Die Ehrenmonate in der Zeit Caligulas. Zur Familienpropaganda des letzten julischen Kaisers
1997
Als im Jahre 44 v. Chr. beschlossen wurde, den Monat Quintilis in Iulius umzubenennen, war dies das erste historische Beispiel fur Roms Ubernahme der hellenistischen Praxis, Monate nach lebenden Herrschern zu benennen. Diese ausergewohnliche Ehrung wurde nach Julius Caesar auch noch anderen Caesaren zuteil, doch konnten sich nur die Ehrenmonate fur den Diktator und Kaiser Augustus dauerhaft durchsetzen. Bis heute stehen sie als Juli und August in unserem Kalender. Von einem der zahlreichen weiteren Versuche, einen neuen Ehrenmonat im romischen Kalender zu etablieren, berichtet Sueton in seiner Caligula-Vita.

Le “brigand lusitanien” reconsidéré. Analyse du problème de la terre chez Appien
2015
The study of the “Lusitanian robbery” led to an important research since the late nineteenth century.Nevertheless, and despite a gradual shift in modern historiography towards a more nuanced approachto the origin of the phenomenon, the problem of land still remains a central concern of many historiansand archaeologists. From a close discussion of the main passages of Livy, Diodorus and Appian especiallyrelating to the relationship that some have sought to establish between lack and / or poverty ofthe land and development of robbery among the Lusitanians, it gives a review of the socio-economicinterpretation.
Deep learning to detect built cultural heritage from satellite imagery. - Spatial distribution and size of vernacular houses in Sumba, Indonesia -
2021
Abstract In Sumba Island – Indonesia, the implantation of vernacular houses, inside and outside traditional villages, is considered to be an efficient proxy for the on-going complex cultural transformations resulting from globalization. This study presents an easily reproducible workflow allowing buildings to be automatically detected from satellite imagery, demonstrating how modern computer vision methods based on deep learning can help in this task, which would be far too time-consuming when undertaken by hand. Eight deep learning architectures based on convolutional neural networks were compared in terms of ability to identify and locate precisely traditional houses from satellite images…
Territorialization in Political Discourse: A Pragma-Linguistic Study of Jerzy Buzek’s Inaugural Speeches
2011
The purpose of this study is to review some discursive strategies used to (de)territorialize the European public sphere by the newly elected President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek. A corpus of his inaugural speeches (over 7,000 words) is examined in order to identify salient pragma-linguistic devices, such as for example high-frequency references, linguistic markers of identities, values and interests, as well as metaphors and argumentative schemata. These are presumed to have been used by Buzek to territorialize the presidential office: to position himself as its leader, to establish his credibility, to become its agenda-setter. Additionally, the analysis focuses on the way Buzek…
Argumentation Skills as Prerequisites for Collaborative Learning Among Finnish, French and English Secondary School Students.
2005
International audience; Argumentation skills of secondary school students were evaluated in Finland (n = 290), France (n = 54), and England (n = 41). The data were collected from 4 tasks comprising 7 variables. The results indicated that most of the students had correctly justified arguments and conclusions, and composed clear claims and relevant arguments. However, many students had difficulties in recognising the main claim and arguments for it in an expository text, and in commenting analytically on an argumentative text. Thus the students possessed the prerequisites for argumentative reasoning and writing but need further practice in analytical and critical reading.
Microgeographic Variation of Genetic Polymorphism in Argyresthia mendica (Lep.: Argyresthiidae)
1988
Field studies on the genetic structure of populations show a considerable amount of heterogeneity in space and time. In many cases, these heterogeneities can be related to structures in the environment, such as properties of soil, availability of special food resources, topographic conditions or climate. In other cases the genetic structure can be explained by properties of the plant and animal species under study, e.g. ability and speed of migration and colonization (Karlin and Nevo 1976; Endler 1977; Nevo 1978; Nevo and Yang 1979; Nevo et al. 1981; Seitz and Komma 1984; Wohrmann 1984).
Traduir sota la dictadura franquista, traduir clandestinament: Poesia (1944-1945) i Ariel (1946-1951)
2013
Acabada la guerra civil, la dictadura de Francisco Franco va prohibir les traduccions al català durant una dècada, fins al 1948, en què van aparèixer l’Odissea de Carles Riba i la Divina Comèdia de Josep M. de Sagarra en condicions molt restrictives. Aquestes condicions es van mantenir pràcticament inalterables fins al 1962, quan va deixar de practicar-se la censura lingüística prèvia davant la demanda de publicar qualsevol traducció catalana. En la dècada dels quaranta, quan la persecució era més severa, van sortir a llum dues revistes clandestines en català, Poesia (1944-1945) i Ariel (1946-1951), que van traduir regularment una selecció de l’obra dels noms canònics de la literatura occid…
Dalla biologia alla linguistica. La definizione di arthron del XX capitolo della poetica di Aristotele
2019
This paper deals with Aristotle's definiton of arthron in the XX chapter of the Poetics. This definition has always been considered as an unsolvable dilemma. Starting with a detailed analysis of the Greek text, and of the various attempts to make sense of it, the paper attempts to read it in an innovative way. The xx chapter of the Poetics is not a classification of parts of speech, as it is usually considered; we have to read it in light of Aristotle's biological program. Arthron (as well as syndesmos, syllabé) are biological terms. In linguistics as well as in biology arthron is thus a 'joint': it has nothing to do with the «article» in later grammatical sense. In this light, the book off…
