Simone de Beauvoir «imprevista». Note filosofico-giuridiche sul corpo in situazione
No full textSi discute ancora molto sulla controversa figura di Simone de Beauvoir, l’intellettuale francese che nel secolo scorso ha destato scandalo tanto con la sua produzione letteraria, quanto con le proprie scelte di vita. Eppure, nonostante su di lei tanto sia stato detto, la sua figura rimane ancora oggi, per certi versi, inafferrabile: a quasi trent’anni dalla morte, infatti, provare a rispondere a qualunque domanda volta a chiarire chi sia stata Simone de Beauvoir sembra un’impresa irrimediabilmente destinata al fallimento. Invero, sia i suoi scritti, sia quelli dei suoi critici spesso non offrono elementi realmente utili a ricostruire una figura unitaria, ma pongono il lettore davanti a tante immagini, in genere confliggenti, che portano a chiedersi se, in fondo, non esistessero molteplici Simone.
È, questo, un elemento per certi versi ironico, forse paradossale; per lungo tempo la vulgata comune ha individuato con relativa certezza in Simone de Beauvoir una delle capostipiti del femminismo contemporaneo, nonché un’intellettuale della sinistra francese che ha abbracciato posizioni esistenzialiste e tradotto in campo letterario l’originale filosofia sartriana. Eppure, senza rifiutare sic et simpliciter questi dati – che a prima vista oggi, sono i soli ad essere quasi indiscussi – ci sono buoni motivi per effettuare alcune, significative precisazioni con riguardo ad entrambi i profili, nella convinzione che de Beauvoir sia una figura infinitamente più complessa e originale di quello che la storia della sua ricezione e lei stessa hanno consegnato ai posteri.
Così, nel par. 2 ci si interrogherà su quale sia stata la relazione di de Beauvoir con femminismo, mentre nel par. 3 si seguirà quel filone della letteratura femminista nordamericana che ha interpretato il pensiero dell’intellettuale francese in chiave fenomenologica, in modo da riproporre gli elementi di originalità presenti nelle tesi beauvoriane (e, conseguentemente, rimarcare la distanza filosofica tra de Beauvoir e Sartre). Nel par. 4 si concentrerà l’attenzione sulla concezione di corpo che emerge nei suoi scritti, mentre nel paragrafo conclusivo si suggeriranno alcune possibili implicazioni giusfilosofiche del suo pensiero, nella convinzione della perdurante attualità della sua analisi teorica
ECO-MANAGEMENT DELL'AMBIENTE COSTRUITO: SISTEMI DI RATING ED INDICATORI AMBIENTALI PER L'EDILIZIA RESIDENZIALE
No full textThe experimentation gets into a general programmatic frame defined by the D.G.R. 133\2010 in pursuance of the “Sistema di Certificazione di sostenibilità ambientale degli edifici” whereby the Regione Lazio expects competition procedures to integrate the environmental restoration targets and to reorganize the suburbs.
The research was organized through the study and the definition of the intervention modalities aimed at the improvement of the technological, environmental and energetic performances and it focused on Rules and reference methods for the evaluation of public housing sustainability, related to commitments derived by the application of regulation Certificazione Ambientale ex art.9 L.R.6/2008 of Regione Lazio.

Array-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization in Early-Stage Mycosis Fungoides: Recurrent Deletion of Tumor Suppressor Genes BCL7A, SMAC/DIABLO, and RHOF
No full textThe definitive version may be found at www.wiley.comAbstractThe etiology of mycosis fungoides (MF), the most frequent form of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), is poorly understood. No specific genetic aberration has been detected, especially in early‐stage disease, possibly due to the clinical and histological heterogeneity of patient series and to the different sources of malignant cells (skin, blood, or lymph node) included in most studies. Frozen skin biopsies from 16 patients with early‐stage MF were studied using array‐based comparative genomic hybridization. A DNA pool from healthy donors was used as the reference. Results demonstrated recurrent loss of 19, 7p22.1‐p22.3, 7q11.1‐q11.23, 9q34.12, 12q24.31, and 16q22.3‐q23.1, and gain of 8q22.3‐q23.1 and 21q22.12. The 12q24.31 region was recurrently deleted in 7/16 patients. Real‐time PCR investigation for deletion of genes BCL7A, SMAC/DIABLO, and RHOF—three tumor suppressor genes with a putative role in hematological malignancies—demonstrated that they were deleted in 9, 10, and 13 cases, respectively. The identified genomic alterations and individual genes could yield important insights into the early steps of MF pathogenesis. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.Angelo Carbone, Laura Bernardini, Francesco Valenzano, Irene Bottillo, Clara De Simone, Rodolfo Capizzi, Anna Capalbo, Francesca Romano, Antonio Novelli, Bruno Dallapiccola and Pierluigi Ameri
ADAPTIVE DENOISING FILTERING FOR OBJECT DETECTION APPLICATIONS
No full textThe widespread of augmented reality applications, cognitive video surveillance, autonomous or supportive navigation systems, has increased the importance of accurate object detection algorithms. However, the presence of noise depending on the characteristics of the acquisition device, on lighting intensity and directions, and on weather conditions, could severely degrade the performance of such applications. As a matter of fact, effective ad-hoc denoising strategies are required since traditional noise removal algorithms designed to improve the quality of the image, could even worsen the accuracy of detection. This paper presents a low-cost adaptive filtering strategy that adapts the characteristics of the filter depending on the impact of each image region on the feature sets. This solution permits improving the correct detection percentage of approximately 30%with respect to using noisy images. The approach is generally intended for object detection algorithms based on Histogram-of-Oriented-Gradients (HOG) and can run in real time on a limited complexity hardware
A saliency-based rate control for people detection in video
No full textMost of latest-generation multimedia systems are equipped with increasingly-effective object detection algorithms (e.g., intelligent video surveillance systems, augmented reality applications, sharing platforms for multimedia data, etc.). Unfortunately, images and video are usually available in compressed formats, which makes object detection more difficult because of the additional distortion noise. In this paper we show that it is possible to mitigate this problem by introducing a rate allocation algorithm that preserves important details for object identification algorithms. We propose a saliency map that identifies crucial elements for detectors. Then, we map saliency values to the value of the quantization parameter to be used by the video coder. Experimental results on HEVC coder show that the proposed rate control algorithm improves the accuracy with respect to the standard strategy
Il riso dei vinti
No full textThe paper is an afterword, analyzing the text of the memoir by Anna Szyszko-Grzywacz about her experience in the GULag camps (1945-1956) as compared to some classical works such as Inny świat by Gustaw Herling Grudziński or Po wyzwoleniu by Wiktoria Kraśniewska. The text offers an insight based on a gender studies approach, stressing the fact that women in Soviet forced labor camps had to face not only brutal labor conditions and starvation as their male counterparts but also sexual harassment, abuse, or physical rape. The paper highlights the original contribution given by the author of the book to a still neglected topic

Cross-Layer Joint Optimization of FEC Channel Codes and Multiple Description Coding for Video Delivery over IEEE 802.11e Links
No full textThis paper presents two cross-layer optimisation strategies based on the IEEE 802.11e standard that enable a robust video transmission using adaptively Forward Error Correction channel codes at transport layer and a Multiple Description Coding architecture. The first approach classifies the characteristics of the sequence to be coded, while the second relies on a parametric model of the distortion which is estimated during the coding operations. The performances of these schemes are then improved by a packet classification strategy. Experimental results show that both cross-layer optimisation algorithms perform well with a small computational effort but different playout delays
