description: Forse si tratta solo di un’analogia, ma la distinzione tardo-medievale tra potenza assoluta e ordinata di Dio presenta un’aria di famiglia con alcune argomentazioni di carattere ermeneutico ­– psicanalitico dei primi decenni del XX secolo: in entrambi i casi ci si trova alle prese con quello che si potrebbe definire discorso sull’origine, quell’origine da cui, in qualche maniera, nasce un ordine.

Un unico partito possibile?
Teodicea e determinismo nel pensiero di John Wyclif
Creators: name: Campi, Luigi
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2008

description: La riflessione del maestro inglese può senz’altro essere considerata per molti versi forte: basti pensare alla piena fiducia riposta nella convergenza di ragione e fede e nella sinergia di metafisica realista e logica della scrittura. Tuttavia, non mancano tracce di debolezza: il discorso teologico del primo Wyclif non solo è più complesso e articolato di quanto non si sia soliti pensare, ma oltretutto sembra condurre a conclusioni ben lontane dall’affermazione estrema e urtante di un unico partito possibile per Dio e per l’uomo. Quanto alle formulazioni più mature, oltre alla possibilità di rintracciare indizi di debolezza nello spirito delle tesi giovanili, sembra anche attestabile la presenza di tracce di indebolimento: questo è il bilancio da trarre circa gli interventi correttivi cui Wyclif sottopose le proprie dottrine teologiche, private con il procedere degli anni del sostegno garantito dai ben congegnati argomenti filosofici.
  La stessa ricezione del suo pensiero da parte della tradizione (avversa o favorevole che fosse) può dirsi debole, viziata da fraintendimenti e da letture unilaterali, nonché spesso priva del conforto di riscontri testuali.
  Il ritratto ben noto del riformatore inglese – alla luce di quanto detto sin qui – reclama forse un ricorso più convinto al chiaro-scuro. Basti pensare al dubbio circa l’efficacia del tentativo proposto proprio nel giovanile De universalibus, così come nel De dominio divino, di una conciliazione tra la necessità degli eventi futuri quoad prescienciam Dei e la libertà umana di determinare le proprie azioni, che pure sembrerebbe suffragata da molte evidenze testuali.
  Un modo, questo, per dire che la ballata leggendaria di un Wyclif determinista (presunto o meno) continuerà ancora a essere cantata.

description: The random interlacements (at level u) is a one parameter family of random subsets of Z^d introduced by Sznitman in arXiv:0704.2560. The vacant set at level u is the complement of the random interlacement at level u. In this paper, we study the effect of small quenched noise on connectivity properties of the random interlacement and the vacant set. While the random interlacement induces a connected subgraph of Z^d for all levels u, the vacant set has a non-trivial phase transition in u, as shown in arXiv:0704.2560 and arXiv:0808.3344. For a positive epsilon, we allow each vertex of the random interlacement (referred to as occupied) to become vacant, and each vertex of the vacant set to become occupied with probability epsilon, independently of the randomness of the interlacement, and independently for different vertices. We prove that for any d>=3 and u>0, almost surely, the perturbed random interlacement percolates for small enough noise parameter epsilon. In fact, we prove the stronger statement that Bernoulli percolation on the random interlacement graph has a non-trivial phase transition in wide enough slabs. As a byproduct, we show that any electric network with i.i.d. positive resistances on the interlacement graph is transient, which strengthens our result in arXiv:1102.4758. As for the vacant set, we show that for any d>=3, there is still a non-trivial phase transition in u when the noise parameter epsilon is small enough, and we give explicit upper and lower bounds on the value of the critical threshold, when epsilon tends to 0.

