Introduction. Les pensées monétaires dans l'Europe moderne : contexte et intentions
2014
Ce texte introduit le livre et présente ses objectifs et sa structure. Ce livre traite du déploiement des idées monétaires dans le monde européen de l'époque moderne, depuis les écrits de Nicolas Copernic (1517) jusqu'à la veille de la publication de l'ouvrage économique majeur écrit par Adam Smith (1776) . Il met l'accent sur le contexte historique dans le cadre duquel ces idées monétaires ont vu le jour. Il montre la grande variété des contextes et des idées bien au-delà des espaces, des auteurs et des thèmes généralement étudiés, en intégrant des territoires peu étudiés par les économistes, en mettant au jour des approches et des auteurs oubliés, en tentant, enfin, de restituer la riches…
Job in Literature
1997
This classic counsel of despair is uttered by Job’s wife in the wake of all the evils which befall him (Job 2:9). It is preceded by the question, ‘Dost thou still retain thine integrity?’ Her words may have been motivated by bitterness over what she and Job had endured (the Septuagint and the apocryphal Testament of Job both give her a lengthy speech in which she catalogues their degradation). Possibly she felt that blasphemy would have sudden death as a consequence, and that this would put Job out of his misery. In any case, the import of her words is to question the value of ‘righteousness’ (cf. Tobit 2:11–14).
A Scholar in Action in Interwar America: John H. Williams on Trade Theory and Bretton Woods
2009
In this paper we analyse the scientific contributions of Harvard economist John H. Williams as international trade theorist and monetary reformer together with his activities as a Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In the first 2 Sections we first present a succinct overview of Williams’ main contributions to international trade theory and to the interwar debate on the reform of the international monetary system. Particular attention will be devoted to his early academic writings which contained different critical arguments against the two main tenets of classical international economics: the Ricardian theory of comparative advantages and the gold standard. These critic…
Źródła polskiej myśli socjologicznej w środowisku naukowym Lwowa: pozytywizm Józefa Supińskiego
2015
Polska myśl socjologiczna sięga swoimi korzeniami wielu źródeł. Lwowskie środowisko naukowe jest jednym z nich, którego wpływ byłby z pewnością większy, gdyby okres II wojny światowej i ostateczna utrata tych ziem przez odrodzoną Polskę, nie przerwał jego rozwoju. Środowisko społeczno-kulturalne Lwowa przełomu XIX i XX wieku współtworzyło początki polskiej myśli socjologicznej. Dokonało się to między innymi poprzez wpływ akademików lwowskich na kolejne pokolenia uczniów, które licznie zasiliły później środowiska naukowe warszawskie, krakowskie, poznańskie, a po II wojnie światowej, również wrocławskie i gliwickie. Polska socjologia powstała, podobnie jak w krajach Europy Zachodniej, na grun…
Jurisprudencia valorativa y jurisprudencia creativa
2023
After analyzing pros and cons of the legal syllogism, the chapter contextualizes the opposition between evaluative and creative jurisprudence in the current evolution of law, finding in the respect of the rule of law the key for the correct reading of the judicial decision-making. The latter is a contribution to the building of the legal system in which it is possible a form of participation of the parties
Localization in Structured Environments with UWB Devices without Acceleration Measurements, and Velocity Estimation Using a Kalman–Bucy Filter
2022
In this work, a novel scheme for velocity and position estimation in a UWB range-based localization system is proposed. The suggested estimation strategy allows to overcome two main problems typically encountered in the localization systems. The first one is that it can be suitable for use in environments where the GPS signal is not present or where it might fail. The second one is that no accelerometer measurements are needed for the localization task. Moreover, to deal with the velocity estimation problem, a suitable Kalman–Bucy filter is designed and it is compared, experimentally, with a particle filter by showing the features of the two algorithms in order to be used in a localization …
Variance estimation and asymptotic confidence bands for the mean estimator of sampled functional data with high entropy unequal probability sampling …
2013
For fixed size sampling designs with high entropy it is well known that the variance of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator can be approximated by the H\'ajek formula. The interest of this asymptotic variance approximation is that it only involves the first order inclusion probabilities of the statistical units. We extend this variance formula when the variable under study is functional and we prove, under general conditions on the regularity of the individual trajectories and the sampling design, that we can get a uniformly convergent estimator of the variance function of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator of the mean function. Rates of convergence to the true variance function are given for the re…

Il pensiero linguistico nella Grecia arcaica e classica
2016
Il saggio è un'analisi delle principali idee sul linguaggio nel pensiero greco arcaico e classico (da Omero ad Aristotele) con particolare riferimento alla tematica del rapporto tra verità ed efficacia. The paper is a study of the main ideas on language in ancient Greek thought (from Homer to Aristotle) with a particular focus on the relationship between truth and efficacy.
