la noblesse dans la monarchie espagnole des Habsbourg aux Bourbons. Langages et pratiques de fidélités anciennes et nouvelles
2018
Lo scopo del saggio è di offrire una riflessione sulla nobiltà spagnola, siciliana e napoletana nel complesso quadro della crisi dinastica verificatasi nella monarchia spagnola alla morte di Carlo II. A partire dall'analisi delle dinamiche che hanno iniziato a modificare il ruolo delle Grandes alla corte di Madrid durante la reggenza di Mariana de Austria, l'attenzione si concentra principalmente sui decenni tra la fine del XVII e l'inizio del XVIII secolo. La ricerca evidenzia strategie personali e legali, nuove pratiche e linguaggi di negoziazione tra nobiltà e sovrano, al fine di comprendere le motivazioni che hanno costituito la base per l'adesione della nobiltà mediterranea al partito …
Carthage's military installations of the First Punic War on Monte Pellegrino (Palermo)
2019
The excavation in the park of Villa Belmonte (Monte Pellegrino, Palermo) has brought to light several warehouses, made with a “pseudo-frame” technique, probably with a straw roof, used for the storage of foodstuffs, given the large quantity of Punic-type amphorae found in situ, datable to around the middle of the third century BC. In addition, a section of road - about 3 m wide that proceeds in the direction of WNW- ESE, consisting of two layers of use - has been intercepted. We believe to have tracked down part of a strategic/military station used by the Carthaginian army during the crucial years of the First Punic War.
Jünger Machines and aviators. The experience of war in young Jünger's photobooks
2013
El modo en que el jünger de los años 30 recuerda y describe la guerra en sus foto-libros concibe la misma principalmente desde la contemplación estética como un espectáculo de la naturaleza, en detrimento de su cruel dimensión moral y personal. Ello, que The way in which the jünger of the 30 s remembers and describes the war in his photobooks conceives it principally since an aesthetic comprehension as a natural spectacle to the detriment of its cruel moral and personal dimension. This, which to a large e
Does fragmentation of wetlands affect gene flow in sympatric Acrocephalus warblers with different migration strategies?
2015
Wetlands are naturally patchy habitats, but patchiness has been accentuated by the extensive wetlands loss due to human activities. In such a fragmented habitat, dispersal ability is especially important to maintain gene flow between populations. Here we studied population structure, genetic diversity and demographic history of Iberian and North African populations of two wetland passerines, the Eurasian reed warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus and the moustached warbler Acrocephalus melanopogon. These species are closely related and sympatric in our study sites, but the reed warbler is a long-distance migrant and widespread bird while the moustached warbler is resident or migrates over short d…
Five Kurosawas and a (de)construction of theOrient
2019
In 1959, UNESCO published a catalogue of Eastern films suitable for Western audiences, titled ‘Orient. A Survey of Films Produced in Countries of Arab and Asian Culture’. The aim of the catalogue was to familiarise Western audiences with Eastern cultures through cinema. The catalogue lists seven general characteristics of Eastern cinema to distinguish it from its Western counterpart and to provide ready-made interpretations of the essential characteristics of the Eastern world. Of the 139 feature films listed in the catalogue, five were directed by Kurosawa Akira – the biggest number of films by a single director. This article provides an analysis of the five Kurosawa films within the frame…
Near Real-Time Data Warehousing with Multi-stage Trickle and Flip
2011
A data warehouse typically is a collection of historical data designed for decision support, so it is updated from the sources periodically, mostly on a daily basis. Today’s business however asks for fresher data. Real-time warehousing is one of the trends to accomplish this, but there are a number of challenges to move towards true real-time. This paper proposes ‘Multi-stage Trickle & flip’ methodology for data warehouse refreshment. It is based on the ‘Trickle & flip’ principle and extended in order to further insulate loading and querying activities, thus enabling both of them to be more efficient.
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF SEVERAL MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS TOOLS FOR MANAGEMENT OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS
2007
Over the past several decades, environmental decision-making strategies have evolved into increasingly more sophisticated, information-intensive, and complexapproaches including expert judgment, cost-benefit analysis, toxicological risk assessment, comparative risk assessment, and a number of methods forincorporating public and stakeholder values. This evolution has led to an improved array of decision-making aids, including the development of Multi-CriteriaDecision Analysis (MCDA) tools that offer a scientifically sound decision analytical framework. The existence of different MCDA methods and the availability of corresponding software contribute to the possibility of practical implementat…
Une nouvelle approche mixte d'enrichissement de dimensions dans un schéma multidimensionnel en constellation Application à la biodiversité des oiseaux
2015
International audience; Les entrepôts de données (DW) et les systèmes OLAP sont des technologies d'analyse en ligne pour de grands volumes de données, basés sur les be-soins des utilisateurs. Leur succès dépend essentiellement de la phase de conception où les exigences fonctionnelles sont confrontées aux sources de données (méthodologie de conception mixte). Cependant, les méthodes de conception existantes semblent parfois inefficaces, lorsque les décideurs définissent des exi-gences fonctionnelles qui ne peuvent être déduites à partir des sources de don-nées (approche centrée sur les données), ou lorsque le décideur n'a pas intégré tous ces besoins durant la phase de conception (approche c…
Dimension enrichment with factual data during the design of multidimensional models: application to bird biodiversity
2015
20 pages; International audience; Data warehouses (DW) and OLAP systems are technologies allowing the on-line analysis of huge volume of data according to decision-makers’ needs. Designing DW involves taking into account functional requirements and data sources (mixed design methodology) [1]. But, for complex applications, existing automatic design methodologies seem inefficient. In some cases, decision-makers need querying, as a dimension, data which have been defined as facts by actual automatic mixed approachs. Therefore, in this paper, we offer a new mixed refinement methodology relevant to constellation multidimensional schema. The proposed methodolgy allows to decision-makers to enric…
The Influence of Intangible Assets in the Company Performance: The Case of the World’s Most Profitable Corporations
2020
Intangible assets are no longer a competitive advantage, but a must if a company wants to create value for the long-term and maintain performance at a high level compared with its peers. Due to the various factors that contribute to the performance of a company, there are a plethora of methods to measure the impact of each one. This paper’s objective is to measure the performance of the company, with a focus on the contribution of the intangible assets. To fulfil this objective, financial ratios will be used, and a method (‘Calculated Intangible Value’) to quantify the impact of intangible assets. By applying a multiple discriminant analysis, two functions will result, a general one, and an…
