    Spatial analysis, decision support systems (DSS) and land use design: the case-study of antique viability system in San Martino valley (Lombardy, Italy)

    No full text
    This paper concerns the development of a Decision Support System (DSS), which is a system able to support temporal and spatial choices about land use design, in order to project and manage the antique viability system in San Martino valley (located in Lombardy, Italy) The main purpose is providing to a project manager necessary information to help him to understand problems (in particular concerning the spatial system of viability), therefore assists him to analyze the question from different points of view. This process needs a particular informative architecture, based on a complex and relational structured system (DSS) able to produce response for the whole decision process. The DSS is interfaced with a GIS in order to manage cartography and alphanumeric files with geo-referenced data. It works on information which are supposed to be indispensable for the planners of the San Martino valley.

    This paper details the history of Italian immigrants in Trail, their homeland in San Martino, Italy, and the activities that the San Martino Club puts on in Trail. Food, games, and other cultural traditions are described, having been brought over from Italy to Canada, and kept alive in part through the communal effort of the San Martino Club.Student paper submitted for Anthropology 101

    Antropologia, critica, riflessività in Ernesto de Martino

    No full text
    Il capitolo ricostruisce alcuni aspetti della ricerca e della riflessione di Ernesto de Martino, soprattutto quel suo concetto di "etnocentrismo critico" che appare, se interpretato con gli strumenti dell'antropologia contemporanea, molto vicino alle odierne prospettive critico-riflessive e dialogiche

    Guerra dal cyberspazio - La difesa delle reti infrastrutturali critiche dalla minaccia cibernetica

    Il volume raccoglie gli Atti dei Panel intelligence, globalizzazione e interesse nazionale svoltisi nei convegni 2013 e 2014 della Società Italiana di Scienza Politica (SISP). È ormai opinione comune che solo la diffusione della cultura dell’intelligence può consentire di superare le vecchie diffidenze nei confronti dei servizi d’informazione, e che in un sistema democratico l’intelligence ha bisogno della collaborazionee delle competenze della società civile e dell’ambiente accademico. L’opera mette a confronto argomenti e punti di vista di addetti ai lavori, esponenti delle professioni e docenti universitari. I temi trattati riguardano l’esame del quadro geopolitico internazionale, le minacce alle infrastrutture critiche, l’intelligence economica, lo spionaggio economico e finanziario, l’organizzazione dei servizi di sicurezza, la cyber intelligence, i social media, i pericoli della moneta virtuale e la crescente rilevanza dello spazio cibernetico

    Flavour Changing Neutral Current transitions B → Xs/d γ and B → Xs/d l + l − provide an excellent laboratory for the search for physics beyond the Standard Model and for the study of the dynamics of b-quark inside B mesons. B → Xs/d γ and B → Xs/d l + l − decays are selected from the samples of events collected by the BaBar, Belle and CDF detectors by means of several strategies. Standard Model tests are performed through measurements of inclusive BR(B → Xs/d γ ), BR(B → Xs/d l +l −), CP and isospin asymmetries, and the study of the relevant angular distributions in B → Xs/d l + l − decays. A |Vt d /Vt s | measurement with reduced theoretical uncertainties is obtained from the branching fraction ratio BR(b → d γ )/BR(b → sγ ). The most precise |Vcb | determination is extracted by global fits to the moments of inclusive dis- tributions in B → Xc l ν and B → Xs γ using the kinetic mass scheme. Uncertainties on shape functions in the measurement of |Vub | using inclusive semileptonic decays B → Xu l ν are limited by comparing the partial rates for B → Xu l ν and B → Xs γ in restricted phase space regions

    The "development" dilemma in the literary production of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries: Rethinking ideologies across literature

    No full text
    This chapter aims to explore the debate on "development theory" especially embodied in the dichotomy between "civilization" and "barbarism" in the literary production of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, by reading the ideological and political messages hidden in the most relevant works by classical authors in Latin American and postcolonial Anglophone literature. The chapter is structured into three main sections. Firstly, the author will draw an itinerary across the historical debate on "development", showing approaches and conceptualizations. Secondly, the author will explore the relationship between the political messages and ideological positions of significant authors and their works in the literary production of the selected period. To conclude, the author will set out the most relevant elements that reveal the link between the ideological debate on "development" and the literary production, suggesting new ways of interpretation for future researches

    Sound, Music and Listening in Oscar Wilde and James Joyce

    No full text
    In his writings Joyce often expressed a sense of closeness to and profound fascination with Wilde as both a great artist and an outsider. Wilde the aesthete was in some ways a forerunner of Joyce and both writers were to become exiles. Moreover, both authors often conceived their writing intersemiotically, that is, through the lens of other art forms, such as music and the visual arts. In this sense, Joyce and Wilde’s Irishness also coincided with the two writers’ interest in the oral dimension of folklore, i.e. in literature as sound and music, an element that powerfully emerges in Wilde’s short stories and in Joyce’s novels. Most importantly, both Wilde and Joyce seem to invite us to think of literature as a musical performance. In short, in the very act of reading, we literally ‘play’ Wilde, we ‘play’ Joyce; the reader becomes, in other words, an echo chamber exceeding the realm of the self, in a vital and never-ending vibration with and through others
