A practical study of digitalization of cultural heritage : Ani Ruins, Turkey. Uno studio pratico sulla digitalizzazione del patrimonio culturale : Ani Ruins, Turchia
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALELe rovine di Ani sono il primo punto di incontro delle culture turco-islamico, armeno e georgiano-cristiano ed è un simbolo della diversità culturale. A causa di questo ruolo, le rovine di Ani sono state incluse nella lista del patrimonio culturale mondiale nel 2016. Questo studio discute le sfide nella conservazione e nello sviluppo dei beni del patrimonio culturale utilizzando le rovine di Ani come caso di studio.
La definizione di patrimonio culturale è stata avanzata per la prima volta nella Convenzione sulla protezione del patrimonio culturale e naturale mondiale dell'UNESCO nel novembre 1972. La convenzione ha presentato e sottolineato l'importanza dei beni culturali e della loro salvaguardia per tutta la popolazione del mondo. In questo senso, sono considerati beni culturali i monumenti, i gruppi di edifici, i siti, il paesaggio culturale, i beni culturali verbali degli esseri umani e i beni culturali immateriali.
I pensatori più recenti potrebbero concordare sul fatto che stiamo attraversando un periodo di cambiamento storico in cui è possibile costruire diversi modelli concettuali con l'aiuto della tecnologia. Negli ultimi anni, infatti, l'UNESCO ha privilegiato il concetto di “patrimonio integrale” che supera la comprensione di un edificio isolato o modello di monumento come centro del patrimonio. La comprensione qui è che il patrimonio è una realtà integrale che richiede una percezione collettiva e la creazione di reti.
L'intenzione di scrivere questa tesi non è creare un approccio turistico ma rivitalizzare la cultura e integrare la conoscenza del sito archeologico di Ani. Gli approcci precedenti hanno dimostrato che la mancanza di un'integrazione di dati universali sull'ambiente ha un effetto negativo anche sul turismo. L'obiettivo qui è la valorizzazione pubblica del patrimonio, comprendendo le dimensioni culturali ed educative in un unico universo interconnesso con reti multinodulari. Per questo motivo è necessario prima raccogliere dati -anche se nazioni diverse forniscono storie diverse-, analizzarne l'attendibilità e raccoglierli in una tecnologia che possa essere utilizzata da chiunque venga sul sito. È anche importante che questa tecnologia sia raggiungibile da tutti i visitatori dell'area. In questo obiettivo le nuove tecnologie possono diventare alleate importanti ed efficaci.
In questo senso, vorrei ringraziare molteplici risorse e i loro creatori come VirtualAni che è stato creato nel 1999 e ha raccolto più fonti per il sito web. Il sito è stato per me fonte di ispirazione attraverso la loro metodologia e mi ha guidato con i loro lavori.Ani Ruins is the first meeting point of Turkish-Islamic, Armenian and Georgian-Christian cultures and is a symbol of cultural diversity. Due to this role, Ani Ruins were included in the World Cultural Heritage List in 2016. This study discusses the challenges in preserving and developing cultural heritage assets using Ani Ruins as a case study.
The definition of cultural heritage was first put forward in the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage by UNESCO in November 1972. The convention presented and highlighted the importance of cultural property and its safeguarding for all the population in the world. In this sense, the following shall be considered as cultural heritage: monuments, groups of buildings, sites, cultural landscape, human beings verbal, and intangible cultural heritage.
Most recent thinkers may agree that we are going through a time of historical change where it is possible to build different conceptual models with the help of technology. In fact, in recent years, UNESCO has privileged the concept of “integral heritage” which exceeds the understanding of an isolated building or monument model as the centre of heritage. The understanding here is that heritage is an integral reality that requires a collective perception and the establishment of networks.
The intention of writing this thesis is not to create a touristic approach but to revitalize the culture and integrate the knowledge of the Ani Archaeological Site. The previous approaches have demonstrated that the lack of integration of universal data on the environment has a negative effect on tourism as well. The goal here is the public appreciation of heritage, understanding the cultural and educational dimensions in a single universe that are interconnected with multinodular networks. For this reason, it is necessary to first collect data -even though different nations provide different history-, analyse the trustworthiness of them and gather them in a technology that can be used by everyone coming to the site. It is also important that this technology should be reachable by all the visitors to the area. In this objective, new technologies can become important and effective allies.
