    L’articolo delinea gli obiettivi del progetto di trascrizione ed edizione digitale del manoscritto Napoli, Biblioteca Nazionale, MS XIII.B.29. Il codice, preziosissimo in quanto unico esempio di letteratura inglese tardomedievale conservato in Italia, contiene romanzi cavallereschi e un poema agiografico che conobbero ampia circolazione nell’Inghilterra del quattordicesimo e quindicesimo secolo, oltre ad un ricettario medico finora poco conosciuto. A parte la sua rilevanza filologica e letteraria (la maggior parte dei testimoni delle opere ivi contenute si differenzia talvolta anche in modo marcato rispetto al resto delle rispettive tradizioni testuali), la presenza di note in italiano e, soprattutto, di un’illustrazione che testimonierebbe la sua possibile appartenenza a Tommaso Campanella pongono il codice in una posizione di sicuro interesse storico e contestualizza in modo peculiare la sua fruizione nell’ambiente culturale napoletano del sedicesimo e diciassettesimo secolo. L’obiettivo principale del progetto consiste, dunque, nel fornire uno strumento che permetta la più ampia fruizione e lo studio di un manoscritto finora praticamente sconosciuto ma unico nel suo genere. Oltre a dettagliare le modalità di marcatura dei testi e di codifica degli elementi paratestuali, si fornirà un piano preliminare di edizione, che verrà realizzato attraverso l’interfaccia open source EVT

    The effectiveness of traditional teaching-learning process in Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing CAM and Computer Numerical control CNC (CAD-CAM-CNC) module has been evaluated against recently developed two blended teaching learning models. The blended learning systems have been developed by integrating computer assisted instructions with the traditional teaching learning system. This study in particular reports teachers’ and students’ views about various facets of teaching and learning process under different modes. It has been see that blended learning modes find better acceptance amongst teachers and students as co mpared to traditional teaching mode

    This is a piece of a column of a Business English Course which Enrico Reggiani wrote and edited for the Italian economics newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore del Lunedì for more than twenty years (1986-2008). In this case, The Financial Times was its original English source. Between 1996 and 2008, Reggiani’s column became weekly and was organized in three sections: THE complete TRANSLATION of a specialized article on socio-political-economic subjects from The Financial Times; THE SPECIALIZED LEXICON: THE DICTIONARY, a commented glossary of the most important specialized terms recurring in the article; THE SPECIALIZED LEXICON: THE KEYWORDS, where fundamental specialized words and phrases from the same article are commented from various points of view: linguistic, literary, cultural, institutional, et al

    Lebanese youth narratives: a bleak post-war landscape

    To identify the themes that define the lives of a generation living in a conflict-ridden post-war society, I explore the changing views of Lebanese students through an analysis of the personal narrative texts that they created during my creative writing workshops over a 16-year period (1997-2012). Increasingly, young Lebanese feel trapped in a violent past, a threatening present and a hopeless future. As traditional forms of stability and loyalty (family and state) become more dysfunctional, modern alternative sources of education, employment, security and public discourse remain absent, creating an ever-widening disjunction between expectations and disheartening lived realities. Since 1998, student texts have focused on three salient thematic groupings: Idealism (1998-2005), Activism (2005-2008) and, most recently, Disillusionment (2008-present). In an atmosphere of escalating intolerance and hostility, it is hardly surprising that students are currently escaping to spaces of indulgence and personal gratification. As ongoing regional conflicts fuel local sectarian rivalries, I argue that reengaging educated young Lebanese in non-confrontational narratives that challenge dysfunctional systems can play a vital role in disrupting a dangerous sectarian narrative that is fast threatening to entangle Lebanon in yet another brutal war. © 2014 © 2013 British Association for International and Comparative Education.Alyan Hala, 2006, HIKAYAT SHORT STORIE, P192; Asseily Alexandra, 2009, EXPLORING SELFHOOD F, P37; Bauman Zygmunt, 2000, LIQUID MODERNITY; Bloom L.

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
