3D Reconstruction and Intelligent Digital Conservation of Ancient Buildings Based on Laser Point Cloud Data by Yahui Qiu

“…To improve the level of ancient building conservation, this article uses LiDAR point cloud data to collect ancient building data, extracts 3D spatial location information from multisource remote sensing optical stereo images, restores 3D spatial structure information of buildings from LiDAR point cloud data, conducts optimized topology research work, jointly extracts 3D spatial information of buildings with structural constraints, and compares the collected data with the original data. The research results show that the traditional data collection method has a large error of about 10%, while the data collected by LiDAR (LiDAR) point cloud data in this article is close to the original data. …”

Entre el desarrollo económico y la apropiación cultural. Apuntes para el debate sobre la valorización de alimentos emblemáticos by Daniel de Jesús Contreras, Irma Luz Ramírez De la O, Humberto Thomé Ortiz

“…Se observa que el acto de valorizar los alimentos, no necesariamente representa el conjunto de valores involucrados en su contexto original de producción. Se concluye que la valorización puede prestarse para reducir el universo semiológico original de los alimentos mediante un proceso de instrumentalización de los valores como atributos diferenciadores orientados al mercado, lo que conduciría a un disputa entre los actores internos y externos involucrados en procesos de desarrollo basados en la valoriza- ción de alimentos emblemáticos.…”
