DIO SALVI IL RESTAURO. L’apporto inglese alla cultura della conservazione dei monumenti
2020
Sebbene già riuscissimo a percepire quanto rilevante fosse l’apporto inglese per aver contribuito alla definizione del restauro modernamente inteso, sino ad oggi mancavano ancora sia una chiara visione d’insieme delle articolate vicende connesse all'affermazione dei princìpi conservativi, sia una più approfondita conoscenza delle fonti documentarie, necessarie al fine di tracciare i profili culturali dei protagonisti e scandagliarne i contributi teorici. La ricostruzione delle vicende è sviluppata entro margini temporali estesi all'incirca per tre secoli, dalla fine del Seicento al principio del Nove-cento, e strutturata attraverso la traduzione e lo studio di testi perlopiù mai circolati i…
ODO VON BAYEUX ZWISCHEN NORMANDIE, ENGLAND UND PALERMO. NEUE ERKENNTNISSE ÜBER SEINE BEISETZUNG
2022
Nel 1096 Eudes (o Odo) di Conteville, fratellastro di Guglielmo "il Conquistatore", vescovo di Bayeux (che probabilmente commissionò il famoso arazzo che celebra la conquista normanna dell'Inghilterra nel 1066) e già conte di Kent, all'età di quasi sessantaquattro anni, forse spinto da segreti rimorsi, partì per la prima crociata predicata da papa Urbano II per liberare la tomba di Cristo in Terra Santa. Con lui c'era suo nipote Roberto II "Courteheuse" duca di Normandia a capo della spedizione e, tra gli altri nobili normanni, Gilbert Fitz-Osbern vescovo di Evreux. Ospite a Palermo del Gran Conte Roger Hauteville, si ammala gravemente e muore il 5 gennaio (o febbraio) 1097. La sua tomba, c…

Normanowie w dziełach Geralda z Walii a świat bizantyński
2018
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the selscted works of one of the twelfth century Normans historian living in the British Isles, Gerald de Barri of Wales (1146-1223) in terms of knowledge of the Byzantine world and its correlation with the Normans (from England and Southern Italy). The term Byzantine world has been evolving for several decades. Today it refers no longer just to the land of the former East European Empire, which later transformed itself into the Greek Byzantium, but it can be referred to the Balans or the Kingdom of Normandy, while scientists are constantly expanding its borders with the help of other sciences such as archeology. We will do this based on his work…
University completion among children of immigrants in seven western countries
2013
International audience; We use probit analysis of national datasets in the United States, Canada, England and Wales, Netherlands, Belgium, and France to examine gross university completion by children of immigrants relative to native majorities and completion net of social origins. This allows us to examine the extent to which children of immigrants and natives face penalties or benefits associated with their ethnic origin in their host countries. Some second-generation groups are more likely to complete tertiary education relative to the native majorities including Chinese, Indians, Black Caribbeans and Black Africans in England and Wales, Chinese and South Asians in Canada, and East Asian…
Effects of the Blair/Brown NHS Reforms on Socioeconomic Equity in Health Care
2012
The central objectives of the ‘Blair/Brown’ reforms of the English NHS in the 2000s were to reduce hospital waiting times and improve the quality of care. However, critics raised concerns that the choice and competition elements of reform might undermine socioeconomic equity in health care. By contrast, the architects of reform predicted that accelerated growth in NHS spending combined with increased patient choice of hospital would enhance equity for poorer patients. This paper draws together and discusses the findings of three large-scale national studies designed to shed empirical light on this issue. Study one developed methods for monitoring change in neighbourhood level socioeconomic…

: Advising Pupils about School Options and Careers in England
2005
In England, concern about efficiency and good access to jobs, careers advice has been through successive reforms such as privatizing the public networks of careers advice, then in 2001, creating outside schools a service called Connexions. Based on partnership and playing the role of a personal advisor to young people, it offers to any of them a set of services and advice. However the problem is that not all young people make use of it and many of the partners do not share information. Will school play a role again in advising young people on their careers?
A Poem for All Seasons: Alcuin’s “O vos, est aetas”
2017
There is no complete account of the transmission of Alcuin’s poems, which is apparently quite unpredictable if not random. The circulation of a number of short compositions, which accompany his treatises and his letters, and their circulation together, is so far uncharted. Particularly intriguing is the manuscript tradition of “O vos, est aetas,” a poem in seven distichs, in which young men are encouraged to learn rhetoric and to cultivate virtue. The poem generally occurs in connection with two prose works by Alcuin, the De dialectica (henceforth DD) and the Disputatio de rhetorica et virtutibus (henceforth DR). It may be copied either between the two treatises, before the prologue poem of…
Rzeczpospolita w relacjach berlińskich Philipa Plantamoura: od kwietnia do sierpnia 1702 r
2019
An important element in historical research is analysis of the diplomatic reports from the Old Commonwealth. They show the history of the state as well as its internal and foreign politics from another historical perspective. In 1700 the Great Northern War broke out and changed the political system in Middle and Eastern Europe for decades to come. The evens were of interest for diplomats from foreign courts.

They included information about war and political opperations in the Polish - Lithuanian state. The analysis of the diplomatic reports provides answer to how …
