Quot philosophi, tot sanniones: las descripciones de filósofos en la sátira latina
2019
El artículo trata la descripción de los filósofos y pseudofilósofos en la sátira latina. A una breve introducción donde se recalca cómo el ataque personal era un elemento clave en este género, sigue un examen de las descripciones insertas en lo que convencionalmente se conoce como sátira regular, pese a que Varrón también aparece incluido con la intención de completar el panorama. El análisis diacrónico de las descripciones invita a pensar que se trata de un tópico especialmente activo en la poesía satírica y que tiende a incrementarse con el paso del tiempo, proporcionando siempre una imagen negativa de los falsos sabios. Si juzgar la finalidad de este recurso de forma global es complicado…
RIGENERAZIONE DI CITTADINE RURALI MEDIANTE IL TURISMO SOSTENIBILE: UN MODELLO DI VALUTAZIONE
2017
Rehabilitation of ancient towns poses special questions because of the existing complex physical and social ties that can be properly integrated in decisions on sustainable urban planning by multi-criteria evaluations. This work proposes a description model aiding actions and decisions for the rehabilitation of historic centres through tourism development in Sicilian hinterland areas. The decision problem concerns the town of Cianciana, which in recent years has been appreciated by strangers who stay on this town to live with the local inhabitants. Despite this international attention, at present, the town is undergoing local’s depopulation, gentrification and economic crisis. The proposed …
LanguageLab - A Meta-modelling Environment
2015
In the LanguageLab language workbench, we build on a component-based approach to language specification that facilitates the specification of all aspects of a computer language in a consistent manner, taking into account best practices in meta-modelling and language design. The workbench allows operation on a suitable abstraction level, and also focuses on user-friendliness and a low threshold to getting started, in order to make it useful for teaching of meta-modelling and language design and specification. The platform is open for third party language modules and facilitates rapid prototyping of DSLs, re-use of language modules, and experiments with multiple concrete syntaxes. The platfor…
Īpašības vārdu lietojums produktu aprakstos pārtikas uzņēmumu interneta mājas lapās
2019
Šajā bakalaura darbā ir aplūkoti aprakstoši, novērtējoši īpašības vārdi, kā arī to salīdzinājuma pakāpes, kuras izmantotas produktu aprakstos pārtikas rūpniecības uzņēmumu tīmekļa vietnēs. Pētījuma mērķa sasniegšanai un lai atbildētu uz pētījuma jautājumiem, pētniecības metodes ietvēra literatūras apskatu un diskursa analīzi. Bakalaura darba mērķis bija izpētīt īpašības vārdu lietošanas biežumu un nolūku mērķi astoņdesmit produktu aprakstos. Galvenie secinājumi ir, ka novērtēšanas īpašības vārdu biežums ir lielāks, salīdzinot ar visiem analizētajiem īpašības vārdiem. Lielākā daļa uzņēmumu balstās uz novērtēšanas īpašības vārda izmantošanu, lai uzsvērtu labākās produktu aprakstu daļas lai pi…
Technology Enabled Information Services Use in Tourism : An Ethnographic Study of Chinese Backpackers
2018
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the previously unexplored theoretical relationship between technology enabled information services (TEIS) and the value created by the use of such services. This paper presents a mixed virtual and multi-sited ethnography to provide a thick description of Chinese backpackers (CBs) use of TEIS. Participant observations and interviews of CBs in three different journeys within Europe were undertaken. Our findings illustrate that additional usage values occur when TEIS are used in a tourism context. Social influences and technical infrastructure play a stronger role than previous research presented. The study contributes to the literature by 1) providi…
THE RELEVANCE OF MORAL DISAGREEMENT. SOME WORRIES ABOUT NONDESCRIPTIVIST COGNITIVISM
2002
Nondescriptivist Cognitivism vindicates the cognitive value of moral judgements despite their lack of descriptive content. In this paper, I raise a few worries about the proclaimed virtues of this new metaethical framework Firstly, I argue that Nondescriptivist Cognitivism tends to beg the question against descriptivism and, secondly, discuss Horgan and Timmons' case against Michael Smith's metaethical rationalism. Although I sympathise with their main critical claims against the latter, I am less enthusiastic about the arguments that they provide to support them.
Topological linguistics and the study of linguistic variation
1994
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on topological linguistics and the study of linguistic variation. It discusses the problem of linguistic variation. A topological model has been developed for internal linguistics, starting from the epistemological problem that all linguists must deal with. A topological space could be conceived of as a set of elements where some elements limit the others and are said to be open-sets, and the former and the latter together constitute the closed-sets. Linguistics, when approaching its object of study, is faced with a very similar situation: a language is a set of elements—from utterances to minimal phonic items—where each is described by other surroundi…
AER Filtering Using GLIDER: VHDL Cellular Automata Description
2008
Cellular Automata (CA) is a bio-inspired processing model for problem solving, initially proposed by Von Neumann. This approach modularizes the processing by dividing the solution into synchronous cells that change their states at the same time in order to get the solution. The communication between them is crucial to achieve the correct solution. On the other hand, the Address-Event-Representation (AER) is a neuromorphic communication protocol for transferring asynchronous events between VLSI chips. These neuro-inspired implementations have been used to design sensor chips (retina, cochleas), processing chips (convolutions, filters) and learning chips, which makes it possible to develop co…
La ‘svolta ontologica’ e le questioni epistemologiche in antropologia
2020
In the first part of this article I propose to approach the ‘ontological turn’ in anthropology by focusing on how Martin Holbraad and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro link epistemological, ontological and political issues. Focusing on their new epistemological views to others’ forms of thought and their intrinsic conceptual and ontological presuppositions, inexplicable through the recourse to external determinants, these scholars aim at a radical epistemological and political questioning of the bipartitions of Western modern ontology (such as nature vs culture) in line with Bruno Latour’s ideas on ‘modern constitution’ and its distinction between ‘matters of fact’ and ‘matters of concern’. The ar…
Nad kartami prac profesora Witolda Mańczaka. Notatki z marginesów
2017
In the works written in the last period of his life, Professor Witold Mańczak often emphasized the need to formulate a criterion of truth in linguistics. He pursued it in textual reality (in “what is written and what is said”) and in statistical, frequentative and quantitative data which describe it. On the margin of this search, this author shares his own experiences in the field of ethnolinguistics, related to attempts to determine the actual (and, in this sense, true) ontological status of analyzed objects. He postulates that the diversification of the objects of analysis should be complemented by an adequate diversification of how their names are recorded in the narration, i.e. by a pre…
