model are examined stressing limits and potentiality of 3D reconstruction of disappeared heritage and its visualization exploiting three complexes belonging to 1911 Turin World’s Fair.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The three-dimensional (3D) documentation and surveying of cultural heritage can be carried out following several geomatics techniques such as laser scanning and thermography in order to detect the original 3D shape after applying reverse engineering solutions. In almost all cases, the integration of data collected by different instruments is needed to achieve a successful and comprehensive 3D model of the as-built architectural shape of the historical building. This paper describes the operations carried out by the authors to determine the as-built 3D model of the Escuelas Pias Church, related namely to the dome and circular nave. After the description of the church and historical notes, attention will be driven to the indirect registration results obtained with three different laser scanning software packages, highlighting similarities and differences, and the consequences while generating meshes. The 3D model carried out will then be described and the results of some investigations with regard to the hypotheses about the design of the dome and the origin of the alterations will be presented.</p>

now a days in India there is a tremendous growth of those organizations which are connecting their consumable products with the religion. India is a country of multicultural, multifaith, a cluster of different customs, language etc.The purpose of this paper is to elucidate its reader in general and to the marketers and organizations as a whole on faith marketing.In a society overrun by commercial clutter, religion has become yet another product sold in the consumer market. Faiths of all kinds must compete not only with each other, but with auncountable of more enjoyable and more suitable leisure activities. The researcher tries to shows how religious branding has expanded over the past few decades in India to create a mixed world of commerce and faith where the holy becomes secular and the secular holy. Organizations dealing in faith marketing are having a tremendous growth in few years.The paper is also an attempt to establish the theoretical demarcation of the term faith marketing. The term faith marketing has caused controversy. There are two streams: that of the theologians, on one hand and that of the marketers, on the other hand.  Marketers have their own view regarding the application of marketing into the faith sphere. The article tries to emphasise the necessity to adapt the religious organizations activities and the ways they must be presented to the society’s actual characteristics. This can be achieved by using appropriate marketing tools and methods; however, the particularities of religion must be taken into account in order not to alter its faith values.

The Tower of Belém, an early 16th century defense tower located at the mouth of the Tagus river, is the iconic symbol of Lisbon. It belongs to the Belém complex, classified since 1983 as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, and it is the second most visited monument in Portugal. On November 1st, 1755, there was a heavy earthquake in Lisbon followed by a tsunami, causing between 60,000 and 100,000 deaths. There is a possibility of a repetition of such a catastrophe, which could bring about the collapse of the structure. This was the reasoning behind the decision to evaluate the Tower of Belém by means of surveys using Terrestrial Laser Scanning and photogrammetry. Until now, there was no high-resolution 3D model of the interior and exterior of the tower. A complete 3D documentation of the state of the Tower was achieved with a cloud of more than 6,200 million 3D points in the ETRS89 PT-TM06 coordinate system. Additionally, measurements were made using a hyperspectral camera and a spectroradiometer to characterize the stone material used in the Tower. The result is a digital 3D representation of the Tower of Belém, and the identification of the quarries that may have been used to extract its stone. The work carried out combines geometrical and material analysis. The methods used may constitute a guide when documenting and intervening in similar heritage elements. Finally, the information contained therein will allow an eventual reconstruction of the Tower in the case of another catastrophe.

<p>It is ironic that the management of education has become more closed while learning has become more open, particularly over the past 10-20 years. The curriculum has become more instrumental, predictive, standardized, and micro-managed in the belief that this supports employability as well as the management of educational processes, resources, and value. Meanwhile, people have embraced interactive, participatory, collaborative, and innovative networks for living and learning. To respond to these challenges, we need to develop <em>practical tools to help us describe these new forms of learning</em> which are multivariate, self-organised, complex, adaptive, and unpredictable. We draw on complexity theory and our experience as researchers, designers, and participants in open and interactive learning to go beyond conventional approaches. We develop a 3D model of landscapes of learning for exploring the relationship between prescribed and emergent learning in any given curriculum. We do this by repeatedly testing our descriptive landscapes (or footprints) against theory, research, and practice across a range of case studies. By doing this, we have not only come up with a practical tool which can be used by curriculum designers, but also realised that the curriculum itself can usefully be treated as emergent, depending on the dynamics<br />between prescribed and emergent learning and how the learning landscape is curated.</p>

My aim in this article is to show the usefulness of pragmatics for translation analysis and, tentatively, translation training. The tools and methods developed by pragmatics in the past four decades are particularly useful for the analysis of dialogue and, more generally, face-to-face interaction. Therefore, a source text is chosen which displays a rich and intricate web of personal and social relations, and whose dialogues strike a delicate balance between what is spoken and unspoken, said and implied. Jane Austen’s Emma is compared with three Italian target texts in order to verify if that web and that balance are kept, erased, or altered in translation: the results are, perhaps not surprisingly, mixed, and demonstrate that a knowledge of the pragmatics of face-to-face interaction can be of great advantage to the translator of Emma.

