La tutela del passeggero nella disciplina Euro-unitaria e nella giurisprudenza della Corte di Giustizia
No full textStarting 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 textThe 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
No full textWith 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 textThis 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
No full textThe 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 textThe 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
No full textThis 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
Dinâmica da relação "turcos-sultão" nos séculos XVII-XVIII e efeitos de sentido: pode-se falar de acontecimentos semântico?
No full textIn a corpus composed of dictionary entries, literary text and voyage diaries, Rachele Raus analyses the change of sense in the relation Turks-sultan as it is represented by the French between the 17th and 18th centuries. The author interprets elements such as: the reduction of voyage diaries in the 18th century: the role of god attributed to the sultan in the 17th century and that of a tyrant in the second half of the 18th century: the sensuality attributed to the sultan in the 17th century and extended to the turks in the 18th century: the representation of the harém related to the lack of liberty of women due to (religious) despotism in the 18th century: the passage of a Turkish silence in the 17th century to a turkish rebelion to a turkish rebellion in the 18th century. The fact that the changes between the two centuries do not correspond to effective changes in the Ottoman Empire leads the author to assume that the re-elaboration of the referent 'turks-sultan' by the French is not indifferent to the approach of the French Revolution and that it constitutes, for the lexical and discursive effects that it brings with it, a semantic event.Em um corpus de verbetes de dicionário, textos literários e de viagem, Rachele Raus analisa a mudança de sentido na relação turcos-sultao tal como representada pelos franceses entre os séculos XXVII e XVIII. A autora interpreta elementos como: a diminuição dos textos de viagem no século XVIII: o papel de Deus impingido ao sultão no século XVII e o de tirano na segunda metade do século XVIII: a sensualidade atribuída ao sultão no século XVII e estendida aos turcos no século XVIII: a representação do harém relacionada a falta da liberdade das mulheres devido ao despotismo (religioso) no século XVIII: O fato de que as mudanças ocorridas entre os dois seculos não correspondem a mudanças efetivas no imperio otomano levam a autora a supor que a reelaboração do referente 'turco-sultão' pelos franceses não seja indiferente a proximidade a revolução francesa, e que ela constitua, pelos efeitos lexicais e discursivos que carrega, um acontecimento semântico.Em um corpus de verbetes de dicionário, textos literários e de viagem, Rachele Raus analisa a mudança de sentido na relação turcos-sultao tal como representada pelos franceses entre os séculos XXVII e XVIII.

Saharan dust deposition effects on production in the Mediterranean Sea
No full textMemoria de tesis doctoral presentada por Rachele Gallisai para optar al grado de Doctora por la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), realizada bajo la dirección del Dr. Francesc Peters del Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC).-- 139 pagesThe potential capacity of fertilization of surface oceans by atmospheric deposition is of scientific interest. This is especially true in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea. Its surface waters are extremely poor in nutrients necessary for plankton growth. At the same time, it borders with the largest and most active desert area in the world and the atmosphere over the basin is subject to frequent injections of mineral dust particles. Moreover, future scenarios foresee increases in the region's aridity, thus increasing the dust load, as well as changes in ocean stratification that will increase the potential impact of dust deposition on surface waters. Thus, it is important to study the links between deposition and plankton stimulation.
