An operator-like description of love affairs
2010
We adopt the so--called \emph{occupation number representation}, originally used in quantum mechanics and recently considered in the description of stock markets, in the analysis of the dynamics of love relations. We start with a simple model, involving two actors (Alice and Bob): in the linear case we obtain periodic dynamics, whereas in the nonlinear regime either periodic or quasiperiodic solutions are found. Then we extend the model to a love triangle involving Alice, Bob and a third actress, Carla. Interesting features appear, and in particular we find analytical conditions for the linear model of love triangle to have periodic or quasiperiodic solutions. Numerical solutions are exhibi…
L’Affaire Dreyfus di Roman Polanski
2019
Tratto dal romanzo (o meglio non fiction novel) An Officer and a Spy di Robert Harris (che ha collaborato alla sceneggiatura), J’Accuse si impernia su Georges Picquart, il colonnello che nel 1896 individuò la vera spia nel maggiore Walsin Esterhazy e che per sostenere l’innocenza di Dreyfus sfidò a lungo i capi dell’esercito (ostinatamente decisi, per motivi mai chiariti del tutto – l’antisemitismo giocò solo in parte – a non rimettere in discussione la condanna del 1894). Una didascalia introduttiva sottolinea subito la rigorosa autenticità dei fatti esposti; e vari articoli ne hanno elogiato il valore di testimonianza. About “J’Accuse” by Roman Polanski
Parliamentary Time as a Medium of Politics
2018
The chapter deals with parliamentary time that underlies all the other aspects as a temporal ‘subtext’ of parliamentary politics. The temporal aspect is built into the parliamentary procedures, debates, regimes and actors. It is not only a play in time but also a play with time. The parliamentary debate requires sufficient time but at the same time recognising that parliamentary time is always scarce, and a fair distribution of it between both items and members is necessary. Parliamentary politics shows therefore an extraordinary sensitivity for time. Parliamentary time is based on multiple rounds of debate as well as on a time order of parliamentary moves of different types. When used in p…
Polityczne i kryminalne tło zbrodni w Potępie (1932 r.)
2017
Opis zbrodni na Konradzie Piecuchu, polskim robotniku z Potępy na Górnym Śląsku,pojawia się we wszystkich opracowaniach poświęconych początkom Trzeciej Rzeszy. Autorzy literatury przedmiotu wskazują na mord, popełniony w nocy z 9 na 10 sierpnia 1932 r., jako przykład bezwzględnych metod walki politycznej hitlerowskich bojówek. Jednostronna interpretacja wypadków w Potępie, omawiana jest w powojennych opracowaniach historycznych polskich autorów, którzy zapewne z pobudek ideologicznych, nie dostrzegali kryminalnych motywów zbrodni. Tekst niniejszy pokazuje głośne zabójstwo z obu perspektyw. Nawiązuje w ten sposób do artykułu Richarda Bessela z 1977 r., który jako jedyny badacz próbował wskaz…
Economic lot scheduling on multiple production lines with resource constraints
2003
Abstract This paper deals with the multiple production line economic lot scheduling problem, where some items cannot be produced concurrently since they compete for some discrete resources. In particular, cyclic schedules are sought for a problem where identical production lines are present, lost sales are allowed, and minimization of the long-range production, setup, inventory, and shortage penalty costs are required. A heuristic procedure for this problem is introduced, a numerical example is worked out and some computational experiments are presented.

Nordic Cooperation in the Nuclear Safety Sector: High, Low, or Differentiated Integration?
2020
Nordic cooperation has been depicted as eroding due to the increased importance of EU-related cooperation and integration. However, scholars propose that longstanding Nordic networks, grounded in professions and located in the state administration, may prove to be more robust toward external changes. This article discusses this proposal by looking at Nordic cooperation between the national radiation protection and nuclear safety authorities in Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The article maps behavioural perceptions of agency staff based on a dataset of 37 interviews to illustrate if the cooperation between the Nordic authorities is characterized by high integration, low integ…
Authoritarian exclusion and laissez‐faire inclusion: Comparing the punishment of men convicted of sex offenses in England & Wales and Norway*
2021
Abstract: Comparative penologists have described neoliberal and social democratic jurisdictions as though they exist at opposite ends of a continuum of inclusion and exclusion, and as though neoliberal states are inactive and social democratic states are invasive. This article, which is based on more than 129 interviews with men convicted of sex offenses in England & Wales and Norway, uses Cohen's work on inclusion and McNeill's typology of rehabilitative forms to complicate this simplistic binary. It argues that the punishment of men convicted of sex offenses in England & Wales was demanding but exclusionary; it imposed strict legal restrictions on these men during and after their imprison…
Development of extracellular vesicle-based medicinal products: A position paper of the group “Extracellular Vesicle translatiOn to clinicaL perspecti…
2021
International audience; Extracellular vesicles (EV) are emergent therapeutic effectors that have reached clinical trial investigation. To translate EV-based therapeutic to clinic, the challenge is to demonstrate quality, safety, and efficacy, as required for any medicinal product. EV research translation into medicinal products is an exciting and challenging perspective. Recent papers, provide important guidance on regulatory aspects of pharmaceutical development, defining EVs for therapeutic applications and critical considerations for the development of potency tests. In addition, the ISEV Task Force on Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Use of EV-based Therapeutics as well as the Exosomes C…
Comparison and analysis of the revenue-based adaptive queuing models
2006
This paper presents several adaptive resource sharing models that use a revenue criterion to allocate bandwidth in an optimal way. The models ensure QoS requirements of data flows and, at the same time, maximize the total revenue by adjusting parameters of the underlying schedulers. Besides, the adaptive models eliminate the need to find the optimal static weight values because they are calculated dynamically. The simulation consists of several cases that analyse the models and the way they provide the required QoS guarantees. The simulation reveals that the installation of the adaptive model increases the total revenue and ensures the QoS requirements for all service classes. The paper als…
