    Gloria Fuertes: sconfinare

    No full text
    La censura franchista, in vigore, in Spagna, a partire dagli anni Trenta, interviene su ogni manifestazione o prodotto culturale dell’epoca, con l’intento di diffondere l’ideologia promossa dal franchismo, mettendo a tacere qualunque possibile espressione di dissenso. Il presente lavoro si prefigge di analizzare la controversa figura della poetessa spagnola Gloria Fuertes, la quale, nonostante sia stata lungamente discriminata e confinata nell’ambito ristretto di una letteratura ritenuta marginale, è stata in grado di valicare i limiti imposti dal sistema egemonico e ritagliarsi uno spazio sacro di stridente resistenza antifranchista. Dopo una breve premessa sul concetto di confine e alcuni essenziali cenni biografici, quindi, ci si focalizza prima sulle discriminazioni subite dall’autrice e, dopo, sulla sua sperimentazione di nuove forme e dispositivi narrativi che si rivelano capaci, sotto l’occhio disattento del lettore, di opporsi al discorso ufficiale promosso dal regime ribaltandone i presupposti teorici a favore di un’ideologia liberale e pacifista.During the Franco regime censorship acts on every demonstration or cultural work to spread the ideology promoted by Francoism, silencing any possible dissent. This work aims at analysing the controversial Spanish poet Gloria Fuertes who succeeded in crossing the lines imposed by hegemonic system and carved out her sacred space of anti-francoist resistance, although she had been discriminated for so long and confined within the narrow context of literature considered marginal. After a brief premise about border concept and some essential biographical references, then, the attention at first focuses on discriminations suffered by the author and secondly on her of new style and narrative tools able to oppose to the official speech promoted by the regime by overturning its theoretical assumptions in favour of a liberal and pacifist ideology

    Do You See What I See? A Simulation Analysis of Order Bundling within a Transparent User Network in Geographic Space

    No full text
    The Physical Internet (PI) concept presents a radical change with the aim to revert the unsustainable practices that are used for transporting goods. It identifies dedicated freight flows and transforms them into transparent open logistics networks which can be accessed by other users, such as shippers and carriers. In this paper, we test the universal network openness in which the users can tap into the PI network and place orders that will be assigned to the nearest available transport service and consequently delivered to the order sender. The objective of our paper is to investigate the impact of inserting extra service points into existing dedicated freight flows of a service-driven company. We simulate different transparency levels and routings to new pickup locations and evaluate the impact in terms of altered lead times, covered distances, and fill rates. The novel aspects presented herein are (1) deliveries based on decentralized location detection of the nearest order sender, (2) dynamically changing speed parameters of agents within specific geographic clusters based on their geo-locations in order to account for congestion levels, (3) more realistic routing strategies that consider the urban layout, and (4) transparent querying of nearest agents in space and time that meet specific conditions such as current ongoing processes, available capacity, and position. Finally, we identify the impact from a general/holistic perspective that emerges once extra orders are assigned to the service-driven company's fleet.Ambra, T (reprint author), Vrije Univ Brussel, Pleinlaan 2 PL 5-4-36, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium.