Wavemoth -- Fast spherical harmonic transforms by butterfly matrix compression

description: We present Wavemoth, an experimental open source code for computing scalar spherical harmonic transforms (SHTs). Such transforms are ubiquitous in astronomical data analysis. Our code performs substantially better than existing publicly available codes due to improvements on two fronts. First, the computational core is made more efficient by using small amounts of precomputed data, as well as paying attention to CPU instruction pipelining and cache usage. Second, Wavemoth makes use of a fast and numerically stable algorithm based on compressing a set of linear operators in a precomputation step. The resulting SHT scales as O(L^2 (log L)^2) for the resolution range of practical interest, where L denotes the spherical harmonic truncation degree. For low and medium-range resolutions, Wavemoth tends to be twice as fast as libpsht, which is the current state of the art implementation for the HEALPix grid. At the resolution of the Planck experiment, L ~ 4000, Wavemoth is between three and six times faster than libpsht, depending on the computer architecture and the required precision. Due to the experimental nature of the project, only spherical harmonic synthesis is currently supported, although adding support or spherical harmonic analysis should be trivial.

Чехова в первых жизнеописаниях писателя и проследить изменения в описании праздника в биографических работах советского времени. В результате сопоставления текстов биографических очерков, написанных М.П. Чеховым к томам Писем А.П. Чехова (1906–1911), его биографической книги «Вокруг Чехова. Встречи и впечатления» (1929) и писем писателя, было установлено, что Пасха являлась главным праздником в православной семье Чеховых. Однако брат Антона Павловича первым наложил грубую ретушь на православную семью, на образ отца и на самого писателя, что было принято последующими биографами, и семью писателя сделали светской и атеистической в угоду времени и идеологии.

Semplificare i testi disciplinari: lingua e contenuto vanno d’accordo?

Year: 2012
Subjects: testi disciplinari; complessità morfosintattica e testuale; semplificazione; traduzione intraluinguistica; perdita di contenuti

description: A specialist text is rich in technical terms and is complex from the morphological and syntactical point of view. A foreign student, and perhaps an Italian-speaking one too, does not have a fund of knowledge or sufficient independence and control of linguistic and inferential processes necessary for comprehension.
To help foreign students in their studies, they often tend to simplify specialist texts in Italian schools by intervening, as far as possible, in the language in which specialist knowledge is expressed. Thus, texts are prepared in which the vocabulary, morphology and syntax have been made easier and  the contents reduced.
Simplified texts used to make understanding specialist contents easier are often “a translation of a translation” and do not constitute a real model of a written text. They become mere service tools for understanding and for this reason the inevitable loss of information in some simplifications  is even more delicate.

We show that before some critical number of entanglement swappings is achieved the output state does not violate this inequality either. However, if this number is achieved then for some results of Bell measurements obtained in the protocol of entanglement swapping the output state violates CHSH inequality. Moreover, we show that for different states we have different critical numbers for which CHSH inequality is activated.

The nature of record and the information management crisis in the Government of Canada : a grounded theory study
Creators: name: Xie, Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Information is considered by the Government of Canada its “lifeblood” and its management is regulated by both law and government policy. Being part of information management, records and their management are required to facilitate “accountability, transparency, and collaboration”, including “access to information and records”. The right to access government records is granted by the Canadian Access to Information Act, which, since 1985, has been the main mechanism for the public to inquiry about the government’s conduct and decision-making. The Office of the Information Commissioner was established to monitor the administration of the Act, including assessing government institutions’ performances under the Act. In 2009, the Office reported that almost 60% of the institutions it assessed were rated with a below-average performance, based primarily on their delay in releasing requested records. The Office thus concluded that “The poor performance shown by institutions is symptomatic of what has become a major information management crisis”. This information management crisis motivated the present study, which aimed at finding explanations for it. Within the framework of the grounded theory methodology, data were collected from thirty government departments, including publications, emails, site observations, notes of conversations/teleconferences, and internal records released by Access to Information requests. These field data, along with relevant literature, were coded, memoed, and constantly compared for formulating the explanations, or discovering the substantive theory. At the center of the theory lies the core variable record nature, which underlies ninety six concepts and the hypotheses based on the concepts. According to the theory, when the understanding of record nature is incomplete, the management of records is ineffective and unable to deliver any concrete results, causing in departments the marginalization of the records management function, the disappearance of records, and ultimately, the inability to perform basic yet critical tasks in supporting government operation and accountability, that is, the information management crisis. The study contributes to archival science in general, and to records management in particular, both theoretically and methodologically. It specifies the concept of record nature, clarifies popular misconceptions, elaborates on records management principles, and offers a records management work model conforming to the generated theory.