In this sense, I would like to thank multiple resources and their creators such as VirtualAni that has been created in 1999 and collected multiple sources for the website. The site has been an inspiration for me through their methodology and guided me with their works
„Ani kapłani, ani błaźni”. Odsłony zwrotu postsekularnego w antropologii
No full textNeither Priests nor Clowns: Attitudes Towards the Postsecular Turn in Anthropology
The article discusses the issue of the postsecular turn in contemporary anthropology, taking into account the cultural processes involved in its emergence. The author attempts to identify research areas and issues worthy of exploring within this turn, and at the same time she considers the boundary conditions for its usefulness in scientific research. Referring to the recent anthropological literature on this topic, the author distinguishes two leading epistemological attitudes involved in this turn: the one that acknowledges the supernatural dimension of revelation and the one that sees it as a social fact. Both are heterogenous and each sees the relationship between anthropology and theology differently. Discussing some anthropological views in this regard, the author aims to revive the dialogue between researchers from various social and human sciences representing the postsecular turn. On the one hand, this dialogue can initiate new paths of mutual inspiration and co-thinking; on the other hand, it may lead to more conscious distinctions between different varieties of postsecular reflection.
„Ani kapłani, ani błaźni”. Odsłony zwrotu postsekularnego w antropologii
Celem artykułu jest refleksja nad specyfiką zwrotu postsekularnego we współczesnej antropologii, uwzględniająca jego uwarunkowania społeczno-kulturowe oraz związane z nim postawy epistemologiczne. Autorka próbuje wskazać obszary badań i zagadnienia, które powinny być przedmiotem eksploracji tego zwrotu, a zarazem określić warunki brzegowe wykorzystywania wypracowanych na jego gruncie narzędzi analitycznych w badaniach naukowych. Odnosząc się do najnowszej literatury przedmiotu, autorka wyróżnia w antropologii dwie wiodące postawy epistemologiczne zaangażowane w ów zwrot: uznające rzeczywistość objawienia oraz odrzucające taką możliwość (naturalistyczne). Dostrzega, że w ich ramach wysuwane są różnorakie pomysły na to, jak mogłaby wyglądać i czemu służyć kooperacja antropologii z teologią. Prezentując antropologiczne odsłony owego zwrotu, tekst ma na celu ożywienie dialogu między reprezentującymi go badaczami uprawiającymi różne nauki humanistyczne i społeczne. Dialog ten z jednej strony może zainicjować nowe ścieżki wzajemnych inspiracji i współmyślenia, z drugiej zaś doprowadzić do bardziej świadomych dystynkcji między różnymi wariantami tego zwrotu
A TUTORIAL GUIDE TO THE ANI ANIMATION SYSTEM
No full textANI is a three dimensional animation control program. It was developed in
the department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary as part
of the graphics land environment. ANI works as an animation environment
that easily defines many types of different animation techniques. Although
ANI was not designed for the non-experienced computer user, it should not
be very hard to master enough of the concepts and commands to start doing
basic animation very quickly.
ANI works very closely with a system called PG (Polygon Groper), and can
only animate objects created in PG. For those of you who would like to
advance to sophisticated animation techniques, I highly recommend that
you learn the basics of, and become familiar with PG.
ANI was not designed to handle real-time animation (being able to see
things move in front of you immediately), although some limited facilities
exist to do this. Rather ANI was designed to create all of the individual
pictures, which would then later be put on film or video tape.