    LAUREA MAGISTRALELo scopo di questo lavoro di tesi `e la sintesi di grafene ossido e l’osservazione della sua efficacia come additivo rinforzante in materiali cementizi. Il grafene ossido `e stato sintetizzato attraverso ossidazione chimica di grafite in polvere in presenza di acido solforico (H2SO4), nitrato di sodio (NaNO3) e permanganato di potassio (KMnO4) seguendo la procedura messa a punto da Hummer. Il grafene ossido (GO), cos`ı sintetizzato, `e stato lavato diverse volte e trattato con ultrasuoni per assicurarne la completa esfoliazione. Parte della soluzione acquosa contenente il GO `e stata essiccata in forno per 24 ore a 70 C, ottenendo dei film di colore nero utilizzati successivamente per la caratterizzazione del GO stesso e per la sintesi dell’ossido di grafene chimicamente modificato con una polieterammina (Jeffammine M600). Abbiamo sottoposto il GO a diversi trattamenti termici per determinare la sua stabilit`a termica e quella dei gruppi funzionali formatisi dopo l’ossidazione. Il grafene ossido chimicamente modificato `e stato ottenuto attraverso una reazione di funzionalizzazione tra il GO e la Jeffammine M600 in presenza di dimetil solfossido (DMSO) come solvente e di dimetil amminopiridina (DMAP) come catalizzatore. La soluzione `e stata mantenuta in agitazione e in atmosfera di azoto per tutto la durata della reazione. Il prodotto ottenuto, GO-Jeffamine M600, `e stato sottoposto ad una fase di purificazione per poi essere essiccato in forno a 70 C per 24 ore. Il GO ed il GO-Jeffammine M600 sono stati caratterizzati utilizzando diverse tecniche: - Spettroscopia Infrarossa e Raman: spettroscopie vibrazionali che forniscono informazioni a livello molecolare dei gruppi funzionali presenti;- Spettrometria ad Emissione Ottica e Analisi Elementare: utilizzata per determinare la quantit`a relativa degli elementi presenti nei campioni; - Diffrattometria a raggi-X: usata al fine di ottenere informazioni sulla struttura cristallografica del materiale; - Analisi Termogravimetriche: forniscono le variazioni delle propriet`a fisiche e chimiche dei campioni in funzione della temperatura; - Microscopia Elettronica a Trasmissione: permette di ottenere immagini dei provini grazie all’interazione tra gli elettroni e il campione; - Diffrazione Elettronica: fornisce informazioni sulla struttura cristallografica dei materiali. La preparazione dei campioni di malta additivata con il GO `e stata effettuata in ambiente controllato, con umidit`a relativa e temperatura costante (20 2 C). I provini sono stati confezionati miscelando il cemento con sabbia, acqua, super fluidificante (PCs) e diverse quantit`a di GO per poi essere testati in compressione, in flessione ed analizzati utilizzando: - Microscopia Elettronica a Scansione: al fine di ottenere informazioni sulla morfologia dei cristalli di cemento; - Spettroscopia a Dispersione di Energia: per rilevare informazioni sulla distribuzione degli elementi presenti nei campioni.This work aims to the synthesis of graphene oxide and to investigate its effect on the mechanical resistance of the cement base composites. Starting from graphite powder we performed a chemical oxidation using sulfuric acid (H2SO4), sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) following the Hummer’s method. The graphene oxide sludge has been washed several times and then sonicated to ensure the complete exfoliation of the platelets. The GO has been dried in the oven for 24 hours at 70 C obtaining black films used for the characterization and for the synthesis of the chemically modified graphene oxide with Jeffamine M600. The GO has been also subjected to different thermal treatment to observe its thermal stability with increasing temperature. The functionalization of the GO with the Jeffamine M600 (polyetheramine), has been performed using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent, dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as catalyst and maintaining the solution under stirring and nitrogen. After the purification stage the GO-Jeffamine M600 has been dried in over for 24 hours at 70 C. The GO and the GO-Jeffamine M600 samples were characterized with several techniques: - Infrared and Raman spectroscopy: vibrational spectroscopy that provides information at molecular level of the functional groups that are present in the samples; - Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry and Elemental Analyses: determines the concentration of element present in the analyzed samples; - X-Ray Diffraction Analyses: gives information about the crystallographic structure of the specimens;- Thermogravimetric Analyses: changes of physical and chemical properties of the materials are measured as function of the increasing temperature; - Transmission Electron Microscopy: an image of the samples is formed due to the interaction of the electrons transmitted through the specimens; - Selected Area Electron Diffraction: provides information about the crystallographic structure. The preparations of the mortar composites specimens was carried out in a controlled environment, with constant relative humidity and temperature (20 2 C). The specimens was prepared by mixing cement, standard sand, water, superplasticizer (PCs) and different amount of GO. The mortars samples were tested for the compression and flexural resistance and characterized using: - Scanning Electron Microscopy: gives information about the morphology of the hydrated crystals; - Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy: provides the distribution of elements present in the samples
