No full textThe influence of mythology in the golden literature: Apollo and Daphne through four examples. Garcilaso, Quevedo, Lope, Polo de Medina
Get PDFopenL’influenza della mitologia, specialmente quella grecolatina, è sempre stata una forte presenza nelle varie letterature europee e no. Alcuni letterati dell’epoca prendevano ispirazioni da manoscritti classici per poi svilupparne dei racconti che potessero indurre non solo alla conoscenza della cultura classica, ma anche a cogliere le diverse interpretazioni per cui ogni autore viene contraddistinto. In questo caso, si prende in considerazione il mito di Apollo e Dafne attraverso quattro figure fondamentali della letteratura aurea spagnola: Garcilaso de la Vega, Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega e Salvador Jacinto Polo de Medina.
Si propone una breve descrizione sull’influenza della mitologia grecolatina nella letteratura spagnola, principalmente quella dei Secoli d’Oro, per poi proseguire con la spiegazione del mito di Apollo e Dafne attraverso le Metamorfosi di Ovidio, testo dove si incontra il mito originariamente, fino ad un’analisi delle opere di questi quattro importanti autori, attraverso le quali si nota come il mito venga sviluppato in base alle diverse formazioni, scuole di pensiero, interpretazioni e influenze.The influence of mythology, especially the Greek one, has always been a strong presence in the various European literatures and not. Some writers of the time took inspiration from classical manuscripts and then developed stories that could lead not only to the knowledge of classical culture, but also to grasp the different interpretations for which each author is distinguished. In this case, the myth of Apollo and Daphne is considered through four fundamental figures of Spanish golden literature: Garcilaso de la Vega, Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega, and Salvador Jacinto Polo de Medina.
A brief description of the influence of Greek mythology in Spanish literature, mainly that of the Golden Ages, is proposed and then continues with the explanation of the myth of Apollo and Daphne through the Metamorphoses of Ovid, text where you meet the myth originally, up to an analysis of the works of these four important authors, through which you notice how the myth is developed based on different formations, schools of thought, interpretations and influences

Apollo experience report: Mission planning for Apollo entry
Get PDFThe problems encountered and the experience gained in the entry mission plans, flight software, trajectory-monitoring procedures, and backup trajectory-control techniques of the Apollo Program should provide a foundation upon which future spacecraft programs can be developed. Descriptions of these entry activities are presented. Also, to provide additional background information needed for discussion of the Apollo entry experience, descriptions of the entry targeting for the Apollo 11 mission and the postflight analysis of the Apollo 10 mission are presented
The landscape ecology of butterflies in traditionally managed Norwegian farmland
Get PDFThe modernisation of agriculture has lead to changes in Norwegian farming landscapes that have consequences for butterfly distribution and abundance. Particularly important is the abandonment of traditionally managed grasslands and the consequent increase in potential barriers of scrub and trees in the landscape. In this thesis I use a landscape ecological perspective to explore the effects of abandonment on butterfly dispersal. I demonstrate that landscape elements influence butterfly movement behaviour: tall structures were significant barriers for a range of species and even low features, such as roads, elicited significant behavioural responses which shaped the movement patterns of butterflies. Behavioural differences between species were related to ecological and physiological characteristics. Movement patterns of Scarce Coppers (Lyceana virgaureae) were recorded by mark-release- recapture (MRR) techniques. Of 1711 recorded displacements, over 90 % were under 150 m. Exchange rates between meadows were dependent upon distance and the structure of intervening vegetation. A simple spatial model, parameterised with data from the behavioural experiments, was validated using MRR observations. This confirmed that the behaviour of individuals responding to single landscape elements has consequences at the level of populations and entire landscapes. The life history and movement behaviour of the endangered Apollo (Parnassius apollo), were examined using MRR. The butterfly is well adapted to a mosaic landscape structure; however, inter-meadow movement declined exponentially with increasing distance between meadows. Abandonment of hay meadows on steep slopes, with consequent forest succession, will adversely affect the Apollo by increasing the distances between open habitat. Genetic analyses support the findings of MMR studies and add a wider spatial and temporal perspective. As a conservation management priority, I recommend population mapping to identify key sites in regional networks of populations. Finally, I consider the links between empirical studies, modelling and the practical application of theory, and discuss the implications of landscape change for the butterflies of Norwegian farmland
