Consideraciones sobre la poética de Claudio Rodríguez
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to study the poetics of Claudio Rodríguez, delimiting its components and trying to clarify them and to present them as a whole. The author left some pages written on his conception of poetry that encourage reflection and, in some cases, interpretation. So with his conception of poetry as a gift and inebriation, as an alliance and condemnation or celebration (giving title to his collections of poems), or with notions such as «participation», «living contemplation», «living expression » or «personal rhythm» that make up his way of understanding the poetic process.El propósito de este artículo es estudiar la poética de Claudio Rodríguez, deslindando sus componentes y tratando de clarificarlos y presentarlos en su conjunto. El autor dejó escritas algunas páginas sobre su concepción de la poesía que animan a la reflexión y, en algunos casos, a la interpretación. Así sucede con su concepción de la poesía como un don y una ebriedad, como alianza y condena o como celebración (que dan título a sus poemarios), o con nociones como las de «participación», «contemplación viva», «expresión viva» o «ritmo personal», que configuran su forma de entender el proceso poético

"Review of models combining traffic assignment and signal control"
No full textThe author reviews a class of models that combine equilibrium traffic assignment and intersection control into a single analysis framework under the assumption of flow-responsive signal settings. The most unique feature of the models is their capacity to consider explicitly the mutual interactions between signal control policies and user route choices--interactions that are usually disregarded in ordinary traffic assignment models and in everyday traffic engineering practice. After describing the combined traffic assignment and control problem, and reviewing alternative formulas and solution algorithms, a discussion is presented on the possible approaches to modeling the various types of link interactions that emerge from the combined use of intersections by competing traffic movements. The author addresses important conceptual issues and implementation aspects, including potential policy implications. The key finding of the survey is that, while the theoretical properties of combined traffic assignment and control models have been extensively studied for two decades and are now well understood, a lack of empirical results and real-world applications are evident, which is necessary to promote the transfer of this modeling approach from research to professional practice
Graves’ Sejanus. Il prefetto del pretorio di Tiberio nel romanzo I, Claudius
No full textThe figure of Lucius Aelius Seianus, the praefect of the praetorium of Tiberius, is of remarkable importance in
Robert Graves' novel I, Claudius. From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, published in1934. The approach
between the historical and the fictional by Graves, a great-grandson of Leopold von Ranke, is particularly interesting
for a controversial character such as the 'evil' praefect described in the sources. If in some cases the author
merely dramatizes the account of ancient historiography, which the novelist knows very well; elsewhere he amplifies
the role of Tiberius' right-hand man. Even more interesting are the episodes that, although without documentary
basis, are nonetheless entirely plausible. Graves views the knight Sejanus as a parvenu and in a decidedly
snobbish manner, perhaps influenced by his knowledge of Oxonian circles. In Claudius' awareness – Lucius Aelius
had been no worse a villain than others and darker times with a Caligula 'educated' by Tiberius were approaching
– we might perhaps glimpse the awareness of equally dark times that Graves, from his Majorcan retreat, saw
looming for Europe in the early 1930s.La figura di Lucio Elio Seiano, il prefetto del pretorio di Tiberio, ha un’importanza notevole nel romanzo di Robert
Graves I, Claudius. From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius del 1934. L’approccio tra lo storico e il romanzato
di Graves, pro-nipote di Leopold von Ranke, è di particolare interesse per un personaggio così controverso
come il prefetto ‘cattivo’ descritto nelle fonti. Se in alcuni casi l’autore si limita a drammatizzare il racconto della
storiografia antica, che il romanziere mostra di conoscere assai bene, altrove amplifica il ruolo del braccio destro
di Tiberio. Ancora più interessanti sono poi gli episodi che, pur senza avere alcuna base documentaria, sono però
del tutto verosimili. Graves guarda il cavaliere Seiano come un parvenu e in un modo decisamente snob, forse influenzato
dalla sua conoscenza degli ambienti oxoniensi. E nella consapevolezza di Claudio, che riteneva che alla
fine Lucio Elio non fosse stato un villain peggiore di altri e che i tempi più bui di un Caligola ‘educato’ da Tiberio
si andavano avvicinando, potremmo forse intravedere la consapevolezza di tempi altrettanto bui che Graves, dal
suo ritiro maiorchino, vedeva profilarsi per l’Europa all’inizio degli anni ’30
Corporate Cash Holdings, National Culture, and Multinationality
No full textWe examine the relations between national cultures, the multinationality of the firm and its holdings of cash. We develop several hypotheses from well known corporate finance theories and theories of the multinational firm, positing that cultural factors as well as the degree of multinationality of firms influence their decisions to hold cash. In particular, firms in countries with high uncertainty avoidance, as a national culture, hold more cash as a way to hedge against undesired states of nature. Furthermore, as a reflection of their longer business cycles, multinational firms typically hold more cash. At the same time, however, the multinationality of the firm moderates the effects of culture on the firm’s decision to hold liquid assets. Based on a large panel of firms in forty countries, we present evidence consistent with these hypotheses. While firms in countries with high levels of uncertainty avoidance tend to hold more cash, the degree of multinationality of the firm is positively correlated with holdings of cash. On the other hand, the effect of national culture on firm’s cash holdings is lower for multinationals.Cash, Culture, Finance
