Non-parametric Kernel Estimation of Weighted Dynamic Cumulative Past Inaccuracy Measure Based on Censored Data
No full textThe inaccuracy measure has recently become a valuable tool for detecting errors in experimental data. This measure applies only when random variables have density functions. To circumvent this constraint, the cumulative inaccuracy measure is a commonly used alternative measure of inaccuracy in the literature. When the observations generated by a stochastic process are recorded using a weight function, weighted distributions are established. Based on right-censored dependent data, we provide a nonparametric estimate for the weighted dynamic cumulative past inaccuracy measure in this study. The proposed estimator’s asymptotic characteristics have been examined, and its performance demonstrated through simulated and real-world data sets
Il legame tra i vivi e l’Aldilà: i frontespizi imperiali del Codex Aureus di Spira e il san Pietro di Gertrude nel Salterio di Egberto
No full textBonding is recognized as a peculiar property of the arts aging in Medieval societies, this is also true in a more spiritualized sense. This paper investigates the intervention of Greek-Byzantine painters in two eleventh-century Western manuscripts: the mid-eleventh century Speyer Codex Aureus and Egbert’s Psalter, specifically the folia gertrudiana. The former is hinting to the glorified appearance of the ones to whom the earthly Kingdom/Empire and the sovereigns’ eternal life was bounded. As for the latter, St. Peter catalyses the pleas and expectations of Gertrude, working as a powerful link between the living and the dead.Il legame è riconosciuto come una proprietà peculiare delle arti nelle società medievali, questo è vero anche in un senso più spirituale. Il presente lavoro indaga l’intervento dei pittori greco-bizantini in due manoscritti occidentali dell’XI secolo: il Codex Aureus di Spira, della metà dell’XI secolo, e il Salterio di Egberto, in particolare i folia gertrudiana. Il primo allude alla glorificazione di coloro ai quali era legato il Regno/Impero terreno e la vita eterna dei sovrani. Nel secondo caso, san Pietro catalizza le suppliche e le aspettative di Gertrude, operando come un potente collegamento tra i vivi e i morti
Connessioni d’alabastro tra Medioevo e Rinascimento: una pala d'altare inglese per i Servi di Maria a Cascina
No full textThe altar frontal of Cascina, crafted circa 1480 in England and acquired in 1540 by Fra’ Fabiano of the Servants of Mary, is among the most renowned creations of medieval English alabasters preserved in Italy and the sole example in the nation to exhibit a direct association with its patron. The contribution aims to highlight a network of dynamics triggered by the Protestant Reformation in England on the workshop organisation and the diffusion of these artefacts in the rest of Europe in connection with the artistic and cultic needs expressed in the same period by mendicant orders and lay confraternities.Il paliotto d’altare di Cascina, realizzato intorno al 1480 in Inghilterra e acquistato nel 1540 da fra’ Fabiano dei Servi di Maria, è una delle opere più note della vasta produzione di alabastri inglesi medievali conservati in Italia e l’unica nel nostro paese a mostrare una diretta connessione con il committente. Il contributo si propone di evidenziare una rete di dinamiche che la riforma protestante in Inghilterra innesca sull’organizzazione di bottega e sulla diffusione di questi manufatti nel resto d’Europa in connessione con le esigenze artistiche e cultuali espresse nello stesso periodo da ordini mendicanti e confraternite laicali
OpenStreetMap e la sua applicazione ai monumental studies: un’opportunità per la digital public history? Esempi quantitativi e riflessioni metodologiche
No full textThe following essay would like to provide a tool that can become a reference standard in the field of monumental studies. At a time when there is an increased attention of both historiography and public debate to the subject of monuments and place names, it is considered appropriate to try to reflect about a replicable method of extracting easy-to-understand data. To this purpose, the study and use of OpenStreetMap, as a collaborative mapping project with more than 11 million active users, and Overpass, a web API from which it is possible to obtain data entered by contributors, prove useful, if not indispensable. It is precisely Overpass that provides digital historians with the possibility of entering, extracting and analysing data according to the tags of interest and the area under investigation, in the most suitable format. In order to promote its use and give some examples, some guidelines will be described and put into practice.Il seguente saggio vorrebbe fornire uno strumento che possa divenire uno standard di riferimento nei monumental studies. In un momento in cui vi è una maggiore attenzione sia della storiografia sia del dibattito pubblico al tema dei monumenti e dell’odonomastica, si ritiene opportuno provare a ragionare intorno a un metodo replicabile di estrazione di dati di semplice comprensione. A tal fine, si rivelano utili, se non indispensabili, lo studio e il ricorso a OpenStreetMap, in quanto progetto di collaborative mapping con più di 11 milioni di utenti attivi, e a Overpass, web API da cui è possibile avere i dati inseriti dai contribuenti. È proprio Overpass a mettere a disposizione dei digital historian la possibilità di inserire, estrarre e analizzare dati a seconda dei tag di interesse e della zona in esame, nel formato più adatto. Se ne vorrebbero descrivere alcune linee guida al fine di promuoverne l’utilizzo e dare qualche esempio
