The downfall of the Romanov dynasty - history and myths
No full textopenIl focus principale di questo studio è analizzare i fatti storici dell'ultima dinastia Romanov in confronto con il punto di vista popolare della nostra società riguardo a questa potente famiglia, concentrandosi in particolare sulla percezione mitica basata sulla serie televisiva Netflix "Gli Ultimi Zar".
L'analisi inizia con una rapida panoramica dell'intera dinastia Romanov, narrando le sue origini fino all'ultima famiglia, quella di Nicola II. In dettaglio, questa tesi mira a sottolineare gli eventi principali e le ragioni più importanti che hanno portato al crollo dell'Impero Romanov, prendendo in considerazione i fatti sociali, economici, politici e culturali. Grande attenzione è riservata anche al regno di Nicola II, alla sua famiglia e alla sua complicata relazione con il monaco Rasputin.
Inoltre, utilizzando la serie televisiva "Gli Ultimi Zar" come punto di riferimento per la percezione mitica della famiglia russa, questa tesi si propone di navigare attraverso le credenze più popolari sulla dinastia, in particolare sul suo declino, la morte degli ultimi Romanov e il loro regno nel complesso.
Ciò che siamo in grado di trarre da questo studio è che la storia di questa maestosa famiglia è generalmente percepita così come lo è stata, senza molte malinterpretazioni riguardo ai fatti storici e ai protagonisti stessi.
L'unica cosa che lascia alcune persone in dubbio è la morte effettiva di tutti i membri dei Romanov, ponendo un grande punto interrogativo sul crollo di questa dinastia; a causa di ciò, sono iniziate a circolare libri, film, serie televisive e speculazioni, rendendo questa famiglia russa, ancora oggi, una delle famiglie più popolari e discusse in tutto il mondo.The main focus of this study is to analyze the historical facts of the last Romanov dynasty in comparison to the popular point of view of our society in regards to this powerful family, specifically basing the mythical perception on the Netflix tv series “The Last Czars”.
The analysis starts by making a rapid overview of the entirety of the Romanov dynasty, narrating its origins all the way to the last family, Nicholas II’s family. More in detail, this thesis aims to underline the major events and most important reasons that lead to the fall of the Romanov empire, taking into consideration the social, economical, political and cultural facts. A great deal of attention is also reserved to Nicholas II’s reign, his family and his complicated relationship with the monk Rasputin.
Furthermore, using the tv series “The Last Czars” as a landmark for the mythical perception of the Russian family, this thesis aims to navigate through the most popular beliefs about the dynasty, specifically its fall, the last Romanovs’ death and their reign as a whole.
What we are able to evaluate from this study is that the story of this majestic family is usually perceived the way it was, without much misconceptions regarding the historical facts and the protagonists of the facts themselves.
The only thing leaving some people in doubt is the actual death of all the Romanov members, putting a big question mark on the fall of this dynasty; because of this, many more books, films, tv series and speculations started to get around, making this Russian family, even today, one of the most popular and discussed families in the whole world
Filmske adaptacije nekaterih avstralskih romanov
No full textOsrednja tema pričujočega diplomskega dela je prenos štirih avstralskih romanov na filmska platna, oziroma njihove adaptacije. Natančneje gre za naslednje romane: Piknik pri Hanging Rocku, pisateljice Joan Lindsay, V središču viharja, Nobelovega nagrajenca Patricka Whita, Oscar in Lucinda, dvakratnega Bookerjevega nagrajenca Petra Careyja ter Moja sijajna kariera pisateljice Miles Franklin. V procesu snemanja filma po knjižni predlogi lahko med njima nastane precej razlik. Nekateri deli romana (npr. vsebina in liki) so v filmu spremenjeni, okrnjeni ali dodani. Diplomsko delo pobližje predstavi avstralsko književnost ter film, naredi kratek pregled tipologij adaptacij, ključni del pa predstavlja analiza romanov in njihovih filmskih adaptacij. Ugotovljene razlike in podobnosti ne vplivajo na kakovost filmske priredbe in dokaj zvesto podajajo vsebino romana v filmski obliki.The central subject of the present thesis is the adaptation of four australian novels into film. Specifically it is about following novels: Picnic at Hanging Rock, of australian author Joan Lindsay, The eye of the storm of Nobel laureate Patrick White and Oscar and Lucinda of Peter Carey, who has won the Booker prize twice and My brilliant career written by Miles Franklin. During the process of making a film based on a novel, many changes appear. Parts of the novel like characters and subplots, are sometimes changed, subtracted or added. The thesis in more details discusses australian literature and film, typologies of adaptations, the key part in thesis discusses analysis of novels and their movie adaptations. The established differences and similarities do not affect the quality of the adaptation and the film relatively faithfully transfers the story in a different form

