Local stability for soft obstacles by a single measurement
No full textWe consider an inverse scattering problem arising in target iden-
tification. We prove a local stability result of logarithmic type for the deter-
mination of a sound soft obstacle from the far field measurements associated
to one single incident wave
Italo Calvino in arabo. I nomi propri nelle Fiabe italiane
No full textI nomi propri, che all’interno del sistema linguistico hanno uno status speciale rispetto ai nomi comuni, possono essere usati come elementi linguistici caratterizzanti nei testi letterari e quindi nella trama di tali opere possono diventare un elemento significativo dotato di un carico semantico aggiuntivo, il che rende non facile il lavoro di traduzione del testo, specialmente se la lingua e la cultura di partenza e quelle di arrivo sono diverse fra di essi. La presente si concentra sull’analisi dei diversi aspetti linguistici che accompagnano la traduzione in arabo dei nomi propri utilizzati da Calvino nelle Fiabe italiane e, di conseguenza, sulle eventuali procedure onomastiche adoperate nel processo traduttivo di tali nomi propri, specialmente quelli letterari che di solito pongono veri problemi di traduzione nel caso della mancata corrispondenza tra cultura di partenza e quella di destinazione. Italo Calvino è uno degli scrittori italiani contemporanei che negli ultimi anni hanno riscontrato maggiore successo a livello internazionale. Al giorno d’oggi nel mondo arabo Calvino è uno degli scrittori stranieri più conosciuti e tradotti. Tale fama di Calvino e l’attuale interesse che l’autore possiede sono i principali motivi della nostra scelta di analizzare alcuni aspetti linguistici e onomastici nelle traduzioni in arabo delle Fiabe italiane. basandosi su due traduzioni in arabo. La prima porta il titolo di خرافات إيطالية: جمعهَا ونقلهَا من التراث الشعبيْ ايطلو كلفينُو /ḫorafāt iṭalyah: ğamacaha wa naqalaha minat-turati aššacbi italu calfinu/ ‘fiabe italiane: raccolte e trascritte dalla tradizione popolare da parte di Italo Calvino’, del traduttore tunisino Assomai Ahmed e fu pubblicata in Tunisia nel 1988, mentre la seconda porta il titolo di حكايات إيتالو كالفينو: قصص وخرافات من التراث الشعبى الإيطالى خلال المائة سنة الأخيرة. جمعها وصاغها وترجمها من اللهجات المحلية المختلفة: إيتالو كالڤينو /ḥikaiāt italu kalfinu: qiṣaṣ wa ḫorafāt minat-turati aššacbi al-’itāli ḫilāl al-mi’ati sanati al-’aḫīrah. ğamacaha wa ṣāġaha wa tarğamaha minal-lahağāti al-maḥallyati al-muḫtalifah: italu kalvinu/ ‘Racconti di Italo Calvino: racconti e fiabe dalla tradizione popolare italiana durante gli ultimi cento anni, raccolte, trascritte e tradotte dai vari dialetti da Italo Calvino’, della traduttrice egiziana Waly Naglaa, e fu pubblicata in Egitto nel 2007 in quattro volumi
Considering the Social Sustainability of Sardinia’s Rural Landscape: The Role of Local Identities
No full textThis paper originates from the presumption that in order to be sustainable, rural landscape must be the expression of cultural heritage and local identity. We consider the constraints and opportunities embedded in insularity per se, regarding Sardinia both as a whole territory and as a sum of diverse cultural zones. Local communities are not always able to fully express their individuality through landscapes. Our goal is to demonstrate how the community/landscape linkage should be structured by considering two theoretical approaches: that of Capabilities and Functionings by Sen (1985, 1986, 1993), and that coming from literature on Social Capital considering the institutional framework (North, 1994).
The first approach aims to demonstrate how the choice of activating specific sets of functionings, making an area unique, is influenced by local culture; the second one demonstrates how social capital is crucial in the construction and preservation of local identities. Subsequently we analyzed interrelations between the above-mentioned approaches, focusing on some topics suggested in literature (e.g. Migheli, 2011). This theoretical framework can be used as a support in defining specific policy guidelines
Stable determination of a rigid scatterer in elastodynamics
No full textWe deal with an inverse elastic scattering problem for the shape determination of a rigid scatterer in the time-harmonic regime. We prove a local stability estimate of log log type for the identification of a scatterer by a single far-field measurement. The needed a priori condition on the closeness of the scatterers is estimated by the universal constant appearing in the Friedrichs inequality
The National Park of La Maddalena: Estimates of the Econoic aspects of a Protected Area
No full textThis paper carries out a comparative evaluation of the various alternatives which make up the available or hypothetical different models for use of the National Park of La Maddalena. These form part of the various initiatives - listed in the work - proposed for tourist exploitation in a sustainable way. The evaluation applies the non-monetary multi-criteria analysis known as Regime analysis. The final grading alternatives is related to how well they meet the objectives which have been identified as the criteria for evaluation. The study offers helpful indications about priorities for practical initiatives to exploit the area collectively
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
«Mais, moi, j’adorais la grammaire dès le début.» La nozione di grammatica secondo Roman Jakobson
No full text1. Introduzione Il titolo di questo contributo riecheggia le parole di Roman Jakobson in un’intervista da lui rilasciata a Tzvetan Todorov. Di seguito ne viene riportato un estratto più ampio: - (T. Todorov) Cet intérêt pour la poésie n’a jamais été dissocié chez vous de l’intérêt pour le langage. Quand avez-vous commencé à vous intéresser à la description de la langue elle-même?- (R. Jakobson) Je me souviens de beaucoup de mes camarades d’école que les leçons de grammaire ennuyaient particul..
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
