Exploiting Parallelism for Hard Problems in Abstract Argumentation
No full textAbstract argumentation framework (AF) is a unifying framework able to encompass a variety of nonmonotonic reasoning approaches, logic programming and computational argumentation. Yet, efficient approaches for most of the decision and enumeration problems associated to AF s are missing, thus potentially limiting the efficacy of argumentation-based approaches in real domains. In this paper, we present an algorithm for enumerating the preferred extensions of abstract argumentation frameworks which exploits parallel computation. To this purpose, the SCC-recursive semantics definition schema is adopted, where extensions are defined at the level of specific sub-frameworks. The algorithm shows significant performance improvements in large frameworks, in terms of number of solutions found and speedup
Assembly and export of MHC class I peptide ligands
No full textDuring the assembly of MHC class I molecules with peptide, a series of transient interactions are made with endoplasmic reticulum-resident chaperones and MHC class I-specific accessory molecules. These interactions culminate in the trafficking of MHC class I molecules to the cell surface and presentation of peptide to CD8+ T lymphocytes. Recent studies have revealed just how important these early interactions are, and how they influence the quality control of assembly and the optimisation of peptide–ligand binding
Developing a Common Methodology for Assessing the Impact of Organised Criminal Activities Across the EU Member States
No full textQuesta tesi affronta l'argomento dell'impatto delle attività dei gruppi criminali condotte all'interno degli Stati Membri dell'Unione europea. Negli ultimi anni l'importanza di questo argomento è stata ampiamente sottolineata soprattutto a livello europeo. La ricerca è stata possibile anche grazie alla partecipazione dell'autrice al progetto di ricerca sulla criminalità organizzata finanziato dalla Commissione europea (VI Programma Quadro) e dimostra come il mondo accademico può rispondere alla necessità di una conoscenza dell'impatto del crimine organizzato che sia comparabile a livello europeo. Si tratta di un primo tentativo di definire i criteri di una metodologia comune europea finalizzata alla misurazione dell'impatto di specifiche attività criminali, ai fini della selezione degli indicatori che rispettano tali criteri; in altre parole, questo lavoro intende offrire un primo studio comprensivo di tutti gli aspetti connessi allo sviluppo di una metodologia comune europea che misuri l'impatto delle attività criminali e di conseguenza creare la base per ulteriori ricerche sull'argomento.This thesis addresses the topic of the harm caused by organised criminal activities carried out across the EU Member States. It is a topic whose importance has been widely remarked upon, in recent years, especially at EU level. This thesis - that benefits from the participation of the author in a Project on OC harm funded under the VI FP of the European Commission - shows how academics can respond to the need for a comparative knowledge on OC harm at EU level. It is a first attempt to define the criteria of a common EU methodology for measuring the harm caused by selected OC activities, and to identify indicators complying with these criteria, therefore putting forward a possible methodology. In other words, this thesis intends to provide a first comprehensive study that will bring together in a systematic way all the issues related to the development of a common EU methodology assessing the impact of OC activities and, therefore, create the basis for further research on the subject
Performing Ancient Greek Tragedy in Twentieth-Century Greece: Dimitris Rontiris and Karolos Koun
No full textIn this article Michaela Antoniou gives an account of the two prevailing acting schools in ancient Greek tragedy in the twentieth century, as formed and developed by Dimitris Rontiris at the National Theatre and Karolos Koun at the Theatro Technis (Art Theatre). She discusses how these two great theatre masters directed, guided, and taught their actors to perform tragedy, arguing that Rontiris's approach stemmed from a text-based perspective that focused on reciting and pronunciation, while Koun's developed from a physical and emotional approach that prioritzed actors and their abilities. Her article summarizes each director's philosophy regarding the Greek tragedies, and discusses the position of the genre within modern Greek theatre, mapping the process employed by the actors, and analyzing their method in order to illustrate the different perspectives that the two great directors had with regards to approaching and performing a role. Michaela Antoniou completed her PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently working as an external collaborator of the Department of Theatre Studies, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. She has also worked on the stage as an actress and playwright, and is a published author

GUILT & The Storyteller and the Truth
No full textGuilt is a historical novel set in the second half of the twentieth century (1963 – 1975) in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The story begins three years after the island was granted its independence from the British, when intense intercommunal violence between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots was on the rise, and ends several months after the Turkish invasion in the summer of 1974. Guilt follows the life of a Greek Cypriot from her childhood to her adulthood, depicting the difficulty of growing up during politically troubled times as well as the life of women in the seventies in Cyprus. Guilt is a Bildungsroman novel. Although history and politics are in the background of the novel, national emergence often affects the relationship of the heroine with her family, friends and lovers; the public sphere and the private sphere are interlaced. Guilt is a fictional story shaped around familial accounts of the Turkish invasion as well as of the everyday life of Cypriots prior to it, which means the novel is to a certain extent autobiographical. Concerning the structure, the novel is separated into a number of sections, which jump in time, as the memories of the heroine lead the unfolding of events. In the critical commentary, whose title is “The Storyteller and the Truth,” I discuss the novels, books and journals that have helped me write Guilt, redraft it and understand it fully. In the critical commentary, I focus on the autobiographical element, the idea of memories, history and politics, what genre Guilt belongs in, and finally, the relationship between nation and gender. There is a dearth of Cypriot literature and I wish Guilt can contribute to change that fact as well as draw attention to a country that is often either forgotten or seen merely as a tourist destination

Complying shipping documents under UCP 600
No full textThis thesis analyses the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP) against the backdrop of the question: ‘what documents must a beneficiary, acting as seller under an international sale of goods carried by sea, present to a bank, and how must he present them, in order for the presentation to be considered compliant?’. It interprets the rules through the answer to this question by looking at national law but also the range of supporting material published by the International Chamber of Commerce. This includes the International Standard Banking Practice, Banking Commission Opinions and Recommendations and DOCDEX decisions. It is unique, because it is one of the few pieces of academic research to place emphasis on these documents and argue that they provide clarification and addition to the UCP. The result of the analysis is a list of proposals for amendments and additions, specifically to UCP but also in some cases to letter of credit law generally. It is these proposals and the arguments for them that are the original contribution to research. Perhaps the most daring submission, never made before in another piece of legal writing, is the proposal that the location of the Fraud Exception to the Autonomy Principle of letters of credit, and indeed all exceptions to the principle, are to be found in the UCP themselves. Where past research has adamantly held that the UCP do not deal with fraud, I submit that they do, and the analysis of the corresponding articles evidence this. The law is stated as at 1 September 201
