Of Walls and Fences: Brexit and the History of Cross-Border Migration
2019
Champions of Brexit have employed a large arsenal of arguments to boost their case for a Britain better off on its own, freed from its current European entanglements. All kinds of supposed ills have been linked to the country’s EU membership in British public debates over the years, ranging from petty bureaucratic absurdities, such as directives regarding crooked bananas, to heavy-handed rulings on higher matters of domestic and foreign policy. Lamentations about continental meddling have been accompanied by grand, nostalgic visions of an unfettered future Great Britain, ready to return to its proper, independent role on the global stage once it manages to cast off the shackles imposed by B…
Mesure de la performance des agences bancaires par une approche DEA
2005
Using a DEA framework (Data Envelopment Analysis), we develop new performance indicators for integrated retail networks. A methodological discussion leads us to propose a productivity indicator which respects the criteria of controllability and transversal coherence. We then formalise the relationship between a performance indicator of a network's headquarters and the productivity of its various retailers. Finally, we combine these new indicators in crafting a management tool amenable to a system of balanced scorecards.
"All Tito wants is a little bit of unity" : kuva Titon Jugoslaviasta The New York Timesissa vuosina 1969- 1971
2012
Irtauduttuaan Neuvostoliiton johtamasta Itä-Euroopan kommunistimaiden liittoumasta 1940- luvun lopulla Titon johtama Jugoslavia kehittyi kylmän sodan aikana omaa tietään kulkevaksi sosialistiseksi valtioksi, joka oli ulkopolitiikassaan sitoutumaton etsien samalla paikkaansa idän ja lännen välissä, jonka talousjärjestelmä perustui ns. työläisten itsehallintojärjestelmään ja jonka sisäpoliittista kehitystä sävyttivät toisaalta erilaiset pyrkimykset reformeihin sekä toisaalta kysymykset siitä, miten Jugoslavian eri osatasavaltojen keskinäinen suhde kehittyisi ja vaikuttaisi näin koko maan tulevaisuuteen. 1960–1970-lukujen vaihteessa maassa elettiin sisäpoliittisesti epävakaata kautta, johon li…
An Atypical Case of Taravana Syndrome in a Breath-Hold Underwater Fishing Champion: A Case Report
2013
Dysbaric accidents are usually referred to compressed air-supplied diving. Nonetheless, some cases of decompression illness are known to have occurred among breath-hold (BH) divers also, and they are reported in the medical literature. A male BH diver (57 years old), underwater fishing champion, presented neurological disorders as dizziness, sensory numbness, blurred vision, and left frontoparietal pain after many dives to a 30–35 meters sea water depth with short surface intervals. Symptoms spontaneously regressed and the patient came back home. The following morning, pain and neurological impairment occurred again and the diver went by himself to the hospital where he had a generalized to…
Tattoo branding
2018
Questo contributo indaga una pratica specifica di quelle che riguardano la body modification: il branding, ovvero la marchiatura a fuoco del corpo. Si confronta questo fenomeno con quello del tatuaggio tradizionalmente inteso, dal punto di vista espressivo (modelli di corpo, forme della marchiatura) e dei significati sociali connessi (valorizzazioni sociali e storiche della marchiatura a fuoco), con un confronto anche con altre pratiche di marchiatura a fuoco (su cose e animali).
Branching Ratios and Spectral Functions of $\tau$ Decays: final ALEPH measurements and physics implications
2005
The full LEP-1 data set collected with the ALEPH detector at the $Z$ pole during 1991-1995 is analysed in order to measure the $\tau$ decay branching fractions. Extensive systematic studies are performed, in order to match the large statistics of the data sample corresponding to over 300 000 measured and identified $\tau$ decays. Branching fractions are obtained for the two leptonic channels and eleven hadronic channels defined by their respective numbers of charged particles and $\pi^0$'s. Using previously published ALEPH results on final states with charged and neutral kaons, corrections are applied to the hadronic channels to derive branching ratios for exclusive final states without kao…
La solitudine dell'intellettuale in Una donna di casa di Vitaliano Brancati
2001
Carattere precipuo della produzione drammaturgica di Brancati - a torto considerata marginale rispetto a quella narrativa e saggistica dell'autore - è l'impegno etico-civile, perseguito con costanza sin dagli esordi. Significativa, inoltre, è l'importanza acquisita dalla figura femminile; risulta esemplare, in tal senso, la commedia "Una donna di casa", qui esaminata sia in relazione alle scelte formali dell'autore che ai successivi adattamenti scenici.L'articolo è arricchito inoltre da un'intervista inedita al regista e agli interpreti di una recente messinscena brancatiana: Alvaro Piccardi, Paola Gassman, Ugo Pagliai.
Homogénéité culturelle et mixité sociale dans le fossé rhénan à la fin de l'âge du Bronze. Une étude des comportements techniques sur les habitats de…
2013
International audience; Une analyse technologique des céramiques est ici réalisée dans une perspective anthropologique à partir du matériel issu de deux silos d’habitats alsaciens du Bronze final IIIa : le silo 22 de Colmar « Terrasses du Diaconat » et le silo 25 de « Meistratzheim « Station d’épuration intercommunale ». Les macrotraces laissées sur les récipients par les opérations de fabrication informent sur les réseaux de producteurs dans le contexte d’expansion du style Rhin-Suisse-France Orientale.

Mehr als Musik: Die sieben Dimensionen des Eurovision Song Contests
2008
"Der Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) ist der weltweit größte internationale Wettbewerb für populäre Musik und das erfolgreichste Fernsehunterhaltungsprogramm in Europa. Obwohl der ESC ursprünglich das Ziel verfolgte, die Entstehung neuer Lieder zu fördern, handelte es sich doch stets um ein von den Fernsehanstalten inszeniertes Medienereignis, das erst nachrangig musikökonomischen Zwecken dient. Für das Publikum ist der ESC auf Grund seiner Periodizität, seiner spezifischen Programmstruktur und nicht zuletzt des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls der Zuschauer, das auf Schemata nationaler und kultureller Identifikation beruht, zu einem hochgradig ritualisierten Medienereignis geworden. Seine Bedeutung geh…
