Two Versions of the Same Narrative – Astrid Lindgren’s Mio, min Mio in Swedish and Danish
No full textThis article is in part a review of the literary qualities of the narrative tales written by the Swedish children’s author Astrid Lindgren and in part a comparative reading of the Swedish Mio, min Mio (Mio, my son) and its Danish translation from 1955. It will be shown how the Danish version has been adapted from the Swedish and how as a result the Danish version of the narrative does not have the same literary quality as the original.Cet article est en partie une revue des qualités littéraires des contes narratifs de l’auteur suédoise pour enfants, Astrid Lindgren, et en partie une comparaison de la version suédoise de Mio, min Mio et de sa traduction danoise de 1955. On montre comment la version danoise a été adaptée du suédois et ainsi pourquoi la version danoise n’a pas les mêmes qualités littéraires que l’original
'O sole mio, Umberto Giordano and a possible plagiarism
No full textPlagiarism in music is a complicated subject, difficult to discuss also because of the legislative confusion that characterizes our age governed by copyright. Suffice it to say that in the juridical sphere the decisive proof of a musical plagiarism is often represented by the simple listening, or rather by the aesthetic emotional reaction that the suspected plagiarism is able to arouse. From a historical-musical perspective, the present article casts doubt on the originality of the refrain tune of ‘O sole mio (1898), one of the most famous songs ever. Its author, Eduardo Di Capua (assisted by another musician, Alfredo Mazzucchi, as a judge has established with a recent sentence), could actually have plagiarized a song (Canzon d’amor) that Umberto Giordano wrote for his verismo melodrama Mala vita (1892, then revised in 1897). A series of clues would prove it: the uncertain origins of ‘O sole mio, the collaborative methods of Di Capua and Mazzucchi, the common practice in the production of Neapolitan songs to copy other people’s works, the fact that Di Capua himself was already publicly accused of plagiarism for another of his 1895 songs. Above all, the plagiarism would be demonstrated by the musical analysis of the two pieces: the camouflage attempt made in ‘O sole mio, through a well-proven melodic construction technique, as regards the Canzon d’amor tune

Specimen d'una nuova edizione del Cantar de Mio Cid (lasse 9-16)
No full textAs part of his work on a new edition of Cantar de mio Cid, the author presents a sample of the verses 100-284 of the poem in a twofold synoptic version, with an interpretative text and a critical reconstruction. The first is true to the single manuscript and only corrects the copyist’s mistakes. The latter is based on the metric theory that was explained by the author in other essays, enriched by the resort to indirect tradition, usus scribendi, conformatio textus and the plot’s inner logic. The text is accompanied by philological notes
Notitie "Beheer en ontwikkeling van de zeewerende duinen, nu en in de toekomst: Zeereepbeheer en sluftervorming"
No full textDe Nederlandse duinkust is zowel nationaal als in Europees verband door de variatie aan duinvormen en duinecosystemen met hun karakteristieke plante- en diersoorten van bijzondere betekenis. Door een aantal oorzaken is er sprake van aantasting van deze betekenis. Eén ervan is de opgetreden verstarring van de geomorfologische processen. Een te vastliggend (alleen op het behoud van wat er is gericht) beheer sluit niet aan bij het van nature dynamische duinlandschap. Ingegaan werd op mogelijkheden om zoveel mogelijk met natuurlijke processen rekening te houden, zonder daarbij de veiligheid in gevaar te brengen. Ingegaan werd op de mogelijkheden van een meer dynamisch kustbeheer, waarbij ook ruimte zou moeten zijn voor een aantal slufters. Studie naar de mogelijkheden van realisatie daarvan biedt kansen voor vergroting van de landschappelijke en natuurlijke waarden en ook voor versterking van de relatie tussen natuurtechnici, cultuurtechnici en civieltechnici om samen met de lokale beheerders en de politici de natuur zoveel mogelijk tot haar recht te laten komen, zonder daarbij de veiligheid van ons land in gevaar te brengen
MTT via MIO
No full textThesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Operations Research Center, 2016.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 85-87).Given a set of target detections over several time periods, this paper addresses the multi-target tracking problem (MTT) of optimally assigning detections to targets and estimating the trajectory of the targets over time. MTT has been studied in the literature via predominantly probabilistic methods. In contrast to these approaches, we propose the use of mixed integer optimization (MIO) models and local search algorithms that are (a) scalable, as they provide near optimal solutions for six targets and ten time periods in milliseconds to seconds, (b) general, as they make no assumptions on the data, (c) robust, as they can accommodate missed and false detections of the targets, and (d) easily implementable, as they use at most two tuning parameters. We evaluate the performance of the new methods using a novel metric for complexity of an instance and find that they provide high quality solutions both reliably and quickly for a large range of scenarios, resulting in a promising approach to the area of MTT.by Zachary Clayton Saunders.S.M
Plegarias y fórmulas devotas en el Poema de Mio Cid
No full textThis article tackles the question of authorship in the Poema de mio Cid placing the poet in a monastery at the end of the twelfth century. The prayers that appear throughout the text show that the author was educated and devout, the characteristics of a clergyman. The knowledge of biblical events and the presence of words with their original Latin spellings in Jimena's prayer signal the ecclesiastical origins of the poem, probably in the monastery of Cardeña where the Cid was buried.En este estudio se presenta evidencia que contribuye a situar al autor del Poema de mio Cid en el ambiente eclesiástico de fines del siglo XII. A tal fin, se examinan las oraciones intercaladas en el poema, testimonio de la erudición y devoción características de un clérigo. El conocimiento de episodios bíblicos y la presencia de numerosos cultismos, especialmente en la oración de doña Jimena, apuntan hacia un origen eclesiástico del poema, probablemente compuesto en el monasterio de Cardeña donde estaba enterrado el Cid
«Cantar de Mio Cid», vv. 1-99. Prove di una nuova edizione
No full textIn vista di una nuova edizione del Cantar de Mio Cid, l’autore propone uno specimen dei primi 99 versi dell’opera, pubblicati in una doppia edizione sinottica: un testo interpretativo e una ricostruzione critica. Il primo è fedele al manoscritto unico, limitandosi a correggere le sviste del copista; la seconda si basa sulla teoria metrica già illustrata dall’autore in altri saggi, ma fa appello anche alla tradizione indiretta, all’usus scribendi, alla conformatio textus e alla logica interna del racconto. Il testo è corredato da note filologiche.

Maternal Parenting Style in Relation to Parenting Stress and Behavioral Outcomes in Japanese Children With and Without Autism
No full textThis exploratory study sought to compare the parenting variables of parenting stress, perceived social support, and parenting styles among Japanese mothers of children with autism and without autism, and examine associations between children\u27s internalizing and externalizing behaviors and these variables. Results of independent t-tests revealed greater levels of parenting stress among mothers of children with autism and lower levels of social support. Parenting styles did not significantly differ between the groups. Regression analyses revealed that parenting stress uniquely predicted externalizing behaviors in children with autism. Additionally, an authoritarian parenting style was predictive of externalizing behaviors in children without autism. No meaningful associations were found between the parenting variables and the manifestation of internalizing behaviors. This study suggests that further examination of parenting stress and mental health among Japanese mothers of children with autism and a more comprehensive understanding of parenting behavior in Japan are warranted. Such information is important in service delivery and the future development of interventions that focus on both addressing parental needs and improving child outcomes
