La Questione meridionale è antropologica [rec. a N. Misasi, "Racconti calabresi”, a cura di G. Rando]
2007
I racconti di Nicola Misasi, ripubblicati dal critico Giuseppe Rando, testimoniano la volontà dello scrittore di allontanarsi dai sentieri del Verismo, con la sua pretesa d’impersonalità, per percorrere altre strade, nel rispetto dell’anima più autentica della sua terra, la Calabria mitica e ancestrale di fine Ottocento.
From propaganda to a blockbuster : the role of nationality in the reinterpretation of Captain America for modern, international audiences
2017
Captain America comics were originally created in the 1940s as war propaganda. In the 2010s the story was remade as a successful movie franchise. Nowadays Hollywood is quite dependent on overseas sales, which is something they need to consider when producing their high-budget films. This thesis concentrates on how the story and the character of Captain America were reshaped to better appeal to modern and international audiences. This is done by comparing the ways America/Americans and other countries/ nationalities are addressed both in the comics and the films. The study shows that the movies include more references to other countries and nationalities, and there are considerable positive …
Neatkarības kari „Spāņu Dienvidamerikā no 1809. līdz 1824. gadam: vērtējums historiogrāfijā”
2015
Bakalaura darbā „Neatkarības kari Spāņu Dienvidamerikā no 1809. līdz 1824. gadam: vērtējums historiogrāfijā” autors ir atspoguļojis neatkarības karu norisi Spānijas Dienvidamerikā. Darbs balstīts virkni vēsturnieku darbu, aprakstot un salīdzinot militāros un politiskos konfliktus starp jaundibinātajām valstīm un Spāniju šajā reģionā laikā no 1809. līdz 1824. gadam, kā arī atklājot problemātiskus jautājumus tā laika notikumu interpretācijā. Darbā raksturots neatkarības karu process un ar to saistītie politiskie notikumi, kas noteica neatkarības atbalstītāju uzvaru pār Spāniju.
Technical and economical comparison between NdFeB and hard ferrites linear electrical generators from sea waves
2015
In this paper the authors perform a technical-economic comparison of two different Tubular Permanent Magnet Linear Machines for sea waves generation by using finite elements analysis. The first configuration includes ferrite rings while the second configuration includes neodymium-iron-boron rings. In order to compare the two types in economic and technical terms, a detailed analysis of the main figures of merit of the two configurations has been carried out. In particular, significant data such as flux distribution, rated voltage and current, axial force, electric power, realization cost and maintenance cost have been compared.
Chile pod rządami Augusto Pinocheta. Latynoamerykańskie doświadczenia z neoliberalnym modelem rozwoju
2017
W artykule zaprezentowano, z wykorzystaniem perspektywy historycznej, próby wdrażania neoliberalnego modelu rozwoju w Chile. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na rolę zamachu stanu w 1973 roku, który umożliwił realizację neoliberalnej polityki gospodarczej i społecznej. Neoliberalny model, związany z prywatyzacyjnymi przekształceniami oraz znacznym zmniejszeniem roli państwa, nie przyniósł zadowalających efektów dla chilijskiego społeczeństwa.
New orbital ephemerides for the dipping source 4U 1323-619: Constraining the distance to the source
2016
4U 1323-619 is a low mass X-ray binary system that shows type I X-ray bursts and dips. The most accurate estimation of the orbital period is 2.941923(36) hrs and a distance from the source that is lower than 11 kpc has been proposed. We aim to obtain the orbital ephemeris, the orbital period of the system, as well as its derivative to compare the observed luminosity with that predicted by the theory of secular evolution. We took the advantage of about 26 years of X-ray data and grouped the selected observations when close in time. We folded the light curves and used the timing technique, obtaining 12 dip arrival times. We fit the delays of the dip arrival times both with a linear and a quad…
Notes on Shore Flies (Diptera: Ephydridae) from Finland and north-western Russia
2015
The recent checklist of the Ephydridae of Finland by Zatwarnicki and Kahanpää (2014) mentioned 13 ephydrid species as new for Finland without further details. This paper presents detailed records for those species and a few other species of interest. Four species are recorded for the first time from Russia. Trimerina indistincta Krivosheina, 2004 is herein considered as a new junior synonym of Trimerina microchaeta Hendel, 1932, syn. nov.
Binding abilities of polyaminocyclodextrins: polarimetric investigations and biological assays.
2017
Three polyaminocyclodextrin materials, obtained by direct reaction between heptakis(6-deoxy-6-iodo)-β-cyclodextrin and the proper linear polyamines, were investigated for their binding properties, in order to assess their potential applications in biological systems, such as vectors for simultaneous drug and gene cellular uptake or alternatively for the protection of macromolecules. In particular, we exploited polarimetry to test their interaction with some model p-nitroaniline derivatives, chosen as probe guests. The data obtained indicate that binding inside the host cavity is mainly affected by interplay between Coulomb interactions and conformational restraints. Moreover, simultaneous i…
Inference of proto-neutron star properties from gravitational-wave data in core-collapse supernovae
2021
The eventual detection of gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) will help improve our current understanding of the explosion mechanism of massive stars. The stochastic nature of the late post-bounce gravitational wave signal due to the non-linear dynamics of the matter involved and the large number of degrees of freedom of the phenomenon make the source parameter inference problem very challenging. In this paper we take a step towards that goal and present a parameter estimation approach which is based on the gravitational waves associated with oscillations of proto-neutron stars (PNS). Numerical simulations of CCSN have shown that buoyancy-driven g-modes are responsible …
Endeavors to Make Global Connections : Latin American Contacts and Strategies with Mediterranean Non-Alignment in the Early Cold War
2015
This article explores linkages between Yugoslavia’s influence and the roots of the Non-Aligned Movement in the Mediterranean with Latin America as a region through which the Soviet Union sought to challenge the independence of Yugoslavia and the Movement. It answers directly the question: To what extent did the foundation of the coalition of non-aligned states in 1961 in Belgrade have an impact on relations between Yugoslavia and some Latin American states? The sources used for this article consist principally of primary sources from the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Federation and the Archive of the Foreign Ministry of Yugoslavia. peerReviewed