description: The \emph{metric dimension} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\dim(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by its distances to the chosen vertices. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$ and let $f: V(G_1) \rightarrow V(G_2)$ be a function. Then a \emph{functigraph} $C(G, f)=(V, E)$ has the vertex set $V=V(G_1) \cup V(G_2)$ and the edge set $E=E(G_1) \cup E(G_2) \cup \{uv \mid v=f(u)\}$. We study how metric dimension behaves in passing from $G$ to $C(G,f)$ by first showing that $2 \le \dim(C(G, f)) \le 2n-3$, if $G$ is a connected graph of order $n \ge 3$ and $f$ is any function. We further investigate the metric dimension of functigraphs on complete graphs and on cycles.

description: The shape of homogeneous, generic, smooth convex bodies as described by the Euclidean distance with nondegenerate critical points, measured from the center of mass represents a rather restricted class M_C of Morse-Smale functions on S^2. Here we show that even M_C exhibits the complexity known for general Morse-Smale functions on S^2 by exhausting all combinatorial possibilities: every 2-colored quadrangulation of the sphere is isomorphic to a suitably represented Morse-Smale complex associated with a function in M_C (and vice versa). We prove our claim by an inductive algorithm, starting from the path graph P_2 and generating convex bodies corresponding to quadrangulations with increasing number of vertices by performing each combinatorially possible vertex splitting by a convexity-preserving local manipulation of the surface. Since convex bodies carrying Morse-Smale complexes isomorphic to P_2 exist, this algorithm not only proves our claim but also generalizes the known classification scheme in [36]. Our expansion algorithm is essentially the dual procedure to the algorithm presented by Edelsbrunner et al. in [21], producing a hierarchy of increasingly coarse Morse-Smale complexes. We point out applications to pebble shapes.

Opposition and dissent in petro-states : international oil markets and political mobilization in Russia
Creators: name: Kniazeva, Olga
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Using Russia as the main case study over a number of historical periods and Venezuela as a secondary case for comparison, this dissertation proposes an argument which links oil rents to political contestation in petro-regimes and suggests that this, along with the elites’ actions, is the key factor that helps to explain the regime type and the direction of the change in times of external economic shocks. When oil prices are high, petro-states have overwhelming incentives to expand social spending in order to ensure obedience and calm down potential political opponents, which appears to be an easy means of securing legitimacy. The state has more freedom to advance its policies and is less vulnerable to societal demands because it has access to external rents. However, the society is also affected: social groups demand the redistribution of oil wealth and engage in rent-seeking instead of establishing formal channels of interest representation. Consequently, the social contract that emerges is based on the shared understanding of the role of the state as a re-distributor of oil rents and guarantor of societal welfare. When oil prices drop, the state can no longer meet the expectations associated with its legitimacy, becomes more vulnerable to internal and external pressures; social forces tend to mobilize in response to cuts in social spending, and the social contract may break down. The pre-oil features of social organization and state-society relations shape the configuration of the resulting social contract and its disintegration. The main contribution of this dissertation is to create a compelling theory that convincingly explains the empirical observations with respect to one case, by identifying the mechanisms of how oil rent fluctuations translate into regime fluctuations and testing the hypotheses on the effect of external economic shocks on the state’s behavior and popular contentious claims, as well as the choices made by contenders to voice their political demands. Beyond that, I add another shadow case study for a substantially different polity, and demonstrate that the mechanisms I identified work very similarly in different sociopolitical systems, although the specific outcome depends on pre-existing sociopolitical features of the state.

