I Cannot Place You: Dementia and the Pandemic Experience in The Visiting Hour by Frank McGuinness
2021
This paper presents a new play by Frank McGuinness, a play which was streamed to audiences in April 2021 and published a few weeks later. Set in contemporary Ireland, it focuses on two themes which seem to preoccupy its author: dementia, to which he devoted another play, Hanging Gardens and the consequences of living in a time of Pandemic. In particular, I argue, McGuinness indirectly seems to address an important question: how can literature and theatre offer an opportunity for reflecting about what is happening around us? Can literature help us to better understand and face the world? The play foregrounds the restorative power of emotional authenticity as we see a father and his daughter …
EL MARCO COMÚN EUROPEO DE REFERENCIA PARA LAS LENGUAS: LA ENSEÑANZA DEL ESPAÑOL L/E Y LA COMPETENCIA INTERCULTURAL
2007
In this article I analyse the concept of intercultural education in relation to teaching Spanish as foreign language and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. I propose a didactic activity for Italian university students.
A Decomposition Theorem for the Fuzzy Henstock Integral
2012
We study the fuzzy Henstock and the fuzzy McShane integrals for fuzzy-number valued functions. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the following decomposition theorem: a fuzzy-number valued function is fuzzy Henstock integrable if and only if it can be represented as a sum of a fuzzy McShane integrable fuzzy-number valued function and of a fuzzy Henstock integrable fuzzy number valued function generated by a Henstock integrable function.
On the integration of Riemann-measurable vector-valued functions
2016
We confine our attention to convergence theorems and descriptive relationships within some subclasses of Riemann-measurable vector-valued functions that are based on the various generalizations of the Riemann definition of an integral.
M.Arnolda dzejolis "Duvra Pludmale" kā I.Makjuana romāna "Sestdiena" interteksts
2020
Vairāki literatūru zinātntieki ir pētijuši intekstualitātes tēmu. Šis bakalaura darbs mērķis ir izpētīt, kā Metjū Arnolda dzejolis “Duvras Pludmale” strādā kā interteksts Iana Makjuana romānam “Sestdiena”. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi tika apkopoti teorētiskie matreāli par intertekstualitāti un pēc tam veikta teksta analīze kā arī interpretācija, lai parādītu intertekstualitāti starp Metjū Arnolda dzejolim “Duvras Pludmale” un Iana Makjuana romāna “Sestdiena”. Un pēc teksta analīzes tika veikti secinājumi. Šī bakalaura darba galvenie secinājumi ļāva parādīt, kā Metjū Arnolda dzejolis “Duvras Pludmale” ir ietekmējis Iana Makjuana romānu “Sestdiena” un izmantojot intertekstualitāti var izmantot, la…
Comparison of different uncertainty techniques in urban stormwater quantity and quality modelling
2011
Abstract Urban drainage models are important tools used by both practitioners and scientists in the field of stormwater management. These models are often conceptual and usually require calibration using local datasets. The quantification of the uncertainty associated with the models is a must, although it is rarely practiced. The International Working Group on Data and Models, which works under the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage, has been working on the development of a framework for defining and assessing uncertainties in the field of urban drainage modelling. A part of that work is the assessment and comparison of different techniques generally used in the uncertainty assessm…
A Methodology for the Design of MOS Current-Mode Logic Circuits
2010
In this paper, a design methodology for the minimization of various performance metrics of MOS Current-Mode Logic (MCML) circuits is described. In particular, it allows to minimize the delay under a given power consumption, the power consumption under a given delay and the power-delay product. Design solutions can be evaluated graphically or by simple and effective automatic procedures implemented within the MATLAB environment. The methodology exploits the novel concepts of crossing-point current and crossing-point capacitance. A useful feature of it is that it provides the designer with useful insights into the dependence of the performance metrics on design variables and fan-out capacitan…
The Binomial “Inflammation-Epigenetics” in Breast Cancer Progression and Bone Metastasis: IL-1β Actions Are Influenced by TET Inhibitor in MCF-7 Cell…
2022
The existence of a tight relationship between inflammation and epigenetics that in primary breast tumor cells can lead to tumor progression and the formation of bone metastases was investigated. It was highlighted how the induction of tumor progression and bone metastasis by Interleukin-1 beta, in a non-metastatic breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, was dependent on the de-methylating actions of ten-eleven translocation proteins (TETs). In fact, the inhibition of their activity by the Bobcat339 molecule, an inhibitor of TET enzymes, determined on the one hand, the modulation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process, and on the other hand, the reduction in the expression of markers of bo…
Bayesian inference for the extremal dependence
2016
A simple approach for modeling multivariate extremes is to consider the vector of component-wise maxima and their max-stable distributions. The extremal dependence can be inferred by estimating the angular measure or, alternatively, the Pickands dependence function. We propose a nonparametric Bayesian model that allows, in the bivariate case, the simultaneous estimation of both functional representations through the use of polynomials in the Bernstein form. The constraints required to provide a valid extremal dependence are addressed in a straightforward manner, by placing a prior on the coefficients of the Bernstein polynomials which gives probability one to the set of valid functions. The…
Coat colours in the Massese sheep breed are associated with mutations in the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genes
2012
Massese is an Italian dairy sheep breed characterized by animals with black skin and horns and black or apparent grey hairs. Owing to the presence of these two coat colour types, this breed can be considered an interesting model to evaluate the effects of coat colour gene polymorphisms on this phenotypic trait. Two main loci have been already shown to affect coat colour in sheep: Agouti and Extension coding for the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genes, respectively. The Agouti locus is affected by a large duplication including the ASIP gene that may determine the Agouti white and tan allele (A(Wt)). Other disrupting or partially inactivating mutations ha…