Sustainable building design has become a hot topic over the past decades. Many standards, databases, and tools have been developed for achieving a sustainable building. Not until recently have the importance of structural engineering and its contribution to sustainable building design been full recognised. However, due to the highly fragmented and diversity of knowledge across building and infrastructure domains, there is a lack of approach that can address all the sustainable issues within the structural design. This paper reviews the sustainable design from the perspective of structural engineering: (1) reviewing the current situation; (2) identifying the gaps and difficulties; and (3) making recommendations for future improvements. The strategies and indicators, as well as BIM-enabled methodology, for sustainable structural design (SSD) are also discussed in a holistic way. The results of this investigation show that most of the methods are not doing well in terms of delivering a successful sustainable structural design. It is expected that the future BIM could probably provide such a platform to address these issues.

Over the past several years, a number of publications listing best practices and guidelines for scanning have emerged from institutions engaged in digital imaging projects. Many of these guidelines are well written and have contributed significantly to understanding the imaging process; however, they are by nature institution-specific and often reflect local needs and decisions. Fortunately, we now have a series of guides that address issues of quality in a broad context. The

Perkembangan zaman akan mengubah citra dan simbol Malioboro. Citra kawasan yang dulunya asri dan nyaman itu sekarang berubah menjadi semrawut dan tidak nyaman lagi. Keadaan ini menstimulasi ide penciptaan karya bahwa ruang publik Malioboro yang semrawut dan tidak nyaman itu dipersonifikasikan sebagai rumah besar yang ruang-ruangnya telah disekat-sekat layaknya kamar pribadi yang nyaman dengan kamar yang memiliki keunikan sendiri-sendiri. Konsep penciptaan dan perwujudan ini merupakan kumpulan objek imaji visual fotografi yang realistis untuk dikonstruksikan kembali dengan tujuan menghasilkan realitas imajiner. Pendekatan teori penciptaan ini adalah citra, konstruksi fotografi, dan makna. Proses eksperimentasi dan pembentukan karya diawali dari imaji-imaji visual fotografi yang dikumpulkan, diseleksi, dan direpresentasikan dengan citra objek kaum urban yang berjuang untuk hidup dan ruang cagar budaya yang terpinggirkan oleh bangunan modern di Malioboro melalui imaji visual fotografi. Imaji-imaji visual fotografi dari suatu realitas imaji masa lalu tersebut diimajinasikan ke masa yang akan datang untuk dikonstruksi kembali menjadi kesatuan dengan menggunakan teknik montase dan kolase digital imaging ke bentuk imajinasi visual fotografi yang imajinatif dan bernilai kreatif estetis untuk dimaknai kembali pada keadaan sekarang. Penciptaan karya ini tidak lagi berbicara tentang tataran teknis saja, namun juga berbicara tentang estetika, citra, tanda-tanda dan makna baru di dalamnya. Melalui penciptaan karya ini, masyarakat diharapkan dapat mengetahui citra, proses konstruksi, penyajian penciptaan karya, dan makna yang dihadirkan kembali dari perwujudan imaji ke bentuk karya imajinasi visual fotografi yang bernilai kreatif estetis. Karya imajinasi visual fotografi ini diharapkan menjadi media untuk mengungkapkan perasaan atau ekspresi dan emosi estetis pencipta dalam bentuk parodi visual. Penciptaan ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat untuk memperkaya khazanah citra/imaji/makna baru dan untuk membangun rasa memiliki serta kesadaran akan permasalahan tata kehidupan dan tata ruang Malioboro sekarang ini.AbstractImage and Symbols of Malioboro in the Construction of Photography. Change of time will change the image and symbol of Malioboro. The image of this area that once was beautiful and comfortable now has changed into a chaotic and an uncomfortable one. This situation has stimulated an idea of creating artworks that the public space of Malioboro which is chaotic and uncomfortable is personified as a big house with separated rooms as in private bedrooms with their own uniqueness. The concept of the creation and the embodiment is a compilation of objects from photography visual images, which are realistic to be reconstructed with the aim of generating an imaginary reality. The approach for this creation is a photography construction’s image and its meaning. The processes of experimentation and the formation of the works were started with the visual images of photography which were collected, selected, and represented with the images of urban people who struggle to live there and the cultural heritage which is marginalized by modern buildings in Malioboro through visual images of photography. Visual images of photography from the past reality of those images were imagined into the future time to be reconstructed as a unity by using techniques of montage and collage in digital imaging which would transform them into creative and aesthetic photography visual imagination to be reinterpreted in recent time. This creation does not only articulate the technique itself, but also to articulate the aesthetics, images, signs and new meanings in them. Through this creation, society is expected to know the images, the construction process, the presentation, and the meaning which are brought back from the visualization of images to the form of creative and aesthetic photography visual imagination. It is expected to be a media to express the artist’s aesthetic feeling and emotion in the form of visual parody. This creation is expected to be beneficial in enriching the corpus of new images/meanings and to raise the sense of belonging as well as awareness of the problem of life order and the spatial layout of current Malioboro.
