The corpus containing 198 texts was collected by the research unit of the University of Molise including linguists (Giuliana Fiorentino, Vittorio Ganfi), jurists (Alessandro Cioffi, Maria Assunta Simonelli, Ludovico Di Benedetto) and computer scientists (Rocco Oliveto, Marco Russodivito).
The corpus is diatopically balanced (it contains texts from the PAs of 8 Italian regions) and includes different types of administrative acts with which the PAs address citizens

No full textThe Importance of the International Community in Protecting the Right to Abortion: The Cases of Malta and of the US Supreme Court
No full textAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), abortion is often necessary and is not a criminalizable medical act. Unfortunately, despite the global trend in recent years tending towards liberalization of abortion as a fundamental right of women in certain circumstances, it is still not guaranteed in all countries of the world in the same way. Moreover, the abortion debate is often characterized by unscientific opinions based on political and/or religious ideologies. Recently, a European episode has rekindled the debate on abortion: in Malta, a tourist was unable to have an abortion, with consequent risks, even serious ones, on her health. In addition, even in the United States a Supreme Court ruling created a considerable stir: the Roe v. Wade (1973) ruling that had legalized abortion at the federal level was revoked. After the ruling of the Supreme Court, each state of the USA can decide for itself whether and how to legalize abortion. These recent international developments are particularly worrying and make even more evident the need for abortion to be protected at an international level as an inalienable and fundamental human right, and therefore not to be limited

Sketching Guthlac as a Model of Monastic Virtues: Vercelli Homily XXIII, Guthlac A and the Vita Sancti Guthlaci
No full textThe Vita Sancti Guthlaci represents an interesting Anglo-Latin hagiographic text. Written by a monk called Felix between the 736 and 740, the Vita contains life and deeds of Guthlac, one of the first Anglo-Saxon (and Mercian) saint. The Vita should have had a wide reception in Anglo-Saxon England, as demonstrated not only by the relatively high number of manuscripts containing Felix's text, but also by the corpus of Old English translations and rewritings of Guthlac’s life. Unrelated rielaborations of the Vita, the Old English texts are focussed on specific events of Guthlac's life, as the eremitic choice and the fight against the demons. The paper aims at giving a comparative reading of the Vercelli sermon dedicated to Guthlac (Vercelli XXIII). Short prose text based on chapters XXVIII-XXXIII of Felix's Vita, the Vercelli sermon shows a well planned re-reading not only of Felix’s narration, but also of the figures of St. Guthlac and St.Bartholomew, Guthlac’s heavenly patron. Exaltation of Guthlac's virtues, the sermon describes Guthlac as an example of stableness and moderation, which emphasises the content of the Latin source

No full textThe Musical Life of Billy Cioffi: A Narrative Inquiry
No full textabstract: The purpose of this study is to raise questions by exploring, writing, imagining, and telling the musical life stories of Billy Cioffi. Billy Cioffi is a professional musician, band leader, private teacher, professor of English, and, formerly, a musical director for acts such as Chuck Berry, Del Shannon, and others. In this document I explore the life of Billy Cioffi with the following questions in mind: 1. What might Billy's musical experiences, expertise, teaching, and learning teach us about music education? 2. What might the story of Billy’s musical life cause us to question about institutional music education? 3. How might his story trouble beliefs and perceptions about music teaching and learning? Prior to Billy’s story, which appears as a novella, I raise questions about popular music, its histories, and its place in music education contexts. Following the novella, I invite readers into four different “endings” to this document.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music Education 201
Flood Risk Management Model to Identify Optimal Defence Policies in Coastal Areas Under Climate Change Uncertainties: Pontina Plain Case Study
No full textCoastal areas are highly vulnerable to flooding, due to hydrological extreme events such heavy rainfalls and/or storm surges which are supposed to be increasing in the next future due to the emission in atmosphere of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. In this study, in order to assess the future hydraulic risk in coastal regions, as well as, to identify optimal defense/adaptation policies, a risk analysis model is developed to calculate the present day and future flood risk, accounting for climate change uncertainties and mitigation measures. Such model juxtaposes a number of coupled/nested models as: a) a stacking daily rainfall downscaling model which combines simulations from multiple predictive models, as Random Forest, extreme gradient boosting and Non-homogeneous Hidden Markov Model (NHMM) (Cioffi et al. 2018); b) a Bivariate Point Process model (BPPM) (Zheng et al., 2014) that calculates Joint probability density function between extreme daily rainfall amount and daily extreme storm tide depth; c) a simulation-optimization model - in which multi-objective GA optimization model (Deb et al., 2002) and 2D hydraulic model are combined (Cioffi et al. 2018) - calculates sets of Pareto optimal solutions which are obtained by defining two optimality criteria consisting in: minimizing both the cost of the flood defense infrastructure system and the flooding hydraulic risk. ; d) a mathematical decision model which is aimed to identify the best policies of mitigation of hydraulic risk and the timing, taking into account the uncertainties in hydrological extreme event predictions. The risk analysis model is applied to the study case of Mazzocchio area which is the most depressed area (about 10000 ha) within the Pontinia Plain, a large reclamation region in the south of Lazio (Italy), particularly vulnerable to extreme events - as extreme rainfall amount and sea level rise due to storm surge at the sea outfall of the river- which in the past caused the crisis of hydraulic network system with flooding of large areas and collapse of levees. XXI Century projections of daily rainfall amount and sea level for the RCP 8.5-IPCC scenarios were performed using ensemble of 35 GCM simulations (CESM1 CAM5 BGC 20C + RCP8.5 Large Ensemble) (Kay et al., 2015)
