A new hybrid approach for forecasting of daily stock market time series data
Get PDFIn recent years, many researchers have focused on forecasting financial time series data, especially stock market data. Stock market data possesses so many features that forecasting may be very challenging. In the present study, a hybrid of two methodologies is proposed, which is the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and the Random Walk (RW) in order to enhance the stock market forecasting performance, denoted by (EMD-RW). The advantage of EMD-RW is its ability to forecast nonlinear and nonstationary stock market data without the need to use some transformation method or differencing a time series technique. Moreover, the new proposed EMD-RW produced high-accuracy results. Ten stock market time series for ten different countries are used in this study to demonstrate the forecasting accuracy of the EMD-RW. Results using four forecasting accuracy functions display that EMD-RW forecasting accuracy is better than the four compared methods
Italian Palimpsest of M. Gorky’s Writings in Capri
Get PDFThe author of the article actualises the Italian genotext of A.M. Gorky’s creativity of the Capri period. Neither before nor after the work of “the Stormy Petrel of the Revolution” was characterised by such a joyful and “spiritually uplifting” worldview as it was on the island of Capri. Despite the fact that Gorky wrote about Russian life, his works of this period reveal an “Italian palimpsest”, which became the subject of analysis. Gorky’s works Confession (1907-1908), Summer (1909), Gorodok Okurov (1909-1910), The Life of Matvei Kozhemyakin (1910-1911) have not been analysed by researchers from the point of view of the Italian presence. The Italian palimpsest of Gorky’s Capri oeuvre was first brought to the attention of one of the first chroniclers of “Russian Capri”, the writer Alexei Zolotarev, who pointed out the main peculiarity of this period of the writer’s work, which still raises many questions for literary historians
Entre «lèpre nationaliste» et populisme: l’émergence d’une subjectivité politique pathogénique sur Twitter à travers les hashtags #JeSuisLépreux et #Lépreux
Get PDFIn a speech pronounced in Quimper on the 28th, June 2018, the French president Emmanuel Macron highlights the dangers of a “nationalist leprosy” that is spreading around Europe. The expression triggers polemic reactions on the social networks by those citizens who feel concerned by the metaphor and who create two militant hashtags (Husson, 2016): #JeSuisLépreux and #Lépreux to engage in a polemic against Emmanuel Macron. In this article, a corpus of 146 tweet collected from June 2018 until September 2022 where these hashtags can be found will be analysed through the lenses of French Discourse Analysis in order to answer the following research questions: first, what are the meanings linked to the “leprosy” by those users of Twitter who perceive themselves as the target of the metaphor? Second, why the “leprosy” metaphor does not seem to be an effective argumentation strategy and leads to the alienation of some individuals? Third, what are the risks in using this metaphor and the underlying metaphor that conceptualizes society as an organism (Schlanger, 1971[1995])? Two main positions emerge from the corpus, signalling two different ways of relating to the metaphor used by the French President: a set of users contest the equivalence that is posited between “nationalism” and “leprosy”, acknowledging the negative value attached to this last notion and reacting polemically to redefine their nationalist identity in more positive terms; other users appropriate the metaphor and resignify it in a positive light, thus rejecting the underlying transvalorisation (i.e., the transfer of the axiological values from the phore to the theme of the metaphor) that connotates a “leper” as a dangerous subject to be marginalized. These users claim for themselves an identity of “leper” as a form of belonging to the “people” as a homogeneous entity that is opposed to the elites, thus modifying the theme, and transforming the original reference to nationalism in an allusion to populism
Una miscellanea di ispirazione boeziana nell’Abbazia di Saint-Amand. Il ms. Valenciennes, Bibliothèque Municipale, 298
Get PDFThis essay aims to illustrate the case of a miscellaneous manuscript written at Saint-Amand abbey in the 11th century, whose collected texts, apparently heterogeneous, show on closer observation affinities of themes and inspiration. The hypothesis that is proposed is that the collection can be traced back - for many reasons - to a unique and well-defined personality, that of Folcuinus, a monk and prior of the same abbey, author of a poem of undoubted Boethian inspiration, in the form of a dialogue between a discipulus and a magistra or musa: Thalia
Mettersi nei panni (o nei piedi?) altrui e non stare nella pelle (o nei panni?). Su alcune varianti idiomatiche di empatia ed euforia
Get PDFThis article analyses the two idiomatic expressions ‘mettersi nei panni altrui’ and ‘non stare nella pelle’ alongside their variants ‘mettersi nei piedi altrui’ and ‘non stare nei panni’. It does so by observing the usage frequency of each form over centuries, with the twofold aim to ascertain which variant was originally more prevalent to express empathy and excitement, and to determine the period when it fell out of common usage. Whilst ‘mettersi nei piedi altrui’ is no longer in contemporary Italian usage, supplanted by the form ‘mettersi nei panni altrui’, the less common variant ‘non stare nei panni’ – which appears to be a more recent development compared to the form ‘non stare nella pelle’ – seems to persist in current usage. This survey has been conducted by using an assortment of resources, including textual databases such us LIZ, Corpus OVI, Primo Tesoro della lingua italiana del Novecento, and archives from Corriere della Sera, La Stampa, Repubblica, CoLiWEB and so on. The results that emerged from the analysis of these resources have been compared with references to these expressions attested in Italian dictionaries ranging from Crusca I (1612) to Nuovo Devoto-Oli (2023)
Neo-paremiologia pop nella letteratura generazionale degli anni Novanta
Get PDFIn the last decade of the 20th Century, the rapid development of communication, electronics and information technology decisively impacted on parts of the generational Italian literature. In the first half of the decade, logos, brands, TV catchphrases, advertising jingles, TV theme songs and all TV narratives were assimilated by generational literature. In the second half of the decade, on the other hand, the extra-literary audiovisual narratives are no longer merely mentioned in the texts, but it is the text itself that mimics their times, spaces and contents, giving rise to a "televisualised" literature, as also recalled by Enrico Brizzi in 1999. In both cases, punctual references to slogans, television calambours, characterising idioms borrowed from the small screen can be easily found. They enter into the everyday «sound del parlato» while the generational literature mimics their narrative gestures
