Life on board ship and cultural intimacy. Notes from the Central Mediterranean by Jasmine Iozzelli

“…Today, different “currents” – cultural, political, and symbolic – cross the Mediterranean. When they meet aboard seagoing vessels, these currents construct a highly diverse range of shared spaces.Exploring both the macro-structure and some of the micro-practices that constitute these spaces, I attempt to point up some of the contradictions – between humanitarian logic and activist demands, between efficiency and processes of dehumanization, between formal rationality and the unpredictability of events – that arise in the construction of a sense of belonging on board a large SAR ship.…”

Near-Optimal Efficient MIMO Receiver for Miniature UAV-IoT Communications by Anas Saci, Arafat Al-Dweik, Shihab Jimaa

“…The proposed detection scheme is achieved by exploiting the frequency and/or temporal correlation among the transmitted signals to directly extract the information symbols from the received signals. The results obtained show that the proposed scheme offers a significant advantage of approximately 15 dB performance gain compared to conventional linear detection schemes, even when such schemes are using perfect CSI. …”

Unfinished buildings, a new point of departure. Designing difference for a sustainable future by Maria Luisa Germanà, Francesca Anania

“…Contemporary unfinished buildings, which represent a widespread sort of abandoned built environment around the globe, have only recently shaken off the taboo to which they have been relegated by their inescapable condition as symbols of failure. The theoretical connotations attributed to them often fluctuate between the mystifying poles of exaltation and demonization; without discussing these, and looking at trends that can be identified in certain works over the last decades, the article aims to contribute to defining an analytical and design-based approach. …”
