"L'Avaro" di Marino Darsa Raguseo
No full textThe “most Ragusean” comedy of the Croatian playwright Marin Držić (Marino Darsa, Ragusa 1508- Venice 1567) is introduced in the context of the author’s production, underlining the relationships with classical theatre, with Humanistic-Renaissance culture and with 1500s Ragusean reality. Being able to interact both with tradition and contemporary society at His times, Marin Držić (Marino Darsa) is today worth of being defined as a “modern classic”
Nessuno ha voluto vedere
No full textIl presente volume riporta la traduzione italiana dell'intera raccolta di poesie di Bruna Mitrano, Ninguém quis ver, e consta anche di una prefazione dal titolo "Vedere, nominare, restituire. Intervista con Bruna Mitrano" (pp. 7-20) e una postfazione (un commento critico-letterario) dal titolo "Dire tutto quello che “Nessuno ha voluto vedere”. La poesia come eredità e testimonianza in Bruna Mitrano" (pp. 167-217) entrambe a cura di Sofia Morabito (la traduttrice)
Dai batteri a Bach di Daniel C. Dennett
No full textFausto Caruana, Carmela Morabito and Simone Pollo discuss Daniel Dennett’s From Bacteria to Bach and Back. The authors critically survey the book and discuss some of its key topics from different theoretical viewpoints. Caruana analyzes Dennett’s reconstruction of the evolution of mind moving some critical suggestions derived from the pragmatist tradition in philosophy of mind. Morabito discusses some couples of opposing concepts used by Dennett and discusses his conclusion about the alternative between bottom-up and top-down processes in the evolution of mind. Pollo equally tackles Dennett’s opposition between bottom-up and top-down processes as it is presented in Dennett’s account of the evolution human culture and the presumed withdrawal of human civilization from Darwinian processes
L'aspirante gentiluomo - O fidalgo aprendiz
No full textNel 1665 Francisco Manuel de Melo dava alle stampe le sue Obras Métricas, all'interno delle quali pubblica la sua Farsa do Fidalg Aprendiz, redatta probabilmente attorno al 1646, mentre era incarcerato. Si presenta ora una nuova versione italiana (dpo quella di Poppa Vòlture del 1958), in ottonari. Il lavoro è condotto a quattro mani: a Valeria Tocco vanno ascritti i vv. 1-569, le poche note di supporto e la revisione finale; a Sofia Morabito (oltre all'introduzione), la traduzione dei vv. 570-1065.
La traduzione ha vinto il primo premio al PREMIO CLARIS APPIANI 2019 per la traduzione letterari
Big data and analytics: strategic and organizational impacts
No full textNotwithstanding the interest and the hype that surround Big Data as a key trend as
well the claimed business potentiality that it may offer the coupling with a new
breed of analytics, the phenomenon has been yet not fully investigated from a
strategic and organizational perspective. Indeed, at the moment of writing this book,
apart from a series of articles that appeared on the Harvard Business review by
McAfee and Brynjolfsson (2012) and on MIT Sloan Management Review by
Lavalle et al. (2011) and Davenport et al. (2012), most of the published monographic
contributions concern technical, computational, and engineering facets of
Big Data and analytics, or oriented toward high-level societal as well as general
audience business analyses.
An early joint academics-practitioners effort to provide a unified and comprehensive
perspective has been carried out by the White Paper resulting from joint
multidisciplinary contributions of more than 130 participants from 26 countries at
the World Summit on Big Data and Organization Design held in Paris at the
Université Panthéon-Sorbonne during May 16–17, 2013 (Burton et al. 2014).
However, it is worth to be mentioned that since 2013 new editorial initiatives have
been launched such as, e.g., the Big Data journal (Dumbill 2013). Thus, following
up the insights discussed in (Morabito 2014), the present book aims to fill the gap,
providing a strategic and organizational perspective on Big Data and analytics,
identifying the challenges, ideas, and trends that may represent “food for thought”
to practitioners. Accordingly, each topic considered will be analyzed in its technical
and managerial aspects, also through the use of case studies and examples. Thus,
while relying on academic production as well, the book aims to describe problems
from the viewpoints of managers, adopting a clear and easy-to-understand
language, in order to capture the interests of top managers and graduate students.
Consequently, this book is unique for its intention to synthesize, compare, and
comment on major challenges and approaches to Big Data and analytics, being a
simple yet ready to consult toolbox for both managers and scholars.
In what follows we provide a brief overview, based on our previous work as well
(Morabito 2014), on Big Data drivers and characteristics suitable to introduce their
discussion also with regard to analyti
A continuous-time spiking neural network paradigm
No full textIn this work, a novel continuous-time spiking neural network
paradigm is presented. Indeed, because of a neuron can fire at any given
time, this kind of approach is necessary. For the purpose of developing a
simulation tool having such a property, an ad-hoc event-driven method is
implemented. A simplified neuron model is introduced with characteristics
similar to the classic Leaky Integrate-and-Fire model, but including the
spike latency effect. The latency takes into account that the firing of a
given neuron is not instantaneous, but occurs after a continuous-time
delay. Both excitatory and inhibitory neurons are considered, and simple
synaptic plasticity rules are modeled. Nevetheless the chance to customize
the network topology, an example with Cellular Neural Network (CNN)-
like connections is presented, and some interesting global effects emerging
from the simulations are reporte