It is shown that under strong system-reservoir coupling the dynamics of purity can determine whether there are initial correlations between system and environment. Moreover, we investigate the interaction of two two-level atoms with the same reservoir. In this case, we show that besides determining if there are initial system-environment correlations, the dynamics of the purity of the atomic system allows the identification of the distinct correlated initial states. In addition, the dynamics of quantum and classical correlations is analyzed.

Orientalismi: nuove prospettive interpretative
Creators: name: Proglio, Gabriele
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: femminismo; postcoloniale; memoria e orientalismo

description: This paper is aimed at reconsidering the concept of Orientalism in a new and multiple perspective, and at proposing a different interpretation of the relationship between culture and power, starting from Edward Said’s theoretical frame of reference. If Said’s representational model is repositioned out of structuralist and foucaultian frameworks and separated from the gramscian idea of hegemony-subordination, indeed, it may be possible to re-discuss the traditional profile identifying the Other in the European cultures. My basic assumption here is that Orientalism should not be understood as a consensus mechanism, which is able to produce diversified images of the Orient and the Oriental on demand. Although, of course, in most cases Orientalism is connected to the issue of power, its meanings could also be explained —as it will be soon shown— otherwise.
Let’s take The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino as an example. Here the narratives are not just multiple repetitions of Venice —in Said’s case, the same would hold for Europeanism—, but they could be strategically re-appropriated by those “others” and “alterities” whose bodies and identities are imposed by the Eurocentric discourse. In this sense, a double link may be identified with queer theories and postcolonial studies, and the notion of subordination will be rethought.
Finally, from the above mentioned borders, a new idea of image emerges, which appears as linear, uniform and flattened only to the European gaze, whereas in actual fact it is made of imaginaries and forms of knowledge, which combine representation with the conceptualization of power relationships.

Orientalism Now: Lebanese History, Identity and Alterity
Creators: name: Nader, Marwan Anthony
name: Nader, Myrna Alexandra
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: Culture; Identity; Other; Lebanese; Christians; Muslims

description: In this essay we apply Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism to a study of Lebanese culture and identity. The starting point is pedagogical, the intellectual license assumed by western thinkers in constructing, interpreting and articulating the history of the East. However, does this theory help us to understand the crisis of identity that has been the source of so much conflict in Lebanon in the past?
What we contend is that though undeniably Said’s Orientalism has generated arguments and counterarguments, it remains, as regards the history of Lebanon, a reductive concept that simplifies the difference between European outsider and Eastern “other”. Rather, it is necessary to take into account what in contemporary sociological terms is a far more complex encounter between Christians, Muslims and Jews. Geographically, the physical landscape encompasses division and even inaccessibility. This cultural palimpsest resists homogeneity: Maronites, for example, the most prominent Christian sect, have since the twelfth century looked to Rome for spiritual guidance; Sunnis and Shiites assert their own denominational allegiances; and Jews, though their presence has been almost completely eliminated, their identity remains evident in the electoral registers, and emblematised in the empty places of worship.
Our modus operandi is to adopt an ontological and epistemological approach in the study of Orientalism, while, at the same time, exploring the realities of sectarian divisions in Lebanon, which determine how people, in the formation of identity, respond to and interact with their immediate surroundings. Bearing in mind the inherent religious differences that divide the Lebanese, where then is otherness to be located? Arguably, the ideological fissures that exist between them have allowed outsiders to penetrate their culture and to monopolise their knowledge.

