    La tutela del passeggero nella disciplina Euro-unitaria e nella giurisprudenza della Corte di Giustizia

    Starting from the four EU regulations governing the rights of passengers in the various modes of transport in the event of cancellation, long delay and denied boarding, the Author asks whether the numerous rulings of the Court of Justice, which have made it possible to resolve numerous interpretative problems raised by various provisions of the oldest regulation – i.e. EC Regulation No 261/2004 on air transport – have or have not influenced the legislator in the drafting of subsequent regulations. Furthermore, the Author, considering the future prospects of EU regulation on passenger rights also in the light of the EU Commission’s recent proposal to amend the four regulations, wonders whether the time is ripe for uniform regulation in the different modes of transport

    The morphology of –ly and the categorial status of ‘adverbs’ in English.

    No full text
    The author challenges the traditional assumption of derivational morphology which accords adverbial –ly derivational status and gives adverbs lexical category status on a par with nouns, verbs and adjectives. The author argues that adverbial –ly, unlike its adjectival counterpart, is inflectional and adverbs ending in –ly are rather to be regarded as inflected adjectives while those adverbs not containing –ly are uninflected adjectives; “adverbs cannot be categorially distinct from adjectives” (p. 342-343)

    Convenience in Funding Upgrading Works

    With reference to upgrading actions on existing building stock, Construction Procurement Guidance, No.7 Whole Life Costs (Office of Government Commerce) states: ‘All procurement must be made solely on the basis of value for money in terms of the optimum combination of global costs and quality to meet the user’s requirements’. Cash-flow analyses allow showing the economic value of investments for alternative technological upgrading works extended all along their service lives. Optimisation of choices is not only a matter of cash-flow analyses—choices should not be made only according to the lowest costs but also considering several aspects that can be brought back to the concept of ‘technical-sustainable value’, which mainly derives from competent functional and environmental assessments of the reference analysis system. The mentioned interrelation should theoretically be adequately considered but this is seldom the case in the common building practice. Cost estimate for an engineered system has to entail much more detailed analyses on costs, energy, sustainability and technologies. Possible technological solutions would be convenient in terms of technological/technical utility, but less convenient in monetary terms for the funding subject. Under the economic point of view, cash outflow means less economic convenience in funding a given technology. All that stated above, nowadays effective data-display global cost-quality indicators are rarely available in literature. The present manuscript introduces to the reader fundamentals of an economic tool proposal designed by the author with the use of synthetically displaying interrelations between cash-flow scenarios and quality-sustainability in upgrading processes on existing buildings. Fundamentals have been tested on a reference case study. Then, fundamentals have been contextualized to the Italian Legislative framework: in Italy, in multi-owner existing residential buildings, expenditure allocation is carried out based on thousandths. The thousandth type to be considered is due to the configuration of the case under review and to balance-sheet expenditure to be allocated to owners. Property thousandths allocated to housing units have been used to allocate expenses for technological/energy upgrading works. The author has tried to find out the amount of a possible bank investment that a user might start at building Time ‘0’ to theoretically clear possible economic losses, trying to highlight technical utility of the technological solution that would be disadvantaged in economic terms. ‘Neutral’ mathematical finance formulas have been used to calculate the theoretical capital to be invested by an owner based on the reference cash-flow scenario. Conclusion will be drawn at the end of the manuscript

    Decostruire il mito. Jewishness e Americanness nei romanzi di Philip Roth

    No full text
    This paper aims to analyze how the American Jewish author Philip Roth (1933-2018) confronts the burden of his ethnic origin and, at the same time, problematizes the question of Americanness. In the novels of the American Trilogy (1997-2000), Roth highlights the implications of this double identity by creating characters who strenuously work to erase their religious and ethnic origins to fulfill their American Dream. This paper focuses on the author’s use of one of the founding myths of American democracy, individualism, and the many different ways through which Roth builds and celebrates this myth as he simultaneously aims at deconstructing it

    Recupero edilizio e nuova costruzione. Non solo risparmio energetico. Importanza della valutazione della fattibilità applicativa a monte della modellazione energetica

    The expressions ‘low environmental impact’ and ‘energy efficiency’ mean much more than ‘compliance to regulation and technical specifications’ (89/106/ EEC, article 4). Nowadays, solutions implemented in actions on buildings at least have to comply with regulatory values or parameters with reference to a specific time outlook. This is due to policies and guidelines issued at several levels, starting from the European one to get to the local one, promoting: for new buildings, reviews of design processes so as to create sustainable buildings providing for high-quality housing, for existing buildings, reviews on as-built assets so as to limit energy consumption. Designers selecting potentially applicable ‘sustainable’ technologies should not only assess their profiles in terms of energy and performance which, of course, are essential. Together with the abovementioned issues, in addition to convenience, critical points and viability constraints should be reasonably taken into account during the selection process. For this purpose, some ideas are introduced in form of a journalistic discourse, which, according to the author, can be useful to those designers who have to select from different ranges of viable technological solutions, both based on traditional building practices and on new or emerging practices

    Don Denis. Poesie d'amore. Edizione commentata.

    No full text
    The study consists of a comment edition of 127 don Denis’ s love poems, conventionally divided into two sections: 75 cantigas de amor and 52 cantigas de amigo. Following the only complete edition of don Denis of Portugal (1261-1325), prepared by H. Lang in 1894, I proceeded to a textual revision, based on a systematic review of the codices and on the successive exegetical studies. The first aim of this revised critical edition is to offer an analytical comment of the poetical corpus of don Denis, the most representative author of the galician-portuguese poetry. The rich inquiry examines in detail any poem of the king poet from a thematic and rhetorical perspective and it documents the intertextual relations with the provençal and north french lyric on the one hand and the galician-portuguese poetry on the other.La tesi consiste in un’ampia edizione commentata dei 127 componimenti di tematica amorosa di don Denis di Portogallo (1261-1325), tradizionalmente ripartiti in 75 cantigas de amor e 52 cantigas de amigo. Sulla base dell’unica edizione critica completa della produzione poetica dionigina, quella allestita da H. Lang nel 1894, si è proceduto ad un’accurata revisione testuale del corpus, sia attraverso un controllo sistematico della tradizione manoscritta, sia prendendo in considerazione le recensioni e i successivi contributi critici. Ne risulta un’edizione criticamente rivista che si pone come obiettivo principale quello di offrire un analitico commento esegetico-critico ai singoli testi del re trovatore, unanimamente riconosciuto come il poeta più colto e rappresentativo della lirica galego-portoghese, ma al quale non sono stati finora dedicati studi monografici esaustivi. L’esteso commento rende dunque conto degli aspetti tematici, metrici, retorici e linguistici delle differenti poesie, nonché della fitta trama intertestuale che collega alcune di esse alla tradizione della lirica cortese (provenzale e francese) da un lato e al trobadorismo peninsulare dall’altro

    Overview of the EvaLatin 2022 Evaluation Campaign

    This paper describes the organization and the results of the second edition of EvaLatin, the campaign for the evaluation of Natural Language Processing tools for Latin. The three shared tasks proposed in EvaLatin 2022, i. e. Lemmatization, Part-of-Speech Tagging and Features Identification, are aimed to foster research in the field of language technologies for Classical languages. The shared dataset consists of texts mainly taken from the LASLA corpus. More specifically, the training set includes only prose texts of the Classical period, whereas the test set is organized in three sub-tasks: a Classical sub-task on a prose text of an author not included in the training data, a Cross-genre sub-task on poetic and scientific texts, and a Cross-time sub-task on a text of the 15th century. The results obtained by the participants for each task and sub-task are presented and discussed
