Combinazioni lessicali fisse in italiano e spagnolo: dettagli determinanti
No full textIl presente contributo intende indagare le proprietà di una tipologia di combinazione lessicale, la locuzione verbale, nella lingua italiana e in quella spagnola, incentrandosi su due aspetti che possono rivelarsi decisivi, ovvero 1) la corrispondenza interlinguistica dei verbi ‘dar’–‘dare’ e ‘hacer’–‘fare’, anche nella loro veste di verbi supporto e 2) la presenza di determinante e, nello specifico, di articolo determinativo o di articolo indeterminativo nell’unità sintagmatica

“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy
Multi-parametric and distributed RFID sensing
No full textThe radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensors are considered one of the enabling technologies for the Internet of Thing (IoT) paradigm, capable to connect every physical object to the cloud for exchanging information. Starting from the its intuitive working principle, based on the backscattering modulation, the strengths of the RFID technology rely on its stealthy nature, low-complex electronics and low-power demanding. These features all together made this technology competitive not only for logistic purposes, as natural replacement of the barcode, but also in all those contexts and applications where embedded, remote or even passive sensing capabilities are required. Moreover, the RFID sensing technology can support large scale implementation thanks to its low-cost manufacturing process. Despite of the above mentioned advantages w.r.t. other active technologies (such as Bluetooth and WiFi), they are not as pervasive as expected in industry and daily life yet. In the context of the digital -passive and battery assisted passive (BAP)- Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) RFID sensors, this thesis focuses on four main challenges that the UHF-RFID technology should face up with to boost its rise outside the logistic scenario: detuning, complexity, density and reliability. The natural dependence on the surrounding materials makes the design of the antenna a delicate task. Although the recent progress in the development of IC modules with self-tuning capabilities, the impedance mismatch between antenna and IC can still seriously limiting the tag performance when it operates in an environment not considered during the antenna design stage. Considering the high electromagnetic variability of the human body, this thesis investigated a compact, time-saving and bidirectional tuning mechanism to overcome the detuning effect, hence performance loss, when the RFID transponder is applied on different body parts. Exploiting one of the most attractive feature of the digital RFID sensors, i.e. their II being low-complex electronic platforms, this thesis shown the development of an epidermal flexible RFID sensor board suitable for multi-sensing purposes. The potentiality of the developed RFID board was demonstrated by the simultaneous acquisition of three parameters, such as skin temperature, pH of the sweat and sodium concentration in a buffer solution. Compared to other active technologies, the proposed UHF-RFID multisensing board is a valid candidate for the massive and automatic monitoring of patients/user or athletes. Another challenge concerns the application of sensors on large surfaces to monitor their status, such as the presence of structural damages. This issue includes two aspect, namely the deployment of discrete sensors and the development of distributed ones. By focusing on the distributed sensors, this thesis introduced the novel idea of using pre-fractal curves as distributed crack detectors. By exploiting the features of some Space-Filling Curve (SFC) families, the leading idea is to wrap the SFC-based electrode to the target surface like a tattoo; the connection of that distribute electrodes to an UHF-RFID IC with anti-tamper capabilities allows the real-time crack detection and digitalization. Unlike the common crack detection techniques based on the shift of the resonance frequency of the antenna due to the crack occurrence, the proposed method keeps the sensor separated by the RFID transponder. As shown in this thesis through several experiments, this feature extends the applicability of this approach to different kind of materials, from plastic to metals, passing through stretchable objects. A further step towards the stable adoption of the UHF-RFID sensing-oriented ICs into industrial processes might be done by improving the reliability of such technology in extreme conditions. This thesis carried out a thermal analysis on two different UHF-RFID transponders, since their behavior in medium/high temperature is mostly unknown. The study revealed the need for a correction factor to overcome acquisition errors due to high temperature exposition. The compensation in the thermal drift facilitated the adoption of those RFID sensors in a real industrial scenario, driving the manufacturing process towards the Industry 4.0 framework. Overall, all the insights provided by this thesis can be considered as a further milestone for the advancement in the exploiting the sensing capabilities of the RFID technology in some strategic fields, such as manufacturing, healthcare and structural health monitoring

Was bringt die Föderalismusreform? Wahrscheinliche Effekte der geänderten Zustimmungspflicht
No full textThe recently enacted reform of German federalism is supposed to make legislation faster, more efficient and better. To what extent are these expectations justified? In order to assess the likely effects of the reform, this study uses a research design that was recently applied by the Research and Reference Services of the German Bundestag (parliament): we estimate the future effects of the reform by analyzing the impact it would have had on the legislation in the 14th and 15th term of the Bundestag if it had already been been in force at that time. In particular we ask: To what extent would the number of laws requiring the consent of the states' chamber, the Bundesrat, have been reduced? Which type of laws would have been affected by this reduction - the more controversial ones, or the less controversial ones? Which policy sectors would have seen the greatest reduction? How much would the reduction have increased the government's capacity to act effectively? Would the legislative process have been accelerated? -- Die verabschiedete Föderalismusreform soll die Gesetzgebung in Deutschland schneller, effizienter und besser machen. Inwiefern sind diese Erwartungen berechtigt? Zur Abschätzung der Reformfolgen auf die Bundesgesetzgebung folgen wir in dem vorliegenden Working Paper einer Vorgehensweise, die der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages kürzlich in einer Studie angewandt hat: Die Auswirkungen der Föderalismusreform insbesondere auf die Zustimmungspflicht werden anhand der Gesetzgebung der 14. und 15. Legislaturperiode untersucht. Wir fragen insbesondere: Wie stark hätte sich der Anteil der Zustimmungsgesetze verringert, wenn die neuen Zustimmungsregeln schon in diesen beiden Legislaturperioden gegolten hätten? Wären eher zwischen Regierung strittige oder unstrittige Gesetze von der Zustimmungspflicht befreit worden? Welche Politikbereiche wären betroffen? Wie sehr hätte sich die politische Handlungsfreiheit der Bundesregierung erhöht? Wäre die Gesetzgebung durch die veränderten Zustimmungsregeln beschleunigt worden?
RFID-Based Stress Predictive Engineering
No full textThe aging of materials is one of the main causes of failure of instruments and
devices. Availability of early detection tools can improve the Predictive
Maintenance process to extend the lifetime of devices, saving on costs and time.
We here introduce the new paradigm of wireless monitoring of surface integrity
based on Space Filling Curves (SFC). It acts as an artificial electric skin suitable
to envelope a surface to detect from remote the presence of small aging signs. In
particular, the occurrence of an even small surface crack is detected in a binary
form and transmitted remotely, following a standard RFID interrogation. The
feasibility of the idea is supported by numerical analysis and experimental
outcomes on 2D and curved thin, flexible and stretchable surfaces and metallic
objects, such as an orthopedic prosthesis