Revision of Collema Weber Ex. F.H. Wigg. Genus of Turkiye
No full textMany lichens flora studies have been carried out within the borders of Türkiye, and as a result of these studies, a total of 35 taxa, including 25 species, 9 varieties and 1 subspecies, belonging to the genus Collema, have been identified. As a result of the studies, the categories of 28 taxa have been changed and they have been transferred to other genera. As a result of our work, samples were collected from 200 stations. Collema taxa were found in 54 of these stations. Taxa belonging to the genus Collema are C. nigrescens, C. furfuraceum from 12 locations, C. subnigrescens from 10 locations, C. subflaccidum from 7 locations, C. flaccidum from 5 locations, C. ryssoleum from 3 locations, and C. texanum var. texanum from 1 location collected. When taxa transferred from Collema to other genera are taken into consideration, the 4 most common taxa are Lathagrium cristatum (90), Enchlium tenax (75), Blantholla crispa (72) and L. auriforme (50)
Formation of environmental competence of students of higher education
No full textIn the contemporary context, pressing environmental challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation, necessitate the refinement of professional training programs for prospective biology teachers. The present article expounds upon a model of ecological competence formation that integrates theoretical, practical, and reflective components. The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy of this proposed model in the educational process. The study was conducted employing an experimental design, with a sample of 88 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental groups exhibited a marked increase in environmental knowledge, values, and skills when compared to the control groups. These findings substantiate the efficacy of the proposed model as an instrumental medium for fostering ecological competence. The model's notable adaptability underscores its capacity for integration into diverse educational contexts. Conclusively, the study underscores the imperative of leveraging the model in the pedagogy of prospective educators to address pressing environmental challenges
L’appréhension de l’intelligence artificielle par la fiscalité française
No full textThe application of GTP4 Chat has opened up new and more intense possibilities for the application of artificial intelligence At the same time, the possibility of acquiring new and more information in a difficult balance between greater administrative efficiency and the necessary respect for the privacy of personal data The use of artificial intelligence procedures has become massive on the part of the Ministry of Finance, but the corresponding applications have been of a varied experimental nature. The consequences of this technological revolution on tax procedures and its necessary legal framework, both by the legislator and by the independent administrative authorities (in particular the CNIL) and the courts, have yet to materialise.L’application du Chat GTP4 a ouvert des possibilités nouvelles et plus intenses pour l’application de l’intelligence artificielle Dans le même temps, la possibilité d’acquérir des informations nouvelles et plus nombreuses dans un équilibre difficile à trouver entre une plus grande efficacité administrative et le respect nécessaire de la vie privée des données personnelles L’utilisation de procédures d’intelligence artificielle est devenue massive de la part du ministère des finances, mais les applications correspondantes ont été de nature diversement expérimentale. Reste encore à matérialiser les conséquences de cette révolution technologique sur les procédures fiscales et son nécessaire encadrement juridique tant par le législateur que par les autorités administratives indépendantes (notamment la CNIL) et les juridictions
Representing and Visualizing Archaeology. The Contribution of Graphic Sciences to Research in Archaeology
No full textThis article discusses the role of images in archaeological disciplines and the contribution that graphic sciences can make to research in this subject area. In archaeology, and not only, ‘visualization’ differs significantly from the more commonly used noun ‘representation.’ In this sense, archaeological visualization is a practice of reconstructing and understanding the past rather than documenting and representing only the material remains that have come down to us. From archaeological drawing to virtual reality, numerous techniques and tools from the graphic sciences are applied in archaeology. Some of these can now be ascribed to the disciplinary tools, while others fall outside the specific skills of the archaeologist and require interaction with the disciplines deputed to visualization and, thus, with the graphic sciences. In order to better understand the difference between visualization and representation in archaeology, the article uses prenuragic altar of Monte d’Accoddi as a case study to focus on the creation of different graphic-visual products starting from the same model, in order to demonstrate the role of different graphic artefacts