I resti di macromammiferi del livello aurignaziano A2 della Grotta di Fumane (VR): analisi di alcune strutture d’abitato
No full textGrotta di Fumane (Verona), a 350 m slm nei Monti Lessini, è uno dei più importanti siti della regione alpina
dove sono documentati livelli di frequentazione che vanno dal Musteriano all’Aurignaziano. Scavi sistematici sono in corso
dal 1988, diretti da A. Broglio (Università di Ferrara) e da M. Cremaschi (Università di Milano). L’occupazione aurignazia-na,
in base a diverse datazioni radiometriche, si colloca tra i 34-32.000 anni dal presente. Durante l’Aurignaziano si registra
un irrigidimento del clima documentato dalla prevalenza tra i resti faunistici dello stambecco e del camoscio e dalla presenza
della lepre alpina, della marmotta e di uccelli di clima freddo. La stima dell’età di morte per gli ungulati ha evidenziato che la
caccia era diretta in prevalenza verso individui giovani-adulti e adulti.
Il presente lavoro si concentra sui resti faunistici di una superficie aurignaziana del livello A2 dove sono state individuate
numerose strutture d’abitato (buche di palo, accumuli di ocra, strutture di combustione e accumuli di resti di pasto e manu-fatti
litici frammentari) che testimoniano una razionale organizzazione dello spazio. Sono state analizzate cinque strutture
situate a breve distanza tra loro in corrispondenza del limite della volta nella zona occidentale della grotta. La maggior parte
dei reperti faunistici appartengono a ungulati (soprattutto Capra ibex), ma non mancano i carnivori (Canis lupus, Lynx lynx
e Vulpes vulpes); generalmente i resti determinati appartengono ad individui adulti. L’analisi micromorfologica delle super-fici
ossee su reperti attribuiti a Capra ibex ha permesso di documentare le diverse fasi dello sfruttamento di una carcassa ani-male.
Da segnalare infine la presenza di alcune schegge diafisarie utilizzate come ritoccatoi
“…non aveva il sesso ricoperto dal muschio” La raccolta collettanea Ani labuť ani Lůna (1936) e la critica sul Diario del 1835 di K. H. Mácha come manifesto estetico, etico e filosofico dei surrealisti cechi
No full text Abstract – Il presente lavoro intende indagare la lettura surrealista della figura del poeta Karel Hynek Mácha (1810-1836) avanzata nel volume collettaneo Ani labuť ani Lůna (1936). Pubblicato con un chiaro intento polemico, esso contiene numerose critiche alle celebrazioni ufficiali del centenario della morte di Mácha, durante le quali viene promossa e canonizzata un’immagine mitizzata dell’autore come “il” poeta romantico ceco per eccellenza, poeta dell’amore nonché patriota. Al contrario, i surrealisti propongono una riflessione sulla sfera corporea e sessuale di Mácha basandosi sul suo Diario del 1835 e, in particolar modo, alla questione delle sue parti cifrate dall’autore. L’omissione di tali parti nella versione del Diario del 1835 apparsa postuma rappresenta in Ani labuť ani Lůna un bersaglio polemico nei confronti della moralità borghese in seno alla società cecoslovacca del tempo, nonché uno dei principali argomenti di critica alla strumentalizzazione statale operata nei confronti della figura di Mácha. Dopo una rassegna dei contenuti dei vari saggi della pubblicazione, la nostra attenzione si concentra sui contributi di V. Nezval, Z. Kalandra, K. Teige e B. Brouk e alla funzione di “testimonianza della verità” che in essi svolgono le parti cifrate del Diario del 1835. Abstract – The work aims to investigate the Surrealist interpretations of the poet Karel Hynek Mácha (1810-1836) proposed in the collective volume Ani labuť ani Lůna (Nor the Swan nor the Moon, 1936). Published with a clear polemical intention, it contains numerous criticisms of the official celebrations for the centenary of Mácha's death: a mythologized image of the author, canonized as "the" Czech romantic poet par excellence, poet of love as well as patriot. The Surrealists propose, instead, a reflection on the body and the sexual sphere inMácha based on his Diary of 1835 and on the parts encrypted by the author. In Ani labuť ani Lůna, the omission of these parts in the version published posthumously becams a tool for criticizing bourgeois morality within the Czechoslovak society of the time, as well shows the State's exploitation of the figure of Mácha. After presenting of the contents of the various essays in the publication, I will focuses on the contributions of V. Nezval, Z. Kalandra, K. Teige and B. Brouk and on the "witness-to-the-truth" function that the Surrealists ascribe to the encrypted parts of the Diary.