Observation of the cosmic ray shadow of the Sun with the ANTARES neutrino telescope
No full textOne of the main goals of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is the search for point-like neutrino sources. Hence, a reliable method to estimate both the angular resolution and the pointing accuracy of the detector is needed. In this poster we present the study of the Sun "shadow" effect: the shadow is the deficit in the atmospheric muon flux in the direction of the Sun induced by the absorption of the primary cosmic rays. The analysis is based on the ANTARES data sample taken between 2008 and 2017. The Sun shadow effect has been observed with 3.9 statistical significance and the angular resolution of the telescope for downward-going atmospheric muons has been found equal to 0.45 ± 0.12 degrees. The pointing accuracy is consistent with the expectations and no evidence of systematic pointing shifts has been found
Stability estimates for an inverse problem related to viscoelastic media
No full textWe consider a second-order hyperbolic integro-differential equation governing the third component of the displacement vector in viscoelasticity when the functions accounting for the properties of the viscoelastic medium and the external force are independent of coordinate x3. We consider the inverse problem consisting in recovering two functions characterizing both the elastic and the viscoelastic moduli of the medium. As additional information to solve our inverse problem we use three measurements related to the solutions to three direct Cauchy problems with an impulse force supported on suitable planes. Prescribing Cauchy data on the lateral surface of the body assumed to occupy initially a cylindrical region, we obtain a conditional stability estimate for the solution to our inverse problem as well as a uniqueness theorem
The effectiveness of the use of nitroglycerin for the correction of arterial hypertension in ophthalmic surgery: a single-center prospective study.
No full textIntroduction. Anesthesiological aid adult patients with cataract surgery are mainly carried out by intravenous sedation. A significant part of the patients operated on for cataracts are aged 50 and over, with concomitant diseases of the cardiovascular system, diabetes mellitus, kidney diseases and overweight. The most common concomitant diagnosis in ophthalmology is arterial hypertension (AH). During the operation or in the postoperative period, blood pressure (BP) increases in 25% of hypertensive patients. High, uncontrolled hypertension during surgery poses a threat to the development of operational complications (increased intraocular pressure (IOP) against a background of highly systemic blood pressure), as well as cardiovascular complications.Objectives. To compare the effectiveness of hypotensive therapy with nitroglycerin, magnesium sulfate and droperidol during ophthalmic surgery.Materials and methods. 261 patients participated in the study. The patients were randomized into 3 groups. Exclusion criteria: angle-closure glaucoma. Patients with an average blood pressure above 113 mm Hg underwent hypotensive therapy: group 1 Nitroglycerin (1-2 doses under the tongue); group 2 intravenously magnesium sulfate (5 ml 250 mg/ml); group 3 intravenously 1.0 ml droperidol (2.5 mg/ ml). The effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy was assessed by the level of mean blood pressure (cf. BP) and heart rate (HR) during and after surgery, as well as the dynamics of IOP after surgery.Results. After hypotensive therapy with nitroglycerin, blood pressure was lower compared to other groups during surgery (p≤0.005) and after (p=0.0004). Heart rate was significantly lower in the droperidol group (p<0.05). There was a tendency to a slight increase in IOP in patients in the nitroglycerin group. However, there was no significant difference between the IOP values of OD (p=0.065) and OS (p=0.269).Conclusion(s). The use of nitroglycerin in the form of a spray (1-2 doses) quickly and effectively allows you to stabilize a high blood pressure level during ophthalmic surgery (except for patients with angle-closure glaucoma) can serve as a prevention of acute coronary syndrome. In our study, nitroglycerin did not have a negative effect on the hydrodynamics of the eye. IOP before and after surgery remained at a stable level
Recovering a Lamé kernel in a viscoelastic system
