Pursuits of the Dioecese of Wrocław for Exemption - from thr Beginning of the 14th Century to 1821
2022
Istniejąca od 1000 roku w związku metropolitalnym z Gnieznem diecezja wrocławska, na mocy bulli papieża Piusa VII De salute animarum z16 lipca 1821 roku, stała się diecezją egzymowaną, tj. podległą bezpośrednio pod Stolicę Apostolską. Mijająca 200. rocznica tegoż wydarzenia jest dobrą okazją, aby prześledzić, w jaki sposób dążenia do zerwania zależności kościelnej od związku metropolitalnego z Gnieznem były wypadkową dziejów politycznych śląskiej dzielnicy. W artykule przedstawiono dążenia diecezji wrocławskiej do uzyskania egzempcji, których początki datowane są na okres dominacji czeskiej na Śląsku w I połowie XIV wieku, a uwieńczone zostały prawnymi określeniami w bulli z 1821 roku.

Urbs et Civitas: strategies and technologies for the exploitation of “Metropolis South of the third millennium” (CESCAM 2010)
2011
The contribution illustrates a part of the research: "Strategies and Technologies for the valorization of heritage". Objective of the research is to realize new strategies of building recovery and to promote the cultural patrimony local. Le “metropoli del sud del mondo” sono fortemente caratterizzate da significative densità abitative, anche a causa di un incontrollato consumo di suolo e dell’uso improprio del costruito esistente. In Italia, ed in particolare nel centro-sud di questo paese, città come Roma e Napoli e non ultima Palermo presentano forti criticità in termini di degrado edilizio ed ambientale. Il progetto di ricerca sulle “Strategie e tecnologie per la rigenerazione urbana” (t…
Urban Space and Gender Performativity in Knut Hamsun’s Hunger and Cora Sandel’s Alberta and Freedom
2018
In this article, I discuss the combination of city life and gender performativity in two Norwegian classics, Knut Hamsun’s Hunger (2016) [Sult, 1890] and Cora Sandel’s Alberta and Freedom (1984) [Alberte og friheten, 1931]. These are modernist novels depicting lonely human subjects in an urban space, the first one featuring a man in Kristiania (now Oslo) in the 1880s, the second one a woman and her female acquaintances in Paris in the 1920s. I interpret and compare the two novels by focusing on their intertwined construction of gender performativity and urban space. Gender norms of the city life are critical premises for how the subjects manage to negotiate with different options and obstac…
La condizione metropolitana. Il postcoloniale, l'intercultura, la presa della parola
2014
The term metropolis has a double meaning: it indicates the motherland in the colonialist historical movement and, at the same time, the urban conglomerate that characterizes our postmodernity. The theoretical link between the two meanings can generate a postcolonial critique and an intercultural analysis of our multicultural metropolis, exposed to differences and multiple identifications. At the same time, the metropolitan condition shows us how the contact between the differences is now intra-cultural and no longer inter-cultural, proposing a political rewrite of Intercultural Pedagogy as a plural and materialistic Differences Pedagogy, able to recognize the characteristics of struggle for…
Interactions, spillovers de connaissance et croissance des économies modernes. Faut-il préférer la globalisation ou la proximité géographique ?
2009
Globalisation and metropolisation in modern economies induce some locational strategies of knowledge based activities towards cities and deeply increase trade and move of ideas across cities. In that context, we study the way knowledge spillovers have influenced the economic growth of 82 European Metropolises over the 1990-2005 period. We model knowledge spillovers across cities according to three specific interaction patterns depending either on geography or on global advanced services or thought a combination of these patterns. We show that the mixed pattern matters the best for economic growth of cities in Europe.
From the Metropolitan Areas to the Post-metropolitan Dimension
2021
This chapter introduces a description of the two main areas that will be discussed throughout the book: the metropolitan region of Palermo and South-Eastern Sicily. The chapter starts with a socio-economic analysis describing the characteristics of demography, employment and income in these two parts of Sicily, by comparing them to the situation of other areas in Italy. A spatial analysis of housing and land use complements the socio-economic outlook. Each section describes the most consolidated trends in these areas, but also discusses the most innovative changes and the challenges Sicily has been facing over the years.
Fizikāli korekta attēla iegūšana
2015
Datorgrafika ir viena no populārākām datorzinātnes nozarēm, ar kuru ir saistīti ļoti daudz cilvēku, kas nodarbojās ar modelēšanu, animāciju, arhitektūru vai vienkārši kaut ko dara savam priekam vai pašizpausmei. Un visi šie cilvēki attēlu veidošanai izmanto objektīvu vai neobjektīvu renderēšanas algoritmu. Ja neobjektīvā algoritma rezultāts ir ļoti cieši saistīts ar autora domu un vīziju, tad objektīvā algoritma rezultāts būs ļoti tuvs fizikāli korektam un pietuvināsies fotogrāfijas kvalitātei. Darbā “Fizikāli korekta attēla iegūšana” ir aprakstīta un izpētīta renderēšanas algoritmu vēsture, algoritmu apraksti un atvērtā koda renderēšanas dzinēji, kas pielieto visus darbā minētos algoritmus.
Simuloidun jäähdytyksen suppenemislause
2013
Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma käsittelee simuloitu jäähdytys -nimisen kombinatorisen optimointimenetelmän teoriaa ja käytäntöä. Esimerkiksi kuvankäsittelyssä sovelletun algoritmin ideana on löytää annetulla joukolla määritellyn reaaliarvoisen energiafunktion globaali minimikohta sallimalla - ei pelkästään energiaa vähentäviä - vaan myös energiaa kasvattavia siirtymiä lähtöjoukon alkioiden välillä. Tilastolliseen fysiikkaan analogian omaavan, Gibbsin jakauman ominaisuuksiin pohjautuvan menetelm än matemaattisena perustana toimivat epähomogeeniset Markovin ketjut, joiden suppenemista tarkastellaan Dobrushinin kontraktiokerroinmenetelmän avulla. Simuloidun jäähdytyksen suppenemislause, joka takaa …
Sociocoltura. La riscoperta del rapporto con la terra come "balsamo" per la società ibrida urbana
2014
What is the role of agriculture in contemporary societies? Two thousand years ago, Cicero stated that tending fields is among the noblest occupations for grown men, but our contemporary lifestyle seems to have forgotten that lesson. For a very long time, agriculture has been considered a relic of ancient times, and not to be pursued by techno-friendly citizens. However, we are experiencing a renaissance of attention and importance, as urban gardening and other innovative forms of agriculture and horticulture are spreading throughout our hyper-technological postmetropolises. These forms of crop tending are also stimulating new forms of relationships, spurring people to regain some control ov…
Urban Heat Island Monitoring and Impacts on Citizen's General Health Status in Isfahan Metropolis: A Remote Sensing and Field Survey Approach.
2020
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are one of the urban management challenges, especially in metropolises, which can affect citizens’ health and well-being. This study used a combination of remote sensing techniques with field survey to investigate systematically the effects of UHI on citizens’ health in Isfahan metropolis, Iran. For this purpose, the land surface temperature (LST) over a three-year period was monitored by Landsat-8 satellite imagery based on the split window algorithm. Then, the areas where UHI and urban cold island (UCI) phenomena occurred were identified and a general health questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was applied to evaluate the health status of 800 citizens in terms o…