Review of issues and challenges for public private partnership (PPP) project performance in Malaysia
No full textStructural changes of synthetic paulingite (Na,H-ECR-18) upon dehydration and CO2 adsorption
No full textFunding: EPSRCThe structure of dehydrated calcined ECR-18, synthetic paulingite, topology type PAU, unit cell composition Na132H28Si512Al160O1344, has been determined by Rietveld refinement against synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data. Upon dehydration the symmetry of Na,H-ECR-18 changes from Im3m to I 43m, with a corresponding decrease of cubic unit cell a parameter from 34.89412(1) A to 33.3488(3) A. This occurs as the framework distorts to afford closer coordination of Na+ cations by framework O atoms in 8-ring window sites of the seven cage types present. Na+ cations in 8R sites block the access of N2 molecules to the internal pore space at 77 K but CO2 adsorption at 308 K is observed, and is postulated to occur via a 'trapdoor' mechanism. In situ PXRD during CO2 adsorption at pressures up to 10 bar show reversible broadening of diffraction peaks that is attributed to local crystallographic strain.Peer reviewe
Verses, subverses and subversions in contemporary postcolonial poetry : the arts of resistance in the works of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lesego Rampolokeng
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 136-141).This dissertation seeks to analyse insubordination and resistance manifested in postcolonial and post-apartheid poetry as ways of subverting dominant Western discourses. More specifically, I focus my analysis on textual strategies of resistance in the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lesego Rampolokeng. The syncretistic quality in the oeuvres of both poets is related to diaspora, hybridity and crealisation as forms of writ[h]ing against (neo)colonially-based hegemonic discourses. Postcolonial critiques at large will frame this analysis of strategies of domination and resistance, but some discussions from the domain of history, sociology and cultural studies may also enter the debate. In this regard there is a great variety of theories and arguments dealing with the contradictions and incongruities in the question of power relations interconnecting domination and resistance. This study is arranged in three pivotal debates. There is firstly an in-depth discussion of underpinning theories that deal with strategies of domination and resistance in the postcolonial domain This is a threefold task carried out by scrutinising (a) the origins of colonial discourse and its binarist tendencies, (b) the pitfalls of anticolonialist resistance based on dualistic opposites, and (c) the hybrid and insubordinate nature of resistance as an efficient alternative to transcend such binaries. Afterwards I seek to investigate how strategies of diasporic resistance and cultural hybridism employed in the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson can contribute to moving away from the limitations of dichotomies and also subvert hegemonic power. And finally, I look at crealisation, mockery and insubordination as strategies of resistance in the postapartheid poetry of Lesego Rampolokeng. Besides that, this project is concerned with the increasing importance of academic studies on postcolonial literatures. The present research aims therefore to analyse postcolonial and post-apartheid poems as strategic techniques to decentre dominant Western rhetoric that tries to naturalise inequalities and injustices in the relations between power holders and the powerless in both local and global contexts
A Note on Case-Based Optimization with a Non-Degenerate Similarity Function
No full textThe paper applies the ��realistic-ambitious�� rule for adaptation of the aspiration level suggested by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1996) to a situation in which the similarity between the available acts is represented by a non-degenerate function. The paper shows that the optimality result obtained by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1996) in general fails. With a concave similarity function, the best corner act is chosen in the limit. Introducing convex regions into the similarity function improves the limit choice. A sufficiently fine similarity function allows to approximate optimal behavior with an arbitrary degree of precision.
Is Norwid the author of the sonnet <i>Loneliness</i>?
No full textArtykuł dotyczy weryfikacji przyjętego przez Juliusza W. Gomulickiego jako wiersz Norwida sonetu Samotność i umieszczonego przez tegoż edytora w kanonie lirycznym poety.

Gomulicki’s attribution of the sonnet Loneliness as a poem by Norwid, which led the editor to include it among the poet’s lyrical works.
