Taking Citizen Science to Extremes: from the Arctic to the Rainforestmichalis_vitos
Citizen Science is hardly a new concept, but during the last decade it has seen a rise in both
academic and popular interest for the topic. This trend is in part driven by an increased
interest for open paradigms, as well as, Information Communication Technology (ICT)
innovations such as smartphones, mobile Internet and cloud computing. This has given
rise to the emergence of a growing and highly diverse crop of new – and often innovative –
initiatives that are being, or could be, labelled as Citizen Science.
Whilst there are often big differences between projects, for instance when it comes to
power relations – “Who is working for who?” – or the determination of goals and outcomes
– “Who is solving whose problems?” – there is hope that, at the very least, this rediscovery
of citizen science might lead to a renewed mutual interest, and perhaps understanding,
between scientists and the general public.
Most citizen science initiatives are set in affluent areas of the world, and by and large they
target an educated, or at least literate, public. Extreme Citizen Science aspires to extend the
reach and potential of citizen science beyond this restricted context and is defined as:
Extreme Citizen Science is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local
needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build
new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world.
In this presentation, we are going to explore the various ExCiteS projects that span from the
Arctic – where we aim to develop tools grounded in the needs of Yupik and Iñupiaq coastal
subsistence hunters who are adapting to the rapidly changing climate – to the Congo basin
rainforest – where we enable marginalised and forest communities to better to share their
vast environmental knowledge more effectively locally and with other regional, national and
global stakeholders.
We aim to design, develop, evaluate and deploy a generic platform that enables people with
no or limited literacy – in the strict and broader technological sense – to use smartphones
and tablets to collect, share, and analyse (spatial) data along with a methodology for
introducing, engaging and empowering marginalised communities to participate in and
benefit from citizen science. The platform is and will be used in a variety of concrete
projects, often related to environmental monitoring. Ultimately the goal is to let
communities build so-called Community Memories: evolving, shared representations of the
state of their environment, their relationship with it, and any threats it faces.

Linked Open Data (LOD) has gained significant momentum over the past years as a best practice of promoting the sharing and publi- cation of structured data on the semantic Web. Currently LOD is reach- ing significant adoption also in Public Administrations (PAs), where it is often required to be connected to existing platforms, such as GIS-based data management systems. Bearing on previous experience with the pi- oneering data.cnr.it, through Semantic Scout, as well as the Agency for Digital Italy recommendations for LOD in Italian PA, we are working on the extraction, publication, and exploitation of data from the Geographic Information System of the Municipality of Catania, referred to as SIT (“Sistema Informativo Territoriale”). The goal is to boost the metropolis towards the route of a modern Smart City by providing prototype inte- grated solutions supporting transport, public health, urban decor, and social services, to improve urban life. In particular a mobile application focused on real-time road traffic and public transport management is currently under development to support sustainable mobility and, espe- cially, to aid the response to urban emergencies, from small accidents to more serious disasters. This paper describes the results and lessons learnt from the first work campaign, aiming at analyzing, reengineering, linking, and formalizing the Shape-based geo-data from the SIT.

ANALYSIS OF THE REMOTELY SENSED WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS OF THE INSUBRIC LAKE...Maria Antonia Brovelli
Lakes are a fundamental component of the environment and the territory and represent a precious source of fresh water for various
uses. The area of the Prealps north of the Po valley in Italy is characterized by the presence of lakes which represent almost 80%
of the total volume of fresh water in Italy (Rogora et al., 2018). The Insubric lakes (Lugano, Maggiore and Como) have their
shared basins between Italy and Switzerland, and they are the objective of the SIMILE project, a cross-border Italian-Swiss Interreg project
that aims to improve their coordinated management and strengthen stakeholder participation in the processes of knowledge and
monitoring of water resources by analyzing data acquired from in-situ to satellite sensors. The present work
refers to data collected by remote sensing methods which offer the possibility to obtain synoptic views of water bodies to monitor
water quality parameters (WQPs) such as the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), the total suspended matter (TSM) and the lake surface water
temperature (LSWT). This work presents an extensive evaluation of the space-time trends of the parameters
based on the SIMILE remote sensing database.
Authors: Alessandro Austoni, Juan Francisco Amieva, Mariano Bresciani and Maria Antonia Brovelli
SIMILE (Informative System for the Integrated Monitoring of Insubric Lakes and their Ecosystems) is a project financed by the Interreg Italy-Switzerland 2014-2021 program. It involves partners from the scientific and technical sector (Politecnico di Milano – Lecco Campus; Fondazione Politecnico; Water Research Institute - National Research Council; SUPSI - University of Applied Sciences and Arts of; Southern Switzerland) and from the institutional sector (Lombardy Region; Ticino Canton) working in synergy. The main project goal is the protection of water quality for Lugano, Maggiore and Como lakes through a geoinformatic coordination of existing monitoring systems with new data collection methods. Images from European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinels will be integrated with high frequency sensors, placed on buoys and floating platforms, and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) produced with a Citizen Science approach. This virtual cycle is described in the presentation.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

3. 3 The Digital Earth/ 1
The vision of Digital Earth (DE) was proposed by Al Gore in 1998 as
a multi-dimensional and multi-resolution model of the planet to
contextualize the huge amount of geo-referenced information
relating to the physic and social-economic environment.
Every day we create 1018 bytes of data and the 80% are geo-referenced
or geo-referenceable data. It is an amazing amount of
data that corresponds every day to a stack of DVDs covering the
earth-moon distance. Fixed and mobile in-situ sensors (on satellite,
aircraft, UAVs, ...), digital documents, social media contribute to
create the Big Data in real time, we need to extract the useful piece of
information from in real time to meet today's challenges. The issue
was the acquisition of the data in the past. Now it is the smart
management to extract useful information.

The Digital Earth/ 2
• The Digital Earth is a set of distributed, multi-thematic, multi-resolution
and multi-perspective archives of geo-referenced
knowledge that
allows to navigate not only through space but also through time,
thanks to the access to historical data as well as to the future
predictions based on the environmental and/or social-economic
models;
responds to the needs of different stakeholders: Scientists,
Decision Makers, Communities, Citizens, Children ...
• The Digital Earth is based on the open access and participation
(Geoweb2.0, Science2.0, ...) through multi-platforms.
• According to this paradigm, it will be possible - through both current
devices (computer, tablet, smartphone) and new devices (not
invented yet) – to access data, information, services, models,
scenarios and forecasts: from simple applications to complex
analysis related to the environmental and socio-economic issues.
GEO Laboratory, Politecnico di Milano – Como Campus
5. 5 The Internet of Places
Objects (or things) will be connected and communicate
through the network (we expect to have 26 billion devices
connected within 2020) and, according to their location and
time, they will react in different ways. The space-time field
will model the Internet of Places, together with the Internet
of People, the Internet of Information and the Internet of
Things.
GEO Laboratory, Politecnico di Milano – Como Campus
6. 6 The Internet of Everything
… The Internet of Things is becoming the Internet of Everything.
Although much of the hype has been around things becoming part of
the Internet, the additive power of the Internet comes into play when
things, people, places and systems work together. …
This describes a concept Gartner calls the "Internet of Everything."
The Internet of Things is just one piece of this concept — alongside
the Internet of People (such as social networks or IM presence), the
Internet of Places (such as Foursquare or any location that can
broadcast information about itself), and the Internet of Information (for
example, the World Wide Web, or systems that can share information
through APIs or Web services)..