The result is that a closed, oriented, connected three-manifold is dominated by a product if and only if it is finitely covered either by a product or by a connected sum of copies of the product of the two-sphere and the circle. This characterization can also be formulated in terms of Thurston geometries, or in terms of purely algebraic properties of the fundamental group. We also determine which three-manifolds are dominated by non-trivial circle bundles, and which three-manifold groups are presentable by products.

description: The morphological evolution and the effect of growth temperature on size, orientation and composition of molecular beam epitaxy grown Ge-Si islands on Si(5 5 12) surfaces have been investigated in the temperature range from room temperature (RT) to 800$^\circ$C. Two modes of substrate heating i.e. radiative heating (RH) and direct current heating (DH) have been used. The post-growth characterization was carried out ex situ by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (X-TEM) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). In the RH case, we found spherical island structures at 600$^\circ$C with a bimodal distribution and upon increasing temperature, the structures got faceted at 700$^\circ$C. At 800$^\circ$C thick ($\sim$ 122nm) dome like structures are formed bounded by facets. While in the case of DC heating, after the optimum critical temperature 600$^\circ$C, well aligned trapezoidal Si$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$ structures with a graded composition starts forming along the step edges. Interestingly, these aligned structures have been found only around 600$^\circ$C, neither at low temperature nor at higher temperatures.

Esportazione di un modello poetico orientale. L’esempio dello haiku nella letteratura spagnola ultima
Creators: name: Calabrese, Giuliana

description: As explained by George Steiner in Nostalgia for The Absolute (1974), after the decline of the formal religious systems and of the major theories-mythologies of the XIX-XX centuries as  well (Marxism, Freudian psychoanalysis and Lévy-Straussian anthropology), in Western culture it has appeared a great moral and emotional  emptiness. In order to avoid this condition, Western emptiness has often been replaced with “irrational waves” of supernatural concepts as astrology, occultism and Orientalism.
Thanks to this perspective, an Oriental cultural model can be used in Western society and find a new onset in an artistic form such as short poetry (already used in Western literature by the great Latin-American masters José Juan Tablada, Octavio Paz, Jorge Luis Borges and by some of the Spanish poets of the so called Generación del 27). In Spain, in the last decade, thanks to the Eastern model, the haiku, an example of short poetry, has been a recurring model in the youngest poets’ literature but also in their predecessors’ poetry.
The aim of this paper is to present a way among some writings of haiku, that in these last years has become an inevitable model in the exclusive practice and in combination with other poetic forms as well. We will see how poets use haiku in a standard way (the description of a moment of contemplation of nature) but also how they apply haiku’s philosophy to the Western context. Spanish poets as Josep María Rodríguez, Aurora Luque or Manuel Lara Cantizani show how Eastern legacy can gain a greater and greater power, even if, in some cases, its aesthetical-poetical essence has been adapted to the Western Postmodern context that practices it.

The Omega deformed B-model for rigid N=2 theories

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We give an interpretation of the Omega deformed B-model that leads naturally to the generalized holomorphic anomaly equations. Direct integration of the latter calculates topological amplitudes of four dimensional rigid N=2 theories explicitly in general Omega-backgrounds in terms of modular forms. These amplitudes encode the refined BPS spectrum as well as new gravitational couplings in the effective action of N=2 supersymmetric theories. The rigid N=2 field theories we focus on are the conformal rank one N=2 Seiberg-Witten theories. The failure of holomorphicity is milder in the conformal cases, but fixing the holomorphic ambiguity is only possible upon mass deformation. Our formalism applies irrespectively of whether a Lagrangian formulation exists. In the class of rigid N=2 theories arising from compactifications on local Calabi-Yau manifolds, we consider the theory of local P2. We calculate motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants for this geometry and make predictions for generalized Gromov-Witten invariants at the orbifold point.