No full textIn the equation of viscoelasticity related to a geometric cylinder, we recover the spatial part p of a factorized Lamé kernel depending on two spatial sectional variables. More explicitly, we determine sufficient conditions on the data ensuring the (local) uniqueness of p and its continuous dependence on the data in suitable metrics
Enhanced Self-Synchronized Reduced Media-Independent Interface for Robotic and Automotive Applications
No full textThe increasing pervasiveness of control systems used in robotic and automotive applications requires the installation of a growing number of sensors and actuators. In parallel to the downsizing of all the components, new techniques for tracing versatile printed circuit boards (PCBs) are emerging: A 3-D molded interconnection device, for example, creates the opportunity to reduce up to 75% of weight by combining a single-layer PCB with mechanical parts. Getting rid of unnecessary wires, hence, becomes indispensable, and new on-board interfaces with fewer pins must be designed. This article proposes a novel encoding scheme and the corresponding interface that reduces the number of wires between automotive Ethernet (100BASE-T1) MAC and PHY down to 2 and corrects up to 37.8% of single-bit errors. As this interface can be clocked at 33.33 MHz, it does not require differential transmitters, receivers, or any other special block, and for this reason, it can be easily implemented on a small-sized field-programmable gate array
Evaluation des différences génétiques dans l’importance et la répartition du tissu musculaire, entre 25 et 150 jours, sur des agneaux Romanov, Berrichon x Romanov, Texel x Romanov, Lacaune x Romanov, Charmois x Romanov
No full textQuatre-vingts agneaux mâles doubles appartenant à 5 génotypes (Romanov, Berrichon X Romanov, Texel X Romanov, Lacaune X Romanov, Charmois X Romanov) ont été abattus à différents âges (25, 50, 100 et 150 jours). Les muscles individuels de la demi-carcasse ont été pesés et regroupés en régions musculaires (10) afin d’étudier l’influence de la race des béliers sur l’importance relative et la répartition de la musculature. Après vérification des hypothèses de base, un modèle d’analyse de covariance a été retenu pour comparer les relations d’allométrie établies, pour les différents génotypes, entre le poids total de muscle et le poids de carcasse ou entre le poids de chaque région musculaire et le poids total de muscle. Soit choisir entre trois hypothèses : droites d’allométrie non parallèles (H1), parallèles (H2) ou identiques (H3). A l’exception des muscles de la jambe (H1), les coefficients de croissance relative sont homogènes entre génotypes ( H2 ou H3) dans l’intervalle des poids étudiés. A poids de carcasse égal, les croisés Berrichon X Romanov ont la musculature la moins développée et les croisés Charmois X Romanov la plus développée, respectivement 95,9 et 101,1 quand on les compare aux agneaux Romanov (100). Pour un même poids total de muscle, les différences significatives dans la répartition de la musculature (essentiellement régions musculaires de l’abdomen et de la partie antérieure de la carcasse) sont des différences dont les conséquences économiques sont minimes. Pour certaines régions, elles semblent résulter en grande partie des différences de maturité des agneaux des différents génotypes étudiés.Eighty twin male lambs from 5 genotypes (Romanov, Berrichon X Romanov, Texel X Romanov, Lacaune X Romanov, Charmois X Romanov) were slaughtered at different ages (25, 50, 100 and 150 days). Half carcass individual muscles were weighed and classified into 10 muscle groups in order to study the influence of sire breeds on the weight and distribution of total carcass muscle. Basic hypotheses being verified, a model of covariance analysis was adopted to compare the allometric relationships established, for the different genotypes, between total muscle weight and carcass weight or between the weight of each muscle group and total muscle weight. This analysis enables us to adopt one of the three following hypotheses : nonparallel (H1), parallel (H2) or identical (H3) allometric lines. Except for muscles of the distal part of the pelvic limb (H1), relative growth coefficients are homogenous among breeds (H 2 or H3) within the range of weights studied. At the same carcass weight, Berrichon X Romanov crossbreeds have least muscle and Charmois X Romanov crossbreeds have most muscle, respectively 95.9 and 101.1 when comparing them to Romanov lambs (100). The significant differences in muscle distribution at the same total muscle weight (especially muscle groups of the abdomen and fore part of the carcass) have minimai commercial implications, In certain cases, these differences seem to be due, to a great extent, to ditferences in maturity of the lambs from the genotypes under study
