Samtidskunst i skolen : En studie som inviterer elever til en konseptuell workshopspraksis
2019
Masteroppgave kunstfag KF500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Both from the elementary school education and the professional life, I have gained insight and an experience basis for commenting on the subject of arts and crafts. There are often techniques and crafts that are in focus. I miss howthe subject to a greater extentcanchallengestudent`s in critical thinking, playful exploration and reflection, especially with regards to visual art. This master thesis focuses on theseperspectives for teaching in the subject arts and crafts, and discuss contemporary art's place intheschool. The thesis can be viewed as a post in the discourse about the new curriculumforarts and crafts, scheduledtobe comple…
“Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie and the Ambiguous Afterlife of the History of the Acadians”
2018
Abstract Longfellow’s Evangeline was hailed as a great and distinctively American work when it appeared in 1847, and the poem’s use of North American history was a key element in its favourable reception. This use of history, however, is ambiguous and complex. The epic continues, first of all, in a long tradition of romanticized retellings of the heart-rending story of the Acadians. But the work also engages in a dual-level dialogue with both the mid-eighteenth-century history of the Acadians, who are pitied, without inciting indignation, and the contemporary history of midnineteenth-century America, whose expansionism it both implicitly celebrates and criticizes. Resume Evangeline, le poem…

Controlling false match rates in record linkage using extreme value theory
2011
AbstractCleansing data from synonyms and homonyms is a relevant task in fields where high quality of data is crucial, for example in disease registries and medical research networks. Record linkage provides methods for minimizing synonym and homonym errors thereby improving data quality. We focus our attention to the case of homonym errors (in the following denoted as ‘false matches’), in which records belonging to different entities are wrongly classified as equal. Synonym errors (‘false non-matches’) occur when a single entity maps to multiple records in the linkage result. They are not considered in this study because in our application domain they are not as crucial as false matches. Fa…
Di nuovo schiave. Donne e distopia (2007-2022)
2022
Il saggio analizza le peculiarità e le costanti della narrativa distopica scritta da donne in Italia lungo un arco di tempo che va dal 2007 al 2022. Riallacciandosi a una tradizione mainstream che in ambito anglosassone ha prodotto libri di successo come The Handmaid’s Tale di Margaret Atwood, le distopie italiane degli ultimi anni mettono in scena un futuro in cui a dominare è una società marcatamente patriarcale che esercita un controllo violento sul corpo e sull’identità femminili. Il cupo futuro raccontato da Laura Pugno, Nicoletta Vallorani, Maria Rosa Cutrufelli, Laura Pariani e altre scrittrici italiane nasce dall’amplificazione di stereotipi sessuali radicati nel presente e vuole es…

International competition in the first wave of globalization: new evidence on the margins of trade
2015
We pose a seemingly ageless question in economic history. To what extent did new entrants in the late nineteenth‐century cotton‐textile industry threaten the customary markets of the European core? Exploiting a newly constructed dataset on textile imports to Spain, we find that as trade costs fell, new rivals began to sell a greater variety of products. Along this dimension, competition can be said to have increased. In response, producers in Europe adjusted the type and number of goods exported. By 1914, specialization mapped onto endowments of skilled labour, capital, and access to raw materials. While firms in new industrializing countries exported low‐end varieties, incumbents in the co…

"La construction du personnage dans les derniers récits de Raffaele La Capria"
2018
C’est à la fin des années soixante-dix, au moment où d’anciens protagonistes des avant-gardes littéraires (comme Sollers en France ou Eco en Italie) renouent avec la fiction, que Raffaele La Capria, l’un des précurseurs dans la péninsule du roman expérimental, renonce définitivement au genre. Amore e Psiche, publié pour la première fois en 1973, fera l’objet de plusieurs remaniements sans que l’auteur en soit jamais satisfait. À partir des années quatre-vingt, La Capria ne publie plus que des...
Multiplicative cases from additive cases: Extension of Kolmogorov–Feller equation to parametric Poisson white noise processes
2007
Abstract In this paper the response of nonlinear systems driven by parametric Poissonian white noise is examined. As is well known, the response sample function or the response statistics of a system driven by external white noise processes is completely defined. Starting from the system driven by external white noise processes, when an invertible nonlinear transformation is applied, the transformed system in the new state variable is driven by a parametric type excitation. So this latter artificial system may be used as a tool to find out the proper solution to solve systems driven by parametric white noises. In fact, solving this new system, being the nonlinear transformation invertible, …