Abu Ghraib and Beyond: Torture as an Extension of the Desiring Machine
Creators: name: Nashef, Hania
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano

Subjects: Abu Ghreib, Orient, Deviance, Torture, Desiring Machine, Colonialism

description: In his discussion of Dante’s Inferno, Edward Said writes that “Maometto” or Mohammed occupies the eighth circle in the nine circles of Hell, belonging to “a rigid hierarchy of evils.”  According to Said, “Maometto” is “endlessly being cleft in two from his chin to his anus,” a punishment in Dante’s belief is well deserved because of Maometto’s sensuality and “pretensions to theological eminence.”  Such graphic description of torment evokes scenes of torture we have of late witnessed in Abu Ghreib and Guantanamo.  Prisoners, not only, were subjected to physical abuse but were also subjected to acts of sexual perversion as was revealed by the photos.  Furthermore, the latter showed those who partook in these actions seemed to be enjoying the power that the exercise of torture gave them.  Robert J.C. Young states that Colonialism “was not only a machine of war … but also a desiring machine.”  This poses the question as to whether torture does allow for the enactment of repressed desire by allowing it to surface by providing it with a venue in which it becomes acceptable.  Moreover, does Colonialism in its previous or in its current form, only sustain itself fundamentally through constant violence, of which perversion is a vital component as these practices are playing into the repertoire of the evil East, or is the perversion an extension of a suppressed Oedipus complex?

Torus Quotients as Global Quotients by Finite Groups

description: This article is motivated by the following local-to-global question: is every variety with tame quotient singularities globally the quotient of a smooth variety by a finite group? We show that this question has a positive answer for all quasi-projective varieties which are expressible as a quotient of a smooth variety by a split torus (e.g. simplicial toric varieties). Although simplicial toric varieties are rarely toric quotients of smooth varieties by finite groups, we give an explicit procedure for constructing the quotient structure using toric techniques. This result follow from a characterization of varieties which are expressible as the quotient of a smooth variety by a split torus. As an additional application of this characterization, we show that a variety with abelian quotient singularities may fail to be a quotient of a smooth variety by a finite abelian group. Concretely, we show that $\mathbb{P}^2/A_5$ is not expressible as a quotient of a smooth variety by a finite abelian group.

Nuovi concittadini? I giovani di origine immigrata, vettore di cambiamento della società italiana
Creators: name: Ambrosini, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2009
Subjects: migrazioni; seconde generazioni; giovani; famiglie; scuola; cittadinanza

description: The article deals with the increase of a population of immigrant origins' youth in Italy, starting from  a piece of research, conducted by different methods:

1-     a survey on  families whose members have been separated during the migration and now they are rejoined

2-     a survey on pre-adolescents (11-14 years old)

3-     a survey on educational outcomes in secondary school

4-     a survey on the opinion of immigrant origins' youth about citizenship

The scenario outlined, where a youth population of foreign origins becomes more an more visible, questions the social and political institutions, and compels to rethink the concepts of Italian society and Italian cultural identity.

Generalized symmetry classification of discrete equations of a class depending on twelve parameters

description: We carry out the generalized symmetry classification of polylinear autonomous discrete equations defined on the square, which belong to a twelve-parametric class. The direct result of this classification is a list of equations containing no new examples. However, as an indirect result of this work we find a number of integrable examples pretending to be new. One of them has a nonstandard symmetry structure, the others are analogues of the Liouville equation in the sense that those are Darboux integrable. We also enumerate all equations of the class, which are linearizable via a two-point first integral, and specify the nature of integrability of some known equations.

Subjects: El-Ghibli; Literary Magazine; Italian Literature; Migrant Literature; Postcolonial Literature;

description: During the XX, literary magazines were the elected places for experimenting in literature and for spreading cultural and political manifestoes, but in the XXI print seems to loose its appeal. Online literary magazines begin publishing important writers and interesting new ones. Besides they deal with the most significant themes of our time. El Ghibli - rivista online di letteratura della migrazione, that really promotes migrant writers in Italy, is elected as a case study. This article describes its essential features and verifies its position among Italian literature and national cultural movements. Moreover, it is a preliminary study of the magazine which is a quite original issue within the Italian milieu.
